[1 vs. 1] Kankuro's Invitational #2

[paulfalcon]

(Yeah, I'm bored.... someone fight meh! XD)

Kankuro steps out into the open field and glances over towards the area in front of him. He relaxed his arms acrossed his chest and sighs. "So, does anyone feel like practice sparring with me or what? I'll try my best to not hurt anyone so badly." He stands in a relaxed pose and yawns, waiting.

[Akaoni]

((I WOULD have chosen my Monk, but she's busy at the moment, so... that's Vasiliki out, then.))

Vasiliki was bored... so very bored, and it was too early to turn to alcohol. She was sitting cross-legged, her back pressed against the arena wall with Spyro laying next to her. Her fiery-red eyes turned upwards when she heard someone request a sparr. Sure, why not.

Lazily, she got up to her feet, clutching her Naginata with one hand while stopping Spyro with her other. She turned her eyes towards him and winked. "I've got this."

She sauntered over to the male, and tapped him on the back of his shoulder.

"So, do you have the skills to back up that arrogant mouth of yours?" She asked, almost playfully from behind. She smirked somewhat, wondering what his reaction to her attire would be. If one thing ever derailed her opponants, it was her minimal-style clothing. Luckily enough, she didn't rely on just that... the reaction simply amused her.

[paulfalcon]

His eyes glanced nack at her, nothing but, his head had turned over to look at her. He glanced her up and down with his eyes before coming back to her eyes. "Well, you better hope that your pet beast will be able to hold me back." Kankuro replied as he turned over towards the one who challenged him. "Unless, you would like to see what I have to offer up close and personal."

Kankuro then turned his back from her and stepped back a few good paces, giving her the respected amount of space that would be expected for a duel. He slips his hands to his sword and shield and pulls them from their proper holdings and readied himself. He watched her closely as his arms rested to his sides. "Try keeping me entertained for a little while, ok?" He said with a smirk, waiting for her to ready herself.

[Akaoni]

At the bald guy's response, Vasiliki had to resist the urge to smack him right across the face. She didn't have too much of a problem with arrogance per se, it was simply the male ego that ticked her off from time to time. With a small sigh and a shake of her voluminous, dread-locked head, she slipped her had from her warm, bare waist and gripped the cool bar of her naginata.

Her stance evened out into a solid ready position, though her eyes were still played up by a careless smirk. She will start out alone, and if this piece of brawn turned out to be too much for her to handle, she'll call upon her pet. After all, she was not known for being honourable during battle.

With a provocative cock of her head, she beckoned him forward, strongly believing that a lady doesn't start a fight, but finishes it.

[paulfalcon]

He smirked a bit and slowly stepped forawrd, he usually wasn't the kind who would attack first in a duel. But, what a lady wants is what a lady wants. He slowly stepped closer towards her, looking to bide his time. However, such looking in plans changed as he quickly lept forward, breaking the distance between the two of them. Rather, he didn't come at her with his sword but, his shield, hopeing to ram into her chest with his shield.

[Akaoni]

Vasiliki got a little nervous when he took his first slow steps towards her. She knew what he was doing--and didn't like it. She was never really fond of this tactic, mainly because it usually worked on her. She tightened her fists around the metal bar of her weapon, and lowered her stance to grant stability, preparing herself to eat whatever attack came at her.

The carelessness in her eyes strained into focus as she waited for his attack. She nearly jumped when he broke into a charge, but upon noticing where, exactly she aimed, she managed to react quick enough to protect that area. His tactic would have worked, had he chosen another target... she happened to be very protective over her feminine parts.

Within that short time she had to react, she forced her weapon bewteen herself and the sheild with both hands, stunting the attack just enough so that it didn't touch her.

"You just HAD to aim there, didn't you..." She huffed as she forced the sheild further away from her, simultaneously shooting her foot out towards his currently unprotected groin, while keeping her weapon in a guard position infront of her.

[paulfalcon]

Before he was pushed back, he smirked a bit. "Eh, I don't mean anything by it... I am not trying to be a perv, either..." When he was pushed back, As he stumbled back, he wasn't able to block what was coming at him. His eyes widened as he felt the top of her foot slamming into his goods. "AUGH!" He grunted as he fell onto his knees and coughed "I figured I was going to get hit in the groin at least once during this duel but, why must it be the first blow? Women are evil..." He whined as he went down on all fours, looking like he was suffering in pain. Due to this, he is unable to attack.

[Akaoni]

Vasiliki knit her eyebrows together when Kankuro fell to the floor. Well, that was very anti-climatic. She sighed and slinked closer to him until she was standing right in front of him.

"Is that really all you have to offer?" She drawled, ramming her naginata into the ground in front of her, while sliding her hands up to the same level. She leaned forward slightly, leaning a good portion of her weight on the support of her weapon. Boredom made her lazy...

[paulfalcon]

He stayed there on all fours, looking to the ground, seeing her boots stepping up before him. He smirked a bit, not looking up to her as she leaned over him. Not saying a word, he sprang up at her. He was so close into her that if he really wanted to, he could lean forward a little and kiss her. As tempting as that was, he was more focused in ramming the hilt of his blade into her stomach. "No, just waiting for you to let your guard down like most over-confident people do..." he said with a smirk as he tries to strike her with the hilt of his sword.

[Akaoni]

Suddenly feeling Kankuro's breath on her lips threw Vasiliki off somewhat. She hardly caught his words before a blast of pain clouded her senses. She doubled over and grunted loudly, almost dropping her weapon in the process. Instead, however, she let one hand slide down the pole, while the other suddely thrust it up and pulled it back, releasing a cry as she tried to strike him in the fleshy part right below his rib cage with the metal bar. Shouting often made her forget about the pain.

[paulfalcon]

He smiled some as he heard her scream out from the harsh blow he landed on her. "Hmm... could of sworn I pulled that one... sorry about that.. eh?" He heard her scream out again, this time she was attacking. He managed to hold his shield up, keeping the metal bar from reaching it's attended target. He smirked a bit as he pushed her weapon back. With this opening he left for himself with his parry, he steps foreward with his left leg. He then spun around quickly, bring his right leg up along as he spun. As he spun half way, he stretched out his right leg. He swung hard with his leg, hopeing tp kick at her shoulder with the back of his heel.
