☆☽Miya Tsukiko Tora☾☆ ☆═━If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you catch the tiger’s cub?━═☆
In a lush and peaceful clearing a few miles from Beacon, the moon shined bright upon it, not a cloud in sight. Lighting the scene for chaos to commence. Gently encircled by trees that are thinner than the rest of the forest. The wind is gentle if a little chilly.
Curiosity had gotten the better of the tiger faunus when she received a message on her scroll. Icy-blue eyes would scan the area as she strolled through the forest. She remembered this place had Grimm, but it was nighttime, so they should be fine. At least she had hoped so, or else they might get more than just a little training session. Just in case, she had brought her bow and quiver of arrows that rested at her back currently."Okay...Where is he? Who is he?"Tsuki was little more than excited but she also could not help thinking it might be a trap...well, too late now."Okay, sooo...here. Where is he,"Tsuki thought in a whisper; a soft, but strong soprano with a gentle purr-like undertone breaks the current silence of the night.
As she would make her way towards the clearing she saw just up ahead, she would check her scroll to see where this person's dot was."Okay, so I'll be first."Tsuki thought with a shrug. Her hand lightly went to her shoulder bag and took out dark fan. She also hoped her acquaintance would be properly prepared for this as she had. Her dress was not subtle in color as it were bold red and black, but was not revealing. The length of the back skirt rested to just above her ankles and the front skirt no more than three inches above the knee, her boots rested above her knee. Still, she felt a little chill.
Her long white hair with black streaks through it was pulled back in a long braid to keep it out of her face. This was useful for if they really did end up fighting right off the bat. Either way, she would hope this would all be in good fun. Now growing impatient and grabbing her other fan from her bag, she would stand properly in the center of the clearing. The moon would bathe the tigress in a gentle light as she did so as she scanned the trees and her surroundings with caution."Alright, show yourself...Whoever you are,"Tsuki called out softly but firmly, her tail swaying lightly and ears twitching a little as she waited for a reply.

Escalation. It seems not only was it a popular ideal due to the state of Remnant at the moment, but also because of the process that Beacon Academy was going about this. He wasn’t even a student who attended his first day of class, but he was given the opportunity of extra credit. A head start? Usien couldn’t possibly turn it down. He wouldn’t know how to Say ‘No’ anyways. How would Usien fair in this battle? He certainly had the disadvantage.
Setting out on his journey to the location, he would notice that the darkness was being pierced by the bright moonlight above. It’s piercing glow had no such obstruction as the sky was bare of any clouds. It seemed like a scene from some old werewolf tail, but there would be no fighting of a nemesis. Instead, he would be doing battle with a comrade with the compensation being a credit. Usien hated fighting. He disliked it, but was one that would do it if he had to. Would his opponent push hi m to that edge?
He made sure to wear his regular clothing attire, his spider limbs still wrapped up and underneath his clothes, his idea to play up the fact he was a human. This was not to trick his opponent, but merely more of a habit stemmed from an emotional time in his past. His Venom’s bite rested quietly behind his back, just above his buttocks. A sigh releasing from his lips in a slight puff of smoke thanks to the chill of the night. This forest area was chosen for a reason, but Usien couldn’t figure out why not? Also, why was it at night? Was it because he was a faunus? Was this just more underhanded racism? Or was it because the administration wanted to test something? This would be perfect having limited vision, which would limit some of his weaknesses, but that also a double edge sword. How could one fight without confrontation? Without looking at their opponent!? IMPOSSIBLE! If anyone ever could find out, he would love to know.
The jacket of jean material was going to have to be discarded. Even though it helps keep his body shielded from the chill of the night, if he truly was in for a fight, he would need much ability to move his body as he could. The jacket was thrown to the side in a bush, the rustle of botany surely enough to set the opposing faunus off. He was coming. Slowly but surely the scroll was guiding him to the spot and within a few moments, he would appear almost as if he was answering Tsuki’s call out. Did she always know he was there? Fear struck over him intensively as he came into the clearing, the moonlight now a spotlight on the two. However, who would make the first move in their dance!
His eyes grew wide, as a blush came over his face looking at his opponent. It wasn’t super bad to where he would stutter since he had 350mg of caffeine already and she wasn’t revealing or anything that would of made this a very short afternoon. Oh no!..w..w.why me..Why?!...I had to be paired up with a girl…This school h-h-hates me Usien thought to himself as he swallowed hard. This was not going to be good. “U….Uuu…U-Uh…I’m here” He finally answered, replying to her question. The match already started, and he felt drained!

Tsukiko's ears would twitch as she would be alerted to the rustle of a bush. Her eyes glared before relaxing to calm as she would turn towards the sound before she would look to see who would approach. A human...? Seeing the red on this human's face, she would relax a bit, though she would not underestimate him. Even humans could be dangerous in a fight. Though as she observed him, she did not think him ready for a fight.
The tigress would tilt her head slightly, her fans relaxed at her sides as she really looked at him. He was tall. Damn tall people! She only stood at 5 feet, 3 inches. This observation put her in a huff and made her pout a little."Well, nothing we can do about that,"the tigress reprimanded herself before her icy-blue eyes looked up to meet the stammering young man's green ones. She would fold up her fans and put them back in her purse."Welcome,"Tsuki greeted with a kind smile.
He seemed like a nervous wreck, but it gave her a bit of ease. Her weapons put away for now, she would calmly make her way across the moonlit clearing. Intending no harm, she would stop about ten paces from him. Her tail swayed slowly from side to side as she paused and held out her hand."Miya Tsukiko Tora, Captain of Team Terror. Who are you,"Miya greeted formally with a bow of her head after introducing herself and would look up to him calmly."This shall be interesting..."the tigress thought to herself.

Confrontation. They didn't start with swings, but with stares. She probably was wondering what was wrong with him. Why wasn't he into this? Didn't you have to sign up for extra credit? He didn't sign up for s**t. Or did he? He could feel himself being observed, the spider limbs that were tightly wrapped and hidden tingling, wanting to at least stretch their joints. He wasn't going to allow for that though. No one could know that secret..if he could help it. He really didn't like this at all. Did she really have to stare like that?! (Of course she does. It a training spar! Duh Usien)
How was this tall boy scared and nervous over a short girl? Intriguing. Seeing her pout just put him in a more confused state. Did he do something wrong? Was he not in the right place? Was this not where he was suppose to be? His scroll stated otherwise. Maybe she figured he wouldn't be a challenge? That's not a wrong statement. Even Usien knew that. He had no confidence in this whatsoever. He would never guess she was pouting over a height difference! The feeling would soften, a smile coming across her face as she welcomed him and put up her fans. So, did that mean he didn't have to fight? That be a relief.
Usien watched as she took a few steps forward, and he naturally would take two steps backwards just out of instinct making the distance twelve paces. The moonlight shined strongly on the faunus, Usien now paying note to her tail. It was now registering she was a faunus. A real faunus... His nervousness would waver a few levels, a strange sense of relief coming over him. Maybe, action will come from this. "Usien..Usien Nakamura...by I go by Prince." he would respond before reaching into his pocket.Taking out a bottle, he would pop out a pill from the bottle and pop it into his mouth. Taking pills dry always sucked! Now, for the pill do it job. It was just a caffeine supplement. It was only a matter of time though~The clearing is a decent size. It's well lit by the moon as well. The trees and other parts of scenery are useful to hide in as well, but it not as effective as would be tonight....Not much around to affect with my semblance either. I guess,....it'll have to do though

The young faunus looked to her opponent as if he were strange when he had backed away while she approached him."Why is he...? Oooh, yeah, I'm currently seen as a threat,"the tigress reasoned out in her mind before she introduced herself. Her curious icy-blue eyes looked to him as she set her hand down, since it would seem he would not shake. As he introduced himself, she could not help but giggle.
A small smile played her lips as she would look him up and down. Her tail seeming to sway happily as she did so."Well, I won't call you a prince. It is a pleasure to meet you Usien,"Tsuki replied kindly, though a little teasing but not in a malicious way. Though he would get an odd look after he popped the pill. Not knowing what it was, she was concerned a little."What is the pill for,"Miya asked bluntly, not one to be subtle all the time.
Observing him, she would take a few steps back calmly, though careful never to have her back to him as she does so. Stopping about ten feet from him, she would then look to the moon and back to her opponent."Hmm, we are in a good spot for sparring...but where to begin,"the tigress pondered as her icy-blue eyes scanned her opponent once more. Her intense gaze would finally rest upon the young man's face as she awaited his next action; not sure who would make the first move.

Disrespectful? Maybe On purpose? He wasn't really trying to do that. Of course, he couldn't do much about it. No hand shake would occur here, but he was caught off guard by her giggle. Did he do something funny? He just stated his name. He couldn't help that Prince was nickname his family given him. Wasn't his fault. He just knew it was based off a singer his family liked. He didn't find it weird at all. It was going to be weird being called Usien, but considering he probably won't run much into her since she was part of team...Tera? Terror? Torro?!!! Curse his mind and this nervousness, he forgot what team she was on!
The teasing in her voice made him look down, his face going red. Why? It was just, how he was, but he would quickly lift it back up in a mild shock. He wasn't surprised she saw him take the pill, but he was more surprised that she asked about it. Many people didn't. her blunt questioning almost making him drop the bottle. "It's....caffeine... I need it to for reasons. But, that's not important now" he stated, the stuttering improving and his eyes looking at her gently. Usually take an hour or less for pills take the effect, BUT Usien was a whole different breed. It only took less than a minute or so. Feeling the caffeine in his veins, he was now at tier where he could fight competently but it wasn't going be anything outstanding. Not his very best.
"Let us have a good match. and Get er Done" He stated as he would slowly reach for one of his Venom Bites. Looking at the gun, the feel. He was focus enough now to know what his task was. He didn't want to, but it was a task needing to be done. Lazily taking the gun and raising it at Tsukiko, he would begin, blasting some shots her way. 3 to be exact.

The young woman nodded slightly as he told her they were caffeine pills. She didn't like them herself but she understood they could keep someone awake, so she would not question him any further. As she backed away, she would pull her fans from her bag and unfold them once more. The tigress would smile slightly to her opponent before frowning at the gun."Well, this should be fun."The tigress growled softly before throwing one of her bladed fans toward her new acquaintance before she would try to run for cover behind a tree.
This would take about eight paces before reaching it. Even if it was a risk it would not be for long. Whether she got shot or not, the thought thrilled her. Once behind the tree, she would get out her third fan just in case her thrown fan did not return to her for one reason or another. Her icy-blue eyes would scan the treetops for another move before she would chance a peek around."Not a bad shot,"Tsuki called out before sighing softly. Having no desire to use her semblance nor her bow and arrows quite yet.

Well, this was an interesting dilemma, seems she was not as ranged as one would expect. Usien could totally use that for his advantage. Problem was, he wasn't at that caffeine intake where he was all the way there. So, certain situations and exploits were going to go unpunished. With the fan, he could of shot at it to knock off its trajectory and then shot at the Tigress. However, he would do the foolish thing and dodge the bladed fan by short dashing to the left. With the short dash, his eyes would unlock from the Tigress, her retreat fully successful and effective. [i]Hmmm. This really what I going to be doing with my life. for now on....U.Usien..
His thoughts were clouded, but that was to be expected. Nothing was stopping her fan from returning back to her. His mind focused back on the fight from drifting onto future stuff thanks to her compliment about his shots. Did he hit her? he wasn't sure, but considering the amount of shots he did. It wasn't anything major. Dodging bullets were more common in this universe. So was getting smacked by giant evil creatures. Gotta love RWBY. Mind back on the fight for now, he would start walking towards the source of the voice. He couldn't pin point it, but he got the general area. Shots would be sent out towards the bush area; shots to the tree, to the sides on each side of the tree. Even some in the treetops and the bushes near the ground. Hitting a need, he would reload, the cylinder rolling to a click before he waited for the next phase. Where was she? I should of ordered more coffee. Feeling vanilla

The fan having missing its target and feeling the strong pull would start on its way back towards the magnetic pull. Blades shown in the moonlight as it did, though it would be interrupted by the tree before falling."Damn, it didn't get him."The tigress cursed mentally as she heard the firing continue before hearing the thunk. It took her a second to realize what it might be. With a soft inhale, she would reason in her mind before trying to reach for her weapon from the other side of the tree.
This line of action had gotten her aura at her cheek grazed, which did not feel nice as she would retreat back to cover. Her fan retrieved, the young woman would sigh and patiently await that important sound. The click signaled his carton was done. She knew she didn't have long, so she thought quickly and, stealthily as she could, would make her way to the patch of moonlight before her. Tsuki stood a couple yards from Usien, holding out her hand light seemed to pool in it, take shape into a small...pine-cone-like shape? When it was formed, she would pull the pin and throw it to his area. Hearing the second click before attempting taking cover behind another tree.

The lack of caffeine was being a bane for him. He was just opening reloading without even trying to cover himself or anything. A noobish mistake but, considering he didn't fight much, it wasn't at all surprising. As his reload was complete, he would look up to see his opponent was near and coming at him. Nani!? She was finally coming for a close combat engagement? He could shoot her, but that be risky considering what she was trying to do and the reload time. She was quite quick. As he went for his blade for more close combat, he would stop with his hand on the sheath when he noticed she didn't get past a certain threshold of space. Why was that? "Huh?" he questioned as he watched the hard light pool into her hand. He had braced himself to be blasted, eyes closed. Yet, nothing happen! Opening his eyes and let his guard down, he would see the end of her retreating.
What..... He was seriously not reaching his potential here. He didn't even look down at the light grenade. Instead, he would suddenly see nothing but a flash of light which startled him, causing him to backspace. It was worse being a spider faunus so the light was extra sensitive. With his sight jacked, his eyes was struggling to adjust. His control over his body slipped. The spider limbs that were concealed would react by ripping through his shirt. Now, his spider limbs were revealed and Prince, he was having a mental breakdown. Even though she was a Faunus too, he still didn't want it to be known. !!!!!!!! He was yelling in his head. He was totally wide open at the moment.. Caffeine, I need caffeine! He yelled in his head now as his hands moved around trying find his pockets to get more pills.

Tsuki would wait patiently for the grenade to finish its assault on her current opponent. Her ears twitching at the sounds of distress he seemed to be making but she could not show concern; it would give him an opening she could not afford."Now."The tigress thought and stood. Bringing her two identical fans together by the guards, they would form a full moon in appearance. Her hand kept it secure by its center before she would step out, ready and threw it like a disk towards her now distressed adversary.
As the disk flew at Usien, the tiger faunus did not miss the legs that were now revealed through rags of shirt."Wow...this shall be interest."The young woman understood why some faunus hid their appearances, but she herself refused to do so. The appearance of the spider legs did not disturb her though. Icy-blue eyes would focus on the task at hand as her right hand, now free of the fan, would gain a soft glow and take on a different shape of moonlight."Here goes nothing."She thought as the young fighter would charger, haladie in hand, she would attempt to go for a straight strike. Whether he would recover in time or not, she wasn't sure.

This was certainly turning into a distressing factor. This was for sure. What would come out of his invulnerability was the question. Her choice of attack was to throw the blades! The full moon would aim for his chest. He was still in great distress, his hands still trying find the pills. His sight was returning to him bit by bit. The moon blade didn't hit him in the chest though, the distressing faunus would end up in his distress, having the moon blade slamming into two of his spider arms. With his spider arms flailing everywhere, they acted as a shield for the chest but with sacrifice to damage to the limbs. Since he was caught off guard, a mild cut would be on each one. Nursing and fist aid would fix that surely and it wouldn't of done much if he had his aura up. However, this did trigger something. His eyes grew wide as he looked at his spider arms and their now bleeding state. Was.... was this really happening? He would question. Was he being attacked again? By a faunus no doubt!? His mentality was changing. Remembering back were his spider arms were cut off. Tsuki was no longer a training partner. She was seen as a risk to his life..
Clutching his arms around his body again, he would look towards Tsuki, her movement caught as she was within 2 feet from him. Reacting, he wouldn't try to run or do some flashy dodge. He would instead go for a more interesting game. Drawing his gun, finger would pull on the trigger, shoot right as Tsuki would be in striking distance. He would be fine taking a stab in exchange for a few holes in Tsuki. Four shots aimed at her chest. What would she do? Would she play the game of chicken? Would she try get away? Usien was now in survival mode. He could of drew his sword, but the the thought of this being just a spar. Vanished.

Tsuki's icy-blue eyes would scan her opponent's actions as she had been charging towards him. Seeing the gun aimed at her chest, she growled softly."Dammit."The tigress cursed mentally before deciding to dodge swiftly towards his left."That was too close."The young woman thought as she would strike with the haladie's blade at his side before continuing behind him as a means distract him.
Should he turn around, she would go for another strike. Should he try to grapple her, she would try to resist. It would all depend on what he decided to do next. As he was starting to take this more seriously."He needs to calm down, but how..."She pondered to herself.

She wasn't going to be getting away that easily. He wouldn't be able to stop her from dodging his shots, but he would be able to make up for the situation. As she changed her position to dodge and cut Usien, he would pivot on his left leg, his aura defending him and taking most of the damage. As he pivoted 180 degrees like a basketball player, he would be aiming to shoot straight for the back of Tsuki aiming towards the midsection where spinal cord was. With that, he fired off a few more rounds. Considering Tsuki's intentions, the shots wouldn't be towards her back, but she be in for a nasty surprise once she turn around for another strike. Luckily, since he hadn't even used his semblance yet, his aura wasn't depleted as much allowing for him to make such a risky move. When would he use it though? That was the real question.
