The sparring match between Dikura and Sakura begun.
Dikura got out her staff and took a readied stance.
"Do you have a weapon, Sakura?" she said.
"No, I trust in Nature enough to know that she will provide for all I need," the other combatant replied.
"Okay, well... here I come then!" Dikura announced with vigor.
The elven warrior moved the distance between Sakura and her, as if gliding, and swung her staff for a strike to the nymph's shoulder. Sakura, thinking fast, but unsure, called upon plants within the ground to come up and shield her.
The plants, however, were not fast enough. Sakura fell to the floor, and Dikura ran up to her.
"Oh my gosh! I didn't mean to knock you down... you okay?" Dikura inquired.
Sakura grunted as she sat up.
"Yes, but..." she ended questionably. In a flash, vines entangled Dikura's legs and threw her to the floor. "I hope you mind I didn't do that."
The vines receeded and both the combatants got up. Their eyes crossed, each with a determined look in her eyes. Dikura used Aqua Shot while Sakura made a flurry of leaves with her Leaf Kunai, each of these moves targetting the opposing females.
The first leaves cut through the water Dikura shot and sliced the latter's arm. Dikura used her Elven Feats to easily maneuver her body to dodge the rest of the incoming leaves. She then gather water streams with both hands and was about to hurl the magic at Sakura. A loud shriek, however, halted the battle, as both contestants froze under the sudden noise.
"Wonder what that was..." Dikura inquired.
"Sounds like a feminine voice, one that is aged I would say," Sakura replied.
Dikura took the water and instead, used it to heal her arm. She then announced, "Let's go check it out. We'll continue this spar later."
"Agreed."
The two females brushed off and strutted towards the direction where the sound came.
