She waited for her opponents attack. She needed to calm down, slow her breathing so that she could hear her opponents. At this point she could hear a great deal around her. She could smell a great deal around her. She could even hear the whirl of the wind as the blade came right at her. However, she needed to wait a little longer to find out where it was coming from, Enough time for it to get close. She moved only slightly to dodge the blade. " Thats a waste of-" Onishi was not did not pay the footsteps any mind until they passed into her field. Too close to use the blade, but she could still get the job done with the staff, bringing the back end to the ground at the last minute to block the blade, she used it to help her base as she went to deliver a round house kick to the enemies head. Her enemy was good. This was going to be a worthy battle indeed.

The kick sent Furanken flying to the side, though a brief movement before the blow managed to make contact with her caused the foot to meet her jaw rather than the upper-part of her head which seemed to be it's original target. She then rose up, taking several steps forward to retrieve her thrown cleaver, which was embedded in the dirt several feet away from where the kick had sent her.
"You arent half bad...What's your name?" She called, rubbing the spot where the blow had hit her. Surprisingly, her jaw remained in tact.
It was a common policy sometimes, to learn the name of one's opponent right? Or was that only in fights to the death?
No matter.
The girl would be expiriencing death shortly if Fura got any more chances to get up close. As an idea for another attack came to mind, Furanken smiled as she kneeled down, raised her fist, then slammed it down into the ground. A few moments later, the Kakuzu's hand burst from the earth directly beneath the blind girl, making a mad grab for her leg. From the wrist of the seemingly dismembered limb, black cords seemed to extend, beneath the ground...All the way back to Fura.

In the back Valkyrie nodded. She had noticed the stitching under the young girls cloths when she had first walked passed her. Now she knew for sure where she was from. She was a hidden waterfall ninja. Onishi may have bitten more than she could chew with this one. Still, it would be interesting to find out how she would take this challenge. There was no doubt that she would not back down.
"My name is Onishi Orimara. Who might you be?" That was all that Onishi said. Onishi heard dirt being turned overturned under her for about a foot and felt it for the last few inches. It was still only when hand broke ground that Onishi made her move. She allowed the hand to grab onto her foot before the blade on her staff changed positions and became more like a scythe than a spear. She used the momentum of the hand coming out of the ground to bring her foot up and and bring the hand a few inches off of the ground. She then sliced the tether from it. She was surprised, however, she was expecting to be slicing through bone. The material seemed, quite weaker than that. Still that would be the last time an attack like that would catch Onishi off guard. Onishi did another set of handsigns and suddenly the sun was covered with a black disk effetively making it even darker. That along with the fog would prove for an interesting combination to hurt sight.

The hand that, for the most part, Onishi had severed, weakly disappeared back beneath the ground like a frightened insect. Several minutes later, it came back to Fura, dangling weakly by one tendril that seemed very much ready to snap as well. This hand, as well as the hand it was connected to, withdrew into Fura's sleeve.
"Sutaina Furanken," She replied, more amused than disdained by the pain that now went through her body upon having the severed hand. Her eyes widened though, as darkness then descended upon them.
"How very interesting..." She cooed as she looked around, her sight already beginning to fail her. However, things got much more amusing. In fact...This almost made it seem like a hunt,
Now who was the predator? Who was the prey? The very idea made Furankan shudder with anticipation as ideas of death came to mind...And as the killer intent grew, she released bits of her chakra, causing an aura to form around her...However, this aura was almost indistinguishable, amongst the mist.

Sight hindered, now it was Onishi's time to attack. In the darkness, invisible, this was were her skills came into play. She moved slowly towards Fura, now after there tussle, here senses fine tuned to her, she did a pretty job of figuring out where she was. She also took one hand off of her staff and brought it to her side, taking out a windmill shuriken. She threw the blade about torso level, or atleast where she felt Fura's torso was after that kick gave her a good idea where her head was. Using that as a destraction, Onishi would throw three small shuriken, these with exploding tags on them to spots around her. She would use the explosions as cover to get close enough to Fura. If the windmill shuriken did not take her out, then eviceration would.

Once the darkness had descended, Furanken had severed her hand from her arm. Tucking the limb away within one of the coat's inner pockets, the Kakuzu allowed tendrils to slither forth from the stump, swaying...In appearence, it appeared no different than a more moribidly colored sea anemone.
Closing her eyes then, the Kakuzu allowed her other senses to take control. Unfortunately, in no way, were they as honed as Onishi's. However, she did hear the whirling of something flying through the air and an instant later, she opened her eyes wide and leapt to the side...Several moments to later.
The giant shuriken flew past her, but not without leaving a deep gash along her side. A moment later, the girl cursed loudly. However, it wasnt the wound that angered her...The shuriken had cut through her coat...Hercherished lab coat. Though she snapped back to attention upon hearing the whirling of more blades, and now knowing the general direction of where the attacks came from, she swung her tendril-ridden arm forward, effectively swatting off the smaller shuriken...Though she was oblivious to the seals attached.

The curse only helped Onishi to pinpoint her opponents position. As did the c***k of metal as she swatted away the smaller shuriken. That was not how she had expected that part to go no matter- An explosion rang out to her right. In fact it was three explosions but they went off so close together that it was easy to mistake the explosions for being together. That was when Onishi made her move, taking off her sandles to dampen the sound of her steps, Onishi sprinted towards Fura, off of her blind side, her staff ahead of her. When she got into striking distance, she went to drive her staff into Fura, side and her kidney. She watched used her senses to . . . I guess the word would be study the air currents to track Fura's movements, throwing a kunai blade at Fura's calf muscle as well.

The explosions disoriented Furanken further as the sudden booms of sound echoed tore through the area. A moment later however, she saw the faint outline of a form coming at her through the darkness, and with that, she brought up her tendril-arm, and the many black cords wrapped around it, effectively stopping the attack...Though the very tip of the blade found itself against Fura's skin.
The kunai however, was unexpected as the blade soon found it's point in her flesh, earning a wince from the blonde. However, a smile soon formed...
The aura was still present around the girl, and now that Onishi had come forth, the genjutsu would take effect. Her voice now a whisper, Furanken spoke:
"Operation."
((57))Quote: "Operation!" - By releasing her killer intent and chakra into the air, Furanken is able to conjure up an aura of dread around her that extends up to several feet all around her. Anyone caught within this aura becomes ensnared within her genjutsu in which the victim imagines themself being paralyzed and Furanken loom before them, followed by her jamming the scalpel into their skin.
However, this technique can be dispelled by any skilled shinobi with the proper techniques and will have no effect on those who have a greater killer intent than herself.

((Note to self, pick up genjutsu defense techniques))
Valkyrie and Ichigo, both illusionary masters, knew a genjutsu when they heard it and they knew that Onishi was in big trouble at this point. Valkyrie had her hands together and was about to release her from the genjutsu when Kengan placed a hand on her shoulder. "No, the three of us would have handled with her with ease. Any one of us could have taken her with noticeably more trouble. Onishi, however, wanted this fight. Lets see what she does to get out of this mess. IF her life is in danger than we act." Valkyrie simply nodded.
Onishi suddenly felt her body go numb as Fura spoke and the genjutsu took affect. She was not as well versed with genjutsus as Valkyrie and Ichigo were but she knew vaguely what was going on from what Valkyrie had taught her. It had to be because of what she had said. IT seemed nonsequitor at first, but it would make sense now. Now, she wished that she had listened more as she fell to the ground, her hand still gripping the staff. She could still hear and smell however she could not move. That was the problem.

((haha...I should do the same before I get caught in a similar situation...))
As she watched Onishi fall to the ground, Furanken's smile merely widened as she then kneeled down, though she winced slightly, due to the kunai. However, she chose to ignore it for now as she leveled her cleaver with the girl's neck, before she rose the heavy blade up.
Yet...She stopped, much to her own surprise. This was the coup de grace! The perfect chance to kill someone and get a free shot at a heart...Yet...The Kakuzu found herself unable to bring the blade down.
Several moments later however, Fura's genjutsu lost it's affect...Perhaps it was due to the loss of killer intent? Whatever the reason, Fura cared naught as she wrenched out the kunai, staring at it for several moments before aiming a light cut at the base of the girl's neck.
The pain should've been enough to bring the girl back to conciousness.

Valkyrie was relieved to hear Onishi's voice give a sharp inhale as she regained consciousness. Onishi's senses would take a moment to kick in. When they did she quickly rolled to the side and made it to her feet. Why she was not dead, she had no idea. However, she was learning a bit more about her opponent. This was going to be a harder fight than Onishi had imagined it would be. However, she knew that her opponent had removed at least one of her hands, that would weaken her taijutsu. Onishi's own muscles were beginning to loosen up, however, Onishi had no idea how she was supposed to pull off attack with taijutsu when she had to avoid that genjutsu. Still, it seemed that Fura would have little other tricks up her sleeve. The fact was that Onishi did not have very many either. She brought her fingers up to her lips and whistled hard. While she did that, with her other hand she brought the non bladed end of her staff and pointed it towards Fura and fired about a dozen senbon needles. She would like to see how her opponent would deal with an attack such like this coming at her. Especially with that ear spitting noise blurring her senses.

Fura's head felt like it was going to burst due to the high-pitched noise, though she seemed to grow used to the pain of what felt like a thousand needles digging into the very depths of her skull. No...'used' to it wasnt the proper term...Rather, she was able to get at least half of her mind off of the pain and focused on the battle, as hard as it was to keep that half concentrated.
As the senbon fired however, her eyes widened.
Now it was the perfect time to use it.
Snatching her coat, Fura removed it and tossed it to the side, revealing her black attire. There was movement seen on her back then as from one of the masks, a lump formed and something burst from within her skin. However, rather than having it leave her body, Fura kept it connected it to her partially. This was particularly due to the fact that it needed her heart, and she had no desire to divide it yet. So for now, it stuck out of her back, looming over her.
Smiling, she directed her finger towards the oncoming senbon.
"Gian."
A moment later, all she saw was a burst of black lightning as the attack fired from the mouth of the masked beast.

((Sorry, dozed off for a couple minutes))
Onishi learned quickly that she had not yet seen the all of her opponents techniques as the air pressure suddenly changed. She had to quickly dodge the black lightning technique. The senbon needles were easily deflected by the technique and Onishi's staff held only a few other tricks, she took this time to charge her opponent, noticing a slight change in air pressure that was made by the mask moving. Onishi threw three kunai knives once again with explosive tags ahead of her as she moved towards Fura. This fight needed to end quickly.

(('Tis okay...However...I think Imma retire for tonight as well. Tomorrow marks the first official day of Finals for moi.))
"Tch, I feel insulted by these petty tricks!" Fura shouted as she swung her tendril arm forward in the direction she heard the blades flying in, as wasting another Gian would've been a waste. Since it was her own heart supporting the beast, it was actually tiring to use the attack for now...When she grew stronger however, it would probably change. None the less, she caught each kunai, a respective tendril going through the loop as each tentacle began to twirl the kunai it held...However, there was something attached to the kunai that Fura had missed when she first snagged them in mid-air, though the 'mysterious flapping things' now had the Kakuzu's attention as she brought her tendrils in for closer examination.
She then realised what they were and gritted her teeth.
"s**t."
A moment later, she swung her arm, attempting to send the kunai flying off before they detonated. At that moment, her tendril beast wrapped it's arms around her, forming a bodily shield.

((I had my true finals over the last two weeks, now I have a couple of final projects to turn in and that is it for me.))
The tags would not be the kind that Fura had expected. They did explode all right, but they were smoke bombs, not incendiary explosives. Onishi would not have expected that idea to that worked so well. Onishi would run through the smoke, pulling yet another surprise out of her staff by unlocking it and sliding the back half of it off. this revealed a rather long handled katana that was hidden within the staff. Onishi charged in, grabing three more kunai blades from her pouch before, once getting close enough, attempting to stab Fura, just to the right of the tendril beast and throwing the kunai this time into the thigh of her other leg.
