"Uh, wow," Setsu says, mostly just to say something to show she's listening. She's kind of wondering about who the guys in the fight were, but it doesn't seem super important, or at least not important enough to ask about.

"Yeah, sounds like somethin' to see doesn't it?" Harou nods his head energetically.
"And get this. She starts grabbing and tossing them back! Spinning them like flying rectangles of death! The guy doing this almost kata-like series of steps knocking the books aside with his forearms while closing in on the girl. Some kind of karate thing I hear. So they say THAT was the final straw" Harou continues.
"The karate?" Ayaka asks.
"No, the books! Mrs. Nawasaki, the librarian, broke the thing up and apparently was pretty frightening doing it. Must have been 'cause nobody can agree on if the fight continued after that" he finishes.
"Guess whoever those guys are they're another one for the list" Ayaka comments at the end.

"Yeah," Setsu says. It definately sounds like it was pretty interesting. "Have they been in a lot of fights lately?" she asks reffering to the girls.

"Yep" Ayaka chimes in. "Between the ones we just mentioned and various skirmishes and incidents they've been rumored to have had inside their own dojo they've been in at least eight during the last week and a half!".

"Wow," Setsu says again. It does seem like a lot of fights. "Isn't that kind of strange for Aikidoists though?"

"Really weird. The style's way more than a little far from being offensive. Something's really got them riled up and part of me doesn't wanna know what!" Harou replies back.

Setsu on the other hand kind of wants to know. It doesn't seem like she'd get that answer though without asking, and she's definately not going to do that. "Well, you'd probably want to know if it was you, right?" she observes, not actually thinking that's the case.

"Huh, I guess I never really thought about it like that" Harou says with a thoughtful look.
"Well then it's settled. They'll be our next targets!" Ayaka declares while clapping her hands together excitedly.

"Er... ok," Setsu responds. She definately didn't see that comming, and for some reason the decision took her by surprise.

"Oh, that's right. I guess an explanation is in order" Ayaka says with an apologetic look. "You see we" she motions between herself and Harou "keep tabs on up and coming fighters at the school and then when they're just getting well-known we take them on ourselves!"
"It's not as shady as it sounds. It can be great practice and a good way to meet and trade tips with great people" Harou cuts in.
"And an excellent way to build notoriety! There are special privileges here for good fighters just like there are for good athletes!" Ayaka continues "In fact seeing how well you did against the ninja the other night we were actually hoping you wouldn't mind joining up with us".
"But if you don't want to that's fine" Harou finishes.

"Yeah, sure," Setsu says. Although she probably doesn't sound very sure, she can't think of a reason why not to, so she actually is pretty sure.

"Excellent! Glad to have you aboard Setsu" Ayaka claps her hands together happily. "Now who has an idea for a first plan of attack?"
"I got a pretty good one" a different voice speaks up.
Walking towards the table the three of you sit at are three gruff looking second years. One walks at the front of the group with short black hair and a black eye, another wears his uniform slightly open at the top and has brown hair tied back into a short pony tail, the third is tall with brown hair and walks with a slight limp.
"Should have figured they'd be back" Harou sighs.
"We've got some time before they're right on us. Who is taking who?" Ayaka asks.

"They are...?" Setsu wants to know first, although she does have a guess in mind.

"Looks like someone's detention sentence got cut short" Harou calls back before muttering to Ayaka "I've got black-eye".
"Those would be the delinquents we trashed the other day" Ayaka explains in a taunting tone adding a subdued "pony tail is grabby and limpy kicks mostly. Which you want?"

"You know... I'm not sure you mentioned that part," Setsu notes. Although she remembers being told their table previously belonged to delinquents, she does not remember being told they were deliquents they disposed of. Of course her memory is pretty bad at times, so it's quite possible.

Harou dashes forward with his right foot forward punching towards Black-eye's chest. His opponent manages to knock the attack to the side despite his injured condition proving this fight will not be an easy one.
"Really? I could have sworn I did, sorry" Ayaka apologetically replies as the delinquent with a limp makes his move. An attempted roundhouse kick on what appears to be his better off leg aimed at Ayaka's left side. The one with the pony tail is right behind him preparing to interfere with either Ayaka's reaction or interference from Setsu.

Though making the first move isn't her favorite thing, the fight is already going, and if she waits to see what the pony tail guy does it might be to late to stop. Setsu tries to sweep the guy to start with.

Ayaka puts up an arm to block the roundhouse kick, bracing the block with her other hand. It looks like it is going to work. Exactly what provokes the pony-tailed delinquent's intervention.
As he is moving in for some kind of grab his motion is interrupted by Setsu's heel crashing into the ball of his foot. Sweeping him off of his feet and catching him just a bit off guard. He lands with a bit of grace but clearly takes some damage from the fall.
"Nice one!" Ayaka compliments you as she steps forward into her opponent elbow first, digging into her opponents sternum as she goes.
Harou brings his left arm up in a block knocking away his opponents punch and immediately fires the fist he has still at his side into his opponents stomach. The blow sending him reeling.
"You're new, come here often?" the pony-tailed delinquent grumbles as he reaches out for Setsu's right ankle with both of his hands.

"Not really," Setsu replies. It seems kind of obvious though, that if she's new she doesn't come here often. She tries to land a kick on the pony tailed guy with the foot he's reaching for.

When Setsu launches her kick the pony-tailed delinquent readjusts his hands catching the foot just as it raises off the ground.
"No reason to make it a habit then" he calls back shifting his hands up past your foot, left hand gripping the ankle and right hand pressing into the back of the knee causing a jolt of pain to shoot through Setsu's leg.
"..if you like that you might find yourself really falling for me!" the guy taunts. You can tell the next step is going to be some kind of trip attempt but it won't happen before Setsu has a chance to attack this guy proper.

Not totally sure what else to do, Setsu figures she will try a simple punch to the face.

A delinquents wandering eyes prove to be a liability as Setsu manages to stop his attempts to pull her off balance with a punch to the face! His grip loosens as his eyes tear up and his face scrunches in pain.
Harou ducks a right hook from his opponent and delivers a hard low kick of his own. As the top of his foot crashes into the delinquents left knee causing him to buckle.
Ayaka attempts an upward thrusting palm that just barely misses the kicker's chin. Said kicker reciprocating with a snapping kick to her stomach knocking her away from him for better distance to attack from or counter.

Although she feels kind of bad about it, Setsu tries to land a kick again, aiming for his gut. Her moves just haven't been very sophisticated so far...

Despite the damage he took in the last exchange Setsu's opponent steps back out of the way of her kick dodging it and then grabbing her foot with his left hand in the same motion.
"A slow learner sweetheart? Grabs are my thing!" he taunts as he steps in with his right foot and extending his right hand out in an attempt to grab Setsu's collar.
Haraou's opponent takes advantage of the fact that he is low to the ground and rams into him with his right shoulder. Harou brings his arms up to block but definitely takes some damage.
Ayaka takes the kick from her opponent in stride and in a spinning step motion goes low to the ground and with a deft movement yanks the guy's bad leg out from under him. The maneuver sending the delinquent tumbling to the ground.

This time Setsue just focuses on trying to get away from him and hopefully distance herself a little. In retrospect, she probably should have avoided getting in that position again.

Setsu moves to step away from her opponents grab but doesn't quite make it. The delinquents hand now firmly gripping her uniform's collar. Seeking to make the most of his grip the guy turns himself so that his back is leaning into Setsu and is preparing to throw her over his shoulder!

Post by not4haruka on Nov 8, 2011 11:49:03 GMT -5
Again it's probably not the most sophisticated move, but hoping to prevent that Setsu tries to grab onto the guy in a way that prevents him from throwing her.

Setsu's oppoent's grip is firm. His moving into her with his left hip as he lifts you and begins the throw is certainly of marked quality. He reaches the climax of his lift and goes for the toss..
"Hurhff!....wait...hurf!...what the?"
..only to find his enemy is still on him. Having grabbed onto her thrower Setsu has prevented the attack. Now to stage a comeback!
