Show Me What You Got! {Shun, Open!}

[Ohkara Minamaru]

As Ethan set her down, she let out her own disappointed sigh, shaking her head and raising her hands with confusing, ”I don't even know...” she groaned. Turning back to see the two vanish. Moving a hand to her mouth for an amplifier, she shouted back, ”Thanks a lot guys!” sarcastically, then turned back to her young blue-haired friend.

Looking the boy over she gave him a kind smile, ”Oh well, though...” she said with hungry eyes, giving the boy a teasing wink, ”Just means I have you all to myself, doesn't it?” Giggling cutely, she took a step backwards, and blew him a quick kiss, hoping to fluster him a little, like she normally did.

However, his response didn't really concern her; she was already thinking of a way to make it up to him. He'd wasted his time coming out to meet them, in hopes of a nice sparring match. With Shun having took off the way he did, there was no way he'd get one now... Or was there...

Her face lit up, and she quickly snapped her fingers, pointing her index at him, ”I got it!” she exclaimed, smiling brightly, ”If it's a sparring match you want, how about you show me what you got!” The idea of actually fighting against Ethan was an exciting one for the young woman. She loved their past matches, but they always ended up more on the fun side, than an actual spar. If Ethan accepted such a proposal, she'd draw her umbrella, and toss it aside; the yellow parasol landing tip-first and sticking straight into the soft, sandy beach.

”My only condition is that you take it seriously,” she told him, waving a finger at him, ”We can save the fun stuff for later...” she teased, then added, ”If you know what I mean,” and winked playfully. Hopefully she could get as good a fight out of him as she had Shun.

Poor Rascal's nap was only a five minute nap though for her evil head grew a conscious and told her, "Go rescue the girl who'll be your minion." She nodded to a miniature version of herself that appeared in the corners of her mind and jumped to her feet.

"I must save Noodle Kouhai!" She cried. Her feet slammed on the dirt as she made a mad dash out of her small home and back down her side of the island. It would take her ten minutes to get from where she was back to where Ethan and Ohkara were allowing them at least two brief moments to chat about how they would train. She wouldn't mind though for it was in her best interest to come in, shock the fighters, and potentially rescue her pink noodles friend from the big bad surfer man.

"I'm coming... Great NOODLE MISTRESS!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. She would point at her body as she ran and transform her normal attire with Magical Materialization into a purple bikini figuring that if the guy who captured her was using a beach motif she had to too. Unfortunately, for him, she also raised her power level to two times her own as she ran hoping to come into the battle to come at full force with a punch ready to deck his sorry face. It would be her first move after she struck a few lewd poses to distract him and allowed for her hyper tense body to adjust to the energy now rising within her.

[Ethan Snow]

Ethan chuckled as Ohkara yelled back in the direction of the restaurant, kicking up his board and leaning against it. The afternoon did seem like it was going to be a wash, at least until the young lady turned back to him, taking a moment to look him over, she really liked to do that and he didn't mind at all. She even went so far as to tease him a bit in that funny way, the teen though just chuckled again while leaning against the board, his mind had been more geared towards his impending fight with Shun then Ohkara's flirtations. She seemed to know this too and offered herself as a consolation prize, if he couldn't fight the other boy, then they would have their own match. Ohkara even went on to lay down a ground rule that ensured he would have to take the fight seriously, granted he fully intended to let Shun beat the ever living snot out of him with the other boy had figured out his 'weakness.' Ohkara though wanted something more proper and promised the fun stuff would com later. With that incentive in mind the blue haired teen smiled and nodded, letting go of his board and letting it dematerialize.

"Heh, you're on." he responded and spread his leg and drew up his fists to guard his head while she tossed her weapon aside. While he wasn't going to just lay down and let the young lady smash his guts in, he certainly wasn't going to deny her the pleasure of landing the body blows, she would just have to pay for them this time when he fought back. Fighting back still presented some slight logistical problems though, she was a girl and if his mother taught him anything it was to be proper. While he knew she was tough enough to stand up to him, it wasn't like fighting a boy on his level, he simply couldn't hit her in some places as he would a boy, namely the chest and if things ever got nasty, the nads. Ethan had only had to do that once during a fight with one of his older brothers and even though the result was immediate and ended the older boy's bullying, the shirtless teen felt rotten about it afterwards. Ohkara though had done something similar to him during their first fight and it was now that Ethan wondered if that sensational explosion of pain and pleasure had been what that one brother felt too. Probably not, Ethan wasn't nearly as gentle and Ohkara seemed to have some special knowledge that made the experience very memorable. Now though they were going to do some proper battle and only afterward, regardless of if he came out on tope, would he submit himself to another round of the devilish girl's domination.

"When ever you're ready." he stated with a grin and held his fists up at the ready.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

Letting out a giggle, she nodded to the teen as he took his stance, and cooed back: ”Awwww, such a gentleman. Letting the lady go first.” Narrowing her eyes, she set her sights on him; her leg kicking back hard against the soft sand and sending her flying in his direction. Wasting no time at all, Ohkara rushed forwards her left hand cocked back, and balled into a fist.

As she neared her target her left arm swung wide, feigning a fist towards his head; however as the fist neared its target it would fall short. The punch a misdirection to catch Ethan off his guard and show him she meant business. Continuing to use her own momentum, her body would spin, twisting to aim a very powerful back kick at the teen's side with her right foot. If her kick connected she would continue with the spin, her ability of flight aiding her, and lash out with her other foot aiming it towards Ethan's shoulder.

Now facing the boy, her barrage would finish with her palms aimed at him. Letting out a powerful roar of: "Heeeeeya!" she'd fire a toxic green basic ki blast at his body. Although not especially powerful, the resulting detonation from contact would be enough to push her own body backwards, putting a nice distance between them.

[Ethan Snow]

Still faced with the problem of fighting Ohkara without actually hitting her, Ethan fell back on his martial arts training from his earlier childhood. Before settling on the styles they preferred, Ethan and his siblings were all given rather well rounded lessons in various combat forms, included among them, judo. While his father may have been an egotistical hack, he did still know a thing or two about the martial arts and had imparted a good deal of that knowledge onto his children. Since striking was largely out of the question, Ethan felt the art of tossing his opponent on their backside would suffice for now. Ohkara wasted no time in getting started either, for as no sooner then had the blue haired teen signaled his readiness, she was in motion.

Their speed were quite similar though so the shirtless boy was able to keep up with the young woman's movements and since he'd already put his arms into a defensive posture, the advantage was his, at least as far as he opening salvo went anyway. However no one is infallible and at the speeds they were fighting, sometimes it wasn't possible to judge distances accurately, this was in fact the case as Ethan went to catch Okara's arm. Twisting his right, his intention was to catch her roundhouse punch with his right hand and then grab her bicep with his left and from there shove her to the ground. Unfortunately what he got instead was thin air and then as the missed punch carried her on in a spin, a mighty kick strait into his stomach.

"Uuuuuph!..." the teen gasped as the young lady's kick thudded against his toned midsection. The strike may have been intended for his side, but the boy's move to intercept had inadvertently opened up his favorite spot. As much as he'd like to stand there and revel in the sensation though, especially since it had been such a clean strike and without the benefit of his abs providing defense, he was going to give this fight a proper chance and not fold on the first hit. With his hands still up in what was to be a position to intercept Ohkara's arm, the shirtless teen saw she was still spinning, aiming to bring another kick around with her other leg and that it was this time at the same height as the missed punch. Not missing the opportunity to counter, Ethan repeated his interception, this time though exchanging Ohkara's arm for her leg. If all went well he'd trap her ankle with his right hand, grab a hold of her though with his left and then use the two anchor points to swing her around one hundred and eighty degrees and release, with the intention of throwing the young woman a fair distance down the beach.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

Her first attack had been successful, the feint punch doing its job to open the teen up to her kick. As she continued with her barrage, though she would be surprised to find her next kick met with a set of fingers wrapping around her ankle. Her eyes widened as he grasped her with the other hand, and sent her flying across the sandy beach.

Cursing under her breath, it took the young lady a moment to steady herself, ”Haaah!” she exclaimed, her arms shooting out to her sides, a blast of invisible energy exploding from her palms, stopping her almost instantly. Now facing away from Ethan, a fair distance away, Ohkara touched down to the beach, giving the situation a moment of thought.

Quickly pivoting on her heel, she turned to face the young man once again, ”Not bad, big boy! But you're gonna have to do better than that if you want to win!” she exclaimed, her usual cockiness bubbling forth; however, she could already see that she'd have to do the same.

The sand exploded behind her as she shot forwards, using her ability of flight to keep her feet out of the soft ground. Sure, barreling forwards like an idiot probably wasn't the best option, but at this point there was very little else she could do. Drawing her left hand back, she'd aim a punch at his right cheek, her right arm drawing back at the same time to release a second punch aimed at his chin in an uppercut. The chance was high that he would make an attempt to grapple her once more; hopefully this time she'd be ready for it.

(Pardon the post if it is lackluster; I am working on brushing the rust off. ^^

[Ethan Snow]

Succeeding in launching Ohkara, Ethan watched her as she flew some distance then managed to stabilize herself and then landed facing away from him. Taking his usual defensive posture as she turned about and teased him, the blue haired teen chuckled and replied quickly enough not to break his own rule about not speaking in combat. "Heh, well you wanted me to take it seriously." he replied and watched her carefully. The young lady didn't waste any time getting back into the fight though she didn't do so in the most graceful of ways. Careening strait towards him only gave the shirtless boy all the warning he needed and time to react. Granted he still had the moral imperative nagging him not to hit her, but she was asking for it now, barreling strait in as she was and readying her fists. So it was now that Ethan would utilize more of his extensive martial arts training and counter Ohkara's offense with some of his own.

'One hit. She won't hold it against me if I strike back once.' the boy thought as she closed in at extreme speed. Timing it as best he could and with his arms already in ready positions, Ethan lest a burst of his own energy out through his legs, not enough to form his board, but just enough to lift off and glide backwards, just enough to slow her approach relative to him in the final instant. The sudden change in their relative velocities would surely mean that her first punch would fall short, but just to be certain, Ethan parried her left arm away with his right. Then the second punch was likewise intercepted, the boy tucking his left arm in and twisting to the right. His defensive maneuvers completed, Ethan was now already in position of his counter, on he'd executed with precision many times. With his right arm extending not quite so far as Ohkara's left, his elbow had a clear path of travel. The boy put the breaks on with another short burst of energy from his legs and then reversed the twist of his torso, turning from right to left and with that turn, brought his now extended right elbow across the young lady's face. He made sure to aim high though, not wanting to strike her in the mouth or cheek, angling his arms so that his elbow would instead strike her temple. It still didn't feel right to be striking a woman though, especially with a move Ethan considered to be one of his more brutal maneuvers, but she'd placed herself in the perfect position for it and she'd told him to take the fight seriously. Now she'd know just how dangerous he was when he wanted to be and perhaps she understand just when it meant when he let her beat him up in their first encounter.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

Hopping backwards at the last second, Ethan effectly swatted away Ohkara’s fists. However, this time to her surprise, he would not throw her. Quickly bringing his elbow up, the teen aimed it for the side of her head. Catching her off guard, the young woman would be flung across the sand like a rag doll, her whole body going lip from the hit. It was a strong elbow; and though she’d never directly admit it, he’d gotten the best of her with it.

Helpless, the young lady hit the water and skidded across it like a stone, bouncing a fair ways away from the young man on the beach. Then, more-so like a stone, she went under the water. The sudden jolt from the cold sea was enough to bring her back to her senses. Eye opening wide, the young lady swam upwards and popped her head out to the surface. Taking a deep breath of the sea air, she treaded water and did her best to recuperate.

The first feeling she experienced was when her eyes set on the blue-haired teen on the beach was happiness. For some reason she felt oddly attracted to the young man; however this one a more intense experience than ever before. Ohkara couldn’t help but smile, she was happy to know he was taking her seriously. Sure, he knew she was a capable woman, but he’d never actually fought her at this level- the realization deepening her feelings for him.

However, the butterflies would be short lived, her temper taking hold of her senses. Her smile turned to a smirk as she eyed him. The fact still was that he hit her. Regardless of how she felt towards him now, that strike had bested her, ”Nuh-uh!” she shouted as she rose from the water, shaking off her. Quickly levitating forward, she would remove her now soaked yellow gi, and hurl it at Ethan, aiming for his head.

Hopefully the small moment he would be distracted by it, just long enough for her to power up, surpassing her base state, by using her Inner-Strength; however the sudden quadrupling of her power level would have been a little much, so she would hold it under 60,000 PL. Her speed increasing, she’d rush forwards, once more, although this time she would likely be too fast for him to follow. Faking to his left, she go to his right, and aim a heavy left hook towards his soft-spot. If successful, she would quickly hit him with a second punch, this time a right hook; however this one would be toned down to about 50,000 PL, the sudden spike in power simply a “taste” of what she was truly capable of.

Finishing off her barrage, with all the fluidity of water herself, she lift into the air, rear up her right foot, and with an elegant flip, aim a kick right for his buttocks. Hopefully that would send him flying into the water, and prove her point that she was still the one on top.

(Inner-Strength: 1/2)

[Ethan Snow]

Managing to get his counter off quite effectively, Ethan was surprised to see Ohkara end up getting launch by the elbow to her head, he didn't think he'd put that much power into the blow but he guessed it was possible that he simply did not know his own strength. The maneuver was after all powered from the ground up, first by his well positioned legs, each having firm purchase on the ground, then by his trunk, with muscles that are incredibly powerful when utilized, and then finally by the boy's finally sculpted pectoral muscle, that held his arm firm against the counterforce of the collision between his elbow and Oharak's skull. When one thought about it, yes, it was entirely possible the power blue haired teen sent the young lady careening into the ocean without meaning to, especially given that in spite of their great strengths, neither weighed much more then the average person. It was still surprising to see though and Ethan could help but stop in his tracks, dumbfounded that at what he'd done.

Standing by trying to decide if he should give her a hand out of the water, or more likely manipulate the ocean into washing her ashore, Ethan spotted the green haired lady as she popped her head out of the water and remained there for a moment, staring at him. 'Oh great, she probably hates me now. Great going jerko.' Ethan thought to himself as he watched Ohkara remain in the water for a few moments and then finally levitate out. If launching her into the ocean was surprising before, her reaction was even more so. As his opponent started towards him, she pulled off her yellow top and Ethan was about to avert his gaze when she launched the soaking garment at him.

"What the?! Ack!" The boy yell and rather comically put his arms up and flailed them about trying to fend off the marauding clothing, although all he managed to do was look even more ridiculous when the garment smacked into and wrapped around his face as he waved his arms back and fourth. The distraction was complete and Ohkara had no problem executing her plan, barreling right up on the boy as he grasped at the soggy top and started to pull it off his face. When she launched her first punch, the boy was still blinded by the cloth and so he fist met his stomach with no resistance, the sculpted muscles were not tensed any more then what was requited to keep him standing up strait and so the young lady's hand plowed easily into the teen's warm flesh.

"Uuuuuuaaaaa!..." Ethan bellowed as his body shuddered and started to fold over from the titanic punch. The top went flying to the sand some distance away as the boy's body jolted from the impact and then a second one smashed into him with barely an instant between. "Aaaaghhhh..." Already having had the air blasted out of him by the first punch, Ethan just gagged loudly from the second and continued to double over, his left hand folding into his stomach to try and relieve the pain as his right extended out to catch himself as he collapsed to his knees. The boy's discomfort was obvious to anyone watching him suffer it on the outside, but inside, Ethan was actually only half suffering and the other half was reveling in the sensation. Ohkara knew how to control him so well and knew where to hit him to turn him into putty and that's exactly what she'd done. She curiously though did not take advantage to keep him that way, instead the boy was kicked in the rear by the young lady and launched bodily into the same sea he'd sent her moment earlier.

Landing with a big splash, as Ethan did little if anything to coordinate his limbs as he fell into the water, the boy sank like a stone. Having been breathless already, Ohkara had inadvertently done something very dangerous in putting Ethan in the water. The urge to inhale was frighteningly powerful, so much so that the boy clasped both hands over his mouth and nose to keep from filling his lungs with salt water. 'Holy crap, she hit me so hard... I can't swim with my guts like this...' the teen panicked in his mind for a moment, but quickly realized that he was in his own element here. If he could stave off the urge to breath for just a few moments more and focus he'd be all right. Clenching his eyes shut and trying to relax in the cool ocean, Ethan directed the influence he had over the water around him and tried to do something he'd only ever thought about. It might have been easier for him to simply direct the water to launch him back out in a large surge, but then sparring match was about pushing one's self and he felt that even if he failed in this attempt, there will still be enough time to do so. So with his mind for the moment focused, the blue haired teen turned his energy towards literally ripping the water around him apart, splitting the liquid into it's component parts, hydrogen and oxygen.

It was an interesting undertaking as the teen had little time to figure out exactly how to do it, but then again when it came to the manipulation of water, Ethan was gifted. He could do many things with the substance without really understanding how he did it, unlike with regular Ki manipulation which he had to study and practice extensively to master, and even then his ability to fly was still dependent on an energy construct. With water though he found that could simply will it to do something and at the same time direct his energies there and it would obey him as if a loyal pet. With this new venture it was the same, although the teen didn't realize that yet. He spent several precious seconds on the bottom, scrambling to think of how to split the water rather then just telling it what he wanted it to do. 'Oh god this is hopeless, I'm going to drown down here if I don't get out now... God damn it! Give me something to breath!' Yelling out in his mind, Ethan felt the urge to breath forcing his chest to pump and he found he could no longer hold onto his face. A few bubbles of precious, already stale air escaped his lips and then a few more. Starting to writhe and straddle to keep his mouth covered, the teen's desperate call for air and expulsion of energy into the surrounding water was finally having an effect. There were bubbles all around him now, many many more then there should be, as if he were suddenly in a Jacuzzi with the jets turned on. Feeling the bubbles rushing by on his skin, Ethan opened his eyes and saw that he indeed was in a field of bubbles, roughly four feet across in a circle. Looking up he realized that if these were indeed bubbles of air he commanded from the water it's self, then he'd need to trap them and quickly.

His gaze turned upwards, towards the surface that was perhaps twenty feet away but all but unreachable by now, Ethan strained his focus to the limit and commanded the water above him to plasticize, forming an invisible barrier that the rising bubbles could not penetrate. In moments the invisible pocket started to fill with the gas in a rough umbrella shape, the water inside the pocket being forced out by the congregating gasses and uncovering Ethan's head. Finally letting go of his face, the boy took in desperate gasps of the atmosphere, filling his lungs with much needed oxygen. The air was richer then normal, though only by a small fraction, being composed of fully one third oxygen instead of the normal twenty one percent. As he floated in the bubble, breathing in his crafted air, it downed on the teen that what he was breath was in fact highly farmable, as unlike normal air which was mostly inert nitrogen, this air was composed mostly of hydrogen. Still dangerous air was better then now air, and it was at that moment Ethan realized something else. He could effectively breath under water. "Heh... Bet Ohkara's going to call me fish boy or something when she finds out about this." Ethan stated aloud as he treaded water in the dome of under water air. Having already been down for an exceedingly long time, Ethan reasoned that she might by now be getting worried about him, he knew he'd have been on the water already and further reasoned that now would be as good a time as any to show her his newest stunt, so remained right were he was and waited to be found.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

Her plan proved successful, and as the boy hit the water, she beamed satisfied with the results. Crossing her arms, she waited for the boy to resurface, time slowly dragging by as she waited patiently. It was after almost a full minute that the seriousness of what had just happened sunk in. Her face went from cocky to blank, ”Oh god…” she exclaimed, ”What if he's drowned!?” her eyes snapped back to the sea, where the boy had hit the water.

Using the full extent of her Inner strength, the darted over, stopping directly above the area Ethan was most likely at. Peering down into the water for any signs of him, she frantically cursed, ”shit, oh shit, oh shit!” The idea that she just possibly killed her crush was one that was all too much, ”I’ll kill you if you’re dead!” she roared.

Suddenly she pointed her toes held her breath, and dropped into the water like a stone, hell-bent on finding the young surfer boy. It wouldn’t take long either, as he would be resting in a huge bubble. Her eyes widened, then narrowed; a burst of air expelling from her mouth in a foul, underwater curse. Of course, she was glad that Ethan seemed okay; but there was the fact that he’d made her worry- and that was something she just couldn’t stand. It didn’t take long at all for the young woman to see what was going on. Ethan was using his water manipulation to create breathable air- there was no denying that this man was indeed smart.

Bolting forward she readied a kick, ”I’ll teach you to make me worry!” she exclaimed, her voice somehow audible even in the water. With her increased speed she would be upon him in no time, her finger drawn back- intent on doing only one thing: popping that bubble. With a mighty thrust of her finger as she neared it, she prepared herself to do exactly that- readying an upwards kick in hopes to send Ethan rocketing out of the water if successful. Of course, that would be the end of her power boost from Inner-Strength for a little while too.

(Inner-Strength: 2/2)

[Ethan Snow]

Still treading water within the umbrella shaped pocket or hydrogen rich air under the sea, Ethan only had to wait a few more moments for Ohkara to show up. Unfortunately her reaction to his being fine and having developed such a unique technique, was not exactly what he would have hoped for. She descended to the ocean floor and spotted him within seconds and from there paused, letting out a burst of bubbles in surprise. From that point though her demeanor changed suddenly for the nasty. She moved through the water towards him with surprising speed and the blue haired boy could swear he heard her voice echoing through the medium.

Raising a surprised eyebrow, Ethan tried to waver her off as she came barreling in but it did no good. Ohkara can rocketing in, finger first, leaving behind a trail of cavitation bubbles. The young lady’s pointed finger pierced the hemisphere with ease, but the desired effect of popping the bubble did not occur since the construct was not actually a bubble in the strictest sense. That made no difference though as the young lady remained in motion and continued to barrel forward, pulling back her arm and thrusting out her leg, ramming her heel rather brutally deep into the shirtless boy’s midsection.

“Ohcrapohcrapohcrap… Ooooophhhh!!!...” In an instant the teen was propelled backwards and up, right out of the hemisphere. A moment after, the shirtless boy’s body broke the surface, his middle still folded over from the force of the impact, arms and legs trailing behind as he sailed up, reached the top of the arc and then plummeted back into the water. Without his continued concentration to maintain the underwater pocket of air, the plasticized membrane holding the gas together started to dissolve and release the collected oxygen and hydrogen in a stream of fine bubbles. Meanwhile on the surface, Ethan, who had had a few moments to recover from the previous crushing blow to his stomach, was once again, wrapping his arms around himself, hugging his middle as it ached with strength sapping throbbing. ‘Damn she’s good…’ the teen thought to himself as he sank once again into the water.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

Ohkara would break the surface of the water herself only a few moments after Ethan, her head of forest-green hair looking much like seaweed as she bobbed up and down in the sea water. Carefully treading water she watched the blue-haired boy rise and fall back into the water, only to reemerge afterwards. Letting out a huff the woman sucked up her own embarrassment of how she thought she looked in the water, Ohkara quickly swam over to him.

”You dumb jerk!” she shouted, splashing angrily at him with a fast hand, there was no denying the emotion in her eyes- of course the water and running eyeliner made her appear much more emotional, ”When you didn’t come back up, I thought-“ suddenly she stopped and shook her head, then wiped her eyes with her forearm, ”Never mind… It doesn’t matter…” she huffed, then quickly spun to face away from him, ”I am sorry; I may have overdone it a little bit…” she sighed guilty.

With a sudden change of tone she’d teasingly add, ”But I thought you could take it…” letting out a dramatic sigh, she playfully added, eyeing him disappointingly over her shoulder: ”Guess I was wrong…” Of course it was all an act, and she wasn’t trying to hid it, Ohkara was simply trying to see what kind of buttons she could press on the boy. The whole point of having this match was to learn even more about the blue-haired surfer-boy anyways.

[Ethan Snow]

Taking a few moments to absorb the aching in his middle and perhaps enjoy it a little more then he should, Ethan suspended his descent into the water, plasticizing it much like he'd done with the air bubble a few minutes earlier. Re-surfacing and taking some much needed breaths of air that wasn't highly flammable, the teen purged his lungs of the hydrogen gas and laid flat in the gently rolling sea while Ohkara swam closer to him. She almost immediately started to scold him but as he tilted his head up and out of the water to watch, the experience was more comical then not.

"Me a jerk? You tried to knock me out and throw me in the water. What did you think would happen?!" Ethan shouted back, though it was fairly obvious he was holding back a laugh. Ohkara didn't stop though and changed gears a bit to insinuate that he couldn't stand up to a pounding from her. Laying floating in the water as he watched with a bemused smirk on his face, the boy did not miss the change in the young woman's tone and the true meaning behind that last verbal jab.

"Ho ho ho, so you don't think I can take it eh?" the shirtless teen replied still smirking. "I though you wanted a fight. But if you want to see me take a pasting then you should have just come out and said it. How about we get back on the beach and I show you just what I Can take." Ethan continued and stopped idly floating, righting himself and starting towards the shore in a well practiced breaststroke.

[Ohkara Minamaru]

”Hah!” she huffed back at him as he began to swim away, ”What I wanted was a fight!” she jabbed as she continued to float in place for a few more moments, ”But it seems soooomeone would much rather play punching-bag!” letting out a frustrated huff the young lady rose from the water and gave her green head of hair a fitting shake as she levitated above the water. Her tube-top and pants were soaked, her makeup was still running (the massive amount of eyeliner she used seemed to like to run much more than wipe away), and her hair was droopy and flat. However, with all that said, Ohkara was having a blast- she’d have just a little more fun with him before she took her leave.

”Fine then!” she exclaimed, quickly rushing through the air to near him, ”If that’s what you want, then how about we play a game?” She smirked mischievously as she soared low, beside the swimming boy, ”And from how confident you sound, why not place a wager on it too?” The question was would Ethan take the bait or not? She had a pretty good idea of a nice wager to make to.

”The game is hit-for-hit,” she told him, ”Simple enough, I’ll give you a nice little love tap to the tummy, for every one you give to me…” She cocked her head as they would finally near the shore, ”And I want to feel what you can really do, so don’t hold back. Aaaaannnnddd, if you can out last me, without falling to the ground, then you win,” she explained, her expression turning to one of excitement. Feet touching down against the soft sand, the young woman playfully bounced with enthusiasm, then suddenly she placed a right hand to her hip and pointed an index finger into the air with her left, ”What you get if you win would be up to you, but if- no when I win I want you to take me on a date! I want entertainment, fun, food, and then maybe something romantic!” winking cutely at the blue-haired boy she laughed and added, ”You can pick when, where, and what, if you want, though!"


Dropping her left hand, she extended it in an offer to shake with the young teen, "Of course, if you say no, then what motivation do I possibly have to give you a pasting, hmmm?" eyeing him curiously, she let out a little giggle and asked: "So, how about it? We got a deal?"

[Ethan Snow]

On his way back to the beach, Ethan remained in the water swimming under purely muscle power, Ohkara on the other hand levitated out of the sea and floated along above the boy while they both headed towards land. As they headed back and Ethan thought he had picked up one what Ohkara really wanted, she countered by reiterating that she wanted a fight, which was starting to get a little confusing. However since he was swimming and couldn't really respond without stopping, Okara was free to go on and so she did, proposing a compromise that instantly started to excite the boy's unruly body.

'Punch on punch? She can't be serious' the boy thought to himself. 'Strait up like that I'd flatten her... sure she's strong, but come on, I actually like getting... That's it! Hoe hoe, Ethan your figured it out, she wants you all steamy and distracted. But how the heck am I going to keep a handle on it? Just thinking about this is... Errrr... Damn it...' Letting out a gurgle of bubbles while his face was changing sides under the water, the teen cursed his body for getting stimulated just by hearing what Ohkara was suggesting and then his own thinking about it. Worse still, the shore was just a few more strokes away and the young lady was already touching down ahead of him. And what about this date she was so confident he'd have to take her on. She was so sure she could beat him it just made the tightness in his swimming trucks even worse.

When Ethan did reach the shore and stood in the rolling surf, his face was an ambivalent mixture of emotions, on one side trying to look as confident as he could that he would win out, but on the other side his cheeks were bright red with embarrassment about the very obvious physiological manifestation of his raging hormones. Still, he had to try and ignore it, no mater how ridiculous he felt. "So you want to go punch for punch?" the shirtless boy confirmed as he strode out of the water and took up position a few feet away, his body language also a mixture of confident and embarrassed. He made moves to put his hands on his hips and try to look tough, but his arms didn't quite make it.

"Well I don't know what I'll ask you for When I win, little short notice, but I'll think of something." the blue haired teen continued, sounding just a little more self assured, but not by much. "Hope you know what you're getting into. I can take it pretty hard when I'm ready for it." Ethan aged and then looked to Ohkara's outstretched hand. 'Oh lord that's got to be a trap, that's just how she works, shake your hand with one and smash you with the other... Oh what the heck, fall for it dumb ass, if it is a trap you can always say she cheated... nah...' Ethan paused for a moment while he thought to himself and then stepped closer, extending his own hand to shake hers.
