"You heard the old man, he's leaving before sundown. It'll just be the girl here till tomorrow, if we come back after he leaves it'll be easy."
"You're just anxious because you lost your money in that bet last night,"
"That's not the point! Listen, we'll be quick. If we kill her there will be no witnesses-"

Kojika stopped listening at this point, having heard enough of the strangers conversation to be sure. He'd gotten a bad feeling from them the moment he'd entered the small store, something about how they held themselves and glanced around setting him on edge. It definitely wasn't any of his business, but he wasn't exactly going to just let their plan happen. With a promise to himself he would return before sundown, Kojika patted his horses cheek reassuringly before easily hauling himself up. He'd have to get a nap in before tonight if he was going to stay up.

Just as the sun was setting, Kojika slipped slightly further into the small alleyway he'd been loitering in. He watched as the shop owner waved goodbye to his daughter before leaving and Kojika couldn't help but sigh in relief. He hadn't been late then. Kawa's curious huff behind him distracted Kojika for a moment, "Now, don't start getting your tail in a bunch. Just...making sure everything's ok." Kojika pet through his horses mane, ignoring the huff the mustang gave in return. The sound of people approaching got Kojika to focus again, "Stay here." He ignored how Kawa pawed at the ground at that, instead stepping between the group of men and the shop.

The sun had just dipped below the horizon as Kojika placed himself between the group of four men. A brief flicker of anxiety seeped through him as he eyed them; they obviously were accustomed to fighting...where as Kojika was much more accustomed to running. Still.. "Do you all really think talking about your plans to rob an innocent girl is a smart thing to do in public where anyone can hear you?"
"Doesn't seem to matter much when the only person to show up is a slight little thing like you, does it?" The one who spoke stood off to the right, the man who'd wanted to do this in the first place. Before Kojika could say anything else the man to the left lunged at him.
On pure surprised instinct alone, Kojika stepped to the side and grabbed the mans arm, leaning forward and pressing against his elbow the wrong way. Th resulting crack was nothing compared to the mans scream and Kojika let go, stumbling away in surprise. He hadn't meant to break his arm.
"You're gonna regret that."
"Oh, but I already do." Kojika took a step back, wanting to run. He felt relief knowing he'd at least distracted them from robbing the girl. As they tried to get ahold of him he led them further and further away form the shop. The girl would wake up tomorrow without a single idea of what almost happened.
When they finally caught him, Kojika didn't mind so much. He'd done something good after all.

Shenjie had been traveling for a few days now, or so it had seemed. Shenjie, as it was for the most part, appeared very simple in appearance, his Gi had been wrapped up and placed in his butt bag, which resided with his staff inside the small inn that he had been staying at for the past day or so. Dressed in a dark brown hooded sweatshirt and a pair of grey jean like pants that were comfortably fitting and would allow him to move if he needed to. His hands and feet were wrapped up in bandages that were designed to protect the hands and feet, as well as exposed Shenjie’s bare feet to the ground so that he could feel where he was going and what was around him. His hood was down and the Iwagakure shinobi headband he wore was wrapped around his forehead exposing his pale sightless eyes. His hair was a mess, but at least it was short once again as he felt some commotion moving down an alleyway to his right as suddenly a slim framed what seemed like a man ran past him, being chased by some goons of some sort, one of which Shenjie could sense had a broken arm by the way his vibration had an arm appendage just dangling there. Shenjie was never one to endorse violence, but alas he knew that this situation this fellow was in was more than likely dangerously lethal. Quickly taking on a stance as he timed his movements, preparing as the first fellow came to his face, Shenjie knew that he could finish this fight quickly as he focused his inner Ki and threw himself forward rotating his leg rear right leg in a circular motion as he jumped forward, rolling the leg into a do mawashi drop kick that rolled forward to strike the fellow on the collar bone with what would have been a lethal crack.

“What the fuck just happened?” Shenjie heard the fellow utter as he exhaled painfully with the surge of nerves that Shenjie had hit with his strike. It was now time to follow up as his second leg was falling as well, using the momentum of said kick, he knew that he could land another blow, though this second blow would be nowhere near as powerful as the first, Shenjie placed his rear right hand on the ground as he swiftly used his grounded stance to whack the fellow over the head with the second kick as he rolled backwards in a cartwheel that would bring him to stand in the second Goutetsu stance; which was his preferred stance anyway as he watched the four or so compatriots of the fellow hop over him in an attempt to get ahold of this street fighting kid. “Hey you, fuck off this is none of your business!” The fellow to the front (about 2 meters away from Shenjie) shouted in a disgusting tone as Shenjie could feel the fellow’s anger from where he stood. Shenjie had performed a spectacular kick, the Do Mawashi Geri; which was hard to pull off period, not to mention it had been done in a confined space. Shenjie knew that he could improve striking the face instead of the collarbone, as the kick would deal much more damage that way.

Shenjie calmed his breathing as he tried to respond. “It seems you’re threating this fellow behind me, and I find that unsettling, as a Karate Ka I cannot stand by while you roughens do as you please.” The straight forward Karate Ka uttered as he stepped forward putting his left hand low by his belt, and moving his hand high towards his collarbone, with finger tips facing towards each other. The stance resembled one of the many Kyokushin Karate stances that were originally taken from Chinese Kenpo, the maneuver was a defensive one, designed to prepare for a counter attack and throw trick kicks, perfect for the Do Mawashi, Shenjie thought to himself as the fellow seemed to dislike his answer pulling out a knife of sorts. “I’m going to cut your bitch ass up really nice like you see that will hopefully teach people to stay the fuck out of our business.” The fellow said, his structure shorter than Shenjie’s probably standing at 5’6” but it was still threatening all the same. Shenjie visualized some of the moves he could make as the fellow came, making a downward stab towards Shenjie’s neck, per say for the most part. Shenjie knew that he could defect the blow, and thought about throwing a Do Mawashi towards the fellow’s face. He knew he could connect, and the flipping motion would probably crush the fellow’s collar bone or even skull if he got a good hit. Shenjie could almost see himself doing the move, jumping, following the bodies momentum, and using the weight to create a crushing blow; however Shenjie wasn’t about causing that much physical harm.

Shenjie was about to jump when he felt something inside him persuade him otherwise as he quickly stepped forward with his left foot, putting him in an orthodox stance, letting his hands switch positions as he used his left hand to deflect the arm of the fellow to the side in a circular motion as he turned his body, throwing his right elbow into the back of the fellow’s head. Now with that momentum and set up Shenjie quickly turned his body as the fellow seemed to shake a bit, almost crumpling from the force of the blow as Shenjie launched himself into the air, using his rear right leg as the primary striking leg as he dropped his leg onto the top of the fellow’s head, and then following it up with the second kick before rolling his body forward with the falling fellow, rolling over his body so that he could hand spring up to a standing position once again, making sure to turn and face the other fellows as they seemed fairly surprised by the development. It was now three on one; which was better odds, but alas Shenjie wasn’t sure if he could take them all on without the assistance of the gates or the person who had been running. His Do Mawashi ax kick looked fairly impressive this time around, and it would certainly be something to see as he hoped that his impressive moves had persuaded the person running to help him out a little bit, just a little bit.

SPOILER: Click to show

Kusomimi (HellsEars) X7
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Without this Jutsu the Clan is capable of just listening with sharpen hearing. What this Jutsu does is by using the chakra along their eardrum, labyrinth system, as well as the outer ear of the body the user makes their ear into something of a sonar. This sonar system enables the brain to remember certain points by sound wave frequencies that hits the ear from a pebble hitting the water, to a person walking along grass. The Sonar system enables the Shitakuma clan to basically see. This is greatly used when Rain falls down for every time a drop hits the ground it emits a sound so basically they are capable to see for the first time in their lives. When first learned the distance that one is capable of understanding and remembering is the distance of fifty meters. After each time learned the distance goes up by twenty meters.
Special: The first time learned the user must do the signs of Dragon, Rabbit, Dragon, Ram. After the first time there would be no need for the seals.
Drawback: Must be trained into this more then once. Without the proper training of a technique such as Kusokesuni and Advanced version sounds could cause dizziness or damage to the user. The sounds to create this must be sounds that are greatly abrupt and fast which must be near the ear like a Flash/Bang grenade.
Description: When sound frequencies hit the ear it creates a sonar in which the mind remembers in a certain distance until the sound waves hit the ear once again. It looks as if the user is capable of seeing in such a way but it is just a technique that enables the user to know where to go and how far objects are at. They are capable of seeing shapes, and size, but the thing is they are not capable of seeing defined objects.
Limit: Only a technique for the Shitakuma Clan

Tremor Sense X10
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: By pouring their chakra into the ground, by using th earth release the user is capable of sensing or seeing in a sense what is along the ground, in the ground, identifying what is around them.
Special: ---
Drawback: Someone needs to touch the ground in order for the person to see. This means that even the user can see by stepping. This also means that the user must be touching the ground at all times. This technique does not work on water, sand, or metal or ice. The ground is to loose for the user to see the vibrations along the ground, or is to concentrated which creates less vibrations.
Description: When first learned the user is capable of seeing in a radius of five meters. After each time learned it increases by ten meters. When ever the user steps, or when another steps in the radius of tremor sense, the mind of the user picks up the vibrations along the feet creating a somewhat of a picture of the user. Since people have water constricted within their own bodies as well as metalic components of the body a user could see the movements of the body in blur like motion, where they can guess if an attack is coming towards them. This is the beginning stage of the tremor sense technique and is the foundation of the tremor sense techniques. When learned their is a thirty percent chance that the user is capable of defending against melee attacks within arms reach. This however does not mean that after each attack someone comes forth to role a die. It just means that the chances of trying to stop melee attacks is not as well or as concentrated as one would wish it to be.
Limit: Anyone can learn, but it takes an extreme amount of chakra unless they master earth techniques or is part of the Shitakuma clan. Can only be learned if learning the blind way of life.

Tremor Sense Advanced X5
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: By pouring their chakra into the ground, by using th earth release the user is capable of sensing or seeing in a sense what is along the ground, in the ground, identifying what is around them.
Special: ---
Drawback: Someone needs to touch the ground in order for the person to see. This means that even the user can see by stepping. This also means that the user must be touching the ground at all times. This technique does not work on water, sand, or metal. The ground is to loose for the user to see the vibrations along the ground, or is to concentrated which creates less vibrations. By this time the user has a more of a sense and understanding over the movement of vibrations. This is not a drawback but by now the user is capable of sensing vibrations off of the sense of ice. Now this does not mean that the user can see with the distance as Tremor Sense and Tremor Sense Advance for Ice, only Expertise gets to allow the user see with Ice vibrations.
Description: When first learned the user is capable of seeing in a radius of five meters. After each time learned it increases by ten meters. When ever the user steps, or when another steps in the radius of tremor sense, the mind of the user picks up the vibrations along the feet creating a somewhat of a picture of the user. Since people have water constricted within their own bodies as well as metalic components of the body a user could see the movements of the body in blur like motion, where they can guess if an attack is coming towards them. The technique here does not stack with the original version the first step of the technique. This means that this technique can never overlay the first step of Tremor sense. What this means is this. If a user knows Tremor sense of a Hundred meters, then they can not surpass that distance with Tremor Sense Advanced. The advanced form is much better to be capable of seeing then that of the First step. When learned their is a thirty percent chance that the user is capable of defending against melee attacks within arms reach. This however does not mean that after each attack someone comes forth to role a die. It just means that the chances of trying to stop melee attacks is not as well or as concentrated as one would wish it to be.
Limit: Anyone can learn, but it takes an extreme amount of chakra unless they master earth techniques or is part of the Shitakuma clan. Can only be learned if learning the blind way of life. Must have Tremor Sense that surpases in distance of Advanced

Tremor Sense Expertise X3
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: By pouring their chakra into the ground, by using th earth release the user is capable of sensing or seeing in a sense what is along the ground, in the ground, identifying what is around them.
Special: ---
Drawback: Someone needs to touch the ground in order for the person to see. This means that even the user can see by stepping. This also means that the user must be touching the ground at all times. This technique does not work on water, sand, or metal. The ground is to loose for the user to see the vibrations along the ground, or is to concentrated which creates less vibrations. By this time the user has a more of a sense and understanding over the movement of vibrations. This is not a drawback but by now the user is capable of sensing vibrations off of the sense of metal. Mtal is to constricted and the vibrations is weaker so this is why this is needed. Now this does not mean that the user can see with the distance as Tremor Sense and Tremor Sense Advance for Metal, only Expertise gets to allow the user see with Metal vibrations.
Description: When first learned the user is capable of seeing in a radius of five meters. After each time learned it increases by ten meters. When ever the user steps, or when another steps in the radius of tremor sense, the mind of the user picks up the vibrations along the feet creating a somewhat of a picture of the user. Since people have water constricted within their own bodies as well as metalic components of the body a user could see the movements of the body in blur like motion, where they can guess if an attack is coming towards them. The technique here does not stack with the original version the first step of the technique, as well as the second step. This means that this technique can never overlay the first step of Tremor sense, and Tremor Sense Advanced. What this means is this. If a user knows Tremor sense of a Hundred meters, Tremor sense of Fifty Yards then they can not surpass that distance of fifty meters with Tremor Sense Expertise. The advanced form is much better to be capable of seeing then that of the First step. When learned their is a Ninty percent chance that the user is capable of defending against melee attacks within arms reach. This however does not mean that after each attack someone comes forth to role a die. It just means that the chances of trying to stop melee attacks is not as well or as concentrated as one would wish it to be.

Boxers Mentality
Rank: ["D"], ["C"], ["B"], "A", "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: By fighting on and on, a boxer becomes more proficient when an attack may come by. This happens usually when the boxer becomes unable to see the attack. However by being in combat for so much they can feel when an attack is coming making them less able to be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Boxer is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique cannot use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know all Basics

As another person abruptly entered the scene Kojika stumbled, falling to the ground in his surprise. He hadn't been paying attention to his surroundings or where he'd been running to, but he couldn't help but feel lucky for that as the stranger seemed to be here to help. He watched, partially amazed at the way the other fought. What had been sloppy instinct and mostly accident on his end this stranger was doing with what appeared to be little thought and potentially deadly consequence. He scrambled backwards, further out of the way as the men that had not been attacked just now spread out to see what was going on. “What the fuck just happened?”
That was a sentiment Kojika could definitely relate to, but he wasn't really in the mood to question the situation too much. The second hit the man received seemed a little more thought out, and Kojika was once again torn between watching his abrupt savior or the one's still eyeing him. “Hey you, fuck off this is none of your business!”
His attention was firmly grabbed by the still angry men. Definitely angry, Kojika swallowed thickly and started to stand, his back against the wall. He was still torn between running and fighting. He hadn't really gotten any training, and this kid seemed to be leagues ahead of him, maybe even a ninja. The men were nothing more than thugs..the kid could take them.
“It seems you’re threatening this fellow behind me, and I find that unsettling, as a Karate Ka I cannot stand by while you ruffians do as you please.” Kojika watched as the kid went into a stance, but he decided not to run. This straight-forward kid seemed like the kind of person Taiyo would have liked. And besides, Kojika had started this fight to begin with. Kojika's train of thought cut off at the unpleasant voice forced itself between the teeth of the supposed leader of the thugs, “I’m going to cut your bitch ass up really nice like you see that will hopefully teach people to stay the fuck out of our business.”
Kojika's posture changed instantly, his mental 'Hold the fuck up, what'd you just say?' rising up but before he could take a step or say a word he saw the knife. His eyes went wide and sass caught in his throat as he saw the man come after the boy, yet before he could do anything the boy was moving. And he didn't have the words or understanding to explain what the heck had just happened but the thug was on the ground and if Kojika was sure of anything at that moment it was the sheer amount of This Dude Ain't Getting Up Any Time Soon that was going on.
With that the stranger seemed to be waiting, and with the odds better evened Kojika was surer than before he shouldn't leave this fight. He may even owe the dude his life, and despite the kids ability to kick his ass (he was certain of this) he took a step towards him.
"I don't know how much help I'll be, but there's three of them and two of us so why don't we take care of before the towns people throw a fuss?"
He couldn't see too well in the dark alley, but the kid didn't seem harmed at all from that scuffle. He was distracted from looking too closely as the man whose arm he'd broken earlier started speaking.
"That was just one of us at a time, do you really think we're not gonna pay you back for all this?" His voice was thick with anger and the other two at his side made sounds of agreement that reminded Kojika of the stray mountain dogs he'd seen running about.
On instinct he relaxed his posture, his shoulders twitching forward as he shifted his weight to balance evenly. His knees bent slightly, his right foot further ahead than the other and his torso turned to the side. He didn't spare another glance to the kid as he exhaled, remembering what it was like when the dogs attacked as a group.
All three of the men lunged forward, though they weren't in sync. As the first reached him, knife out, he leaned sharply back. The knife sliced across his shoulder but it wasn't deep, Kojika paid no mind to the burn of the pain and instead focused on bringing his foot up in just the right way. His foot curved around the mans ankle, sending him off balance and firmly into the ground. Without a seconds beat of hesitation he took a step to compensate for the space, using the momentum to bring his free foot down hard onto the fallen mans back.
"Hey are you ok?" His voice was quick as he swung his head around to see if the stranger was handling the other man alright. But before he could get an answer the man below him grabbed his leg and hauled him to the ground. He took a punch the the face just to return the blow with a kick to the mans shoulder. "Get offa me." His own voice was rougher as he growled at the man, kicking at him again until he let go. Anger flashed through him, drawing him towards the man and violence when he stopped himself. The man he'd taken on was leaned against the wall, holding his bleeding nose and appearing to have no further intention of fighting. Kojika sighed, he didn't to hurt him any more. He was done. He turned again towards the kid, ready to help if needed.

Shenjie felt his heart beat calmly pounding as he wondered if the fellow who was running would display enough courage to help him in the confrontation as he noticed that he could feel the fellow stepping forward. “I’m glad you’ve chosen to stand with me good sir,” Shenjie said as suddenly on of the three fellows seemed to be contemplating about how to continue forward as one of their pal had just been floored by a blind Karate Ka. "I don't know how much help I'll be, but there's three of them and two of us so why don't we take care of before the town’s people throw a fuss?” Shenjie heard the fellow state as Shenjie prepared for combat, thinking about some of the counters as he figured he could use the first fellow to throw him out of the way, but alas it was something that would be fairly difficult to pull off in the closed space, as he would need to throw them out towards the opening of the alley where the kid was. Shenjie threw a thumbs up to the fellow, not looking at him, but clearly pleased by his choice to stay as he prepared his second goutetsu stance, feeling the pressure as the two fellow came at him at once as he could feel the crude confrontation taking place behind him.

Shenjie was fairly impressed, as he could feel how the fellow dropped his center of gravity, making him harder to throw, seemingly by nature, but alas it was simply something that he must have developed over time. Shenjie quickly prepared to throw the first fellow as he knew that he would need a good grappling contact before he could do anything. If the weight was not just right, he might fuck it up, hurt himself, or kill the guy with a poorly executed throw. He threw a few jabs, establishing the range as the fellow backed up. Shenjie took that moment to step in and throw a Jourdan Sokutou Geri; Which was a front kick that used Shenjie’s range to knock the fellow back, allowing the second person to attempt a tackle as Shenjie grabbed onto the fellow’s jacket, using the clothing as a means to grapple, this dude didn’t know that he was his now.

Shenjie felt his body moving as he moved backwards, feeling the motion of the sacrifice throw as he now had the space to preform it. He needed to keep each one a good distance away so that he could take each one on, one at a time. Shenjie used his knee to create space as he placed the inside of his foot on the inseam of the fellow’s leg as he rolled his body backwards, using the rolling momentum to haul the fellow’s center of gravity over his body as he was clearly preforming a throw. The throw wasn’t anything too powerful, as Shenjie didn’t have lots of room to roll; however he could make the throw carry enough momentum to allow him enough time to get back up to confront the other fellow who was slowly recovering from the shock hat his kick had left in his body. Shenjie began to roll backwards, using his foot as leverage as he hauled the fellow off, launching him backwards letting him fall at his own rate as suddenly he heard someone speaking. "Hey are you ok?" Shenjie heard the fellow ask as he focused on the throw hearing the fellow land with a thud as he quickly jumped back up to his feet to prepare to combat the next fellow. “Yeah…I’m good.” Shenjie said calmly as the other fellow began to run towards him, swinging widely as Shenjie quickly stepped in using his body to side step as he grabbed the guy’s elbow and knocked him to the ground. Shenjie thought about his throw, wondering if it had been good enough to pass an exam; however he was still thinking about what he could improve. The point of leverage with the foot had been alright, but he needed more momentum.

Shenjie couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed as the fellow he had thrown earlier had decided he wanted a bit more and grabbed a board, swinging it over head downward towards Shenjie. Side stepping, using his rear left foot to side step circularly so that he could catch the wrist of the fellow with his right hand, Shenjie quickly threw an uppercut with his free left, letting the concussion shock the fellow as he quickly hauled the fellow over his shoulder to gain more distance as the second fellow was almost on top of him again. Shenjie used his feet, stepping back and maintaining rhythm as he had to fight the fellow, preparing a feinted strike, knowing this fellow was looking for a comma throw, since he had already fallen victim to such a technique. Shenjie grasped the fellow around the head, checking the right arm as he actually attempted to use Kubi Sumo to throw the fellow to the ground; however in the last moment, Shenjie quickly rolled backwards taking the fellow with him as he transitioned from Kubi Sumo to a Comma throw, launching the fellow on top of the other lackey.

Shenjie felt the throw complete as he felt the other fellow struggling with his one opponent. "Get offa me." Shenjie heard the fellow mumble as obvious he was having a hard time with his opponent. Shenjie was trying not to hurt his fellow’s too bad, and the comma throw was a decent way to launch them without doing something like leaving an opening for counter like some of his other throws. Shenjie thought about the circular motion and the way it worked as he exhaled making sure to continue the flow of the fight as he felt for the guy being thrown to make contact with the ground, where did the bitch land?

While Kojika fully faced the rest of the altercation he was met with the unpleasant surprise of a full grown man flying towards him. In a single moment of complete unadulterated exasperation he began to speak, attempting to brace for what was about to happen. "Son of a-"
Air rushed from his lungs in a violent gust as the other mans body made full impact. Unable to hold up the abrupt weight and momentum, his knees buckled and he fell back to the ground. Instinctually he grabbed onto the man, his body naturally trying to protect he other person. Mentally he knew he shouldn't give a single crap about this man, yet still he held on. 
A sharp, viciously pained intake of air dragged between his teeth as his head snapped suddenly against the ground. He felt his vision blur for a moment, the dizzyness staying even as his sight righted itself. The man he'd inadvertently taken the hit for hadn't been too disoriented, as Kojika had cushioned his landing. Now the man stood, scurrying further away from Kojika. He hadn't been expecting the man they'd attacked to help him at all, and was rather freaked out.
Through the pain Kojika tried to process what was happening, felt the cold dripping and trailing of blood along his neck from his head. Annoyance flashed through him, how that'd be a bitch to clean out, but quickly those irrational thoughts were forced from his mind as the man with the broken arm crouched down, his knee pressed into Kojika's collarbone to cut off his air. Kojika couldn't find it in him to curse, he lifted his own arm, trying to push the mans leg off of him to no avail.
"You two have caused us a lot of trouble tonight, you see." Kojika glared up at him, his teeth grit and heart beating quick in anger. The dizzy feeling had him more aggravated than anything and this only amplified how pissed off he was. He didn't have the air to retort, and instead spat at the man. The reprecussion was instant, the mans unbroken arm pulling back before snapping down against Kojika's head. Kojika bit back a groan, once again wondering why he'd gotten himself into this as the taste of blood sparked over his tongue.

Shenjie quickly jumped up, feeling the fellow he had thrown connect with the stranger he had been trying to protect. Whoops, Shenjie thought to himself as the first fellow he had kicked came right back at him this time with a bit more caution as he had been kicked pretty hard, and it sucks getting knocked back. The fellow approached, but Shenjie feinted, letting his back leg come about to knee height before bringing it back down, making the fellow think he was throwing another front kick. The move was to get him to think low as he lowered his hands as if to intercept the blow, making a feint of his own obviously as Shenjie stepped into what felt like was going to be a right straight punch. Slipping his head to the left to the inside, using the back of his right hand and the front of the left to push away the blow lightly as he turned his body, throwing a left elbow towards the fellows head as his fighting stance progressed twisting his hips with the blow as he aimed for about just above the eyes, thinking that the fellow would probably blink or duck when he noticed the strike, as it was the human nature to do things like that after all, well not for Shenjie, since he couldn’t see, but for most people it was.

Shenjie felt his body twisting with the strike the movement was fluid, following his principle of flowing like water. It was a perfect Karate Swinging elbow that he was adapting from Muay Thai to add diversity to his fighting arsenal. Shenjie felt the blow miss its target the fellow getting scared of the impending strike, and choosing to duck instead of take it head on. That was a vital mistake on his behalf as Shenjie used the turning momentum to develop into a reverse turning elbow which was a move he had already mastered from Karate. His elbow was now coming at the reverse end, aimed downward towards the back of the skull with his right elbow as he turned his body smacking the fellow clean on the back of the head. It was a well powered blow and could cause quite a bit of brain damage if he had not been holding back so much. It was this that suddenly clicked off when he heard the fellow with the broken arm beginning to speak to Koji. Shenjie was ready to take a bitch down for attempting to harm an innocent person to the point of death, it was beyond his code of honor. He was a defender of those who could not defend themselves after all.

Letting his elbow impact at the back of the fellow’s head, Shenjie took the move a step further, turning again, letting his left elbow follow through, and using a triple elbow combination by the end of the maneuver as he threw the third elbow of the three. This elbow as more like a cross between the turning elbow and the Muay Thai swinging elbow as it used the momentum from the other two to throw another elbow at the fellow’s back of the head. This downwardish Elbow collided with the fellow, knocking him to the ground as Shenjie was finally free to go engage the fellow choking Kojika, the clear sounds of gasping and struggling reminding Shenjie of who he was protecting. Shenjie felt his elbows power as he turned and dashed towards the fellow who was holding Koji down. “Get off this innocent man you swine.” Shenjie said in a proper form as she quickly grabbed the fellow by the back of his collar, twisting and pulling inward as to perform a rear Gi choke. It was the set up for his attack as he without hesitation prepared to attack the fellow with as much brute force as possible.

Shenjie quickly swung his left elbow (his free hand) in a horizontal flight pattern. He aimed dead on for the fellow’s temples, which was dangerous in friendly competition, but right now Shenjie was just going for what was most effective. Twisting his body with the blow, Shenjie aimed to hit the fellow with the boney point of his elbow, and not the meaty part of his arm. It was the ultimate goal of using an elbow for a strike. Shenjie felt his elbow connect square on target as he pulled back and threw another elbow towards the fellow’s head, hoping that he would lose consciousness after a few strikes. Shenjie kept striking and striking, five times over and over until the fellow’s weight was a bit limper than it was before. Shenjie didn’t want to see how much damage he had inflicted upon the guy, as it was likely that he was pretty messed up, his face and the side of his head probably covered with wounds, but he was alive, Shenjie could feel his heart faintly pumping as Shenjie quickly let go, grabbing the fellow by his broken clavicle and shirt, hauling him off Kojika with a Shoulder throw.

“Wow, that guy should have listened the first time,” Shenjie said as he extended his hand to help the fellow up. “You fought well, sorry about throwing that thug at you, knocking you over was not my intention.” Shenjie said clearly offering to help the fellow up as he waited for his response.
