People came and went,some kids where playing around, and elderly couple, and of course the whole fruit fiasco, and now Nō and her partner where sitting down eating watermelon. They had been partners for a while now and got along well enough, he wasn't some creep and had good conversation. A young lady waved at the booth asking for directions to a ramen shop, and Nō went over to talk to her, with a smile on her face as always. When she walked away from the booth she did not notice her partner being silently taken down behind her by some guy. When she turned back around she walked back to the booth and saw that he was gone and she was alone. Then she felt something sharp on her neck and recognized it as a kunai. She felt his hand come up and did a side roll and popped up in a fighting position. She slipped her gloves on and looked around, there where no civilians so it was a fair fight. They traded blows, kicks, punches, and she was nicked a few times on the arms due to his kunai and not being careful. When the broke away from each other the man pulled his sword out of its sheath and charged at Nō. She was quick to react and followed him in close, using exploding palm she was countering his blows with the sword. Even though they looked evenly match Nō was holding back, she had not fought like this in a while and she was enjoying this, but her partner was missing and she needed to find him soon. So she become more bold with her attacks, instead of just trading blows she started to press the intruder. She slugged him twice on the face with her exploding palm and jumped up, with a smile she said [color=ec008c]"Explosion Release: Exploding Strike"[/color]. Her fist glowed pink as she came back down and when she make contact a small explosion happened, only strong enough to crack the ground. When the small smoke cloud cleared Nō stood there with a frown on her face. The only thing left of the man was a puddle. She sighed and started to look for her lost partner. Nō found him over in the bushes safe and sound with no harm done to him. Nō woke him up by dumping water on his face with a smile. [color=ec008c]"Well, what happened to you? Sleeping on the job?"[/color] she teased, and then went back over to the booth, they where stationed at. It was still empty, so she sat sat back down, her partner saying he would fill out the report and turn it in. Still the fight left her confused, the man was clone but who sent him? Plus he knew how to fight well? Something was off about this situation. [hr]
