Underneath the rain of Crimson Petals ch. 2: "NinEx: We'll get it there...eventually"

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

Kazisha was standing there one moment, calmly taking in what the other chuunin said. The next, though, she was moving. Lightning fast.

By some divine intervention of the Gods above (well, the ones that smiled enough on the unfortunate victim at least) Aseta managed to block the powerful knee blow towards his tender groin regions that sent him scraping back a few feet.

However, Kazisha - who had illicited the attack first hand - wasn't finished there. Not caring about any form of balance, and seeing her opportunity to strike her opponent again, her open palm smashed forward with vicious articulation. One hand gripped an arm, a foot planted on the ground and took root there through chakra. As the palm connected with violent anger into Aseta's right eye, the other arm was swinging. Aseta was jerked back from one flight path to continue with another, which went over Ka's head, and ended in an abrupt, hard stop against hard ground, effectively knocking the breath out of the ninja.

"You don't understand, do you?" Kazisha scoffed at Tayuumi, dusting her own hands, "I know I'm generalizing and all, but unless you get a boy in the groin, or hurt them enough, all they hear are their own bloated egos.

"And as for you," Kazisha's words were cold like winter towards Aseta-gasping-on-the-ground, "you will be the main decoy with the fellow from Rock, or so help me I'm going to kick you where it really hurts while you're down to make you understand the vitality of 'co-operation'. You'll be carrying a scroll anyway, and you can ignite that if you want to make the enemy believe you are destroying vital information."

Shima heard a snigger to the side. She twitched an ear towards Kokuo, who didn't bother to hide his open grinning, but the leopard made no move in any direction. Rather, ignoring many things, she sat on her haunches and washed her muzzle in a carefuly, precise way, as if nothing violent or interesting has caught her eye in any way.
