Post order:: tenten, akihito, Bao (ages 10 and 13 and 13)
Post master:: tenten

begin::

The 10 year old little girl sat idly on the rooftop overlooking the training arena. Master udong was meditating in the center yard. All was quiet and serene. Tenten carefully observed her master, she remained on the rooftop for she was not allowed in the outdoor doujou during certain hours of the day. She itched to train again, though, but she knew the dangers of getting caught. Besides, today, she was supposed to help her mother and the other healers at the healing circle two houses down. Outside of the doujou, everyone bussled and huslsed for the arrival of the Yakuza Leader. Tenten didn't concern herself with the mafia, she only wished to fight and one day earn her mother's freedom, but that won't be happening for she was engaged to Bao. Bell hopped onto the tree from the rooftop. "No, Bell" she whispered in chinese. Her disobedient cat climbed further up and tenten bit her lip. If she moved from her spot, she was sure to get caught. The beating drums could be heard, disturbing the serenity. Master udong rose from his meditating position to welcome somebody at the gates. Tenten slithered along the roof like a snake, careful to be spotted or to fall and watched as the master greeted a japanese man wearing sunglasses and a little boy beside him, standing obediently still. Tenten tried to get a closer look, but her foot caaught on the tin roof and made a gentle "thud" sound. Luckily, neither of the adults took any notice, but Tenten momentarily caught the boy's eye. She ducked down again behind the tin roof, sure that the boy had spotted her. She prayed that he wouldn't tell.

Akihito was suppose to come with his father this time to China to have a peaceful conversation with the boss of the Chinese mafia. He was suppose to come here and get experince and this was hsi first time outside of the country so he wanted to make an impression. His mother had died not too long ago and he had decided that if he was suppose to be a Yakuza's son he might as well act the part. He walked with an air of confidence that didn't fit with his small size. He had been training long and hard with the sword and as such he would now be taking part in a duel against Bao the son of the boss. He was not nervous, he knew he could beat the child. Akihito was not arrogant. He just had an air of superiority about him. All of it was an act though. It was frustrating but if he did not look scary then he couldn't really be called the Yakuza's son now could he. He walked through the entrance when something caught his eye. It was a movement. He knew someone was there and someone was watching. If it were people that were here to greet him there would be no reason to hide and when he looked up that's excatly what the figure did. However he felt no malicious intent coming form the direction so he just let it pass. He walked in without a word to anyone. He was technically a higher rank than everyone in there so he need not greet them. However they all made sure to bow before the Young master of the Eastern Dragons. He was a man that would one day be feared by all that sought to bring harm to his city or the peopel around on, or even if they just got in his way. Atleast that was how he had to act. *I' mover joyed I can be here...* he laid the sarcasm on thick in his mind as he made his way through the doors to the room where they would meet the Chinese Mafia boss.

Bao::
Bao arrogantly spat at the ground. Where was Tenten? his beloved bride to be? He sent for her at the Healer's circle, but the stupid messanger came back with absolutely nothing. he wanted Tenten to watch him beat the Japanese Yakuza's son. he wanted to prove to her that she was going to marry the Lion-dragon Huang of China. "That Girl" he said spitefully. The messenger quivered and cowered before him, as he should for he knew what was coming next. Bao took the staff that laid o nthe floor and beat the messanger with it five times. Bloody and bruised, the messanger was escorted out. that's what i'm going to do to that girl if she doesn't come watch the fight by my side" Master Udong, the second best martial arts teacher entered the front gates, escorting along a boy about his age as well as a Large Japanese Man. Father was busy with the Yakuza leader, so this must be the boy's guard. Bao rose from his throne as the group approached. "Akihito Hanayama. I love to welcome to you to my princedom" he wore a strange smirk on his face I would love for you to meet my bride as well, if she could be found. She is quiet a beauty. A prized wife indeed. How about you, Akihito? how is your lovely fiancee? i bet she is not as beautiful as mine. If only youcould see her" his tone was full of spite. There was no hiding his eager ness to beat the Eastern dragon heir. This would place him at the top of the charts. he would command respect not only in all of china, but in the Kobe prefecture of Japan as well...maybe one day he and tenten can even rule the world. If only the girl could be found...

Tenten::
Tenten slid down from the roof and back onto solid ground as soon as the group left. They were headed into the main building, and that was a place she wanted to avoid. The troublesome cat Bell, jumped down from her treeperch to meet her mistress on the ground. "You naughty kitty" tenten said. Just then three people: two healers that worked with tenten and the son of a healer came running, panting. "Master...bao" they said in between ghasps. The three leaned over each other as if they've been searching the entire base for her. "Master Bao requires of your presence at the main building" Tenten raised an eyebrow "Yeah, i don't think so" tenten replied. She didn't want to see bao. "Please, our father was beaten for he was sent to find you and you didn't turn up" Tenten groaned, she hated it when others sufered because of her. "fine, i'll go she rolled her eyes and fixed her traditional qui pao dress and allowed the three to escort her into the main building. Upon entering, she met the eyes of the visitor again, and disdainfuly madea face when she saw her husband to be. she let them guide her to the seat beside bao. "This is my bride, Tenten Chang" bao said proudly. "and your sister by adoption" tenten mumbled under her breath

Akihito eye Bao with almost no interest. He did not like the boy. He had an arrogance about him that made Akihito's stomach churn. The boy had a lust for power that Akihito had to be warry about. Other than that he seemed to be th kind of person who has a weak mind. His whole being was cold at this point. He sent out a wave just to let Bao know that it was he who was superior to him. Akihito then saw the new visitor. This was definitely a change in pace. She was a very pretty girl but Akihito did not pay much a attention. It would be disrespectful to do so. Besides if he weren't acting like the boss of a Yakuza he would definitely be much more self concious around her. Girls were always a mystery to him. He could never make many friends so he knew even less about females than normal guys. However he would not show this. "So your marrying your own sister, I'm not sure if I should be impressed or pity you for having to go so low." Akihito said. It was a low blow but he made it. He did not want to lose in from of his lovely wife. He looked at her again. He looke dher up and down. NOw he was being rude and did not care. he made sure that his interest in her was more so than his interest in Bao. This would enrage him before the fight and he would make more mistakes. Not like Akihito was worried. At this point he was just playing around with the Chinese asshole. "Vey nice one you got there, hmm, how about we make a wager. If I win I get to choose what to do with the girl. And if you win, well what are the odds of that happening". Akihito was playing the role of an aristocrat brat now and looking pretty good. "What do you say young lady?"

Bao post::

Bao stared at Akihito, his nostrils flaring and his pupils constricted. How dare her talk to him that way?!? and to address his bride to be in such a rude manner. Did Akihito Hanayama actually think he was going win in this fight? Bao gritted his teeth, this was never going to happen, although he didn't want to risk his beautiful bride to be. Bao pulled tenten's hair backwards, and pushed her to the ground. "you'd do well to talk to your future husband in a respectful manner" he snapped. Grabbing the ten year old by the collar, he haulder her back up and placed a hand around her. "a challenge you say?" there was no way in hell on earth he was placing tenten as a bet. She was to be his future wife and nothing will change that. He smiled wickedly at the newcomer. It would make for an interesting fight however. Of course on the off chance that he would lose to Akihito, he can always break the contract and keep tenten for himself and give him one of the servan'ts other daughters. "I accept your challenge" Bao said. "she is my sister, however only by marriage. Her whore mother is my father's concubine. His least favorite, which is why he placed her in charge of the healing circle. If you get injured in this fight, that is where you'll be headed. you better be sure they do a good job in fixing you. though i doubt any amount of medication can once im done with you" Bao said arrogantly. He pulled on one of tenten's pigtails and pretended he was about to smack her. Tenten flinched wehn the arm came down. but instead of hitting her, Bao held her close to him and gave her a gentle peck on the cheek. "she's mine" he mouthed. "you'll never have her"

Tenten Post::

Bao pulled one of Tenten's pigtails down and pushed her to the floor. That was her punishment for talking out of plac in the great hall. he pulled her upwards by her collar and forced her on his side. Tenten was never more disgusted in her entire life. She kept her face neutral for she didn't wish to offend the guest or the master, however her eyes pleaded help. When the question was directed to her, tenten didn't dare answer. She knew if bao touched her again, she would beat his ass, but that would be too much especially in teh great hall. Master Li Huang would have her executed on the spot, fiancee or not. Tenten kept her eyes down, as was custom for chinese girls. She didn't want to look into the japanese boy's face anymore. His chinese was flawless and she wondered where he could have learned it. She knew some japanese herself, though she wasn't fluent, and she knew for a fact Bao struggled in japanese. "Help" she whispered in japanese. "please help me" Bao looked at her and thankfully dismissed it as her usual mumbling. Bao laughed at agreed to the bet, which tenten knew was never going to happen, knowing bao. Even if he did lose, there was no way he was giving up Tenten, unfortunately. he pulled tenten around as if she was one of his training dummies and even at one point pretended to slap her. his form sucked and her hand twitched due to reflex. She was so close to stopping that faux hit, but if she did she would have gotten in trouble. He plantd a kiss on her cheek, which she would later scrub with hot water, alcohol, soap, bleach, and disinfectant. she shuddered on the inside, however her outer appearance remained neutral.

Akihito did not believe a word that came out of this snake mouth. He was alwaysguy and at the moment he had good reason to be. He would always be suspicious of him, he was the kind of guy who would go back on a fromal cntract just as fast as anyone or even faster. He a filth and he showed it in the way he treated his bride to be. It was disgusting and AKihito had to keep a cool and neutral face. The only people in the room that could speak Japanese was Mastter Udong, himself and Surprisingly Ten Ten. She had asked him for help with the little that she knew and AKihito would respond to that. He gave the slightest of nods that only someone looking for it would have notice. He looked at Bao. His demeanor was one that was of cool disgust. He wanted Bao to know how much he was starting to hate this kid. But at the same time he held etiquette. "Well then how about we sign a contract then" . Akihito knew that signing a contract would signifiy some level of brotherhood amoung them. If they could bothe sign the contract then it showed for a fact that they could trust one another to hold up their end of the deal. It wouldn't take long to write up a contracts. "What do you say, signing in blood should do nicely". Akihito knew how to play the role nicely. He just had to make sure that Bao was someone who could be trusted. Bao probably could not see it but Akihito was testing him. Bao had already shown himself to be slim but if he could atleast honor his commitment then maybe he and Akihito could have atleast some level of cooperation with each other. If not then Akihito knew where he and Bao stood with each other.

Bao::

Bao frowned. The Lion dragon huangs were a mafia and the Mafias weren't honest. "Of course, a blood contract" Bao smiled mischievously. He pulled the dagger he kept at his side and sliced tenten's arm. Warm blood trickled down his hand and he held out her arm to Akihito. "the Challenge will be decided over her blood. she is my future bride, and soon we will be sharing the bond, so her blood witill sign the contrat in place of mine" He smiled at Akihito, daring him to challenge him further.

Tenten::

Tenten had almost had enough of Bao. He was clearly pissing her off, but she bit her lip until blood trickled down her lip, with they way he handled her, it could have easily been mistaken that she had been hit. Tenten kept her temper, she could kick his ass, her teacher arya and master udong both taught her not to hesitate, but she couldn't stand it, he was the son of master Li. She sighed as she caught Akihito's nod, it was difficult to tell whether it was for her or if it was just a slight random movement. He's probably no different than Bao is and they were fighting for whoever had the most testosterone and who can get the girl first. She hated being a trophy. It was then when bao swiftly slit her wrist that the blood tflowed down her wrist. The cut was deep, but not enough to kill her and he held out her arm. Her eye twitched, trying to keep her temper and being a proper lady was hard when somebody is being a total douche and cutting you as if you're a friggin piece of paper. "Good luck" she mouthed to Akihito in japanese. he may or may not be any different from Bao, but at least he wasn't cutting her. Unless of course he too would try to use her blood for the contract....tehn she'll be making a contract with herself which made absolutely no sense. Then again, it is the Mafia, and Mafias never make sense...

Akihito was disgusted with he way he was treating this girl. THis might end up being hsi way out of the contract but he did not know what else he could do about it. Since she would be part of the family at some point it would technically be valid. But if everything went as planned she would no longer be part of their family, nullifying the contract. It was a paradox that Akihito could not work around. He did not let this show in his face though. Bao probably did not think about this in any case. He did not seem like the cunning type, just the cruel type. Akihito took out a knife and cut his finger as Master Udong wrote up the contract. Al he could do now was abide by the contract and go through the duel. Bao most likely did not want harm to come to himself and therefore just cut his bride to be. People like this were the reason Akihito did not like being in the Yakuza. These people revolt him. When Master Udong was done writing up the contract Akihito silently signed it with his blood and waited to see what Bao would do. tehre w as nothing he could do for the young lady right now but he could if he won. Of course he came with the intent to win in the first place so adding this to it was no big deal. And now he had a much better reason to win. Bao was an ass. He was going to utterly destroy this boy and make him bow before him. In the Yakuza destroying him this bad would show everyone their difference and Bao would have to comply with what he said. "Shall we begin?"

Bao puffed up his chest and dipping a finger in Tenten's blood signed the contract that the fool Udong constructed. "It's a deal" He let tenten go momentarily and stepped forward. He gave a signal for one of the Stand by gaurds and they brought in two cases of swords. "guests choose first" He said, grinning. The Guard stepped in front of Akihito and Opened both cases. One case held a Silver long sword with a Light green hilt and a dragon insignia. The other a similar style sold except on the hilt was a Chimera of a Lion and a Dragon. Bao grinned, sure that whichever sword his opponent chose, he would win. After all, he trained with the best martial arts instructor master Wu fei, and His opponent was taught by Udong, a second rate martial artist who couldn't even stand watchinga chicken get his head cut off. It was a surefire victory.

Tenten's patience was wearing thing, but yet again she bit her lip. Either outcome she would lose, but she remembered her mother's words "do not fight Bao, you are a lady, and you must act on it. Tenten sighed, breathing deeply. She eyed Akihito, he seemed no better than Bao, however, he was alot kinder. It could be said that she was developing a mini crush, but there was no way a Japanese Son of Yakuza Boy would ever fall for her, especially not a 13 year old. Tenten raised an eyebrow and tried to appear humble. She sat on the mat on her knees in order to watch the fight begin. She sighed "boys" she mumbled

Akihtio snapped his fingers and waited for his personal body guard to bring him a wooden box that encased his own personal sword. When Akihito finally became more resolved to take over the position as boss of the Yakuza his father had given it to him. The sword was extremely sharp. It was a katana of expert craft. He was beautifully made. It had a deep red hilt and a magnificent blade to it. You would be hard pressed to find a better blade and just by one glance at the swords bao had prepared Akihito knew his was better. He would never disrespect himself bbyt allowing himself to touch such badly shaped weapons. He pulled the sword out of his case and hooked it around his waist. He walked to the center of the room and looked around. Thsi did not seem the place to have a fight. He Akihito looked at him coldly but did not put any sort of killing intent in to it. "Now tell me where this will be going down". Akihito said. He wanted to get this over with. Thsi kind of place would be horrible for a battle and in anycase Akihtio would win even if Bao thought of cheating. He moved forward to come close to Bao and looked down on the pathetic worm. IN his eyes Bao should have saw his determination and in the way he looked at Bao he was telling him he was nothing but a worm that was waiting to be crushed.

BAo grabbed the sword with the Lion dragon symbol on it, then swung it twice in the air to test it. "We shall be dueling outside" Bao said. The guards all exited the room, two holding the doors open. The Ladies in waiting including tenten exited right after Bao and Akihito did. They took their seats on the benches surrounding the outdoor arena meant for viewing. Master udong was acting referee for Master wu fei's absence. Bao gave Tenten a nod and a smile. She was guaranteed to be his.

Fight::

Bao took his first position and began with an offense. Throwing three slices first towards his opponent. (Health points= 100)

Tenten::

Tenten left and walked along side three ladies in waiting who seemed to escort her outside to the benches. She wasn't used to the benches for she always fought in the centerfield. She watched as Bao and Akihito went at each other. Bao began, his hits were sloppy and sword play a disgrace, she knew she could do better and she only faught hand to hand combat. Tenten sighed, wrapping the blade wound in her silk dress. The blood soaked through the silk, but she didn't mind, this battle was getting interesting...

((OOC: End of Tenten's post temporarily))

New Post order: Akihito, Bao

Akihito walked out outside and took up his stance and looked at Bao. he was full of openings. he was going to go all out when it came to this battle and make Bao's life a living hell. Since they were using real blades Akihito was going to have to utterly destroy the opponent without giving him a fatal injury. This might turn out to be harder than he had originally imagined. Since he was the guess he would going to maker sure to get the upper hand in Battle. Master Udong sounded the toll for the battle to begin and Akihito speed forward. He had yet to actually draw his sword and most people would be concerned. But in one swift movement his blade came out of it's sheath and sliced toward Bao. This was going to be one hell of a fun fight. He would make Bao as bloody as he would need to in order for someone to stop this battle. He might be slightly sadistic but this was going to be how it was. He would not let anything happen him. He would make sure to destroy Bao utterly above anything. He brought his blade across and down. This made 3 attacks his initial and his two slashes.

Akihito - 100 HP

Bao took the hit, his face opening with the blade. He did not expect his oponent to be this good. her cheek bled, but there was no way he was losing to this boy, not when he trained with master wu fei. He charged at his opponent, and faked a hit, instead sliding downward, and tripping his opponent. he touched his face, and looked at the blood. "you bastard" he cursed, placing his sword in front of him in a defense position, awaiting his oopponent to rise.

Bao::
slash in the face accross -20 points
slash in the face down -10

HP= 70%

Akihito had been tripped but he ahd anticipated something like that. This was a sword fight but in the Yakuza that meant anything goes. He let his intent to kill out. If he was going to win this fight then he would need to go at it like he was ready to murder someone. that was how the yakuza worked. He glared at Bao with cold eyes and then sprinted toward him. He did a movement with his feet and disappeared from Bao's line of sight and appeared at Bao's side giving a slash to his side. Bao would need to try and block this. Akihito was going for a deep blow this time. He was aiming for all the vitalpoints taht would inflict mortal wounds if they hit. He shuffled his feet again and appeared behind Bao and lounged at him. Trying to pierce him from behind and stab him through the heart.

Trip -1 hit point damage

Akihito HP 99

Bao took the hit to the side, but his sword semi parried it so it wouldn't kill him, only injure him. Akihito had jumped behind him and aimed for his back, but he ducked in time for him to miss. He stood back up and charged at akihito, aiming low this time, as his opponent would anticipate for him to attack high. Bao felt his opponents intent to kill, however he had a few secrets of his own. He jumped backwards and pointed his right hand at akihito. the poisoned tipped needles in his wrist flew towards his opponent. Three flew simultaneously twoards akihito.

Akihito watched as the guy dodged his attacks. This was not good. Bao was able to avoid these fatal attacks and Akihito was going to be in bad standing if this had continued. As soon as he thought this poison darts. They came in faster than Akihito could process the fact that something had been shot rather than him attacking boldly. Even though this was a Yakuza fight and anything went, there was a certain level of honor and Bao had just shown he had shoulder andnone. the darts pierced his Akihito felt the poison. If he did not finish this now it was it was going to turn out very bad. He ripped the darts out of his skin without hesitation and flew at Bao delivering a diagonal slash. Moved his feet and came into a blind shot and attempted to stab at a vital. He did this one again trying to deliver a cross slash to his back. He had to end this now or thios would turn out back.

HP:89
-Constant 10 damage for each post because of poison

Bao took the diagonal hit, but Bao moved in time for akihito to miss his vital; It failed to kill him. Akihito was skillful, more skillful than bao and it seems as if he took the poison darts quite well. The jab to the side Knocked bao on to the ground, and he scrambled to his feet. He lost some blood from the previous wound, making him feel a bit disoriented and he felt as if he saw double: two akihitos. He went straight for one sword at his side, ready to swing at one of the akihitos, not knowing if it was the real one on or not. The sword went through the first akihito, missing the real one. Bao regained himself by delivering a powerful left kick to his opponents gut.

Akihito noticed that the movements that Bao had were slowing down and from his first hit he had noticed that Bao was losing his vision as well. This was going well, even though the point was seeping into him now. The more he moved the faster it would spread throughout his system. He knew this but then again there was nothing he could do about it. Bao had missed him but then tried to deliver a kick. Akihito dodged the kick. Bao couldn't see properly so it made things easier. Akihito turned his sowrd back hand. Punched him in the gut with the hand not holding the sword. He brought the bottom of the sowrd up tocatch him in the jaw. Similar to an upper cut but hitting him with the hilt and not a fist. Akihito then gave him a side kick, one strong enough to send him flying a couple spaces back. All these were attempts. With Bao's slow movements he probably wouldn't be able to react in time but that was not certain. Akihito was hoping that these would hit. The poison in his body was taking mroe affect with all the moving he did. He had to end it fast. But the faster he moved the more is spread.

15 damage from the poison (it's going up because it's spreading faster)
HP: 73

Bao was losing it. His kick was dodged, and his breath was become shorter and more gasped. He shook his head, but akihito moved fast and hit him. At this point in time, he had given up, he had no choice. At the very least-- the poison in Akihito's body would kill him in less than half an hour. Technecally, Bao had won. The final blows knocked him straight to the ground and Bao refused to get up. He was bloody and Beaten, but he had not lost. Later he will be a live, and Akihito won't.

HP- 0% remaining

Winner:: Akihito

Akihito watched as Bao fell. He still had enough energy to stand but he was afraid of walking now. The poison was spreading and if he did not get an antidote quick he would die. He left his face neutral though. His blade still had traces of Bao's blood on it and so did Akihito's face. None of it got into hsi eyes but it was still there marking his face. He left his face stoic but he couldn't move and the poison was spreading even faster now. His vision was fading and he needed to do something. He started moving toward a certain place with conviction. He thought that is was towards the girl and luckily he was correct "Well it looks like I won." Akihito said. He kept his tone from faltering but he was straining to say these words. He couldn't see her face clearly. "Well I guess I'll just let you go free,....that guy.....shouldn't have cause .....to...bother...." That was when Akihito promptly passed out. He couldn't hold on any longer and his consciousness faded along with the strength that he once had.
