Ego Death.

[23:19] Kirai Kurokaiyo asks, "Jericho, fight your cousin Aiyaari for me, won't you?"
[23:20] Jericho asks, "Huh?"
[23:20] Jericho says, "Alright."
[23:20] Julius asks, "...A-And what does it matter where it came from?"
[23:20] Bas says, "Good luck, Jerry."
[23:20] Kirai Kurokaiyo says, "Aiyamari, if you can beat Jericho, you can fight Akira and Yami. "
[23:20] Kirai Kurokaiyo says, "If you beat them, I'll fight you again."

[23:20] Aiyamari Kurokaiyo asks, "Same time?"
[23:20] Yami was at it again... They were the same physically, but different in every other way. He seemed to have fallen prey to an attack on the ocular senses. The poor child was blind. Akira simply reached out to pull his brother into a one armed hug.

"All is well Yami, you have not met your end." Hopefully these words worked to calm the beast as Akira did not want traditional Yami beatdown lesson.

"Oh! Sorry! Rico, right, yes." Jerry? How silly of him. That was such a dumb name. Akira was very embarrassed by his actions adverting his gaze once more. "Sorry, once again."
(Akira Kurokaiyo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:21] Kirai Kurokaiyo says, "Indeed."
[23:21] Aiyamari Kurokaiyo says, ". . ."
[23:21] Kirai Kurokaiyo says, "If you can't beat those two fighting together, then you will have no hope of fairing any better against me."
[23:21] Kirai Kurokaiyo whispers something.
[23:21] Aki Kurokaiyo asks, "Then again who can even beat you?"
[23:22] It seemed a sparring session was about to ensue. Kieran kept his eyes on them, watching closely-- perhaps he could learn a thing or two. From the looks of it, this Aiyamari person was strong.
(Kieran)

[23:22] Reaching over, Kirai pats Aki's head gently. He chooses not to answer that question, simply maintaining that small smile of his. By now, the illusionary blindness that had overtaken Yami would begin to melt away, like black water flowing from over his eyes.
(Kirai Kurokaiyo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:22] once more rolled him their sleeves. Discouraged by adversity and challenge? This was to be expected. When going for a prize, you shouldn't be content with just second place. Nope. First place trophy and then some was going to always be the goal. Once more a ballet stance is made as Jerico is waved on.

"Challenge accepted."
(Aiyamari Kurokaiyo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:24] He realized art this point he knew if he didn't train himself. He would become to weak to able to go toe to toe with some of these people. He would see them all studying this fight. Good examples to follow. But he knew that it wouldn't get him anywhere if he didn't figure out his own ability first.

Sitting down he begin to read but pay attention to the scene.
(Tonashi Botcher)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:25] Jericho's fighting style was rather unrefined, with the lad not having received a lot of instruction as of yet in the martial arts. With a deep breath, he wills his magic to the forefront, solidifying his rudimentary stance as he stares her down, ready to be Aiyamari's first sparring opponent.

"Good luck, have fun, and stuff," he says awkwardly to his...cousin? This adoption thing was weird. Regardless, he's prepared to give everything he's got for this fight!

If she could get through him, Kirai had said it was Akira, then Yami next..!

The first move was hers.
(Jericho)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:25] Feeling his hand pat Aki on the head she winced a little not being all that used to the being patted but it made her feel like she was doing something right at least.

Though she smirked a bit seeing that he didn't answer her question.

"Hmph.."
(Aki Kurokaiyo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:27] Kirai Kurokaiyo says, "...Or something."
[23:27] Akira Kurokaiyo says, "Oh dear..."
[23:27] Akira Kurokaiyo asks, "Rico, are you alright?"
[23:27] Jericho exclaims, "...Heh!"
[23:27] Jericho exclaims, "Yeah!"
[23:29] Julius crosses his arms, humming!

"They seem about even stevens! My Emperor Eye is tellin' me Jericho has it on the money though. He's got the right footwork!"
(Julius)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:29] Watching the two go at it was nothing short of a magnificent display, he could feel himself becoming more and more eager to try sparring himself-- though that could wait for when he actually learned magic.

Kieran's attention would briefly shift upwards to the stars which littered the night sky.

"Beautiful..."
(Kieran)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:30] Ai had to adjust to the new style of fighting. Jerico was much slower than Aki it'd appear, however he hit leagues harder than their younger cousin. A head tilt is made as the pitter patter of Jerico's feet slipping from behind the tree could be heard, causing a plant to hatch into the teen's mind. Awaiting for the dreaded charge, Aiya drifts from around the tree and lifts a knee to send directly into the nose of his cousin.

Should such a thing caused Jerico to collapse then Ai would indefinitely pause.

"Come when ready." casually speaks Ai.
(Aiyamari Kurokaiyo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:31] Jericho grinned - that had actually been pretty fun! He learned as the battle raged on, pivoting around Aiyamari's strikes, the two of them exchanging blows as they maneuvered about the battlefield with magically-enhanced agility. It's a close first tussle, with her getting the better of him with a knee to the nose that leaves him sprawling on the ground.

"Oof…"

'Rico' gets right on up though, ready for more, a wide grin perched on his face.

"You got it!"

Their bout continues!
(Jericho)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:31] Kirai Kurokaiyo asks, "Emperor's Eye, hm?"
[23:32] * You have been awarded 15 Roleplay Points! *
[23:33] Julius says, "...I was usin' the wrong eye."
[23:33] Kieran says, "Powerful."
[23:33] Aki Kurokaiyo says, ".."
[23:33] Kirai Kurokaiyo says, "Hmhmhm.."
[23:33] Tonashi Botcher says, "Tuh"
[23:33] Fighting was very hard to watch. The idea of hurting someone just wasn't sensible in his mind just yet. Still he watched in awe as the two went at it! It was fast paced, hyperactive action! The two were in a league of their own...

Akira was already placing himself beneath them... Oh man. "Good fight you two."
(Akira Kurokaiyo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:33] Kirai Kurokaiyo says, "Well, Akira, Yami, you two are up next."
[23:33] Kirai Kurokaiyo says, "Have fun~"
[23:33] Akira Kurokaiyo says, "U-Uh..."
[23:33] Akira Kurokaiyo says, "Yami's sleepy, I g-guess I can give it a shot..."
[23:34] Aki Kurokaiyo says, "He was always a sleepy person."
[23:34] Akira Kurokaiyo says, "Yes, very."
[23:34] Kirai Kurokaiyo says, "Hm... Then just wait. I told Ai she'd have to fight you both at once, it wouldn't be right to go back on that."
[23:34] Yami Kurokaiyo says, "Huh..."
[23:34] Yami Kurokaiyo says, "I ain't doing nothing."
[23:34] Akira Kurokaiyo says, "I think Yami alone could handle it, if I'm honest."
[23:34] Akira Kurokaiyo says, "I'd just slow him down, ahaha..."
[23:35] Kirai Kurokaiyo says, "That's not the point. Ai wants a rematch against me."
[23:35] similar to Aki, Ai began to learn from the battle ahead. Using the days they had been going on and on about punching tree and bricks and taking pain all geared up for this moment. Absorbing the harsh blows of Jerico and returning them in turn. Rather than ending it with a harsh knee, a backstep is made followed by a parry of the incoming kick.

A light exhale is made as such a thing cause a bit of pain to rocket through their form, however as their left hand was busy, their right lifted with full intension of shooting out a pulse of magic directly into Jerico to knock him to the ground.

"That was fun." nods the plant-like Kurokaiyo.
(Aiyamari Kurokaiyo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:35] Kirai Kurokaiyo says, "I'd like to see how she fairs against you two, together."
[23:35] Bas says, "Good luck, Akira."
[23:35] Kirai Kurokaiyo says, "Though I suppose, Yami is quite the lazy child..."
[23:36] Kirai Kurokaiyo says, "And you're so very Timid, Akira."
[23:36] Aki nods in agreement
(Aki Kurokaiyo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:38] Jericho is promptly defeated by his apparently more practiced cousin, sent skidding alongst the ground once more, but this time, it appears he's done for. The lad lays there for awhile, scratching at his head, sent fumbling back by the burst of energy, but inevitably, he rises, bowing respectfully to his victorious cousin.

"Best of luck with the rest of your gauntlet, aye?"

And then he pulls back and onto the sidelines, for her next challenger to step up, whoever Kirai was set on designating....yet disappointment is clear and present as day on his face.
(Jericho)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:39] returns the bow to Jericho before going on to stare at the two twins northward.

"Ready when you two are."
(Aiyamari Kurokaiyo)
