she gasped lightly turning around to face him putting a hand to her mouth "I..Im sorry I didnt mean to um..are you ok?" obviously she didn't notice that the white shirt under her sweater had been torn just yet, it seems her mind was elsewhere.

"I'm fine, simply suprised you striked back like that. Your ruthless attacking an oppenent who didn't go in for the kill, an intreasting trait." I tell her as I raise one hand and hold the other behind my back as if I was saying bring it on.

she smiled lightly gripping her staff she thrust it into the ground using it to lift herself over him quickly landing behind him, her body spun around almost in a fluid motion striking the back of his knees, attempting to knock him on the ground.

Maybe she wasn't so slow I thought as I drop to my knees before the impact using the arm behind my back to block and catch her attack as I then force it down as I roll back over her and into a standing postion as I've taken her off balence and thrown her to the ground.

Before she could stop her staff, he had caught it and within an instant she was thrown to the ground coughing a little her head spun a little hitting it on the soft ground hard, whincing she rubbed her head. Her vision finally focused again, looking up at him she smiled "You're really good, and I dont say that very often"

"Why thank you, I feel the same about you, but that's to be expected from such an atheltic girl growing up in a Dojo. So how about a match with a prize at the end besides our pride?" I ask her as I let her get up waiting for her response.

she stood taking of her sweater, just having the white slightly torn tank top on now, tosses it on the sand stretching a little "Sounds fun...but whats the prize...?" she looked to him a little curious to what he would say.

"Hmmm, well how about a request. Whoever wins will have to do one request that the other states as long as it's not illegail mind you. So one wish you could say within our power." I tell her.

she blushed slightly looking away few thoughts crossed her mind, she shook her head forcing them away "Alright I accept your challenge. So how do we determine the winner of this little game?"

I smirk at her. "How about Rock, paper, Scisors?" I ask her trying hard not to laugh.

she tried to contain her laughter "You want to leave it up to chance..." puts a hand on her lip looking up at him she shivered lightly from the smallest breeze, it was a bit cold out and she had only her tank top to keep her warm up top.

"It's obvious we both have great skill, if we were to fight perhaps it would simply come down to how much luck we have, that is a factor in fighting, of course we could always do a test putting our agility, endurance, and strength to the test." I tell her.

"Well then a test should be fine, but what to do" she looked around, there werent many things just laying about, a few bolders the lake of course and the forest was close by. "Ok...how about...for strength we use some of these rocks, like...who can break it into the most pieces with one strike" she looked to him hoping she didnt sound completely stupid.

"Okay, sounds good to me." I walk over to the rock and close my eyes for a second as I bring my palm down and shatter the rock into bits, releasing some sort of magical power while doing so, if she was as experinced as I thought she might think of it as some sort of chi attack perhaps or something simlar. I then make a gesture releasing the spirt of the earth so that it would not be hurt by these actions.

She watched him closely then gulped seeing the rock shattered to bits, walking up to hers slowly "hmm..lets see.." she crouched down slightly running her hands very gently over the rough surface, stopping one finger over a certain spot. "Ah..here we go..." she placed the staff over that spot consentrating her strength into one blow, thrusting it down on the spot, nothing happens. She took a step back, the sound of cracking was heard when suddenly it fell to pieces, though they are slightly larger then his.
