Ryugi Kazamaru xXx_AlchemY_xXx Allen cut him off mid sentence and said "Yes." already knowing what he was going to say before hand. Still yet he had his gladius and it's matching shield brandished, and his eyes were still glowing brightly, giving off whisps of their blueish white energy. Very well then. I shall allow you the first move.He shiethed his sword on his back, the device clamping around the metal of the weapon to hold it in place. He then cracked his knuckles, shook himself out, and took up a basic pose with his arms crossed against his chest. Allen closed their distance with a fleeted run, protecting his torso with the shield as he moved to drive the very point of the blade at the man with his right hand in a downward leaping stab aimed directly between the dragon's neck and shoulder. After wards he twisted his body ready to produce a spinning side kick to where ever the man would dodge.

Katia was suddenlly lifted off the ground, two large, meter long scimitar like swords slamming into the ground propelling her upward, the chains attatched to them walking her towards the edge of the stadium, where an audiene would normally be if a real match had been taking place. Her feet touched down daintily onto the first row of seats. She sat down now, letting Ares talk to Chronos about a possible temporary partnership. This would make the tournament alot easier to win, but as for now, she had only Ares to help her.

xXx_AlchemY_xXx Allen closed their distance with a fleeted run, protecting his torso with the shield as he moved to drive the very point of the blade at the man with his right hand in a downward leaping stab aimed directly between the dragon's neck and shoulder. After wards he twisted his body ready to produce a spinning side kick to where ever the man would dodge. Ryugi was, first and foremost, a swordfighter. And as such, he had taken great lengths to defend himself from bladed weaponry. As the man dashed in attempting a stab, which would require a foreward extension of the arm, Ryugi's gloved hand sped upwards from its crossed position, the metal plate across the back of his gloved hand neatly hitting the blade and simply moving it out of harm's way. At the same time, Ryugi's right leg was rising up towards his chest, and as metal hit metal, a resounding CLANG would be heard as Ryugi's tough boot slammed into the shield being carried by his opponent. The shield wouldn't be damaged, unless it was wood and even then it would only be slightly cracked, but what Ryugi was REALLY aiming for was to smash the man's foreward moving body into his now non-moving shield. THAT would provide a painful hit to the man simply due to the momentum his body carried, not to mention the force of Ryugi's kick. Obviously if the man's shield slammed into his body, that would thwart any attempts at kicking.

Shouyin The punyo [butt end strike] was blocked, his hand trapped, and two new attacks were coming in. Yet Shouyin grinned, hardly doing anything 'sides tilting his head to the right as the cane strike came in. Knives' foot would smack the jeans fabric, eventually connecting with a skin much harder then the average flesh underneath. One sacrifice would have to be made for our hero's eventual victory, as the cane came down upon the left side of the base of Shouyin's neck, and that was the young man would have to reveal a certain secret of his.
The cane would strike against stone as well, however the collar of Shou's t-shirt failed to hide the fact that this 'skin' hadn't been there before. It'd formed, the minerals seeping out from underneath his normal flesh and taking shape, making a protective second skin made up of some very peculiar granite. And through the filter of night this revealed manner of defense, along with Shouyin's teeth bared in a vampiric, though entirely fangless smile, would be simply picture perfect.
With one foot kicking, one hand holding the cane and striking, and another holding back Shou's stone right fist, Knives was a little preoccupied, and sparing no time at all, the half-golem's left hand would dart forwards and wrap around his opponent's throat. 'Course Knives might just release Shou's right hand and try to intercept the choke, but then he was left open to an attack from the freed hand, and it was doubted that this man had the handspeed necessary to dance back and forth, continuously defending against imminent assaults.
"So..." These were all fair assumptions on Shouyin's part, but the speed and fluidity of a Knives in combat was not to be underestimated. Shouyin had his stone, but this one also had a few tricks up his sleeve, none of which he had revealed as of yet. After successfully stopping the force of Shouyin's uppercut, which is all he had intended to do there with his free hand, he merely had to move his palm up a few inches before his neck to misdirect the hand going for the choke, swatting that hand away to his left. Knives turned his body inward to the left slightly, then, which meant that both of Shouyin's hands were off to Knives's left, this placement perhaps disrupting Shouyin's equilibrium and flow while making it a bit easier for Knives to follow both upper limbs and block. His left foot was balanced, his sandals flexible enough to allow him to stand on his toes throughout the duration of the bout, but after throwing the snap-kick he went immediately into another offensive. Something more from Shouyin's eskrima strick was to be expected, but in the meantime, Shouyin would have to deal with something more from Knives. Bruce Lee was more than capable of throwing a series of kicks that the untrained eye could easily miss or mistake for one, and so could other trained melee fighters, including Knives. After the snap-kick naturally bounced off of or retracted from Shouyin's thigh, he unbent the knee again and snapped another kick from the knee joint at Shouyin's groin, literally within the same second of the first kick being thrown. While Knives was above drawing blood from this man by cutting him with the exposed blade within his cane, an opening was an opening. There was always a chance that Shouyin's stone permeated that area of his body, too, or that he was hard for another reason that Knives would prefer not to dwell on. After realizing that his cane strikes were mostly useless against this man, he quickly drew his right elbow back above his shoulder, with the point of the cane's blade aimed at Shouyin's chest like a spear. It seemed like he might be intending to impale the half-golem, but he had something else in mind, even as the oaken shaft began to vibrate in Knives's grasp.

Lady Sierra Her eys narrowed to slitted slats of obsidian and gold as she 'felt' where those thoughts of his were going. Freeing one of her hands from where she'd been massaging his back, she presses hee thumb and middle finger-tips together and then flicks his nose with a stinging touch.
"Don't you even consider walking that path Kyonuske." "......" He just continued smiling faintly, as the sizzling sounds from the skillet filled the room. I really wonder... just how much more do we have to deal with.. how much more till it's really over..."You probaly should let me use both hands for this... unless you plan on sleeping with me right in the kitchen." He grinned.

"Ehhhh! Letch! You haven't changed one bit!"
She laughs and presses a kiss to his lips before hoping down and wandering over to the bedside, looking at the barren piece of furniture in disdain. She kneels a moment and digs out a sweater, pulling it on over her tank top she crosses the room to the door, slipping on a pair of slippers.
"I'll be right back."
-----
She returns a few moments later with an armful of bedding and sets about making up the bed with fresh linens.
Once she finishes she pulls out a large duffel bag and starts inspecting her armour and equipment. It looked as if she'd be fighting tomorrow evening after all... So she'd best begin her preperations.
She sits cross legged on the bed and begins oiling her armour with a soft cloth, letting her mind wander as she worked.

He was mostly quiet as he cooked, having already noticed the dissaray nature of the bed in passing, but chose to remain quiet.
Probaly due from the pang of guil throbbing away at his heart right now. Would it do any good to spoil a reunion with "I slept with a pregnant woman, by the way"?
Probaly not...

Sierra herself hadn't slept with anyone... but Ra'kar had used her body so she didn't see it as being much better. It'd been preying on her sanity ever since she came too stripped and bound. She'd nearly snapped... but Ra'kar was going to have to try harder than that to shatter her.
She sensed simillar guilt from Vahn... and it made her feel sick to the stomach, but she said nothing. She'd let him talk to her on his own time... She had to wonder though, what he'd thought about the unmade bed. It wasn't like there were rumpled sheets... she'd incinerated everything when she freed herself. And she HAD slept outside the night before... Maybe it was her own guilt that made her worry he'd be suspicious of her. Still... she'd explain what she could... not that she was sure it'd help much.
She should've been stronger... better able to supress that underhanded b***h. She sat in silence, her hands still as a few tears streamed down her pale cheek.

With a soft click, he shut the stove off and backed away, reaching for the first plate.
"You know... I can "feel" your heart beat from here. I certaintly hope your not crying over a smudge int hat armour of yours."
He filled the plate with stir fry, before placing it down on the table and doing the same to the second plate.
"Come eat before it gets cold."

Ohh, so sorry Mr. C would be to Professor Vexic, because he didn't understand the attack at all. He even went so far as to make assumptions about it. The history of a vertical fisted punch would be written here but all that novelization isn't important. And the concept of a barrage of punches would be written here but all that novelization isn't important. What is important, is that when it came to matters of standup fighting, Mr. Crawley used a few Wing Chun techniques. And something interesting about that is.. WC techs are uncommited as long as he stays on balance. That being said... Ertai Vexic The left hand would slide forward perfectly...
The right arm would move as the left did... And both movements to the central line where their arms competeing for optimal position were cut off by Mr. Crawley's arms quickly switching to a Quan Sao formation with his right arm as a palm up block and the left arm in a wing arm block with the elbow up, arm down, palm facing out. This was done to keep Ertai's arms out of the center. Especially Mr. C's. It was also done to gain control over the center. Okay, after stopping Ertai's arms cold, Mr. Crawley was advancing again, this time his right arm shot out as an eyepoke with two fingers at Ertai's eyes. Then he went directly into the strait blast at Ertai with the left hand, a continuous barrage of rapid, alternating, vertical fisted punches up and down his opponent's centerline, being the head, chest, and abdomen. Vertical fisted so they could travel in a straight line at his opponent, typically being faster than horizontal fisted punches. "You're garbage."

She just stares at her hands, clenching them into fists... her nails making tiny crimson half-moons in her flesh as she can't bring herself to look at him. It wasn't a smudge in her armour... but the filth that had marred her body.

There was a soft clatter as he placed the plate down, and just stared at the ceiling for a bit.
"Hey...." Soft footfalls as he moved on over towards her, arms coming around from behind to grip her shoulders. "...you. What's up? Why so down kiddo?"
He leaned against her, his nose gently touching against her earlobe.

She turns so that she's on her thigh, leaning against him, arms wrapped around his neck tears soaking the front of his shirt as her shoulders shake softly.
He'd finally found his way back to her... If only he'd been a day earlier she wouldn't have been so ashamed to look at him. She wound't have felt so dirty...
"I--I-- I couldn't stop her--"
More tears.

"Hey, hey-- calm down already. Couldn't stop who?"
He stared at her, not feeling as sure and comfortable as he should have been... playing wetnurse and swimming chest deep in emotion was still a foriegn concept to him.
