[ The scene is familiar to most of the Shuten Clan at this point. It's Toraguma's office at the Arena, the wall behind his desk covered in ornate and fancy looking weapons, as well as a giant sake gourd kept in a glass case right behind his chair. It was the symbol of the clan's namesake, the legendary magic gourd of his former master.

Toraguma himself looks... sweaty. Like he's just come from a workout. Or was just eating himself into a sweat, again, as he likes to do. ]

Listen up, you dogs!

[ Oh, and he's yelling, that's familiar, too. ]

The Night Parade is gonna be happening at the beginning of next month!

As you've seen from all the work you've been doing so far, it's a pretty big fuckin' deal! And I want MY guys to show our pride out there when the celebrations start!

We're gonna have a sumo ring set up, and I want all of you guys to muscle up and show this city your mettle! Prizes to those who win, obviously, but if any one with Shuten Clan credentials loses a match, I'm gonna dock your fuckin' pay!

[ Yeah, that sounds about right. ]

And remember to have fun, damnit!

Quit barking.

[ The words come in a cold snap, rather than his usual heated shouts. ]

If you want to come for my throat, then do it. Stop talking about it and just do it.

I shall! And by the end of it all you will be left unable to sit for a whole day... nay, a whole week!

[She wrinkles her nose at him and was already on the move to find him- wherever he is right now. If he wants to get all huffy and depressed on her right now, then the banana oni is going to just have to whoop his butt until he admits his wrongs and treats Shuten and herself like they should have been!

Candy! Meat! Sake! Pretty men and women to wait on them in terror as the oni laugh! Just like in the old days. Only, you know, after Iba-chan beats Tora raw and show him his place.]

And you'd best not hide! Lest I also bring Shuten in to settle things.

[Double the trouble and all that.]

I have no reason to hide from you.

[ Said pretty definitively. ]

But we both know how this is gonna end.

[ And it really didn't make him at all happy to say that. ]

With your blue butt a bright red and swollen!

[Yeah, excuse her as she sets out looking for his office. Probably causing a ruckus as she makes a warpath towards him, yelling at the top of her lungs, stopping only to grab an iron club.

She's not cleaning up any mess that might be made as an aside.]

[ He motions for his guards to just let her bust right in when she finally reaches the door. He has to prove a point here, much as he'd rather wished he didn't need to. There was no joy in this sort of fight...

She'll find him standing in front of his desk, jacket off and sleeves rolled up. He's not even brandishing a weapon, despite all the ones he can choose from on display.

He waits in silence for her to take the first blow. ]

[There was yells and heavy, heavy pounding on the doors, like some huge giant was working on breaking them down and tearing them to splinters...!

Bang... bang... bang... crack!

Pieces of wood go flying all over the darn place as a heavy, iron rod busts through them, breaking them down in a fantastic display of brute strength.

Here's Ibaraki!

...She's also smol and resting the rod in question on her shoulders. All three eyes glaring daggers at Toraguma, mind kind of gone right now and clouded in anger with the sole purpose of beating the big man black and blue... or black and purple? Mah, it was hard to think about things like that right now. Instead she rushes towards him rod swinging up towards his torso!

Or trying because she small he large. Iba-chan is undaunted at that fact though.]

[ Toraguma just lifts his hand and... catches the blow. It doesn't even seem to register as heavy, to him, or that it had any force behind it at all. It was as if he caught a pen being tossed his way; effortless and eased. ]

I'm feeling charitable... take a few more tries.

[ He pushed the rod back, and despite how small the movement was, it had enough force to send the weapon flying back. It'd likely break Ibaraki's wrist if she insisted on holding onto it. ]

[She lets go of it as soon as it flies out of her hand. Growling like a rabid animal, fist flashing up towards his solar plexus.

It's a feint though, her other hand instead flashes out. Long claws and powerful grip reaching to grab hold of his soft, vulnerable man bits. Because really that was realistically the only actual place she was going to reach. And one of the few that was probably the most vulnerable.

There was no real thought behind her actions though beyond anger and the desire to rip and tear even if she's a bloodied mess.]

RRRRAAAHHHHH!!!!

[ Again, Toraguma seemed to just casually take the hit, first, the fabric of his clothes shredding but his skin being more akin to iron. That was only one blow, though, as the next, he caught her wrist and hoisted her up, sighing. ]

Are you done?

[No... does he not have... no....

Ah- hello sir. You have very beautiful eyes.

Her answer comes in a snarl kicking with one, equally clawed foot and her other hand lashing out again, this time fixing to jam them right up his nose. Hooking them in as she makes the attempt to grab and tear at it.

Still kicking, scratching, and even attempting to bite him with those sharp teeth of hers.]

[ Yeah, that was it. Whether she was "done" or not, he certainly was. His other hand grabbed her other wrist, easily pulling it away from his face. With the twist of his hip, he swung her, and then just... tossed her right into the wall.

Actually, those words almost don't do it justice. It was more like she was a baseball, and he just decided to give the wall the heater. The force was tremendous, enough that it probably would have shattered bones of anyone else... it might still shatter some of hers. The stone walls had no give to offer, either. Their surface was flat, cold, and unforgiving. ]

Enough!

[The breath gets slammed out of her chest as she hits the wall and kind of... bounces off of it like a rubber ball.

She could feel a shoulder dislocate and potentially one or two ribs fracture at the impact. Ibaraki is lucky she's as durable as she is, otherwise she'd probably end up with a few fractured vertebra and skull. Gasping, vision floating and ears ringing, it takes a moment for the Berserker to pick herself up.

But she does so, still seeing ready and stumbling towards him.]

To.Ra.Gu.Ma!!!

[Again she growls, not minding her injuries. She was probably suffering a concussion as well.]

[ Toraguma lets out a heavy sigh, closing the distance between them and...

Reaching his leg back to drive a kick into Ibaraki's torso, as if she were a soccer ball, once more with enough force to send her to the wall. The two guards winced. ]

[She moves to stumble out of the way and go to tackle his other leg in turn. Fists pounding as hard as they could at his knee. Maybe he was old enough that he had joint problems???? That doesn't actually occur to her.

Teeth flashing to dig into his thighs. She's not done, and isn't going to give in just yet. Not when she still has to give him the spanking he deserves! Even less when her own sanity wasn't really there right now.]

Take your punishment!

[ Another sigh, this time he grabs her by one of her horns, yanking her off and once more tossing her at the wall. ]

You couldn't punish a mouse, as you are now...

[She hits the wall with another crash. Blacking out for a few seconds, gasping and breathing hard as her already fractured ribs became worse. Slowly, she began to pick herself up again.]

As your superior... [A cough, wheeze and three eyes looking up at him blearily and unfocused.] ...i's ma job t'beat ya. Fo' not say hi....

[Knees and arms shake as her concussion made the world spin nausiatingly.]

'am gon spank you....
