Such Cruel Words

[Kadaj]

In range... A false-swipe, Kadaj uncaring about whether it missed or not, whether it was blocked or not... He leapt back, charging a Materia as he did so and sending a blast of Fire at the ninja, landing neatly a good distance from her. The explosion of fire from the Materia blocked his view of the girl, he couldn't tell whether the magic attack had hit it's target or simply struck a wall. It didn't matter.

Flicking Souba around in his hand to a defensive grip, Kadaj squinted into the fire, trying to get a glimpse of Yuffie and prepare for any attack came this way.

Somewhere, lost within his own mind, Kadaj was struggling with the controlling influence of Sephiroth, crushing in on him, forcing his body to move against his will.

Why, mother...?

[Yuffie]

Yuffie had dodged the false swipe,but she wasn't expecting fire.You can't block a fire attack it's just impossible,engulfed by it she coughed from the flames and smoke that was surrounding her.Well it was either hit or miss,throwing her boomerang in the direction she hoped Kadaj was the ninja patted at her pockets.

"I know I *cough*damn it,I know it's here somewhere....".

Stupid remnant doing that unexpectatly,why can't men just face her head on instead of doing stupid tricks like this.Finding what she was looking for,Yuffie took out the water materia from her pocket and used it to get through the fire and getting far away from the flames.

*cough*

"Stupid remnant,why we're you thinking*cough*.....ouch ouch ouch that was hot".

Besides a few minor burns and trying to catch her breath,she wasn't in ba condition.Just for kicks she took out some shuriken she tended to carry around,her vision abit blurry from the smoke but she threw them hoping it was Sephiroth she was tossing them at.

[Kadaj]

Kadaj had never fought Yuffie before, and he had clearly missed the fact that her weapon served its purpose better at long range than short. The gleam of metal lit by fire was his only warning as the boomerang flew towards him through the flames.

He raised Souba, in its defensive grip, lying along the length of his arm. There was a clang of metal as the two weapons met, Kadaj flicking Souba forwards to knock Yuffie's weapon away. But even as it spun away, Kadaj flinched.

Dropping the hand that held Souba to his side, he raised his right hand to his cheek. There was blood on his fingertips as he pulled them away. A shallow gash, directly beneath his eye. If that had been a little higher...

“Tch.”

While Yuffie was distracted with attacking Sephiroth, Kadaj spun Souba into an offensive grip, running at the girl again. This time, as the blade cut an arc through the air, it wasn't a false swipe. This time, he wanted to see blood.

[Sephiroth]

Sephiroth growled in frustration, obviously irritated by the girl.
As the shurikens came forward, Sephiroth dodged out of their way and tried to summon Masamune again so he could join in.
But it didn't respond.

"Puppet! Keep this girl busy! I need to find out where my sword has vanished to!" Sephiroth growled.
It then became apprent to him, that he was missing the other half of the black materia.

"...and if you have time, try to locate the black materia shards...I have a good idea of who might have them." he added, before getting into another defensive stance and clearing off anymore shurikens.
Kadaj had to get the girl clean away from the door for him to get out, but he couldn't fight back without his sword.
That several foot long, sword of death.
Sephiroth grumbled something to himself before cracking his knuckles and defending himself again.

(Reaalllly bad post, sorry.)

[Yuffie]

Yuffie didn't have time to dodge Kadaj,she felt it....the sharp pain coursing through her body as she lurched foreward.She saw her weapon come back to her,but it landed a few feet away.Falling to her knees,red liquid oozed from the wound that the remnant caused.

"Ugh.....owie,how could I have been so...careless".

Was this the end,no that was stupid thinking.She couldn't let a mere wound like this be her downfall,ignoring her pain she ran for her boomerang and picked it up turning around and throwing it again at Kadaj.

"I won't let you kill me that easily,why can't you creeps just stay DEAD".

[Kadaj]

Kadaj was listening to Sephiroth, but even so, what could he do but comply? He was little more than a puppet, after all. As Yuffie fell to her knees, Kadaj drew back Souba. This would be the death blow...

Sephiroth spoke to him again, and this time, he hesitated. The one-winged angel had not said Cloud's name, at least not so he could hear it, but immediately an image of the ex-SOLDIER had flashed into his mind. He almost seemed to wince, lifting his free hand to his face, the hand clutching Souba lowering to his side slowly.

His distraction gave Yuffie enough time to retrieve her weapon, and put some distance between them in the process. He was almost too slow to block as the boomerang came spinning towards him again, his breath hissing through his teeth as it glanced of Souba and sliced his arm, right through the leather of his sleeve.
