Sparring.

[GunnSlinger]

Gunn walks into a decent sized white room with a somewhat soft, wood floor. He cracks his neck slowly by turning his head, doing the same for his shoulders, wrists, and fingers.

Ok, let's make this simple, I need to get back into top shape, and the best way to do that is to spar a little.

I'll take three people, Aries, Libra, and Ai. You're welcome to team up, or decide to fight me alone.

Rules:

Melee only, no ranged weapons. If you want to bring in poles, axes, broadswords, hammers, go ahead.

No kill shots. This is practice, not death.

Now... who's first?

[DarkAries]

*groans.*

Whyy-hyy-hyyy-hyyyy?

*sighs dramatically, then starts rummaging through a chest full of weaponry.*

Gotta be something good in here...

*He puts his hands on his head.*

Don't start crying now, Aries...you'll just rust up the goods...

*goes back to digging.*

[The Fighting Libra]

I walk into the room, and I take out both of my LCCs. I rest them on the table, and I begin to swing around a wooden katana.

No killing? Sweet. I like to live.

[GunnSlinger]

Neko said:

Whyy-hyy-hyyy-hyyyy?

Two reasons.

One - I consider you enough of a challenge to get me back into fighting shape.

Two - You're one of few that have been around long enough for me to know pretty well.

Gunn chuckles lightly.

Alright, so, both of you at once, or are you two going to decide who gets to go first?

[The Fighting Libra]

*shoves Aries forward*

Him first.

[DarkAries]

Grrrrrkk!!

*sweatdrops, a pair of sais in his hands.*

Nooooooo! Whyyyy?!

[GunnSlinger]

Neko said:

Grrrrrkk!!

*sweatdrops, a pair of sais in his hands.*

Nooooooo! Whyyyy?!

Because, Aries, you're you.

Gunn steps forward, in a pair of jeans, a black t-shirt, and a grey longsleeved shirt beneath.

He runs directly at Aries, giving no tell as to what he'd do.

[DarkAries]

*freaks, then flips his sais between his hands, holding the cross of the weapon just under his fingers, the center spike between his ring and middle fingers. His arms lash out on impulse, to impale Gunn before he can get up close and maim him.*

Yiiiii!!

[GunnSlinger]

Gunn grins and swings to the right, putting his left hand out flat over both of Aries' wrists. He kicks off the ground with both feet, at an angle, bringing both his legs up in a fast, hard kick strait on towards Aries' face.

Gunn's entire body is now directly perpendicular to Aries', with both his feet heading for Aries' head in a swinging motion.

[DarkAries]

*Aries immediately grits his teeth and ducks his head back, near bending over backwards, Gunn's booted feet whizzing by his face and clipping his nose, drawing blood from one nostril.*

*His breath hisses out of him in a brief huff, due more to his maneuver than Gunn's hit. Now firmly out of panic mode, he centers on the one part of Gunn that isn't moving: his left wrist.*

*His sais still inside his hands, he pivots them upwards, the weapons angling towards each other, to jag Gunn's supporting left arm with the sharpened center spikes before he can slip away.*

[GunnSlinger]

Letting off a light grunt of pain as the sais partially hit their mark, leaving a slice in the outside of his left wrist. He lands on the opposite side of Aries, on his feet, after pivoting his body to land as if he's nearly standing side-by-side with Aries.

His right hand swings down, taking the place of his left, despite the possibility of another counterattack, and brings his left elbow back hard at Aries' face, while keeping Aries in an uncomfortable, unbalanced posture.

[DarkAries]

*Aries brings his right arm up, keeping his sais together, the underside of his right bicep taking the blow from Gunn's elbow. His head returns to a normal position, and his eyes narrow under his forearm.*

*His hands still a little tied up, Aries brings one foot up and wraps it around the closer of Gunn's ankles, then yanks.*

[GunnSlinger]

Gunn's left leg, the closer one, is pulled somewhat, but Gunn manages to slip it out of Aries' lock, simultaneously getting himself alligned, standing just off-set of Aries as he brings his right knee up in the middle of Aries' stomach while he's off balance from the elbow strike, and Gunn getting his ankle loose.

[DarkAries]

*Taking Gunn's knee to the solar plexus, the wind rushes straight out of Aries, unwittingly bringing his arms apart and his head forwards, his forehead connecting with Gunn's.*

*He rolls back off Gunn's knee and face, flopping onto his back as he tries to get his vision cleared.*

[GunnSlinger]

Gunn grunts, shaking his head and clearing the pain out of his skull. He takes advantage of Aries being on the ground, kicking one of the sais loose, and catching it, spinning it in his right hand and checking the balance while he allows Aries a bit of time to recuperate.
