Kaede sat atop the rim of the fence, her slender hands resting casually in her lap. At the moment, her cloak was discarded, and her golden eyes flashed without contempt in the dim heat of Suna's desert sun. With a sigh, she reached up and pushed some hair from the back of her dampened neck, stuck there uncomfortably by this unfamiliar heat. She couldn't remember it every being so warm in Kumo.
In her indolence of this day, she realized that she really was quite bored. And though she hated to admit it, she longed for a good fight…

Santomoro had been walking that day with his straw hat on and saw a girl sitting on a fence she seemed eager to fight He looked at her and around he smiled and said "excuse me I was wondering do you wish to spar I havnt had a good spar in a long while so would you care to?"he hid his eyes from her and waited for her to respond.

Kaede looked up to a voice spoken out of the heat. She could not see much of his face due to the hat obscuring his features, but he was a ninja, she knew.
This was confirmed when he asked her for a spar.
A trouble-maker, huh? she thought to herself, the corner of her mouth pulling up in a slight grin of amusement.
"As a matter of fact," she said, leaping down with leonine grace, "I would enjoy a quick fight."
She cocked her head teasingly to the side. "Your move." |

Kaede's eyes moved quickly over the revealed face of this Santomoro of Konoha. He was decent, she decided, and appeared with a worthy physique.
"My name is Kaede," she said. "As of where I come from..." She looked warily to the ground at her feet. "That's my business."
Lifting her eyes to face the boy again, she brought her hand conspicuously to the loose belt at her side, about which she carried her necessary weapons. With a sound like sliding steel, she unclasped a single kunai and let it slip lovingly into the palm of her hand.
"We'll start slow, okay?"
Then with a visible flick of the wrist, Kaede sent the kunai hurling with magnetic force at Santomoro, her eyes locked curiously with his. |

Kaede almost giggled with pleasure as she watched the boy deflect her measely attack with the flash of a thin blade that was a sword.
Santomoro replaced the weapon on his back with the shadow of a smile playing across his face.
Suddenly, with a speed unspeculated of her opponent, the ninja came at her from an unfamiliar stance, and sped up with an even more strange motive. He planned to attack at close-range.
Perfect, then.
Following his eyes to a target behind her leg, Kaede made a stealthy turn sideways and avoided the beginning hit.
"I don't look that measely, do I?" |

He smiled and hit the ground using it as a spring to jump back and kick her like a muel "no but you were foolish enough to alow me to get with in close range"he spun as he had booth legs straight to cause him to gain speed and force he had his hands still in a deffensive stance but his legs were in a attack form he had varried the style to make it more confussing.

(OOC: Santi, could you maybe use punctuation when you type? It's getting confusing to read your posts. ^^)
Kaede barely had time to follow the movement as Santomoro both dropped and sprung from the ground in what must have been under a second.
Acting purely out of reflex, she brought her arms up in a defensive cross across her chest, Santomoro's spinning kick landing true, but mute on Kaede's makeshift defenses. She stumbled back violently from the impact, tossing her hair impatiently as she rocked to a stop. Never had she been caught so off-guard before so early. Not unless she was fighting Nori, anyway.
"Foolish, my foot," she said in a muffled undertone.
Moving her hair from her neck again, Kaede made the decision to strike back for real. Leaping forward, she curled her right first into a hard knot, swiping it in a horizontal arc at Santomoro's face.
But she aimed to miss.
Just at the moment in which her hand would have made contact, she bent her body sharply and brought up her left leg in a speedy side-kick, this time aimed specifically for Santomoro's chest. |

Santomoro took the kick and skid back. He saw her form and smiled "nice kick"he forced some chakra into his palm.He steaied his breathing she had hit him in his soloplexi knocking out his wind.He looked at her then moved aroud the feild and came from behind and tried to hit her in the back with another palm strike.

Kaede bowed at the compliment.
"You're not so bad yourself, kid."
But Santomoro was already on the move.
He'd phased behind her again. Kaede spun a 180 with a start and immediately crouched ready into the stance taught to her by Nori: firm, steady, her left hand outstretched open and ready for attack.
With this hand she motioned and slapped away the enemy punch, an odd metallic burst pinching her wrist as she did so, probably as a result of Santomoro's chakra.
But she knew better than to expect just this from her opponent. Surely he had more up his sleeve than just a pair of arms...

He smiled his trap had worked.He had ment for her to block his attack he had wanted to attach a chakra string.He pulled the string and pulled her towards him and got ready to side kick her.He knew that she could just as easily use the strings but it was a risk he was willing to take.

Kaede's stomach lurched unpleasantly as another smug smile spread across Santomoro's face.
Crap!
And then she was shuttling towards him against her will, pulled awkwardly by the joints of her body, which all seemed to buzz with some sort of outside power.
It was chakra.
Pieces of Santomoro's strategic puzzle were finally beginning to place themselves on the board. Chakra strings. It was the only explanation for movement like this.
With a pang of regrettable annoyance, Kaede snarled at the fact that she was not thoroughly trained in the art of the chakra string. She had never tried forming one before, nor did she have the time to experiment now. Her brain throbbed at light speed as she was yanked closer and closer to her foe, his kick already prepared.
She racked her brain for any appropriate jutsu. Her clan specialized in anything dealing with energy or the manipulation of the human body and spirit as a whole. She knew much about all things dealing with pain and relief, of what caused it, and what kept it at bay.
At last, with only a few inches between her and Santomoro's descending kick, Kaede held out her hands, trying to make contact with the hit, and called out with frustration: "Chakra Kyuushuu!"
NOTE: Chakra Kyuushuu: "Energy Obsorbtion" - Appearance: Chapter 67
Used By: Akado Yoroi
Type: Taijutsu
Description: This jutsu allows the user to absorb the opponents chakra, thus draining their energy - and strength. It is used from the palm of the hand, and appears as a tiny chakra flame around the fist. |

He saw the jutsu and knew he would have to react quickly. He jumped still holding the chakra strings over her he then spun and used the spin to cause her to spin he then broke the strings sending her flying. He thought to himself 'that was to close I should have known better' he jumped around for a bit thinking it struck him he fliped back wards and formed a hand sign he shouted "water style black rain jutsu" this jutsu covered the feild in what appeared to be rain but was really oil and with the heat of the sun the oil exploded

Kaede's chakra returned with a pulse as she felt the sudden abandonment of the chakra strings, Santomoro having spun out of the hold only a split second too soon. She twirled away in the opposite direction, now, her feet skidding about on the sandy earth as the struggled to maintain herself.
She finally bent and slid to a complete stop, backwards on her knees. She grabbed another kunai for protection, then looked up as Santomoro prepared a certain jutsu...
In a sickening splash of inky black, a rain of sorts began to tumble from the sky.
What the heck?
Kaede leapt to her feet as the first drizzles fell to the earth. They exploded almost instantaneously. Terrified as more liquid fell, Kaede realized again too late that she did not know anything of how to stop this. She knew no powerful earth-based attacks to counter the aqueous base of Santomoro's jutsu.
In a dizzy and almost reckless frenzy, Kaede made a dashing sprint towards Santomoro, luckily dodging the oily raindrops as they fell and lit around her. The smell was just awful, and the earth shook with the force of the explosions.
Another attempt: "Chakra Kyuushuu!" And the icy glow that was her fist sped heavily towards her opponent. |
