Description: Aprile's moved onto Gedo now! And the one who is the poor victim turns out to be ... Kazuki! How will he deal with the doll on school property!? Does this set the stage for future Daigoing!? IS HER SECRET NOT A SECRET ANYMORE!? ... AND DID YOU GET YOUR CHECKUP LATELY!?
It's not like it hasn't been warned about before. There's at least one or two warnings about someone going about.. specifically, someone with Shadaloo ties. And they're saying hello to the school members here and there! It's just such a nice way to get to know the classes of the future! .. That would probably bother Lord Vega.
So they would all need to be judged. Not so much as in a 'ye are worthy' sense. Far simpler! .. They just need to learn a lesson, even if they don't know the moral behind it! Very important, yes yes.
And so, the nurse arrives.. wearing a white dress, a white hat like most nurses do, and a carries around an odd medkit, held in her hands, swinging back and forth merrily.. that and an odd pack on her back! Whatever it might be for. Oh, of course, that's CLEARLY not odd at all! At all.
Clearly.
Kazuki walks along like nothing is going on. His headphones are blaring some kind of classical music; he finds it off-sets the hard and punk rock tunes that he seems to be constantly hearing during his day at Gedo High.
Despite the somewhat... geeky music choice, however, none of the students really seem to be bothering the unassuming student. People leave you alone once you've shown you can defend yourself.
He stops when he sees the nurse just... standing there. He frowns ever so slightly for a moment, sliding back the headphones. "Excuse me, ma'am," Kaz says politely.(!) "Are you looking for someone?"
A polite student? At Gedo? Something is clearly suspicious!
Well, she's seen enough rowdy ones to fill a life time. But she doesn't know the school structure as well as the others who might have actually lived here would. It looks sort of rundown to her, but the doll in nurse's clothing seems to be taking a looong look at what is here.
And someone then comes over to her, speaking up. Well. the tone is nice enough. Clearly no one expects anything. It's better for her in the end.
"Oh hello! I'm a nurse.. young I know... but I've been wondering about seeking work here.. at least sort of an internship." She responds. "So .. not really anyone in particular!"
Turning to face Kazuki completely, instead of just turning her head, Aprile lets both hands hang down still, on the kit. "I've heard the members of this school are rather rough at times.. and I was thinking it might be the perfect place!"
Well, she does look Italian. So she's not exactly usually here, one could guess.
Kazuki hmms for a moment, looking around through half-lidded eyes and a very slight smile. "You could say that, I guess," Kazuki replies as he considers for another moment.
"I think, if you're looking for a job," he finally says, "That you may want to talk to the principal." He turns to point up towards the third floor of the building, and to get a better ear for the young lady. The trick here is that the actual vibrations that humans call 'sound' are unimportant.
Kazuki is listening for the nurse's chi. If it isn't very strong, like a fighter, she may not last very long here.
Oh. SO it's not a complete lie. The Justice Student wasn't very wrong at all! And for that she won't go back and beat her for such trouble! It's a nice thing, almost like friends. But Aprile wouldn't do that even so. The girl wasn't one who deserved such..
But still! As Kazuki considers, responding about the principal... Aprile knows she's done a basic thought beyond >:(, so he is certainly not psychic! That's for sure. "Oh, Daigo right? I heard he's a very nice teacher!" She says, nodding, a hand against her cheek now, as she looks up. "Hmm.. but I don't know if it would be wise to bother him right now.." As Kazuki listens for the nurses chi... it's dead silent. Just dead. If there is a faint bit, it's static. And it probably shouldn't be that.
He probably can't sense the psycho energy.. or the evil presence of one chin-tastic Lord.. even if lately he was de-chinned!
"Hmm? .. Do I have something in my hair? .. Maybe on my dress.." Kazuki's focusing on something!
Actually, he =can= hear psycho-power. It just sounds wierd, and it is not the first time that he has heard the slightly-off sounds of that energy. He just has yet to learn anything about it, is all.
He frowns as he looks back at the young lady as he shakes his head. "No. It's..." Kazuki pauses, it's =nothing= but what else is he going to say? "I do not think that Kazama-sempai makes hiring decisions." He considers for a moment before moving ahead. "So why are you really here?"
Mm. Tasty psycho-power, provided fresh from Lord Vega's soul!
But seriously, as Kazuki frowns, looking back at her, shaking his head and just mentioning that Kazama doesn't make hiring decisions. Oh. So Kazama... Daigo? doesn't make hiring decisions. This is .. a really helpful thing to know!
About a little bit ago that is! As it is, it seems that Kazuki might know something is up! And that is NEVER good to have them realize. Welllll. What could she possibly do? Turning away, Aprile scratches her slightly styled hair looking away. "Why I'm .. really here? I'm not sure you should ask some women that question!" She pipes.
Before she comes out swinging, spinning around, a harsh red color burning from her swings with her medkit, one from her spin about, the other produced as she swings around again, thrusting straight towards Kazuki.
"You just might not like the answer~!"

Kirigana brings his forearms in to block the strike, catching the energy and midkit evenly across the limbs. Kazuki hisses a bit as the red psycho-power burns through his system. That... sure as anything is =not= chi. He is still frowning as he steps in close.
"That was hardly lady-like," Kazuki says as he throws a punch for Aprile's midsection. The punch has a sheath of blue chi, and aims to disrupt what little life energy the doll has in her system.
COMBATSYS: Aprile blocks Kazuki's Disruptive Strike.

Kazuki 0/-------/-----==|=------\-------\0 Aprile
As Kirigana brings his forearms up.. Aprile is a bit sad! That was supposed to knock him for a loop. Ah, it'll just be a bit longer it seems.. and Kazuki hisses! Ah what a nice sound. It may not be chi but Aprile doesn't seem bothered by that at ALL. Master Vega's soul is a blessing.
The frown is met with a smile. "Oh you're still stuck with that? .. I can assure you I am very much a lady! But you really should learn to treat ladies better, as well." She adds, the smile holding as the punch he slams forwards is prevented from slamming into her through some effort.. it burns a bit as it stops, but Aprile, while not a user of such.. isn't immediately burned by such energies.
"I'm sure you'll come to understand in a bit! But that's alright, because I'm just beginning your treatment! So ... lie down and don't fight too much, alright?" She swings the medkit up, and then down towards Kazuki's head.
"The anaesthesia needs TIME to work!"
COMBATSYS: Kazuki counters Power Strike from Aprile with Counter Toss.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////////////////// ]
Kazuki 0/-------/----===|===----\-------\0 Aprile
Kazuki's hands move quickly, gripping Aprile's wrists firmly. With a twist, and a sharp downward snap, Kazuki throws the mad nurse onto the tile flooring. He stands up straight and looks at April with a flat look on his face.
"Perhaps, Miss. However, you attacked first," Kazuki says. "It does not matter if it is a man or a woman at that point. I defend myself." Momiji would =kill= him if he ever held back during spar.
As Kazuki grips her wrists, twisting, and snapping her into the tiles, she goes down pretty easily.. at least.. somewhat easily! Having the wind knocked out of her, Aprile gets back up after the strike.. but she smiles, picking herself off and brushing the pieces of dirt and tile off of her body. "Well... you rally aren't any fun them.. but it still doesn't matter. You'll just end up the way I want you to in the end... but you just CAN'T keep fighting off this.. this is really important!"
She notes. "It's like a shot! It'll hurt at first.. but afterwards you'll body will learn in the future to stay away!" But from what!?
Either way, Aprile slides towards Kazuki, the doll taking her speed and then..twisting around Kazuki, aiming to grab his arms, lock them behind him.. and then smash him into the ground, twisting the arms, a boot against his back, while psycho energy flows through her arms to numb her..
It just might work!
COMBATSYS: Kazuki dodges Aprile's Code Azure.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ////////////////////// ]
Kazuki 0/-------/----===|===----\-------\0 Aprile
Kazuki dives forward, rolling to his feet well away from Aprile before turning again to face the Doll. "I have =no= idea what you are talking about," Kazuki says. "Stay away from what?" He pulls himself to his feet.
It is obvious to him that she is clearly Up To No Good. And her attitude sucks. And she seems like she is trying to clear a patch for =something.=
But what? Kazuki decides that perhaps the best bet would be to wear her down. She may be more willing to talk if the fight is taken out of her. Kaz grabs the front of Aprile's outfit. Nothing inappropriate, mind you, but he needs the grip. He twists, and heaves as a gust of wind launches impossibly up from the floor to take Aprile higher before Kazuki slams her into the tile floor one more time.
COMBATSYS: Aprile interrupts Powered Toss from Kazuki with Heavy Kick.
- Power hit! -
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////////// ]
Kazuki 0/-------/-======|=====--\-------\0 Aprile
As Kazuki dives forwards, rolling to his feet, Aprile is rather unhappy. It doesn't seem like he wants to stay still! And with him asking, Aprile turns ... "Oh, you'll see!" She beams, happy enough, before he attempts to grasp her outfit.. and he 'needs the grip, does he'? Well.. as he twists, the nurse outfit is ripped from her.. but it's not the only thing she is wearing, of course. It was an outfit!
But as he twists, almost as if planned, the doll swings a kick forwards, towards the middle of his chest, before rebounding off, flipping backwards and landing onto her feet.. with a bit of an unfortunate loss of direction.. vertigo as it were.. half way through the air.
But upon the landing.. and once Kazuki gets back up ... he'll see the lady is .. far different. Clad in blue spandex, and a blue odd vest like pattern over that, that was covered by the dress.. the lady finishes the touches by inverting the white nurse hat, the blue shadaloo doll one replacing it. It was just inside out.
"Your neck of the woods is popular for getting involved.. so it's a preemptive care! You can't stop a growing cancer if you don't get to it early!"
If he knows of Shadaloo, at all? It's obvious this isn't good.
Kazuki frowns as he staggers forward. He turns to regard her and... oh hey! New clothes. Kirigana slides into his fighting stance as one hand reaches into his pocket to switch off his music player, which has been blasting the classical the entire time. He will need to focus a bit if he is going to win through this.
"Never fought a soldier before," he admits as he holds his center point and extends his chi just a tiny bit. A breeze sweeps through, and Kazuki seems to recover slightly as it does so.
COMBATSYS: Kazuki gains composure.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////////// ]
Kazuki 1/-----==/=======|=====--\-------\0 Aprile
As Kazuki frowns, staggering forth and everything, Aprile watches as he holds his point, a breeze helping him. "I am far from a simple, or normal soldier." She comments, falling back as well, bringing the medkit up and holding it forwards, before a brighter flare of red energy begins to gather.. around her.
As she falls back a step, she just happily takes it all in.
"Perhaps you should be worrying about other things boy.. it's really not in your favor to hang back.. why.. I think I remember a few that tried this technique..." She shakes her head, the power gathering around her. "They didn't last long.. or rather.. I outlasted them!" She laughs a bit.
"But they've got plenty of time to rest now! I've never seen a dead person come back to life, and I sure couldn't save them either."
COMBATSYS: Aprile gathers her will.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ////////////////////// ]
Kazuki 1/-----==/=======|=======\=------\1 Aprile
For a guy who just likes to take it easy in life, Kazuki sure does a lot of frowning. He does not say anything anymore. Things look to be getting lethal now, it seems.
Kazuki's response is requires little actual effort as he steps forward, and thrusts both palms to the ground. Another short burst of wind sweeps through, looking to shove Aprile down the hallway while Kazuki figures out his next move.
COMBATSYS: Aprile blocks Kazuki's Air Burst.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////////// ]
Kazuki 1/------=/=======|=======\=------\1 Aprile
As Kazuki thrusts both palms to the ground, a short burst of wind sweeping through, aiming to shove her down the hallway.. ends up poor. It's prevented, arms rising upwards as she looks onto Kazuki. "Ooooh. Going from a distance, are you?" She responds, grinning, before she actually opens the medkit.
"Well.. I hope you don't mind me much then.. if you STILL want to hang away I guess I'll make use of this~!" She's all smiley... before she unwraps a roll of gauze, wrapping it about her arms, the parts burned from constant chi abuse for a bit, even with the arm guards there now.
"After all.. if you want to play that game~!" Cutting it and taping it to her in a smooth ripping motion, the nurse is all smiles.
Kazuki considers pressing the attack for a moment, deciding to take in the situation better. He doesn't say anything, simply listening to the almost dischordant sounds that the winds carry back to his ears to keep him informed of the next move.
And then he moves, throwing another short punch at Aprile's shoulder. No tricks, really. It's just fast.
COMBATSYS: Aprile successfully hits Aprile with Cut And Paste.

COMBATSYS: Aprile interrupts Quick Punch from Kazuki with 10th Floor Transfer.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////////// ]
Kazuki 1/-======/=======|=======\==-----\1 Aprile
Honestly.. with all the preparation time that Aprile has had, the doll is able to give as little as she needs, and keep fighting back. Spend little, waste nothing, and stay on top. A degree of control!
So as Kazuki throws a short punch at her shoulder.. the fast blow .. isn't as fast as Kazuki would have wanted it to be.
"Now you come?" The wounds taken care of, the girl spins backwards, bringing the medkit around, the punch connecting before she slams into Kazuki, the steel lined, weight holding medic object dragging him into a spinning psycho energy typhoon, before he's raised upwards a bit in the hall.. and then spiked back down to the tiles, the nurse still having her breath and looking not too worse for wear.. even if she should be.
"Well.. your schoolmates made this be necessary.. preventative medicine is STILL medicine!" She chirps, smiling down at the boy.
Kazuki sprawls across the floor, his face bloodied by the medical kit. He stays down for a moment, considering before pulling himself to his feet. He looks across the way to Aprile.
"You are using your strength just because you can. Fighting for selfish purposes," Kazuki says. The wind starts to pick up. "That is not the proper use of strength." he says with the slightest hint of steel in his voice. Aprile is little more than a fancy bully in Kazuki's estimation. Bullies... piss him off for some reason.
Kazuki brings his hands up into the air. Could this be the legendary Todoh Ryu, whispered in the secret histories from before the dawn of time? Kirigana lunges forward, sweeping his hands down.
This is apparently nothing of the sort. What it IS, however, is a gale force wind that blasts through the hallway.
COMBATSYS: Aprile interrupts Wind Blast from Kazuki with Cross Of Red.
[ \\\\\\ < > //////////////////// ]
Kazuki 1/------=/=======|-------\-------\0 Aprile
As Kazuki sprawls against the floor, bloodied, Aprile is standing there, watching her. "Hmm? Oh .... no no no! This is NOT a selfish purpose!" She smiles, shaking her head. "Really don't see it like that... it's a perfect use of strength... I've never done this for myself you know!"
But Kazuki won't listen.. and as he sweeps a massive gale-force wind through the hallway, the doll is momentarily caught up by the assault. Her body is blowing backwards, the heavy winds catching her.. but she seems to focus, the winds parting slightly from around her.. before she swings that medkit again, red from the repeated bashings.. two lines, crossing parallel, creating a red burning cross of psycho energy .. a small shield from the wind that is rushed straight for Kazuki, to catch him as he pours the chi outwards. Grinning, she doesn't stop, charging him into the wall, feet perhaps sliding before both the energy and Kazuki hit a wall.. with a sickening thud, perhaps.
Stepping back a bit, the doll grins.
"Calling me selfish... my power was given by one and used for one alone."
"I would never cross Master Vega."
Kazuki slides to the floor and stays there. He is bleeding a good deal from a variety of cuts and scrapes. Good luck explaining this at home, he thinks to himself as the Aikido Prodigy pulls himself to his feet. He looks at Aprile sadly. "Of course you wouldn't. But look at what he does. Pain and suffering on those who cannot protect themselves," he says simply as he slides his headphones back over his ears. A moment later, the classical music kicks on again as he simply... walks away.
COMBATSYS: Kazuki takes no action.
[ \\\\\\ < > //////////////////// ]
Kazuki 1/------=/=======|-------\-------\0 Aprile
As Kazuki slides to the floor, staying there.. bleeding a variety of places all over, Aprile, a doll, having gained her power and love through a majority of terrible things.. only cares for Master Vega.. and as he tries to guilt trip her.. it's .. an insult.
Master Vega does things on those who can't protect themselves? .. OF COURSE! Master Vega is better than them.. why should he have to worry about those that don't go to his dream, and vision! As he slides away, walking, Aprile for a moment, bask in fury.
And then just runs at him. "You .... don't understand Master Vega at all.. so give this message to your classmates... I'm coming for them too!"
She kicks off the ground in the hall, bringing around a foot towards his back, to finally knock him down.
COMBATSYS: Kazuki fails to counter Light Kick from Aprile with Sudden Stop.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ <
Aprile 0/-------/------=|
COMBATSYS: Kazuki can no longer fight.

Aprile 0/-------/------=|
Starting up the music was a mistake, Kazuki will think when he wakes up later. He hears the kick coming in before he really registers it. He turns to use the one technique that has really never failed him: the fearsome Gyakuten Nage.
He didn't turn soon enough, it appears as the kick slams into his side and throws him into a locker.
This time, he really does not get up. He does not seem to be sleeping lightly, either...
As Kazuki tries to turn around, to prevent her assault... Aprile is already on top of him, and as he is thrown into a locker, falling to the ground, Aprile seems pleased. "I'm sure the rest will be just as simple...." Daigo might be a bit harder.
"But for now, I'm off! Ta ta! I hope they have some good doctors here as well!" Because she's not going to be helping him for now. At least. He's not going to be helping Vega.. it's a fair trade honestly.
"Sleep tight..." She says, waving, as the doll walks off Gedo property.
Before she gets sackbeaten!
