She got a bit saddened as it seemed that Yoshidoku had taken some of her words too much at heart. While he ran out of the room, she glanced at Alekz, wondering what his response would be. Perhaps I did more damage than good, but well. She sighed softly. "I hope he will forgive me, I sometimes seem to get a bit carried away." It wouldn't do much good to dwell on the subject, she just felt a bit bad for making the boy cry. When she had been young her grandfather had taught her straight away not to waste her tears on something that was already gone and couldn't be reached. She was taught to only look to the future and not linger over that which couldn't be changed.

They walked onto the field, it was as if the wind stilled in a slightly dramatic way but of course that was just her imagination. Ariana was a bit nervous, she had never really done good at this part of the whole ninja-ness. People said she was probably only good as a medical ninja, and it stung a bit truth be told. She guessed people didn't know she had been practising a little something something for a good use. "Hmh ladies first huh? You just wanna see my super special moves before revealing your own." She smiled back, before taking a stance and drawing in a deep breath. They were pretty close still, Alekz not having moved too far from her. Maybe he expected something of a Taijutsu attack? Ariana guessed that perhaps there wasn't much to expect from her fragile looks, but she was going to try out something. Too bad she was going to damage the scenery a bit while at it. Channeling up the needed Chakra into her fists until they started glowing a bright blue color, she let out a small yell before jumping a bit forward and punched down at the ground. Now thanks to her excellent Chakra control along with lots of practise, she was able to channel the Chakra without much effort and the strength reached that of a C rank technique.

As her fist struck the ground not far from Alekz's feet it immediately cracked, leaving a rather big crater which would probably make Alekz feel forced to jump backwards or he would have lost his footing. Ariana used that opportunity to jump backwards herself, moving a couple of meters away from her sparring partner before bracing herself to be able to use this opportunity for a long range spar.

Spoiler:

As Alekzaunder stood infront of the young woman, he had already been calculating the fight in his mind. He was of a very talented and yet genius ninja. His IQ always added up to 210 and never seemed to fail about his estimations of the battle he was in. Ariana was in for something very unexpected of him. Even if he was a female, Alekzaunder gave no mercy until he felt the battle was either finished by her winning or himself.

Watching her every move intently, he took various mental notes about the way she would even come off a foot and circulate chakra. He could feel the chakra being built up, smirking at her. Alekz always needed to intimidate his opponents before the battle, just to give them a bit of his cold side. It was to his surprise that the fist she threw was not at him - but towards the ground. He's been in very few fights with those who use chakra as a weapon with their fists, and this was something Alekz had to look out for in this battle.

Quickly, he sprung to the side, the cracks just almost tripping his foot in the action. Very swiftly, during this jump, he had made one hand sign, and placed his hands together, as sparks connected from one hand to the other, forming electricity in the form of a ball. Once he landed, he stood about five meters from her. Small, narrow, lightning serpents projected from the ball of electricity all at once, about four of them total. They were very swift and agile toward her, seemingly 'lightning fast.' One headed for her legs and heels, two headed at her torso, and the last at her head. If she didnt act now, she would be stuck and burned by these serpents.
Alekzaunder moved his feet swiftly to an angle, ready to dodge any incoming attacks as his small serpents were at work.

Spoiler:

Just as she had landed, Ariana noticed the lightning Jutsu coming her way. Alekz was most certainly a formidable match, and appeared to have a very handy element to attack her with. Without any hesitation, her fists went to the ground, using the same strength as before but now adding the extra punch to it. The ground came flying upwards in both small and big chunks who rose up in front of Ariana and acted as a shield of raining mud and earth materials. The lightning serpents which were gradually closing in on Ariana were now met by the said earth materials, being slowed down at least. As she knew that lightning was stronger than earth, she sped away from the spot she stood at these few seconds in which the lightning serpents would at least be slowed down, just in case if any of the serpents had managed to escape past the ground material which had been acting as the shield.

Just as soon as Ariana was on the move, she did not give herself time to stop, but she was already done taking out of her pouch at her hip 4 shuriken, that movement of hers supposedly blocked from the flying earth materials. Just as soon as she was done doing that, she was making handsigns before she came to a stop just a bit away from where she had stood before. Careful to not be close to any spot that had a loose ground which could make her loose her footing. "Housenka no Jutsu" Not letting even a second pass, she muttered the name of the Jutsu under her breath so he wouldn't hear it, before throwing the shuriken (who were now covered in the balls of flames) towards him. Making it appear that all she had done was emit these small fire balls.

Spoiler:

Alekzaunder had thought he had the upper hand in this battle, but he was surely wrong. The serpents had almost reached the young woman, until, what appeared to be, rocks bursting from the crack from before, countering his serpents and causing them to burst into electricity, then die off. 'Damnit..' Alekz thought, as his positioned foot then slid off to the side, forcing him to quickly move out of the direction of the rocks. From the rocks that were infront of him, he saw small, but not much hand movement from her. He assumed she had another nifty trick up her sleeve, and maybe this one was an attack.

Jumping back, the rocks fell and the perimeter was clear. But the area? The dust faded and to his eyes, he had seen a shape of her what seemed to be a jutsu coming at him. He had already been prepared, his hands sparking from the last jutsu. To his surprise, flame engulfed shuriken were flying at him, as he had seen this jutsu used many times upon him, and even he had the same one, being a Katon user. One by one, Alekzaunder jabbed the flaming shuriken with two fingers, deflecting them to the side, with almost precise accuracy. His fingers, although, were a bit scorched from the flames. The negative spark coming off his fingers was charged from his vents, allowing the negative spark to touch the metal of the shuriken, thus deflecting them.

Turning the tables on her now, he smirked and quickly began to sprint from one side of her, to the other, seemingly 'disappearing' yet he was getting closer each time. During these quick movements of appearing and vanishing, lightning was once again being formed in his hands. Appearing infront of her, he jerked his wrist, flicking one shuriken made of lightning at her, then quickly appeared behind her, his wrist being flicked again, only to throw one more at her from behind. These two shuriken made a slight curved motion, one headed to her turning to the right, and the one behind her turning to it's right, making a hard escape for her. If she moved right, she would be struck by the one in behind. If she moved left, she would be struck by the one infront of her. It was a hidden fact that these two shuriken were attracted to the metal as if it were a positive, increasing the chances of her getting struck from the attraction.

Alekzaunder himself moved quickly away from her, waiting for her next move as he watched her attempt to dodge his own. Even then, he was calculating more and more estimations in his mind.

Spoiler:

As the flame had been sent, Ariana didn't waste a second and was already forming needed handseals. The dust was still in the air, the flames barely done reaching Alekz as Ariana left the after image behind. "Bunshin no Jutsu." Her replica stood still in her place as Ariana dashed behind a bush which was but a few steps away. Using her stealth, she crept up along side it, keeping low, keeping quiet as she did so. From behind her "shelter" she watched. This was getting more and more interesting, and it seemed that Alekz was quite used to that Jutsu she had pulled off earlier, as if he anticipated the hidden shuriken quite well. He probably had scorched his fingers a little bit though, but nothing that would bother him she assumed. Ariana discovered much to her surprise that she was really enjoying this spar. That was not something that she was used to.

As Alekz closed in on the clone, Ariana circled around, using the dust and debris from previous attacks as cover. His movements were good, his speed impressive, as she wondered what he was up to. But he had made a small mistake of assuming she had been staying still at the same spot. Just as he launched his attacks with the lightning shuriken, Ariana's hand flew to her pouch and retrieved 2 kunais which were thrown towards Alekz's back, having the purpose of being used as small distractions while she made quick handseals. The metal of the kunai would be sure to attract both the lightning shuriken towards Alekz himself, as Ariana muttered, while already on the stance to move away. "Wind Cutter." A large slicing blast of wind advanced quickly on Alekz, while Ariana moved quietly to a different spot.

Spoiler:

As Alekzaunder watched his opponent from behind, the lightning shuriken cut through her. 'I've got her for sure..' He smirked. Just then, his eyes widened as what was a clone, burst from the accurate hit of both of the shuriken. The one from behind hit a nearby tree and stuck in the trunk, then faded. The one in front came towards him. But for what reason? Alekzaunder's equipment are all negative to his own lightning chakra. He had to act now, and he assumed there was some sort of magnetic trickery going on here.

Quickly, Alekzaunder jumped to the side, his good eye catching two kunai making contact with the lightning shuriken, and dropping down on the ground, useless now. His eye also caught the sly yet silent Ariana. Hands sparking, he made one hand sign and smirked. To his surprise, a large gust of wind came towards him, thinking that she was trying to hide while he took care of this. One last glimpse of her, then the direct of the wind, he spread his arms, then clapped his hands together. "YOU CANT HIDE FROM ME!" Alekzaunder screamed as his clapped hands emit a strong, narrow, sharp, bolt of lightning towards the area of which she was silently creeping to behind her jutsu.

The narrow bolt of powerful lightning cancelled out upon her own 'wind cutter'. It was a great defensive and offensive jutsu to use, and it came in handy with his situation right now.Either Ariana would be struck by this bolt of lightning, or somehow escape how quick it is and how accurate his aim was. Chances like those were small when you were up against a true professional of his own element.

Spoiler:

She rolled on the ground, jumping quickly on her feet only to see that Alekz had sent a large lightning attack towards her and her wind attack. He also yelled out, making her almost want to back a bit away while wondering if he was taking this a bit too seriously. I'm gonna get murdered today? Ariana did wonder though about his reason for sending a lightning jutsu against the wind one, as it had been taught early on in the training of the ninja that wind could best lightning. Perhaps he had forgotten in the heat of the battle, or maybe this was just a trap. The wind canceled out the lightning jutsu, and advanced quickly on Alekz. While Ariana used the chance to move again out of sight as she couldn't help but worry if Alekz could stop her attack in time. It was only a matter of seconds now, and she knew he would get damaged severely if he'd get hit. And it was not likely he'd manage to jump out of reach because of the size of the wind cutter.

As Alekz was probably being a bit .. occupied with the wind attack, Ariana used the time while she was not in sight as she kept circling the area. She quickly made the handseals while muttering the name of the jutsu. "Fire Clone" A copy of herself appeared, and started to run in the opposite direction of Ariana before it started to advance into the field. Slowly it approached at Alekz's blind side, where his mask covered his face, as it made it's way behind him.
