Battle of the Fittest [open]

[ame]

Ame sat up high upon a tree branch enjoying the breeze and the light sounds of huffing and puffing from below; the faint scent of sweat and blood rolling around her nostrils. Ame leaned to one side to get a good view of her little trainee as he battered his arms and legs against a wooden makeshift body. "You aren't kicking hard enough Kutani, how the hell do you expect to protect me, let alone yourself, if you don't have enough strength nor energy to take down a foe?"

Kutani, the little dot within the dark forest had grunted in dismay as he continued to work muscle after muscle to exhaustion. Ame watched as he rigorously did so and then decided he needed a break, after all the brat was only human---and her freakin' master bound by the blood word of his great ancestor that she now has to up hold and honor. Though lucky enough for her she hadn't told the little squirt all the juicy details about how strong his words could impact her by command.

Black hair fell in a swoosh as she came to a crashing halt, feet smashing into the grassy floor as she coiled and then rolled to the side, then standing up and leaned most of her body weight against the makeshift wooden body, now visibly covered in Kutani's blood. Ame eyed the wooden corpse and then ran her index finger over a sliver covered in blood then rubbed her thumb against her now blood stained index finger and eyed Kutani. "Take a break . . . Before you kill yourself through blood loss." For a minute he hadn't responded to Ame that is until she kicked him square in the chest, knocking him five feet away and breathless.

"Take a break before I make you." Ame's glower become anger as the brat laid there and then slowly sat up before suddenly standing. He was breathing heavily and by the sounds of his heart Ame had completely flip flopped it around, the tempo was off and his breathing sounded wheezy. Making Ame want to shake the living hell out of him before he realized she'd end up killing him through all the anger she had pent up at this point.

Kutani had turned and left into the darkness of the forest, Ame had assumed he was heading to the small sheltered home Ame had set up earlier for them to stay while there was no rain at the moment she could smell the threat of on coming rain. Which would cause troubles for Ame seeing as it's ten times harder to smell other youkai in the area who are willing to slice off mortal heads without any feeling of mercy or guilt.

Ame stared at the menacing sky and then back to the path Kutani had chosen to take back home, "That brat will be the death of me I swear." She breathed lightly as she started climbing back up a tree to get a clearer look of the sky and the moon before both turned into an ugly nightmare. "Hm...I wonder if there will be anything interesting to snack on tonight."
