⇨ 03 [video/in person]

[VIDEO]

[See this? This is one Hibari Kyouya, looking rather bored - he's standing in the middle of the archery range (which is empty) with his bow in hand and his quiver of arrows slung over his shoulder. He glances around, before addressing the communication device.]

Someone fight me.

[IN PERSON]

[If there's anyone passing by the training grounds, they'll see Hibari practicing his marksmanship; feel free to join him, or challenge him to a fight. He'll gladly oblige you. Hey, he might even agree to having an archery contest!]

[she rolls underneath Hibari and gets behind him. and that is when she swings the pan right at his head]

[Intuition saves him from a concussion - he ducks just as the iron pan whooshes over his head, the wind ruffling his hair. He retaliates by whirling around and aiming to kick her hard in her side, before rolling away and standing in one smooth movement.]

[this time she is able to away from the kick just as it is about to get to her. once Hibari has moved she pauses for a moment to catch her breath. she would not be so winded if she were still a country. what an awful feeling, such a little fight has her tired already! she is reminded of when she had realized that her constitution and stamina was different than most of her peers. Hungary had struggled to make up for that... but it was apparent now, and it made her angry]

[He rolls his shoulders, sword still in hand, posture relaxed - he's ready for whatever she's going to attempt to throw at him. So far, this has been fun, but if she's not going to move, then he's going to.]

[Hungary is far too stubborn to give in, no matter how exhausted this fight will make her. she waits patiently this time, planning her next move. Hibari is free to go first...]

[Alright, time to attack again. He rushes forward, sword held at the ready, but just before it seems as if he's about to strike Hungary, he leaps high into the air, somersaulting over the other and striking out with his sword sweeping towards her head.]

[she bends at the waist, backwards, narrowly missing a stab to the face. once the sword is out of harm's way, she gets the frying pan handle into her mouth and does a backwards handspring.

after she is on her feet, she moves in for another attack with her weapon. it may look silly to some, but she uses the frying pan very seriously. it was her weapon of choice when fighting with Prussia and France, after all. she feigns for the head but suddenly moves left and attempts to knock the sword out of Hibari's hand]

[Oh, he knows all about unusual weapons. After all, he usually uses tonfa, which are more suited to defence than offence, but he manages to make them work.

After he lands, he twists around immediately, reading through the feint easily and flicking his sword to his other hand to avoid it being knocked from his hand. His now free hand moves to block the frying pan, though the force behind it does cause his eyes to narrow slightly, betraying the pain that he feels. He doesn't stay stationary for long, though, gripping the frying pan so that Hungary cannot pull it away, and with the sword, stabbing towards the other's head.]

[even with her frying pan being held captive, Hungary doesn't let go. she moves her upper body this way and that to avoid the sword and then brings her leg up to knee hibari in the gut]

[Using the same trick that he had used on her, huh? He lets go of the frying pan and quickly moves to avoid the knee, dodging to the side and drawing back his arm for another thrust at her torso before backing off slightly, out of range of the frying pan.]

[she is able to swing again just as Hibari pulls away]

...Tch.

[again, she takes the time to pause and size up her opponent. he's really fast, really good. they both may be at a draw. not that she minded training. this was helping Hungary learn her limitations in this human body... but it still frustrated her to no end!]

[Well, this woman was a fairly good sparring partner as far as he was concerned - she was able to block and dodge the majority of his attacks, though he's still sure that he would win if he had his tonfa, his rings, and his flames weren't sealed off.]

... Hn.

[He moves, circling Hungary slowly, always watching. He's fully prepared to take his time.]

[she begins to circle the other way, keeping her eyes level with Hibari. this would be fun if she were not so concerned with what she didn't have, as opposed to what she did.

at last Hungary moves, ready to end this. she rushes to Hibari and ducks low in an attempt to trip him with her legs]

[Looks like this is the end. He jumps up high to avoid the attempt to trip him, executing a perfect flip in midair to strike out at her throat with the sword.]

[she rolls away at the very last instant, but Hibari's sword catches her dress instead, in the back, and the roll causes it to tear. not that she really cares, but she knows she lost]

[He smirks when he sees the tear, landing smoothly on the ground behind Hungary before he turns to watch her, stabbing his sword into the ground in front of him.]

......

[He inclines his head towards her in thanks for the match. Oh, he still hasn't introduced himself yet, has he? He will if Hungary asks for his name.]

...........

[Hungary does not immediately turn around. she's angry that she lost, angry that she is human. but after calming her rage, she puts a huge smile on her face and turns around quickly to beam at Hibari. it takes every bit of self-restraint to hold her back from clenching her fists]

You are quite the fighter!

So I've been told.

[He can see the restraint that the woman is putting on herself, and he can also see that the smile is a false one, a front she puts up for losing. His eyebrows raise slightly - the distance that they moved is barely noticeable, but it's enough to express his surprise. A woman with discipline that knew how to fight. Hmmmm. On the edge of herbivore and omnivore she goes.]

[she had to know how to fight! not only had she protected weaker countries like a bodyguard, but she had also fought for her independence on several occasions. horrible battles, all of them. her smile brightens]

How did you learn?

[A shrug here, before he pulls his sword out of the ground and wipes it off and slides it into its sheath.]

Disciplining herbivores.

Herbivores? You mean plant-eaters?

Weaklings. Those that had nothing better to do than to disturb the peace of Namimori.

[well, she doesn't know anything about Namimori, so she decides not to pry. it wasn't her business after all]

So you punish them.

Correct.

[He's only protecting what is his.]

[she understands that, of course. and she nods, not mockingly, serious]

I hope that you have been successful thus far.
