I'll make a man out of you.

The young girl had been hugged before, but never like this since her father and mother passed all those years ago. There was something so warm, something that felt right, smelt right. She let her body sag, her muscles become loose. He gave her the respect of an equal but cradled her like a cherished child. In that embrace she felt her worries loose their keen sting and her optimism raise its head from the dirt. Perhaps the hope had been there all along, but without some love it was trapped, like crystals in a stone. She felt him brush her hair back with his piano player fingers and kiss her head gently…

After the hug was broken her Master sat back into his chair for a brief moment, like something was on his mind. She could’ve asked him but it would be best to not get into his private matters...regardless she was taken to the Stealth Force Barracks where many recruits would spar to improve their strength; she looked around for a brief moment before seeing Henrex take a few steps back to which he then gave her another kiss on the forehead as she gave off a quiet contentment spreading through her body.

“Henrex. I’m ready to show you what I’ve learnt and I am honored to learn new skills to help progress myself further in strength. But let me show you something I learned. Yoriko said to Henrex with her eyes widened in excitement and courage.

She said smiling before taking a few steps back taking a deep breath and bringing her right leg up giving a gentle stomp on the ground his right leg up giving a gentle stomp on the ground to send a few shards of earth into the air before sliding her right foot outward and bring her leg backward causing the small rocks to be formed into disks for her to throw at. Yoriko would then go into the "cat-stance" placing her non-dominant foot forward by taking one step in front of her right twisting her back foot out to a 45-degree angle from the parallel her foot was in before putting all of her weight into the back of her foot while leaving the rest on her dominant foot back the reason why she did it is that her foot could be extended without loss of balance.

Finally she would use the levitated slab of rock and turn it into a shield that would revolve around her body similar to a planet towards a star to use as either a shield as it positioned in front her. Of course this is only the second time she'd use this so it's still has some bugs that needs tweaking, hopefully henrex would be glad of her current progress in terms of her sealed zanpaktou.

"What do you think?"
