Is It Time Yet?
Her only response to him would be a shrug of her shoulders as she moved away from him. He turned to watch her walk away, had he offended her? No, perhaps not. She turned around to face him, her defenses set. It seemed she would test him here and now...he supposed that was acceptable, she must have really wanted someone to start training them. Rising to his paws, the taller man faced her. His gaze studied her for a good moment, and noted her stance. It was obvious enough that she couldn't entirely support herself on her damaged leg, an advantage he had over her.
He stared at her, unmoving for a long moment. The only sound between them was the rippling of the water as the wind blew across it. The sound of singing crickets uttered somewhere in the darkness, and the occasional splash from a fish leaping from the depths for it's dinner. Then it was without warning, the serpent struck. With blinding speed, Kakashi charged to close the gap, darting off to his right for a brief moment before pivoting on a dime, front half of his body lowered since she was shorter then he was, as his left shoulder sought to ram into her left flank and capsize the woman. If her leg was as useless as it looked, then he should have no problem in dropping her into the dust. His hind stance was square, as his head snaked towards her rump to seize a mouthful of flesh and further push her downwards. Was he fighting dirty? Perhaps. But he did warn her that he would use her weakness against her, just as he did all opponents.
