[ a note is pinned to a wall inside each apartment with a kunai. was your door locked? window sealed? it doesn't matter because somehow these got in there anyway, and scrawled on the notes is the following identical message. it's intentionally obvious who it's from ]

YOU'LL PAY.

[ GYM FILTER ]

[ a certain teenage girl boy is in a very foul mood, which means she's going to take it out on inanimate objects in the gym. currently a punching bag is filling this quota very well! feel free to bother or...avoid. for a kid, akira is looking pretty lethal and pissed ]

[ is just doing standard punches and kicks, nothing fancy. what she is doing has obviously been fine tuned, though, and despite her size she's really making the bag move, having to pause occasionally to still it ]

[heirdom]

[Damian watches. He can figure it out, just watching, and he moves closer, wordlessly, before lashing out with one leg, to sweep Akira off his feet.

It's a risk, but he'll take it.]

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

[ reacts without even thinking, easily jumping up over the kick and swinging to aim a midair roundhouse right for his face out of defense. if she hadn't been so distracted, she might have remembered to LET him knock her over, oops ]

[heirdom]

[Success! Damian smirks to himself, dropping to the ground to duck. His fingers hit the floor for a moment before he springs up again, swinging a punch as a follow-up.]

Ha!

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

[ barely has the chance to duck when her feet touch the floor, leaning backwards to avoid, resulting in a smooth flip as she lands in a crouch a few meters away. GLARING. it's clear from his body language that he knows how to fight, but that doesn't make her any less pissed ]

Do you make a habit of attacking innocent bystanders out of the blue?

[heirdom]

[he keeps a ready stance, though he smirks]

I just wanted to make a point; you're transparent. Those excuses don't work on everyone.

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

Most people aren't looking for a fight. Why does it matter to you?

[heirdom]

It doesn't.

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

Oh really.

[heirdom]

[he rolls his eyes]

Deal with it.

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

[ wow so mature damian ]

How about I just ignore it.

[ turns to go back to what she was doing ]

[heirdom]

[narrowed eyes, and he moves to the floor mats.]

How about you spar with me?

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

[ punch ]

No.

[ punch ]

[heirdom]

Why not?

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

[ calmly, not really speaking with malice or anything - just matter-of-factly ]

You're too immature. Just because I know how to fight doesn't mean I like violence.

[heirdom]

[frown]

So? Sparring doesn't mean it has to be violent.

[... too violent, anyway.]

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

[ stops and looks over at him. she'll give him points for not losing his temper over being called immature. this is a little unorthodox, though...she's only ever fought other shinobi and, well, giant biomechanical monsters. with a sigh, she'll step onto the mat, bracing herself and watching him carefully ]

All right.

[heirdom]

[giant smirk. Fuck yeahhhhh.

And then he rushes Akira, goin' in swingin'.]

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

[ isn't about to reveal her true abilities to some cocky kid, so she's simply going to concentrate on evasion, which she seems to do flawlessly. she's kind of surprised she has to actually put EFFORT into it, though... he's nothing like the boys she horsed around with in the school gym. silently sizing him up, she circles back around to the other side ]

[heirdom]

[He moves after her, again; he's surprised that the teenager can keep up, but at the same time, he's oddly pleased to have found a good opponent.]

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

[ so how's that lifetime of being trained by ninja and assassins going? good for you too, bb? ]

You're reckless.

[ said blandly after she spins to sidestep another one, but she's keeping a very close eye on his reaction, looking for the slightest opening to strike ]

[heirdom]

Am not.

[Is so ten. He moves again, sweeping low]

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

[ uses the lack of balance that naturally comes with that sort move to her advantage, hopping over him and swinging to aim a kick right for his gut when he tries to straighten back up. if it lands it SHOULD knock him on his ass ]

[heirdom]

[And down he goes with an "oof!" He turns, immediately, to try to get on his hands and get back on his feet]

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

[ moves like lightning, so he doesn't get much of a chance once he's already off his kilter like that, flinging a few shuriken to pin both his arms to the mat by his sleeves ]
