Welcome to Gaia! ::

*braces himself for the hit, which sends him flying. He then stretches out his hands and grabs the ground, pushing off, doing a flip and lands on his feet facing arch, but slides a few feet further back due to the momentum* "Ow, that hurt!"
*lowers himself to the ground and sprints towards arch, then attempts to kick arch's feet out from under him while bringing his elbow down on archs chest, pummeling him into the ground, then jumps back, waiting for arch to react (assuming i even managed to trip you, of course wink )

*the kick lands directly on my face, leaving a slight imprint of a foot(sandal?) on my face. After being knocked to the ground i instantly roll backwards and get up onto my feet, thn proceed to reach out and grab your arm.*

hey Noroi ^^

*walks in, the east wind at my back, blowing whitish pink cherry blossom petals in through the door past me, my long silver hair being blown into the wind carelessly, as I slowly, methodically step into the room, clutching my assortment of blades.*

thanks tamashii, glad you could help

*stands still, solemly in the center of the arena, his whitish silver hair dancing lazily in the wind as his old, and tattereed Kimono played in hte wind, dancing about in it. the mans eyes were hidden below the wide brim of a bamboo hat, hiding his crimson red, tumoultous burning eyes. he stood rigidly almost rooted to the spot with his left hand was wrapped around the golden dragon-shaped pommel of a gleaming white Katana in his midnight black sash the beautifully adorned blade had ornate gold leaf that played about the entre length of the ivory white sheathe, and a golden dragon engraved into the middle of the blade's sheathe was the only dignature along the flawless piece of lethal beautiful art that was the blade. the man stood anxiously, yet calmly and patiently waiting for his opponnent. unmoved by the now powerful gusts of wind that blew by his weather-worn face, and tempted to blow his hat right off of the man's head. his breath metered and controlled, he appeared as a Sentinel to all who wuld have seen him, like a statue, he solemly stayed.*

*slowly, as if just recently acknkwleging her prescense the man turned and stepped close to her in the center of the arena, his wooden, open toed andals making not the slightest noise as he slowly, meteredly, methodically stepped up to her, the only sound was of the three beautiful blades clanging softly together as he walked. on the right side of his body, held in place within his worn and tattered Obi was the Petalchaser. The long, white ornate blade that accompanied him at all times. the beautiful sheathe was a work of art, that would catch the eye of all onlookers as he passed. it almost looked as if it weren't meant for actual combat due to the ornate sheathe that it rested in. below that sword, was a slightly shorter sheathe. This one much different, yet oddly similar to the other blade, was a beautiful saphirre colored sheathe, down the front leading edge, and wrapping over and around the tip of the sheathe, ran an ornate gold leaf. the sheathe's Suimune's glittering Saphirre sheathe glittered as if made of an uncountable number different, equally beautiful gemstones crushed down into almost dust. it had thousands of facets along the surprisingly smooth sheathe that ran all the way up to the golden dragon-shaped ppommel of the blade that was held diagonally upward, crossing over slightly into the man's stomach, putting it easily at hand. on the opposite side was a single other katana. this blade, equally as beautiful as the others, looked exactly as the Suimune in every way, length, texture, except that this bladewas a fiery ruby red. simply by looking at the blade, you could tell the fiery spirit within, almost daring someone to pullit from its place of rest, this, the Kasamune, was the sister blade of the Suimune.

slowly, the man inched toward his opponnent, and a mere four feet away from her he stopped, and ridgidly put his feet together, and bowed low to her, but still keeping his fiery red eyes locked on the girl. As he came back up form the bow, he kept his body erect, the only part of him moving around, was his hair sitl swaying, almost defiantly in the wind.*

I am sorry, but in your own interest *he began keeping his face stone still and unmovededly.*

I must defeat you

*even standing still, he was completely prepared for battle, slowly, his right hand reached for, and wrapped around the golden dragon-shaped pommel of the Petalchaser, though he didn t draw it, with his thumb placed against the gleaming gold hand gaurd of the blade and pushed against it gently, the sword singing as it revealed two inches of the gleaming white katana*

*as she approached, Arch took one carful step back, his movements in perfect synch,he drew the Magnificent gleaming white Petalchaser from its sheathe in one fluid move. the beautiful white blade erupted frtom its sheathe as he crouched low, gaining his balance and using the retreat step to gain some room. Attacking from the sheathe in the Iaiado attack. Attacking horizontally towards her, the two blades intercepted, with a loud cling, a small flash could be seen, and almost felt as the two blades collided. the Iaiado strike's higher speed and power easily knocked her blade aside, due to the reaction of the sheathe and blade, and without following through the strike,the blade stayed forward and in the same place it had struck against hers, and then Arch, bending his knees to keep his balance, advanced with one step as h brought the blade parrallel to the ground, andacross in front of his face, where he grasped the pommel with both hands, and slashed horizontally towards Ryukku's chest, devoting his entire body into the strike, he lunged forward powerfully as he swung from her right abdomen to her left.*

Both blades collided against each other, a few sparks few as Ryukku tried to keep Arch''s blade from knocking her out. Seeing that she couldn''t with stand the blow, Ryukku jumped back a few feet. She swung her blade to the side as she then reached for wakizashi. Swiftly she drew out the blade just as Arch made his next move. Placing the sho parallel against her forearm, she struck out blocking his horizontal slash. Ryukku then stepped forward as she twirling her katana. She slashed out with the blade horizontally, attempting to strike him against his mid section.
