Karin - Pay Attention To Your Surroundings

Description: Or what happens when a Jerkface spills half liter of soda on you because he's not watching where he's going.



Airports are a place where Karin Kanzuki is quite familiar with, being that she's rich and her family owns a private jet or two. Karin's able to travel anywhere around the world she pleases. After facing Ken Masters in his office recently (to fight him), and then her match on Saturday Night Fight, she went off on a bit of a journey for herself, to try to improve herself as a fighter, and try to fix a few of her own problems as a fighter. It was hard, but it was totally worth it. Now if only she had an opponent to test her skills against.

So she's strolling through the airport, sighing a little as she leads her butler, Ishizaki, through the airport. The big guy is hauling the baggage, the poor guy. "Mmmh... If only we could locate Sakura..."

Airports are BORING!

There's never anything interesting going on, the seats at the boarding terminals are uncomfortable and the security checkers always seem to pick you out for... additional screening.

Or at least that's how it seems when you look like a muscle bound thug that spends too much money on clothes.

Yes, Shenwoo too is at the airport today, one hand wrapped around a very large, economy-sized beverage cup and the other holding onto... Nothing! The man has no baggage nor a servant carrying any luggage. Maybe he checked it... IS HE EVEN HERE FOR A FLIGHT?! Who knows? All that is apparent is that he's here, every last pound and inch of him, his bleach-bottle blonde hair swept back into a array of spikes, a short-sleeved shirt that his just couldn't be bothered to button up, and a pair of long, black slacks that may or may not have a small belt affixed around his shin.

Yes, this is Shenwoo, God of Battle strolling through a terminal and slurping at a straw. Also, he is not looking where he's going! Cutting across from one side or another, the big lout that is the brawler fails to see the drill-haired girl, his attention instead turned upwards at some object of art or another. He is used to people staying out of his way really. This is why when he trudges forward and runs into Karin, it is something of a surprise, surprise enough for that big, near-bucket sized drink of his? Yeah, it might just end up spilling out right over her pretty, blonde head.

Knocking into someone isn't as big a deal, though one could always complain to the person to watch where they're going, in the end there's no point in getting angry about it. Getting splashed with soda, on the other hand?

SPLASH.

Karin blink blinks as her head is suddenly soaked in drink, gasping a bit in shock from getting soaked in the cold drink, before growling, and letting out a FURIOUS yell. "C-Cold--Yoooooouuu...!!! YOU INCOMPETENT, COMMON IDIOT! HOW CAN YOU BE SO IDIOTIC AS TO NOT WATCH WHERE YOU'RE WALKING?! I'M SOAKING WET THANKS TO YOUR IDIOCY!!"

It could have been okay. She could have left it at one single snap, a sharp word of complaint that would only prick lightly at the slightly older man's hide. Instead, with a voice like a auger, she bored into him, digging past the layer of indifference and striking something a little more volitile.

It took Shenwoo a moment to process the scene, at first, the sight of the drenched girl was humerous, his broad mouth instinctively crooking in a smile born of schadenfreuder before he realized he was to blame for getting her wet.

Normally, he can't help it. He's a wild and sexy guy. It just happens.

This time he is directly to blame however.

A apology was considered breifly and then promptly forgotten when she laid into him with all the timid, gentleness of a wheat thrasher.

As if before a strong wind, Shen swayed back before the force of her gale-strength complaints, caught off guard for just a instant before things like regret and sympathy became annoyance and anger.

"Hey, who the heck do you think you are, you little brat, popping off at me like that?!" snapped the Chinaman, blonde brows weighing down over his eyes in a glower, lips pulling back from his lips in a snear. He loomed forward, a finger pointed at her accusingly. This is entirely her fault! "Walking out infront of people and then getting all high and mighty when they run into you, what do you expect?! It's just a little-" less than a liter of "soda, get over yourself!"

Karin blinks at Shenwoo's denial of her complaints, before growling and shifting her stance, "It's not just a LITTLE soda, idiot! You weren't paying attention to your surroundings either!" She growls and goes into a fighting stance, "You know what? I'm going to beat an apology out of you just for that!"

A fight? The idea was enticing, exciting even! But with a little, blonde drill-haired girl? He had his misgivings. Was she any good?

Lifting his jaw, Shen Woo fixed her with a appraising look, his expression draining of the mirth of earlier. "You think you could make it worth my time?" he intoned leadingly. Lifting his hand up, Seifer grinds a fist into his open palm, the knuckles popping and cracking. He repeats the process with the opposite hand into the other palm.

"Fine." he offers with broad-wolfish smile, "Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you're some scrawny girl! If you don't have what it takes to keep up with Shen Woo, the God of Battle, you better quit now before I knock your teath down your throat!" he declares.

He is far from a gentleman of course, this should be apparent by now... If not, the sudden, foreward lunge and the swift jab should clear it right up.

COMBATSYS: Shenwoo successfully hits Karin with Quick Punch.

Shenwoo          0/-------/-----==|==-----\-------\0            Karin


Karin is far from incapable of fighting, though it does take the failed block and the strike to her jaw to really shake her into fully awakened fighting mode. She staggers back from the strike, and rubs her cheek briefly, before hmphing and shifting back into her fighting stance.

"Clearly you have no inkling who you're dealing with, so called 'God Of Battle'. You face KARIN KANZUKI, not some common lowlife!" With that, she cries out and swings an overhead roundhouse, aiming to smash it right into Shenwoo's head.

COMBATSYS: Shenwoo endures Karin's Elegant Kick.

Shenwoo          0/-------/----===|==-----\-------\0            Karin


Karin's foot streaks up and comes down... right on Shen Woo's thick, concrete-dense skull. This manages to bow the taller man, spine crooking downwards, his head bowed, rogue, blonde locks hanging down.

It wasn't enough to ring his bell. In fact... as he straightens... He is smiling.

A impossible ammount of teeth feel the mouth that threatens to split in half, madness and perhaps blood lust play about in his eyes.

"What the hell was that?" he demands of her, simply ripping in verbally at the very begining of their fight. "WHAT IS THIS WEAK SHIT YOU ARE TRYING TO PULL ON ME?! DIDN'T I JUST TELL YOU TO KEEP THAT WEAK CRAP OUT OF MY HOUSE?!"

He will show her, he will show her what level he is expecting. Balling his left fist, Shenwoo rears that hammer of meat and bone back beyond his shoulder. Knuckles protrude beneath the leather glove like four battering rams. Battering rams that are suddenly streaking towards Karin's visage, the tall, blonde's body working all of his weight behind this furious, face-seeking fist missile!

COMBATSYS: Karin fails to counter Gekiken from Shenwoo with Yasha Gaeshi.

Shenwoo          0/-------/--=====|=======\-------\0            Karin


Karin goes wide eyed as her hands move once more, making to grab Shenwoo, only for the fist to plow through her counter attack attempt, and she gets once again another fist driven right into her face, and it causes her to fly across the airport, and crash to the ground.

By this point, a crowd is starting to gather and see what the hell is going on. Airport security knows better than to interfere in a street fight with monsters like these, so they're keeping the crowd from trying to get too close.

Karin grits her teeth and slowly pushes herself back up to her feet, and she's got all the Dizzy motions of being dizzy. Dizzy Dizzy. Wide open.

The face-seeking fist missile will not be detered by grabbing hands, the face-seeking fist missile is only interested in faces.

His point proven, Shenwoo leers across the distance between them. He half-expected in his heart of heart for her to just stay down. It was a disappointing, sad expectation. The sight of her crawling to her feet gives him a ember of hope that this might be worthwhile.

"Keh, so after that you want some more, huh?" he utters mostly to himself, "Maybe you ain't as boring as I thought."

That said, he bolts forward in a run, stooping into a sudden charge that closes the distance between them in a instant! His hand lashes out at her blouse, seeking a hand hold before he plants a foot to anchor himself before pivoting on the planted foot , shifting his weight as he turns away, trying to lever the girl over his shoulder and send her for another in-terminal flight!

COMBATSYS: Shenwoo successfully hits Karin with Quick Throw.

Shenwoo          0/-------/-======|=======\=------\1            Karin


Maybe Karin just got herself into the wrong fight this time. The kind of fight she simply has no chance of winning. The thought sort of crosses her mind as she gets thrown across the terminal, and crashes into the ground once more. This guy was simply too brutal for her...

However, her eyes snap wide open and she growls, before suddenly kipping up to her feet, when she by rights should stay down, and shifts her stance, before suddenly dashing in, and suddenly using her adrenaline rush to begin laying down a nice long series of palms thrusting and driving at Shen Woo's chest, with a few elbows swinging up for good measure, "SHINPI-KAIBYAKU!" With a last hard palm thrust driving at him with hopefully enough force to knock him down.

COMBATSYS: Shenwoo Toughs Out Karin's Kanzuki-ryu Shinpikaibyaku!

Shenwoo          1/-------/=======|-------\-------\0            Karin


Shenwoo may or may not have been perfectly happy just to fling her from one end of the terminal to the next. He may have even been stretching a leg to do just that again. He doesn't get the chance however, Karin is back up and has some pay-back in mind. Not one to shy away, Shen just wades directly into her assault.

He is like a rock in a stream as she assails his bare chest with open palm and his midsection with her boney elbows. She drives him back with her ferocity. One step and then another is given in the face of her aggressive rush. She may as well have been wailing against the side of a concrete wall. She might leave a few bruises... but she could do nothing to wipe off that almost shark-line cheshire grin.

"What the hell was that?!" he demands, "What did I just tell you about this weak crap?! Do you even know how to throw a punch with those scrawny little fists of yours?! I thought I told you not to waste my time!" he barks at her, surging forward, left fist coming around in a sudden, brutal hook that would carry the fist right across her cheek unless she escapes.

COMBATSYS: Shenwoo successfully hits Karin with Strong Punch.

Shenwoo          1/------=/=======|====---\-------\0            Karin


Karin is too slow to even try to block the punch, which smashes into her face and whips her head to the side and for a moment she staggers. Surely the man must have knocked her unconscious by now. Instead, she turns her head and glares right back at Shen Woo, and spits some boot out of her mouth, and responds to him, "Is that all?"

Karin then dashes in once more, driving her palms once more at his chest, and then sending a swinging kick up for his head, "GUREN KEN - MUJIN KYAKU!"

COMBATSYS: Shenwoo interrupts Guren Ken from Karin with Fukuko-Geki.

[         \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  ///                           ]
Shenwoo          1/----===/=======|======-\-------\0            Karin


A boot thumps to the polished floor of the of the airport following the spit of the prim and proper Karin. Shenwoo is left preplexed for a single, wonderful moment. His mask of madness quirking into just a utter moment of dubya tee eff. One brow threatened to launch off of forehead, quirking high up towards his hairline while his lips skewed into a inexplicable twist.

His confoundation wanes when she presses the attack again, daring to taunt him. It rouses his ire.

This means thaqt when she jams the heels of her palms into his chest, she does not get that push she may have expected, again the taller man wades in to meet her, both hands lifting up over his head and joining into a single fist that comes hammering downwards, cutting off her attempted kick with a sledgehammer like blow that comes crashing down from on high!

The blow crashes down upon the back of Karin's head and sends her crashing to the ground face first, and it finally seems that the girl had taken the very last of the punishment she was capable of handling. Certainly she was down and out of it.

Yet, even when most people watching the fight decide that it was over, and begin to move on, those who keep paying attention let out a large GASP in amazement. The girl clad in the red school girl begins to stir from her fallen place, and begins to stand right back up, if slowly. The Girl's hair is a mess by now, but all it takes to see is the burning desire in her eyes hiding behind her locks of blonde hair, to tell that, whether she was conscious or not, the girl wasn't calling it quits.

The girl then leaps into the air, her palms whirling as she aims to strike at Shenwoo once more. She likely won't even remain standing after she comes down, but for now, she attacks.

COMBATSYS: Karin has reached second wind!

[         \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  //////                        ]
Shenwoo          1/----===/=======|======-\-------\0            Karin


And it's while she's in the air that her eyes snap open, glaring once again at Shenwoo, even as she falls.

COMBATSYS: Shenwoo Toughs Out Karin's Ressen Ha!

[             \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >  //////                        ]
Shenwoo          1/-======/=======|=======\-------\0            Karin


She lands another blow against him, this one might have a bit more weight behind it than her previous strikes, hammering down from elevation, the force of her leap worked into it, again he is hammered into a stoop. He straightens to find those eyes that had been closed for business a moment ago open again. It's not quite like Christmas, more like Easter, her ability to keep on fighting pleasing him like a nice bag of jellybeans. "Mouthy brat, you've got spunk, but that's it!" he barks as he straightens!

He'll give her barely a heartbeat's worth of time to land and ready herself.

He's on her, a sudden fast and brutal rush that seems to cause him to blur faintly with the sudden acceleration. His left arm rears back again, hand balled into a punishing fist.

He has one last word for her before he strikes...

Well, it is not so much a word as it is a roared bellow.

"OrrrrrrrrrrrA!" he shouts, tongue rolling the Rs in some sort of frenzy before that fist streaks forward.

If the first one was a face-seeking fist missile, this one is more like a orbital bombardment of punch nukes.

COMBATSYS: Shenwoo successfully hits Karin with Zetsu! Gekiken.

[             \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  < >                                ]
Shenwoo          0/-------/-======|=======\======-\1            Karin


The 'Fist Nuke' is indeed brutal, and once again Karin is completely unable to brace herself and keep the first from burning through and smashing into her chest. The girl goes skidding across the terminal once again, and for a moment she wobbles. Her body again seems to go on automatic as the lights are once again on but nobody is home.

Katin then dashes in and leaps once more at Shenwoo, this time her palms whirling harder, faster, trying to hit something like twelve consecutive times! Surely once this little desperate moment is over, there will be nothing left in the tank for her.

COMBATSYS: Karin can no longer fight.

[             \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\  <
Shenwoo          0/-------/-======|


And this time around, those eyes filled with burning desire to win don't snap back open. Her body instead just crashes to the ground right afterwards.

COMBATSYS: Shenwoo endures Karin's Kanzuki-ryuu Kou'ou Ken.

[                   \\\\\\\\\\\  <
Shenwoo          1/------=/=======|


She lays into him again, this time with more frevor, a last ditch act that he weathers with much less stoic madness than before.

He is pushed back by a storm of blows, eventually finding a row of chairs with the back of his knee, forcing him back and over it, toppling at last!

It doesn't last of course, far from beaten, Shenwoo rises, ready to bring more violance against the high schooler... only to find her motionless on the floor. This is disappointing.

"Keh." he 'says' clicking his tongue against the top of his mouth as he dusts himself off. Feeling like a job half-finished, Shenwoo stalks away, his approach parting the crowd like moses and the red sea

And just like that, the fight is all over, and airport security just shoos the crowd off. Nothing to see, move along.

In the mean time, Karin's butler Ishizaki tends to her injuries, since this fighter seemed considerably more brutal than others she's been in. Maybe Karin will be more careful the next time she runs into him.

COMBATSYS: Shenwoo has ended the fight here.
