Description: Seishirou meets up with Kasagi's little sister. Unfortunately, she might not have what it takes to defeat his will. (Winner: Seishirou)
League Records: 2 victories, 12 defeats and 3 draws.
Amouth of Points: A big zero.
Solution? Beat up someone!
After all, Mimiru has been hit on so hard, that according to the Super Way of Mimiru, her powers should be increased exponentionally! Which means she'll have to win this one! And if she doesn't, well she'll come out of it even stronger! Because what doesn't kill you make you stronger, no?
The place? The Kasagi Residence! Not quite inside, of course, because that would be pretty messy, but they're just in front of Mimiru's house, in southtown's village. Even if she's not all that strong, she's got the support of the neightbors! She's like, the little local hero or something, considering the feats she can accomplish and that few other mortals can.
Mimiru grins and she's outside waiting for her oponent, stretching about and getting ready, bouncing back and forth, "Ah! Time for some ownage!"
The dark-haired youth steps up in front of the Kasagi residence, just in the front yard, probably standing near their mailbox or something. While the particulars of just how this league fight got arranged will remain hazy, it was ultimately the revelation that he was falling way behind in the rankings that got him to consider a match. The particular /person,/ however.. despite her low rank even relative to his own, he couldn't turn down the opportnity.
"Huh.. you're the one that fought Riko, aren't you?" the ninja murmurs absently, drawing a kunai from his satchel and tucking it into his sash. "'Kasagi Mimiru...' is that right?" He squints carefully.
"'Ownage..' heh."
It's a good thing they weren't fighting inside her house.
He'd hate to have to blow out one of her walls.
"Huh?" Mimiru blinks as she hears Seishirou's voice, turning around on her heels to face him as he just enters the ground of her residence. The girl's lips curl into a smile and she rests her hands on her waist, "Yeah, that's exactly me... And... I guess that makes you..." She frowns and narrows her eyes, "Huh, that guy she was talking about, huh? Giving her bad ideas like blow things up and doing so dangerous things during a friendly spar..."
Mimiru heaves a soft sigh and she shakes her head, not seeming to approve, "Huh, that's not good, well anyway..." She says. She glances up at Seishirou and says, "I bet you have a bunch of dirty tricks like she does... You better not make my house blow up or anything! This is a friendly spar! And if you have electrical devise or knives you better be careful! We're not here to kill each other!"
"'Dirty tricks....' Heh."
Ryouhara's heard that a lot.
Frankly, it only serves to amuse him, at this point.
"Let me make one thing abundantly clear."
He taps his headband with his thumbnail. "This is the mark of our way of the ninja. That way illustrates many ends to a fight. Physical, tactical, mystical. But in all of them, the swiftest end is the most optimal, friendly or not. It is by nature of my family and this style that you'll bleed today. That much isn't going to be something in which you can tell me how to proceed without my blowing up all the televisions in your house for the insult."
He opens his forward hand in a forward guard position.
"....But if you die today..."
He unzips his satchel, and his back hand closes to a fist.
"It'll be because you failed on a level that I currently cannot fathom." Seishirou is in a full combat position, now, widened stance and everything. "....Now. Try spending less time telling me what to do. And more time showing me what you can do."

"Huh..." Mimiru says, narrowing her eyes a bit into a glare at Seishirou. She moves her arms to raise her sleeves up a little, or at least, fake to lift then up since she doesn't have any, "Well I'll just have to give it my very best then and make sure you'll be the one falling down here and I'll do this fight without being touched even once! You just wait and see!" Mimiru proclaims.
Time for her to prove her worth, and Mimiru does just that. She dashes over Seishirou and bites her lips, her right hand clenching into a tight fist, "Super Mimiru Punch!" She shouts as her fist flares out with bright chi and she hurls it off right at Seishirou.

Mimiru 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Seishirou
And to Mimiru's upset proclamation? Seishirou nods simply. Amiably, even. She's welcome to try. Though his look doesn't soften in the slightest when he regards her.
Hm. Nice move.
Seishirou sees it coming, but it still moves pretty fast and so lands neatly in his midsection, as may have been expected, despite all attempts to shift to the side. The threatfactor is recognized as Seishirou takes a bit of a gasp, pushed back away from Mimiru's attack. Now.. since she's expressed a certain level of irritation with his tactics, that means she's somewhat familiar with them. That means he'd better try something advanced.
As he falls back, he sets loose three kunai with one hand, eliciting a soft whine from the winder at his sleeve as he elects to fall all the way back onto his opposite hand. His handstand allows him to pop up into the air neatly, two kunai whizzing by Mimiru's left at staggered angles, the third whizzing by her right. He'll land on her mailbox, a .. odd thing on a wood post, balancing on it comically but not damaging it in the slightest as he falls back off of it to the sound of one kunai deflecting off of another. There were two wires tied about the eyelets on those weapons. Across three weapons.
Using the kunai to anchor his weight in the air behind the mailbox, Seishirou pulls back on one wires, sending a rapidly-tightening loop that's anchored itself behind Mimiru down the rightmost wire. The effect, if successful, would be to tie Mimiru up and send her smashing into the ground at a high rate of speed.
He might land at some point after that. Maybe.

Mimiru 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Seishirou
Considering the kind of oponent she's fighting, Mimiru is left with little choice -- she's not a masochist and she definately doesn't want to get injuried for a simple leaguefight. As of sort, Mimiru remains on the defensive, not intending on leaving herself open and get cut, or electrified or even worse -- not this time.
As the kunai flies pass her, Mimiru's eyes wander around and she bites her lips as she quickly tries to assess the potential danger and what this ninja might be up to. Definately this must be no good. Mimiru bites her lips and at the last moment, she notices the wires and Mimiru takes a leap up in the air, avoiding getting entangled by the wires and used like a little puppet! Riko had similar tricks too and they weren't really nice!
"Take that!" Mimiru shouts as she soars down from the sky, cascading down on Seishirou and attempting to catch him in an aerial takedown. If that's sucesful, Mimiru will just land rather brutally on Seishourou's shoulders with her knees and squeezes his head between her thighs, but she doesn't wish to crush his head against her thighs, no, no!

Mimiru 0/-------/--=====|==-----\-------\0 Seishirou
The concept of a crossbow is something Seishirou's been avidly studying lately. Basically similar in design on a more pronounced scale to his early kunai thrower prototypes, but with longer range and, obviously, more power. A wire is drawn behind a bolt, tensioned and reinforced and held until ready to fire. The wire snaps, the crossbow fires. Similar principles are applied to greater scale resulting in what's commonly referred to as a ballista.
You see, while it would have been nice ifwire-loop had hit, he threw two wires for a reason. Two kunai were employed as anchors for his first travelling loop attack, the second kunai was initially thrown to provide a deflection point for the third, but it was also carrying a wire of it's own. Now and only now will he pull that left wire, causing the kunai's eyelet to twist and a small charge will cause the blade to mushroom in the ground, anchoring it there.
Essentially, while Mimiru's dodged his first move, he's expected it to be dodged. And has made appropriate plans.
He watches the winder on his wrist, stopping the wire and pulling it taut. It's around the mailbox. He'll make one handseal, to send chi through the entire array, strengthening cord against the previously-imbued mailbox. And, by whirling out of the way of Mimiru's attack, also provides the necessary sudden tension on the cord to uproot the Kasagi mailbox and turn it into a chi-heated blunt ballista bolt.
Aimed, with some distress, directly at Mimiru's approaching midsection.
Unfortunately, Mimiru's fairly narrow minded -- this isn't a chess game for her and she's not really thinking her move ahead for the rest of the battle. One step at a time, ready for the current moment of the battle and not beyond that. Trying to think for things too ahead simply makes you vulnerable in the present. Can't have too high expectation for a fourteen year old girl, alas!
"Kyyya!! Oh sh..." And the falling Mimiru gets smacked in midair by the mailbox, which causes her to go off track and fall of to the side, crashing down and rolling a bit on the ground. Mimiru winces, one hand going up to her midsection but the rather ungraceful landing was much more painful that the imnpact. She forces herself to her knees a bit and she lifts her gaze up to the ninja. Well! Those who play sneaky are usually vulnerable for close combat and straight foward stuff! At least that's what Mimiru believes.
As of sort, she quickly rises and dashes for Seishirou, hurling herself at him in an attempt to tackle him down.

And... Slam! A harsh body tackle and just as Seishirou falls down, Mimiru readjusts herself in midflight, chi flaring out of her heels as she actually slams Seishirou forcefully against the ground, the chi sending a burst of force against his thorax while it helps Mimiru leap off away from Seishirou's body.
Well, he can't really say he didn't have that one coming.
Cutting the wires with a twist of his wrist, Seishirou catches the mailbox neatly after he shoots Mimiru out of the air with it, twirling and hand from behind his back slapping the door on the mailbox, blwon ajar from the impact with the 14-year old shut as he lands. .. Just in time to be bounced off of by a pinball we will now refer to as Mimiru. The attack knocks the wind out of him rather effectively, knocking him to the ground.
It's only a moment or so later he elects to get up, using the mailbox like a staff. No, that stung. Not a lot, for someone of his physical regimen, but it still hurt notably.
"Not bad..." Seishirou does admit. "I can see how you might have provided a decent challenge for her." He nods once. But. He plants the post in the dirt there. His right hand opens. And forms a handseal.
He doesn't move.
COMBATSYS: Seishirou focuses on his next action.

Mimiru turns around on her heels as she lands, half striking a pose, her lips curling into a wide smile, obviously fairly happy with how things have turned out. She leans down a little and lets a soft chuckle escape her throat, "Eh, well, glad you think I'm more than just a nobody," Mimiru says, sticking her tongue out, "Glad you didn't break my mailbox either! You've got some nerves!" Mimiru adds.
He wants to take it smooth and do more of his little ninja tricks? Well Mimiru won't just stand there! She actually dashes right off in Seishirou's direction and she attempts to disrupt his little concentraton. She moves her right hand to get a hold of Seishirou's wrist and then tries to plant her other hand right under Seishirou's armpit and then, if she manages to do that much...
... Well might as well say the rest to help take a reaction. Ahem. She turns around on her heels and presses her back against Seishirou's waist, bending over and forcing him off his feet, up on her back. Using her hips, Mimiru will then make him spin about on her back and throw him off her, slamming him down to the ground.

Well, Mimiru probably should worry about the mailbox. I mean, Seishirou's got it. Who knows what he could do with it. Calmly, Seishirou answers. "I don't do that."
It's an effect of Seishirou's own code. If you'll allow him that.
As she sticks her tongue out at him, Seishirou just looks up critically. Frowns. And then she moves towards him to execute a spinning shoulder throw. Hnf. Around the mailbox he'll dodge Mimiru's attack. And then he'll uproot the box again and make an off-handed attempt to warhammer her with the back end of it.
Yeah. He was just setting it down so he could think. You should probably still worry about it.

"Again..." Mimiru says, whimpering a little as Seishirou gets a hold of the mailbox and attempts to nail her down with it. Mimiru kneels down and she simply quickly moves aside to avoid being smashed with it, "Careful with it, you'll break it!" Mimiru says.
Figuring that wielding such a big thing has to slow him down, Mimiru rushes over Seishirou and she attempts to counter with giving him a quick punch right in his midsection.

"No problem," is about the length and breadth of Seishirou's response to Mimiru's worry. She dodged his attack, and that leaves, at the very least, his footwork open just long enough for her blow to connect. This will set him back a step or two, with a soft grunt. THe atacks havent' been overtly harmful, but they have been noticed, and to that end, Seishirou's made something of a decision. He jumps over the mailbox's end.
Drawing the kunai he'd tucked in his sash.
He flips it into the air, catches it by the tip of the blade.
From medium range, it takes him only an instant to get his bearing on Mimiru.
And then he lets his knife throw do the rest of the talking for him. He aims it right at Mimiru's kidney. And where it lands.. is where, one handseal later, it'll explode.

Mimiru has quite an experience with those kind of things -- stabby objects? Not anywhere close to Mimiru! If there's something she doesn't want it's to suffer from injuries and bleed to death by the end of this fight. She's very careful and determined to that end. The girl swiftly avoids the incoming knife. Thankfully, considering the explosion that comes afterward.
"Damnit! You and your dangerous weapons, I hate to fight people like you! What's with trying to injure others in fight like this, huh?" Mimiru asks, arching a brow as she tries to close the distance between herself and the ninja -- after all, there's little chance for her to suceed this if she stays away from someone who's full of tricks.
Once Mimiru is close enough, she quickly turns on her heels, to be on her side and she lifts her right leg up, only to give a powerful sidekick aimed right at Seishirou's knee.

Well, luckily, Seishirou didn't break one of Mimiru's windows or anything with that. Coulda been messy. Right? Mn. Overall, Seishirou doesn't seem too concerned with her dodging, that much is clear. He has, however, gained an awfully good measure of her speed index. THat is to say, fast, and.. really fast.
And somewhat emotional, on top of that.
"Why do you hate it?" Seishirou asks. It's a simple question--she looks forward to getting punched in the face, but hates knives? "Are you afraid?" Phrasing himself in nothing short of the most earnest, careful tone he can manage, Seishirou slides to the other side of the mailbox post as Mimiru approaches, whipping it upside-down, letting her leg impact uselessly against the wooden post. "Until you understand why, and stop complaining..."
He slides his shoe underneath the mailbox. And then he rockets that entire end up at Mimiru's chin, with one kick, holding onto the post with his arm. He's very clear, making his point. "You're going to always be weak!"

If one's looking for a model fighter, Mimiru's hardly one of them -- she's young and inexperienced, impetueous and to stubborn. She hardly has anything for her, and it's fairly hard to take someone like her seriously at that too.
"How about I stab you with those knives and we'll see if you like it," Mimiru says, narrowing her eyes, "I'm pretty sure if we test it, you'll hate it more than getting punched," Mimiru says with a snarl. "Yeah, I'm particulary afraid! I could die, you know, and this isn't a fight to the death!" Mimiru complains.
Mimiru lifts her arms up and she simply protects herself from Seishirou's kick, which makes her stagger back a couple of steps. She shakes her head and lifts her gaze up, biting her lips, "Well at least I'm not a stupid jerk!" With that, Mimiru rushes over Seishirou and she attempts to tackle him head first, like giving him a firm hard pounce.

Smirk. "If you're afraid you could die, why are you fighting? You've got some good moves... I'll give you that..."
As Mimiru attacks him with her tacklepounce, Seishirou will catch her at about waist-level on the end of his foot, absorbing the shock into his frame, allowing himself to be knocked off his feet, tilting on his makeshift weapon's post as he does. This is to position his other foot underneath Mimiru.. and then deliver a quick array of two stomping kicks at her midsection to send her up and away from him, his last kick aimed to put her light frame pretty high into the air.
"If you're not fighting for real, you're just a hobbyist!"
With the kick hitting Mimiru right in the chest, the girl finches and she coughs a few times, dropping to her knees, though she doesn't have the time to recover much from it as she gets kicked off by Seishirou and sent off away, rolling a bit on the ground.
The girl bites her lips and she growls, her body quivering a little as she gets on all four, hands curled into fists. She seems ready to attack again, giving a glare over to Seishirou as his words sink into her mind and previous thoughts swarm her mind.
~ You're too impetuous, this can only lead to bad things ~
~ What do you think you'll achieve if you die? Won't it make others sad too...? ~
~ You need to learn patience, and fight when the time is right, or else... ~
"Huh... Hobbyist..." Mimiru says as she closes her eyes. The girl heaves a sigh and she nods, "... Well, you're right, I guess. You're not worth me risking my life over. You've won," Mimiru says as she forces herself to her feet. There's not much else for her to say. Looks like she chooses to conceide victory. She heaves a sigh and she glances down at the ground a little. As much as this is a tough decision, she figures that's the one. She has to learn patience. Fight when the time is right.. Right, that's what she said.
"....."
Well, that was unexpected.
Somewhat uncertain as if Mimiru is trying something against him, Seishirou tilts back and rolls onto his feet again. He.. has to admit some level of trepidation in the face of the fact that someone might actually be bothering to listen to what he has to say. Not just listen, but act on it. It's .. a novel experience, to tell the truth.
"...Hm," he echoes, just a touch of that novelty leaking into his voice.
... He nods, once, respectfully.
He doesn't gloat.
He doesn't offer a witty retort.
He just jams the mailbox's wood post against the ground, popping the box door open. He points it up into the sky. And... with an obscene amount of popping, hissing, and whistling, an entire chinese rocketry array shoots up into the sky from the mailbox. The cacophony precedes a large knot of fireworks, popping in the air in .. a somewhat impressive lightshow. Somewhat.
Jamming the back into the Kasagi residence lawn, the ninja draws two folded bills from one of the pockets underneath the shroud at his hip. He holds them up, between two fingers. A substantial amount, /just enough/ to repair damages to the lawn, reanchor the post, etc. This, he tucks into the mailbox. And shuts it again. He puts his hands into his pockets and walks off with no further quarrel.
He pauses.
"... If you ever decide you want to learn to fight for real... look us up." Provided she doesn't say anything or throw something at him, he'll flicker briefly, and be gone. Simple as that.
Ahh! A lovely light show. Well... Ahem, Mimiru doesn't seem pretty impressved by that. For the simple reason that it seems to actually do a little bit of damage around, if only slight amouth of and that just means more trouble than it's worth it. At least for her. She does shield her eyes from the fireworks, slightly blinded by them.
Mimiru heaves a sigh and she glances over to Seishirou as he makes his way out. She folds her arms in front of her chest and she says, "Huh... And if you want to learn some sportmanship, come see me.." Mimiru simply answers, turning her gaze away.
This might seem like nothing, but this must have been the hardest defeat Mimiru had to suffer. If only because she had to force herself to give up. Is there something worse than giving up? No... But then again. It was the right choice. She closes her eyes and heaves a sigh, "Huh, so much for raising my score..." Mimiru mutters under her breath, "Least I didn't get cut... " Always finding the upside of every situation.
