"That is correct. I am from The Old Ways of Bushido. Right now. I'm just traveling to be honest, looking for a place to call my true home. If you'd understand what I meant." her voice rang warmly to the bars interesting decor, the wood softening the amount of distance, and her body completely void of all tension. She was in a completely relaxed state at this point. She was curious in what the man wanted with her, and really wanted to understand more about it. She liked answering questions to a limit, and was willing to continue with no problem or qualm in the pattern.

As she pushed back against the wall a bit more, her hair flushed, and her skin pressing deeply against the stone cold wall of wood, she would move her right hand over her chest, and brought up the case of her weapon with relative ease. It seemed more like a reflex then wanted action, but as she drove up the warm gold printed, blue layered, and stainless unity of wood, she rested it in against her chest. Then she followed by tucking the chin of her head, into the location of her neck. Much like a resting soldier, or relaxing drunk.

"If you want to know anything else just ask, so who are you really?" she asked the man with abundant curiosity. She knew he was hiding something, but couldn't place her finger on it fully. Despite, most just lying about it, she would try a direct attempt to find out who he truly was. Something, very few tried, but it usually worked if done correctly. As her words rang into the room, she moved the drop of her right foot, and moved it up over to her left knee. Placing the clothed foot, and sandal on top of the other.

OOC NOTE: Sorry if it came out weird, had no sleep.

Her motion to leave, was cut short once the man followed her again, and began to speak. "Proposal?" was all that she really heard from the man before turning back around to face him, her locked eyes connecting to his while she continued her walk backwards. Forcing her body to sway slightly to the movement, and her hair whisking in the wind during the turn. She had, become curious about what he wanted. If he came out with the wrong thing, despite what had happened. She would ensure his demise. If he wanted to ask, something perverted or worse. It might turn out even worse for the man then death, but she was sure. He wasn't that kind of idiot.

The moment, he asked to go grab tea or another source of "sociable" situations, it became clear that it might be business related. She didn't even mention a word, nothing more the favorable whisk of her hand to signal, that he had caught her attention. Then, as the two started to walk from the large, and now tarnished region of the Arena. The goal was to move into the, restaurant district of the small, and poor-lined area. To her surprise, as she entered the first wave of various restaurants, and bar like buildings. They seemed well into the money-making type. Nicely built, and uniquely decorated to the style of the place.

A smart, and enjoyable view. As she continued to move down the lines of various places, her eyes locked onto a large, and rustic looking building. It was large, and at-least held two or more stories. Outside of it, was a large golden fish statue, and the doors embraced with frizzled wood. It looked aged, but still finely tuned to the time, and was made nearly entirely by Bamboo, and Oak wood. A perfect structure, and a even better eating establishment. "Here" her voice finally bloomed, as she directed the man towards the building.

Moving towards it, she would push against the saloon-styled doors, and move into the large building. Several tables, and mats placed along the entire length of the west, and east walls. The middle was nothing but large booths, and grills. Once more, leading the young-man to the side of the wall just directly behind the entrance, she would sit down onto a plush red, and white firmed mat, and lean against the wall. Waiting for him to take a seat.

The mist stood firm for a few more moments, as the man unknown to her had started to prepare something. Though, unclear of what it was, and with no ability to tell. She stood there, and waited. Her weapon draw to her hand, and case held close with the other. Only able to relay on sound in this dense environment. Then it happened. A thunderous eruption, and then nothing but blinding darkness, and driven blindness. She hit the ground hard, and with a thud. Her blade smacking against the hard, cold flooring of the arena, and forced to crackle, and snap against the weight of the drop before sliding away from her body.

Hindered in smoke, and soft red wounds. She had been taken down by the surprise, and hidden technique of the other. Able to do nothing, but lay there till the moment she returned to her senses. Time went by slowly, and soon it came back to her after sitting in the mist for a few more moments. A single flare of light hitting her eyes, as she snapped back to attention, and opened her eyes finally since he had closed them a while ago. In front of her was the same young-man, with his hand extended towards. She had dishonored herself by losing like that, and simply smirked at the man for a moment, and then pushed her hands against the ground before getting up with her own accord.

Pride-broken, and drive smashed. She moved back towards her blade, that was now smoking, and shaking due to the previous attack. With a single kneeing position, she recovered the weapon before sliding it back into the area of original tie-down. Preferring to keep it-safe then her own-self if she could. "Well, you won. I lost, I'll be leaving now. I need to train, in order to beat this short condition." her voice was shaken a bit, before she turned to leave. Walking towards the exit, unless stopped.

OOC NOTE: This is not leaving fully, one word, and she will stop to speak.

"Echoing steps, and thunderous tones. Beckon, the call of the blades withdrawal..I am Tsukikage Haya, Gai...May, honor shine this day."

Her voice stood strong, but yet changed in tone. The normal pride, and skillful speaking now with wise, and unnerving tone. In what appeared as momentary movement, her hand whisked from the edge of her hilt, and pulled back to the side of her cloth clothing. A quickened moving item, was drawn from the depths of her large, and overly sized sleeves. A simple, scythe styled weapon. The blade made of basic iron, and the handle of whiskered wood. It was slightly curved at the tip for various uses. As she pulled back with her hand, intention to throw it, a small line of ribbon dangled with that of a small spherical object. In only moments, her hand was pulled forward by the raw muscle of her arm, the scythe sent launching out at the man. The movement rapid, and spinning in a varying angle. The idea, was to hide the secondary item that was just thrown behind at the same time.

As it went forward in the air, the young woman moved her hands back directly in front of her chest. Fingers locked into a connecting pose, and then brought apart several times to form the common hand-seals for a very viable academic technique. Then, boom! The spherical object erupted, into a massive blinding flash. That would soon, if not stopped. Take over the arena for a split moment, all the time that was needed for her to complete the rapid assorted seals. It was all in the planning, as she finished the connective line. Her body, flickered, and blurred into various colors. Her body completely vanishing for only a moment, the Kama now replacing her body, and her body in the location of the previous item.

As soon as she appeared forth, she took to the right, and rushed around in a circular manner. Her hand sliding back into her shadow stained, and perfectly fitting outfit. As she moved, in perfect unison. Her hand had reached the goal, and tossed out the following scythe in the blinding notion, the timing must be matched, and it was a crucial point. This one was aimed low to the ground, in a attempt to make him airborne. If it worked, and he could see the attack. It would play out for her later.

Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique)
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Chakra: Very Low
Special: Switch is near-instantaneous. Kawarimi can only be used once per thread, plus one more each time retrained. However, the technique itself can only be used once per turn, regardless of retraining. Requires the user to switch with objects equal or smaller in size; cannot switch with other living people or animals.
Description: This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, the moment an attack hits. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. The user can then use this confusion to escape or launch a counter-attack - i.e. exploding tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise.
Domain: Academy Ninjutsu.

The Totsuki courtyard.

It was a well known part of the city, mainly due to the over joyous conditions of the ruffian styled tournament that happened every once in a while. The perfect chance for both Warrior, and Mercenary alike to come together for agile combat, and engaged forces. Sharp winds from the high cliffs, and drastic chances of weather in the area made it a real test of "manhood", and often resulting in injury but the chance to gain a sense of honor, or the pursuit of proven skill. Sometimes even money, if you did it right. Bets were far from not being common, and sometimes people lost, and could not pay. The outcome was far from enjoyable.

The young woman had made her way from the high-land cliffs nearby, and held her honor in her hands, as she wished to prove her might in the arena. It was a chance to truly test her skill with others of the same level, and at the same time. She wanted to improve, and watch the others to see what changes could be performed to enhance her own style. Then it happened, a young man had just stepped onto her unprotected sandal foot. The whiskered wheat of it, cracked, and splattered at the base of her foot, it did give her a chance to realize that she had not repaired or changed her shoes in a while, and then a jolting pain stabbed into the back of her head. Her big toe had been stepped on, and stubbed. Painful, to even the most dedicated, and pain-vary person.

In a flicker of movement, she brought her foot up to her knee, and began to hop on her right foot. Her body hoping slightly, before falling back against the wall, a bit of blood dripping from the edge of the nail, and painful stabbing jolts repeatedly entering her mind. It wasn't painful, it just stung quite badly, and kept throbbing. Each passing moment, it kept getting worse then eased down, before regaining full condition. "WHAT THE HELL!" she shouted out, just before she heard the man actually speak, her voice was shutdown, and shot into nothing but a passing moment, while her head moved up to face the man that might have drastically reduced her chance of winning in the arena. A man, that might have just made her lose a sense of honor.

Then when his words fully flooded her ears, she understood that he was in fact, sorry for what he had done. Not many people around those parts actually did that, and most told the other to watch what they were doing. The cold, and cobbled wall pressing to her back while she dropped her foot back down in a tasking motion, it still stinging slightly, but it would soon pass. Her body weight leaning fully against the wall just behind her, she kept her eyes focused on the young man. "Its fine, just watch your step next time? Alright?" she brushed her hands against the cold exterior of the wall behind her, several shocking colors appearing on it, and several designs to indicate the architect.

Her warm, and graced hair brushing against her exposed face. Her strong lips, bitten down with her upper-teeth as a show of pain, but yet. It seemed like the best thing to do at the moment, to control the throbbing for a moment or so. "So why are you out here? You in the matches?" she asked with curious tone, her eyes never leaving him. It was a sign of respect, towards what could be another warrior of the code.
