Welcome to Gaia! ::

Judge: "First participant deemed unable to continue is the loser. Use of lethal force is not authorised. You may begin when ready."

A hooded figure covered in a full black cloak with white petals embroidered on it walks into the arena at a slow calming pace. Once this figure made it to the center of the arena to survey the area around him.

"This is a nice way to become welcomed back to the clan after I left for awhile."

the figure raises his right hand from underneath his cloak, and points at Kei to reveal two rings fitted to his hand. One of the rings was a golden band cover in weird blood-red glyphs. The other ring was made of silver and adorned with an emerald, it was also engraved with a small glyph within the stone.

"I wonder if your info you have on me is current or just a bunch of last years bag of tricks."

The figure lowers his hand to his side and then takes a nice calm breath. As he waits for Kei to have the first move.

(lets have fun I am trying to do a new way of posting so lets make the best of this match.........I will try my best to say current with me post but having a full time job and collage makes it a little hard but I will do my best.)

"Why am I always in the bothersome fights?"

As the first kozuka flew toward him, Kyo pressed off his right foot, dodging to his left. He then continues to dash to his left to avoid the rest of the oncoming onslaught of flying knives. As he moves around, Kyo raises his right hand from underneath his cloak again, but this time with a fistful of small seeds the size of pebbles.

With a quick snapping motion between his thumb and forefinger, he launches one of the seeds. With the force and the speed of a bullet fired from a gun, the seed sails through the air and deflects a kozuka before it manages to puncture Kyo’s side.

Two more quick snapping motions follow shortly after as he aims for both sides of Kei’s face, planning on peppering Kei’s cheeks with stinging welts. After he fires his seeds and avoids all of the flying kozuka, Kyo continues to jog to the left.

"Do you want to know what I really find bothersome?"

Once Kei disappears from sight Kyo uses his left hand to unsnap the collar to his cloak. Once unsnapped the collar emits a sizzling noise. Just as the polearm is thrusted at his chest, Kyo's left hand forms into the sign necessary for a substitution jutsu. Kyo switches with one of his seeds, leaving the cloak draped upon the tiny form. As the polearm stabs into the cloak, the tear reveals an explosive tag hidden on the inside of the collar.

"… When someone uses the same move they used on a past exam, now."

Kyo had switched with one of the seeds he had aimed at Kei's cheek, safely on the other side of the arena, near a wall segment. Kyo’s face forms a small grin. The other seed that had been launched before had crashed into the wall of the arena and cracked it.

As the razor wind slashes through the cloak, the collar explodes.

(Sorry for the long wait I got a copy of crises core so I kinda been playing that...........its a very very fun game but back to the fight.....I am very sorry on the wait now I am off to my smash brother brawl tournament, thank you for your understanding and o yeah..........*Raises a Buster Sword* all give praise to the all powerful sword of honor and sometimes never ending doom.)

As Kyo stands up his new outfit comes into a better view, he seemed to be wearing an old ANBU outfit that wasn’t worn a lot in this generation, as well as a thick wooden sword mounted on his back.

The kitsune mask on the side of his face, hugging his cheek and a good deal of hair, looked oddly like the same mask a drifter that once passed through Gaioh wore.

"Well I can always form another cloak if need be."

As Kei swings his fan in Kyo’s direction, causing a gale of razor winds to tear towards him, Kyo reaches to his right side bag with his right hand and pulls out a single, small black ball from the container. At the same time, he forms a weird one handed sign and then points his left hand toward the ground which instantly sucks him into the ground, Kyo then jumps from out of the ground which placed Kyo off of Kei’s side.

"Now let’s see how well your close range movements are."

A green light starts to shine on Kyo's right hand, originating from the silver ring with the emerald adorned upon it as he throws the black ball at his feet. There is a low popping noise as it hits the ground. The sphere opens up and releases a black cloud of smoke which envelope's Kyo. Kyo had closed both of his eyes while his hands come together in a loud clap, right as the ball collided with the ground. While enveloped in the smoke Kyo's hands begin to go into a series of hand signs: Ox, Snake, Ram, Dog, Tiger. After the Tiger hand seal is formed Kyo opens both of his eyes to reveal them to have changed to a bright green color that shines through the black cloud of smoke.

"Garden of Madness."

There was a slight waver to the air as five Kyo's, with kunai in hand, dash out of the smoke, and charge at Kei. Each one was wearing the kitsune mask on their faces to cover up the grins behind them.

(Due to talking with one of the judges I had to fix my last post from a substitution jutsu to a going underground style of jutsu, due to this I had to make sure I wrote my next post correctly.)

*Interrupt attack*

As the dust is kicked up into the air between Kei and the five Kyos, the quintuple are unfazed. They even continue their drive forward without pause as if the dust did not affect them. When Kei leaps backwards and twists his fan in their direction, they all jump after him.

Kei's blast of air crashes into all of the Kyos’. However, instead of bleeding or becoming clouds of harmless vapor, their bodies fall into pieces, little tiny pink flower petal pieces. Instantly they surround Kei in a bright pink haze thicker than a blizzard, making it pretty hard to see past arms length.

The smoke screen was blown away. What remained were some black flower petals floating in the air. As the wind blows the black petals around in the air a voice can be heard within the haze of petals, which surrounded Kei.

"As five flowers get caught in the wind, and take flight to the heaven's, seven new flowers crash down to earth."

After these words are spoken, a septuplet of Kyos form from the flower petals. Fourteen feet above Kei's head they form, each wearing a kitsune mask, and holding a kunai in each hand. Once the poem finishes, each Kyo falls toward Kei with their kunai drawn and aimed at Kei's body.

As the Cyclone jutsu activates, each of the Kyo's just fall into it like they did not care. As it sucks them in, they all brake apart into rose petals as they are whipped about by the wind. The rose petals float behind Kei as he uses his clones to blow the petals out of the way. Kyo's voice can be heard in the back of Kei’s head.

"Man clones these days. All they are good for is target practice."

Once Kei walks from the haze, there stands a Kyo with the mask on his face, and a kunai in hand.

"But you should know these clones offer a larger purpose then just targets."

As the words finish some thing odd starts to happen. On the main Kei's body, cuts form as if he was just in the eye of his own Cyclone jutsu. Once the cuts fully appear all over his body the voice continues to speak.

"Now, let the ground roar with the pain you have dealt to mother nature."

As the words finish, from under the feet of all the Kei's, a Kyo each bursts forth to attack that Kei, each with a kunai in hand. They all were followed by their own trail of pink rose petals.
