Volgana vs Azu

[Cherry Blossom Fan]

VOlgana walked down to the battle square and started to clean his gun. He knew he had a long battle ahead of him and he needed to be ready.

[Noro]

Azu saw Volgana as soon as she entered the battle square.
"Do you always use a gun when you fight?" she said increduously. Guns were weapons for people who didn't know how to fight with real combat weopons such as swords or bows. But she tried to hide her criticisms, because she didn't know his past or his reasons for such a weapon.

[Cherry Blossom Fan]

"Most of the time. I find it to be useful. But, for this special fight, a special weapon is needed."

Volgana stuck out his hand and a cherry blossoms seemed to form out of thin air. They swirled around the room as if carried by a wind that wasn't there. The blossoms started to swirl around Volgana's outstreched hand and a sword formed from the cherry blossoms and fell into his hands. With a snap of his fingers the cherry blosoms burst into flames and fell to the ground in a smoldering ash. Volgana gripped the hilt and drew the blade. At 4 feet in length, cherry blossoms engraving the entire sword, and a slight curve to the blade, it was indeed a magnificent weapon. The blade stood at 4 feet but the sheath was 6 feet long. Volgana grabbed the end of the sheath and drew a seperate blade. It was 2 feet long and cherry blossoms engraqved this sword as well. "As I said. A special figfht deserves a special weapon."

[Noro]

Azu laughed at his use of cherry blossoms.
"You are a feminine little fella, aren't you?"
She snickered again, but it was all show. She didn't find it that amusing. In fact, she thought it was nice that a guy should have a liking for such frivolous things. It meant something. She didn't know what at the moment, but it meant something.
She assumed fighting stance and drew her sword to her side in a flash of ice and deep blue fire.
"You ready?" she asked, a mischievious glint lighting up her eyes. This would be a battle to remember.

[Cherry Blossom Fan]

"You know I am." Volgana said. Cherry blossoms started to pour from the tips of his blades. A wirl of cherry blossoms swirled around his body covering him in pink and white flowers. They started to glow and melted together to form a kimono covering his body. The image covering the cloth made from the soft flowers was a sakura tree on the back and flurries of sakura blossoms on front. Each time he moved his arms his sleaves made a ton ton sound. More cherry blossoms formed from the tip of the two blades and soon the entire field was covered in blossoms that were flosting on a wind that wa not there.

"Now you see me, now you don't." Volgana said. "This komono is my sakura armor. In this flurrie of blossoms, My armor helps me blend in. Even my blades are camoflaged to match the floating flowers." Volgana's voice trailed of and he appered above Azu wtih his long blade coming down in a arc towards her head.

[Noro]

Azu lifted her arms, swinging the Wakizashi with them. She focused her eyes so that she could see his every move, even in the middle of all the dancing petals. She heard the sound of metal clashing on metal as she repelled the sword and swept it away with a flick of her wrist. She aimed a counter attack at his arm, keeping her eyes on the engraved weapons.

[Cherry Blossom Fan]

Volgana twirled his short sword in his fingers to hold it with the blade pointing down his arm. Just in time as the wakizashi's blade clashed on his blade. Volgana used the force created by the two blades crashing together to throw himself back into the air. He reached a point where the cherry blossoms were not floating and he snapped his fingers. The blossoms burst into flames and the field was ravaged in fire. Volgana landed on the ground as the flames seemed to hit a barrier around him, flicking up at nothing. He looked around the field to see if Azu was still standing.

"I know you are still there. That little fire show wasn't strong enought to take you out. I know it."

[Noro]

Azu looked up at the flaming petals, the light playing tricks upon her face. She thought they were beautiful, but only because they were on fire; the pyro that she is. A few fluttered down to land on her, but she shrugged them off. She was a master of the flames and frost. What was this to her?
She snapped her attention back to what was happening around her. She could use this light show to her advantage. Azu crawled around until she was behind Volgana. Once she was here, she she then formed five large figures out ice that resembled her and placed them in a circle around him. She made sure that the actual sculptures were too hazy to identify, though. Then, she covered herself in a thin sheet of ice, making herself catch fire in a bluish blurr.

[Cherry Blossom Fan]

Volgana smiled. "I didn't spend a few years travaling around for nothing." Volgana said as his body shimmered and dissapered in a flash of light. He appered behind one of the Ice figures with his blades sheathed. The clone of Azu started to slipped apart as it had been cut in half. "I picked up a few things while I was out." He said.

[Noro]

"Nice, but I think you got the wrong me!!!" Azu said, projecting her voice so that it came from the ice sculpture opposite her.

[Cherry Blossom Fan]

"Who says I was aimming for you." Volgana said as the other four ice figures split in two and hit the ground. If I didn
t know where you were. That would be a nasty cut." Cherry blossoms poured out of the tips of his blades, and his clothes.

"Shall we play a little hide and seek. That will be fun." He said with a laugh as his body dissapered into the flurrie of flowers.

[Noro]

Azu watched him, then disappeared herself. Using her powers to make walls of ice, she ringed the area that they were standing in. She didn't know his immediate position at the moment, but she knew he was still there. She made sure that both of them were standing in the ring, then closed it off by adding a ceiling. Blue fire dripped down from the ice above as she set the roof in just right. She chuckled, still hidden, and waited for him to respond in some way.

[Cherry Blossom Fan]

The clouds of petals lightened up and Volgana appered standing in the middle of the arena with his tow blades sheathed. Petals were hovering around him on winds that were not there.

"Beautiful aren't they. A thousand words to describe is what I say, but I will only say one. Beautiful. It makes everything look romantic. They bring out the best in everyone don't you think." He said while gazing up at the petals dancing on the winds that were not there.

[Noro]

Azu stayed still and noted where Volgana was, in case it became useful. She kept herself focused, determined not to be distracted by his voice. She answered back though, because it was polite.
"They don't exactly bring out the best in me, seeing as they have only lead me to attack you," she said, personifying her voice once more so that it came from the walls," but yes, I see what you mean."

[Cherry Blossom Fan]

"They say the late bloomers are the brightest. I could stare at these things for hours upon end." The blossoms started to twirl faster around Volgana without him really noticing. "Have you ever heard that any edge can be sharp, even that of a flower petal. I found this interesting and decided to try it out." More petals seemed to form from ones already there. They spun faster and faster. One petal touched one of the walls and the spinnig edge caused a deep groove to cut into the wall itself. "I have learned to master somewhat a technique that allows it."
