Aten gave a little chuckle taking no stance at all "I have only the best of course and that would be avoidance I pride myself greatly in it." Aten watched Bura carefully wondering when he would make his moving staying calm knowing that something would be coming soon. "But you know I always have the drunken boxing but I would prefer not to train that one for the sake that I cant control it if I were to get started. Which is why I'm a very weird drunk, but I could never get that side of me to come out with Azura so thats good."

He made a dash for his lef side, kicking for his right side, at the same time going for a head but to the face... He moved quick as lightening, with no hesitation, tensing or anything. One second he was standing there, the next he was in motion already hitting you
Aten followed him with his eyes and slowly dodged all the attacks and embraced him into a hug wrapping his arms around him and placing a finger to the back of his neck "Head you left the head butt out of that you might have actually been able to see where I was moving to counter attack, you wouldn't be going easy on me now would you Bura? After all if this was a real fight you would be dead." Aten flicked him in the back of the head and stepped back to face him again getting into the same no stance stance he had before.
Aten just stood there closing his eyes listening for sound of where he went since his eyes were off guard and didn't follow him, he let his body go limp and waited. He heard him coming from the left but he didn't know from where. He continued to wait until he would strike.
Aten watch him come from the left side and took the hit he didn't make a sound but his feet started to slide on the ground from the impact. He stood there and looked over at Bura "Your not just going to stand there now are you? You should be showing your opponent no mercy you should either keep attacking or back away so which will you do Bura?" Aten gave a little giggle it had been awhile since he had a fight with someone as fast as him.
He smiled and continued to attack, rainging blows all over seemingly at once, his speed remarkable...His power was overwhelming as well, but it was the speed at which he struck that was the most devastating, because he could strike 5 places simultaneously, and only use on hand.
Aten felt himself being pushed back at an enormous rate taking at hit as they struck him slowly being to feel the wear on his body. It was time for his counter attack Aten raise his foot quickly and brought it down on the earth feeling its shake and shatter under his feet. The earth was beginning to look as if it wanted to break in two. Aten looked down as it began to open under Bura "Well I had better move if i were you Bura"
Aten started to giggle as he begun to hit pressure points "Those wont work on me Bura you were better off with punches." Aten put a well place finger at the bottom back part of his ear and two under his jaw in one rapid movement applying pressure on a rapid scale. "Pressure point are ment to be held for restrainment not to damage. Now now Bura your acting sloppy here just who is teaching who?"
Bura didnt smile "They put her in the prison while she was pregnant, she wouldnt fight them incase they harmed her, harming the child... Then when Asur was born, they put her Back in the prison, to work as a seamstress. A great warrior of their kind, and they trap her and make her do meanial work. She could still kick any humans ass, ive seen a huge guy that wanted her as a mate come by, and instead of letting me crush him, she thought itd be funnier if she did... and boy did she... thats how we met really, she was training, and i had been hiding, and when the guys had come to get her, i had stupidly jumped out to scare them... but they werent scared. So she beat the crap out of them and smiled at me. Funny how things like that work... " he said with a small chuckle
Aten looked up to the sky "It's getting dark Azura is probably up and worried about where I am since she didn't see me after she woke up at all god knows as soon as she starts going she wont listen to anyone, so lets head back shall we? Im sure you want to show Sei just how much you love her." Aten gave him a hinting wink and picked up his invisible ax and headed off towards home "You coming?"
He chuckled at Atens invisble ax. "Yea yea, ima comin... And you dont think poor Azura would freak out that badly, do you...?" he asked, sounding moderately concerned.
Azura had woken with Asur, and when she realized it was dark out, she did become very worried. But what worried her more was the storm that was brewing quickly. There were small flashes in the towering clouds from the moutain, the deep rumbling thunder making her cringe slightly. Sei had Asur in her arms, the child falling asleep quickly again, but Azura was up and staying that way. The rain started after a little bit, falling fast and hard against the houses. A very large lightening bolt came streaking across the sky, the thunder shaking the earth. She put her hands over her ears and tried her hardest to think of something else, but after the big one, she was done. ~ATEN!~ she yelled over the mental link, hoping he would come soon.... She couldnt block all the thoughts of the village with the storm going on, even though she was trying. Sei came into the room lightling a lamp and became concerned. "Azura, are you-? Oh my..." she said as she noticed her nose bleeding...

Aten heard the mental scream in his head all he managed to say was "Bura HOME NOW" He took off running as fast as he could, getting there in a flash not bothering to check if Bura was still behind him. He ran on inside and grabbed Aruza and placed on ear against his chest sitting down not caring he was basically soak and placing his wrist tightly over her ear "Listen to only my heart, the blood flowing through my veins there is nothing else going on just concentrate only on that" Aten was thinking it to her know he would be heard.
She had her eyes closed and she was thinking of only that, trying to block out everything else out, but another streak lit the sky as the thunder crashed and shook the ground, she gave a shudder, her nose still bleeding... Sei was in the other room trying to comfort a screaming Asur, as Bura came in a few seconds slower then Aten, looking around wildly. He saw what was going on, and looked outside. "Get her out of here, can you do that?" he asked, willing to run to the desert with them to make sure she was safe.
"Im not sure if I can get her there quick enough before she explodes, but anyways that wasn't my plan now that your here take care of your family ok? Im going to run away from the storm even if it leads away from the desert ok? If I dont make it back in awhile im probably dead somewhere, should that happen look after her and everyone else ok?" Aten picked up Azura and headed of luckily the storm was headed towards the desert and he ran off before anyone could have their say. He made his way quickly still unsure if he would make it knowing that bringing her out into the storm wasn't the best of choices.
The storm was still on their tails, lightening bolts actually hitting the outskirts of the desert... This was the one storm a year that swept over the desert... She was trying to breathe, but it was getting difficult, but as they got away from the village more, she started to do a bit better.. At least her nose stopped bleeding. She was shaking and everytime a strike fell and shook the ground, she gave a small squeek, cringing more... She was usually underground when these storms swept the land, and in her cavern she stayed practically oblivious to the storm itself... About halfway through the desert the storm started to disippate and break apart...By the time they were well into the desert, the storm had completely dissipated, no more rain to fuel its rains, no more cool air to fuel the winds, only the warm sands and the desert sun breaking through the clouds. She was well unconscience by now, her breathing regular, if not a bit shallow, and what little colour she had gained from before had left her again. Just up ahead, far more west then their home, or the forest, or anywhere else, there was a shimmering sort of formation, green, that looked as if it could be an oaisis, not a little ways away. Palm trees and song birds, and lizards lived there around a cool pool of crystal spring water, fueled from the very stream that ran through their cave, and it continued in a small stream back underground, and all the way out to the ocean, that was far more west.
As soon as he saw that they had gotten far enough from the storm he slowly down coming to a hault Placing Azura down carefully. He sat down beside her laying back looking at the night sky his eyes falling closed as he drifted off to sleep exhausted from running so far and so quickly even if he wanted to go make it to the house he wasn't going to be able to. His arms gave out and his body fell limp to the ground his mind fluttered in and out, the only way you would be able to tell he was still alive was by his chest rising and falling every so often.
She was out for quite a while, almost the better part of a day before she stirred, mumbling something in her sleep and moving to rest an arm on his chest... she was right out exhausted, still very pale.. It was becomeing nightfall again.
In the town, Bura had gathered a few of the stronger demons, and they were going to try and find out where the two of them were, and so the best trackers, and the fastest runners went out into the desert to find them... it would take them at least 3 days to find them

Aten hadn't moved since he had fallen asleep and knew even thought that he's out cold that even if had wanted to move he wouldn't be able to since he had actually got to the point in which he had pushed himself that he tore his muscles apart. His mind was running circles around his emotions since he wasn't sure how everything had turned out for Azura, much less he had no idea how much time had passed and she couldn't see not even though his eyes. Aten groaned a little inside just wanting to be able to wake up and hold her tightly if everything was ok.
She moved slowly, waking up.. "...Aten...? Wh-where are we...?" she asked, looking around, not able to see.... she didnt like the darkness, it was too scarey after getting so used to Atens vision... She felt around a bit and felt him under her fingertips, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Aten? Are you ok?" she asked, moving slowly to a sitting position to run her fingers gently over him to 'see' if anything was hurt... she felt so many tore muscles... a tear slid down her cheek...
The demons were making fast time, and had found the scent and were fast on their way to the oasis, taking less time now that they had a solid trail. Bura estimated that the time would be less, considering the scent was stronger now, even washed away from the rain, the sand held it... mostly the scent they picked up had been of Azuras blood.. One of the trackers yelled to Bura that he saw somehting in the distance, a sort of gathering of trees, of sorts... They started heading there, about a few hours away from it, half a day at most.

Aten heard the cries of his loved one and was unsure what to do he tried to move but his body wouldn't listen to him its as if his mind had no power in it and all he could do was think to himself not even enough for anyone to notice, it was like being dead to the world he didnt like it, all he wanted was to be able to open his eyes and see the one he loved most even if it was for the last time. He tried and struggled one more time to get anything to move but alas it was impossible for him and he had no idea why, just what had happened to him before he passed out.
