Twin Daggers

[Hoshi Icchihara]

Kick, slice right, balace left, steady, kick up, swip down. Hoshi went over in her mind as she moved with delibert slowness. She was working way too hard lately and not on classes. They where second years for crying out loud problems like this should not be theirs to worry about but thiers they where. Hoshi didn't want to think about what was going on so consentrated on moved that where normally second nature.

Hoshi couldn't let her mind waver for a moment. If she did he would come back into her mind. Not Ares who seemed perfictly happy with his new Glamie girlfriend or Oliver who she was working but Henric Lee. He was always there like a spinter in her mind. It was worse knowing that it wasn't the same for him. No Hoshi could not allowe her mind to wonder. She had to make her train of thought stay on whatever she was doing. She had maneged to convince the entire student body that the sketchbook was a fake. She hoped that that was enough. For what she didn't know. Why did she work so hard to make sure no one knew about how she felt about Henric Lee. Hoshi forced her wonder to leave her though the slash she ran though the air.

Today Hoshi was praticing with a pair of daggers that she had finally been able to get into the school without her mother noticeing. One had a handle that was almost as wide as the head. Perfectly balenced this one provided a steady for the dagger in her right hand. This one looked more normal though it was light enough that it could be used as a trowing knife when nessery. Hoshi knew how to fight with thies the best. They where also like a blanket would be to a little girl. With thies in hand or somewhere on her person Hoshi felt safe. Not that they could be anywhere on her person other than her hands at the moment. Hoshi was waring a small black half shirt that was held up with thin strings and a set of skin tight shorts. Her hair was in a bun like ponytail high up on her head making the dark fusha strands fall to just under her neck.

Cyril hugged the windbreaker that he was wearing tightly around him, as the wind came again in buffets that sent his hair messing up in places. Squinting his dry eyes, he searched for shelter in the Garden. Although the large garden was a beautiful place to be in, its occasional, sudden large winds turned him off at times. And to add insult to injury, he was kinda lost. Most of the tall plants, bushes and hedges towered over him, and his hours of strolling had led him through twist and turns that brought him to the deepest areas of the garden.

As the giant winds slowly subsided, he could feel another person in the garden. He couldn't explain how he knew, but he just .. Knew it. It was kind of in the DNA of the human race to feel the presence of another in the area, someone dangerous. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he was suddenly alert. Was that something cutting through the air that he heard? As the elementary school he studied in was full of bullies that were a few times larger than him, his mother had insisted him to go for karate, taekwondo and self-defence lessons. He didn't really like to fight, but he knew his mother worried for him thus he agreed to go. After a few lessons, he found that he actually loved the art of unarmed fighting, as compared to the usage of weapons.

Turning around the hedge, he noticed an asian girl there, a pair of daggers in her hands. For a fact, he knew that daggers were not allowed in the school, and the way the girl handled the daggers told him that she was not someone to be messed with. Closing his eyes for a few seconds he tried to remember the lessons that he had, on how to disarm armed people if it came to a fight. First, he knew he had to stay away from the blades - Aim for the wrist, and the pressure point on her forehand. Suppressing the rising fear in his body by sheer willpower and cold empathy, he stepped towards the girl slowly, warily and deliberately.

"You aren't supposed to bring those into school, you know. I think its better if you go hand them over to a teacher."

 

[Hoshi Icchihara]

Hoshi was going as slow as her breathing. The wind seemed not to faze the now sweating high kicking girl. She was lost in her movements so when the voice of another person came to her ears she missed a step. She didn't lose her balence though. "Try and make me first year." She said. The boy was young and she hadn't seen him in the classes she had bother to attend so Hoshi deduced that he was a first year. She was not under estimating his skills it was just that she felt like she needed to let out all she was bottling up and who better than a first year boy to do this for her.

Hoshi twirled the more conventional dagger in her right hand while the other one was behind her her arm extended. She looked a bit like she was bowing. "Come and get me." She said calmly. She half hoped that the boy would take her up on offer. She needed something to do besides what was going on in the school.

 

[Cyril Tokarev]

Hearing the girl taunt him to try and disarm her, Cyril fought back a smile. Perhaps its was good if he had a fight once in a while - That would warm him up and add to his experience. Moving into a defensive stance, Cyril slid one leg of his backwards to form a pivot which would allow him to remain firm and then closed one hand to a fist, pulling it close to his chest while pushing the other hand forward, in the form of a palm towards the girl. Making a beckoning gesture with his outstretched hand, he said to the girl seriously, "Its always ladies first."

 

[Hoshi Icchihara]

Hoshi was on pointed toe in an instant. She couldn't dig the dagger into his flesh because she would have explain one dead student to the school heads and that's something she had no will to do. Instead she fought with the flat of the more normal looking blade aiming for the fast blows at his ribs to avoid his blocking hands. Hoshi had little to nothing to lose here. She already felt like she was losing herself.

 

[Cyril Tokarev]

Upon his beckoning the girl was on him in an instant, and by the gods, she was fast! Though, Cyril was sure he could match her speed with his own moves, thus rather than dodging away from her blows, his hands shot back towards the chest and he batted away her hand quickly, while taking one step back. It was always good to let your opponent have the first move, before retreating. He still had yet seen the full ability of the girl yet, so he dared not attack first.

Taking one step back, he swayed on his foot, changing his weight from foot to foot as he taunted, "Anything more?"

 

[Hoshi Icchihara]

Hoshi let him back up. He taunted her making Hoshi roll her eyes. "You still haven't gotten my daggers way from me." It was best that he do so because she could not use the daggers the way she usually did until he actually tried to hit her. She whorled round aiming three sharp blows into the small of the boy's back then whorled back round her ponytail seeming to wrap around her slender neck. Hoshi dropped, aiming a kick round his head. She really had improved her speed though a lot of what she knew she had picked up earlier in life.

 

[Cyril Tokarev]

Batting away all three blows to his back, Cyril felt his hands go sore for a moment from the strength of the blows before he pressed on with some form of offense. But then, his plans were frozen for the moment as her leg came towards his head, and he ducked down a little too late, feeling a slight impact on his head as it grazed him. As one of her legs were in the air, Cyril dived towards her other leg - The leg that she was using to balance herself. If his attack was successfully the girl would hit the ground, and then Cyril would have the chance to pin her down and strip her of her daggers.

 

[Hoshi Icchihara]

The boy was successful in taking her other leg down but Hoshi landed on her clenched fists making so she could use both feet to impact the boy's chest. She used the dagger in her left hand as a brace for when she got back on her feet she would strike the boy across the head again with the flat of her blade so as not to draw blood. The exses energy that she had from stress and worries where slowly seeping from her as she expended it on this boy's hide.

 

[Cyril Tokarev]

As the girl landed on both of her fists Cyril's eyes - Which were as sharp as a cats saw both of her legs shoot towards him, and they were aimed at his chest. Deciding to match his strength with hers, Cyril moved backwards, still facing her before pushing one leg backwards as a brace, and thrust both hands out towards her incoming feet. Both of his hands would catch her legs, and if he was lucky enough he would be able to send her onto the floor.

 

[Hoshi Icchihara]

Hoshi's got cought up but they boy's hands but she was tall enough that she could get a hold of a low hanging tree branch while aided by the boy's arms. She used the lack of momentum to twist her body round with the help of he branch. This was in hopes of getting out of the boy's grasp and to be able to land a kick across the boy's head that would hopefully knock him down.
