Description: A League battle in a French library finds the Hurricane Hime far too much for Mizuki to take on... for now...! (Winner: Himeko)
Where does the fabled wheel of League Fighting bring two young fighters today? The wheel spins and spins, and comes to a stop on... France!
More specificly, the Bibliotheque nationale de France (National Library of France for the non french speakers) is the chosen locale, and it looks like today, while generally nice, is going to be raining soon. It's a good thing that the match will take place inside one of the large 'L' shaped buildings!
Hurricane Himeko has once again chosen an opponent out of random to face her, the self-proclaimed heroine of Taiyo High a girl on one of her many missions of truth and knowledge. She stands within the very large lobby of one of those towers, that's pretty far from any of the bookshelves much to her dismay, but the open area still has that 'library' feel to it, there's plenty of posters on walls, book return counters at corners, and for some reason tables littered along the floor.
The pink clad girl waits for her opponent in her usual manner, by speaking to the younger fighting fans about the importance of reading books, but.. Her French isn't all that great. At least the point seems to be getting accross, though!
Mizuki hasn't been doing much League fighting; between school at Justice, SNF (which has run the gamut from fun to disastrous) and other... things... happening, she just hasn't had the time. So it's pure chance and happenstance that Himeko's challenge comes at a time that Mizuki can actually accept! And she is happy to do so.
"Never been to France before," murmurs Mizuki--wandering around in a state of happy touristy manner. Unfortunately, she doesn't have -that- much time to go wandering about; she has a League fight to make it to! Which she does, promptly on-time. Mizuki looks around, then... approaches Himeko pre-fight.
"You must be Himeko," she says, to the shorter girl, with a friendly smile. "I hope this is a fun match for the both of us!" She isn't worried about winning or losing as such, see...
Mizuki gives another look around then says, "I'm kind of glad we're out here, it'd be a shame to damage any of these books." She smiles again, then bows to her opponent, before turning away and wandering over to her starting point.
"Mn?" the little Hurricane looks over her shoulder to Mizuki, and greets Mizuki with both a wave and a little laugh, "I get that a lot, but that's all right," her normal tone taking more of a stereotypical 'all-american superhero' tone at this point. The girl slips off of the table, and raises her gloved hand in a salute to her forehead, "Hurricane Hime!!" and a sudden gust of wind whips her giant scarf backward, making her look very, very cool if she didn't say so herself.
"I'm glad you share a similar concern toward books, but in just moments this will be an intense clash of two amazing styles! I hope you will be impressed by what you see, that said.." she takes a sentai-ish pose, "Let us do battel!" Yes. Battel.

*blink* *blink blink* Mizuki doesn't burst out laughing... but the posing and such earns a giggle from the redhead. "You're funny," she says, quite frankly, but not in a hurtful way. "I can see this will be fun," she says, still smiling warmly.
Reaching up behind her she draws her baton from her back, twirling it in her right hand, slowly; sensing the time to fight is coming soon, Mizuki drops into her fighting stance, weight back somewhat, body turned towards her left, right holding the baton, twirling it slowly... left arm out, bent up at the elbow, hand open. And it seems she's the first to act, as the fight is called; normally she would set herself up and call some chi, but this time she opts for action, lunging forward and taking a quick snapping kick for Himeko's legs, trying to trip her up.

Baton? The Hurricane seems a bit puzzled first, wondering if that's the weapon she'll have to deal with this fight.. But she decides not to worry about it too much, she reaching into her scarf to draw out her home-made paperback book, clutched by the spine in her left hand and fists raised in sort of a boxing manner, her dusky cheeks darken slightly to the compliment of sorts.
But then the fight begins, and Mizuki snaps a quick kick that Hime can't quite slip away from in time. "Oops!" she falls onto her side, but quickly rolls back to her feet with a bright grin, "Not bad! All right then, try this!" her right hand slips to her holster, drawing out a small handful of index cards and then snaps her hand outward! Of course the cards go flying from her hands, but stay stuck togeather acting like a whip as it races toward Mizuki's shoulder.

And at the last moment the whip shifts direction and wraps twice about Mizuki's arms and torso! Once locked in, the girl then jerks her arm back, forcefully pulling her opponent toward her, "Get over here!" she declares.
Then she rushes forward to meet head to head, twirls around and then leaps into the air in an uppercut-like motion, swinging the spine of her book into Mizuki to knock her up and back, "Hah!"
Oof! Mizuki is caught off-guard by Himeko's unusual fighting style--using paper? That is definitely non-standard! But she won't let that happen again... landing hard, Mizuki rises to her feet, with a little smile still.
"Wow, that was pretty good, Himeko-chan!" she compliments, dusting herself off. "I'm very impressed... I guess it's my turn now!" she cries, striding forward quickly... a stride which becomes a sort of sliding forward, Mizuki drawing her baton back. As she nears, she focuses... and energy flares around her baton, blue-silver in color, empowering it as she begins to thrust the baton repeatedly at Himeko's torso.
Just for dramatic effect, Mizuki shouts, "Tatatatata!" as she strikes--and after a moment she pulls back, putting both hands on the baton and thrusting it forward one last time for her final strike. "TA!"

"Errrrrrrrrr," Hime replies with a slightly nervous chuckle, "You can just call me 'Hime'," she half-insists, though she is glad that someone is impressed with her moves.. Though actually Hotaru was as well, maybe she's getting more exposure or something? It was hard to say.
But with Mizuki declaring her turn, another handful of cards is taken and thrown out in front of her, they fan out and take the shape of a crudely formed buckler that pretty much takes all the damage right there, and isn't until the final blow that the shield explodes into a flurry of raining paper.
And through the rain comes the Hurricane, flying at Mizuki with an extended knee, "Hah!" lands and jumps in again with two more kicks to the gut, "Hime-Hime kick!"

Uff! Mizuki is struck by all three kicks--surprised to see Himeko be able to just... just defend against her attack like that! It is worrying to Mizuki; maybe she's in over her head? The baton-wielding girl staggers back, breaking away from her opponent, and shakes her head. Gotta do -something-...
Mizuki gets a few feet of separation then drops her stance, holding her baton loosely between both hands and looking like she's doing nothing short of praying. The end result is a flare of blue-white chi that swirls up around her body--aftereffect of the energy she -is- pulling in...

Himeko did think that Mizuki was just praying for a moment.. Which of course was much too soon into the match to be doing in her opinion! The girl rolls her shoulders quickly and hops from foot to foot, but then jumps in suprise when the sudden blue-white chi rips into existance, "W- Woah.. Coooooooool," the girl fawns, sparkle-eyed for a moment.
But she gets over it with a shake of her head and she holds her book back then swings as if she's about to throw it like a frisbee. But instead of flinging the book, the pages within fly out in hopes of snagging Mizuki's leg, and if so, a sudden jerk back would trip her flat on her back, the links tearing off immedietly after and fall harmlessly to the floor.

Though she doesn't seem to be paying attention, really, she is; Mizuki doesn't move as the paper ensnares her leg, but the jerk back she makes just after contact is enough to keep her from being tripped up as she might've been. Still... Himeko is trying hard, so Mizuki should as well, shouldn't she? But she's not about to waste her energies on that flashy kind of attack again. Taking some momentum from the forward tug, Mizuki bursts into a run then leaps forward, the baton held in her right hand; as she falls from her low leap, she slashes downwards with it, attempting to strike Himeko in the shoulder--and then she rises after landing in a crouch, attempting to strike again.

"Oops," Himeko should have known better, with Mizuki in such a firm stance, it probably was a waste of time trying to throw of the girls balance like that. Well then, live and learn! Mizuki's attack seems simple enough to deal with, it crashes down onto her book, which she holds up with both her hands, and then uses it as a mini-shielf again for the second strike, neither one of them making the paperback bend in any way!
And then raising the book over her head she stomps forward and tries to slam her weapon over Mizuki's head, "Hah!" swings back her arms and then forward again as if she were swinging a golf club, "Hah!"

Hnn. Mizuki's not doing well at all; her first instinct is to try and cause Himeko some damage, because so far Himeko's gotten off very light in this fight--and she fails. The first strike disorients her, the second knocks her way back and up into the air to sail for a bit before she lands... tumbling once, before she can rise, shaking her head out. Ow. That wasn't... that wasn't what she wanted to happen, that's for sure. But she's not out of it just yet...
It's a strategy that works well for some and not others it would seem, the Hurricane has been victim of quite a few interesting and unique strategies! However even her everwatchful eye can't always see when something is going astray on the opponents end.
Himeko seems honestly suprised that her blow seemed to be so.. Powerful, and she in mild confusion flexes her left arm, checking for muscles, "... Huh!" she isn't going to hold off, though, she's learned when she has the upper hand, she's got to do what it takes to keep it, "Sorry, but I'm not done just yet," she declares, hoping to get a hold of Mizuki's top with her free hand, so then she could twist, lift, and then flip the girl over her shoulder, "Hnngh!"

Mizuki is flipped quite handily; she'd attempted to get out of the way but it seems as though Himeko just has her number. There's a single, painful exhalation as Mizuki rolls away, looking a little unsteady... and then she's rising to her feet once more... praying, again, it seems, that energy flaring around her... but different, more bluish-green in color as it seems to almost literally pour down her body in a wash that disappears before it hits the floor.
It's certainly a very -flashy- move... but what does it -do-..? Well, it will, at least, make Mizuki -feel- better, and though she doesn't have any visible bruises, those will probably heal up some...
Just praying again? Himeko seems again a bit confused but.. Well she's expecting the blue and white energy again and it doesn't look like it's the same color this time. Err..
Well it's certainly cool, but she doesn't really get it, "Ah ha, I get it! It is your 'Stand there and look cool' attack! Parry!!" the little Hurricane windmills her arms as if fending off some sort of attack, and then she storms forward again, pounces forward like a cat, and then handsprings with her feet extended toward her foe, "Take this!"

The energy certainly soothes and heals... but it also gives a great chance for opponents to attack. Mizuki is used to this; she has accepted it... and in fact, she even uses it as a sort of goad... but sometimes it fails. The incoming kick strikes true, disrupting Mizuki's plans of kicking back at just the right moment... but it doesn't seem to stagger Mizuki too much; she stumbles backwards, her mouth set in a little frown for a moment...
.. but only a moment, as she regathers her will and her thoughts and tries to focus on this fight. Gaining experience, that's the real reason... she just has to keep that in mind.
Soothe? Heal? Hime's eye tells her that Mizuki is looking a little better, but that really could be for any number of reasons! But as it stands, she isn't aware of what just happened other than her kick hit cleanly, which is the most important thing right now.
Landing on her feet and turning sharply, the little motor just keeps on going... Wait actually no she doesn't! Hime skips a couple of steps back, fists raised still and now takes a moment to plan her strategy. Clearly if she can find Mizuki's weak spot, she'd be able to win faster, now where might that be....

According to some, Mizuki's weak spot is in her inability to attack for the kill, as it were. But then, some people are just foolish. Mizuki gets her bearings back and finds that Himeko isn't attacking... a reprieve? Perhaps... but Mizuki doesn't think so. She thinks Himeko is planning something! Trying to find a way to disrupt that idea, Mizuki thinks and thinks... then ohs! as she comes up with a 'plan'. That plan is to reach into her pocket for a coin.
"Saw someone do this on in an old samurai movie," she explains, as she winds up, and fires the coin off for Himeko's forehead, using a quick underhand toss...

Himeko 0/-------/-======|==-----\-------\0 Mizuki
Himeko proves the task to be easier said than done, Himeko sees the glint of metal, but doesn't think too much on it.. In fact, when 'Samurai' is mentioned, she thinks it's going to be some sort of 'crossing swords' attack, in which they run by one another and there's a big slash and only one falls over!
So when the coin is whipped at her, Himeko twirls around and is already underhand swinging toward Mizuki's chin with the spine of her book and the force again carries the two upward, "Haaaaaaaaah!!" And the coin? Well apparently it hit her, and it's actually still stuck to her forehead; and when she lands? "... 'Rakansen'? Is that attack still legitimate in this day and age?" she asks with a nervous laugh.
... yep, it sure appears as though Himeko simply has Mizuki's number. That was painful as well. But it's only firing up Mizuki's desire to do -something- right in this match... the delaying tactic was so unsuccessful as to be painful in its own right. Mizuki pushes up to her feet and sighs, shaking her head ruefully.
"Apparently not," she replies... frowning a little, she decides against foolishly rushing in once more. Perhaps it's time she applied herself to studying Himeko, the way the girl was studying her...

Hurricane Hime shuffles from foot to foot, and then scritches her cheek, looking a little guilty, "I- Er.. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that, I just thought you had some samurai background in your style... Um.. Well anyway!"
She throws her free arm back, her scarf flapping wildly behind her and then she once more charges toward her unlucky opponent. She knows she's being studied, but if Saikyo has taught her anything, it's being spontaneous, keep the opponent guessing!
"Oryaaaaaaaaaaa!" she cries, shifting to slip behind her opponent, wrap her arms about Mizuki's waist and lurch back into a bigtime german suplex, "Journal! Suplex!"

Huh? Oh. Mizuki shakes her head. "No, I was just commenting on how ineffectual it was--" Whoops! Here she comes again! And... there she goes again. Once again, Mizuki's response is blunted completely; Himeko simply isn't where Mizuki thought she would be.
"Wha--whoa!!" Then follows a thudding crash as Mizuki is neatly brought down onto her back. "Oof... geez... sensei would spank me so hard if he were watching..."
Himeko seems to still be in a pretty good position it'd seem, and truth be told Hime is really starting to get confused now. Is fortune really smiling down on her or is the Saikyo style finally being utalized in its fullest by the young fighter? It was a mystery! "No rest for the weary, foe! Time to start kicking things up a notch!"
Though what she has in mind isn't anything really special, in fact it's very... Not impressive at all, considering. The little Hurricane just rushes in, and with both her hands, pokes her book out toward Mizuki's gut, seeming to just try to throw her off her game futher if anything else, "Hah!"

Not this time, Gadget! Mwa ha ha ha--wait, Mizuki's not evil. Doesn't even look it! She interposes her left arm between the book and her gut, the spine of the book glancing off her arm. "I've never seen anyone fight with a book before, Hime..-san." Yeah, Hime-san, that'll do.
"Where did you come up with it?" Knowing she's very behind in the fight, Mizuki takes another big risk--she rears back, with both hands on her baton, then lunges forward, thrusting the weapon forward as if she were a samurai with a katana! Fortunately the baton is not sharp.

Himeko seems to approve of the shortened name as well, even though it isn't obvious right away, she's be grinning a good deal of the match when she wasn't looking lost, after all. However Mizuki's question catches her slightly off-guard, "Oh umm.. That is a good question!" book again held firmly in her grasp and in front of her, there's a loud FWAP upon contact, which makes her slide back a little after said impact, "Oof! Well, it's hard to say, it just sort of happened, you know Dan Hibiki? He was my inspiration! I just took things up a level, see?" and then she goes in for another grapple, this time wanting to pull Mizuki into a reverse headlock, leaving her helpless to the quick knee to the gut that'd follow, "Hah!"

Helpless? Not entirely. Mizuki doesn't have time to respond; she's busy making sure she doesn't get kneed out... and then breaking free. "Huh... I see..." she says, not entirely sure; she hasn't heard of Dan Hibiki after all.
"I uh... that's cool!" she says, sincerely, if still sounding a bit confused. Backing off, however, Mizuki goes back to an old tactic--powering herself up. Once again she assumes that prayer position, and once more that power flares up around her...

".......... You don't see at all.." Hime replies, sure Mizuki escapes the clinch, but that's not what disappoints her. Dan is very famous in her mind, how can this girl not know! That was crazy talk it was! "That is blasphemy! It must be a sin in some religion, you need to go and brush up on some homework!" she declares, tearing three pages from her book, holding them between her knuckles, draws back then arm and hardens the paper with her chi, "He's who made this attack right here," and she whips the papers at the other girl, flying in a vertical pattern so it'd strike high middle and low if it hit, "Very famous!

Wh--whoa! Mizuki comes out of her prayer just in time; with the help of her baton, the three chi-charged papers are taken not head-on... but they still hurt. Mizuki frowns at herself... she's in a pinch now, for sure! She's not sure what to do... so she sits back and waits a little. Perhaps Himeko will have some sort of insight on how to end this, or perhaps Mizuki can find her own inspiration...!
"I, uh--" She shakes her head, "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of this Dan Hibiki," she admits, somewhat sheepishly; she can see it disappointed Himeko.
"But I'll find out who he is someday!" It's a promise.

"All right, good!" Himeko approves greatly to Mizuki's promise, spirits lifted once more as she gives a thumbs up. It seems her opponent has also defended her attack much to her suprise, and then hangs back just a little longer. This is likely to set up for some sort of big kill attack and she isn't completely sure at first with how to handle it. Her lips twist up a little, and she decides then to hang back a moment as well and regain some of her lost reserves.. It's looking likely that she's going to need it!
COMBATSYS: Himeko gains composure.

Hmm... interesting! The 'smart' move, perhaps, might've been to go for the 'kill'... but Himeko hangs back. That just means its time for Mizuki to man up! She ... well, she's not mannish, but she'll come charging in again, so to speak... running full out, but gracefully. That run is cut short as she ducks low, a few feet before reaching Himeko's position; she snaps her baton around in a low sweeping attack, seeking to take Himeko off her feet.
If she gets that she'll stand up, and as she does, she'll power her short staff through a hard uppercut as well, finishing with Mizuki's baton pointed straight for the sky!

Another big baton attack? Well as usual, Himeko isn't just there, she's there and ready for whatever is being dished out to her! At first it looks like the Hurricane isn't ready at all, though, the weapon hits her ankle cleanly, but she catches herself on her free hand, drops into a crouch and then a flurry of papers just explode in Mizuki's face, forcing her back as the lights dim, "......"
Hime stands up straight, her arms crossed as the papers rain down and whisp about her form dramaticly, "Allow me to tell you my name!" she starts, and jerks out the pointer finger of her right hand, "I am she, who does not allow, illiteracy!!" she takes a crane stance, wiggles her fingers, and then drops to another crouch, planting her hand flat on the ground, "The champion of Taiyo High School!!! Hurricane Hime!!" and a much stronger gust of wind picks up, whipping the tail of her scarf into the sky and makes her pose look only that much more dramatic! And with an affirmative nod, she holds her left arm out, flexing it as she shakes her fist, "Do you give up??"
Th--that was... wh-- what -was- that...?!? Mizuki didn't actually feel anything hit her at all... but it was certainly pretty effective in stopping her blow from connecting cleanly. The whole speechy thing gives Mizuki plenty of time to get back to her feet... she actually -waits- through the speech and the gusts of wind, smiling the entire time.
"I see... well, Champion of Taiyo High... I suppose I should introduce myself properly as well!" Dramatic pause! ...
"Kamigawa Mizuki. It's nice to meet you," she says, bowing properly. And then...
"Forgive me, Himeko-san, but I have to do everything I can to win!" So saying, Mizuki comes forward again, dropping her baton--but not really, as it dangles from a loop around one end that goes around her wrist. And she's reaching for Himeko's wrist--the intent being to grab with her left hand, turn towards her left, and fling Himeko to the ground.

Er wait a moment, that wasn't what was supposed to happen.. Hime was supposed to have struck such utter fear in Mizuki's heart that she would concede and leave the match right then and there! Instead she introduces herself? And then says it's a pleasure?? ".... Um.." stuck and the Dan-Taunt stance, so she seems to be plenty open for the flip and throw to the floor, which she does indeed hit hard, but she's quite confused still, so it doesn't register immedietly.
So she suddenly kip-ups, to turn and face her opponent again, "That wasn't supposed to happen! I guess I'll have to do it the hard way!" or at least she'll try to. With a spring forward, she swings down again at Mizuki's noggin with her book from mid-air, drops to a crouch and then instead of a golf swing, snaps out a deeper kick toward her opponents shin, "Kyaah!"

Perhaps justice -isn't- on her side! Mizuki tries to avoid the combination strike but it's to no avail; she's smacked in the head and kicked in the shin and she actually goes down face-first. *thump* She's still for a moment--almost as if Himeko's won... but then Mizuki's rolling away a couple moments later. She rises to her feet, and looks truly pained.
"Gomen, Hime-san. I know... this is probably unfair but... if I don't give my all, I won't feel good about myself tomorrow morning...!" That said... once again that 'wash' of blue-green chi splashes down around her, ruffling clothing, and yet disappearing before it hits the floor...
Himeko's more than sure she's won after that astounding blow! Because she ended up packing a lot more punch into that than she originally anticipated! "Woah!" she squeaks, her leg kicked out in such a wide arc that she flops onto her tummy, then quickly pushes herself back to her feet, "ok!"
She doesn't know what Mizuki is apologizing for, however.. The only thing Hime really knows is she's starting to wear out, she's forced to stick with the basics for a while which wasn't her original intent! "I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I can keep going all day if need be!" and to prove her point, the girl gets in close once more, attempts to grip Mizuki's top again with her knee shot then pressed to the girls gut. With a sharp pull backward, she performs a one handed Seoi nage, flipping her opponent into the air and hopefully onto the ground, "Hah!"

... it's just not Mizuki's night. The energy flows over her... and then here comes Himeko again. Surely, Mizuki can stop her this time...! Except... she can't, and she's grabbed and thrown once more. Really, she's about ready to concede... as she rises to her feet, she's looking tired, and very much like most of the fight's gone out of her. But she has to see this through to the end, no matter how close it is...
Lifting her baton, she salutes the Hurricane.
"Whoever your Dan Hibiki is, he seems to be a fine teacher..."
Himeko has never been on fire like this before, it's rather invigorating! She can almost feel the end of the match drawing near; however she didn't realize that the fleeting feeling was actually a threat of her OWN end. And wouldn't you know it, fortune is smiling down on the Hurricane something rediculous.
But the heroine isn't very smug about it, she's feeling inspired, like she's really starting to understand how to use her style properly! "Hibiki-sensei most certainly is! He's one of the greatest and funniest fighters in the world! But um.."
She looks a bit guilty, "Flattery isn't going to get you anywhere though, I'm still not going to hold back.. So here I come if you're ready!" Or if she isn't. Himeko sways from right to left as she leaps into the frying pan one more time, hops into the air and with a quick flip, aim a heeldrop kick toward the other girls shoulder again, "Hime Hime Chance!!"
COMBATSYS: Himeko successfully hits Mizuki with Light Kick.

Himeko 0/-------/--=====|====---\-------\0 Mizuki
The theme of the night is still going strong--that is--Himeko is gonna bust Mizuki up. The kick lands powerfully and drops Mizuki down to one knee; she flails for her balance, and just barely ends up not falling on the floor. But the fight's gone out of her; she raises her left hand and waves her surrender, then slumps to the floor.
She can't help it; she looks... well, dejected. Not because Himeko won; in fact, she musters up her best smile for Himeko and a heart-felt 'congratulations'... but she felt she should've done better! Ah, youth. That dejection will be transformed into a desire to become even better...! After some ice cream.
COMBATSYS: Mizuki takes no action.

And p-pow! Just where does this girl get it from? Is is legal to have this much awesome in one match? Is it?? And the thing is, Himeko was absolutly confident that her dropping kick was going to finish off Mizuki, though what the 'chance' part of her cry was is a mystery left for the pro's to figure out. She hops back, looks a bit hesitant as if waiting for another attack and then it appears she's won! The announcer declares Hurricane Hime the winner, and there's a polite applause from the spectators from this very very weird match. Was it even real, some wonder?
The Hurricane looks down to her opponent and offers her hand, with a grin, "It was a tough match.. But now you see Saikyo Ryu is pretty hardcore stuff! I'd treat you for something but um.." her eyes shift westward, then back to Mizuki, "I have this... Um.. Terrible.. Stomach ache.." her eyes shift westward.. And then back,
"So... I should maybe find a nurse... and.."
Eyeshift... "Zing!" she makes a break toward the non-fiction section.
COMBATSYS: Himeko has ended the fight here.
