"You want Us to... spar you?" The doubtful incredulousness in Sesshosuna-Oh's voice was thick as she leaned against a large rock a few feet away from where Katsuo was standing, stretching as a warm up for the practice fight he'd asked for. She was clad in the same indigo and black dress that she'd donned when she'd first met with Katsuo and he was beginning to suspect that the garment was itself mystical in some fashion. She folded her arms under her breasts and pouted with a scowl. "We instructed you not to waste Our time, did We not?"
"Oh this won't be a waste of your time." Remarked Katsuo with a confident smile which seemed to deepen Sesshosuna-Oh's scowl just a little bit. She seemed slightly perturbed that he was not intimidated by her the same way he had been when they'd first met. "I promise."
"Very well then. If you are so confident in your abilities then We suggest a wager." She said, a predatory look of anticipation creeping into her features that slowly displaced the irritation from her countenance.
Stopping, Katsuo halted his stretching and turned to regard Sesshosuna-Oh who had ceased leaning against the rock and was now standing only inches away beside him looking up at him with intensity in her eyes and expression. She was after all a Youkai which were well known for their interactions with mortals involving trickery and deception. In that way their kind was much like the Deep Court ancients. It seemed as though Sesshosuna-Oh were looking to hedge her bets about this afternoon being interesting by playing a game with their sparring match.
"Arright, what's your pitch?"
Her grin widened a little bit further to the point of being almost impossibly smug.
"We will spar you as you have asked but if you cannot last for at least a minute then We will win the wager and dissolve our pact ..." The wager was dangerous enough at first but Sesshosuna-Oh continued before he had a chance to respond, "... and you will make a new pact with Us as Our servant. We could find plenty of uses for a mortal such as you."
"Okay that's. Wow. And if I win?" Katsuo asked, taken a bit aback by Sesshosuna-Oh's forward suggestion that they dissolve their pact and he become her slave. He could only imagine what sorts of tasks that a daiyoukai like Sesshosuna-Oh might have in store for him to say nothing of how the loss of the man power he provided to the Sand's military force would affect the city.
"We are already granting you a concession -- is it not enough of a privilege for Us to agree to cross swords with you?" She was pouting again, this time with her hands on her hips and her cheeks puffed out indignantly.
"That's not a fair deal at all. We become your slave if you win but if we win then nothing? That's not a deal that's robbery." He remarked with a smile, knowing that she wouldn't be able to resist rising to his bait.
"You go too far, Lord Sunahoshi." She grumped out-loud as Katsuo chewed on the way she'd addressed him. Lord Sunahoshi? He might never get used to being called that. "But you are perhaps correct despite your forwardness. Very well then. If you should win Our wager then We will yield to you another boon that is within Our power."
"Anything I want?"
"That is within Our power to grant, yes. You will not win, of course, but it would not do for a king to appear ungracious in her deals and a boon of Our favor is more than equal in value to the lifetime service of a mortal man."
Katsuo recognized how dangerous the challenge was. When she'd tested him before he hadn't even harmed her. No... she didn't even flinch. If she had not come back down to his level and remarked on her assessment he wouldn't have even known if she'd noticed that he'd blasted her. But that was in her sandworm form and Katsuo had no intention of trying to spar Sesshosuna-Oh's gargantuan sandworm form. And even then... even with the danger of the challenge, Katsuo couldn't help but be enticed towards it. He was never a type to back down from a challenge -- especially not from a pretty girl and Sesshosuna-Oh was definitely that and more -- but more than that she was also a strong adversary. He could potentially learn quite a lot about his new powers and her own powers by crossing swords with her.
And besides, all he had to do was last a minute. How hard could that be?
"I accept your challenge then." He said, excitement creeping it's way into his expression in the form of a wide grin. "On the condition that you fight in the form you are now."
At that Sesshosuna-Oh laughed heartily out-loud at his condition.
"You are right to fear Our glorious true form. But yes, We will battle you as We are. After all, We would not want to harm Our new servant." She said with a shrug as she giggled off the last vestiges of her laugh and danced backwards away from her. It was surprising to him no matter how many times he saw it how quickly and precisely Sesshosuna-Oh could move in the dress she wore. "Not yet, anyway. Prepare yourself Lord Sunahoshi."
