Brendan... Yes, he remembered him. The boy he met that one night near the clockworks. Hmm... So how would this situation end. Would the boy decide to fight...? Or would it be a pointless conversation...? He would leave it was the conversation thing. He would rather watch Shira fight instead talk with this boy.

He saw the boy fight Kyriu, and if he fought by using air, so if he fought him, it would be a fair match. Since all he had to do was raise his hand and apply gravity to the sword, and it would drop down dead onto the ground. Then it would simply be a hand to hand battle, which he could win if Brendan had no experience fighting without a sword. Hmm... Oh well, he would find out what would happen soon. A conversation? Or the boy would attack him? Who knew?

"I just wanted to see my love's other eye fight..." he replied to Brendan. Of course, he wouldn't get it, since he probably had never met V. Though, to him, it made complete sense. "My name is Shiro. I believe we have met before?"

(Ahh right sorry Shiro my mistake, It's Rex's turn now right?.)

[chinzovsmarth]

Chinzo is out of this.

[Rex]

( I'm really really really really sorry you guys, too much work piling up...and I know thats no excuse...I will fix this really sorry)

Ryu was quite impressed with Shira's performance. As expected she proved to be an excellent opponent. However the two people chattering were starting to become a bother, had he not instructed that man to watch? Very well, If he wasn't interested that was his own doing...but for now a battle was at hand.

He quickly spun around to block another attack from Shira even though she did manage to cut a bit his arm. He backed away so he could get a bit of distance between them, he wanted to see something. And just like that without wasting anymore time Ryu attacked again..but this time with even greater speed. His aim was to find a way to deal with the strange curve of Shira's blade, and when did she master the flash step again?

After slashing from all directions Ryu flipped his blade and struck the curved part of Shira's weapon. Honestly he just wanted to see how strong the steel was. But still aside from the intense thrill of battle he was getting.....how could Kyriu be sleeping through all this?

Brendan raised his eyebrow at the boy whom he now knew as Shiro, he did look familiar but he couldn't remember for a while. It took him a few moments before he recognised who he was.

"Shiro!, yeah I remember now you were the one who helped me fight off the heartless with Luna once." He tapped his head with his hand lightly since he had only just remembered Shiro, he knew that he used a glove to control gravity though it seemed that he no longer had it. Brendan wondered what happend to it he gave Shiro a questioning look.

"What happened to your glove?, it seems pretty reckless to come out in this district without a weapon." He said teasing him, Brendan assumed that he knew how to fight with just his hands. Which may be a problem for Brendan he knew a bit of martial arts and had the agile body to perform advanced acrobatics, but his punches weren't as strong as his katanas he had a thin muscular build making him able to move and strike fast but they weren't always powerful since he was used to using his blades. If Shiro was here for a fight then he would have to use his hands since it would be unfair to fight him with his weapons.

Brendan could hear the sound of metal hitting eachother fast it the fight between Ryu and Shira was heating up, he turned his head slightly and watched Shira sidestep in a flash of light behind Ryu who was able to block the attack, Brendan was impressed with their skills which only made him want to get even stronger, he continued to supervise them carefully as he waited for Shiro's response.

Shira was surprised, as Ryu's blade parried the curve part of her scythe. "What's he thinking?" she thought confused.

She smiled at him, "Whats wrong Ryu?" she asked. "Has the heat gotten to your head already?"

She laughed, and twisting around forced Ryu's blade to go to the side. She then jumped back, so to get some distance between her opponent and her.

She then flash stepped around him, hoping to cause some confusion.

"Ive been waiting for this battle for a long time...." she said, still moving around him. Like how a shark circles it's prey.

"So let's bring it up a notch shall we?"

At the end of her speech, she appeared in front if Ryu. And without holding back swung hibiki at him viciously.

[Rex]

( Darn net timings..they always get in the way.....sorry again guys)

Everything seemed to happen so quickly. Ryu was able to keep up with Shira's speed, yet somehow he wasn't moving as he should. How was this possible? Was he out of practice? Did he tire himself out somehow? No that made no sense...then what excatly was slowing him down? Even his motivation wasn't like normal.

It took only a few seconds for Ryu to regain his posture. Resent events had upset him, but why would he allow that to interfere with his skills? Darn Kyriu...getting in the way. That was what was holding him back.

So Kyriu might get hurt......so what? He would live...and it's not like any of it would kill him anyway.

Shira suddenly appeared in front of Ryu and swung her weapon at him viciously. Holding back wasn't his style..that was Kyriu's....a foolish action.

Ryu quickly raised his blade to block Shira's attack. Remarkably only one arm was required for this. ''' Do not address me so in formally. '' he said then simply jumped back to get some distance from shira.

To show her that he was completely focused now. Ryu held his weapon in both hands and assumed a defensive stance with his eyes directly on his challenger.

Nothing else mattered at the moment...it was weird though he should have been this focused earlier....perhaps more time moving about would fix that.
