It was pool two, the finale of this pool, but it was not a three-free for all due to unexpected events of one of the matches between two ninja—After intermission, the damage from the match between Lil’B, Keldran and Hitomi, such as blood was covered by fresh dirt and the earth moved was adjusted back into a flat land. Standing center in a dome that covered two and a half hundred by two and a half yard radius—As accommodations, the center field was freshly cut grass, wet grass with few patches of moist dift, after a hundred yards moving toward the outer rim of the dome, the field of grass became a bit taller, bushes could be found and lined near the outer area, such as against the dome’s walls were vine bushes and trees held to a spring green. It was a little past one PM, and the weather of today was no longer cloudy and the sunshined brightly down to grace the dome, contenders and those within the crowds; the breeze was light and didn’t hold the same chill with it, it wasn’t hot, but it wasn’t nippy anymore. Towards the crowd that cheered for the next match, the intermission had finally ended and the contenders were no doubt on their way—Per-normal, Kinshi found herself standing in the middle of this dome, her arms crossed underneath the chest pockets of her jacket as she waited; she was dressed in the casual attire of a Jōnin, however, she was in black. Upon her ability to sense the two contenders making their way out, her right hand lifted to tug downward on the mask she wore of her mouth and nose; her left hand lifted as well, with her index pointing upward towards the sun that lingered above her. Today’s match was between ‘Kaylee Kedoin’ and ‘Ded Lee’—Kaylee winning by default due to a boy holding issues and Ded Lee being someone of her team and a match she didn’t witness or heard much about; almost like she was too proud to care. “Today’s match is between two contenders—A finale of pool two.” She said, her voice forcing all those in the stands to become quiet as she addressed them coming out onto the field. Pointing to her left with the same index that pointed to the sky, she addressed the female first, as lady’s first or some weird ruling like that. “Here we have, Kaylee Kedoin. A fellow leaf ninja whom made it here out of unique circumstance; may her luck follow her” The Senju said, her head turning to look towards Kaylee, her aqualit eyes staring at her for a moment as she smiled softly to Kaylee; she didn’t really know what to say. As these words left her lips, her left hand dropped as her right hand lifted with her index pointing toward the familiar male that entered the dome-field as well; her head looking back to the crowd. “To my right, we have Ded Lee. Impressing those whom try to limit him by expectations of failure; may his determination shine.” She said, her head turned to greet him with a smile and a nod of approval and being proud as his teamleader—It was almost a bit awkward as well, but that was for different reasons. As soon as the two lined up centered on eachother, Kaylee and Ded lee being dressed on eachother with twenty-two feet between them—Kinshi expelled into a cloud of cherry blossoms petals, a body flicker she did uniquely. Leaping upward and forward to spectator’s stand, upon her reappearance and landing, her feet planted on the rim-railing as she turned to look downward to the center of the dome, her hands cupped over her mouth as she shouted. “Begin!”

VerinChan: The day was hot, a soft wind rushing over the land, it dipped slightly into the large Arena, one that the genin was now familiar with. Walking into the field slowly one foot in front of another, Kaylee’s golden hues examined the large building again. Her eyes glanced over to a certain spot where her life was almost taken from her and she shivered slightly. She took a deep breath in and tore her gaze away. She looked to the people who watched the crowd and then down to Kinshi. The woman that had taken her by surprise, she first met Kinshi at her house for dinner as a guest of the boy she was fighting today. She thought the girl was younger and fragile… but no she was actually a Jounin, and a strong one at that. Her eyes admired the woman. Then finally, her eyes locked onto Ded Lee, she had sparred this boy not too long ago. She had a rather close encounter with his gentiles and wished to never be that close again. She remembered from their previous fight that he was a Taijutsu specialist, and though she knew Taijutsu she still wasn’t the best at it, despite her reaction times and speed but still… this time she had to make it count. Her heart began to beat loudly and soon enough the crowds roar came to soft white nose in the back of her mind. She had to win this… she was going to reach her goal she was going to accomplish her dream. The Rock of the Hidden Leaf Village, the protector that they needed… In order to get this she needed to be stronger and pass all the tests she needed to be smarter. She had no ill will against Ded Lee, in fact she considered him a friend and the smile towards him showed it. However she wouldn’t let him stand in the way of her dreams… Pressing up on the balls of her feet ready to push off her fingers itched twitching slightly ready to move on impulse. Her eyes locked on his body, his movements any tense of muscle she would be ready and willing to counter or block… She wanted this to be quick but she wouldn’t rush it. She had a good feeling he would be a challenge no doubt. A good fight this should be, a Ninjutsu user against pure Taijutsu. Surely the Odds would be in someone’s favor today, Kaylee just hoped it would be her. She stood twenty two feet away from the boy and at the words “Begin” Mentioned by Kinshi she pushed off the balls of her feet in a full on sprint towards the boy quickly closing the distance. As soon as she pushed off her spot her hand was already in her pouch and in a split of a second later she threw kunai between the two of them, a paper tag attached as soon as it hit the ground the smoke would cover herself, she had been just began training sensory but she wasn’t going to take her chances. Quickly disappearing in side the smoke… she slipped under the ground 10 feet away from where he had been originally standing if he did not move… the moment she was under she took a deep breath… her hand seals formed as fast as she could manage. And within a 25 feet radius from her spot she slammed her hands onto the rock. Immediately pieces of the earth began to shoot up into the sky. This was similar to their original fight… only this time… the pieces of rock were senbon sized it shout of the ground like thick rain. This created a small crater in the ground about five feet deep and Kaylee let a clone stand in the center as she was just off to the right of the clone still under ground. If any of these senbon sized pieces of earth were to hit him they would surely pierce his skin as if it was intense acupuncture causing severe bleeding and bruising. If any of them missed him, they would surely fall back down eventually. Kaylee calmed her breathing though she had used quite a bit of chakra from that, but all in attempts to get him, the quick but tricky Ninjutsu, the range impeccable. In the mean time she focused underground finding his chakra struggling to because she had not mastered or got down her sensing technique, but with the hiding like a mole it was a bit easier to sense him.

DivineZiel: -The sun shining high, blasting its rays down upon the arena which held civilians of Konoha in the stands. The bright blue sky screamed out with their roaring colors. Ded's last fight wasn't much of a remembering factor since his opponent didn't even show up however, as he walked through the stadium and out onto the field after a bit of time, it could be seen that he had on different clothing than usual. This being a black long sleeved shirt that at the front cut off, baggy black pants that puffed out around his thighs to knees and tightened their grip along his calves, standard shinobi sandals in the same color covered his feet while fingerless gloves of yet again, the same color covered his hands. He still wore his steel ankle weights and forearm weights as he only walked into the light from the shadows. His dark blue hair glistened against the sunlight as it could be seen that it was pulled into a ponytail and a bandage covered his forehead. His yellow eyes took in the sight of not only Kinshi but Kaylee as well, his opponent for this marvelous fight for all to behold. Walking until a good twenty-two feet were between them, he heard everyone in the crowd yell in beliefs of who could win, who would win as well as just wanting a bloody good fight. The introductions for all to see began as his eyes only narrowed down on Kaylee with not a look of laziness or boredom as he would only say in gently, almost like a whisper "I'm sorry." From their, his lids would only close halfway as his yellow irises stared against her body. Ded didn't care about winning or losing however, that didn't mean he wouldn't hold back a bit. Folding his arms behind him, his hands had already reached into his pouch and grabbed a smoke bomb. With Kinshi vanishing in a flurry of cherry blossom petals and the words "Begin" came out, the crowd roared loudly with chants and just pure want of a fight. Ded though on the other hand noticed Kaylee already coming towards him. At that moment, he would drop the smoke bomb onto the ground while he already noticed from his long wait in the arena before where the only tree that stood was. As the smoke puffed out before Kaylee got there, Ded was already out of the smoke and going towards the tree in a quick pace. An explosion behind him could be heard as the paper bomb she must've thrown blew up. Reaching the tree in little to no time being wasted at all, he hopped up onto one of the branches as he looked down, around him, scanning it. His eyes like that of a hawk, he only watched and waited until he noticed senbon rocks raining from the sky which gave him a quick glance of what seemed to be from their last fight. With him only looking out to the ground, the smoke from his bomb had already been gone as he watched for movement.-

VerinChan: Kaylee was underground still as she breathed in and out slowly… she focused on his chakra… where had it gone? She blinked slightly sensing him in a direction… the far corner but he was off the ground…he was too high up to be on the ground. Then it struck Kaylee, the only tree in the arena, he must be on that… As soon as she found him she swam through the earth, metaphorically speaking. She used the chakra round her to soften the sand pushing her through it, as soon as she could pass through that earth it would return to its state showing no sign of where she was on the surface. Kaylee reached the roots of the tree and performed her quick hand signs. She was moving quick in all of her actions after all earth was her element. So these actions only took a few seconds. Once her hand signs were completed and it was swift she pressed her hand on the ground, this was her Earth wave technique. However the clone faced her back to where Ded Lee was so he couldn’t see her hand signs, but the arms still moved and pretended to slam it’s hand on the ground… using the clone to its fullest abilities as an aversion. However when the technique started it did not pinpoint from one area, no the 10 foot radius from under this tree towards the crater began to wave vicious ferocious waves. This would cause the tree Ded was supposedly on to begin to shake and tilt whilst Kaylee under ground used one of her kunai to cut the roots of a few and the tree began to timber or fall over towards the ground. The girl would keep track of him and where he would be as soon as he touched the ground. If he was in the air she would only be able to sense him faintly, due to her abilities not strong, but if and when he landed on the earth she would know. At this moment the senbon sized pieces of rock began to start raining down, a bit of the wind from the day carrying them towards the direction of the tree. The senbon earth wasn’t at a deadening speed but they would cause for some frustration or distraction if they where to hit the boy possibly getting him off guard.

DivineZiel: -Perched on the tree, he would only sigh as he noticed the crater where the senbon sized rocks came out of, similar to their last fight, just like the wave that began to move throughout the land under him. Merely looking down but up to the rock, he noticed the wind drifting them towards him. It was then that he would feel the tree already beginning to fall with the waves of earth possibly making it do such a thing. He knew he was wasting her chakra at this point and it was a good side of it however, the bad side was the situation he was in. As the tree was going timber, the rock needles would only rain down towards him, some already hitting the ground from their speed and some still coming down in the process. Standing up quickly, he'd let his right foot move back a bit on the branch as he pushed himself backwards while he was in the air going towards the wall of the arena. The rocks would pierce against the tree harshly as the rain finally stopped as Ded would land against the wall and he focused his chakra into his feet a bit to stablize himself against the wall until he let himself push forward a bit and dropped down. Avoiding going into the bushes, he would land on solid ground as he watched the wave going on and reached behind his back, folding his arms behind him once again as he grabbed onto a paper bomb, holding it in his hand, he'd stand there while he watched the field of play going on. He needed to either wait for her to come out and fight him or waste her chakra enough to where she'd have to be forced out of it.-

VerinChan: The clone began to run towards, Ded as soon as he landed and Kaylee underground moved to the center of the crater ducking down, due to the crater being 5 feet deep and Kaylee was only 4’9 she ducked just enough so she wouldn’t be seen and give away the fact that her clone was running at him. She clone held an imaginary kunai as it ran towards Ded Lee screaming as it did. The clone shouted some meaning ful words. “You will not get in the way of my dreams! I will win!” it shouted. Meanwhile Kaylee prepared her self with 3 shuriken in one hand and a senbon lodged between her middle and ring finger as it held her kuna with an explosive bob crumpled in her palm. Jumping out of the crater quickly she ran towards the direction of Ded, the earth waves finally stopping as she didn’t want to waster her chakra that she had left. She needed to be smart about this, running right at a Taijutsu fighter was not smart but she had some utensils to help her out. She’d have to play a bit tricky but she would not stop. She was going to give it her all. Kaylee was running towards him now 20 feet apart, and closing in fast. Her foot steps damn near silent. The will of fire burning in her eyes.

DivineZiel: -As Ded stood there waiting, he noticed Kaylee jump out of the crater that was formed from earlier as he would only watch and heard her words however, his eyes looked to her feet as he noticed that the grass that was being stepped on wasn't crumpling under the weight. Letting go of the paper bomb as he replaced it with a smoke bomb, he would start walking towards the clone as he showed no fear. Upon the clone and him clashing and it vanished from sight, he saw Kaylee coming towards him once again as he would pull his hands from behind him, holding the smoke bomb in his hand without it being noticed. Running towards the real Kaylee until a good four feet between them, he would drop the little bomb as it exploded in a large smoke screen that expanded to a good seven feet all around the two. She was right in front of him by this time and he knew it unless she moved from the spot. As he kept running towards where she was last, he'd see her silhouette through the smoke which gave off a shadow due to the sun and cover of smoke. As he reached her, he would only duck down as he would end up on the ball of his left foot, spinning only halfway with his right leg going towards her but instead of a sweep, he rose his leg more, in attempt to kick her in the chest. The force from the kick as well as the factor of his ankle weights adding more force into it, it could cause deep bruising if it had landed and could possibly send her figure up into the air.-

VerinChan: Kaylee saw him coming right at her and she clenched her teeth “Damnit…” She cursed under her breath. She saw him throw something on the ground and her golden eyes widened immediately pivoting on her foot, she was at the very edge of the quickly spreading smoke. As soon as he threw the Smoke bomb she threw her three shuriken onto the smoke. One aimed down wards where she hoped his knees or feet where the other aimed above and the other aimed right in the center. If these were to land they would pierce his skin causing him to bleed where ever they hit him on the body…. She kept her other kunai with the crumbled tag in her hand and the hidden senbon. Her other hand reaching for another kunai this one with a string/wire on it. She was rather resourceful and decided to use it… She was running out of the smoke or trying to seeming as she was hardly in it and was running counter clockwise outside of it, her eyes still on it looking for a shadow, a silhouette… She created another clone to stand where she had thrown the shuriken from as it shouted out to him. “COME OUT HERE COWARD!”

DivineZiel: -As the kick connected with her back, the force behind it would shoot her up into the air. Quickly turning to where he was crouched on the ground facing towards where she was, her shadow was still in the smoke and was able to be seen as he pushed himself up with his leg strength and ended up above and behind her. Shadow of the dancing leaf was initated from that moment on as his body movements followed hers as they were in the air together. Just then though, Ded would wrap his arms behind her after he let himself go backwards a bit, wrapping his arms around her waist while he then squeezed tightly. If he had gotten the grab on her, he'd squeeze his arms around, they forearm weights slamming against her form while he spun them in the air to where he was under her now and tilted himself backwards when they began falling. If everything was still set in motion by this time, he would slam her into the ground where her shoulders and neck smashed into the earth and her legs curled towards her head.-

VerinChan: She looked for him noticing his left foot all too late. She tried to turn her body to the right, where her right hand which held her last Kunai as she was kicked her hand threw out the kunai right to his ass and upper thigh, being that they were at such close quarters and he was in the process of kicking her it would no doubt be a shock. However his weights with the kick made her cough as it kicked some air from her lungs no doubt bruising her back. She was forced about 5 feet forward, her toes grazing the ground she fell to her knees her hands flat on the ground as she attempted to push off to her left, which was indeed away from him, she only had enough chakra left for one more jutsu and wasn’t going to waste it just yet. Getting some distance again she would wipe the corner of her mouth on her black glove glaring at him… She wasn’t mad at Ded in fact she was impressed with how much stronger his legs had become. That kick truly caused pain for her. But she couldn’t let it crush her dreams. She wanted to be great. She wanted to be strong and protect her village, her dreams being the fuel for her fire, her will of fire.

DivineZiel: -The kick had connected and once it was, he felt something jab into his ass cheek while he would wince his eye in pain. As she was shoved back from it, he'd only push himself up while he grabbed the handle of the kunai and pulled it out as some blood would roll from the wound but not much. Holding the kunai in his hand with the blade towards his forearm, he would only dash backwards out of the smoke. Still holding the kunai, the light breeze that rolled by made the open wound hurt a bit however, nothing really to stop him from fighting. Looking towards the smoke, he'd wait for it to only fade out after a tiny amount of time. Looking towards the left of where he kicked her, he would only stand there and waited for an attack, staring at her closely, if she made any movements, he would know just from how his eyes were dead set right on her.-

VerinChan: ‘Shit he has my Kunai…’ Kaylee breathed heavily… she was 6 feet away from him as she looked up at him and stood up. She wondered what she could do at this moment… her eyes trained at him. Ded Lee had changed… he was so serious so dark.. this fight would go on for hours… Her breath was heavy as she felt her chest rise and fall slowly. Her hands twitched slightly… She couldn’t think much, she was in pain from his immense kick… but she tried to stay calm she tried to stay focused. She took a deep breath in and quickly jolted forward, but didn’t move… it was a juke… to see if he would move… she did it two more times and on the fourth time she actually sprinted in at him, her speed immense as this would probably be her close to last go at it with him. She leaned her body forward to increase speed as she held her left arm out to block any attack she knew he was holding her kunai. But she dropped down swinging her left leg, her right hand going for an upper cut to the nuts. So she had been in place as her left leg went from right to left in an attempt to trip and held her left arm out above her head. Her right hand going right to hit his nuts, if it hit she would smash his genetalia up against his pelvis bone.

DivineZiel: -His eyes watching her and his body ready to move however, she attempted to juke him the first time which had no effect as it could be seen since he was only standing still. Then two more jukes came while he only stood still as if he was even paying attention to her even though his eyes were right on her. With her coming right at him the fourth time she moved, he would stand the way he had been since she started it. Seeing her coming at him, his stance changed slightly as he went on the balls of his feet and his right foot moved back. With her getting closer and closer, he saw her drop low to the ground as he hopped to the left. Once he did, he noticed her leg going for a sweep and her arm going for an uppercut as he only dashed right to her with his left leg out first and his right leg in motion for a kick, swinging from his own right. If the kick would make contact, it would more than likely make contact with either the side of her face, which from the force could break something or it could hit the back of her head, causing some blunt trauma.-

VerinChan: Kaylee glares at his dodge going to jump towards him trying to follow him only to get to close as his foot hit the side of her stomach and she gasped her hand trying to grab him her hand gripping his shirt ripping a small piece as she was sent across the field it was close contact… it was a full blown swing… right to the side of her, due to her hand coming up for a hit to the face his kick contacted directly to her right rib cage. Pushing it in breaking it as it punctured her lung slightly. She had been knocked across the field her back hit the floor she tumbled and she slid right to the edge of her crater. She coughed loudly spitting up blood holding her stomach she used her left hand to try and prop her body up. Said arm wavered weak from exhaustion. She fell back onto her stomach the broken rib pushing into her lung more.. she coughed up more blood. She was gasping for air and with each gasp it felt like the air was escaping… she began to slightly hyperventilate as she tried to get up… she didn’t want to lose she didn’t want to give up. She was so close to her dreams… she stood up slowly her legs shaking underneath her as she put her fists up… she began to severely hyperventilate. She could only think of one thing. ‘her dream, her goal.’ ‘I hit him once… I hit him…’ She was proud of her self. Not wanting to give up but her vision around her eyes began to darken as she saw a blurry version of Ded Lee and then the ground. She had slowly fallen to the ground her lung now collecting a small mount of blood in it, as it leaked through her mouth Kaylee was passed out K.O.ed. Still trying till the very last moment to reach her dream.

DivineZiel: -With his kick going through and her grabbing his shirt, ripping a bit of it off, he would only watch her as she went across the arena and merely let his leg go back to the ground. Watching her from the other side of the arena, Ded would only walk towards her and under a minute of him walking towards her, he noticed the whole time that he was walking towards her that she pushed herself up, only to fall back down. He reached her only five seconds as she fell back down as he said towards her if she could even hear him "I expect the next fight to be more...entertaining than this one. Overall, good fight." With his words coming to an end as it looked to everyone around that he stared down to her, he only turned his back to her and walked towards the exit of the arena, still holding the kunai which had the blood on it from when it stabbed him in the ass cheek.-

It was a wonder, was Kaylee going to recover or not? Within the aqualit eyes of Kinshi, she feared not, Kaylee was done and she even told Hitomi Kaylee was not going to be able to recover—Upon the very moment Kaylee’s body graced the ground, Kinshi had already made her movement to react. Standing on the railing’s edge of the stand, she simply leaned forward and leaped upward—Her body was expelled into many cherry blossom petals as she entered her flickering technique. It was almost a bit pitiful when she thought about it, maybe a bit shameful, but she liked to fact Kaylee wanted to get back up and try, she had a mixed set of feelings towards the ideal—Maybe.. Kaylee’s teamleader failed her. In the same instance Kinshi’s body dispelled into petals as she jumped, was almost the same moment her feet graced the  grounds of the dome the two fought in—In great speed, her body barely showed in a flicker as she rushed towards the two, Kaylee and Ded Lee. As a teamleader, she was proud of Ded Lee and possibly as a friend, she felt a bit more happier in him winning than Kaylee.. She wouldn’t understand why, it wasn’t good leadership behavior, but Kaylee did try and that mattered right? Reaching the two within less than a second or two, with less than six feet to go, Kinshi exited her flickering step and simply walked towards the two—As she apppeared, her hands were together as she clapped once for Ded Lee, her lips motioned behind the black scarf she used to hide her nose and mouth, her voice was soft and friendly; also loud for the crowd behind her to hear “Congratulations to Ded Lee for winning!.”. She didn’t make eye contact wtih him, she simply walked over to Kaylee, bending over as her arms reached out to be placed under her body, lifting Kaylee up—Held like a princess in her arms, compared to Kinshi’s strength, Kaylee could’ve easily been tossed over her shoulder and into the stands; Kaylee’s upper back against Kinshi’s left forearm and her back knees against her right forearm. “Good job, Ded Lee” Kinshi said in a whisper, her eyes just looking forwards him for a moment before she disappeared into another cloud of pink petals, flickering in a pace to rush Kaylee to the hospital.
