Reaper was back in the bone rich littered wasteland. His last spar here was a successful victory, one he was proud of himself for. He was hoping to spar even more now, he felt as if he needed more training. Moloch flew ahead him in the sky, circling a good place for the spar. Once Reaper reached the clearing, he let out a summoning howl. He was eager to see who would show up this time. He wanted another clean, friendly, fight. A test of skills. The raven flew down and landed to perch on Reaper's shoulders, keeping an eye out for anyone who might appear.

It wasn't the most surprising thing in the world that she hadn't won the first fight she'd engaged in against someone who wasn't part of her immediate family, but that didn't mean she was entirely happy with the outcome. Just participating wasn't good enough for her - she needed to win, to excel at every fight she did. That's why she didn't hesitate when she heard a familiar call sounding throughout the Boneyard.

A slight grin appearing on her lips, she made her way to the source of the sound. It was the opponent who'd beat her not long ago. She'd done a little training since then, though she wasn't sure if it was enough. She had to try though to be certain. This time she'd brought her cat companion along with her, the still-unnamed grey cat moving quietly alongside her. The girl gave Reaper a small nod. "Name's Hattori Seiko, by the way. I don't think I caught yours last time. Are you up for a round two?" Giving the not-quite-stranger a respectful nod, she sank back slightly into a defensive position, ready for him to initiate if he chose to.

Reaper noticed a familiar pelt come into view not long after his summoning call. Moloch let out a warning caw towards the stranger. Reaper gave them a welcoming nod and smile. "Nice to see you again." He told the pup. She told him his name to which he committed to memory. "Hattori Seiko. Got it." He muttered. "My name is Reaper Malice Bloodjaw. You can call me Reaper for short." He told the younger wolf. "I am up for another round. Just like last time, a clean fight." He replied back to her question regarding the fight. "Moloch will stay out of it." He motioned to the raven, who hopped off his shoulders and went to perch on a nearby skull that was halfway buried into the earth.

Reaper got ready in his defenses. His hackles raised, he tucked his chin to protect his vitals, his stance widened slightly for balance. He gave a nod to the younger wolf. "Ready?" He asked them, giving them a moment to prepare themselves.

Reaper then darted forwards with great speed. He would shoot forwards, his white maws splayed open and sought the shoulder of the young wolf. He attempted to latch onto the shoulder with some force, but not enough to draw blood. He had to bend down some for this, given she was not fully grown.

The smile was tentatively returned, like the expression felt unnatural for her, though she did want to be perceived as polite and friendly enough. She wouldn't consider giving Tojo-Kai a bad name otherwise. "It's nice to meet you again, Reaper." Scrutinizing him closely, she put the name into memory and decided she wouldn't forget it. It was the first wolf that wasn't family she'd fought before, and she thought she'd learned a lot from that fight.

Now it was time to see how she'd improved since their last spar. Seiko nodded in understanding, agreeing with the other man's terms. She was glad to see his raven was willing to stay out of the fight, unsure how she'd handle such an addition. Focusing on one wolf was enough for the child for now. "Ready," she confirmed, setting her defenses further, as best as she could. Her paws evened, trying to stabilize herself as she waited for Reaper to strike.

Unsure where he was aiming, she didn't have the opportunity to fully anticipate his attack. His bite went for her shoulder, and though she tried to twist around and away from the attack she came up just short. Her opponent's teeth landed there, and she flinch back slightly, though tried to hold strong. Instead of admitting defeat so easily despite the grip he had on her, she too parted her jaws and aimed for the side of his face, the angle given to her with how he had to bow down to reach her shoulder.

Reaper's attack at been successful in landing on the shoulder of the younger wolf. He had a firm grip, careful not to draw blood like last time. He squeezed down with his grip but yet again was careful not to draw blood. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Seiko aim for the side of his face. Immediately Reaper would relinquish his grip and pull his face back away from her incoming maws. This was not without harm, his nose had been pinched in the process. He snorted and shook his head for a second before diving back into the fray. His maws splayed open and sought the muzzle of Seiko in attempt to finely grasp it within his white maws.

Though her opponent's attack had landed squarely, she wasn't about to forfeit so easily - even if such an attack in a serious fight, the sort of fight where there were real stakes, might mean she was bound to lose. Seiko's position allowed her to reach the side of Reaper's face and he let go of where his bite had landed. Success. Well - maybe it wasn't a success, but it meant she wasn't about to get pinned down so quickly. She had to put up a better fight than that. Teeth bared as he went for her face, eyes widening as his jaws clamped down on her muzzle. She reacted as quickly as she could, jerking backwards - though she wasn't sure she'd be successful. If she was able to get away, she'd aim to lunge forward again, hoping to grab hold of his own muzzle.
