Gin V.S. Riko

Riko looks at Gin with a smile, "Ready Gin." She says now with an interested look. She moves her blade in front of her and then smiles, she would enjoy this. She wanted him to do his best. If he killed her bugs she'd be hurt but that was the risk of fighting wasn't it. She glanced at her bugs for a moment, with a warm look like a mother looking at a child. Then she gazed back at Gin her eyes locking on him.

Noting the way Riko looked at her bugs, Gin sighs and nods. Well, fire jutsu was out of the question... Quickly performing a few handsigns, he grins at her. "Sorry if this seems repetitive, but let's try this the way it's supposed to be..." As he completes the handsigns, several black things start to fly in quick circles around them. As they continue, they speed up, take the shape of crows, and multiply, more and more joining them.

As Gin jumps back into the murder, the circle in which they had both been standing becomes like the eye of a hurricane. Surrounded by so many crows, Gin becomes invisible as he runs in circles with the crows. Activating his sharingan, he grins and forms another handsign.

After a few moments, Gin jumps out of the murder at Riko, kunai in hand, aiming at her back.

Riko looks ahead of her at the murder of the crows, but placed her sword against her back catching Gin's attack. She turns slowly toward him, with a look of utter surprise, "Crows again." She says with a smile, her blade held against the kunai in his hand. Her eyes drift to the crows, they were distracting her. Her blue eyes narrow with a confused look to them, and then she remembers Gin...

She shouldn't space out like that, her hand slides along the handle of the blade, and then she jumps back slightly, pulling space between them. His last attack had been so close to hitting her... He was getting better that was for sure. She motioned her left hand, and then bugs moved around slightly, she listened to their hums.

She puts her position into a defensive stance.

Shrugging, Gin smiles as he quickly jumps backwards into the murder. Well, he'd gotten somewhat close that time... As he continues to run, he pulls one of his giant shuriken off of his back and connects it to the wire on his wrist. Still running, Gin throws the shuriken at Riko.

Riko see the shuriken a little to late to bat it down, she pulls the sword up more, and then lets the two connect. She slides back slightly, and then looks at the crows for a moment. She gazes at the crows, their wings were deafening, the flap, flap, flap... She gazes toward her bugs for a moment, with a smile. "Do better than that Gin!" She calls out brightly.

Smiling at her words, Gin pulls the shuriken back and quickly changes directions. Behind her now, Gin jumps into the air and throws the shuriken down at her back.

Riko wasn't prepared for this one but went down to one knee when the blow landed. She looked surprised, that had hurt. Her hand moves to the shuriken in her back and she yanks it out, simply. She pulls herself to her feet, and then smiles, it'd take more than that to stop Riko Suzumebachi.

Surprised that it had actually hit her, Gin doesn't pull the shuriken back immediately. She just took a heavy two foot shuriken to the back. Landing on the ground, he finally puts the shuriken on his back with it's twin and calls to her through the crows. "Wow!... You okay?!"

Riko looks at the crows with annoyed look, flapping, flapping, FLAPPING! She slaps her hands together, and a large swarm of bugs fly around the crows exploding. Any crow that was near them would be destroyed, "Flap now." She hisses towards the crows. Her blue eyes reflected annoyance, she looks over her shoulder now to her back and then smiles grimly. "Just great Gin, couldn't be better." She says amused, and then stretches her arms. Which makes the pain in her back more visible. Work off the pain... She thought now smiling.

Jumping to the side, Gin grins at the explosions. "Looks like this won't last much longer... I should be able to get one last attack out of it... Better make it good..." Forming another handsign, three Gins appear in a triangle around Riko inside the wall of crows. Each of the three Gins lunge at the girl with a kunai.

As they do so, Gin jumps into the air above them and brings the tiger handsign to his mouth, firing a great fireball jutsu down at Riko while she's distracted.

Riko feels the heat above, but her bugs react before she can forming a giant wall above her head. She looks at the three gins, and then blocks two of the kuani's but gets stabbed by the third. She looks at the Gin that had laid the attack on her and then smiled. Another wound, he was doing better.

Another hit! Landing back in the crows, Gin frowns. He was glad he'd managed two hit, but he was hitting a little girl! Jumping out of the crows, he lands on a nearby branch and forms a few handsigns. When he's finished, he leans forward and blows a mist towards Riko, covering the entire area in a thick fog as the crows finally fade.

Taking out another cigarette, Gin jumps back so he's completely out of the fog. Surveying Riko through the mist as he lights it and takes another drag. "My second one today... Although, this one has an ulterior motive. Would you like to know something interesting about this fog, Riko?"

Riko looks at the fog, "What is some how related to your smoking habits?" She asked lightly. Then she tilted her head the side, "Please tell me." She says now sounding curious, her blue eyes hold an uncertain look to them was she going to have her ass kicked? She hoped not, twice was far too many times to be hit. How many had she landed on him...None, Now she looked bad. >_>

Laughing, Gin takes another drag. "I suppose you could say that... You see, this fog is somewhat of a specialty Sashimasu and I share. The second it comes in contact with something hot enough, it, and and thus everything within it,..." He is smile grows as he takes another drag. The fog had spread quickly, surrounding Riko and a good area around her.

"...are quickly engulfed in flame." Flicking a bit of ash onto the ground below, Gin takes one last drag before tossing the lit cigarette into the mist, causing a huge explosion to quickly rip towards Riko.

Riko's first thought? Shit... She stared at the flames but didn't know how to avoid this. Being burned was not on her agenda although. She used a swarm of bugs to protect her as she walks forward. To the river she goes! The bugs were dying off fast but she reached the water before it got bad in the death tool. She kept her bugs close to her and then dove into the cold depths of the water. Her wounds basically screamed in agony and she she closed her eyes. She opped her head up long enough to get air then went back under. As she went under she formed a clone and then moved toward the shore double the one making three.

Now she had her and three clones, they all moved from the shore to the tree tops. The orginal Riko remained in a tree closest to the river. She looked unsure of the flames. That had been too close for her to feel safe. She had said she wouldn't kill him. But she wondered if he had been aiming to kill her...

She looks almost sad for the bugs she just lost. But she'd unleash her true power on Gin if he kept this up. The other clones were merely for her to catch her breath and distract Gin.

Watching the flames, Gin grins. Normally, this would worry someone. But, he had complete confidence that Riko wouldn't even get burned. Embarrassing as it may be, she was much better than him at this. Waiting to for Riko's next move, Gin pulls both of this shuriken off of his back with a little "Click!" as he attaches their wires.

Spotting the clones and Riko, he wonders if she was really trying to distract him... The sharingan was pretty rare, even these days... There was a pretty good chance she didn't know... Ah, well... He was almost out of chakra as it was, and he should probably take it easy on her now, anyway... It wasn't really nice of him to use that last jutsu...

Using his sharingan, he looks at each of the clones carefully in turn, finding the one with bugs. But... There weren't as many... Gin realizes that he'd killed some of them with his last attack... She obviously loved her bugs... Saddened, he calls down to her. "I'm sorry, Riko... I didn't mean to kill them..." His arms hang loose as he looks down at her. "We can stop now, if you want..."

Riko glares up at him, her blue eyes hold a dangerous look. She dismisses the clones, and then looks at her blade chakra was forming on her hand like a ninjutsu, but she placed it inside the blade. Riko was no longer playing, hurt as she was, and losing bugs. She stared at him with a look of confusion. "Stop?" She says with a smile.

"Don't be sorry I risked them myself. If they weren't so stupid in defending me right away." She said and then her eyes hold a sad look to them. She shakes her head, "Prepare yourself Gin." Riko says springing to another tree, then to another and another....

She keeps with up, then ends up in a tree branch above Gin, "Because I am no longer going to go easy on you." She says as she swings the massive blade at him while dropping behind him.

Blocking the massive blade with one of his shuriken, Gin's eyes widen as the branch snaps under the weight of the blow and he falls downwards. Swinging his other arm, he throws the second shuriken before he hits the ground with a thud.

Riko lands on the branch below, her eyes narrow. She blocks the blade her movements becoming faster with the added chakra to the blade. It was as light as feather. She moves her blade toward the shuriken bashing it back down right at Gin. Her eyes hold an almost animalistic look to them for a moment. She was like a mother bear, in destroy mode.

As Gin hits the ground, he sees the shuriken rush towards him and quickly rolls to the side. The shuriken lands right where his head had been with a soft thud. Crap... He'd really pissed her off... "Well, these are dead weight..." Clipping off the shuriken, he jumps up and backwards, throwing the other one at Riku.

As soon as it's out of his hand, Gin forms a handsign. Skidding to a stop, he faces Riko as his fists and forearms are enveloped in cutting wind. This was probably one of his last jutsu... And she was pissed, and just getting started... "This... isn't good..."

Riko looked at the shrukien coming toward her and slashed it away again, watching Gin, with a frown. Then she rocks on her heels on the branch and lets herself free fall from the branch. She closes her eyes as she twists her body in mid air landing in a crouch. Pain radiated from her back, she'd have to finish him off fast...

With a sigh, Gin darts forward as fast as he can. It wasn't the greatest idea in the world... Not even remotely... But he'd promised her round 2, whether she was pissed or not... "THIS... IS.... STUPID!!!" Lunging forward, he quickly punches with both fists in rapid succession.

Riko's eyes widen in surprise as she gets hit right in the stomach. She was stunned and fell flat on her ass. She stared up at him for a moment before, tilting her head. She moved her hand to her sword holding it firmly. "Stupid how so?" She asks after a moment.

Wind around his fists dying, Gin blinks at her in surprise. "Er... Wow... I really expected you to cut me in half or something..." Laughing nervously, he offers her his hand. "Eheh... Sorry about that..."

Riko looks at Gin, "Ehm I said I wasn't going to kill you, Gin." She said smiling slightly, her back ached, she closed her eyes sighing. "That fire move was good." She murmurs, taking his hand now, grinning and pulling herself up.
