Welcome to Gaia! ::

Letting out a huff of breath, Nobara unstrapped her bow from her back, bringing it down and holding it with her right hand. How annoying this boy was. "It's... Nobara. It's not that hard of a name, really." Cracking her knuckles, she took a few steps backward, then swiveling around completely. "I accept. Should we make it more interesting, and place a bet or something?" To be honest, Nobara hadn't fought anyone in a month or so, ever since she had that battle with Rachel.. and she was a bit rusty in the area, not to mention she had no idea what this guy's powers were... he could probably defeat her easily. Oh well. Battle wasn't her thing. She could win in words, but wouldn't get angry if she lost a battle of physical strength; after all, she knew she was weaker than the guy in front of her; it was a known fact. The only thing she could do now was try not to be killed.

Nobara yawned, and looked back at this guy. He was so simple. All he wanted to do was fight, it looked like that was all that was on his brain. How pathetic. "What are you, a ninja?" She said, looking at his kunai with an eyebrow raised. He had to be kidding. Rolling her eyes, Nobara got herself ready in a stance and brought an arrow to her side, locking it in the nocking position. "If I win, you tell me your name and why we keep running into eachother 'accidentally.' If I lose, you call me by that nickname for however long you want." She would probably lose this battle... oh well, it was worth a shot.

It appeared as if one could attack Nobara from any angle, piercing directly through her clothing, but it was actually protected by a very, VERY thin plate of sheet mail underneath her clothing, so that she wouldn't be hurt. There were quite a few vulnerable spots left on her, though... she'd have to use her agility to dodge his attacks. Eyes peering, she smirked and brought her bow out, sticking her tongue out. "You better be ready. I don't like to wait."

Almost as if she read his mind, Nobara resisted the urge to let out a laugh. What an idiot! He stood there, expecting her to just shoot away? She wasn't that one-track minded; she had a plan. Based on the conversations she had with the boy, he expected her to attack first, and he would hit the defensive side, then coming around to strike her... she would need to be pretty agile to dodge this guy; Nobara had never fought a ninja before. Why, for all she knew, he could come up behind her silently right now and stab her in the back; she wouldn't let that happen. As an archer, she had a keen sense of her surroundings. However it wasn't the time to let her thoughts wander.

Nobara stuck her tongue out and brought out three arrows, nocking them and such, ready to shoot, when she felt the same strange feeling in her gut that she had before when she was fighting the slime with Rachel. It was warm... it seemed to glow inside of her, illuminating like a candle until the entire front part of her arrow glowed red, suddenly combusting into flames. She shot these arrows off, but to her amazement, when they reached three yards within, they disappaered completely. Even Nobara didn't know where they went, her eyes widening, until she looked up. The arrows seemed to loom in a triangle for a moment, then shot down into the earth, the whizzing sound of the arrow clearly audible. In three points, symbolizing a triangle, they shot down before Austin, though not at him at all, just at the dirt. Nobara, however, was amazed she had done such a thing, and brought out a few more arrows, looking at them before nocking them onto her bow. Perhaps if she could just control it...

Austin saw this traingle, and assumed that it was part of an array trap of some sort. He leapt up into the air, meeting the arrows halfway in midair,and going all the way. to the ceiling. He reached out, pushing all of his chakra into the palm of his hand as he touched the ceiling. a second passed, but austin did not fall; instead, he clung to the ceiling by the palm of his hand as if it was duct taped there. He kicked up with his feet, and they attached to the ceiling too. he looked down on nobara, who was upside down from his eyes.
He was slightly surprised that she could do that with arrows. But not totally. The ace of spades burned red into austins hand. he gripped down on the kunai hard. He waited to see what she would do next.

Seiteki walked into the training hall and looked around at the place. It seemed this one wasn't near as popular as the other one, much less crowded so it was good for him. He watched the people train and then their were a few that were just there conversing with their friends. He wasn't sure what he would do here, but he was sure that there would be something. Then he saw a girl that was doing target practice with a gun. She seemed to be very good, hitting almost every target that came at her. He was never one to talk to new people but she seemed like a rather interesting person so he approached her but hung back a bit. "You're pretty good," he said, just loud enough for her to hear.

((And now I have to go gonk . I'm really sorry, but I guess you can post here and I will post when I get back. Happy rping.))

Seiteki lifted up his foot and pulled the bullet from the sole of his right shoe. He chuckled and he closely examined the bullet, noticing only slight signs of blood meaning that it only skimmed the sides of his foot. "It's alright," he muttered now that he didn't have to speak over the loud sounds of gunshots in the background. Apparently this had been a first time thing for her so he couldn't be upset or anything so he decided to act casual as if none of that had ever happened. "I'm Seiteki by the way," he said in his normal, soft voice.

Seiteki had thought that she was going to leave without another word to him. Usually it wouldn't bother him, he might even be relieved but he was curious about her. Nothing in her mind made much sense to him. Then her contact with him snapped him back to reality. He finally realized what had happened when they were almost to the floor. He moved one of his arms so that his forearm hit the ground to break his fall. Then he looked up at her and met her eyes. He smiled when he saw that her face had become a light shade of pink, it made her look rather cute actually. "Its okay. Everyone has their off days."

((Sorry it took so long.))
Seiteki chuckled and took her hand to assist him in gettingup. He didn't really use it to pull himself up, though, he just pushed up with his other hand and looked down at her when he was standing upright. At first he didn't intend to accept the proposition of going to the hotsprings with her but after she winked he gave in, he was a guy afterall. "Sure," he said softly.
