[1 v 1] I Saw It First (Momo/Cain)

[Yayoi]

For the most part Momo had been having a pretty easy time getting used to the island and all the other people that she shared this island with. She had to admit, for some bare bones parts this place really wasn't all that bad. Though she could deal with a bit more sunshine for some beach going but hey she wasn't going to complain. Free room and board for the most part, so what if she couldn't get a tan? Not like she couldn't get off the island for that.

Anyways.

The Mist trainee had made her way down to the training grounds. At the continuous urging Kurokoushaku had been giving her the past few days. There wasn't anyone around from what she could see. Momo had scoped out a few of the training dummies and poked about here and there, but there really didn't seem to be anything of particular interest to her here.

You should practice on one of those dummies. How are you to use me to my full potential if you never wield me in battle? Kuro's voice was a bit agitated to say the least but still it was reserved.

"Yea yea, I'll get to it." She twisted the serpentine ring around her left middle finger, Kurokoushaku's dormant form, as she moved about the training field once again. But something suddenly caught her attention. Something brightly colored just laying in the dirt. Violet eyes squinted before snapping wide as Momo let out a small squeal. C...Could that be?

"No ******** way." Someone had dropped what seemed to be the cutest little key chain. Just leaving it there in the dirt. Who on earth would do that?! Well Momo decided then and there that she was going to give it a good home. Along with all the rest of her collection.

Cain was in fact present at the training grounds, only, one probably wouldn't be able to see the shorter male among the dummies. Not only for his height but Cain was hunkering low to the ground and moving at a snails pace, searching. In the minutes before the grounds had been buzzing with hunters and while looking for practice Cain had stumbled upon a key chain, one in which was not in his collection yet. Determined to find it now that everyone was gone and it was less embarrassing, he combed the grounds.

Raven hair peeked from behind a dummy when a squeal shattered the peace of the training grounds. Violet eyes focused in on a girl, then flickered down to meet her gaze. No ******** way, the key chain was there in the dirt. Quickly stepping out Cain went towards the key chain and the girl, "hey, I hope you don't plan on picking that up!" Because if so, they were going to have some words, even if was hers, first to get it right?

When the guy creeped out from between the dummies it nearly scared Momo to death. But then it seemed like he was warning her not to pick up that key chain. Oh ho no. He wanted it all for himself, she knew it. The Mist trainee moved closer to the key chain, eyeballing the dude who was also moving towards it.

Stopping a mere foot away from it, she pointed a finger at him. Her red nail polish seemed to reflect her fiery objection to him even considering snatching this golden opportunity away from her. "And if I do? What then?" Momo inched her left foot forward a few inches.

What are you doing? The serpent let out an exasperated sigh.

Shut up Kuro, this is business.

The eye ball was returned back to girl, if she thought that cheap trick would scare him off, she had no idea who she was messing with. There was not a chance in frosty hell, that colorful piece of wonderful was his. A crackle sounded in his head and he shook it violently to shut JoJo up, only as always that didn't work. The witch was a mad fit of laughter, taunting already.

Stopping an equal distance away from the key-chain violet eyes stared down the matching set, not at all detoured from the point. It had begun, Pokemon music was playing in his head, they had made eye contact and exchanged words. Now it was, battle time.

Seriously!? LETS DO IT! Let's kick her butt! Though...we can give her the key chain.

Like hell she's getting that key-chain!

"Then we'll have problems because it's mine." Cain replied simply, blunt and to the point as his hand moved to pull a pen from his belt loop. JoJo's totem form. "I seen it first, and I'm willing to fight for it." If only because she was the only one around at the moment.

Eyes narrowed at his declaration of ownership. She didn't believe him at all. Surely she had seen it way before he had, so it was totally hers.

A large grin spread across Momo's face, curling the corner of her lips. He wanted to fight for it? Fine. She would oblige. Watching as he pulled the pen from his belt, her right hand instinctively moving to touch the serpentine ring on her left hand.

Really? You're going to use me in a fight over some toy?

You wanted me to practice so we're going to practice all over this guys a**. And that is a collectors item ok.

Very well. At least she was going to put him to some use, even if he didn't quite agree about this particular scuffle.

"Well then, that certainly is a problem because its mine. But I'm willing to give you a chance at it. A small chance." She was feeling super confident for someone who had never fought with her weapon before. But confidence was a plus and Momo always had confidence no matter what the situation. Not like she hadn't almost died before, what were a few little scratches?

Cheekiebirdiee

 

[Cheekiebirdiee]

While Jojo had no interest of her own in the toy, she was all for a good battle. Since she'd been with Cain they only had one spar under their belt, which was nowhere near enough to quell her thrist. So any chance even one so petty to get some action the witch was all for encouraging.

Gooo for it, go at her now!

Shut up Jojo, you have no sense for anything, this is a spar not a blood bath.

It could be a ...blood bath.

"Please, the only thing that's small will be your chances of winning." She wanted to talk smack, he could roll with that and even smile. This wasn't a battle of hatred after all, it was just business. Summoning Jojo from totem, the polearm was extended towards her, beckoning for the draw.  

[Yayoi]

Just try not to kill him...or bring him to the brink of death, Momo. Despite your grievances over this toy you are both allies.

Yea yea yea.

Momo gave the ring a hard twist, summoning Kurokoushaku into his weapon form. A large, heavy cleaver that was a few inches taller than her. It took her a second to adjust to the weight. Hopefully he couldn't tell it was her first time.

"Lets do this then." Grasping the handle of her sword with both hands Momo moved in a readying position as she waited for him to make the first move. She really wished she had her headphones. Some music to fight to would have been awesome. Like some big, bad a** show down. Guess she would just have to settle for singing music in her head.

[Cheekiebirdiee]

When the mist hunters weapon came into view a look close to envy passed through violet eyes. That was ******** huge, compared to his sparkly sparkly polearm. "You would have a huge a** weapon." He snorted, clearly more admiring than he wanted to sound as a wrinkle of nose followed. A life hunter was he, and so eyes ran the form noting the height differences and trying to run if she was able to handle the weight, so far it did look like she adjusted pretty professionally.

The bigger they are the harder they ...uh...something! Let's get them!

Settle down.

"Lets." Cain noted the drop back which singled first strike on him, a twirl around of Jojo in his hand and he was rushing. Holding the polearm like a baseball bat he was ready to bunt with until the very last second. At that moment Cain gave a jump back for distance then swung the polearm out serrated end coming towards the girl.

"Kurokoushaku is a big boy isn't he?" She grinned while running her hand along the flat side of the blade lovingly. "If you're scared we can stop now and you can admit defeat."

Tilting her head, Momo leaning slightly to the left. Avoiding the majority of his attack. Though she could feel the sharp edge of his pole arm's blade come rather close to her cheek. His weapon was rather pretty, perhaps a bit too pretty for a fighting weapon in her mind.

Beauty can still be deadly. Pay attention.

"My turn!" She lept forward, bringing the cleaver in an arching sweep forward towards Cain. Twisting the handle at the last second so that the serrated edge might catch him as she wrenched the weapon back towards her.

"Unless Kurokoushaku shoots out spiders..there's no way in hell." Cain was amused though with the attempt to gain surrender. Course she was probably joking, probably, so he returned the favor. "But if this means your already intimated I'll take a surrender and the key-chain." Inside his head a crackle of mocking laughter sounded, making him wondered if this is what people who went nuts felt like. The constant laughter, the annoying -

I can hear you..

And?

There was a groan in his mind when the majority of their attack was evaded. With the jump he landed seconds later after attack, feet shifting to firmly lock himself to the ground. Balance was stressed mentally as he adjusted and held JoJo in a half horizontal pose to protect himself while waiting.

The cleaver came in at a fast pace but he did well to get to the left in time for only a portion of the end to catch him. One wince later and he was twirling JoJo around, holding the weapon high towards the blade and shooting the end down at the girls feet. An attempt to knock her on her a** and lessen that focus.

"Spider hm?" Well now that she knew a weakness of his. Not that it would really help her now. But! It was a good bit of information to hold onto. Momo made a very undignified noise at his retort. "Yeaaaaa no. Don't think so."

She had moved to avoid the end of his spear tangling up her legs, but all that really resulted in was the end smacking her bit toe. The Mist trainee bit her bottom lip to keep from making yet another undignified noise as her eyes got a little misty in the corners. That was playing dirty! Everyone knew that toes were the worst place to get smacked or poked or stomped on. At least she was wearing boots, it kind of lessened the blow. But her toe was still going to throw a bit and throb during the rest of this spar it seemed.

Hopping back a bit, she took in a deep breath. Just breath, it'll be ok. The throbbing toe will be worth it once you've won. Again she came at him, pulling her sword back over her head almost catching the back of her foot before she brought it back over her head in a crushing downward blow.

He shrugged neither further confirming nor denying to the spiders. Not all of them freaked him out, just the super hairy larger variety ones. The ones that looked like they were the size of your fist and could eat your ear off. The noise she made had him grinning a touch, then more so as the hit connected.

The look he got from the foot swipe was a rather curious one, did she have tender feet? His own tenderness had been harden over time with barefoot ventures all over if he could get by without shoes. A note was made and locked in the vault of his mind.

The hit knocked him on his a**, and had him thankful for the fear shield, very thankful. It still hurt like a mother though lucky wasn't horrible as he had managed to take just part of the hit by jumping back, that's when his footing was lost and he fell. With the hit came a rush of adrenaline that had the pole arm in his hand shooting straight forward at the girl, a jab sort of motion.

When he fell back Momo saw an opportunity.

As she moved in close, the Mist hunter moved to dodge his jab. The blade jabbing at her left arm tore at the sleeve of her shirt. And she stopped dead in her tracks, staring at it in horror.

"Y...you jerk this was one of my best shirts..." Momo tightened her grip on her sword. Dark red lips pulling into a tight line. Now it was personal. She charged at him, gritting her teeth as she heaved Kuro back over her shoulder and brought him down once again at Cain.

The look of horror told him all he needed to know, like every girl this one was clothes crazy. And he had just entered a shitfest thanks to that tear, clutching Jojo tightly the life trainee tried to backpedal as she finally snapped back into motion. "Hey! It's not like I was aiming to- " Oh s**t, he tried to roll because it was all he could think to do in the moment seeing Kuro coming down at him.

Damn.

Dazed he remained still for a moment before hissing and on a wince while sitting up. Raven hair falling to frame curly around his tanned cheeks, thanks to the rilakkuma hair tie being knocked free in mid-roll. It laid dirty on the ground, a sight Cain looked upon furiously before violet eyes snapped up to the girl. "Are you ******** insane!?" While he had fear shield, that was a little much, or it was to him.

Though he was hissing, he wasn't super pissed, pushing to his feet the man moved to snatch up his hair tie. "Ugg..hopefully it's not broke."Sorry Momo, he kind of forgot you existed for the moment.

Yayoi

 

[Yayoi]

It was ok Cain, because Momo had totally forgotten about you for the moment too.

Sticking Kuro point down into the dirt, she flopped onto the ground with a grumble. Violet eyes narrowed as she inspected the tear in her shirt. It wasn't big but it was enough to be noticeable. The plus side was that it was higher up on her arm so she could easily cover it up with a jacket.

She missed his crazy comment entirely. But what could she do? Momo loved her clothes.

Sighing, she stuck two fingers into the tear then gave a tug, ripping the long sleeve completely off. "One sleeve is fashionable right?"
