1x1: Naruto AU RP: AiraSkylar x kitten;

Kiro;
Kiro smirked, seeing that her kick had hit with full force, and she backed off for a moment, to regain he breath. Thankfully that seemed to have shaken him; he looked about just as bad as she felt. Blood was seeping from her wounds now, and Kiro had to grit her teeth to stop herself from tearing out the kunai embedded in her body. It would only make the bleeding worse and then she would probably pass out before she had won. It was a very, very slim possibility, but perhaps they could tie. Then they both could be happy? Perhaps.
She was so lost in her own thoughts that she barely noticed when Aki started hurtling sharp objects at her. She barely dodged the first one but was hit by a few particularly sharp shuriken. Muttering something foul, Kiro was silent as she kept on dodging, her focus honed on the weapons before her. She would have to find an opening before she could go in and attack him, and then perhaps she would be able to knock him off balance, and finish this battle...she was going to need a hospital either way, though. In an instant, Kiro saw an opening and leaped aside from the weapons, ignoring the few that embedded in her other arm, and went towards the boy, aiming her strongest kick yet at his head, blocking out the pain screaming from every pore in her body.

{the rest of} Team Eleven;
Noru glanced around the balcony, and saw that Clone was nowhere to be found; perhaps she couldn't take the pressure of not knowing what was happening and she didn't want to hear it from him a few minutes after it happened. She was exceedingly protective of her teammates, he had learned that she had a stranglehold on anything close to her, and wouldn't let go unless she wanted to, which was most likely never. It would be hard for her to go through this, he realized. Sighing and turning his eyes back towards the battle, he saw that it was ending soon. Kiro looked dead on her feet, as well did her opponent.

Kyo narrowed his gaze at the girl next to him for a moment, wondering why she was bothering to use a Genjutsu when it would just eat up more of her Chakra. He supposed that she was one of the Genin that would want to keep their abilities a secret from the others, although there didn't appear to be many people that cared. Looking at the battle, he saw that Akihiko or whatever his name was was throwing some very dangerous-looking shuriken at Kiro, and both of them appeared a lot worse for the wear. Perhaps it would end in a tie, he mused. They seemed to be pretty evenly matched, even with the few disadvantages they had, but he couldn't exactly see either of them winning.

{{Should Kaito and Noru go up next? c:}}

[Aireiya]

((Aaaah, it's gonna take me a while to reply to this. XD My Naruto muse has gone somewhere and I have no idea when she's coming back. XD Gimme a few days. I'll definitely reply. :3))

[kitten;]

{{ Alright<3 I can't wait! :3 }}

[Aireiya]

((Sorry! >.> Muse finally decided to come back after me reading every single Naruto manga chapter.))

.:αкιнιкσ:.
His eyes widened as he spotted the foot that was making a beeline towards his head. Thinking quickly, he managed to grab the foot to prevent it from actually hitting him, but the force which she put behind the kick made him lose his balance and fly across the arena, slamming into the wall. He groaned as he tried to stand back up. He wasn't going to give up - not yet. However, his body decided otherwise and shut down against his will.

.:тєαм αкαι:.
"Akihiko!" Aira screamed as she watched her comrade fall. Her eyes followed his movement across the arena, even flinching when he hit the wall. A crack formed on the wall, and it wasn't small either. That must've been one heck of a kick. Ignoring Kaito and even their sensei, she jumped and ran down to the railing, her eyes still trained on the form of her friend.
Kaito immediately followed the girl, he was just going to make sure that she didn't jump the railing, since that would cause more disorder. "Aira, don't you dare jump. He'll be alright, don't worry," he said as he gathered the girl in his arms and shushed her cries.
'Call it off. Please, call it off already. He's injured enough as it is,' Ai prayed, her eyes closed.

мєαηωнιℓє..
"Orochimaru-sama, it is ready."

[kitten;]

Kiro;
Kiro would have run after her opponent, make sure he was actually out before claiming her place as winner but as soon as she saw him crumple to the ground, she did the same, clutching the cut on her arm as she tried to stay conscious, breathing deeply so she could win the fight - she had to. Kiro just had to; she would never forgive herself for something like this. Sure, she had lost more than enough blood and she was mentally and physically exhausted but she would just have to stay awake, no matter the cost...
Although her willpower was strong, Kiro's body had other ideas as it shut down for repairs. The genin collapsed to the dusty ground, unconscious.

{the rest of} Team Eleven;
Noru could only watch in stunned, horrified silence as he watched his comrade fall to the ground, almost exactly as her opponent did. He turned toward his sensei, finding his voice suddenly and yelling, "Kyo-sensei!" Finding that he wouldn't need anything else to get his sensei to come over here right now and see that his student was unconscious, bleeding and hopefully not dead already.
Kyo rushed over to the balcony, elbowing past some disgruntled students. looking at the scene he saw exactly what he supposed that made sense - they both had worked themselves to unconsciousness, if not death. Hopefully the medic-nin would be quick enough; the two genin looked like they were dead and although he could see their sides rising faintly, he wouldn't be surprised if one of them died from blood loss alone, but Kiro - she had so much ahead of hear. Kiro bit his lip, silent, and watched with apprehension as the scene unfolded in front of him. It looked like they were going to call it a tie - the winner had to be at least conscious by the end of the battle, and it was clear that neither of them were - so what was the holdup?


{{ It's perfectly alright <3
I'm so excited to get this started again! ^-^ }}

[Aireiya]

.:тєαм αкαι:.
Kaito wanted to yell at Genma when the Jonin finally decided to show up. Shaking Aira's shoulders, he pointed at the proctor.
"The match between Kiro Musa and Akihiko Sakurai has ended. It is a draw!" he announced as two medic teams were deployed onto the field.
Satisfied that the battle was finally over, Kaito allowed Aira to go down and follow the team that was wheeling their teammate away. A simultaneous gasp from the crowd caused him to look up at the board. The names were shuffling, shuffling until they finally landed on two names which were not familiar to him. Thanking the gods that it wasn't his turn yet, he jumped down into the arena and followed Aira.
Meanwhile, Aira was clutching Akihiko's hand for dear life. "Please be okay, please be okay," she mumbled aloud, running alongside the stretcher. The medic at the head smiled at her. "Your teammate will be alright. He isn't too injured - he just collapsed due to overexertion," the medic told her, assuring her. The violet-eyed girl smiled at her. "Okay," she replied simply before Kaito materialized at her side.
They arrived at the infirmary a few seconds later and the two uninjured genin of Team Akai stood silently to the side as one of the medics finished checking up Akihiko. "He'll be alright," the medic said as he got up and left them alone with their teammate, but not before telling them that the next match was about to begin, and that they should head up back to the stands soon.
Kaito nodded an affirmation before looking at his other male teammate. "We should go, Ai," he said, before grasping the girl's arm and leading her out.
Aira followed him silently and remained silent as they took their places next to Yuki-sensei. "Is Akihiko alright?" the older ninja said.
"He's fine," came the quiet reply from the younger girl.

((I wanted to give them a little break after Akihiko's battle. XD))
((Who's gonna win in the next battle? Noru Sai is his opponent, right? ^.^))

[kitten;]

Team Eleven;
Noru relaxed slightly when he saw the proctor arrive. Genma glanced at the two genin and then declared the match a draw; well, at least Kiro hadn't lost. Noru knew full well that she was harder on herself than anybody else, simply because she hates to use Chakra up for anything other than Taijutsu. The medic squads came rushing onto the battle area, and Noru couldn't help but make hand symbols enough to get himself down there. He gulped, seeing that Kiro didn't look nearly as well as she did when he had been standing on the balcony - right now, she looked like a corpse. After a moment he felt Kyo come up next to him, and Noru would have burst into tears if the medic-nin attending to Kiro had gleefully announced to the two that she was, at the very least, alive. Noru was about to follow the team to the hospital, but Kyo stopped him.

"Your match is up soon," he stated quietly. "I know you want to make sure she's okay but I trust the medics. Let's get back up to the balcony."

Noru remained silent but grudgingly made his way back up the steps towards the balcony, taking one last look at his teammate before she disappeared into the depths of the arena. He eventually settled and was at the same point at the edge, leaning against the rail. There was almost no pause as the board began shuffling names again, deciding which match would be up next. The tied match seemed to have upset the crowd, and as a result there was a lot of murmuring, but they quieted down as soon as two names appeared on the screen.

He was up next.

{{ Hmm, well after looking over the forms again, I guess it'll just have to depend whether it's a close-range or a long-range battle. c: And hopefully they don't need the rest? xD I'm evil, hehe. }}

[Aireiya]

((Kaito's short-range, and Noru's long range.. Why does this sound like the previous battle? XD oh yeah, noticed that In your form, you put Noru in team Twelve. :> Just decided to point that out. ^.^ oh yeah, and I placed a random match between Kaito's and Noru's, and Aki's and Kiro's. Coz I didn't really see any relay of that in your previous post.))

.:тєαм αкαι:.
Kaito's eyes widened as soon as he saw his name on the screen. 'That was fast,' he remarked to himself before looking at Aira. "Cheer for me, ne?" he told her, grinning to show that he wasn't going to give up so easily.
The violet-eyed genin smiled at him. "I will," she replied, somewhat shakily, but hugged him before sending him down to the rail. "Good luck," she added, handing him a copy of the kunai she gave Akihiko.
The orange-haired genin grinned even wider before jumping into the arena. Before he took his stance, he looked at Aira straight-on and gave her a thumbs-up. Taking his usual stance, Kaito's eyes nearly bugged out when he saw his opponent. "You're the guy that was standing next to Kyo-sensei," he observed.

[kitten;]

{{ Agh, I'm so sorry! ;A; I know I completely read and interpreted your last post incorrectly, but I just don't have any time to post due to my insanely busy life; I'll post soon enough, hopefully <3 }}

[Aireiya]

((No worries. ^.^ Take all the time you need. I'll be waiting here then. ^.^))
