Stop the Bleeding [Gaoh/Yushio]
Tue Aug 20, 2024 9:16 pm
CLOSED FIST, OPEN MIND
Sweat and blood, the smell of woodchips in the air. A mat underneath Gaoh's feet, the dojo that surrounded him filled with a half dozen wounded, and a half dozen angry mixed martial artists. The arrancar wiped blood from the edge of his mouth before he spoke, addressing the room as a whole. "I announced myself, and my style. You can't be upset that I used it!" The room answered with a chorus of anger, Gaoh raising both hands in the air, a mock display of surrender.
"Okay! Okay. I'll leave, you guys..." his gaze flicked across the combatants, and those still standing. "...You guys get better, yeah?" Shouts and jeers followed Gaoh out of the building, a loose sack picked off the floor as he did. He was wearing his usual, a sleeveless gi and white hakama underneath, flesh otherwise laid bare. A lob of blood and spit shot out to the side as he descended, brushing a stranger's shoulder rather heavily as he did.
"Woah buddy," his head swiveled, stopping a step below. "Watching where you're going?" An unusual level of aggression in his voice - hard to not be pissed at a bunch of sore losers.

The sun beating down on the girl's face didn't make traveling in the heat a bearable endeavor but she had to endure the intense heat drumming along her youthful face until she could find shade to retreat to. Most times strolling through unfamiliar territory was a good thing for her, as it allowed her to see many different things that she wouldn't be able to witness while in her home country. Other times she'd have to be careful where she wanders off, less she encounters some unwanted guests. However it wasn't something she was concerned about for she carried confidence in herself when it came to those that's beneath her.
She came across a couple of drunk individuals whose eyes were captured by a lone woman strolling through the English streets, as if she was an expensive piece of jewelry lying on the ground. They had recently came out of a bar after downing a few glasses and decided to have some fun, but unfortunately for them it was Yushio who had a fun of her own as she quickly dealt with the harassers thanks to possessing martial arts experience. She didn't expect a challenge from them, considering they were drunk idiots but she had to do something about them constantly asking her to “hangout” with her.
After she dealt with them, she could feel the heat sucking away at her energy, and when she found a building that looked like a dojo she almost felt relief until she bumped into a stranger who seemed as if he finished going a couple of rounds with their fighters. She stopped for a moment and blinked, “Aren't you the one who should be watching where they walk?” She said, The man before her looked as if he was some wanderer, because nothing about him radiated wealth as the only thing she noticed was that he looked like shit. “Gave you a couple good hits I'd say” She said after sizing him up a little. “You should get yourself checked out, wouldn't want an infection. Then again you look like a meat head kind of person, always thinking they can tank a few blows before kissing pavement. But I suppose that's why the military likes those types.

At first, Gaoh wouldn't say the woman was wrong - in an ideal situation, he would be more alert and aware of his surroundings than a dozen men. But this was far from an ideal situation. A shitty mood for a shitty afternoon, not that he was taking it personal. Sometimes you needed to let off steam. The other option, to explode. No telling how much danger that would be.
And - she kept talking. If Gaoh were from an older generation... His knuckles were tight at the thought, but there was no action, his eyes the only movement. Narrowing, darting across her frame. "If a wall is in your way, you need the strength to push through it. Or, in your case, the wisdom to step around." A step forward closed the space between them, Gaoh's hand extending to pinch at her cheek as a faint smile split across his face.
"The doting is cute," his hand dropped, rolling his eyes in the opposite direction as he stepped away. "Better save it for the children up there, girlie." He made no motion to gesture, but the implication of the dojo was clear as Gaoh moved down the stairs.

Yushio took a step back to avoid making contact with the stranger. Hostility wasn't detected from the man, yet she didn't invite friendly gestures into her personal space. "Would like to avoid being dirty, thanks." She said. She wanted to get out of the smoldering heat for she felt as if she would pass out any minute.
Taking out the drunkards on her way to the Dojo, before coming across a complete weirdo hadn't been the first thing on the menu. When the stranger was done, he had went back into the dojo and Yushio began to follow. She was a few places behind him and matched with his gait so as to not fall behind. "Do you always get yourself into these types of fights?"

A step after another, the girl decided to tag along. Another faint tingle of annoyance, but it was his fault after all. Getting caught up with petty bullshit instead of watching - that didn't matter now. Now, he had to worry about where he was going next. China had some excellent marital artists, and the food was great. Japan held some nostalgia... And the girl was still talking, Gaoh's pace picking up in speed.
"Always? No. Usually they tap out later." Gaoh bemoaned, keeping his pace as they furthered from the Dojo, focus unshifting from the stairs in front of him. She'd listened to him, at the least he could do the same. "Some people use violence as a cheap tool to make themselves feel better, and when they lose - can't take it on the chin. Selfish and weak." The last words were spat out, a glob launched to the ground. A flicker of curiousness in his gut, twisting the edge of his mouth into a grin.
"If you don't want to get dirty, girlie, what were you doing going to a dojo?" Gaoh stopped on the bottom of the steps, turning halfways towards the woman. There was no way she was entirely oblivious. No one ever was.

"Honestly, I just wanted to be away from all the heat. Didn't know it could be this hot. Could've mess with my skin routine" She said, fanning her face with her left hand. She wasn't used to being underneath the blazing sun as she tends to limit her outdoor activities before the heat becomes a bit too much for her. Its why she prefers a much more comfortable temperature where you don't need to worry about what to wear and what to protect herself from.
"But this is what I get for travelling this much. But hey, a woman has to find opportunities somehow. They don't just appear out of thin air." After she had said this, she was prepared to provide the man a good explanation as to why she chose a dojo. "My appearance belies my martial skills. I can tell in your eyes that you think im some average girl" A sadistic grin crept to the side of her cheek. "But rest assured, im beyond average. And im sure you're an intriguing specimen that I would like to dissect"
