Mitsuharu could see a new-found determination in Laguna. Good. This is what he wanted. Thetrue fight. He burst his aura out, his arm and blade wreathed in a black shroud. His wings emerged also. He did not push his fear against Laguna, but instead spread it out. It might have an effect upon him, but given his determination, he neither knew nor cared.
His arm reached out, and grabbed at Laguna's leg, trying to flip him completely off his feet.

Laguna couldn't react fast enough to this and was flipped into the air, hitting the concrete hard and rolled away. He luckily hadn't land on his back, otherwise he would be an easy target begging to me killed. He quickly jumped up again, arm limp at side, nerves stunned by falling on top of his scythe shaft....
Laguna knew that if he waited to recover Mitsuharu would unleash another attack. So he dashed towards him, scythe wielded in his unstunned, dominant arm.

Mitsuharu was not ready for this. He raised his blade to parry, but as his blade melt the pole of his scythe, he felt the tip of the scythe against his back. It couldn't have gone in more than half an inch, but he felt it. "Congratulations, you have done what hundreds before you could not. Feel proud, young one." He was now under the scythe, nothing between himself and Laguna. "But now, you are widely open..."
He attempted to swing his arm against the pole. With his own blade locking the scythe in place, his own arm would disarm him, force him to drop the scythe, or let it shatter.

Laguna loosed the grip of his weapon and let it fly, spinning several yards down the street, it was too valuable to risk shattering becasue of a simple duel. He immidiately moved away from the arm, he knew that thing could kill him easily should Mitsuharu use it on him and pulled out a knife with a half-foot long blade, he was at a major disadvantage now, and he wouldn't use his gun in a non-lethal duel....not yet, hopefully.
Luguna's hand was still shaken with the force of the blow, both his arms had lost power, but at least his lesser arm was functional again.

"Do you wish to continue, young one, or shall we call the battle in my favor at this point?" he smiled. It was a good battle. For a small person, he was quite the fighter.
Mitsuharu lowered his weapon slightly, showing that he was ready to be attacked but waiting.

Laguna couldn't continue much more, his arms were stunned badly, and he had numerous cuts and bruises. "okay, yeah I'm done, if I continue then my skill and energy will just continue to spiral down." He dropped his knife to the ground and rubbed his battered arms. He could have continued a bit more if he hadn't been disarmed, but with his knife as his only weapon he might as well have been trying to beat Ko with a single senban needle.

"Do not be so hard on yourself. You fought well, you are a quick-witted fighter." Mitsuharu went over to grab the scythe. "Keep training, someday, I would enjoy a rematch, young one."

Laguna raised a brow to this comment. "Hmmm maybe...But I'll always be a thousand years too early to beat such a strong foe, I'm just glad you weren't fighting to kill." He bent down and picked up his knife. He was battered, too exhausted to wander around the city, he would head to the Mehket house tonight if he could. He walked over to get the scythe, now remembering the soul crushing aura pressing down on him, slowly strangling his optimism.

Mitsuharu could sense the intruder upon the scene. He focused his aura in that direction, relieving Laguna of most of it's effects.
He grabbed the scythe, eyes watching his surroundings. "You must learn the strengths and weaknesses of your weapon. You know what you are capable of, but not your weapon."
He brought it back to his foe, holding it out for him to grab at his will.

Laguna felt the aura leave him, which was a welcome relief. He took his scythe and remembered this advice his former opponent had just given him. He noticed that Mitsuharu was focusing his aura at someone else. Laguna was unsure how to react, if this newcomer was anything like Ko in the way of entrances, then he dreaded to thought of it.

(And because I'm pissed...I'm out ) LuLu turned and bolted while she still had the chance and Ko was distracted. She knew he could easily find her if he chose to, but she didn't care. She would think about everything later.

Ko watched LuLu run away, his eyes narrowed slightly, but then turned back to the two duelers. He walked towards them, speaking to Mitsuharu.
"He gave you a good fight, I see."
He then looked directly at Laguna, staring down at the smaller and frailer vampire, then chuckled, sounding much like a beast drawn from the depths of the earth.
"You fight well, young Mekhet. Should you survive, you will become strong."

Mitsuharu nodded to Ko, then gave the young mehket a pat on the pack. His eyes still remained on that figure watching them. "And what of the other, Ko?"

Azrael groaned and turned to Ko. "Thanks a fucking lot" He ran off after Lulu (I'm out)

She sighed, uncorking a vial of holy water and downing it, to quench her thirst. She had been out hunting all night, and this was getting a bit boring. Still though, she stood... or rather sat... her ground, relaxing comfortably on a rooftop ways away from the going ons. She noticed one of them looking her way.
"Oh, looks like they've noticed me."
