Eternal power to the winer.......ENTER KITARO VS AMANE ICHIKAWA!!!!!

The day was calm and a small breeze flew by. Amane's coat fluttered as he awaited a fight that would surely spell death if it not been for Akuma's knowledge of it. He seemed to feel almost envaloped in an odd sense of happieness. Most likely Kitaro knew who Amane really was and so he may have the chance to show this. He was wearing his usual three blades. His Tanto, his Wakizashi and his Katana.

He awaited this battle for a little while. He knew it would come eventually as it was Kitaro had skill beyond most. Maybe even beyond that of Akuma himself. But for this he had to know. For now it was soft and ready, they sky that is. he knew to get this done with he would have to go all out so he started his raping. His right foot tapped on the cement in the middle of the forest.

It was more or less a makeshift ring set up for fights. He was ready and the raping would drive even the native animals insane.

Kitaro ran through the woods with the wolves chasing after a small prey and pulled out a small knife designed for this moment in the hunt. The dagger loosed from his hand and out into the wind and breeze curving slightly but Kitaro had expected this as the knife went forward and into the being that was running. The rabbit that was Kitaro's prey. For a moment he was running with the wolves a brother to them as much a wolf as any of them. Finally Kitaro reached the prey and fell on it snapping its neck with his thumbs and a flick of his wrist. He then put the rabbit in a bag and hung it from a tree. This would be nice later on Kitaro stated to himself as he walked back to his hut. He had heard the low growl of a wolf meaning that another human had entered the wolves. Judging by the distance the wolf had been and how close to the edge of the woods it was at first the man knew nothing of hunting and knew nothing of moving through the woods especially the art of hiding. tsk tsk is really all Kitaro could think. Then came the terrible tapping noises. That bastard was disturbing everything and he cared no mind to it. This caused Kitaro to grind his teeth that he had curved himself in recent days to make them curved like the wolves. He was a part of them and they a part of Kitaro.

So Kitaro began running like a wolf on all fours with his long arms touching the ground and propelling him forward across the ground. Back in time a bit before he took of running and before the tapping started something else happened.

Kitaro walked through the camp of his. He knew he would need weapons so he grabbed them up from his weapons rack. First he grabbed his Katana blade and placed it over his back and crossed that blade with another weapon. A half moon axe blade that the steel on it glinted in the moon light. That would indeed be a powerful weapon and the crossing of the two weapons covered his back with steel to prevent attack. His leather covering allowed his body more movement than they normally would anyways. His other weapon that he brought with him looped on his leather belt held at his side was what some would call a broadsword. It was heavy but Kitaro was strong and could wield it with ease because of his training with the toxic man.

In the present Kitaro ran through like a wolf the weapons on his back until he finally found the man. Taking the only knife from his body he threw it at the man's feet and before the man could know what was going on he was on him attacking and ripping and slashing his broadsword in his hand in a heavy swing carving down from the top of the right shoulder to the right side of the hip as Kitaro gave an ear shattering yell that would stun all who heard it that were normal people. The vibrating voice was in such a high tone it would cause ears to bleed. He had learned the technique from the wolves and he protected himself from the sonic ear bleeding by the light leather that rimmed his ears causing sound to bounce a few extra times lowering the sound and making it not damage his ear drums. Another toxic man trick.

A single snap was heard through the woods as well as a slight and barely sensible presence. He new it was getting closer so he decided to meet it. As such his left foot lifted fro the ground as well as his right. As soon as they struck the ground his image disappeared but in it's place was a succession of deep thud like sounds that emanated from places along his path. This was the only way to see how he moved s every time a foot stepped on the ground a small column of debris formed but he was still faster than the naked eye.

His image reappeared just behind Kitaro, he had managed with great speed to move around the man after he jumped and aimed towards the spot he was. In that speed he had aimed an attack as Kitaro's legs. They would slice through them like butter while he was in mid air and unable to stop. From there he covered his ears after a millisecond of the yell like sound and a rapid succession of blade slices at nowhere. Finally a little scathed but able to fight and hear he was ready.

That annoying raping started again and he was ready. he was always ready for the fight of what was t come. His blade was sheathed and seemed like it was never drawn. This was taught by his master and kept him fast as a god some said. It was true, he really was Akuma no Ikiryo.

Kitaro saw with his wolf like instincts the small puft of dust. His eyes were trained to see any tiny bit of movement and though the image was there Kitaro had a plan for this to work anyways. So he smiled to himself and reached around not changing his position but dropping the sword with a wrist flick for power and sticking it into the ground. The attack at his legs thwarted because of the massive size of the broadsword he continued his lunge gripping his half moon axe and swinging from the air coming down and when he hit the ground he grabbed up his knife in hand. Hearing the metal on metal sounds from behind him Kitaro continued his attack aiming a slash down across the man's body with a well toned giant muscled arm. Followed immediatly by a stab forward all the while using only one hand and with his footwork positioning his feet to the knife where he kicked it up and caught the hilt of the small throwing knife in his mouth so he would be able to use that again soon. The broadsword was stuck in the ground behind him as he preformed his mouth howling like a wolf bearing his teeth against those who would disturb his peace. Namely this unknown weapon and speed master that stood before him.

OOC: Could have one posted you there if I felt like it. You should really be more careful.

As soon as he heard Kitaro land and start his movements Amane took off again. His resting place was a few yards away with his ears covered. He was away from the attacks as of yet but at any second Kitaro cold throw something. He stayed in a ready stance with the saya clenched in his left hand tightly and his body shifted so that he was ready to pull the blade from the saya and attack. He was of god like speed some said. Others said he was nothing but a demon. but the true demon was the wolf man Kitaro. Amane was ready for anything that could come his way. he was starting to get warn by the sound of the howl however but it was not going to stop him. Even if he went def he could still fight. His left hand was out a little and right ready to grab the hilt in the second Kitaro started moving towards him. After Kitaro had stopped his attacking Amane took off as fast as he could but still staying visible ti the last second. Which by this time he had dissappeared and reappeared several feet away from Kitaro on the other side. He sheathed his Katana and redied for another attack. The attack he just used was aimed at Kitaro's neck. But just tright so that if he ducked he would get a buzz cut, if he jumped he would get cleaved a few feet of his legs. This was an interesting battle indeed.

((Meh@ you and sorry for the smal post not feeling too hot atm))

Kitaro watched as his cleaving half moon axe failed. However he now had a plan while the man got away from the attacks Kitaro grabbed his broadsword from behind him and got it ready for an attack. When the guy began running towards him Kitaro waited. Not knowing that both were waiting for the last second. However it would be ironic when they found out. As the man rushed forward Kitaro got his broadsword ready in front of him. As soon as he sped up or rather a split second before Kitaro howled aloud and slammed the blade through the ground in front of him splitting the ground with the force of it as other wolves in the woods howled their heads off to cheer him on.

When the man attacked he would run into the blade. His speed was speed and not teleportation so the attack would collide with his massive blade no matter how hard someone as feeble as someone who relied soley or mainly on alchemy had their feeble muscles thrown at the wall of steel that was his broadsword it would hold its own. The broadsword of the wolves. The broadsword of the toxic man.
Now having a chance he immediatly threw the throwing knife at him during a pivot where his right foot moved at a 90 degree angle in a slide the half moon axe glinting in one hand as he hefted the broadsword in another. The massive blade swung across the back of where the man was as the knife would have driven him backwards. Since it came from the front the only way to dodge would be to run back into the swinging broadsword.

However the half moon axe was no in play as well for as he swung the broadsword with one hand and the knife landed in either the person or the concrete below Kitaro hacked with the half moon axe bending down closer to the man aiming at his chest on the opposite side as where his heart was so as not to kill him. if he backed up and stayed down the axe would easily get to him. Kitaro ran over the idea as he did it to make sure it was good. "Run back=no, Run forward=no, crawl backwards=no, stay still=no," Some would say what about the left and the right. Kitaro thought of that to. The broadsword was in a full circle swing covering all directions but Kitaro was solidifying his way in the back mainly. However he swung it full power the whole circle.

OOC: tsk tsk tsk making the same mistake twice, I could have gotten you again there you need to pay more attention to your movements.

Standing, the projectile and weapons aimed for him were staring him in the face. As the knife got close he lept up. He had jumped high enough to clear the broadsword as well but he didn't just clear it. No he did more. He had leaped up and put his right hand on the sword. Holding to it he stayed straight up and then after he cleared the crescent moon he stepped down. He was a few inches from kitaro and his ears were close to bleeding. In that second of landing Amane had already aimed and attempted an attack at Kitaro. It would strike Kitaro in the chest and most likely rip open said body part. However it was still possible to avoid it, that is if he was not so intent on using his weapons all at the same time. It was highly unlikely that he would avoid this but Amane had a plan in case he did.

That plan was to strike. If he moved then it would only lead to Amane throwing his Tanto as fast as he drew swords. it would strike his chest directly next to his heart, not fatal. but if he didn't move it would still be the same as it was. he was ready for any attack Kitaro could pull at him except that of another broad sword attack.

Kitaro stood his ground to increase his momentum he dropped his broadsword again. He felt that his time with keeping this man alive was getting a little boring. It seemed his opponent wasn't even trying to fight because he was being so simple and not thinking his moves through. His broadsword dropping to the ground and giving him enough momentum to slam his half moon axe into the incoming blade and in that instance Kitaro howled the howl of the wolf. His carved teeth showing in the light of the sun glinting off the trees. The silverish looking axe quickly moved by his arm and helped further by his body to get in front of the blade. The then thrown blade was caught as well by the half moon axe. He slammed his half moon axe with all of his well toned force into the blade and with the force of it combined with the strength of the toxic man's axe he would shatter the blade of the weapon thrown at him with a dead on edge on edge connection. His blow having more force than a thrown weapon because his blade was connected to muscle directly. His wolf like instincts slamming his blade powerfully through the incoming blade and then getting in a curve around so that the shattered materials the weapon was made of flew past his body. The reason Kitaro spun in that curving turn was because he didn't want the shards to fly into his body. However while he was turning the hilt and part of the blade still attached caught his eye. He snagged it with a quick hand grabbing and continued his spin throwing when he got back to facing him aiming at his face. Kitaro then ducked down not wanting to lose this amazing shot of momentum that he had picked up during this attack and swung his oddly jointed arms lunging out across the legs of the man. The half moon axe would make a bloody mess of the legs if they connected. While still keeping close to his downed broadsword which with a flick of his wrist that was not attached to his half mooned axe he optioned grabbing and optioned a swing across where the head of his opponent stood. Still howling like a wolf with that ear piercing yell.

[Come on dude that was your worst yet.]

A clang echoed through the forest as Amane stood there. His right hand clasped the broad sword and his feet jumped over the crescent blade. As his feet landed on the ground He let the broad sword drop and in that second Amane had aimed an attack towards Kitaro's left arm. If it connected it would sever the arm at worst or at least cause immobility. His movements being faster than the naked eye they were most likely to connect. However his ears were bleeding and he started to go deaf from the scream. Being at close range it would be hard not to be able to do something about it, even if one were to cover his ears he would still be able to feel and hear it as well as receive the damage from it. His Katana was used in the attack while his Wakizashi still rested in it's saya. Amane's eyes were dead staring in to Kitaro's and it was a time of check or check mate. If the scream goes for any more Amane would most likely become deaf.

Kitaro saw it as well. The end was coming near. So upon the attack aimed at his arm however this was the moment Kitaro had been waiting for. As soon as the attack came for his arm he began to spin his feet doing most of the work and his relfexes beginning to pull his arm in. Though that alone would not be fast enough to get it away from the lightning fast strike. Kitaro however had a plan he had worked the battlefield a little over from when he last threw his knife and kicked it as he pivoted and kicked the hilt of the blade with precise and practiced aim and as it flew through the air at the incoming blade it knocked it sidelong just a hair so that Kitaro's pull would get it essentially away pricking his finger just enough for Kitaro to smile as blood poured out slightly.

Kitaro then flicked his finger getting ever closer to his opponent and aimed the blood to cover his face. He would not use the ability of course but if the man stayed after the fight was over Kitaro would explain what it meant if the blood got on his face. It was not really a time for killing people. Getting to this closeness though and as his opponents ears were bleeding now and they were dizzy from the momentum and movement Kitaro took his axe and aimed it in a slash across the lower left side of the man Kitaro using his right arm to do this slash.

It was meant to slice through his cloths and into his skin a little causing mainly blood and no permament damage. He had already done enough of that. As this attack went Kitaro staring in his eyes and through his perefferal vision seeing the bleeding ears and the eyes staring at him.

Kitaro spoke for this first time to this man. "Return to my hut with me." A simple command. If it was accepted then he would do his job with his herbs that the toxic man had taught him about to survive in the woods in case he were to do badly in a fight and be damaged he knew how to heal himself with the herbs.

When the scream stopped Amane took this as a sign that things were going to get a little ugly. Also he only knew the scream stopped by the cease of the pain in his ears. As they bled he was rather upset about himself being trapped in this. Then he jumped back so he would not be struck by the blades. After the man asked if he wanted to continue with a hunt the man was on. Indeed Amane was fast, but the prospect of learning something that was not battou or kami no Suk. was enticing. "I will accept that I will." he said as he slowly walked towards Kitaro. it was becoming quite the interesting time. First he met with a master hunter and fought, essentially losing. Then, he was offered to join a hunt. He was unsure of what to do but for now it was to follow at the prospect of learning something new even though he needed to get to a doctor as soon as possible.

Kitaro knew that this one needed a healing ability. So Kitaro grabbed him by the neck and ran towards his hut. Dragging him along with him and when they arrived he grabbed up some herbs that the toxic man had taught him how to use and crushed them into powder with his hands. He first however used cloth from a dead soldier's clothes that he kept around for such an occassion to clean the blood off of the person. He next applied the crushed almost liquid healing herbs to the ears of the one whom he had injured which would take effect in about an hour. It would almost restore full hearing. Kitaro didn't talk much because he didn't need to simply.

So he took a small hunting knife from the table and pressed it into the smaller man's hand and then gave a nod. Dissapearing like a wolf in a fog into the trees and woods behind him. His body blending in to the nature image around him as if nothing had happened at all.

Amane was left alone at his hut as soon after Kitaro could be heard giving his signature yell as he plunged his axe through a deer and some wolf howls heard behind it as a successfull kill was claimed.

An hour after the man had left Amane felt his hearing came back. As he didn't lose alot he still lose some. But his hearing was restored surprisingly. He awoke to find a dagger in his right hand. it was small but it was still a weapon. and it seemed that the weapon was a gift perhaps? As he made headway around the small encampment he looked over the hut. He had also taken in the scenery and what not. After he looked round and noticed that it was quite the uneventful place. It was peaceful and nice, but not Amane's cup of tea at this moment. With that he started home, leaving the knife where it was supposed to be and he buttoned up the place. He was unsure of how to really respond to that man but then again who was ever sure about some thing like that about someone like that.
