The winds had finally begun to die down from the last attack, the massive sand creature in the distance still looming over what was left of the village. It seemed that Suna had some fight left in it after all, Ware thought, grinning a bit under his mask. Politics aside, he couldn't help but feel excited at the scale of combat.
He had already zeroed in on his target, the girl who had escaped them previously just a few days prior. She didn't have a place to run to now, for certain. And he was feeling pretty curious about her technique....
Of course, he could still hear the nagging of his partner to be careful about underestimating the girl, but eh. No reason he couldn't have a little fun, he figured.

Oh, fuck me.
Kara scrambled down the street, shooting furtive glances at the newly developing attack of her teacher's far off on the other side of the village. Shit. She'd never anticipated something of this scale when the war he'd been warning them about reared its ugly head, but now it was here and she was completely alone; she could only hope her teammates who'd also been helping with the evacuation were faring better than herself. After losing track of Abe in that second explosion...
The earth suddenly wasn't under her feet anymore, sending her tumbling face first into the dirt; showers of sand and light debris followed, pelting her head as she pushed herself up, cursing loudly. She needed to pay attention, lest another of her teacher's attacks be the end of her before she could get back to the shelter as well.
"Goddammit..."

Ware had carefully taken cover, and he couldn't help but chuckle at the girl's epic face plant. He wondered if she was playing dumb, or if this was going to be easier than he had imagined. Either way, there was humor to be had.
But he needed to move in before she made her way back to the shelters. There could be some good from knowing their location, but it was undoubted that there would be more shinobi, and he couldn't risk a wide scale confrontation. There was enough combat going on already...
Pulling out a couple kunai, he threw them, albeit a bit halfheartedly, in her direction, while he moved around, getting himself into a good position to cut off her path.

Kara blinked at the small movement just in her peripheral, whipping her legs around; her ankle swiped one of the knives into the other, deflecting them entirely. She looked around, suddenly very alert. It wasn't inconceivable that the Hokage had brought fighters with her.... this was very troublesome.... The girl was on her feet immediately; she activated her Flash Dance, taking off quicker than the eye could perceive. She just needed to get to the shelter...

But Ware had already moved around, ready for the girl to begin to move. Instead of escaping, she was running straight into his path...
He leapt out, his body spinning at a blinding pace, a wave of chakra whipping off of him and into the air, blocking her getaway. He let the chakra disperse, sending a small shock wave out around him, pushing her back. Gazing at her through his mask, he grinned, shaking his head.
"Tsk, tsk. Is running all that Suna women can do?"

"Oh, fuck me. You again....?" Kara skipped back easily, her voice suggesting that she was more peeved than scared. She sneered slightly, cocking her head back with a worried sigh; she should have expected this, just not so soon. "Shouldn't you be taking care of your boyfriend's dog or something? You're in my way."
She folded her arms into her sleeves, looking rather cool and cocky for someone who'd just fallen on their face.

Ware shrugged, still grinning. "Sorry, kiddo, but I got a job to do. Nothing personal really." He reached up and pulled off his mask, turning it to the side. Frankly, he hated wearing the thing, and as far as he was concerned, he was just another troop on the line for the time being.
"You're supposed to be defending your home anyway, right? Its unavoidable, so lets just make the best of it." He smirked, flashing her a thumbs up. It wasn't too often that he could really fight fairly with someone. All that secret op shit...pretty dull when they fall for it.

A small smile flickered onto her face and she licked her lips. Offering a fair fight was quite noble of him. It may have been a little childish of her, but a chance to test out her skill at the point was quite tempting, tired as she may have been from running to and fro carrying small children and being blown up; the others were safe anyway. She was confident that she could take him.
"Alright then. Let's dance~"

Ware chuckled, slipping carefully into his fighting stance, his feet sliding through the sand gracefully, as though he were floating across the ground erratically as he hurtled forward, twisting and turning intricately as the closed the distance. In range, he struck carefully, swiping at her in an arc, twisting and following through with a palm thrust with considerable force surrounding it.

Kara twisted as well, spinning and skipping back on her toes with the graceful fluidity only a skilled dancer could achieve. She arched out of the way of his first attack, moving with it and spinning before skipping back from his second, making the fight indeed look like some queer sort of dance. Her arms whipped out of her sleeves as his hand got close to her; his palm met a quasi-solid barrier before blood splattered about from the force of the blow. Riding on the the combination of their movements she shifted back, up, planting a foot on his chest and kicking off with such a force that it would send him back several steps as she flipped back through the air, landing and spinning low on the ground with two small crimson blades emerging from the long vertical slits up her wrists and palms.

Ware had carefully let his legs slide forward, arching backwards to lessen the force of her kick, allowing himself to flip over in the air as well, landing a distance back, his feet gracefully sliding forward again, as though propelled by some force. He slipped forward, his feet shifting, crossing in feint, before whipping back around, his body spinning as the distance between them closed again.
Another burst of chakra surrounded him as it had previously, but lighter, serving mostly as a distraction and opening move. As his movement rounded off again, he gave a two handed thrust this time, the force from the attack more more intense than the last, coupled by a faint glow of chakra in the air, warped into the shape of a lion's head, slamming into the woman's body.

She skipped back a few steps, but fell for his feint, twisting right into the attack. Her body doubled over, hitting the ground and rolling back over her head and onto her feet. A fish scale-like pattern covered her front, much of it heavily distorted and dripping from taking on the brunt of the attack, but overall, she seemed alright. If anything, the grin on her face seemed to suggest that she was starting to get a better grasp on the man's ability.
"Okay, I know the steps to this one; Crow Claw: Wind Dance~."
Kara whipped her arm out in what seemed to be a slash aimed at her opponent, even though he was out of her reach now; however, his top split open in a splash of red, the girl still out of reach and leaving nothing but the wound and a faint ringing in either's ears. What went unseen by even the most trained eye was a stretching of the blade to a tremendous extent at such a speed that nearly broke the sound barrier; even if someone with eyes such as her opponent had saw it coming, it was much too fast to avoid at all. Something capable of shattering even the strongest of defenses~

Ware had indeed seen the unique buildup of chakra, but even with such a forewarning, the attack was impossible to fully avoid under the circumstances. He slid back and to the side, twisting and propelling a wave of chakra around him, deflecting the attack as best as he could, but he could feel the warm sting of an open wound across his chest already.
Her internal workings were curiously unique, utilizing a far larger array of chakra point than the average body should be capable of. Along her bloodstream, he concluded from her attacks. Cracking its makeup would take a great deal of analyzing...and slowing down her abilities would be more difficult considering the amount of defense the technique could provide.
"Not bad...Its a pretty interesting technique you have. All this blood takes away from the grace of it if you ask me though." He grinned, his feet sliding out slightly before...
He practically seemed to vanish, appearing beside her, his body twisting swiftly, one leg extending out in a sweep, forcing her legs apart and adding momentum to his own attack. He palm thrust her once more in the chest, but with shockingly little force. A feint.
"Boob touch~" He chimed, his other hand already following up, a powerful upward palm thrust to her chin, a chakra wave surrounding it like a lion's head, fangs bared and latching onto her head and charging forward, dragging her into the air.

"Guh...!" She flew into the air, spiraling back and landing hard on the back of her shoulder; she rolled a couple times until coming to a sliding rest on her knees, whereupon she swung around, slashing out with another of the sonic attacks. Her head felt numb and her ears were ringing now, driving her aim a little high, but still right across the man's chest, inviting another bloom of blood right below his clavicle, down diagonally over the previous wound.
A slight bit unsteady, she hopped back to her feet, eyeing him once more. Didn't wanna get him by more of those things, even though her accelerated rate of healing was already working on closing the scratches and bumps it had left her with. It was just a pain.
"Ugh... and I thought you'd have more class than that, but you're nothing but a pervert..." She sneered some, brushing off her chest huffily. "I don't think someone like that would understand what grace is."

He rolled aside, doing his best to avoid the attack; and while he may have gotten away better than the first time, it was certainly a dangerous move to face. He couldn't let her keep throwing those attacks out or it might get start getting out of hand.
"We're all a little perverted. Don't pretend you aren't." He grinned, waving a playfully chastising finger at her.
He continued to watch her closely, tracing her chakra flow and analyzing the way her technique moved, including her regeneration. It was definitely a power ability, but it seemed obviously reliant on itself, with a great deal of chakra utilizing her blood stream.
"Hm..." He hummed, rubbing his chin. "Well...whenever you're ready to try again." He added, waving his free hand at her to bring it on.
