It was her laughter that probably would have stung his pride the most, her hand lightly brushing it's way through his hair. Hell, he couldn't move and couldn't do anything so why bother? Was he expecting her to be cruel and heartless? Like she had been so many years ago?
She could feel it building inside of her, the demon which she had surpassed long ago...she'd also regained control of it, she could feel it inside of her...her own dragon, her power which she'd lost during her bout of depression had been returned to her.
Would she use it on him? Send another boy to the emergency room with his life dangling just upon a thread? Forsake all of her pride and honor, would she live with her self for doing it? Of course not.
"Silly...There is no honor in attacking a defeated opponent.." She spoke the truth, the final strike which he had been expecting was indeed her grab at his pressure point...there wasn't any sense in continuing past that.

Yzal turned his head away from the with a look of disappointment clearly apparent. If he had wanted a spar he would have just went to the gym. It did hurt, her laughing that is, and just further fueled his contempt of the girl. She clearly didn't have to be her hand through his hair as if consoling him. If anything that just made it worse. That and the fact that he'd been beaten and then pitied by a girl. Honestly, if it had been a cold hearted girl, Yzal would have just brushed it off and come back to challenge her again....but this girl. He couldn't just walk up to her and ask for a rematch.
It just wouldn't be right. And even if he'd win their rematch, its not like it'd make him feel any better anyway. It'd just be a hollow victory. There was no point in fighting such a battle.
Of course there wasn't, but....but....he just didn't know....
There were to many conflicting ideas to truly make sense of it at the moment. All he knew now was that he'd been beat...by her, and she wouldn't even finish the fight. She said it was over, but it clearly wasn't, and that may have been what bothered him most.
"....maybe not....but it'd make your opponent feel better about a lost then coming out practically fine..." He said defeatedly toward the girl.
That was also what bothered him...she'd been able to stop him without even causing him to much pain. No dismemberment, or torture...or devastating moves. Just a pressure point. That was absolutely embarrassing on his part to just lose like that....

With more harsh laughter on her part Kasumi smiled down at the boy before rising to her feet again. One of her hands reached at the collar of her shirt as she gave it a careful tug, her hand reaching down as she undid the first two buttons of the shirt.
It was a lesson that this boy would have to be taught unfourtantely, she wasn't happy about what she was about to do but she was going to do it anyways. He'd wanted her to finish him off, and so she'd do some respect to his pride...if it made the near crying boy feel better.
The air around them had suddenly gotten thick, better for her to have loosened her shirt then allow for it to get shreaded to pieces by the sheer force of what she was about to preform. Carefully she regulated her Qi as her foot touched the ground and twisted slightly the air swirling visibly around her now as it transfered into her right hand.
Her eyes appeared to be those of a demons now from the sheer force of the energy around her, her hair hanging infront of her face. It was with that the Kasumi had lunged into the air and thrust downwards with the Tashinkou, her fist aiming straight for his face.
...................
And then there was silence, Kasumis fist had not hit the boy's head but rather the ground just beside his head. It would be beneath him that he felt the most activity as the attack had been discharged the ground began to crack and lose it's stability as the soil poured in upon it's self breaking from the inside out as a small crater had formed around Yzal.
"So do you see now?" She said in a serious voice, pulling her fist away both of her legs were currently supporting her spread apart right above his body. She'd almost used the force of her attack to create what could be consider a grave right around Yzal's body, though not as deep.
Of course, the attack at the level which she could use it again wouldn't have quite a wonderous effect upon an actual human body, but the soil was loose.

~'Okay...that laughing is really not making me feel any better about this.'~ He thought depressingly to himself. Yzal's head turned back toward the girl as he was about to say something else to the girl she was....unbuttoning her shirt? Oro?!
Yzal didn't want to be rude and stare, but why did she have to go and do that? Before Yzal had anymore time to really think on the matter the atmosphere suddenly changed around them. The light carefree air they had just been fighting in turned thick and heavy like a imposing force that weighed itself down on your body. Yzal looked around for a second trying to find a cause for it, but soon realized that the source was the girl.
At that moment Yzal didn't know what he felt.
Fear?
Happiness?
Awe?
Desire?
Envy?
Maybe he was feeling all of them at once in a giant kaleidoscope of feelings and emotions. Yzal slowly closed his eyes as he waited for the girls fist. He neither looked nor flinched when the girl threw the fist. There was no point going out looking like a complete coward, now was there? He'd take his fist like a man, and accept it.
............................
Yet the fist never hit and only left a crater to where it had impacted. Yzal, though his face was calm and collected, was horrified at this girl's power. ~'So....she went easy on me huh...?'~ Again the disappointment returned as the girl spoke in a more serious tone maybe explaining her actions.
Yzal's orange eyes opened and narrowed on hers. He still hadn't regained most of his motor functions and blushed slightly with the girl standing over him with her lavender hair hanging down around her face and her shirt slightly unbuttoned. He turned his face away, though he knew it was clearly apparent that it was slightly red, from the girl.
"Why didn't you just do that from that start....?" He was speaking in not so much a disappointed voice anymore, more like a low voice. "...you could have ended it before we even began with that opening blow you know..." He kept his eyes off her again, instead looking at the grass spread out around them. In his mind though, either way he looked at it, she was just toying with him the entire time.

Giving a small smile she stepped away from him, both of her hands clasped behind her back once again like they liked to do. Her head tilted to the side as she sighed contently, her entire arm hurt like hell....
But the refreshing breeze was nice on her skin as her hair blew about in the light wind...the air had returned to normal and Kasumi's seemingly killer intent had disappeared completely.
He wanted an explanation? Well, it was simple, that was actually the first time she'd managed to successfully pull that technique off since she had transfered.
"I wasn't sure if I was able to do it yet or not.....It's not fun to fight if you can just destroy your opponent at once..." Kasumi admitted, had she toyed with him? No, had she not struck him with her attack? Yes, but in the end Kasumi held nothing but that one move back from the fight.

Yzal pushed his heavy body up into a sitting position as he looked up toward the girl. "Oh...I see....." His eyes glanced away from the girl for a second only to quickly return back. "Yzal Corletto....my name i mean." He said quietly as a breeze blew along the school's courtyard.
"Are you arms okay?" He said as he kept his deep orange eyes set on the girl. To his question he was referring to when he had kicked them out from under her. It was the only real attack he had performed that he meant to land on the girl.
Overall he still wasn't to happy with the results of the fight, but he'd have to be. She wasn't the type of person Yzal would want to fight. It would eat his conscience alive if he really had hurt her. When the hell did Yzal care so much about people? It was starting to really get on his nerves...really. But it was probably only with girls....yea, that was probably it.

"They're fine." In truth his attack hadn't even hurt her, only knocked her off of her balance. The real pain in her arm had come from the atmosphereic pressure she had decided to build up there, she could just barely use that technique again and the force of it alone had nearly snapped the bones in her arm like twigs.
She didn't know exactly how safe it was for her to even attempt using it again, only that she didn't like the thought of her arm breaking in various places.

"Ah, well thats good." Yzal sighed a mental breath of relief that she wasn't hurt or anything. "You do realize i was at a disadvantage in that battle right?" He said jokingly while slightly grinning at the girl. Most of his body was back to normal now, he however didn't feel like standing up. Like before, Yzal wasn't a boy who'd waste such a beautiful day, so even if he had and lost, and had been humbled, and had been completely been rendered useless by a girl, he still could at least say he had gotten absolutely owned on a sunny day right?
"So how'd you do that crater smashing technique by the way?" He couldn't say he wasn't impressed, and plus, he was still new to the school. He'd been there for only a few days, and since was the first time he'd seen anything really out of the ordinary. Well aside from his last school he attended. It was similar to this school, except people didn't go around changing the environment and making craters with there fists.

Ah, so that technique had made an impression on him afterall as she gave a small chuckle. Her head craned back as she looked over her shoulder toward him, she'd give a small explanation of what it was but as it was a family secret she wouldn't tell how exactly it worked
"It was the Ryuukei - Tashinkou; a secret technique passed down through my family that use your Qi..."

Yzal listened to the words the girl was saying, nodding slightly as he did. ~'Qi...?'~ he wondered curiously. He had no idea what Qi really was. Usually he just moved his moved to perform the moves that he wanted...but if she could do what she said she could make craters using Qi, Yzal was pretty sure he wanted to know more about it.
"So um...can you further explain what Qi is...?" Yzal said arching one of his eyebrows toward the girl. He was pretty interested in finding out if he had Qi and if he could perhaps do something like that girl had.
OOC- Hm...your Yzal's Qi teacher....sorry! XD

"Mm...No, I cannot...It's just apart of you...It's like an energy.." That was the simplest explanation she had been given and was just about the only one that she could give in turn to anyone who asked her about Qi. Ah, the price of ignorance...how it effected those around you.
She'd never bothered looking more into how Qi worked, she only needed to know that it did work and that she had control enough over hers to manifest it upon will. That is what mattered, not how it worked or what it exactly was.
Simply put it was just that, energy, spirit, life force; whatever you wanted to call it, by the end of the day it was all just the same thing to her.

Yzal closed his eyes as he simply nodded in quiet contemplation toward the girl's answer.
~'So a energy that was apart of you huh?'~
Yzal quickly opened his eyes as he realized that he couldn't just go on thinking about tapping into that power with the girl there. That was just plain rude. "Well this has been a truly interesting day." Yzal said casually as he turned his eyes toward the girl again. He pushed himself up onto his feet with his hands and then proceeded to brush himself off.
He wasn't one of those power hunger fanatics who focused on attaining a higher level of strength, but this Qi aspect was certainly something he would have to look into. "Takanawa Kasumi..." He said in a slow thoughtful type of voice, "...I'll see ya around then heh." A childish grin quickly flashed on his face.
She was someone he would have to remember. The day wasn't really that interesting at all actually. Enjoyable to a degree, but it was quite boring. What was interesting was the lavender haired girl he had had the pleasure of fighting with. Ya....he'd definitely have to remember her. Yzal started off slowly with his hands in his pockets. He didn't want to go bore the girl. He had already probably kept her longer then she could stay anyway.
