Fighting In Fields Of Gold [Closed]

The sun was shining through the thick leaves and branches of the trees above the two Shinigami. A path shaped by the growth of these trees was leading them to a place that Kaminari had not been in such a long time. The beams from the sunlight made the entire path look as if it was lit with gold. She continued walking, leading him until they came to a wall of vines. She stopped and stared at them for a moment before gently pushing them aside. She stepped off to the side and motioned for Redd to step passed her and through into what seemed to be a darkened cave. Once done, she stepped in as well, taking his hand to lead him and continued down the darkened path. For a minute or two it stayed dark, but finally the light at the end of the tunnel appeared, shining golden light through and giving them the way out.

As they came to the end of the tunnel, she stopped and let go of his hand. The area before them was absolutely beautiful. Beautifully green grass, white, purple, and golden flowers covered the the small field before them. Tall rock walls, as if they were in the middle of a mountain, kept this place hidden very well from the outside world. A small waterfall dropped into a little lake from a large hole in the rock walls. The grass had grown a lot since the last time she was here. A stone path was on the floor, something that she definitely remembered. She stepped along it and looked up to see the sky above, the sun still forcing it's way through a thick lining of trees to light the place up. She set a hand on her stomach and closed her eyes as a cool breeze pushed it'self through and gently caressed her skin. It was about time to explain to Redd why she wanted to come here.

"My best friend, Lira and I, found this place years ago." she said softly as she lowered her gaze to the floor. "This path... We made so we wouldn't walk on and destroy the grass and flowers." She tapped her foot on the path beneath her and then looked to him, giving a weakened smile. Due to her relaxed state, she was easily able to keep control over her spiritual pressure and speak to him. Her voice came out light, warm, and sweet sounding. It was obvious that this place brought back wonderful and horrible memories for her, but she still smiled. "I wanted to train here because of her. I need to be able to move on with my life and stop living in the past. This is why I keep myself in Shino Academy and haven't joined Gotei 13 yet. I realize now that I need to stop holding onto her and let her move on as well. This place... is where we always were. We met here, talked here, grew to be friends here, and at times even slept.. right over there." She pointed to a shortened patch of grass and smiled.

"That time of my life is over. Training here will break off any attachment I have to her and this place... and I'm sure you don't care about what I am saying right now, so... Why don't we get started?" She looked to him with a more hardened and focused gaze. This time she was not wearing the red and white student uniform, but instead actual Shinigami outfitting. Her Zanpakutō, as usual, was tied to her back by a strap along her chest, the hilt coming up over her right shoulder. She stepped off the path that she had created to save this grass so long ago, and was ready to turn this into a training ground. "I'm ready... Where should we start?"

Redd couldn't think of any reason why his student level counter-part had chosen to take him here. Though he wasn't at all complaining.
Kaminari had take him on quite the journey and he was enjoying every minute of it. His eyes gazed about in wonder at the arc made of branches. Even as he ducked his head, when he moves through the curtains made of greenery and vines-- making special care not to get any of this caught in his hair, He still couldn't quite grasp why she'd picked here of all places. Everything here was so pristene, it would be a shame if a rough training session was to ruin all of this. But he HAD in fact given her a choice.
" Me and you, anytime, anywhere"
This sounded quite odd out of context but in truth these words were direction at a training session. Redd sighed, and began to question why he was going through this much trouble to recruit Kaminari in the first place. It was true that she had expressed to him she had acute interest in joining squad 7 but her natural ability reflected those of a true 2nd division member, and there was no way he would allow her to pass that up without giving it some thought. Luckily Kaminari was just a little to nice to refuse this meeting in the spirit of training, or rather Redd was to assertive for her to have said no.
Either way that could be remedied. In no way was implying that her personality needed changing but there was a certain "Umf" that being in squad 2 instilled in everyone's attitude.

Redd looked forward, and then down. He hadn't realized that she'd been guiding him toddler style this wasn't necessarily needed, seeing as there was only way he could go but there was no way he would risk offending her by pulling away.
Redd squinted as the light at the end of the tunnel drew closer, and started to wonder if He'd somehow died long ago and this was his way of transcending into heaven.
The scenery that he'd emerged into was one of well-- absolute serenity.
The light green and subtly yellow grass that reached to just about 5 inches below his knees seemed to move like water in the breeze. Moving and then going still every once in a while as if it was living.. breathing.

He turned to the female as she began to speak to him. Tilting his head and maintaining a direct contact with her eyes, which held an untold sadness, it was clear that she was still in mourning over this Lira. He nodded as she went on with her story, sometimes all you needed was someone to listen.
"I'm ready... Where should we start?"
He smiled at this, though he was a readily available ear, he preferred to speak through actions. Though of course, there was no way she could communicate this through body language -- but thats what speaking was for. He'd been overjoyed at the fact that she could talk to him now but it had come to the time for training, and boy were they going to train.
"First things first, if you're going to be a member of the Second Divison
He flashed a quick grin
" Which I KNOW you are.. You've got to have an advanced grasp of hand-to-hand combat. So !
The male whipped his head forward, allowing his zanpaktou to come flying from his shoulder and onto the stone path, clattering a small amount as it hit the floor.
He brought his fore arms up in a horizontal line just below shoulder height, placeing a fist into his palm and cracking the knuckles on his left hand, then doing the same to his right.
Redd gave her no more than two minutes to prepare herself before rushing forwards, not quick running but still moving at a quickly advancing pace towards the girl, from his initial stand point he'd been about 6 or 7 feet from her, but three strides quickly did away with this space between them. Never one for a flashy entrance He raised his right hands just below his eyes and only a few inches in front of his face. He made a three jabs in tight succession the first with his right hand- aimed at her head. The second with his left, aimed at the soft meaty area a few inches below the right side of her rib cage. And yet another that was aimed at her left shoulder- where the base of her arm and torso met. Following these he hopped backwards Kicking at her right side with his left leg, the same placed he had previously aimed to punch her with his left fist before. He spoke in a stern voice as he did this, almost yelling as he executed each attack. Each few words he let out a grunt accompanying them.
"Strike hard and fast! Don't give your opponent the chance to react."

Kaminari stood confident as she listened to his words, but still couldn't help but smirk when he said that she would be joining Squad Two. Her mind had not been made up as of yet, but in all honesty, she was beginning to push herself towards it. She couldn't tell whether it was his constant insisting, or whether she truly felt in her heart that it would be a good idea to change her mind about which Squad she was to join. She glanced away for only a moment, her eyes being the first thing that looked back to him. He was advancing. Her eyes widened and her ability to speak soon left her. Her concentration was now on what was going to be coming forth.

He reached her range rather quickly, which was to be expected of someone of his caliber, but she was grateful that he was not using his full speed. If he had, he would have easily been able to overpower her. Now her focus and determination were coming out, and she raised her hands upwards, not balling them into fists, but keeping them open at the moment. His height was immediately taken in to count. He was taller than her, so his fists were obviously going to be attacking the upper part of her body. The first strike she was expecting, she quickly moved her head to the side of the fist, turning her body where her right shoulder was moving back, which allowed her to even dodge the second strike.

This movement was unfortunate for the third strike to her left shoulder because it allowed practically no time for her to move out of the way. She was hit. She took a step back and at this moment a kick came to her right side. She foolishly lost her balance and fell to the ground, her body sinking in and crushing some of the grown grass. Her eyes closed and she winced slightly, but the pain soon subsided and she opened her eyes. Right next to her was a golden flower, she had only recently learned the name from a book she read about the world of the living. A tulip. Lira loved these flowers and used to braid them into both of their hair.

"Damn it..." she thought to herself and jumped to her feet. She was not going to allow this to take over her thoughts again. It was her time to live and right now she had to fight. Taking in a deep breath, she raised her hands again and did as Redd had previously suggestion. "Do not give him the chance to react." she thought to herself and quickly closed the three foot gap that had been created between them when she was kicked to the floor. Much like he did, she threw three quick attacks towards the upper part of his body.

Concentrating mostly on the chest, her first strike came with her right hand at the middle of his chest. The second strike came with her left hand, palm swooping upwards, aiming for his side, coming up right under the ribs. The third was actually a shift, her hand balling into a fist, and aimed right towards his mid-section, directly at his stomach. She knew that her speed would not be enough to catch him off guard, so doing her best to confuse or startle him would be her best bet for a successful strike.

Redd was surprised at Kaminari's resolve, he cocked his eyebrows in surprise at how quickly she got back on her feet. It was true he hadn't been moving with a " Hit to kill" state of mind, but the point of this wasn't to kill. Nor was it his intention to to harm her, but chances were should be landing quite a few hits on him so what sense did it make not to get some pre-emptive payback?

Redd stood with his arms at his sides. He made no attempt to block her first strike, the resulting solid thunking sound caused him to sigh though not out of pain or loss of breath due to her strike. Gauging her strength solely on this he was content. He stepped backwards with his right foot, outstretching his right arm and aiming at her left one, He'd effectively lodged his hand in the area that was her inner elbow, giving a small amount of force diffusing her strike on his side by angling her arm outwards.

He hadn't been quite expecting the punch aimed directly at his tummy but he was more than fast enough to react to it. He removed his right hand from hers, raising both of his hands to catch her wrists. For added effect he sucked in his gut ensure that he wouldn't be hit. With this he released the hold he had over her, placing both hands on either of her shoulders.
"Stop"
He allowed his right arm to fall down to his side, while his left glided down that of her right, taking hold of her wrist once more, he stepped in a bit closer bringing her hand up to rest upon his upper chest area.
"Feel that?"
He again moved his right hand, bringing it up wards, his fingers having been curled into something that wasn't quite a fist but more of a bear-claw looking position. This action wasn't meant to hit her, but himself. He knocked on his chest as he would as door. Three hollow thudding sounds occured as he did this.
"Work hard not smart, that's what my mother told me when I was younger. Your first strike hit me where your hand is now, and sure it hurt, But its not something that would bring about much dammage.
He struck his chest once again with his knuckles eliciting a louder knocking sound
"Nothing but bone, do you understand ? Work smart not hard.
He let go of her hand bringing both of his up, laying his palm Just below her arm pits. This hands then slid down to the cusp of her rib near her front side. They journeyed further down, but only by a few inches coming to a rest on her stomach, and then slightly upwards Just below her breasts and in the middle of her torso, directly below her chest plate. He then moves upwards placing his right hand on the side of her face. and then down once again to her neck. With each stop he patted lightly with his fingers, he'd made special care to avoid her nether regions-- the LAST thing he wanted was to come off as a creep.
" Here, here, here,here, ANYWHERE here, and here"
He said as he patted each place.
These are the weak points and these are the places you want to shoot for when you strike
He stepped back, clearing his throat as he did so.
"Now, Again!"

Although Kaminari wasn't the best Shinigami around, she wasn't an idiot, nor was she naive. She knew that he had complete ability to block the first attack, it more than likely being the easiest one to do something about. The fact that it hit only let her know that he truly was paying attention to her power, strength, and maybe even her technique. Of course she could not be certain. The fact that he was from Squad Two gave her a few ideas about him. He is more than likely fast, stealthy, and quick in the kill, so his knowledge of the body was not shocking to her.

Kaminari kept her eyes on him. In this situation, most females would have reacted as if he were some sort of pervert. She did not. She stood there with a serious look on his face, taking in his words. With each 'here', she took note of the spots that he was pointing out to her and thought of ways she would strike him. She did not speak to him for she was concentrating on her ability to strike his body. Although, a single question entered her mind, "I wonder if he knows... why I don't talk...?"

Pushing the question from her mind, she took in a deep breath. Her eyes still did not leave his own. Kaminari brought her hands up to him and mimicked what he had done to her. The breeze that she enjoyed so much once again pushed through the area and caressed her skin, blowing her hair passed her face, but she didn't seem to notice this. She was so focused on training and learning from him, that one of the things she enjoyed most she was able to completely ignore. Narrowing her eyes as each place was memorized, she brought her hands up to the side of his face and tapped there a little harder than she had the rest. Although she knew his motives, she didn't appreciate him allowing her to land a single hit on him without her actually deserving it. This hit was his little punishment. She knew she could get in trouble for it, but at the moment she only wished to become stronger, faster, and get to know her Zanpakutō. Those were her goals, and false strikes were only going to hinder her progress.

Kaminari still did not look away, her eyes locked onto his. Even with her thoughts and memorizing each place he had said, she did not look away. It was like she was creating a detailed picture in her mind of each spot that he had pointed out. "Now again!" she heard his words and then nodded to him. Her hands came up and she moved into her stance once more.

The gap between them was soon closed. She went to strike him in multiple places, this time more than before. Her first strike was with her left hand this time, sending it rather quickly towards his stomach. The second was with her left, bending her arm towards her first, she aimed the back of her fist towards the right side of his face, quickly bringing it back and then sending the same hand, now no longer in a fist, sideways into the side of his neck for two quick jabs.

Kaminari decided not to stop there and shifted her weight slightly, sending her fourth strike forward and into the middle of his torso, right under his rib cage in the middle of his torso. Now to switch it up, she went to try and surprise him and sent her right leg up, her foot flying straight for the underline of his jaw as fast as she was able to. His speed and his strength obviously out matched her own, but she hoped that she would have the slight ability to catch him of guard with this one. After all, not many people were flexible or quick enough to pull off a kick like that one.

Redd licked the inside of his cheek in the place she'd just struck him, a small bubble forming on the side of his face, gliding upwards, and then disappearing as he moved this fleshy member back into place. Redd had the hanging feeling that this was intentional, he'd been in more than enough fights to know when someone hit with purpose. But he paid this no mind, despite having no idea what for he assumed she wanted to subtly get him back for hitting him before. Thoughts of this left his mind in a matter of seconds. Either way it didn't much matter.

Her first attack was easily avoided, Redd turned his body, with his side now facing her as to avoid the punch to his stomach, He hadn't expected her to deviate from the points of interest he'd just given to her thus he was ready for the neck strikes. He micro-shunpoed involuntarily leanining further back, as if he was limbo-ing. He'd began to right himself to apologize he'd wanted to keep on par with her and to him-- something like this was cheating. Though his break in concentration was met with a punch to the middle of his torso, this space lied just in front of his lungs, the proeceeding result being the air knocked from him. Though he had a high tolerance for pain this caused him to hunch over slightly.
She isn't weak-- thats for sure
He hadn't even begun to right himself before making a jab with his left arm at the right side of her head. He made an attempt at the element of surprise, not even looking up so that he could fool her into thinking he wasn't ready, thought as he brought his arm up to its target, he'd been knocked away by the side of her foot. His teeth clacked together as the top and bottom parts of his jaw were forced to come together, He stumbled backwards three steps, now being only 7 feet from her.
He paused to rub the side of his face. Admittedly- he was impressed, A kick like that would have been hard for anyone, coupled with the fact that he was taller than her.
A grin krept its way onto his face as a metallic taste seeped into his mouth. There was no way he would let on that she'd caused him to bleed.
Excellent
"That was a uhm... pretty sexy move"
He clicked his tongue during the pause in his last sentence.
He hadn't lied in saying this, there weren't too many females that he associated himself with on a daily basis in the sereitei and it'd been a while since one had managed to make him leak. Fighting was a passion for him so it was that landing quite a dazzling hit was attractive.
Of course Kaminari Didn't need to know all of this. He could have just as easily kept this comment to himself and continued on fighting. In fact he'd done this purposely to dis-arm her. He shunpoed, his movement almost instantaneous as he appeared directly in front of her. He was literally a few inches in front of and to the right of her, which was exactly where he'd intended to be. He brought his right leg up, bending it so that he would be kneeing her in the stomach. Redd brought his hands to a rest on the females shoulders so that she couldn't move away, repeating this action once more.

He backed up, ducking to his left and then coming back up, his left arm poised to swing. He shot a punch at the the lower space that was below her rib cage, she'd been so desperately begging for a thrashing and who was he to deny? He seemed as if he was going for her face with his right, arm though he only extended it to 1/4 of the distance it needed to go- drawing it back in while- at the same time, following through with the strike but with his left hand

Kaminari's little tap on his face was the only strike that she had done as pay back. The rest were honestly just serious practice in her opinion. There was no second meaning behind him, and in a way she was only trying to show him that she truly was listening to what he had to say. She was not weak, it seemed he had figured this out, which only made her happy. His acknowledgement of her achievement was given to her with a compliment of the move being 'sexy'. It was a word she had heard being use time and time again from a man to a woman and sometimes vice versa, but she never really understood it's meaning. She only tilted her head to the side in slight curiosity of what he meant, but still remained completely focused. She was too innocent of a girl to understand the significance of what he had said to her, and frankly she was a bit too shy to ask.

Kaminari thought that he must have tried to use his words to take her off her guard the same way it probably did to most females. When a man called a woman 'sexy' she noticed that the woman's face would become red and they would get shy. It was just another thing that she did not really understand, and never really had the chance or time to ask someone about it. She figured this through his actions because he immediately charged at her. Luckily she wasn't one to break her concentration that easily.

She actually was a little shocked that he used Shunpo to get to her, so out of reflex she sort of pushed the upper part of her body backwards, moving herself out of the way of his first strike. This movement had proved her lucky, because she wasn't expecting him to try and grab onto her shoulders. Since she had pushed herself back, she just barely moved herself out of his reach. She lost her balance and fell backwards, but quickly jumped back to her feet. Now she was not so lucky. She lost sight of his movements and brought her hands up to block the fake strike with his right hand. This gave him complete opening to come around with his left and hit her rather hard.

Kaminari had been taken off guard by both his speed and his switch in hands when attacking on that last one. She was sent off her feet and landed harshly onto the ground about teen feet away from him. She landed on her back in a large patch of the golden flowers that Lira had been so fond of. The petals of these flowers, as she landed, were blown from their stems and thrown into the air. The pressure of her body hitting the floor, caused her a lot of pain, her mouth opening in shock proving the amount of pain that she felt. She rolled over on her side and curled up slightly, raising her hands to cover her face.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow..." she thought to herself as she fought a few tears that threatened to leave her eyes. The golden pedals dropped down from the air and landed onto her, a breeze flowing through the area to take them away. She glanced through her fingers to look at him. "What the hell was that?" she thought to herself, "Did I do something wrong? Why did he go for my face?" She thought it rather harsh to go for an area like that during something that she felt was supposed to be training. She felt something wet and pulled her hand away. There was some blood coming from her nose. She used her sleeve to wipe it away and looked up to him with his eyes narrowed. For the first time in a long time she was actually sort of angry. It wasn't a feeling she liked, but she didn't really like him hitting her in the face either.

Kaminari was truly mad. She darted forward, using Shunpo for the first time in a training session. Appearing in front of him, she already had her right hist cocked back and ready to strike. She sent it forward towards his chest, but did what he did and refused to continue it. Using Shunpo again, she moved behind him, her leg now in mid swing, aiming for the back of his head. This one she did go through with and whether or not it hit, she continued with more and more strikes.

Kaminari kept her mind focused, repeating what he said to her before in her head over and over and over again. "Do not give him a chance to strike. Do not give him a chance to strike..." was all that was going through her mind. She kept swinging her fists at him, changing the places she wished to strike with each one. Every now and then, she would move to a kick, doing her best to keep him moving and to increase any speed she had. Although she did start this out of anger, she soon turned it into her own personal challenge. "How long can I keep this up? Will I be able to keep him on the move?" She thought and decided she was definitely going to give this a try. She kept going and going, playing out random strikes, all at points of the body that he had previously pointed out to her.

Redd watched as the female climbed back to her feet, He wasn't going to tell her he didin't mean to hit her face because that would require him lying. and in truth he didin't even regret it. Not because he was just an asshole But because of the look in her eyes. He knew it well.
Fury!
Redd had dashed forward as Kaminari dis-appeared before him. From expierience He knew the best thing to do when someoe was in shunpo mode was to move, they couldn't hit what was no longer there, He'd been surprised at the fact that she still managed to appear before him, and though he'd been dazzled somewhat he wasn't going to go easy on her anymore. He lunged forward, having still been in motion from his initial movement, he went sailing through the air, making contract with absolujtley nothing as she shunpoed once more. Her kick to his would-be head had proved in-effective.
Assuming that she'd doges in some way, Redd wen't on to dive-roll, quickly summer-salting to his feet. He turned to meet Kaminari's acute advances, Partially avoiding her attacks-- if not fully avoiding them was in-difficult to him. Even if he wasn't of a higher seat than her, it was clear he'd been in far more fights than she. This coupled with the skill difference he had over her Made most of her attacks simply inept.
So far she'd failed to land a solid hit, most of her punches either swooshing past him or, gliding against their target, their hit effectiveness only partial. A few odd kicks had certainly thrown him through the loop.
It was amazing how extraordinarily quickly she learned based on his instruction. Either he was a really great teacher, or something was special about this cadet. Of course he knew this from their first meeting and that was why he'd wanted the opportunity to train her in the first place.
He smirked at her, during this entire session of constant attacks he'd held eye-contact as she had done. It was clear that he was showing off, only using his peripheral to see oncoming movements. This itself may have been the reason she'd made contact with him at all. It was the only way that he could move on her level in subtly.

His movement stopped completely- in the blink of an eye, as her fourth kick came up to greet his jawline again. Redd raised his left hand to grab her calve area on her right leg. He kept a strong grip on her lower appendage, now moving his other hand to her leg as well He clasped the member down to his shoulder, anchoring it there.
It was fun fighting for the hell of it, it'd been a while since he'd been in a fight that was strictly hand to hand, and even longer since he'd been in one that didn't involve him fighting for hislife
"Exellent but- fool me twice shame on me!
His last word was grunted as he began to swing the girl around by her foot, Redd held onto her for a maximum of 4 seconds before allowing her to fly from his grasp.
and he wasn't finished yet.
He shunpoed above her still airborne body- flying his own course just above her, though as if he was standing on air. He'd proceeded to kick her down to earth, using shunpo again He'd appeared about 12 feet away, still moving through the air but now only a foot above ground. It seemed as if he'd just finished jumping as his feet hit the floor.

Kaminari's determination to get stronger was the only thing that fueled her heart and kept her moving forward. Her mind was not on actually striking him, but instead memorizing hers and his movements. She watched the way he moved, the cocky and insensitive look in his eyes as she showed of his skill. She took note of everything. As her forth kick came up and she was stopped, she attempted to pull away, but was not expecting him to take her off of her feet and throw her. As she was flying through the air, her arms came out to the side, and she was unable to even attempt a block with how quickly he was moving.

Redd kicked her to the floor and her eyes widened at the pain she felt. She didn't even have time to breathe. Her body slammed onto the ground below. She turned to lay on her side and curled over. She held her torso as she attempted to take in some air, but was failing. For the normal person, breathing in this situation would be much easier, but not for her. She not only had to try and breathe in the pain she was in, but also keep herself from crying out, whimpering, or anything in that manner. To prevent herself from using her voice, she allowed herself to choke up. She didn't breathe until she felt the pain go away. Once it did, she took in a stressed breath, sounding as if it was painful. Luckily her voice was not used and she finally was able to breathe normally.

Kaminari pushed herself from the ground and sat up on her knees. She kept her hand on her chest, trying to catch her breath. She moved her gaze from the ground and up to him. The look on her face was one of slight horror. She looked down to her torso and rubbed it. There was definitely going to be a bruise there tonight. She stumbled to her feet and winced in pain again. "That hurt..." she mumbled under her breath just barely loud enough for him to hear her. She had calmed down just enough to be able to say that, but quickly lost control again.

Redd shunpoed again, appearing just behind her, though if he'd been about a foot closer he would be at her side. He smoothly slipped his head between her arm and torso, wrapping his right arm around her back so that he could carry most of her weight for her. In the same motion draping her left arm over his shoulders. He had to slightly hunch his back to be at an appropriate height for this but he didn't really care.
"I'm so sorry I didn't thi- I wouldn't of expec-"
He sighed, silencing himself, hid mind was in a frantic state, but the realization that she was a female-- not a glass doll moved into the place of his apologetic thoughts.
"I'll try not to be as rough... lets move on."
He stepped forwards allowing her arm to fall from his shoulders, and his own --which had been clinging to her side to let go. He turned towards her again speaking in a soft voice that was meant to cool her head, and by extention her body as well.
The words that left his mouth seemed to flow like water, like sweet cream to ones ears.
" That was good, you did exactly what I told you, but at this point a litte more creativity couldn't hurt you.
He gave her the updown with his eyes, smacking on a peice of gum that'd mysteriously reached his mouth. He hunched over a small amount patting each of her knees.
"Your hands and feet response is nice but those aren't your only weapons. Your elbows, your knees, and even sometimes your head, can and shoould be used to fend off an opponet. But thats not completely what I mean, you gotta mix it up a little more.
He hopped around, in the manner a boxer would. moving form side to side and hitting the air. Giving two quick jabs with his left hand , and then a slightly akward, upper cutting motion with his right elbow.
"Being quick is nice in a hand-to-hand fight, but it makes for a much more satisfying hit when you've surprised your enemy"
He stopped moving, abruptly. his arms-- apparently not getting the memo continued to swing slightly, as if they'd been disturbed by the breeze that well.. breezed passed every so often.
Redd looked her up and down yet again, judging by the way she looked she was feeling winded, and though there was nothing the matter with that. aha was disappointed after all. Not in her but rather at the fact that he was being forced to end their training.
" I think its time we call it a day
