[1 vs. 1] Reiko challenges Kankuro!

[starrevolution]

So Dr. falcon... care to put Kankuro the brute up against Reiko?

[paulfalcon]

(-coughs- His funeral... lol I kid. XD)

Kankuro is seen standing out in the opening of a field. He stretched a bit while looking over towards his opponent. "Alright, you want to face me. :Let's go. I was wanting a warm up." He retrieves his sword and shield, watching his oppenent carefully.

[starrevolution]

Reiko blushed and his perverted side came out. He was fighting such a hunk!

"Ummm... that's a big sword you got there." he said flustered, slowly drawing his spear while blushing.

[paulfalcon]

Kankuro smirked at the comment. Was this man trying to compliment him or diss him in someway involving "compensation". Whatever it was, he replied "Yeah, quality steel, it'll last for years." He raises his blade and smile "Just hope it doesn't end up embedded in your neck during it's life time." Kankuro proceeded to move toward his opponent, looking to swing high with his blade. However, his hand froze to a stop in mid swing while the rest of his body move, attacking at Reiko's legs with his leg instead, hoping to meet it's target.

[starrevolution]

Reiko's leg-plates made of the best elven metals would not break so easily, so even though the attack connected it did not do much besides trip him a bit.

"Gah! You really get down to business, don't you?" Reiko winked, pulling the spear off his back and readying himself in a battle position. "Let's go, Swordie-boy!" He jabbed it towards Kankuro's stomach.

[paulfalcon]

Kankuro paid no mind to the attempts this male made in trying to flatter him. After all, such falttery won't work unless the one doing the flattering was female... a sexy female at that. Kankuro's eyes focused on the man's hand, seeing him reaching back for his polearm like weapon. He drew his shield in front of him, the spear's head being held back from sinking into Kankuro's belly. "Looks like you've got some quality armor on as well. This could get interesting after all..." He pushed with his shield, attempting to knock him off balance. Whether this worked or not, he pressed on, attempting to slash at the man's chest.

[starrevolution]

Reiko's spear bounced back with supreme force and he had to hold on tightly to avoid the impact knocking it out of his hands.

"Heh" He replied to Kankuro's' compliment of his armor, "People tend to underestimate Elven steel, but our continent has some of the most skilled blacksmiths."

He decided to prove his statement by kicking an armored leg up and attempting to kick Kankuro's shield out of his hands from the side.

[paulfalcon]

Kankuro cursed a bit, suddenly having the shield which he carried in his left arm had suddenly been kicked out of his grasp. Instead of retaliating, he looked far more interested in getting his shield back in his possession.

[starrevolution]

As a fighter Reiko knew an opportunity when he saw one and one had just reared its head as Kankuro foolishly headed to retreave his shield. After taking a few seconds to admire the back view of his opponent reiko lunged at him, spear-first, hoping to pierce through his back.

[paulfalcon]

What Reiko doesn't see from his point of view was the crazed smirk of the veteran warrior, seeing that the bait was dead on. With a swift movement, Kankuro steps to the side of the jabbing polearm and grabbing at it by the "neck" of the polearm. With the upper wooden portion of the polearm in his grasp, he gazed into the eyes of Reiko, with the eyes of a man gone mad. "I hope you don't mind bleeding a little!" cackled Kankuro as he pulled on the polearm, in hopes to drag Reiko towards him. At the same time, Kankuro's sword was raised and jabbed forward, aiming for Reiko's face.

[starrevolution]

Reiko thanked his limber elven form as he let go and fell back to avoid the blade. He was without a weapon now but at least avoided from having his face cleaved in two. "You're good!" He called whil still keeping his distance. "I'm impressed..."

Having nothing to fight with, Reiko needed to stall for time or something. He dashed into the cluster of surrounding trees, sticking his tongue out to goad Kankuro into following

[paulfalcon]

Kankuro glared a bit as he watched the elf running for the forest area. Switching his sword with the spear, holding the spear with his stronger arm. He raised the spear above his head, looking like he was about to throw the spear at Reiko. Taking one big step forward, he took this momentum to throw the spear. The spear went flying into the air and came spiraling for the earth, just missing Reiko's head by an inch and the spear's head sinking into the earth before Reiko.

Knowing this probably stopped Reiko in his tracks, Kankuro stepped forward. "One, a warrior never shows the enemy his back. Two, a warrior never lets go of his weapon, regardless if it would mean certain death. Just guidelines but, if you truly desire to live, you do what you must. You're skills are nothing short of remarkable, as well. Pick up your spear and if you still wish to play in the woods, I am willing to follow."

[starrevolution]

The shock of a spear landing in front of him sent Reiko to his feet but he grabbed the spear to keep himself from falling flat on his face. He grunted and frowned at hearing the warrior's words from behind him. Pulling the spear out of the ground, he walked a few steps deeper into the woods until he was sure the Warrior would not see him. Then he jumped into the trees and climbed from branch to branch - luckily the tres were very close - back to the clearing, and watched Kankuro from a low branch.

Knowing not to make the sam mistake twice, Reiko tried to tquietly snap off a branch quickly sharpened with his spear, and threw it with piercing aim at the back of Kankuro's neck from the tree.
