Summary; ...That's right! Another sparring session thanks to Flonne's post. This time, it's with Kurogane!
Log;

The beach, right? Flonne had found her way there pretty easily, a beach was hard to miss! Her red shoes sank into the sand with every step. Ah...so nice♥ Flonne thought to herself. If only they had lovely places like this in the Netherworld...! Though, of course, Laharl wouldn't want something so...lively and pretty.

She had found a comfortable looking rock to sit on, waiting for her opponent to arrive. Her bow and arrows were set to the side, along with the little velvet bag holding a small treasure. "I hope this one will be just as fun!" She said aloud to herself, remembering her little spar with Doris earlier.

Kurogane stepped outside of the forest and onto the soft sand of the beach, red eyes scanning for his opponent, spotting a young girl sitting on a rock. He raised an eyebrow--he wasn't quite certain that was his opponent. But then again...one never knew in this City. At the moment, he had no visible weapon on him; Souhi was still sealed into his hand.

He moved forward at a casual gait, hands stuck in his pockets.

"Hey." he greeted, as he neared.

She perked up at the sound of his voice. "Oh, hello!" She stood up quickly and bowed her head. "You're here to challenge me, aren't you? I'm Flonne! It's nice to meet you in person!" She held out her hand, smiling brightly. "I'm glad you made it."

She looked up, he was a lot taller than her, but size didn't necessarily mean too much. It all came down to skill, and Flonne would be happy to learn from him.

"I'm Kurogane. Nice to meet you, too." He grasped her hand, shaking it briefly. "I'm looking forward to it."

He straightened, placing his hands on his hips. "So. Weapons it is, then?"

"Mhm! I hope you don't mind my arrows." She gestured to the bundle that sat where she had been sitting. "I'll work on my hand-to-hand as well! And I won't use my magic..." She thought back to hew two previous fights.

"Since I'm sure we don't want a flat knock-out or...um...death, shall we set up a boundry?" She lifted one of her arrows out of the pack--"Just one second!"--And drew a circle of decent size, sixty feet in diameter, into the sand.

"How about...first person to get knocked out of this circle loses? Unless you'd prefer something else?"

"Arrows and hand-to-hand sounds fine with me." Kurogane agreed, before settling back to watch her draw a large circle in the sand, setting the parameters for their spar. "And so does the parameter." He lifted his left hand, releasing his current sword (Souhi was still in the diety's possession) from his left hand and catching it.

[ooc: Sorry, I totally forgot that he doesn't have Souhi right now >.>;;;;]

Flonne gathered up the rest of her bows and arrows and nodded to Kurogane. "Great! Let's get started then!" She chimed, kicking her shoes off to the side--they were on the beach, after all.

"On the count of ten~?" She replied, not getting an arrow ready just yet, but stretching out her arms and loosening herself up.

No shoes? That actually sounded like a good plan--his heavy boots would weigh him down anyway. He bent down and unlaced them, tossing them off to the side and outside the parameter.

"Count of ten." he agreed, pulling the sheath off his sword and placing it with his boots, before returning to the circle.

"Alright~" She chimed, holding her bow, counting down slowly. "Ten...nine...eight...seven...six~" She stood completely still, continuing, trying to keep herself still as loose.

"Five...four...three...two...one!" She dashed forward as soon as she said it, preparing an arrow and firing it with her demon speed as she ran.

Holy shit she was fast.

But then, he probably should've been prepared for that, he mused, as he barely ducked out of the way of the arrow, teeth gritting slightly as it knicked his shoulder. Any later and his shoulder would've been peirced all the way through. He threw out a hand, cartwheeling off one hand and vaulting out of the way. The original plan had been to test her strength first and go from there, but considering how fast she was, it didn't look like there was going to be time for that.

He bent into a quick crouch then pushed off the sand, coming straight at her with a hard burst of speed.

Flonne flinched as it made contact with his shoulder, she reminded herself to take it a bit easier on him; she was a demon, after all. She thought maybe it'd be a bit easier on him to use her arrows a little less.

"Eeep!" She let out a small cry as he lunged, taking several hurried steps back just to avoid the blast, holding up her arms to block any oncoming attack.

The ninja skidded to a stop as she barely avoided his attack. Good.

"Oi." he stated, to get her attention.

"Huh?" She turned her head to look, keeping a wary hand on her arrows.

And he smirked, a glint in his eye. "You're obviously strong. And if you go easy on me, I'll kick your ass, got it?"

...! W-Well that was a warning, if Flonne ever heard one. "Got it!" She replied quickly, hand moving once again to her arrows and rushing forward.

"Good." He pushed off the sand with another burst of speed, rushing towards her, his sword drawn back in attack position. He didn't have to necessarily hurt her, which was handy, but he did have to knock her out.

"A-Ah!" Flonne hopped into the air a good few feet backward, preparing a shot, aiming for him, and firing, just before rolling to the side, falling short of the boundry marked in the sand. She made a bolt towards the safe center, trying to avoid him before he got the chance to send her sailing out of the ring.

Now things were starting to get interesting. He ducked as she fired an arrow at him, feeling the air flowing past him as it whistled just by his ear, and his red eyes followed her movements as he kicked out his right foot, stopping his forward progress in the sand and allowing him to shift his weight, shooting off after her to try and keep her from being too far away from the edge of the circle.

She missed! She reached for another arrow, still stepping back as quickly as she could, letting out another yelp as he bolted for her. He's really fast--! Super fast, just like those Ninjas I see on TV! She did a back flip as he got just close enough, trying to hit his chin with her foot.
