Ultimate battle!

[Cadoc]

Yoko stood in the middle of a field, no other objects in sight what so ever just grass as far as the eye could see, this truly was the wilderness she sought! She possessed all of her items on her person, in the usual places. The weather was normal.

Observation 305, min distance start 183m (+5/3 meters.)

Kuhaia was more than a little bewildered. A very tiny woman stood in the middle of an expansive outcropping - so tiny was she, that she could probably barely see over the near endless 'grass as far as the eye could see'. The grass was up to a two meters in height in its thickest patches and each of the girls movements would most likely be pre-empted by the swish of elongated flora being moved by and spiking their surroundings. Now, she stood still, she said nothing, she wasn't even facing the same direction as Kuhaia, nor did she seemed primed and ready for any sort of combat.


It was normal weather here, and in the great Wilderness of Mist, this meant a rainy and perpetually moisture filled stretch of green with temperatures cold enough to suspect winter was near. Every few seconds, creatures swept into the upper atmosphere by coastal storms mils away would fall down in a rain of baby frogs or lizards or fish. Though Kuhaia stood facing his opponents back, he remained wary of her supposed aloofness. He'd been sitting in the grass - he had to assume he'd been hidden from her sight - before she had suddenly 'appeared', merely standing in the middle of the same field.

She was only a few (5) meters away. He checked; Yes, he'd brought every single item and weapon he owned. Kuhaia would place his right hand tenderly on the hilt of Mwezi Giza at his left side if the girl remained oblivious to his presence - otherwise, he would be patient, and watch her.

Yoko noted the breathing of a humanoid in the nearby area, she prepared for battle by taking a fast five-foot step away from them fading into the grass. Whilst doing so she fired off three arrows at the opponent.

380 stealth with -20 on opponent's observation, after initial check -50 to snipe.

Before he got the chance to place his hands on Mwezi Giza, the girl raised her (right) leg, preparing to move! It seemed she had noticed him, though she still never turned around to actually look at him. Bizarre! But since she was only taking a step, and he was only five meters away, while watching her, the instant her body shifted out of stillness, Kuhaia responded to the onset of her motion with motion of his own - his soul moved to the max distance her right leg could conceivably carry her in timing with the girl's arm raise to fire a weapon.


Thwip,thwip, thwip. The silly girl had tried to shoot something at him. Kuhaia reasoned that since she took the shot without turning around, without looking at him to actualize her aim, without ever pinpointing his location, she must be using some other sense to notice and respond to him. She would probably have had the skill to actually hit him - without looking - but for some reason, she seemed not to know what aiming was. Though whatever was shot seemed to be 'at him', at least vaguely, she seemed to be trying to hit the area over the top of his head - or at least, where 'over the top of his head' used to be.


He was now almost on top of her (less than a meter), and though all of her was hazy and difficult to make out, she'd decided to fade into the grass without doing so silently. Though her stealth ability made her own form far less obvious,(nearly invisible, sneaky sneaky) she was still physical matter moving through the world, and the world would respond to her. Kuhaia had only to be observant of their environment, which he was, and once the girls arm was done firing off her ineffective barrage, Kuhaia would smile, simultaneously reaching into his pack.


He decided to play with her. He would watch (with great difficulty) the grass she obscured with the same talent that should hide her in it, and wait.

Due to her capacity to hear her opponent, the youth noted their movement and responded in kind, with yet another five-foot step whilst she fired off three more arrows at the opponent's chest, the centre of their chest to be exact. Then she readied a further round of arrows, which she would fire off at the opponent's chest once again, should they move.

[Moon]

More movement. He couldn't tell exactly what she was doing until her five-foot step (the one she took while Kuhaia was only three-feet away) nearly barreled her right into him! For some reason she hadn't stepped 'away', and though she seemed to have some otherworldly sense of location, her accuracy left little to be desired. Though Kuhaia was young, he was almost twice the tiny woman's size, and as she would have to readjust after their collision if she had any hope of actually aiming (this time, it seeemed, at Kuhaia's chest) she would practically be handing him the opportunity to counter attack on a silver platter.

A sword would appear,a cheap chakra copy of Mwezi Giza, materializing as if from thin air and with no sign or signal of its existence beyond the glow of its created energy. It formed securely, tip downwards, jammed forcefully between the cocking stirrup, riser, and cables of the womans crossbow, the sword's hilt would impede the arrow retention spring completely. Due to the sword's placement at these pivotal areas (and the fact that bizarrely enough, Kuhaia could literally turn himself into the exact same type of weapon and thus knew their construction and design specifications perfectly) Kuhaia knew that, at least while he maintained the swords existence, the trigger of the girl's crossbow could be pulled and yet nothing would fire from it.

The instant he was certain the weapon was rendered temporarily useless, the item he'd now successfully retrieved from his pack would be in hand (hopefully hidden from the girl's view), and his eyes would flicker to life with the power of his blood. No more haziness. No more guessing her location from weapons she couldn't similarly conceal. Before his Tasukeru, all would be revealed as he cautiously readied for the final maneuver.
