Showcase Showdown! [Event - Tournament]

[Kimi]

It was a great feeling to be completely unnoticed in the battle. Kei disappeared, but Kimi wasn't too concerned with that. There were more important things at the moment...like healing! She slowed down the pace of her music slightly, working her way into her pocket as she did. She popped two identical little pills in her mouth, wincing at the unpleasant taste. It was then that she did the unthinkable. Kimi stopped playing. It was strange to hear the sudden lack of music in the arena, but she needed to put her full attention towards her side. She took a really hard hit. She wrapped her side in a spare piece of cloth, sighing as she watched it slowly become dyed red with blood. Fortunately, she could also feel it slow, the wound clotting as the pressure was put on it. As much as she wanted to get in the fight and deal some damage, she knew that taking those few seconds to pause and care for her injury, especially while nobody else knew where she was, would give her the additional edge she may very well need. Her wounds sufficiently tended to, and feeling much better than she did before, she picked up the violin, and resumed playing a cheerful fight tune, preparing to make her next move.

After returning from what seemed like tommorow, which was actually just the restroom, Sabaku returned to the stadium and walked into the stands.
Seeing that he has lost and was out, he might as well watch to see who wins.
Seeing Hissori and buru sitting some ways in the crowd of people, Sabaku weaved his way easily through the roaring crowd and made his way to Hissori.

Hiya Hissori! And hello to you to Buru! Sabaku would say while petting Buru.

Sitting down next to the pair he would speak again.

So I kinda missed some, what is happening so far? He would ask as he tried to make sense of the carnage that was in the arena.

[Toraono Suzuhime]

Shujinko really was a straightforward person. And it was likely going to be her down-fall. Her strike against Kei was substituted, much like Oyochi had done during their fight. But she barely managed to evade the strike he made as a counter. Where she countered herself with another series of attacks. After gaining some distance from Kei, she would ingest one of her bitter pills. The life-giving tablets sending energy throughout her body.​

[Kei]

If Kei could get out of sight he might be able to get a leg up on the competition. That persistent Shujinko's eyes locked onto his. Damn, she saw him. So much for that plan. Shujinko charged for Kei, her form all to familiar by now. It was that attack. After this was over Kei resolved to try and teach the girl a new attack. Still judging by the fact that Kei's breathing was getting shallower, it was definitely working. So why change it up right. A quick handseal, and Kei had substituted away, giving a small, sarcastic wave as Shujinko ripped into a log. A sense of humor helped in these situations. Especially when his target managed to avoid his counterstrike. Kei yanked his soulsword out of the dirt as Chi summoned a clone from the ground. He couldn't tell them apart. He looked between the two opponents he could actually find. Someone had to drop and Kei didn't want it to be him.

Another strike from Shujinko, this one Kei couldn't avoid, he was too slow from his injuries and using the substitution jutsu. More of his blood hit the dirt. Hiding wasn't exactly an option now unless he could get completely out of sight. Chi had the right idea with what he assumed were health pills. He might have a ninja tool that could turn this around. He didn't make it all the way to finals for nothing. Kei wanted to win this, he at least wanted to place. His shirt was soaked in blood and sweat but his emerald eyes blazed. He had to give it his all.

[Ii Hissori]

Just like the preliminary fights, Hissori was sitting up in the stands. It was a boring job, but it was what he was assigned to do. Buru and he were just watching the kids fight. Kids, he really did not know, or did not really want to see hurt. Of course there was Sabaku, the kid he had saved in the cavern. He had been the one whom he wanted to win. He was hoping that in some way, he had helped a winner. Alas, he did not do that as it seemed that Sabaku had timed out and was considered the loser in his bout.

“What a shame buddy.” Hissori murmured to Buru, as he just clapped for the winners. With his favorite student out of the tournament, all Hissori could do was watch and hope for some exciting action. However, this was no chuunin exam. Instead, it seemed the children were just doing the most basics of attacks. Still there was at least strategy going on. Ideally watching the fight Hissori was ready to step in to save a student if he had too. That was until he heard the voice of a student.

“Hey Sabaku you did great out there!” He said offering him support as he rubbed his shoulder. Buru as well was making to cheer the boy up by licking his face. Hissori would make room for the boy so that they could sit in between them still trying to be kind.

“You took a nasty shot from that air bullet. Do you want me to heal yah?” He asked looking at him as he smiled at him. “Genjustu’s can be nasty things, but you will get better at defending against them buddy.” He said waiting for permission before he would go about healing him.

[Toraono Suzuhime]

Her blade seemed to revel in feeling Kimi's blood stain it's metal. Even if she had missed the first time, she had revealed herself, which allowed Shujinko to move in for the kill. Not the kill per say... but she did manage to get in a few good hits in. But they traded blows and Shujinko in turn took a heavy blow to the side from the girls sound waves. Now that she wasn't hiding, she wasn't as angry. But still.

"How nice of you to finally join us."

She called out. Preparing herself for what she was going to do next.​

[Kaen]

[OoC @ hissori]

Yea, thanks... Sabaku replied in a sad sarcastic voice, knowing that he didn't do great at all.

Sitting down next to Hissori, Sabaku looked on into the fight that was now nearing an end.
One of the contestants did a move that highly peeked Sabaku's interest as it looked and felt strangely familiar to what happened to him, back at the mineshafts.
Seeing the boy almost warp to the other students felt strange but also normal.

Pushing the thoughts to the side for the moment he turned back to hissori and replied to his question.

OH, yes sorry... I would like a heal if you don't mind. Sabaku said with a "eyes closed smile".

I am going to have to learn how to counter genjutsu if i am ever going to be able to stand on my own in a fight... Thought Sabaku with a grimacing look.

Sabaku had the physical down.... now he just needed to figure out the mental part.

[Chikara]

[legend="[size=4]Student Tournament. HIYAH~![/size]"]She continued to not do much except bide her time and try to heal. She got lucky, no one was attacking her. It seemed Shujinko and Kei were more worried about each other than Chi. She took the opportunity and healed herself as much as possible, watching the others as they battled it out. Shujinko and Kei went for each other, taking and giving blows. Chi noticed no one was attacking her this round. She thought maybe they believed she would take herself out, but she wouldn't go down that easily. Because as these ten seconds came to a close it would seem Kei and Shujinko had finished each other off. Chi watched as the referee took them out of the battle. It was time to get serious.
"Let's do this…" She whispered to herself, then with a flash her flames became a fine gold color. She wanted to end this, but first she had to take care of Kimi. She still had moves she hadn't shown yet, and that was her main advantage right now. Hopefully it would be enough, as it seemed Kimi's stealth helped her to not get hit as much as the rest of them. All Chi had was her fire, and the fire of the phoenix that flows through the Kogane clan's blood. She was mostly burnt out, but now she had come out of those ashes and was ready to strike. This was the pep-talk she gave to herself inside her head. Hopefully that was enough pep to pull her through.[/legend]

[Kei]

Kei knew he hadn't lost so much blood that he should be seeing double yet. He looked hard, it wasn't easy but he was able to see the difference between the two. Still Chi wasn't his focus at the moment. She was dangerous, sure but he needed a better plan to take her down. Kei acted quickly, not wanting to miss his chance, his soulsword leaving a vivid green trail as he rushed forward. He extended his arm as he torqued his body pouring chakra into his blade. He practically warped over to Shujinko, slashed, warped to the other side of her, slashed again. Lather, rinse, repeat: Four strikes in total. His blows had managed to draw blood. He could do this, whatever it took he'd prove himself. He could take the blade user who'd been so focused on him down, then try an d staunch his bleeding before taking on the two elemental jutsu-slingers. Shujinko tried to counter his attack, only to have Kei warp behind him and out of harm's way. He saw Kimi fire an attack out of the corner of his eye, he was impressed she had managed to stay hidden for so long. Kei put his bracers up in front of his face as Shujinko tried to tear into him with her sword, effectively blocking part of the attack. His face locked into a sneer. He looked down at his body, he was still standing, but only just. Still conscious! he snarled as he was blinsided by a sonic attack from Kimi. Damn He should have been expecting that.

He readied himself for the next attack, blood running down his arm and dripping into the dirt. His chakra reserves were doing good, that was a plus. Suddenly a wave of heat rushed over him, he couldn't believe he would be the first one out... His vision blurred. He dropped to one knee as his sprained ankled gave out, there was no way he could fight anymore. His other knee hit the dirt as he struggled to stay conscious. He wasn't strong enough... His Soulsword dimmed as it went out, his breathing ragged as his blood spilled onto the dirt. His eyes were full of determination, as long as he was conscious he was still in this. But how much longer would that be? The ref seemed to notice Kei's condition though, and determined him and Shujinko both unable to continue. He was carried from the arena, struggling to stay conscious. He at least wanted to see who managed to win. That way he'd at least know who he should aspire to beat.

 

[Kimi]

Kimi sighed. She couldn't very well win the battle on stealth alone. Knowing that, she slid her way around the battlefield, her violin's music filling the arena. The way the sounds echoed off every single surface made it impossible for anyone to determine the source. Just the way she liked it. The small girl made her way around so she could get an easy shot at any one of the three, and set herself up to attack. She watched as Shujinko attempted an attack at Kei, only to watch as Kei completely dodged the attack. Seeing her opportunity, Kimi sent her attack directly at the sword-wielder. She smiled, noting the sound's collision with the girl. She then watched as Shujinko all but ignored the fact she was no longer hidden, and struck Kei. Kimi followed up with an attack of her own, sending a slash of sound at the sword-wielder once again. Unfortunately, it missed. She sighed, flailing slightly before following up her attack with another of the same sort. It nearly missed, but managed to partially hit. Kimi was rather frustrated with herself; she knew she should have done better...until she looked around. Both Kei and Shujinko were on the ground...it seemed they both ended up falling in the last few attacks. "Looks like it's just you and me now!" she called, turning to face Chi. It was going to be a good fight.

[Kimi]

Kimi groaned, feeling her power increase for a reason she couldn't completely identify. She felt...stronger. She sped up her playing, feeling the added power course through her. Things were going to be different from that moment on...at least she hoped. Chi sent an attack her way, but it managed to miss her. She watched as the clone disappeared, and a smile grew on her face. With the clone gone, there was only one Chi to worry about. The female spit something on her, and she shook herself, trying to dislodge it, but it wouldn't work. Kimi sent a slash of sound her direction, only to find it missed. In her disappointment, she left herself open to be bombarded. Pissed off, she turned around and shot sound bullets at her opponent. Like hell she was going to be hit that easily a second time.

 

[Chikara]

[legend="[size=4]Student Tournament. HIYAH~![/size]"]The battle had shrunk to just the two of them, Chi's golden flaming hair went to behind her as she no longer had to defend against melee attacks. Her eyes still flamed on in golden fire, trying to stay keen on Kimi's movements. Something had changed about her, something Chi couldn't be sure of quite yet. Regardless she missed most of her strikes on Chi, and Chi managed to get what looked like a critical strike with her earth jutsu. It seemed she was as cut offguard by the earth jutsu that Chi had hoped. IT was too bad her electrocution didn't hit, though. This would be a whole different ballgame. Who knew what the next 10 seconds entailed but Chi was just happy to have gotten so far in such a battle.[/legend]

[Kimi]

Kimi groaned, the flaming ball of fire striking her full on. She spun around, sending her own attack in retaliation. Three bullets of sound shot towards Chi, and her smile widened with each hit. That was better. She fully intended to follow it up with a slash, but she lost her footing at the last second. Crap. That oil was really going to get frustrating. She tried to brush some of it off herself as she turned to face Chi. Things were really looking like it was gonna be a close fight. She narrowed her eyes, suddenly much more serious. It was all or nothing.
