*SMASH* Damon crashed into the wall, a black sword in his right hand, panting as he fell to the ground. He was fighting...Himself?! "This just isn't going to cut it." The other Damon said, before blasting the one on the ground with a dark blast. The first one faded into darkness, now obviously nothing other than one of Damon's usual shadow copies. This wasn't enough. This wasn't something he could test his power against properly. When he fought himself, he had to control the copy AND himself, it was like playing chess against yourself. He might as well not even be trying. He shook his head, and formed a chair, sitting in it. He covered his forehead with his hand, in frustration. |

5:30 A.M. The History Teacher Assistant has just arrived at the tower to begin her early training. Dressed in her Yukata, the miko steps into the Light and Darkness Tower. Kaede did not plan to walk into the Light and Darkness tower before this morning. However, she could already imagine a ton of complaints from the Aeons asked as soon as she enters the water tower. The lingering scent of blood from her wound this morning is still around her, even though she has tried really hard to heal it and bandage it up. At least, thank goodness, the blood is not seeping anymore. Precisely because of that, however, she could only imagine how much the Aeons would complain about her training by telling her to rest up, if she so decides to train in the water tower. Kaede couldn't think of anything better than doing the bandaging up herself, for questions will definitely be asked at the Hyakuji Hospital, and that'd only cause worries among people who know her: with a wound as deep as the one she has on her shoulder, she would definitely not be able to leave without a half day or so. That means she has to miss school, and there will be nobody who doesn't know such a thing happened. For one, she is not sure about how Takamachi sensei would feel if she was absent, but if Chizu and Damon knew about this, there will be no end to this. She knew that those two seemed to be having a hard time recently, too. The least that she needs is to add worries to their plate. The scroll is now back to where it was supposed to be. Had her mother not wanted to check on the scroll with some family documents, she would not have taken it out with her so late at night, or, rather, so early in the morning. She woke up at 11 pm and traveled all the way back home, then back to town by 3 am, all while wearing her miko uniform so to suppress the Jyaki from the scroll. Yet, she was still traced down by somebody, and almost got killed by that said somebody. Kaede shook her head and opened the door. She wasn't able to determine who that person was, either, except for the fact that the opponent was a miko who knew shadowmancy and controls shikigami. As far as the lady herself was concerned, she herself doesn't know how to use shikigami for anything, nor does she know of anyone who can do so. Immediately after she opened the door, she regretted it. As she has expected, Damon was training. And, to make things worse, he was training with himself. It almost made Kaede guilty that she intruded his training by bringing with her a silly question. Why would Damon ever know whether there's a shadowmancer who controls shikigami? She shook her head, and watched Damon, as he blasted a shadow copy apart. Would he even benefit from that sort of training? This is just like playing chess with yourself! Without a second thought, the miko raised her left hand, which held a yumi, and brought her right hand up to to the tsuru, and pulled the string back. The middle finger of the yotsugake let go, and the tsuru made a sound. Even though the bow was not loaded, a blast has been fired. A thin, thin slice of water spreads the air, and quickly freezes into a sharp ice knife. The knife quickly cuts towards Damon's heart, just like how an arrow would have attacked him. Only that, instead of an arrow that Kaede would have no control to, the ice is something that Kaede can quickly evaporate into air, if Damon happens not to be able to notice her. |

Damon turned quickly, hearing the sound of the arrow shot. It was one he'd heard many times before, so he could guess the source of it. Damon's right hand moved from his face to the path of the arrow, a black circle forming over his palm, acting as a shield. The arrow stuck, causing it to shatter and fade onto nothingness. Well. That was close. "Good morning to you too." Damon said. It was surprising to see Kaede dressed like she was. Especially this early in the morning. He himself was in very informal wear, having stayed the night in his tower. Again. These days, Damon spent more time cramped up in his office than in his own dorm room. Right now he just had on a pair of grey sweatpants and a simple white T-shirt. His hair was slightly unkempt, as was to be expected. "THAT was a very nice shot." He said, with a slightly tired looking smile. If Damon hadn't been so used to the sound he would have been completely open. He was confident that he wasn't going to be killed by the attack. Kaede had more control than THAT. He stood up and snapped his fingers, the curtains around the room opening up to let the sunlight in, what little there was. "What brings you out here this early, Kaede?" He asked, as he stood up from the chair. He was by now means opposed to it, always glad to have her in the tower. Still, her being here so early and so formally was odd. |

Kaede lowered her Yumi, as Damon opens the curtain with the snap of his finger. She grins tiredly, feeling the pain on her right shoulder already. She could feel the wound starting to tense up and ache, even just by the motion of lifting up to shoulder-level. The wound was indeed deep. She could see the tiredness on Damon's face, and she couldn't help but to frown upon it. He spent the whole night up and about again? Or did he just got up early to train? She had a sleepless night, but that, she couldn't have helped. There is no way that Damon had a similar trouble that she had. To make things worse, only God knows what may happen in class for any Hyakuji High School related class. If he doesn't go into class with full-alert, it can easily get dangerous. "Good morning to you too, Damon." Kaede says as she walks further into the light and darkness tower, her brows tightens as she sees exactly how tired Damon looks. "There was something in my mind, and I was going to chat to you about something I was worried about..." She suddenly hopped away from Damon and pull a distance from him. As she dashes backwards, she raises her Yumi and pulled the empty tsuru again, this time shooting 3 ice-arrows at him at the same time. "... but I decided against it." Kaede couldn't resist the urge to attack Damon. There was a few reasons in it. First, Damon would not get anywhere by playing tricks with his shadows by himself. Second, she herself needs to get an understanding on how to counter shadows. Although the shadows that Damon control is rather different, by fighting against Damon, she may find a way to counter the tricks of the shadowmancer miko next time she was attacked. Third, Damon needs to know that he cannot push himself to his limit all the time, especially if he was fresh out of training and somehow he was attacked by an enemy just as strong, or even stronger than him, and, more often than not, those people can pull out nasty tricks such as changing their appearance to another person's. |

Oh, so she was here to talk about something that was worrying her? Whatever it was, it couldn't have been good. Wait, she just jumped back. She was readying her bow and started to- Oh this was going to be painful. Damon's shadow rose up around his arm, forming a shield and blocking the arrows, this one actually somewhat capable of doing so. Oh boy. He did something wrong again. Whenever he did something wrong, Either Chizu or Kaede did something like this. Craaaap, this meant Kaede noticed he was tired. But this time it wasn't his fault! At any rate, he knew how this was going to go. "So I see, good thing I didn't put my uniform on yet." Damon said, from behind his shield. He was beginning to draw in darkness. This wasn't gonna be easy. At all. Kaede was strong, one of the strongest people he knew hands down. He formed a spear in his right hand, keeping the shield up. He would be defensive for right now.

Ah. So he decides to be defensive. Kaede walks closer to Damon's location, slowly but surely. For each step she takes, the moisture that originally existed in the air drops more. By the time she comes into range with Damon, the shadowmancer can probably feel that even the tiny bit of moist on his skin starts to fade away. Had he remember the previous times she used her power around him, he would probably recall that it has never gotten this dry before. Of course, Kaede could simply collect all the water in the atmosphere, including those within Damon's body, and defeat him in such a way- after all, 65~90% of the human body is consisted of water. However, such a thought didn't really cross her mind. She just simply wished to accumulate as much water to her control as possible. The girl closes her eyes for a second, as she feels that all the water particle around the area is now indeed under her control. "Here I come!" The girl announces, dashes forth towards Damon, with her left fist pulled back and 6 smaller water orbs around her fist, readying for a punch. In this case, however, Damon would probably notice the awkwardness of her attack position- Kaede was never a left-handed person. |

Damon watched on, eyes on Kaede. She was getting closer, something odd to be sure. She was best at range. Her coming this close meant she had a plan. She was slow, but deliberate. What was she planning? Damon kept his shield at the ready, his spear as well. He wasn't going to let whatever she had up her sleeve. He licked his lips, not even realizing how dry it had become. Not to be unexpected. Were he paying full attention to his environment, he probably would have noticed. He was too busy drawing in more shadows from around him, more material to work with, as always. He was going to be back at his peak, but he knew full well that this wasn't going to be enough. Suddenly, she made her intentions clear. A quick charge, with water forming around her left hand. Damon made a quick hop to the left, his right hand making a sweep with the spear at Kaede's legs. An opponent on the ground was an opponent who couldn't defend very well. She probably wasn't going to be hit by the blade, due to how close she had gotten, but that was for the best, really. Damon rarely liked to do any sort of cutting, blasting, burning damage in spars. |

Her intentions was clear... Or was it? Well, had the shadowmancer paid attention to the environment, he probably would have noticed the unnatural gathering of the hot and cold in the room. For when he was anticipating an action from Kaede, the room has been separated into different small areas of atmosphere, each with different degree of moistures. As soon as Damon made a single movement with his spear, the actions of the girl changed abruptly. Instead of running towards Damon like she was supposed to, the girl fired off all of her water bullets at once towards Damon's shield, aiming to crush it, while her body moves back quickly, using the recoil that she receives from the blast. Almost at the instant when she fired off her blast, the moisture of the different areas also gather around and formed 6 small orbs of water, and all of them attacked Damon all at the same time, as if there was a total of 6 Kaedes firing off one shot of water bullet simultaneously at the shadowmancer. One from behind the Shadowmancer's head, one from the right side of him aiming at his right arm, one from the left bottom aiming at his knee, one again from the right aiming at his ear, one from almost-pointblank, blasting towards Damon's stomach as soon as he creates the opening when he swings his spear, and another from the back aiming at the back of his waist. Kaede has invented yet another way to attack with her specialty. Edited by Sybilus, Jan 22 2011, 01:59 PM.

Ooooh crap. Damon'd eyes widened as he realized how he was tricked. His shield was blasted apart, and Kaede was back a few steps. Again he realized just what she was up to, realizing how badly this was going to hurt. His shadow rose up into a defense shield, but it couldn't cover him completely in time. His wait, stomach, and head were hit, giving him quite the wake up call. Ow. THAT was new. He thought. That was something HE was known for pulling. He now saw why people found it annoying. Well. Turnabout was fair play. Damon gripped the spear with both hands, his barrier going down, shaking his head to try and get rid of his newly acquired headache. It did't really work. That's when Kaede's shadow then tried to rise up as an energy blast from below. Sure, she attacked by surrounding him, but Damon was taking advantage of the fact that she couldn't exactly outrun her own shadow.

Her attack worked! It actually worked! Kaede was surprised. She didn't think that such an attack would work so well, especially since Damon probably knew this sort of attack pattern, and would have been able to counter it because of that. She was more surprised, however, when a blast came from right below her from the back. Cra- Kaede quickly turns around and faces the shadow enemy that is herself, and recalls the same trick being used by another shadowmancer last night. What can she do to dodge this? To the left? The right? Or should she jump up? Too late. The shadow blast hits the girl, and sends her flying from where she was to the other side of the room. She weren't even able to do anything physical to stop herself from hitting the wall. "HARU!" The girl yells, as she impacts the wall. The anticipated sound of BANG! was not heard. Instead, a rain of water droplets condenses in midair, hovering over where the aquamancer should have hit the wall. Was Kaede saved? Indeed she was. As soon as Kaede calls for Haru, the bird shaped water-elemental flew behind the aquamancer, between her body and the wall, transformed into a huge orb of water and expanded as much as possible. However, due to how much water Kaede can actually control, the water orb, while expanded, could still only support the impact from Kaede until she was a split second from hitting the wall, then explodes into a rain of water like a bursted balloon. Kaede forces herself off the wall and walks forth, her left hand extended in front of her. She snaps her finger, and all the water droplets rains down. They quickly become ice pieces with razor-thin, aiming at and raining down onto approximately where Damon is, indiscriminately. |

Alright time to keep the pressure on! Damon moved forward, towards Kaede. He heard the crashing ice behind him, not surprised. If Kaede was starting to attack from all directions, standing still was no longer an option. If it was him he would NEVER let up the pressure, constantly going at the foe with attacks from everywhere. He was going to have to fight, sadly enough, like Chizu did when she fought him. He zig zagged towards her, both hands on the sear. He needed to draw in a bit more power to get off a better attack. For now, he had something to attack with, and was going to use it. He made a slash at Kaede's left shoulder, albeit lightly. This was STILL just a spar, he wasn't going to try to cleave into her! 6/16 |

The rain didn't hit? Kaede frown in surprise. Her aiming was probably off from the lack of calculation of how fast Damon actually was acting, in that the rain has gone to a range behind Damon as he attacks forward. He is indeed faster physically now. She'd not have expected that from him, to say the least. She has always remembered Damon as the elemental type, not the physical type. Yet, all of his attacks up until now... They were more physical than elemental. It is not a bad thing, per se. No, not bad at all. Well, then, that only means she needs to get physical as well. Kaede twists her body by a little to evade the attack from Damon's spear, and quickly bends down leaning towards her left side, and draws her fist back as she gets into short range around Damon's stomach. Can she hit him? It's such a close range, that Kaede doubt he can dodge it. She has her concerns, though they are minimal: at the same time as she attacks in such a manner, Kaede is trading off her own safety. For anyone who is good at martial arts or in some form of melee weapon, it could be a very nice opening to deal a deadly blow. However, Kaede just couldn't see Damon suddenly being extremely strong in fighting in physical front. If Damon suddenly becomes some kind of master in spear, however, that's another story. |

Damon was again quite surprised as he suddenly had a fist in hit gut. It seemed Kaede had decided to try anything, and it showed. He stumbled back, dazed for a second or two as his brain processed exactly what had just happened. Yeah, this really wasn't going to be easy at all, was it? He would have to be a fool to think like that. But hey, he could dream, couldn't he? Damon again made a sweep at Kaede's legs, reversing his grip at of the spear to try and hit her with the bottom end. Again, he wasn't going to hack at Kaede's ankles with a bladed weapon. Thank god she wasn't at the tournament..... He thought, grateful for that. It was very likely both he and Chizu would have been THRASHED. |

A quick pain shot up from the right ankle of the girl onto her spine, and the girl shivered. She quickly steps away and to the front, withdrawing her fist and reforming her formation facing Damon, her right hand extended in front of her and her left hand into a fist again. She looks at Damon with her eyes locked on his feet. What is the chances that Damon is going to attack her with his spear again? Rather funny, actually, since long range warfare is her specialty, not his, but they are both reversing their battlefront takes in this fight. The girl can't help it, however. She cannot even steadily hold an arrow anymore with her right hand unable to hold any strength in it at all. If this training goes on, she may not even be able to lift her arm in the way she is doing it right now, and she wasn't even putting strength into it. It could also only be a matter of time before her wound reopens again. Kaede shakes away her thoughts. ANY gaps and wandering of thoughts can become her weakness. She takes a deep breathe in, and her eyes flared opened afterwards. Her left ankle is grabbing onto the floor, when her right fore-foot is readying an arch to dodge out at any time. This is not a position that anyone who is ready to defend would take. The moisture of the ground and the atmosphere continues to gather around her, mainly above her. She keeps her left fist tightly underneath her waist, then remembered that Damon was... well, not close at all. This could be problematic. "What's wrong? Is it it?" Kaede asks her opponent in her normal tone of voice. Her words means threat and provoke, but her tone do not sound like such at all. After all, Kaede is not capable of doing such thing as provoke someone. Again, it is something that she needs to learn. She just needs him to get into range. Edited by Sybilus, Feb 2 2011, 12:29 AM.

Damon took a step back from Kaede, holding the spear up again as she backed off again. This was probably not a smart idea, and he knew it full well. Kaede would decimate him if she got range again. He would have to keep applying the pressure. She spoke up, asking if this was it. She still seemed to want to fight on, it seemed. "Until you say otherwise, I guess not." The shadowmancer responded, before doing something crazy. The tip of the spear suddenly vanished, As Damon span around and tossed the 'staff' right at Kaede as if it were a harpoon. After that he moved right back in. Whether or not he even hit was irrelevant, he just needed a distraction to bridge the gap that was forming. He was starting to form a plan inside his head. Who knew if it would work? 8/16 |
