Summary:
A friendly match, if a bit one-sided, between kunoichi of Kumogakure and Sunagakure.
"Steel Soul Tourney - Muddy Cat: Michiko vs. Shemri"
Dammed Arena - Floor [Kirigakure]
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
At the foot of the great march of bones that dams this tall canyon of blue-gray granite, under the shadows of the stands: the Kirigakure arena. Rivulets of water still escape the base of the dam and dampen the gravely bed of the dry river. The length of the canyon is limited by a raised platform at the south end featuring the referee's post and a large display board announcing the details of the match.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Adjusting her jacket slightly, the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure known as Toujitakumi Juudai stands before her seat at the side of the arena. She looks up to the sky as the afternoon is covered by a soft fog that invades the arena as well. She looks to either side of the arena and then states, "Today, we bear witness to the battle of Iwata Michiko and Maneshi Shemri!" She declares and then settles into her seat, "Fighters to your position." She gestures to either side of the arena.
Michiko has finally recovered from her match against Kiyoshi, and now it was time to fight again. She had told the Tsuchikage that she would have to delay their match, as she wished to pass the first round of the tournament first. Perhaps that was a bit selfish of her, but the tournament was going to last quite a while. There was plenty of opportunity to face the Kage. Upon being announced, she made her way into the arena, giving her opponent a bow. "Maneshi? Interesting… I actually have one of your kin working with Kumogakure," she says casually.
RP: Michiko joins the roleplay.
COMBAT: It is now Michiko's turn.
COMBAT: Michiko focuses 6819 stamina to turn it into 8888 usable chakra!
Time for round two! Although Shemri's not too optimistic about her chances this time either. X) Rumor has it this Iwata-san is a tough cookie. Still, Shemri ultimately didn't come here to win. She came to learn, and the best teacher is an opponent who surpasses you (or at least knows some tricks you don't). 'Course, the longer Shemri manages to remain in the tourney, the more learning opportunities she'll have…
Shemri comes out into the fighting area with Shiikaa already perched on her shoulder. No point in walking on the gravel again if he can avoid it. :P Shemri reaches her mark, bows, and *POOF*, Shiikaa turns into his fused form with Shemri, complete with gauntlet, tail, and leg. "We are ready. May we all leave this arena greater."
RP: Shemri joins the roleplay.
«OOC» Shemri says, "+et please?"
Looking at the various people who cheer for their perspective combatant, Juudai nods to the proper amount of cheering before gesturing to the arena, "Begin!" She declares and then lights up another cigar and sighs as she takes in the tobacco and then releases it. For now, she shall see how this goes.

«OOC» Michiko says, "Dat range"
Michiko inclines her head lightly to the Maneshi, chakra flaring up around her before disappearing altogether. The girl is anticipating a tough match… With a few handseals, she gathers chakra, alighting the arena with small bullets of flame that wash over across the floor, each and every one aimed at Shemri as she sees just what the Maneshi is capable of. Just because she knows someone of the woman's clan doesn't mean she knows her fighting style.

COMBAT: There are no more attacks for you to defend against.
«OOC» Michiko says, "Excessive"
Why must all of Shemri's opponents in this tourney be fire-users? -.-; Right out of the gate, Shemri finds herself forced to rely on her most strenuous extreme-speed defense, and even that doesn't quite save her from the first fireball. x.x If this is what Michiko can do with simple attacks, Shemri's in pretty big trouble. After blitzing around the arena to dodge the remaining fireballs, Shemri uses her last burst of speed to fling herself at Michiko. She drives low with a kick at the side of Michiko's knee, then springs overhead with a push from her sashes, making a passing chop at Michiko's neck. Finally her cat tail flicks out as she lands on the other side, aiming to thump into Michiko's midriff.
COMBAT: Shemri attacks Michiko with EXTRA-LIMB-ACROBAT-COMBO with a roll of: 78

COMBAT: Michiko wins the roll.
COMBAT: Michiko attacks Shemri with DEMON-GRAVES with a roll of: 78
Michiko peers a bit at the Maneshi, raising an eyebrow at the speed at which she moves. It was impressive. Not wanting to be caught off-guard, she is pre-emptive in forming barriers around herself, walls shooting up to keep her secure on all sides. As soon as Shemri's attacks die down, Michiko performs another set of seals. With these, a hand of pure earth rockets out of the ground and attempts to grab Shemri, dragging her into the ground in a stone coffin if successful.
COMBAT: Michiko finishes her turn.

«OOC» Michiko is … Glad you are fatigued
Okay, fire and earth. Shemri will have to watch her footing during this match. :P Shemri blinks away from the grasping dirt hand, rebounding off the arena wall and coming back at Michiko from an upward angle. Claws extend from Shemri's fur-enclosed fingers as she flies, and she makes a vicious swipe — a little too soon? Nope, her reach is longer than it looks, thanks to a little wind chakra.
COMBAT: Shemri attacks Michiko with WIND-SLASH-II with a roll of: 85
COMBAT: Shemri finishes her turn.

COMBAT: Michiko wins the roll.
COMBAT: Michiko attacks Shemri with EARTH-FLOW-RIVER with a roll of: 75
COMBAT: Michiko attacks Shemri with EARTH-WHIRLPOOL with a roll of: 56
Michiko blinks, watching Shemri come at her from the wall and glancing off to the side. Suddenly, a burst of fire sends her out of the way of the claws, which is probably a good thing for Michiko. Then she directs herself upwards using that same blast of flame so that she is above Shemri and able to shoot down a torrent of mud that would keep the Maneshi stuck to the ground. Upon landing, the earth would swirl, further preventing escape for the feline-duo.
COMBAT: Michiko finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Shemri's turn.

COMBAT: Shemri defends against EARTH-WHIRLPOOL(56) attack from Michiko with a TENSE…13
COMBAT: Shemri loses the roll and sustains 0 damage.
Shemri sees the mud coming from above and arms one of her sash ends with a kunai. It strikes upward at the descending blob, trying to part it with wind chakra. Unfortunately it doesn't split enough, and the mud splatters down on Shemri, pinning her and subsequently trapping her against the ground. >.<; Well, not much that can be done for the moment…
COMBAT: Shemri finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Michiko's turn.
COMBAT: Michiko attacks Shemri with DRAGON-FIRE-TECHNIQUE with a roll of: 42
COMBAT: Michiko attacks Shemri with DRAGON-FIRE-TECHNIQUE with a roll of: 51
Michiko doesn't waste much time in trying to take her opponent down. The less this fight drags on, the better it is for her. Handseals are formed, and she exhales a stream of fire that burns even when it's far from the target. Shemri would be able to feel the lovely heat that has been noted to be so like a dragon's fire.
COMBAT: Michiko finishes her turn.

«OOC» Michiko says, "Dang… You got some health"
Yeah, that burns alright. >.<; On the plus side, though, it also softens the hardened mud that was keeping Shemri locked down. Shemri's sashes lift her off her back and fling her away, escaping the full brunt of Michiko's fire. "Very impressive," Shemri grunts, drawing some more kunai. "I shall be fortunate if I can make you bleed before this is done." But, that's exactly what Shemri intends to do. >) Flashing forward, she flies past Michiko with a cutting swipe, then skids to a halt before doing the same thing at a slightly different angle. Over and over she attacks with blades and claws, hoping to claim at least that she was never so outdone as to let her opponent walk away spotless.
COMBAT: Shemri attacks Michiko with EXTRA-LIMB-BEAST-BLITZ with a roll of: 92

COMBAT: Michiko wins the roll.
COMBAT: Michiko attacks Shemri with SWAMP-OF-THE-UNDERWORLD with a roll of: 102
Michiko is hoping that this fight would end with her not coming out with a scratch… Also, she's just being extremely cautious this time around. She has been burned one too many times by arrogance. She's also been burned by fear… But regardless. The girl raises wall after wall of earth, and Shemri's claws only succeed in creating a pile of rubble. An impressive pile, but it is only stone. Then the earth would fail… Shemri would find that her feet were sticking to the ground, being sucked down by something akin to quicksand. However, instead of sand, it was a swamp.
COMBAT: Michiko finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Shemri's turn.

o/~ That sinking feeling… o/~
Yep, not a whole lot to say about this round. Shemri finds her feet caught despite an effort to blitz out of the morass. >.<; "You are very fond of such techniques, this is a fact?" Shemri sighs. Not that she can blame Michiko, it's a pretty effective strategy for dealing with a speedster.
COMBAT: Shemri finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Michiko's turn.
COMBAT: Michiko focuses 3052 stamina to turn it into 4000 usable chakra!
"Yes… I find it easier to hit an unmoving target. I do apologize if it seems a bit unfair," Michiko says with a bowed head, the girl noticing her chakra was a bit on the lower side. She sighs and concentrates her chakra, making it so she has some to use at the risk of her opponent being able to escape. .
COMBAT: Michiko finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Shemri's turn.
COMBAT: Shemri attempts to ESCAPE from Michiko's stun and fails!
Shemri chuckles wryly as she crouches. "I do not expect fair in a fight, even one such as this. A lack of true hostility, yes, but there is no such thing as fair." Shemri tries to dig her feet out of the muck with a kunai, but that proves fruitless. This earth isn't hard, just…super-sticky. =.=; "Of course, at the same time, I do not relish what is likely about to come." c.c;
COMBAT: Shemri finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Michiko's turn.
COMBAT: Michiko attacks Shemri with DRAGON-FIRE-TECHNIQUE with a roll of: 57
COMBAT: Michiko attacks Shemri with DRAGON-FIRE-TECHNIQUE with a roll of: 46
Michiko nods lightly. "It should … Well, you've seen this attack before." she offers an apologetic smile, then makes handseals that would unleash a torrent of fire upon Shemri. It was not her most powerful, nor her most deadly attack. But it would hurt a lot when it hit the Maneshi. Hopefully she has enough burn cream for this case…

Shemri makes one more effort to pull free, but it's no good. "Shiikaa, there is no point in both of us getting burned!" Reluctantly, Shiikaa *POOFS* back into cat form and leaps clear of the swamp. ^u.u^
When the flames clear, Shemri stands (more because she has no choice with her feet firmly stuck than anything else) with smoking everything. -.-~ "I believe…I would like to surrender now."
COMBAT: Juudai attacks Shemri with YANK with a roll of: 18
«OOC» Michiko says, "et, please :)"
Watching the fight carefully, the Tsuchikage leans forward. She was enjoying the fight but Michiko was clearly holding the upper hand here. As that last attack went off though, Juudai's eyes went a bit wide. She watched how the attacks went off and how much damage they were set to do. She lets out a breath of smoke and quickly rushes over to where the woman is. She is not fast by any standard. That was not her trick. She nonetheless attempts to help the woman up and free of her trap before nodding, "The winner is Iwata Michiko!" She declares and nods again as she helps to pull the woman up and out of the spot she is in.
COMBAT: Juudai finishes her turn.
COMBAT: It is now Michiko's turn.

COMBAT: Michiko heals Shemri for 1162 with RESTORING CHAKRA PALM.
Michiko goes over to Shemri, waiting for her to be lifted from the muck before offering a hand. "Good fight," she says, offering a smile. "You had me worried on several occasions." The girl, should the Maneshi shake her hand, would offer a bit of energy and some minor healing trough the contact. Not enough to recover, but enough to make sure the woman doesn't go unconscious on the way to the hospital.
COMBAT: Michiko finishes her turn.

Shemri nods wearily as Michiko gives her some ninja first-aid. "Many thanks. I shall enjoy watching your progress in this tourney…assuming I am well enough to sit in the stands." -.-; Well, that's that for Shemri's run!
