Feitan waits in the usual spot of the village he always meets up with Velvet. Wearing a slightly modified Iwagakure attire in which the only abnormality lies in the indigo dark colours of it instead of the usual brown and red, the Dark user sits on a near rock and meditates.

Without warning a quick strike is made against the back of the meditating Feitan. The strike is in the form of an open palm strike that is coated in dark chakra, and the assailant is none other than Velvet. She had arrived off in the distance(behind Feitan) not to long ago and had spotting Feitan on top of the rock waiting for her to show. Velvet had kept him waiting for quite some time so she thought what better way to make up for it than to perform a little sneak attack to get the blood flowing.
The deep meditation was abruptly interrupted by a sound of movement which immediately alerted Feitan into standing up and reacting to it. A strike from Velvet with dark chakra around her arms. Could scream trouble, so he chose the safe route by jumping away and hurling two kunais in the direction of Velvet.
"Quite lively aren't we, Velvet?"
"Quite lively aren't we, Velvet?"
The strike misses though she knew it would never had landed. As the kunai's are thrown at her and upon entering arms length she simple grabs the hilt of them, one with each hand and takes them as her own while giving off a smile. "Sorry to keep you waiting. Thought this would make up for it. Velvet puts the two kunias into her pouch and begins walking over to Feitan still keeping her palms coated in dark chakra. Upon reaching three or so meters from him she gives a slight nod telling him to also cover his palms. "Lets begin with the basics shall we?" Without warning Velvet lunges forwards to perform a strike to his stomach where if made contact she would follow up with a open palm strike to the back of his neck as he leans forwards from the previous blow. The first strike would be at normal speed while the second would be slightly faster.
Feitan kept a motionless stance and his gloomy expression did not change either. Though, he was really glad the wait was finally over and him and Velvet were finally getting into business. Soon as Velvet stepped into short range and she nodded, Fei poured pure dark chakra from his marks. This chakra covered his hands as he got into a fighting stance, anticipating any kind of movement from Velvet. Without a warning, she lunges forward, making Feitan to immediately react into a defensive stance where he had his dark chakra coated limbs in front of his upper body, as that's where Velvet's strike seemed to be aimed. Though, he calculated in his mind that one hand would be enough to stop her strike. That said, Feitan used the left in order to block and the right to give Velvet a slight jab to the side of her neck.
One thing which Feitan though was that Velvet's strike was slightly faster than before.
One thing which Feitan though was that Velvet's strike was slightly faster than before.
Her attempt at striking him was thwarted and now she had to deal with the consequences as Feitan follows up his block with a right jab aiming for her neck. Raising her left arm Velvet swings her arm in a chopping motion towards the incoming attack where her palm would strike Feitan's arm knocking it away. Though as she performs this motion she increases the speed of the strike a little more than her previous attempt to where it move at almost one and half times normal speed. The strike to Feitan would seem almost like a blur, like she never even moved. "You're too slow. You're gonna need to striker faster than that if you want to hit me." Knocking away his right arm and stopping his attack, Velvet has her left arm follow his right arm that is moving away, and grabs hold of it as she pulls him in and delivers an open palm strike to his chest with her right palm. This strike was also faster than normal, but even more faster than the strike against his right arm. In fact, it was moving at twice normal speed, making it nearly impossible to see coming.
As it appeared that Feitan's strike was going to hit her neck, something unbelievably fast intercepted it by knocking it upwards. This action generated some wind which fluxed his Iwagakure uniform. And an apparent shock in Feitan's face was inevitable, to the point he wondered how she had gotten this fast. But him thinking over this only made it worse as his knocked arm was grabbed and in the next instant he felt something heavy to his chest which appeared and disappeared in a moment. Being sent flying however, was something Feitan was used to due to his countless fighting and experience in handling these situations. Taking advantage of his flexible and small body, as he was being sent away air-bourne, he manages to deliver a upwards kick towards Velvet's chin.
Hoping he'd gotten her, Feitan flips back into his feet, roughly four meters away from Velvet. He rubbed his chest with his eyes wide open. "I know that this speed is all coming from the Dark chakra in your hands. What is wrong with mine? Am I not giving off enough chakra?" Feitan asked.

The moment the look of surprise appeared on his face when she knocked away his arm, she knew she had him. There was nothing he could do to stop her. Upon impact Feitan is sent flying but not without trying to get one last hit in as he goes. Velvet wasn't expecting it in all honesty so the upwards kick to her chin catches her off guard for a moment and takes the hit. The block knocks he backwards but she quickly regains control and looks over at Feitan who is now about four meters away. A grin could be seen creeping across her face as she rubs the top of her hand against her chin to wipe off any dirt that may have gotten on it from the kick. There was no bleeding but the blow did leave a nice little red mark. Rubbing her own chin Feitan could be seen rubbing his chest and still in a bit of shock. He calls out to her wondering what he is doing wrong. It was simple. "You want to know what is wrong with you? You are being yourself that's what. Your movements, your thoughts, everything you are doing right now is all you. If you want to move faster and striker harder you need to become something more." Velvet shifts her left leg in front of her while moving her right slightly behind while lowering her body a bit as she raises her left arm in front of her and her right arm mid way. As she does this the dark chakra surrounding her palms begin to flare up violently as the chakra begins to creep up both arms completely covering them. The chakra begins to dark and also begins to take a new form while doing so. The chakra around her palms begin to take the shape of a dragons head complete with purple eyes, fangs, scales and all, while the chakra going up her arms takes the form of their necks. "Feitan, I've spent quite some time training myself, pushing my body to its limits to get where I am now. While doing this I knew that fighting the way I have done so in the past wouldn't get me but so far. I had to change. I needed to change the way I think. Dragons are great feared creatures that posses great power and speed. I knew if I began to think like one I could eventually move like one. Quick and deadly." The grin on her face was gone and the tone in her voice changed. She was serious. If he truly wanted to grow stronger then he would need to change himself, become something even greater, become something that is feared, become something that would dominate all. "If you want to move like me then begin by trying to change the dark chakra around your palms like I have. That is your first step. Next, you will need to try working on mimicking the movements of a dragon to the point they become your own. Now when you are ready come at me."
"Become someone else?" Feitan grimaced. As it stands right now, the instructions were confusing, but hopefully Velvet would elaborate, something she did after she took a certain stance. As she did that, her dark chakra began to change into a mythical figure, that of a dragon's. Her hands looked like as if they were protected by a dragon made of dark chakra and purple eyes, fangs and scales. Then she revealed that she in fact has been training to reach a new style. What she was saying made sense to Feitan. Of course, in order to go far as a shinobi, you have to progress each day. Staying with one fighting style will get you nowhere. But that means that you need to change the way you perceive things as well; basically, what Velvet wanted to tell Feitan was to have a different perspective at viewing things. "Think like a dragon, huh?" It was true that his Meiton techniques have a lot of references to dragons. Additionally, his own rings were related to dragons as well. So, why not thinking like one too? Feitan had a lot of knowledge on these legendary creatures. Fearless, godly and dangerous. Swift, too.
Feitan blanked his mind. He closed his eyes for a slight moment and opened them with a new resolve, gripping his Iwa headband tighter. "Thanks, Velvet!" He set off in a burst of speed towards as he used shape manipulation on the dark chakra to give them the exact form Velvet had gave. Entering CQC distance, Feitan lowered his stance and aimed for a strike at Velvet's left leg, hoping to throw her off balance. The strike though only had normal speed, however, what followed next apparently was faster. Following the left leg strike was a open-palm hit in Velvet's abdomen. The hit was 1.5x faster, but Feitan felt like something was incomplete. Further concentrating his mind and imitating that of a dragon's, he takes the dark chakra into a new level of handling and applies the dragon heads to his legs as well. This was done possible due to his dark marks being present in his shoes' boots. "Heh, you're quite surprised aren't you?" In a blink of an eye, Feitan with his lowered stance still had put his hands on the ground and uses them as a spring to push himself up and deliver a dual kick to Velvet's shoulders. The kicks were equally as fast, and twice at his original speed. In other words, Velvet would have no practical way of reacting this close. After that Feitan retreats back with his four-limb dragon heads. Amazed at his own power, he only had to thank Velvet again. "Nice one, you."

After that Feitan retreats back with his four-limb dragon heads. Amazed at his own power, he only had to thank Velvet again. "Nice one, you."
As the words sunk into him the dark chakra around his palms began to change into exactly what Velvet had created. It would seem as though he finally understood what he needed to do, but was that really so? Yes he may has transformed his dark chakra into something new, but has he fully grasped the inner working of increasing his striking speed. Only action would tell. Without wasting much time Feitan began his assault by starting out with an attempt at attacking Velvet's left leg. The strike was still at normal speed. It would seem as though he still hasn't grasped the concept. Velvet lets out a sigh as she easily blocks the strike by performing an upwards kick with her left leg hitting his arm knocking it upwards. The strike of the kick was instant. What Feitan doesn't know is that with endless training eventually one will be able to permanently raise their striking speed without the need of the dark chakra coating the limbs. Deflecting the strike that was made to knock her off guard Velvet shakes her head waiting for his next attempt which wasn't that long, as right after the leg strike Feitan goes in for a strike to her abdomen. This time Velvet could see that his movements were changing ever so slightly. It was moving faster though not untrackable. Using her right palm she strikes downwards towards his wrist knocking his attack away with again another instant blow. "Stop wasting my time!" Even though it seemed Feitan was trying it wasn't up to Velvet's standards. But that would soon change as before should could attack him to knock some since into him, Feitan's legs began to change as two dark dragon heads form around them, as he plants his palms against the ground and kicks upwards. The sudden forming on his legs caught her off guard slightly, but what happened after she couldn't do anything about it. The strike at such a close range and the fact that it was moving at twice the speed, Velvet could only feel the impact of the attack that sends her flying backwards a few feet.
Hitting the ground back first the dragon heads on both of her palms vanish. She could hear Feitan expressing his excitement over this, which yes it would be something to praise about but not to Velvet. The moment she heard him expressing his gratitude was the moment she new he was back to being him self. His guard was down and was no longer acting the way he should be. They were still in the middle of training. Velvet took this badly. Getting up slowly Velvet keeping her head slightly down gets back into her stance she was in previously, and without warning jolts towards Feitan. The moment she enters arms reach, the dragon heads instantly form on her palms as she delivers blow to his chest. As the strike is made and is moving at twice the speed, the dragon heads enter Feitan body almost as if they ate a hole straight through him. He would not feel any pain, but rather feel a chunk of his life force taken from him. His chakra was eaten away by her attack. "Don't let me see you act like this again during this training." Pulling back her palms the dragon heads follow leaving his body but still keeping what they took.

Feitan immediately recognized his mistake by thanking Velvet. His quick wits made him realize that, but now he needed time to concentrate and adapt his way of thinking to that of a dragon's again. By this time, Velvet had already gotten up and was lunging forwards, having an unready Feitan before her. Ever so quickly though, he tried to get into a battle stance as the dragon heads made of dark chakra still were shining around his arms. Nevertheless, it was still too late to react to the chest strike. The impact pushed Feitan several feet back as he spit forth saliva in pain. Not a moment later, the dragon heads of Velvet would once more near Feitan's body and to his surprise, they simply faded him. Though as this happened, he felt a terrible energy drain. His legs started shaking to the point they could not withstand his weight and dropped on his knees. He panted. "It seems I've lost my touch..." Feitan growled. But that's not exactly what he meant. This was only to trick Velvet into thinking that he was still acting weak. In a split moment, he delivered a straight uppercut right at Velvet's chin. The hit was twice as fast and also unpredictable since Feitan was on his knees. He used every ounce of his strength left in order to deliver this hit against Velvet. He then looked at her with a threatening gaze. "Think twice."
A dirty trick. As Velvet pulls away and Feitan falls to his knees acknowledging he screwed up he quickly goes in for a sneak attack. His attacking weak was a ploy to trick Velvet and it worked. Velvet could do nothing as he strikes her chin with a forceful uppercut. The blow doesn't send her flying but does make her stumble backwards. Catching herself she rubs her chin to feel that it is a little wet but also warm. Looking down at her palm she could see there was a little bit of blood. Her chin was hit previously which had already damaged it and this blow finished what the previous couldn't. This attack didn't piss her off at all. In fact, she liked it. It was dirty. This is what she wants from him. This is how he needs to continue to act. Proud of what he has achieved it was time to move on to the next part of the training. Moving a few meters back giving about a five meter distance between the two Velvet speaks out. "I think it's time we moved on. However, this doesn't mean you have fully masted this step. If you recall, my kick from earlier was moving twice as fast even though I didn't form the dark chakra around it. If you continue to train yourself like we were just doing, eventually your body will memorize these movements and make it your own without the need of the chakra. Also, what I just did to you. Its a special move of this style that is used mainly for defense purposes, but if struck by it like you were you will be able to suck the life force out the person. Its main purpose is to defend you from oncoming jutsus and that's what you are going to try and do now. I want you to try and absorb my attack only using the dragon heads. Using anything else is forbidden. If you fail to stop the attack you will die." You could see it on her face and hear it in her voice she was not joking around. She plans to attack full force against Feitan. "In order to achieve this you need to hold out one of the dragon heads with your palm open as the attack comes near you. If done right it will seem as though the dragon is eating the jutsu."
The moment she stops talking she jumps backwards while forming a single hang-seal and quickly kicks her left leg to the right followed by kicking her right leg to the left. Each kick sends out a huge gust of wind where they quickly combine together forming a tornado but not a regular one that stands upright, but one that is on its side moving towards Feitan at a fast rate. If he fails to stop this attack, it will without a doubt rip him apart. Sound horrible to do this to her teammate but this is the kind of training needed to master this style.

Feitan smirked as he saw blood dripping out of Velvet's chin. That's what he was talking about. Velvet was fine with it too, and Feitan understood this. This kind of abstract understanding each other made their bond unbreakable after all. Even though Feitan had started to get a grip of the style, he still needed training. Apparently, you could do the fast strikes without the dark chakra surrounding your arms. Sounded quite handy. Feitan disperses the dragon heads as he bounces up and down in an attempt to regain his balance from the earlier chakra drain. As Velvet continued to speak, Feitan practised by punching the air with his bare fist, no dark chakra around. Each strike would be gradually faster than the previous one and so on. He'd complete a 360 cirlce punching around; while he did this he was all ears to what Velvet was saying too. As Velvet finished talking, so did Feitan with the punches.
"Sounds fine to me. I'm hungry for some chakra after all." Feitan said confidently. His gaze hadn't changed a bit; it was still as menacing as ever. Velvet jumps back as she uses her legs to release two gusts of winds. The two individual winds join in one tornado which was coming at Feitan at the side. Without fretting, he actually braced this with a grin. Focusing dark chakra around his left arm, he forms a dragon head around it. As soon as the wind threatened to hit Feitan, he directed his hand forward and had the dragon confront the tornado. In a swift process, the dragon started "eating" the wind away, or as better said, absorbing it. After finishing, Feitan looked at Velvet. His look clearly indicated on what were any further instructions about this technique.

Performing the technique right he managed to stop the attack and sparred his own life. It would seem he is getting use to the style which was a good thing, but there is still a lot more to do before he could be considered a master of this style. Landing on the ground just as the attack is thwarted Velvet begins explaining the next step though it would still be the same thing just slightly different. "Good, this defense has two versions and it seems you have the first down pat. The other is practically the same thing, but this time you will create two dragon heads and combine them together by bringing both limbs side by side which will form one large dragon head. This version will allow you to absorb much larger jutsus than the previous. The first you can only stop small to medium sized attacks while with this one you can stop large scale attacks." Again, after talking Velvet goes into action by releasing a large ball of fire towards Feitan.

What this technique could do was sure interesting. It could drain the chakra of a target, absorb small to medium scaled techniques and with this method it could absorb large scaled techniques. As Velvet spews a large fireball, Feitan does the same process he did just moments ago, but this time with both of his hands. Vivid purple dragons were created around his arms and he slowly joined the wrists together. This combination resulted into the creation of a big dragon head. It was far more fearsome to the enemies and it could do wonders too. The fireball did not have anything on it, as it inevitably got absorbed within the insides of the large dragon. After successfully absorbing it and sending the chakra in his marks, Feitan ceased the technique. "That was... interesting."

Again Feitan handle the situation and performed the technique correctly. "Well done. You've seemed to learn the first technique of the style. Now this may be a helpful move but don't go forgetting that this follows the same principles as regular Absorption Dark. Don't want you thinking you can just now go out and thinking you can suck in big chunks of rocks or giant puddles of water." Finally with the beginning practice and the first technique over with Velvet heads softly jerks her head towards the direction of the village indicating that today's lesson was over. Tomorrow they would move on to the next thing.
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: A
Range: Short

Damage: N/A
Description: The user starts off this technique just like any other, by applying dark chakra around his limbs that provide dark marks and have it get the shape of a dragon's head. The "neck" of the dragon will cover the entire limb of the user and the actual dragon head will extend one meter from the fingers' reach. The technique was specifically created to stop incoming techniques hence the dragon heads are larger than usual. Respecting Dark's S/W, the dragon heads will be able to absorb techniques within reason. (S-rank for elements weak to Dark; A-rank for neutrals and B -rank for those who're strong to Dark) The user has to take into account the incoming technique's size in order to safely absorb with the dragon heads. With an individual dragon head, the user is able to absorb small to medium sized techniques. Alternatively, the user may join his limbs together and thus have the dragon heads conjugate together into dragon head which rivals the size of Fire Release: Hellfire Technique. This large dragon head can use a suction-like effect from his mouth and draw in any technique regardless of its size. The dragon heads' power is equally divided among them so it's regarded as one whole in terms of power. When confronting an enemy, the dragon heads will simply phase through them but will absorb a total of 60 chakra points in that turn. Any chakra absorb will be kept in the dark marks of the user to be used for later to perform the Release portion of this style.
