Tatsuo was caught off guard by Rin's sudden attack. Though he would be lying if he said he wasn't slightly impressed by her speed. But that is beneath the anger that began swelling up inside. All he could hear was white noise as she lectured him. He narrowed his eyes on her, and glared intensely at her. As she turned away from him he stared at the sky for a moment before he burst out into laughter. He then leaped up off the ground, and then held his side from laughing so hard. "You know, my dad had a old saying...."
"EARTH DRAGON HAMMER!" He shouted as he stomped on the ground, and a pillar of earth shot up from the ground, and struck Rin in her stomach. As she staggered back he moved his left arm underneath her's, and grabbed her by the neck. Then he lifted her up slightly, and choke slammed her to the ground. "EARTH DRAGON VICE GRIP!" He shouted as the ground began to liquefy, and overtake Rin. It left all but her head encased in earth. "EARTH DRAGON DIAMOND FIST!" Tatsuo whirled up for a punch as his arm covered itself in rock. Within mere inches of Rin's face Tatsuo stopped.
"You want respect, you gotta earn it." Tatsuo said as his arm returned to normal. "You get one free shot, next time I'm gonna take your head off." He said as he stomped his foot on the ground, causing her to shoot up from the ground, and onto her feet. "Come on, let's go and get this over with." Tatsuo ordered as he turned away from Rin, and started his way out of town, and towards where the job was. But before he was off he broke off a piece of the rock pillar he used on Rin, and began munching on it.
