The blow to her jaw threw her backward, and Reji hit the wall. She was bruised, but not broken, and she ran forward again with her other knife raised. Her target was his shoulder.

Rico pushed his shoulder into the arc of the blade, the knife plunged deep into his muscle and sinew. It was a small wound but deep, he grinned manically at her as his face was inches from hers. He clenched his teeth so hard the gums split around his canines and a thin trickle of blood spilled out over his bottom lip and down his chin. He began to giggle gently, a manical look causing his eyes to flash dangerously. His head reeled back and he ploughed his forehead towards her nose. He slid his knife back down her other knife and plunged it towards her thigh. All 15 inches of the blade flashing like a lightening strike.

[Sorry...]
Reji felt the knife embed itself in her thigh, and pain sprang up in her mind. With a sharp grunt, she took hold of his wrist and pushed it up, trying to get the knife out while her own weapon was going for his arm.

[I'd just rather not get left behind. Dx I can't post until Panix has, and I feel as if we're getting left behind somewhat...xP (Even if there are basically two separate battles raging^^)]

Panix stumbled as he passed by the girl, missing his lunge, and he wheeled around and swung his arm in an upward arc, from the behind to the front, and bending his elbow between the asencion and the desencion. The girl's kick was deflected by Panix's falling elbow, and he managed to birng both knives up and tried to block her attack with the knives, but the left knife was knocked away, sent flying across the street. Panix pushed back, and looked around. He spotted his machette- it was closer to him then her, now that he had lunged passed her. He dove for his 'chette, throwing Bird's knife at her.

Damn. It was a split-second descision, with two choices- dive for the machette and get herself stabbed, or dodge and reclaim one of her knives. Needless to say, Bird chose to dodge the knife, throwing herself to the ground in a roll.
Getting back to her feet, her eyes flicked to the knife, which was - argh - now closer to Panix. Determined not to let him get another weapon, she rolled once more, picking up the knife as she went. Now with a knife in each hand, she felt slightly safer, though was annoyed that she'd been careless enough to let the Cat re-grab his weapon. With a muttered oath, the rat kicked again, though this time she added a punch at the same time. Hopefully he wouldn't see either, would get kicked in his crazy head, and this would end soon. Yeah, that'd be nice.
Unfortunately, she somehow doubted that it would happen.

Panix's fingers closed around the handle of the 'chette, and he hit the ground. He quickly rolled away and jumped to his feet as a foot went by his head- he had just barely dodged the kick, and he wished he could say the same about the punch. The fist connected with his chest, and he was knocked back and a bit winded. He recovered quickly, and jumped back a step. He readied himself, calculating- not his strong suite, but he thought this time he had done fairly well. When the gril attacked, he would try to counter, then run into the dark alleyway. He would use his almost supernatural nack for stealth to hide in the alley, and find the perfect spot for attacking the girl. Just when he was about to execute his plan, he heard a whizzing noise, and he turned in the direction. Then, he strafed towards the alley, as a crowbar spun through the air where his head was. Panix hid well in the shadows, but was upset that he couldn't stun the girl before fleeing to the shadows- Sharky had decided to come back, and was running over to his crowbar.
Sharky picked up his weapon and looked to the girl, and at the other two, busy duelling.
"I thought they might try and pick on some more Rats, so I decided to come back. Need a hand?"

Rico flung his arm up in a fist, smashing into her forearm as she arced it down with her blade. Her struggling against the knife in her thigh only caused Rico to push it in further. He grinned manically and then snapped out of his prey drive as another appeared. Another Rat. Him and Panix would loose this and Rico didn't feel like dying today.
He curled his hand around his knife and yanked it straight from her leg and he turned on his heel to distance himself from her blades. He slinked back into the shadows so only half his face was visible and he hissed out
"...Watch yourselves...you better sleep with one eye open " and he dissapeared from their veiw, grabbing Panix and beginning to high tail it between the alleyways.

Reji got to her feet and limped over to the wall. She was bleeding a lot, but otherwise fine, since she was used to fighting this way. "Well, we kind of needed some help, but they've run off like scared little kitties."

Aderyn let a genuine smile cross her face, though it was gone within moments. She hadn't smiled - really smiled - in nearly a year now, and it was a comforting gesture to practice now and then. But hey, this situation deserved some recognition - they had escaped mostly intact, after all, something she had thought, at first, was not possible.
"Excellent timing," the Rat told Sharky with a nod, stretching. She was going to feel the fight for days, though no one but her needed to know that. Giving the retreating backs of the two Wildcats a scathing look, she shook her head. "Pussycats," she muttered. "Of course, it's better for us, but still - I'd heard the Wildcats had a little more backbone than that."
She shrugged, then, wincing as the movement made her shoulder twinge. Yes, she was deffinitely going to be feeling this tomorrow. And probably the day after that as well. Though hopefully she'd get over it by then...and hopefully she'd left a few scars for Panix to remember her by.
A somewhat evil-looking smile crossed the Rat's face then, and she hoped that his wounds would take longer to heal than hers. Looking to the other rats, she realized that she was still unsure of their names, though she could tell that they were both commoners. Hey, at least she knew the facepaints of her tribe and most of those whistle-things, if not the names of the actual members. You had to start somewhere, right?
"Hey - I don't seem to know either of your names. Mind sharing?" she asked, retrieving her third knife. "I'm A- Bird, by the way, or if you want my - uh - birth name, Aderyn."

Reji smiled politely. "My name is Lightning, and my birth name is Reji." She pushed her long black hair from her face and leaned against the wall.

Sharky grinned. "Just call me Sharky for now. But, hey, this kitty here... the one who ran into the alleyway? I've seen him go crazy. He won't cool off for a long time. We'd better watch ourselves, 'cause he can be real quiet. We won't know what hit us." He turned toward the alley way, and scanned it as best he could. Panix flattened himself against a wall, hiding behind a pile of rotten wood crates. Sharky couldn't see him.
"Oh. Guess I was wrong. Looks like he left after all." Sharky said, dissapointed. "Man. I missed all the action."

Aderyn shrugged, entirely unsympathetic as far as Sharky's last statement went. "Hey, I would gladly trade you some of my bruises," she told him, sounding somewhat amused now that the fight was over. "Fighting's fun, sure - I just wish you could automatically heal or something once you were done."
She shrugged again, before following Sharky's look down the alleyway. She saw nothing out of the ordinary, though there were also plenty of hiding spaces - or at least places that couldn't be seen from this angle - that would be easy to slip into at a second's notice.
"I wouldn't be so sure that he's left, if you know him well enough to be sure that he would normally stay," she cautioned. "But unless you want to do a thorough check of the alley, I suggest that we leave, just in case Panix has stayed, for whatever pointless reason." She turned away, heading back down the street. With a glance over her shoulder, the rat added, "Come or stay, it's up to you."

Sharky grimaced. He looked at his CD player. It was playing Demon & Wizards, but on a very low setting so he could hear the conversation. He turned it off, and followed after Bird.
"I'm goin', I'm goin'..." Sharky passed by Lightning. "How about you?"
Panix looked around him. There was a way onto the roof from here, even though ther was an awning over this part of the alley. Some flying debris had long ago knocked a hole in the awning, small, but Panix figured he could fit through it. He peeked around the crates, and couldn't see them. He could still hear them though, and that was good. He put his 'chette away. Then, he stood up, and climbed onto the top of the crates. They began to totter. He quickly jumped across to the other side of the alley, and threw a hand up, grabbing the edge of the hole in the awning. He began to pull himself up, and the crates fell over with a crash, sending splintered wood out into the street.
Sharky jumped at the crash, and turned, holding his crowbar like a bat. He began to walk slowly toward the alleyway again, and peeked into the alley, but Panix had pulled himself onto the awning.
"I knew it. I wish I knew what he was going to do next, though."

Rico looked up at the smaller boy as he scampered up the wall over the crates which crashed down after him. Rico threw a desperate look up at Panix and then cursed.
"...Panix you little bastard ! " he turned at the dead end in the alleyway and scraped his baseball bat along the floor and spun around to face the open alleyway and the shadow moving down it. Rico tightened his grip. He was a cornered wild cat and he was ready to kill.

Reji nodded, sheathing her knives and sliding them back into the deep pockets of her cargos. Her leg, and all the rest of her hurt a little less now. She'd live. "I'm going." She jumped a bit at the crash, but then shrugged. She'd done her part, and if anyone dared fight her now they'd be digging their own grave.

Panix you little bastard!!
"I heard that!" Panix whispered. The Rats were leaving now. Panix slid himself to the edge of the awning and leaned over it, outstretching a hand to Rico.
"Grab my hand, I'll help you up. We can finish this like true Cats: Stalk the prey and take them by suprise."

Rico looked up and grinned his pearly whites at his fellow Wildcat. Being the bigger boy, considerably bigger boy he had some trouble working his way up the wall but he managed it with Panix help. Clapping him gently upon the back Rico hefted his bat and crouched low. His eyes glinting dangerously.
"...It's time to start a hunt "
