Chikako stood in front of her opponent, looking almost subdued. The loose jacket that normally hung from her small frame was wrapped around her waist, revealing her bandaged--though very flat--chest. Even with the Prince’s attempt at a war cry and as all hell broke loose around them, Chikako didn’t move. Her face held no expression as she looked at her opponent, who was probably about the same height as she was. Had there been no context, someone might’ve thought Chikako was lost in thought. Sure, lost in the thought of [i]crushing her opponent.[/i]

Emotions remained unseen on the shorter female’s face as the fighting began around them. She’d expected the other girl to move first but it seemed she was wrong. [b]“You’re the wait and see type aren’t you?”[/b] Alice calmly questioned as her right hand pulled the bo staff from her lower back- the metal rod extending to its full length. The weapon was twirled a few times in her hands before she felt her body fall into a stable position with her feet apart and the bo staff secure between her arm and her side. 

She didn't give the female a moment to answer before she took off towards the pigtailed female, twisting her body in a quick rotation, bringing her bo staff down upon her.

Chi waited for her opponent to get close enough that it looked as if she might’ve broken her skull with the bo staff. However, if one looked close enough, they would notice movement in her right arm. Without so much as moving, Chi brought up a blade that was pure white, from tip to hilt. The odd thing about it?

The blade came right out of her arm.

She held her sword with both hands, however her subdued facial expression gave way to a smirk.

[b]“Good things come to those who wait.”[/b]

Alice’s brows drew together in mild confusion before realizing what she was seeing. Her body moved backwards a few steps as she got a full look at her opponent. Her mouth opened and closed as she stared at the woman’s arm for another moment. Something of a groan and a whine escaped her lips as she felt her guard drop for a moment. Alice understood what she was dealing with and was far from happy about it.

[b]“I’m about to get boned aren’t I?”[/b] The smirk on her lips and the serious tone to her words contradicted one another yet seemed to work as she reset her stance as her mind went to work trying to figure out a new plan. 

The pigtailed young woman’s smirk turned into a frown as she swiped her sword in the air, causing some dust to fly around her. She clearly wasn’t very happy about the the pun. Figuring that her opponent was going to say something stupid again if she didn’t do anything, Chi went on the offensive, lunging forward with her bone blade aimed right for the midsection.

Alice went on the defensive as she lowered her bo staff to clash against the bone blade, the shorter female’s pushing into one another as their weapons clashed. [b]“Oi, you got a bone to pick with me or something twintails?”[/b] The sarcasm was clearly evident in her voice but it would soon be answered with a response all of Chi’s own making.

Chi was beginning to growl in irritation. Her pinkish eyes--which were slowly turning red--narrowed as she brought a knee up to her opponent’s stomach. Alice knew she’d fucked up the moment Chi’s eyes began to change colors. [i]‘I’m not getting paid enough for this shit.’[/i] The words blazed across her mind as the knee made contact with her middle. Alice’s jaws clenched together tightly while her grip on the bo staff tightened her another moment. She knew she was open and she knew she was about to pay for it as she doubled over on herself. With an opening, Chikako brought her left elbow up and sent it crashing into Alice’s head.

Her eyesight went white for a moment as her head was sent flying forward from the blow coming from above her. The staff forgotten as she extended her arms before herself to catch herself. Alice hit the dusty ground hard before rolling out of the way of Chi’s feet. She rose from the ground with a bit of a flourish, shaking her head to get rid of the dizziness steaming from the back of her head. 

[b]“Feisty little thing aren’t ya’?” [/b]

Chi stepped back from Alice, bringing her bone sword up once again.

[b]“I’m a born fighter, whaddaya expect.”[/b]

[b]“I kind of expected literally anything ASIDE FROM BONES...but, you know, that’s just me.”[/b]

Chi shrugged, shifting her weight to one leg.

[b]“Guess you didn’t get creative enough.”[/b]

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes as she reached to her thigh holsters and withdrew throwing daggers. She toyed with them for a moment before launching them at the black haired female, sprinting at her in their short distance. Chi deflected the blades like they were nothing but they were enough for Alice to get in close once more, front rolling to grip her fallen bo staff.

The chesty woman was back on her feet in no time. The girls exchanged blows back and forth with a sizable ferocity. It was quite the workout for either of them but Chi’d slipped up for a moment-giving Alice the chance to land a solid blow to the left side of Chi’s ribs. Alice withdrew for a moment to catch her own breath with a brow raised and a grin on her face. 

[b]“Did I hit your funny bone?”[/b]
