Tenma sat on his bed, looking at his chakra arm. He wondered what would happen if his chakra arm went out....how much different it would be...He knew it was only a matter of time. He got up when he heard a kock at his foor. He opened the door.

Saruka suddenly slies in the door and kicks Roxl in the face, with a flying kick. Saruka then lands behind him and yells at Roxl. "STOP BEING SO DAMN DEPPRESSED!!!!"

Tenma stares at Ruka angrily. "Im the depressed one? IM THE DEPRESSED ONE? LOOK AT YOURSELF!"

Saruka frowns at Roxl. "You shouldn't have said that." Saruka says, his voice suddenly changing to a dark, deep, serious voice, his eyes grow slimmer. "I really didn't want to think about that..." Saruka suddenly dissapears and punches Roxl to make him fly outside. Then reappears glaring at Roxl.

Tenma looks at Ruka. "What have you done to yourself? You were always happy before, but why are you so depressed?"

"I was happy, until you reminded me I was depressed..." Saruka sighs heavily after he states this, and sits down on the ground, looking up at Roxl.

Roxl takes out a kunai knife and throws it at his door, which springs a trap where Ruka is sittng. The trap completely encases Ruka in mud and feathers. "You've nnever truly be happy. Get over it." He sighs. "Its about time I got my anger out. Im going to ask you a question: Are you willing to fight me - to the death."

"..." Saruka looks surprised then smiles. "Ofcourse!" Saruka moves so quickly the mud and feathers fly off of him without leaving a spot as he stands up, looking truly eager.

Tenma turns his back on Ruka. "Then after this, one of us will be dead..."

(This is a few days after the mission, fyi.)

"Fine by me Roxl!" Saruka yells and smiles very brightly. Saruka then looks around. "Where should we fight, when, and are there any rules?"

"We will fight... at our old training site in the mist valley. The rules are.... no rules."

(Make sure you use your life bar, and Ruka your bad at this, but NO GODMODDING AT ALL!!!)

(Tenny, sense I was away at the strict forums, I've learned not to godmod)

"Got it. Let's go then!" Sarukea said cheerfully, turning on his heel and marching towards the mist quickly.

They arive, and Tenma looks at Ruka, Prepared to die, or to kill. "BEGIN!" He lunges at Ruka, and tries to punch him.

Saruka whips out his sword, using it as an extension of hims arm, he stabs Roxk in the stomach as he lunges at him.

Tenma grabs his stomach, and wipes the blood away, staggering a bit, he draws his sword and cuts Ruka's arm.

Leaping away, but still being scratched a bit, Saruka spins on his heel and uses the momentum to swing his sword extremely quickly and with a lot of power.

Tenma puts his sword up to protect himself, but he still gets scratched. He jumps back and uses a jutsu:

Magma Flow
Battlefield turns to half magma

Saruka spins on his heel and concentrates his chakra to create a small chakra tornado which he shoots at Roxl.

Tenma spins aswell, countering the tornado. "This is going no where..." He pushes Ruka, trying to make him fall in the lava.

Saruka grabs Roxl arm and throws him underneath him and jumps of his face and gets onto the safe side, then he throws a ton of kunai and shuriken at Roxl.

Roxl jumps into the lava, as lava cant burn a ex-magumakage. He still ends up hurt from the kunai, and waits for Ruka to move.

Saruka watches roxl, knowing how imaptiant he can be, he waits for Roxl to make the forst move.

Tenma jumps out of the lava, a large amount of it behind him in a wave. He sends the wave at Ruka.

Saruka moves his hand infront of him and a current of air stops the lava and blows it back into the pool of lava.

(notice: you haven't gotten hurt once yet. what happened to the "I've learned not to godmod since kenshin forums"???)
