Mai laughed, a velvety, gentle sound that reached the farthest corners of the building.
"Very good, Onesan. Just what I had in mind."
The younger girl danced back a few more steps while she reached for the sword strapped to her back. holding it in front of her, she bowed to the guild mistress before straighening her back and waiting for her sister.

*Sierra's eyes dance with expectation as she takes the cloak from about her shoulders and orbs it away. Her right hand moves to her side and carressing the hilt of her short sword she draws it from the sheath. The blade sings as she swings it through the air in a gracefull overhead arch. The arena lights glint off it in a blinding flash as she swings it around a few times loosening up her muscles.
She knew she didn't have to declare what weapons she had on her. Her sister knew of the 4 daggers and the demon sword and another sword like blade that was shethed neatly at her spine.
She moved into her ready stance her gaze resting on Mai expectantly as she called out to her, the silken carress of her own voice mixing with that of her sisters in the broken silence.*
"First move imouto? It is yours if you wish it..."

*brushes a lock of hair out of his eyes and casts a sidelong glance in the direction of the arena floor, slowly bringing the pen in his hands to his lips and putting his song on hold to watch the bout*

Mai smiled, her head tilted slightly and her sword held seemingly carelessly at her side. her eyes followed her onesan's hands, watching with a calculating stare. Her grey eyes flashed as she glanced towards her sister's eyes.
"No, Onesan. You get the first move."
the younger girl shifted her weight and her grip on her weapon as she waited patiently.

*Sierra laughed, a light melodious sound that was almost chime-like. It echoed through the arena as she nodded. Bowing gracefully to the younger woman, she swept upwards and rushed forward at the same time. She moved with great agility and her sword held firmly before her chest as she moved forward in a crimson blur. As she neared the girl she took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with excitement.
She knew that taking the offensive had put her at a disadvantage, and she had a few ideas on how to take her sister's advantage away. She brings her sword up in an overhead swipe, the blade moving as if it were just another part of her. As she faked the attack she waited until the last second to let the a long slender dagger to slide from it's sheath on her left wrist. Not wanting to injure her sister right off the bat she brings it up hilt-wards and with a fair amount of force aim's the blow at Mai's gut, hoping to wind her while she fought off the overhead attack.*

The girl sidestepped, snapping her blade up to block the dagger as she reached backwards for her other sword. Swinging the second blade above her, she caught the blow from her sister's sword, a tingling sensation flowing down her arm as she realized the sword was ill placed, a bit farther to the left than she had wished. Pushing on the sword in her right hand, the younger girl forced her sister's sword back away from her body, her eyes trained on the dagger, as she pushed that away as well. With a final push, she stepped back, sparing breath for a laugh as she took up a defensive position.
"Again, sister dear!"

Yawns, staring at both with no surprise, a dead look in his eyes tells you he's not amused.
"Sleeeeepy! ;___;"
Closes his eyes, falling face first onto the ground slowly, his butt sticking up in the air.

*She laughs as her sister struggles slightly to force her back. What would happen if she utilized some of that inhuman strength she possesed to back up her strikes. She decided that even though Mai was a vampire it might shorten the match and she didn't want that. She was enjoying this, a part of her seemed to come alive when her hand was on the hilt of a sword or gripping any weapon for that matter.
As the vampiress sidestepped Sierra's foot swept out beneath her. Catching at her ankles to trip her, Sierra lunged forward on an angle and brought her two blades around from opposite directions. Her sister was unbalanced and tripping her would cause her to stumble... she might be able to block one of the blades but blocking both was unlikely. The question was... which was more valuable to her right now... Her right shoulder or her left leg and side.
She watches the tension in her muscles carefully seeing which she would react to faster and always ready to block herself from an unforseen advance.*

The younger girl screamed as she stumbled, but the scream was one of frustration rather than fright. Going limp, the girl dropped to the floor, twisting to land on her back. She decided to block the older girl's sword and brought up one of her own. Her other blade was trapped beneath her, a product of her twisting during her fall.
Then, she had an idea. Murmering a spell, the girl smirked and dissappeared from under her sister's blades, the sword she had held high clattering to the floor. Her laughter rang around the building, high and clear, but with no source to be seen. And then the girl could be seen again, running at her sister's back with one sword and a short dirk in her hand, soft footfalls sounding. the girl knew almost no one could hear her, but her sister could. At the last second, she dropped, the blow meant for the older girl's shoulder now aimed for the back of her leg. Mai had the dirk ready to block any blow her sister might devise.

*Sierra freezes as the girl vanishes, drawing her blade back in towards her in a defensive stance she waits for Mai to reappear. Her long pointed ears twitching as the soft sound of footsteps in suddenly heard rushing towards her back. Sierra smirks to herself.
Her imouto has cast the first spell and now she would reap the retalliation of the elven woman. Her eyes arch and glow almost as if a brilliant golden fire flares to life. Her pupils drowning out into the brilliance of the yellow flames. She whispers an incantation and her spell circle blazes beneath her feet. The bright red light criss crossing the dirt floor. As it closes power floods through the room, raising the hair on the arms and necks of anyone present.
Her power pulses through the air in an almost scalding rush of energy, burning along their skin and biting at them like hundreds of hot pokers. It made the air seem thin, like her enrgy was replacing it to the point of where it felt as if you reached out, you'd be able to run your hand along it. This slight release of power summoned forth a huge ball of electromagnetic energy that cracked through the air about her. Leaping from her slender figure to the outstreched blade in her imouto's hands*

With another shriek of rage, Mai dropped her outstretched sword. That was two blades, and the battle was just beginning. She felt singed, as if she had come too close to a hated fire. She snarled, magic would fight magick now. Pushing away from the floor, she bounded back a few steps and studied her sister.
"This has turned to a magic battle, sister. Most of my blades are gone. But I'm still strong enough to summon my own magic."
The younger girl doubled over, as if in pain, the dirk clutched to her chest. She screamed suddenly as two fine black wings appeared, the ebony interrupted but a scattering of crimson. The feathers shifted as the wings stretched and the girl straightened. The dirk had been stashed in her boot, replaced by a dagger. The girl closed her eyes, and hoved a few feet off the ground. The tingling sensation that had been experienced before was back as the young mage cast a shield of shadows.
"Catch me if you can!"
The girl dissappeared with a smile into the shadows as they spread, blocking out the lights.
