Alone?(Dreamer)

[Raiden Matsutani]

Raiden has found himself in the Training Grounds twice. Even though he's entered with the motive of finding sometime for himself...some how that's always ruined under starnge circumstances. Well, not today or to say the least, not tonight. Raiden decided to stay up late into the night and wait when a good portion of the student to leave the training grounds.

And so night time had fallen and Raiden set foot on the Training Grounds. Before going any further Raiden scanned the area with his eyes and nose to see if anyone was around. He didn't catch anything in particular so he deemed the environment okay. Raiden entered the forest like surroundings only accompanied by the clinking sound of his metal gauntlet and blade.

Raiden found a nice area and started praticing. Of course his way of practicing wasn't quiet unlike his personality. Slashing here, and few shots over there. Raiden released one lightning bolt causing a few random crackles and a thunder clap behind that. Raiden sure was glad that no one else was here...to say the least.

[The Dreamer]

Appearing just shy of him, a nearly tanned hand rested not only on his shoulder but whipped him around as cat like amber eyes greeted his. A purr passing lightly painted lips, "Mmm seems you're out during my hunting time, Little Boy. How would you like to play a little game?"

<<OOC: this character is AiAiAi- Oki Nanda is current;y involved with another thread >>

[Raiden Matsutani]

Raiden after that shot quiet down. Raiden's muscles quickly tensed and his ears twitched as he distinctly picked up some one else being in the same area as him. The only problem was he couldn't tell where that person was, well he would now.

Raiden felt someone touch his bare shoulder and then suddenly be whipped around. Raiden found himself to be standing face to face with a lady. Raiden red piercing eyes staring into to her own amber orbs. The first thoughts that ran through Raiden's mind was he thought he was alone. How could he have not noticed this person before?

The next thought that ran through his head was the words this lady had spoken to him.

"Mmm seems you're out during my hunting time, Little Boy. How would you like to play a little game?"

Raiden knew exactly want that ment. Switch "play a little game" with "fight" and it sounded perfect. Without wasting another minute Raiden had to get away from this lady mostly because he was uncomfortable being this close to a woman, accompanied by the fact that she was touching him also. Raiden broke from the lady's grip and jumped back a few feet. No words came from his mouth though, just silence. It was the usual response from him.

[The Dreamer]

Clapping her hands together, she laughed, "Wonderful! Ah You'll be perfect entainment until prowling time is over!"

Raising her hands above her head, AiAiAi sang an A sharp- a brilliant flash of light and a whip tipped in a mishmash of element appeared around her. Accentuating her bust and squeezing her already thin waist, this was indeed AiAiAi's favorite toy. Das Sandmännchen could attest to that, she giggled softly. Amber eyes focused on him, the irises bare slits.

"We'll make this fun! How about it, Cutie? Winner chooses a nice place to go for a date."

[Raiden Matsutani]

Raiden's face showed nothing but bewilderment. The comment about going out on a date pretty much threw Raiden off. She wants to fight me and date me? he said to himself as a small blush had broke of across his face. Raiden shook that thought off only because he thought she must be trying to make him lose focus. Its was kind of hard only because the whip wrapped around her waist made things seem alittle more appealing. Raiden unsure of what to do took a few more steps back. Making the first move nor starting a fight wasn't something he could do. The demon just stood there like a tree waiting to see what course of action the lady would take next.

[The Dreamer]

AiAiAi, smiling ever so sweetly, shivered and hugged herself, "Strong silent type- sends chills up my spine."


As the word escaped her lips, the field became no more than icy- grass froze, trees crystalized, any source of water became solid and the world around them dropped a good thirty degrees. AiAiAi giggled, a plume of whips rose up behind her- each twisting and writhing this way and that before striking out- crossing the span between both she and her current adversairy..and possible next romantic involement- their intent to strike with every element as they each flared at the tips.

[Raiden Matsutani]

That last comment of hers for some reason sent chills up Raiden's spine. But that was the only reason to shiver. The environment had become cold and stark. Raiden could only asume such a drastic drop in temperature was her doing. Raiden didn't mind the cold, but this was alittle to much. Raiden could see his own hot breath. Well, that's Raiden's fault for not wearing a shirt, but then again he never does.

Raiden getting too distracted by his own thoughts focused on the present battle. Whips out of no where flayed themselves in Raiden's direction. Without a second thought Raiden leapt back several times evading the whips, but some got the best of him. One had struck him across the face leaving a small thin cut on his right cheek. Another whip knicked Raiden's pants leg almost cutting him. Raiden came to a stop a considerable distance away now. He looked down at the cut in his pants leg. Got to stop fooling around... he said glancing up at the lady.

Focused alittle more Raiden decided since its a fact now that she wants to fight him, he decided its time to defend himself. Raiden went for a direct frontal attack as his first move. He rushed off towards he unsheathing his katana holding in his left while his gauntlet was on the other. This could hopefully be a good defense and parry any threat from either side from the whips. He then would try three hits on her. First a horizontal slash, an upward diagonal slash, and then a downward vertical slash.

[The Dreamer]

She purred softly, ever closing her eyes- how odd even for her, not exhaling loudly simply speaking the word, "Little boy, you set a FIRE in my loins."

As the word was uttered, each whip began to spin, twirl and dance as if each were rabid. More appeached, each made of file and each spinning as if this were the hopscotch game of hopscotch games. AiAiAi cooed a soft purr and stretched- several new whips made of pure stone flew out from within each flaming whip- circling the boy as if a pack of wolves had possessed each.

[Raiden Matsutani]

Raiden charged head on towards the woman hoping to close the gap between the two of them. The closer he was the better the striking range was, logically of course. The only problem was the whips. The whips almost made it impossible to go head on towards her. The idea of parrying any whips from the sides was a good idea, but nothing stopped an approach from behind.

As soon as Raiden tried to get close be became enclosed in a blazing fury of fire whips. Raiden had some immunity to heat based attacked, but there's an emphasis on some, which isn't much. Raiden could feel the intense heat as the barrage whips slowly enclosed on Raiden from all directions. Thinking fast, Raiden casted a Substitution spell immediately switching himself with a block of wood which was the nearest object in the forest. Hopefully the attention would be over there. Raiden would take the chance to get around the lady and attack from behind with a one punch to the right shoulder. Hopefully this one could land, but Raiden was finding it kind of hard to fight against a lady.

[The Dreamer]

She giggled, shy quiet type- with a descent fighting skill...her mind wandered to wether or not he could perform well in other areas...outside of school. Laughing at the substitution spell, she turned to face the dear boy as he appeared, dodging slightly to the right- allowing his punch to come bare a centimeter form her shoulder, before locking a fist of steel around his wrist, spinning fast and releasing in a simple attempt to see if he could fly.

If he did indeed fly, he whips would follow- but only those of ice and electricity. Oh she hadn't honestly had this much fun in ages...and she was well- almost as old as Hoshi but no where near as old as Oki..and then Tantum was barely a month younger- OH THAT BRAT STILL HAD HER CATNIP! She would have to get her back later- amber eyes focused on the task at hand, her nose twitched. She had to focus, a date was at stake and since Sandmännchen had seemingly grown bored with her compant..she needed someone to play with.

[Raiden Matsutani]

[OOC: O-Okay...I see you was right about tha part about my character having his ass kicked by AiAiAi. Your character compared to mine is like a freaking sexy cat goddess which is about to smite Raiden with absolutely no mercy. And yet she's having fun with it...scary...^_^;;]

Raiden as soon as he had launched himself at the lady from behind, found himself completely missing by less than a centimeter. It was close enough just to feel the body heat enimating from this strangely intriguing lady. Raiden had not time to noticed though because something else had caught his attention.

As soon as he missed, a soft hand had grabbed on to his bare left wrist which he through the punch. The fact that she was touching him again sent chills up Raiden's spine. It wasn't the fact that the lady was unpleasant, oh that was quite the opposite. Girl in general made Raiden uncomfortable and the lady was no exception.

Raiden suddenly felt himself flying through the air. It was completely amazing and then strange how she was able to make Raiden fly so far. The only explanation was simply that this lady was strong, maybe even stronger than Raiden. If this lady was going to date Raiden, and even become his girlfriend...it would be cool, and then scary all at the same time by the factor that your girlfriend is super strong and could beat you into a bloody pulp.

The again another explanation could simply be that Raiden is to light for his age. A strong woman, plus a man who weigh only a 150 pounds...would equal a good flight distance... His body only flying where the force of gravity would eventually take him. It would be a little while as the throw from tha lady sent him atleast 10 feet in the air.

Raiden now in mid air found himself to be at a great disadvantage. He couldn't move at all. This was a problem...because the whips soon gave chase following after him. On judgement Raiden could tell that one was electric...his fave...and the other ice which would hurt when being whipped. Raiden was just about to perform another substitution spell but....there was nothing around to switch with. At this point anyone else would say they're screwed, but not Raiden.

Raiden with the palms of his hands open raised his arm to point at the incoming whips which when directly coming from the lady. Raiden with that did a Zap spell and a flurry of lightning bolts shot out hopefully colliding with the whips. and some heading directly towards the lady.

[The Dreamer]

AiAiAi giggled, her voice purred out, "guumuion."

A shield appeared around her, reflecting his spell- and at the first glimpse of being clear, AiAiAi giggled, "Alrighty, Demon Sweetie Raiden! AiAiAi has a little gift for you!"

Raising her hand, one long nailed finger pointing directly at him, a pale hot pink light glowing around her and the whips, "Feruzareedo!" Known to destory a brass demon with a single hit, AiAiAi pulleed this punch a bit as the piralling ray of light flailed towards the boy with the same entusiasm as a whip but with the accuracy of a blade. Since the spell doesn't naturally travel in a straight path, it is harder to avoid than spells like buramu bureizaa which travel in a straight line. AiAiAi was quietly wondering how he would react to this.

A direct hit would stun him, knock him out, a slight touch could do the same but not for quite as long- and even then there was still the possiblility of a prolonged hit, and his inevitable death considering this spell was of the holy and the water, quite rather than many of her other spells.

[Raiden Matsutani]

As Raiden still mid air was coming in for a landing. Unfortunately the postition Raiden was in right now would have him landing on his head. In a cat like fashion he twisted body wrench ing around. He landed with a thud on all fours. Phew! he said.

Raiden looked up to see though that the lady deflected the barage or lightning bolts. Raiden was beginning to get alittle distraught now. The open palmed 'Zap' was his best and powerful spell he could muster currently. And yet...this lady deflected it like nothing... Raiden could tell this lady was barely batting and eyebrow. She was just launching attacks one after the other constantly keeping Raiden on the run. Raiden wasn't to deep in his thought to hear the woman speak to him.

"Alrighty, Demon Sweetie Raiden! AiAiAi has a little gift for you!"

Raiden first of all was shocked to hear her call out his name. H-How does she k-know my name? It also occurred she called him a demon also. Both of the factors practically scared Rai. Some how this lady knew these two things about Raiden...even though he didn't tell her...or even meet her previously. A question arose in Raiden's mind wondering if he has been repeatedly watched since he's joined the academy. Well, it was atleast good to know the lady's name. LoveLoveLove?

Well, Raiden can't be thrown off by this lady...but the thing is...that he is being thrown off by her. He was finding it really hard to continue. Since they've gotten deeper into this fight, Raiden still hasn't been able to land a hit. So far, it seems she's been easyily dodging his attacks. As Raiden was thinking thought like this to himself. The current attack AiAiAi had launched was heading in Raiden's direction with haste.

Raiden resolve finally thinned out by AiAiAi. With his resolved weakened he began to wonder if he could even continue fighting against her. It was so low, Raiden was thinking of letting this attack land knocking him out. And since he was going to do that, he was going to let her win, and do what ever she wants to him. Raiden just didn't care anymore.

So, as the beam of light zig zag in Raiden's direction...he just stood there. When it finally had gotten five feet away Raiden snapped out of the depressive state to do something. At the crucial second Raiden performed another Substitution spell...but was it quick enough? The answer is...no... Raiden seemed to had gotten out of the way of the attack....but only by alittle. That was enough time for the ray of light to pierce Raiden in the right shoulder.

Raiden immediately let out a horrifying shrill which would make anyone around him flinch. The ray of light hit and it hit well. Raiden had dense skin, but it wasn't enough to take on the holy ray of light. The shot had dug deep into his shoulder from the front side. The gash was like a small like crater in his shoulder. Raiden immediately grabbed his wounded shoulder covering up the blow, and as a unhelpful impluse to ease the pain. Raiden fell down to one knee as the burning pain in his shoulder grew. The holy water was really doing a number on him.

Raiden let out another shrill in pain. This was terrible...Am...Am I going to die? Right here...in this place? N-No...it can't be... Raiden on one knee still slowly looked up at AiAiAi. He remained silent, but just stared at her. H-How can she be s-so strong? Raiden wanted to fight still, but his body wouldn't move. Accompanied by the numbness of his body...his functions as well...began to shut down temporarily. Right then and there, Raiden was knocked out. He couldn't move...he couldn't speak...and now he couldn't even open his eyes.

Raiden was temporarily out...and yet AiAiAi was still standing. In Raiden's postition, things weren't looking to well. Now, this woman can do whatever she wants...even possibly kill him while he's down.

[The Dreamer]

AiAiAi sighed softly, only a few simple halos of the whips remaining, she walked over to him. Not one to pke her prod, she simply began to talk as long nailed claws began to move, forming waves of the appropriate healing power. After all you can't heal a demon with angelic powers- it would kill them. Hands glowing darkly as she 'threaded' the wound.

"You should realize, not all women are mmrow...'bubble headed'. You have a good base, though not enough follow through. Too bad, you would have hit me if you had used a long practiced backlash move. Sadly," she purred, tugging the threads tightly," you didn't. I bet you have plenty more fight in you though. You're such a sweety. I think just a simple dinner and walk on the beach will suffice for us. I wouldn't want to see such simple a soul be hurt by the likes of Mean Ol' AiAiAi."

Giggling, she ruffled his hair, pulling the wound shut and nodding as it instantly healed. "So for now," she pinned a note to his shirt, "you have a nice nap."
