Shounta retreated back for a moment and her kunai took a swipe at Ayralena's skin. Ayra felt pain when she saw the kunai in her side. She jumped back, hoping to put distance between them. With her pain controlling her, she flashed trough seals. When she finished the last seal, she held it. A smirk played on her face as she called the jutsu.
(1)"Ice Style: Frozen Sight Mirror Jutsu" Ayra called out. Shounta raised her eyebrows, she didn't understand how that would help. She still didn't understand as she saw seven ice mirrors form in a circle around her. When she looked into the mirrors she tried using her Narkagon, only to find that it didn't work. She tried to look for charka, only to see most of each mirror was charka. It confused her greatly, she looked for pinpoints. She was only able to see her slightest movement. When she looked to find Ayra's mind, the mirrors only confused her and she could only see her own mind.
She came to one conclusion. The Narkagon didn't work with the ice mirrors. Now the Narkagon was...useless! Ayra had truly found a way to stop the Narkagon.
Shounta was in a panic, there was nothing she could do! She was a sitting duck, she felt hopeless. She tried to find Ayra, but when she saw her she was more confused. Ayra was standing on top of the mirror, but there were several clones of her. All of the Ayra's jumped into the circle of mirrors, this action only confused her more. When she used the Narkagon to find the real one, the mirrors only made things harder.
Ayra smirked, Shounta was in a confused panic. She didn't know what to do. She and her clones skated to Shounta. All did the same kick. However, the clones had confused Shounta to where the real one would be, but she knew that the real one was in front of her somewhere.
Ayra and her clones switched positions when she kicked Shounta. Quickly, she placed Shounta's feet in ice again. This time Shounta wouldn't be able to get free with just charka. Once more she attacked Shounta from the back and switched.
Slowly Ayra raised the ice on Shounta. So slowly that Shounta wouldn't notice until it was to late.
Stijn looked on at his teammate and sister's fight. He was truly scared, he never knew that Ayra was capable of doing any of that. He could only sheath in anger as he watched the fight. Ayralena hadn't fought like that when they had to fight. Now he knew why Ayra had asked to only use taijutsu in their fight.
She was hiding her skill from everyone. She didn't really mean Stijn when she told him that it would be an advantage if they only used taijutsu. She knew that, and he now knew that. He had to admit, he wouldn't have handled these fights as good as her. He also might have lost, but she was in a very good position.
If they had really fought at the preliminaries, then he would have been in a lot of pain. She knew what she was doing, she knew more about this than Stijn himself. He didn't always trust her, but she had gotten him out of this entire deal so slyly he was angry. He saw reason enough not to trust her about the fight they had, now he wanted to ask her some questions.
The ice was now above Shounta's knees. Ayra kicked her shoulder and jumped to the other side of the circle. She could see Shounta's attempts to clam herself, each time she had hit Shounta the more panicked she became.
Shounta had long ago turned off the Narkagon, it was just a waste of useless charka that would do her no good. When Shounta looked to her feet in despair, she saw her knees to her feet had been covered in ice. She tried to use her charka like last time, but to see it didn't work. Ayra had been right, charka would not work a second time.
More panic had come to Shounta when she realized what had happened. Ayralena smirked, the clones diapered. Shounta's panic was not going down, ice was growing quickly now. Now it was at her hips, soon it would be at her head. Ayra slowly moved to Shounta, walking right in front her.
"Shounta-chan, I think you should give up soon. You wont be in ice. I can't control much of the time the ice will consume you, but it will very soon." Ayra said to her. Shounta's eyes widened, not much time that meant something to her.
In less than a second the ice imprisoning her and the mirrors disappeared. Quickly kunai pinned Shounta to the ice. She had nowhere to go, it was over.
' Kuso, I'm running out of charka. I have to let the jutsu go.' Ayra thought to her self. She quickly dropped the 'Icy Tundra Jutsu'.
Fast than Ayralena could see, Shounta was in front of her. Narkagon flaring madly. Shounta turned and gave her a heel kick. Ayra flew back form the force, well Shounta was mad.
Ayra tried to get up, still weary from using most her charka. She had used the jutsu so long she could hardly stand now. Shounta charged at her with a charka fist. The punch had hit Ayra so powerfully that she fell into what felt like three feet into the ground.
As soon as she got up, Shounta came at her again. Ayra felt pain, a lot of pain, mostly in her ribs. She knew that Shounta was clam and ready to rip her to pieces. She threw a kunai at Shounta, and ran to the other side of the arena. She was hoping to regain some of her charka, but she knew that it wouldn't work for long.
Shounta had dogged the kunai, and hit Ayra with a punch so hard that she crashed into the wall. Shounta wasted no time, she pinned her to the wall with many kunai.
The fight was over and both knew it. Everyone knew it. Ayra was just holding off her defeat as long as possible.
"This match is over. Winner, Shounta Ocentoda." The examiner said. Medics came and took Ayra, she smiled bitterly. She had lost, but it was to her friend and teammate, she didn't care.
"Good job, Shounta-chan." Ayra said to Shounta weakly before she passed out. Shounta also smiled bitterly, she hated to do that to her friend. She had been holding back in the beginning, but Ayra pushed her to fight.
"I never thought you were so strong. You really had me going." Shounta said to the passed out Ayra. But her words fell on death ears.
1) The jutsu 'Frozen Sight Mirror Justu' is one that was brefly seen in one of the begingin-meddle chapters. Other than that I think you have an idea of what it does. If you still are confused feel free to ask me.
