Shadows in the forest of death

"Checkmate." Zyrag corrected him as he now had shadow enhanced bone armor under his skin.

*He nodded and backed up*
"Round two?"

"Yes." he answered moving back a few feet as well.

*Raku probed his wound and twitched a little*
"Okay.."
*He dashed towards him and thrusted his blade at him hoping to hit him in the shoulder again then drew a dagger to fend off any retaliation with a sword*

Zyrag saw the sword coming and leaned back and to the side to avoid it. Then, continuing the motion he did an old move, the sweep kick with a spike protruding from his shin.

*He expected him to do so and lifted his leg up and kicked his chest to gain distance*

Without warning he threw a bone grenade as he was sliding backward. Giving Raku little time to react it exploded as it his the ground.

*He didnt have time to react and was sent skidding backwards*
"Shit..."
*The blood was on the ground now*

He stood up, a few spikes sticking through his skin. He looked over to make sure Raku wasn't seriously injured, prepared for another "sneak"attack.

*Raku winced and used a water dragon jutsu and sent it towards him*

Zyrag shot a bone drill at the water dragon and got prepared to defend if it didn't work.

*The dragons power was shortened but still maade the impact on him and Raku charged trought the water and slashed at him with the sword*

The torrent slammed him into a nearby tree. where Raku's blade struck across his chest. As the water stopped and Raku was pinning him to the tree he had a spike extend from his gullet towards Raku's.

*He quickly backed up to avoid the spike and uppercutted him*

His jaw was dislocated after the hit, but he popped it back into place as noisily and grossly as possible. He knew how much Raku hated that kind of stuff. He moved back to the midle of the clearing and waited.

*He had a disgusted look on his face and almost threw up*
"Of all the things I can stand... That is not one of them.."

"I know..." He said in a tone that made it seem as if it was somewhat on purpose.

"Asshole." *He got himself together and made a water clone*

He smirked. He waited ready for an attack.

"Hey I'm old school.."
*He smirked and ran towards Zyrag with the clone and had the clone explode at point blank range*

Zyrag let them close in to a certain extent and unleashed bone minefield, attacking and defending simultaniously.

*Raku could barely dodge the spikes and was cut multiple times*

"What your eyes see is not always true..." He commented letting Raku recover. "This has healed my boredom for now" He smirked waiting to see if Raku was done or not.

(I found the cbox ^^)

*Raku was infuriated and weaved his way out of the bones and sebt a blinding flurry of slashes with his sword at Zyrag*

He dodged a lot of the strikes, but some connected until he finally shadowstepped and waited for Raku to quit hitting air. "Calm now?"
