"Well there was a ninja but I think he is gone." Rikimaru looks this guy up and down for a second before speaking again." Well if you'll be excusing me..." Rikimaru will try to step around him while keeping his guard up in case of an attack.

(Actually you're at the other end of the alleyway, the one facing the street. The other guy is just halfway to you coming from the movie theater exit.)
"Ninja?" the guy asks with an eyebrow raised. "Sounds like fun but if he's already hidden it'll be more trouble than it's worth". Rikkimaru doesn't need to see this guy's eyes to feel them lock on to him, narrow in anticipation.
"Not sneak said we should stay away from you guys but I've been aching to see the man who sent Ardeesh packing. How about a having alright a quick go here and now? Kill some time before the previews?"

"It would be irresponsible for me to engage you after just getting out of the hospital but I get the feeling this isn't one of those 'choice' deals is it?" Rikimaru grips the handle of his cane in anticipation for the living legends answer.

The guy frowns.
"What better way to knock the rust off and get back into it? something real quick, a single blow..."
Suddenly, out of the smoke comes a very familiar voice that cries out "How's this for a single blow?!"
Yukiko comes running through the smoke stopping just short of Rikkimaru's probable opponent. After she stops her forward motion she spins on the ball of her left foot and comes around into a sleek spin kick aimed for his head! Though it is far from shabby all it takes is a slip of the forearm for this lean guy to halt and knock down the kick.
With a short hop forward the guy puts himself evenly between Rikkimaru and Yukiko. "Two on one?" he smiles. "Are those safe enough odds for a light spar?"

First he addresses Yukiko "be careful he is really dangerous and I don't want you getting hurt trying to help me." Rikimaru finds a safe place to put his glasses while saying to the bruce lee dude. "Lets get this started then."
Rikimaru begins to circle while moving in for a quick jab at his opponents face with his left hand to both keep him at arms length and to try open up his body for a hit with the right hand.

As Rikkimaru jabs his opponent simultantiously blocks up with his left arm ("hou") and simultaniously steps forward and punches with his right striking Rikkimaru in the chest!("Aahi!") Even holding back the blow knocks Rikkimaru back into the wall. He gets the feeling that were he not exceptionally balanced he may have hit his head as opposed to his back.
"I should say the same to you!" Yukiko calls out as she initiates a leaping side kick. Turning halfway from Rikkimaru the guy hops to the left side of the kick. Then, taking advantage of Yukiko coming to a landing right next to him he side kicks her in the stomach ("houh!") causing her to stumble back the way she came from.

OOG: shouldn't it be his turn? If it is then ignore the next part.
Rikimaru steps forward and swings overhead with his cane in an arc while trying to space himself so that he can't just block and hit.

He makes a short moves to the side of the swing taking his eyes off Rikkimaru for not a second. Immediately after this Yukiko attempts to catch him off guard with a three-kick volley! Your opponent blocks right roundhouse and left hook kicks with a deft motion of his forearm but the final side kick he catches with both hands.
"You are too slow. Maybe you should try some punches?" he says with a sly smile.
"And you're too confident!" Yukiko shouts jerking her foot up out of his grip and bringing it back down in an ax kick. Though it is nicely executed it is to no avail as your opponent slips to the inside of her body and delivers a double-palm to her stomach sending Yukiko head over heels!

Rikimaru will rush forward looking like he is going to stab but instead he will juke left and spin right using his spin technique to bring his cane to his back and to be between yukiko and him.

As Rikkimaru moves he notices his opponent shifting along with the attacks path of movement, staying ready to defend but not instigating a defense any sooner than necessary. He steps back out of the way of the strike and grabs the middle of the cane and sweeps his left foot across him, his heel colliding with Rikkimaru's shin.
Immediately after he begins to move the cane out from Rikkimaru but is forced to stop for just a moment as Yukkiko comes in with a flying crescent kick aimed at your opponent's face. He tries to switch hands letting go with his left for a block and grabbing with is right, however there is a slight window in which his grip is not the greatest...

OOG: guess my post didn't stick last time.
Rikimaru will use eight trigrams 2 strikes on the bruce lee posers wrist with his left hand while pulling away with his right hand hoping the strike weakens his wrist enough to get free and is distracting enough to allow an opening for Yukiko to take advantage of.

Rikkimaru's rapid one! two! not only loosens his already loose grip but also seems to strike a nerve (so to speak) as his opponents arm twitches involuntarily for just a moment. It is during this moment of surprise that Yukiko draws her out-stretched leg to the ground and pulls her formerly grounded leg in and then thrusts out in a side-kick to your opponents chest, striking directly!
He staggers back a little bit before tensing up his entire body and bringing his hands up to his head, palms facing downward. "SSSHOoooouuuuuuuuhh!" he exhales loudly bringing his hands down across his front, muscles relaxing as he does so.
"That was really surprising! you've improved a lot" he smiles before narrowing his eyes in a devils glare. "But let's see if you can pull it off twice". He re-assumes a loose right foot in front position and waits for you two to initiate again.

Rikimaru will rush forward and while keeping his cane low to the ground then pulling up as he gets in range, hoping keeping the blade in front will let him try to parry the incoming counter.

Rikkimaru's opponent tries to grab at the cane for the beginning of a major hurt but does so with his previously struck hand. Arrogance gets the best of him! or so it would seem as he falters midway leaving a space for an attack!

Rikkimaru brings his cane in a fluid upward motion which grants his opponent only enough time to put his arm in the way. On the cane's second trip back down he grabs the cane with his other hand. His left foot barely moves as he brings it up and out, crashing the blade of his foot into Rikkimaru's previously injured side.
The blow produces a blinding pain that breifly overwhelms Rikkimaru sending him reeling a couple of steps backward. He hears Yukiko initiate her own attack on your opponent and from the sounds that issue shortly afterwards that it is not the most successful. (A shout from the guy, painful exhale from Yukiko and a heavy thud!)
When Rikkimaru recovers he sees his opponent trembling all over. Every muscle across his body ripples and his eyes are narrowed in a death-glare. He looks as if he is attempting to contain himself and succeeding just barely.
"That...was alright. You want to...try.. that again?" he asks.

whats wrong with this guy we didn't even hit him and hes getting pissed, we need to be careful.
"Is that a rhetorical question?" Rikimaru will ask the guy while keeping his guard up in case it is.

He takes a long hard look at the two of you before turning on his heel and shoving his hands in his pockets.
"No. I guess not...the movie should be starting soon anyway" he says straining to keep his voice flat. He then begins walking away, back towards the emergency exit he came through. Even Yukiko, still on her ass, can only watch in silence as this hot-headed foe makes his exit.

Rikimaru lets out a sigh as he enters the movie theater he walks over to Yukiko and offers his hand to help her up. "Are you okay Yukiko?"
Please don't run away this time.

"I'll be fine. It's you who should worry!" she says speedily uprighting herself, seemingly oblivious to Rikkimaru's offered hand.
"That look in his eyes was pure killing intent! next time he'll surely kill you".

"Thanks for the warning but just promise me you will be careful, I don't want you getting hurt because of me." Rikimaru puts his glasses back on and continues. "I guess we should go watch the movie, you should come sit with us." Rikimaru makes sure to look her over inconspicuously see if she has any particularly bad injuries.

"Hmh! don't talk like you're the only one responsible here" she scoffs while dusting herself off. "I was only passing by on my way to the.. gym. I don't have time for a movie"
From what Rikkimaru can tell she seems to be moving alright and is uninjured for the most part.

Is it? Thats the worst lie I have ever heard who pays for a movie ticket to get a shortcut?
"I'm sorry I shouldn't talk down to you like that I was just concerned is all." Rikimaru wrings his right hand and continues on. "Thank you for saving me back there I would have gotten really hurt if you didn't come to help me but I guess you don't really have time to talk I suggest you get your ticket refunded if your headed to the gym though."

"What ticket? you're weird!" she says turning to walk away "like I would ever buy a ticket to something like this".
A bit of a huff in her stride Yukiko makes her way to the end of the alley and turns and walks down the street. She makes her exit almost exactly as Diashida's nameless friend makes his enterance.
"Sorry I couldn't come sooner. Had a bit of a hang-up back there. It's all cool now though, you alright?" he asks.

"Yeah, she can be like that" he replies casting a brief glance in the direction Yukiko left.
"So you wanna head back in? The previews are almost over"

"Yeah lets go."

Rikkimaru heads back with his friend and once again reclaims his seat in the theater and just in time too! Old kung-fu music begins playing as a windy mountain clearing comes onto the screen, an old man practicing his form with power and clairity.
The movie is surprisingly complex considering what erra it supposedly belongs to. Despite the movie starting out from the old man (who is blind) and his quest to avenge fallen students the movie does a complete turn around halfway through and ends with an unexpectedly satisfying conclusion!
Afterwards the theater lights come on and everyone begins filing out of the theater.

"That was awesome, I wish that were a real weapon that would be crazy." Rikimaru says as he stands up and looks around seeing if Yukiko sneaked back in the theater or she really ditched out.

"Yeah that thing was crazy" Daiashida's nameless friend murmurs.
From just a brief look around it doesn't look like Yukiko came back in. It also looks like his opponent from earlier is still not in the best of spirits, he and his friend not looking your direction as they leave. It is also worth noting that he does not spot the two guys and the girl from earlier either.
