Hoshi vs. Toshiro(ARI!)

[Woe, is Raven!]

It was tiring. Training that is. And Hoshi had barely scratched the surface of control of his inner flames. It was actually incredibly hard as it turned out. Very slightly Hoshi clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth. sparks flew from between his teeth making him flinch. Control was something he'd have to work on....

It was very tiresome indeed. But he had trained long enough and now it was time to put his training to the test. He didn't have a teacher. He was here to test what he'd figured out by himself. so slowly Hoshi stepped from the shadowed side of the arena into the sunlight. The sun was directly above him. Four fires were at the corners of the arena. He blinked and they all shifted ever so slightly towards him. He stepped on the stone floor lightly. Even through his light shoes he could feel the heat form the stones on his feet. Ever so slightly Hoshi blinked staring at one fire in particular he moved towards it his hands still in his pockets his shirtless body sweating like a pig in the sun.

He stopped near the edge of the fire and blinked staring into it. Slowly he pulled his hand from his pocket and slowly pushed it into the fire. He blinked and slowly pulled it out. his arm was aflame but he was not burned the slightest. He lightly allowed himself a smirk before his expression went cold at the North pole as he heard the scuffle of shoes on the other side of the arena near the entrance.

Hoshi growled and whipped around shoving both hands towards his soon to be attacker fire leaving his forearm and shooting out towards the unknown man. " The name is Hoshi. " The boy said bluntly. " And if I win.... I expect you to supply me with a small portion of food. " [/b]

It was a lovely evening, Toshiro was walking along in the streets, making his way to the arena..and his opponent. This hadn't scared him. Today, his outfit was quite peculiar. He wore dark red were slightly loose and wrapped right below his knees, he was shirtless and had his sword strapped to his waist. On his feet, he wore simple fire nation styled battle shoes. his hair was slightly spiked up in the front and his honey eyes glowing in the dark.

Alright soo..today i will only use my sword if i absolutely have to. He continued walking to the arena, noticing instantly the shape and style was fire bender friendly. On each corner was a single flame, and the only thing lighting the arena as the night fell upon them. Toshiro only had a second to take this all in when a fireball came hurtling toward him.

He quickly ducked as the fireball charred the wall behind him and narrowed his eyes at his opponent. " The name is Hoshi. " The boy said bluntly. " And if I win.... I expect you to supply me with a small portion of food. " he laughed slightly. "Well, alright. If I win..you learn better manners, but..two can play that game."

He created a ball of fire in his hand and launched it at his opponent, followed by another one double its size. "I'm Toshiro. Pleasure to meet you..i suppose." He said with a smirk.

[Woe, is Raven!]

Hoshi blinkedn oting his response before he dropped to the gorund his chest hitting the floor hard before he rolled dodging the bigger fireball. He felt the heat singe the little hairs on his arms. The boy started getting up and while he did he kicked a jet of flame towards Toshiro before spinning and standing. he took and offensive position with his feet and smirked slightly. " Whats wrong with my manners huh? " he punched out with his fist launching another ball of flame towards the man. He spun darting to the side running as fast as he could.

He pulled his slightly dulled knife from its little sheath and made a sharp turn towards Toshiro intending to get close enoguh to stab him.

Toshiro kept a sharp eye, watching Hoshi's every movement. It didn't even seem like he noticed that Toshiro would attack until the very last minute, nevertheless, he dodged it. This put a smile on Toshiro's face.'Well, this might be interesting after all.', he thought to himself. Then Hoshi stood up. Within seconds two fireballs where coming at him from two different angles and Hoshi was coming at him from the side with, what looked like, a knife.

"Whats wrong with my manners huh?" He smirked and drew out his own sword and extended the hollow, prickly blade. 'Hmm...instead of creative my OWN fire to come out of the many wholes of my sword..I'll just absorb the blasts heading straight at me..but i have to concentrate..'He held the sword toward the first fireball and closed his eyes, concentrating all his energy on bending the fire into his blade, as soon as he succeeded he moved onto the second fireball. "Got it."he smirked and opened his eyes, the prickly, fire-blade sword now in his hand.

He spun around at the very last second and blocked Hoshi's attack, finally seeing the man eye-to-eye. "What's wrong with your manners? You asked for food and attacked before even introducing yourself. You think you're getting food from me now? Heh..forget it." He said with a slight laugh.
