The Xocoyatl sat alone in the primeval forest brooding over a small pool, black with cold, nestled in a hollow beneath a cedar tree with her long sword stretched across her knee so she could sharpen the blade with a whetstone. Even though the old sword needed no such care it gave the woman some measure of peace as she sorted through her thoughts. The led tinted red limbs of the swooping cedar branches stretched overhead metaphorically like the cobweb shadow cast over his thoughts.

The companion short sword, curved like its longer brother, was fitted into a sash tied around Xocoyatl's waist. Despite the cold she wore only a thin silk blouse that was folded over itself across her full chest. For pants she had silk trousers that moved like clouds around her legs. Rough leather boots peaked out from beneath the soft, lavish fabric, hinting at the vixen's true nature. She still felt alien wearing so much clothes, but she was grateful for the cloak hanging from her shoulders and keeping the cold off.

He did not know how he ended up here, in the middle of the god damned forest without a map or at least a compass. The last thing Shinzui remembered was being at someone's birthday party at the "local" pub. He couldn't remember who, but when free booze was involved, did it really matter? After some time, he had picked up some good looking chick and soon after they went off to "frolic" in the woods. After some damn good "frolicking", Shinzui remembered suddenly feeling sleepy and acting on those desires. He could remember how much time had passed between that and waking up, but it was midday by the time he did. Upon waking up, he found that his "frolicking" companion was missing, he had a weird aftertaste in his mouth that was not either alcohol or female flesh, and there was this weird scar on his lower back as well.

This was three hours and an full flask on gin ago. Now Shinzui was cold, thirsty, and somewhat hungry. And what's more, the temperature was dropping and the wind picking up so it was imperative that he should find some shelter, preferably with water, soon. After walking for another hour or so, Shinzui finally happened upon a small pool beneath a big cedar tree. Speeding up his walk, Shinzui soon reached the edge of the pool, his twin sabers resting comfortably on his waist, the twin revolvers nestled underneath his arms, and the flame pistol hidden behind his back and underneath his shirt.

Kneeling down to the water, he did not care that it looked black and instead quickly quenched his thirst. After wiping his mouth, Shinzui looked around looking around for a place to sleep in during the upcoming night. Instead he found a rather cute looking girl sitting in a hollow in the cedar tree. While her silken garments revealed a decent amount, Shinzui went a step further and, with a help from his powers, got a full, unhindered by anything, look at her body and liked what he saw. "Hello there Miss, you wouldn't happen to know the way to the nearest town, would you?" Shinzui asked stepping over to her and bowing low, hat sweeping the ground, briefly glancing at the long and short swords, his voice as charming as he could manage given the circumstances.

The man who approached dazedly smelled of bad decisions. With a haggard appearance he dropped before the dark pool and desperately drank the inky water. Xocoyatl said nothing. She placed the whetstone and sheathed her sword but her hand did not leave the handle. Even seated upon her knees she could draw the weapon and attack with devastating effect faster than she could with the blade naked in her hand. He did not smell dangerous but she was on guard anyway. Even with weapons many men thought it advantageous to attack a woman they came upon alone in the woods.

She felt his eyes upon her like greedy hands. He smiled in a way Xocoyatl had only seen on men who were sure they were going to get exactly what they wanted. His handsome visage probably excused his rudeness to most, and Xocoyatl didn’t take it personally. Besides he smelled of sex so it was bound to be on his mind. Other than that the common stink of a city clung to him, subtly hidden beneath his masculine scent.

“I wasn’t aware there was a town near here.” Her simply reply was left empty of further explanation.

Shinzui scratched his head as the pretty girl in front of him shot down his hope about finding the town as the latter calmly sheathed her sword, apparently not at all afraid of a random armed man appearing before her and asking her questions. And while he would have enjoyed to "frolic" with her, it was not in the top five things to do right now. If the past few hours of walking through the woods, he couldn't have covered more than 10 miles or so, and with this girl mentioning her unawareness of a town, his hope that he had not traveled while asleep had been dashed almost completely. Granted the girl could be lying, but Shinzui did not detect any change in her body temperature that would indicate that she did.

"If there isn't a town, then could you please tell me where I am and point me in the direction of the nearest settlement, regardless of its size." Shinzui questioned the girl again, hoping that her next response would be more satisfactory.

“I came from the sea.” Xocoyatl said her weapon at the ready at her side. Narrowed eyes stabbed at the stranger. As a pirate she travelled often and was rarely in the same place for long. Having been borne on an island isolated from the rest of the world Xocoyatl knew almost nothing about the geography of the wide world. She contented herself with exploring the wild places to which she was much more accustomed to than the city life of these off-landers. “This is my first visit to these shores.”

Shinzui frowned at the girl's comment about her travels. He was about to ask her what brought her to these shores, but then he figured that he didn't really care to know her life history at this very moment, instead hoping to find a place to spend the night and then continue searching for a settlement in the morning. However, since it was getting late, Shinzui did not feel like searching for another place to sleep if there was a good one right in front of him. "Since it's getting dark and all, could I possibly share the hollow with you. I promise to be gone in the morning." Shinzui asked sweetly, a smile on his lips.

Xocoyatl considered the man a moment. A wind snuck into the hollow and smothered her with his offensive odor. No, she had come to trust some of these far-landers but she couldn’t afford to be reckless. It was getting late sure, but there was at least an hour or two before dark. If he put himself to the task he could find a place to rest, or even the civilized world from which he came.

“No, I travel and sleep alone.”

Shinzui's eyebrow twiched slightly at the girl's responce. "The fuck you mean, you travel and sleep alone? I ain't going to search the area anymore till morning. So you better change your mind or else." Shinzui said calmly, trying to keep the anger out of his voice for the moment. However, he still drew one of his blades, raising his other hand closer to his chest to make it look like a fighting stance, but instead intending to be closer to his pistol.

As soon as the man’s voice sharpened so did Xocoyatl’s defenses. Popping up onto her feet easily while he is in midsentence she stands firmly and ready with both feet on the ground and her knees bent slightly. She keeps her left foot forward half a step and her right and left hands near her left hip, fingers curled around the sheath and handle. Her wild eyes narrow to dagger points honed on his hands as he threatened her.

“Or else what?”

"Or else you'll find your body rotting away at the bottom of this hole tomorrow morning." Shinzui's face twisted into a psycho smile as he twitched his head towards the black pool. "So it's your choice, either let me spend the night here, or I'll run you through with several of my swords, and trust me, it won't be pleasant." Shinzui continued, pointing his barbed sword at the girl, who by now was already standing on her feet in what appeared to be a defensive position. He didn't want to ruin such great beauty by killing the girl, but he had to do what he had to do to survive the night, since he had no idea where he was.

Xocoyatl inched forward while he spoke, her eyes still deftly watching for any signs of violence. He already had one sword naked in his hand and the other hovered around his chest, close to his body instead of forward defensively. There was something that gave this man confidence, but she just could not be certain exactly what that might be. Sure she was a woman alone in the woods, and that would normally give a man confidence, but she was poised with her deadly sword. Either was a complete fool or he had some kind of secret weapon to which he had not yet let on. Only a fool ran into a beasts den. She had to lure out this source of confidence and then strike this man down.

“Come thrust into me then.” She goaded, the corner of her ripe, red lips curving into a small smile.

((ooc: I’m not going to attack while you have a gun :p. If I step into attack you can draw and shoot me easily and I’ll be more or less defenseless ^_^.))

Shinzui's smile widened as the girl apparently decided to fight him, whether or not to the death was entirely up to her. The pirate also noticed the girl's blade was shorter than his, which boosted his confidence even more, not that he really needed it. Analyzing the situation quickly, Shinzui deduced that even if the girl managed to get inside his sword range, the revolver would definitely end her life before she could do him any harm. With that in mind, Shinzui dashed at the female, slashing the blade in his right hand from left to right horizontally at her chest. The swing was rather half-hearted, more designed to lure the girl into his sword zone than to actually hurt her.

She lets him charge. When a mad bull charges it is best to just stay out of its way. But she could not this time, not when the beast attacked her home. Besides, she had a mind to Cut this ruffian. Already poised for her attacked before he even charges Xocoyatl unleashes a devastating Iai jutsu technique called Nuki-Dashi Age. Simultaneously Xocoyatl shifts the seated sword as a single unit forward slightly and finally draws by pulling back on the saya and returning it to its original position. In a single fluid cut the blade is unsheathed and guided in diagonal motion to rise from the left to the right. As the sword comes out Xocoyatl’s right foot reaches forward, half a step ahead of her left.

Iai jutsu is the art of drawing and striking in a single motion. Because of the friction of the sword against the sheath being released as the cut begins, an Iai jutsu is faster than any other swing. At the conclusion of the draw her arm should fully extended to the right side of the front of her body, with the ha pointed outwards at a 45 degree angle, with the arm held slightly higher than shoulder level, and the kissaki hangs suspended in line with her chin. Immediately after her blade leaves the saya Xocoyatl’s left hand will release the top of the saya as well.

The Nuki-Dashi Age should slice upwards towards the inside of her opponent’s forearm, just beneath the elbow, as his slashing attack begins. Having seen the position of his sword as he charged tips his hand, and as she was already fully prepared to preform her attack beforehand, it allows her to overcome the disadvantage of having to react to her opponent’s maneuver. At the same time as his sword begins to slice in at her left side Xocoyatl’s sword slashes outwards, being naturally faster due to its smaller size, combined with the added speed of the Nuki-Dashi Age technique, her attack should strike his forearm before his sword can cut into her left side. Furthermore, the advantage of his longer sword’s reach is negated by Xocoyatl’s aim. Attacking his sword arm brings her target closer, at the same time as he offers up his arm, and thus negates his reach advantage.

Xocoyatl aims her swing not at the arm specifically, but instead aims at the right side of her opponent neck. There is no need to aim at his arm because the man's attack brings his own arm into the path of her Nuki-Dashi Age as it cuts upwards towards his head. The outside swing at Xocoyatl's side leaves his entire body compeltely defenseless from every direction. A horizontal swing such as that is particularily fool hardy against a Nuki-dashi technique because of the motion required for the man's horizontal cut attempt. Essentially the hand, and arm, lead the motion until the point of contact with the target where the hand and sword become evenly forward, only after the sword passes into and through the target does the blade actually take the lead. This grants an enormous amount of power but leaves the body voulnerable to attack, which is why such techniques are used only on exposed areas of an enemies defense. By abandoning traditional martial arts wisdom the attacker sacrifices his arm for the attempt to strike an enemy.

While his swing was half-hearted, the girl's definitely was not. As Shinzui's blade drew close to her body, the girl's own sword was rapidly drawn from it's sheath, intending to cut Shinzui in half from bottom left to top right, or at least cleave his arm in two. Thankfully the bladed guard on Shinzui's sword managed to block the girl's blade. However, there was more power behind her swing than his, and as the girl's blade connected with his, he almost lost his grip on it, jumping back several feet so as to get out of her immediate range and recover his grip on the sword. "So she can fight, or at least draw, properly." Shinzui smiled, welcoming the challenge. Regaining his balance, Shinzui pointed his sword upward at a 45 degree angle, the usual defensive stance, towards the girl before drawing his revolver with his left hand and pointing it at the girl's chest. "Dodge this." he whispered and pulled the trigger.

The Nuki-Dashi Age is the perfect attack to continue her assault. The two weapons clang together very loudly, but the thunder is only a precursor to the coming storm. It was very clear that he had never faced an Iai jutsu master. She steps forward with her left foot, accelerating the necessary amount to follow her opponent as he makes his hasty retreat. It would foolish of her to let him re-gain the reach advantage, so as he moves backwards she comes forward. His jump is pursued immediately and because he is jumping there is no chance he will be able to dodge in either direction until he lands, and by that time she will be upon him in mid attack.

While he retreats the man tries to regain a steady grip on his sword, and without that an effective assault cannot be achieved. Just in case there is some surprise waiting for her Xocoyatl attacks cautiously. In a contest between man and beast nothing is certain, and during a fight a warrior constantly walks along the edge of a sword. One falter and it would be certain death for her.

As she accelerates forward the man is regaining his grip and maneuvering into a lazy Hasso-no Kamai. At the same time as his sword is moving the man also reaches into his coat with his off hand, though what the motion call produce is irrelevant because during that same Xocoyatl’s sword is moving. His strategy is to retreat while regrouping his sword, then he will aim his gun and fire. He will never get that chance because by the time he should have pulled the gun and fired he should be dead.

His sword goes up her sword comes down. More precisely Xocoyatl, at the end of her Nuki-Dashi Age, turns her wrist clockwise enough that the Ha, or blade, of her weapon is remained at her opponent. In the same moment she slices down and across at her opponent’s torso on the opposite side of his sword arm. This means that it maximizes the distance in which his loosely held sword would have to move in order to block her follow up attack. Since her attack has less distance to go to cut the opponent than his sword has to move to block the attempt, and he has the disadvantage of having to see and react to the attack before his motion even begins, there is zero chance he will be able to block her attack with his sword.

At the same time as his retreat ends, and he re-grips his sword, but before he is finished pulling his gun, Xocoyatl’s attack should cut him across the gut from his left to right. While she cuts she lowers her body by bending at the knees, now with her left foot forward. At the same time as she cuts Xocoyatl releases the grip on her Saya and begins to move her left hand forward at shoulder level.
