Lucius, A challenge.

Ayaka sat on the branch of a great oak, waiting for Lucius. She had heard of the Anbu....Zeik's student....She cracked her knuckles. Damn, she need a fight...she was going rusty.

Twigs crackling beneath his feet, Lucius took in the warm spring air, almost in a meditative state as he strolled through the forest. In fact he was completely oblivious to anything or anyone else in the area, instead surrounding himself with his own aura in attempts to control his own rogue dark chakra of these days..

Ayaka blinked. Was that...? Hmm. Probably. She jumped down infront of the oblivious Lucius, and nodded slightly. "Why, hello there. Do you happen to be Lucius Blackthorn, by any chance?" She asked, feeling the aura surrondvng him.

He stopped and blinked, somewhat recognizing the face at first. He simply couldn't put his finger on it... "Yes, that would be me." He did his best to curb the leak of black chakra.. it was rather unsightly, especially in company. Yet he had to do something about it soon.. "I take it you were.. looking for me?"

Ayaka nodded. "Yes. I would like to test myself against you, Zeik's student" She said, gazing intensly at him. "Would you care for a match?" she asked, tilting her head slightly. She blnked, realizing something. "Oh, and...my name is Ayaka. Ayaka Woulfe. Pleasure to meet you".

Akaya, that was her name. Of course he recognized her. One of Zeik's finest team members back when he was part of Team Hellfire. ..Zeik, right. He sighed, trying to rid his mind of that damned mental flash. Things had changed so much. He opened his eyes to see a murky black trail from his sleeve, once again. This was getting bad, and he was already told to expend his chakra in order to curb this leak.

"Of course, Ayaka. I'd be glad to." He breathes steadily, and then adds something. "Although.. for this fight I will have to expend every ounce of my chakra. I do hope you can help me do so."

Ayaka nodded. "I'll do my best..." She rolled her shoulders. She'd start off with something light, like usuall. She stamped a foot onto the ground, and a wave of soil, earth, rock, etc. came flying up, moving in the direction of Lucious.

He took a stance and made a similar wave-like motion with his arm, sending a dense wave of sheer Dark energy towards the earthly wave, parting it and continuing with a much lighter force towards Ayaka. Already a terribly flashy move for Lucius..

He sighed, trying to figure the best way to drain chakra without utterly killing the Jounin-leveled shinobi in front of him. There must be some way..

Ayaka flexed her fingers as the wave came near. It hit her head on, creating a cloud of dust as it happend. When the dust cleared, Ayaka wasn't there. It had been a clone, but then were was the real one? The ground broke from behing Lucious and Ayaka popped out, covered in dirt from tunneling through the ground. Her boulder claws were on her hands, the rock shining slightly. She slammed her fists into the ground, and the ground infront of her-and under Lucius- shattered and starrted to fall away into what seemed to be a botomless pit. That or it was just quite deep.
