Prompt: Sparring
Author: Lotus
Summary: Kanda and Gojyo spar a bit. It devolves into a tickle fight. There may be blackmail. (Okay, so this one is a bit better than the others... kinda. (I'm talking about the summary not the drabble.))

Sparring
Sparring with Kanda had to be one of the most interesting experiences. The Japanese man's footwork was impeccable, moving him in and out of range with a dancer's grace and an acrobat's agility. It was like dancing on a knife's edge. One wrong step and you'd get cut. Gojyo wasn't bad himself. His foot work a little easier to follow and his attacks a bit more straightforward, unless he used the crescent scythe on the chain. But he was used to fighting multiple straightforward opponents as opposed to one opponent who could switch from straight forward to feinting without missing a beat
Kanda lunged in with Mugen, sliding the blade along the staff of Gojyo's weapon. Gojyo tried to block him but he feinted right, then left, before spinning out of the attack entirely and slashing him across the back. He used the back of the blade because they were sparing but it still stung.
Gojyo scowled and spun around to face him. Kanda was smirking as he bounced lightly on the balls of his feet. Gojyo whipped the crescent scythe at Kanda and the Japanese man dodged with ease, flicking Mugen against the chain just to make it harder to bring back evenly. But no matter how good Kanda was, he was still susceptible to unknown enemies, such as the small and relatively harmless grass snake that bit his ankle when Kanda stepped too close.
Kanda hissed, kicking out with his foot to remove the snake. Gojyo took this chance to attack. Kanda blocked the blade on the end of Gojyo's staff. Gojyo pushed a little more strength into his attack. Kanda swung the leg he'd kicked, spinning himself out of Gojyo's attack and grabbing the taller man's wrist. Despite having escaped, he overbalanced, dragging Gojyo down on top of him.
They fell into a heap on the grass. Kanda groaned, closing his eyes for a moment before cracking one open to give Gojyo a one eyed glare. "You're heavy, get off."
"I don't think I will," Gojyo said. "I'm quite comfortable." He scooted down a bit so he could rest his head on Kanda's shoulder instead of the awkward angle he would have had to achieve to put his head on the ground. Kanda dropped Mugen in favor of trying to push Gojyo off. It wasn't working in the least.
Kanda growled before digging his fingers into Gojyo's ribs slightly. "Oi!" Gojyo said, squirming a bit. Kanda smirked evilly and started tickling Gojyo relentlessly. Gojyo couldn't help it and started laughing, rolling off Kanda. "Alright, alright, stop!"
"No," Kanda said, smirking as he rolled with Gojyo and ended up sitting on his stomach, still tickling him. Gojyo was crying laughing and reached up, tickling Kanda's ribs as well. It quickly devolved into a tickle war with the both of them trying to keep their dignity and not laugh. Somehow Kanda ended up on his back again. He wrapped his legs around Gojyo's waist and pulled him forward. Gojyo was forced to stop tickling him in favor of catching himself before he broke his nose on Kanda's forehead. Kanda grabbed his wrists and pulled them up above both of their heads, easily immobilizing them both. Gojyo smirked and placed a kiss on Kanda's forehead. "Who won?"
"I did!" Goku shouted happily before running off with a video camera in one hand. Gojyo swore violently as Kanda let him go and they both went chasing after the monkey, weapons in hand.
