Lexi jumped out of the way of the senbon. While in the air she charged her limbs up with chakra. Once she landed she ran toward Haruko and made an attempt to punch at her. The punch was wild and not focused in any way shape or form. The punch was just there to get as much strength into it as possible to deal as much damage as possible. As her punch would suggest if you were a tactician sher could take hits just as well as she could deal them out. That was the street fighting style keep going forward even if the opponent was pounding on you.

OOC: Ninja, That should be Lexi, not Alex.

((sorry I edited it ><))

OOC: Thanks. No problem. Honest mistake. ^_^

Haru sidestepped Lexi-san's punch. "Your strikes are very powerful," she complimented her. Turning to Konohamaru-sempai, Haru asked ",can we use our chakra and jutsus in the spar?" Haruto needed to clarify before she made a mistake and stepped out of line.

Konohamaru nodded. "Certainly, just try not to hurt each other seriously."

Lexi used this momentary klapse in Haruto's concentration and did a powerful horizontal arm sweep aimed at her upper body from Lexi's left side.

Haru tried to turn again at Lexi's swipe but managed to get her arm caught in the blow. Backing off, Haru jumped into the foliage nearby and moved off into a branch where she had a decent view of Lexi. Ow, that had hurt. Bringing out a salve and rolling up her sleeves, Haru rubbed it on her skin to somehow help with the bruising. After sticking a needle into her arm to numb it. Haru jumped out and landed behind Lexi. Holding a senbon at her neck, Haru debated to herself whether staying at such a close distance would be good for her. She didn't want to injure Lexi or pull out any jutsus yet. "Draw?" she asked politely.

Lexi froze and knew she could get out of this. She had never used this jutsu as more then just a prank but it seemed like a good opportunity. Bringing her hands together in the chakra channeling syhmbol she uttered the words "Embarassment Jutsu" All clothes undergarments and all would be ripped off of Haruto. This would give her the distraction she needed to get in a heavy blow.

Oh Lord no, Haruto thought. The title of the jutsu didn't sound good and the effect was horrible as well. Aware of the fact that there were guys nearby Haruto lept back and held up her hand to do a one handed jutsu. "Denomic Ice Mirrors," she called. The glass seemed to take to long to appear but the twelve mirrors finally formed and entrapped Haruto with Lexi. "That was dirty," she called out, while sweeping up her shredded clothes. However, in any battle, it didn't matter what a ninja did so long as they came out alive. Picking up her sweater and pants, Haru entered into one of her mirrors to clothe herself. What she came up with was the most hazardous dress she had ever made. The seams were held together by her needles and if she bent at the wrong angle, the edges would prick her. Finished, Haruto's flashed out of her mirror behind Lexi and smoothly inserted a needle at the base of her neck. "I'll end it quick and painlessly," she said as she landed into another one of her mirrors.

Haru groaned as Konohamaru gave the order to commence another sparring match, "C'mon sensei, don't do this now. Can't we just chill out for a while?" His eyes stayed on the fight that was going on between Haruto and Lexi, but something happened that caught him off guard and he paid for it. When Lexi used her infamous jutsu on her opponent, it triggered a spontaneous nosebleed on the young ninja and he pinched his nose quickly to avoid further bleeding, turning his eyes away immediately to show respect to his teammate. Shikaharu tilted his head back for a few minutes and coughed for a bit. Once the bleeding ceased, he began to collect his used weapons that were still in peak condition and put them back in their pouch. He got into his usual battle stance and nodded to Sano, "It's your turn to start the match off. Let me know when you are ready," he said kindly as well with his clan's normal lazy manner.

When the needle was stuck into Lexi she turned into a log using transformation jutsu to make it look like a substitution. This was all a part of Lexi's street fighting style. Win using any means and be unpredictable. She was glad she learned transformation in ninja academy.

Konohamaru rolled his eyes and shook his head at Lexi's tactics but he couldn't say they weren't effective. He was also fairly impressed by Haruto's quick recovery. Many girls her age would have been too mortified to react as promptly as she had. He recognized the jutsu she used from a description Naruto once gave him of a kekkai genkei (sp? lol, my brain's asleep) used by a rogue Mist ninja the hokage had fought as a genin. This new squad member was full of surprises.

Ah, Lexi escaped her trap. Haruto stepped out of her mirror and released the jutsu. Maintaining it took too much chakra and it was vulnerable from the outside. Coming out into the open, she viewed the nearby trees with suspicion. Where was she hiding? Haru pulled out her needle from her arm and massaged the sore area. At least she could do two handed jutsus now. It wouldn't be a good idea to follow Lexi into the forest as she was at a disadvantage due to the fact that she had never trained in the forest much. Stepping back a few feet, Haruto decided to let Lexi come to her.

Lexi turned back into herself and closed in behind Haruto and grabbed a hold of her around her waist and changed the chakra in her arms to electricity and let it disperse through her body. This was a jutsu know as electric body parts disturbance. What it did was rewire everything temporarily. She then pushed Haruto away.

((since Haruto is a smaller person and taking into account Lexi's experience... the effects of this jutsu will last for three of Haruto's turns))

That was unexpected. Haruto tried to close her eyes but found her elbow pushing herself up. Good, she could still move. Haruto didn't want to lose and dipped into her chakra. The moisture in the ground rose and came out around her in the form of tall ice spikes. Haru wanted to smile but found that her leg kicked out in response. The spiked formed a protective tipi around herself. This was a special trait that appeared when she was in danger and this was more or less a bad situation. This was bad, she was showing off her skills too much. She should keep something in reserve for the chunin exams. After a moment of tinkering with her body, Haruto managed to get up and lean against her wall. Raising her hands by trying to nod, Haru calmed herself down. What an interesting spar. Moving like this would take a bit of getting used to but it wasn't impossible. Haru decided to remain in her enclosure as she was in no state to fight normally. Focusing on the blurred shape outside, Haru quickly drove out another ice spike at the place that Lexi was standing. Since it took her by surprise, it should at the very least knock her to the side. What to do to win...this was a tricky fight. Haruto was half excited and half weary; this was the first time she had faught against someone that wasn't her dad or dummies. Concentrating on adapting to her new motor controls, Haru shot out a few more spiked towards Lexi's direction to buy some more time.
((You mean posting terms? this is my mule account btw))

((yes posting turns... one of hers has passed now... so two left))
Lexi dodged but still got knocked aside by the first ice spike but quickly recovered and dodged the other two. She ran straight forward toward Haruto recharging her limbs again with chakra. This would again increase her strength to three times the original amount. She had intended to get Haruto to submit by pretty much beating the crap out of her now. She had a fist raised ready to punch her right in the chest.

OOC: Good to know. I was curious when I saw the name. lol.

((I was going to ignore your rules unless Saravi said otherwise. It’s Godmodding. However I’ll go along with it just this time because I don't mind handicaps.))

Finally, she had retaken enough control to decently move about. Seeing that Lexi had dodged her badly aimed spikes and was charging at her, Haru responded by evaporating two of her spikes and leaping out of the enclosure. She smiled as she performed a clone illusion technique. Ten of her appeared in the air and they split into the forest heading to different directions. See if you can catch the real me, Haru thought as she sped off and turned around to land on a nearby branch. Konohamaru sempai never stated that they couldn’t go off into the woods, so Haru decided to take it that she wasn’t breaking his rules. It was her fault for going easy on Lexi in the beginning. From now on she wouldn’t be so hesitant on ending the fight quickly. The forests were an unfamiliar terrain to Haru but she was able to navigate through the trees without leaving any tracks. After running for a few minutes, Haruto stopped to take a break and recover. Taking a look at the sky, Haruto sighed. The clouds did not look large enough for rain, not even a light shower. Crouching down, Haruto rolled out her bandages and bound her joints. This would help lessen the strain she would take in if she was struck again. Making a mental note to add on a spool and a sewing needle to her nin bag in the future, Haruto began to formulate a counter attack.[COLOR="Silver"]

Sorry, my bad--double post )X

[[OOC: Just my two cents, but I'm not into the post turn thing either and I won't follow it if the time arrives.]]

((Sorry my bad... I didn't leave it open ended... I'll remember to do that in the future... I normally remember to do that. ><))

Lexi looked at the clones as they entered the forest trying to remember each of their directional angles. "Looks like he understands the rules... ugh this is too much work" She jumps into the forest after the first one and hits it with a shuriken. It soon disappears and she follows the next one and does the same. She keeps doing this until she makes all of the illusions disappear leaving her a bit tired and searching for the actual Haruto. She was having a hard time locating him being she couldn't remember which way he went. So she stopped on a tree branch to rest a bit. "This chick is annoying"

((I just thought of something... if those needles are made of ice wouldn't they have melted from her body heat by now?))

OOC: Haruto is a she, Ninja. Also, I thought the needles holding her clothes together were metal senbon. As for the post turn thing. I think it depends on the time passed by each post (for example, if the post is a single dodge of an attack, that wouldn't take long enough for the jutsu to wear off; but if you flee into the woods and hide for a minute, that would probably allow time for the effect to end). Is that clear? Sound fair to everyone? Please try not to abuse that by ending every jutsu that hits you prematurely. That would be godmoding too. However, you all do need to leave whether you hit someone with a jutsu or other attack open ended. Let them decide whether they can come up with a good way of avoiding the attack. I do ask that you don't avoid every attack thrown at you, especially if there isn't a good way to do so. You've all been doing a good job about that so far so I'm not to worried. Alright. Is that sorted out to everyone's satisfaction? Oh, and Faiyth, Alex asked you a question. ^_^

"You just graduated yesterday, and you're already asking me for a mission?" Kaori cocked her head to the side, forgetting momentarily that the kind of mission the genin was referring to was most likely a D one. It'd been so long since she'd done a D rank mission herself, she'd come to think of missions themselves as B+ by default. She raised the red flag as she giggled abruptly with that realization. "Oh, you mean those kind of missions. I suppose I can talk with the Hokage this afternoon, if he's not busy. You three could use some manual labor anyway."

Alex wasn't sure what Kaori meant by manual labor but a mission would soon be on the way. Since her father was the Hokage they were sure to get a good mission. his was the first time she had tought of using her status in such a way... but she wanted some good missions and wanted to prove that she could be a great ninja some day... maybe even better then her father was. She set that in the back of her mind. That was her newest goal... become better than the 6th Hokage. "Alright... a mission I will soon be on" She did a sort of twirl that transferred into a very smooth backwards flip. (She went backwards into a bridge then brought her feet smoothly above her and brought them back down then stood up.)

[[OOC: Even if she is the Hokage's daughter, there's hardly such a thing as a good D rank mission. XD And newly graduated genin should recieve nothing higher than a D rank too. ]]
