archangel_honor_bound * the lilting tune of a one-stringed Japanese guitar being gently strummed echoes softly across the moonlit plains. A rustle of wind blows a ripple across the endless expanse of waist high brown grasses. A lone man sits comfortably upon a large bouder at the edge of the treeline, slowly, methodically strumming his delicate instrument, while an enourmous thousand pound white tiger rested at the left side of the boulder, sleepily resting her large feline head upon her enourmous paws. Her long slender tail bobbed around nervously, even as she rested basking in the moonlight. The man wore a tattered travel-worn kimono that was caked with dirt and stained by splotched of blood in places. His silky waist length silver hair blew about wildly in the wind as he strummed his guitar. leaning up against the base of the boulder was an ornate ivory katana withe beautiful gold leaf running the length of the blade. everything form the dragon head shaped pommel to the ornamental engraved symbol of the dragon at its center gave the impression that the delicate katan wasn't even meant for combat. Arch continued to strum his instrument, completely absorbed in the delicate music he created. * Ryukku stood silently in the waist height plains which was only lit up by the moonlight. Elegant strands of orange red hair whipped around as the wind blew, gently caressing her soft features. Slowly she turned around at the sound of beautiful music being played. Narrowing her vivid amethyst eyes, of course it was none other than Arch himself playing away at his instrument with his companion at his side. A small smile played across her lips striding gracefully through the brown lengthy grass. Only stopping a few feet away she took an orthodox stance; her left foot took the lead while the opposite was left behind. She brought of her open hands up while keeping her focus locked onto Arch's torso area. For now she planned to work with hand to hand, but if all fails she had her trusty katana sheathed at her side. Her attire was ordinary and simple; black kimono and hakama pants with a faded white sash around her waist. In preparation for the upcoming battle, she concentrated deeply on her ki attempting to control it. Her fiery aura radiated from her though to those who are able to sense it would classify her spiritual powers as 'weak'. Although this was not the case, Ryukku simply contained her energy for much more useful abilities. This containment of energy may in turn give the opponent the thought that Ryukku was a pushover. Thus would leave them with their guard down. With Arch though, she knew he wouldn't judge a fighter due to their appearance. After a few sessions of deep inhaling and exhaling, Ryukku giggled softly. " Arch, lovely tune you carry but this here is a battle. Prepare yourself."

Thoughts about him rans through her mind such as ' Is he ever gonna stop playing?' and ' Is he even taking me seriously?' Ryukku's stance dropped slightly as she gritted her teeth together making a low but aggressive growl. Her figure instantly glowed a deep yellow color now. While Arch was still yapping away, she took the opportunity to strike. Kicking off from the ground she stepped forward with her right pivoting upon her left to provide momentum. The sealed energy contributed to her speed as well. Ryukku rushed through the landscape and towards Arch in no time she was right beside him just as he spoke " Lets do this." A wide sinister grin was plastered on her face, adrenaline raging through her veins. She hastly brought her right leg up slightly in a low kick to his knees. If it had connected that leg would have been immobile from the attack. If only... if only that attack wasn't fake. The low kick was a feint; a move to distract her opponent in dropping his guard to his legs. Swiftly she'd bring her right leg up higher and kick out in a roundhouse kick. She attempted to hit his jaw with the instep.

((Yes, yes, whatever you say.....))
:: A blinding red light shines violently in the sky as Kanna lands from the sky, her wings flapping softly. She held her weapon in her hand tightly, the cross burned flames from it until it looked like a sword like light turning completley solid.::

Oni stood alone, his swords at his waist, and the wind rustled his hair. "Let's begin." He said calmly.

Aeris simply placed her hands together, after sheathing her sword. The wind in the arena slowly began to gain speed. Her eyes were closed. She was facing the other woman. That would be her primary target.

Aeris ran at Kanna, her hands flopping behind her. In her wake was a small gust of wind, following her movements. As she approached Kanna she double hopped, once to the left and then again to the right, and sent an uppercut to Kanna's chin, the now powerful gust of wind soon to follow.

Oni took several steps back, simply watching this battle. "The enemy of my enemy," He said, his voice trailing off. He figured he'd let them beat the crap out of each other for a few minutes. This way, they'd both be weakened when he entered, not to mention he'd gain an advantage by viewing their abilities and capabilities.
Oni let darkness somewhat cloak his body. He was still visible, though only to a trained eye. The darkness would ward off a person's eye. Even if they knew where he was, they would simply look past it without realizing anything.

Aeris simply side stepped, and a circle of dust blew away from her feet, and then a small stone. With a push against the ground she was airbourne. And she used the gusts of wind as a balancing spots, so she could stay airbourne for long periods of time. But that wasn't what she wanted to do. "Now where did he go?" She said, while she was in the air. As she went higher she began to spin, pulling the wind currents around her body, to create a cyclone type movement. As she spun fastr she pulled more wind currents to her, disrupting the natural flow. Her body began to stop moving, but by using the disrupted flor she could keep the tornado spinning without her own body having to be part of it.
With a quick and sudden dive, the tornado and Aeris were going down, straight at Kanna, whose sword had missed Aeris. As the approached the tornado seemed to dissapear, the energy entering her body. A small electrical current began to spark out on the end of her hands, and the wind soon followed. Her signature move. Hands of the storm. She pulled his right fist up, and punched down towards Kanna's lower back.
((Mind you, electricity not only causes shocks, but heat. And the wind is spinning at 200+mph, so it will hurt. I recomend trying to dodge.See page 51 for referance.))
