One Week In: A Trip Down Town [Private]

Keianna saw Minami smiled and had no problem smiling back. Seeing her reach out, Keianna looked down to her hand, listening to the compliment given to her about her recruiting. Nodding, she reached out and took her hand. She had a strong grip, but was still gentle when shaking Minami's hand. Then, hearing her joke about being awake during a mission, Keianna actually laughed, not just a giggle. She knew immediately that she was talking about Kyoko, who had proven earlier of her lack of focus. "Yes. That would be great." Keianna said and then let go of Minami's hand, "Kyoko has no attention span normally, that is obvious, but I can't say that she is horrible. Believe it or not, she's actually pretty good when she's in danger and she has no choice but to focus, otherwise she'd die." Keianna had a feeling that Kyoko's first impression might have been completely negative. Kyoko was a daydreamer, yes, but she had a few good points about her. Realizing something, Keianna looked to Minami and raised an eyebrow. "Does this mean you're thinking about joining?" Keianna waited for the answer, hoping that it actually might have been a yes. She'd likely make sure that Minami would be her partner on missions, especially if she gets as good as Keianna thinks she is.

Keianna nodded. "Yeah, I know..." she said to her, "I have this habit of defending my family. I don't see anything wrong with it and neither does anyone else, but some times I feel this need to make sure they're not looked at negatively. Her first impression was likely odd." When getting a reply about whether she was joining, Keianna blinked a few times, her cheeks becoming a very soft shade of red, as if she were a little embarrassed. "Ah... Okay then." she said as her calm demeanor once again returned, including the fading away of her momentary blush, "Well, I can't wait for you to actually get started. You want to go get your name on the student roster?" Keianna began walking back towards the Main House, assuming that Minami would follow. She'd lead her through the houses again, enter through the back door of the main house, and head towards the front room. She went through yet another door and stepped into an office. There was a bookshelf, desk, computer, phone, and chair. She walked over to the desk and pulled out a clip board and handed it to Minami. "Here ya go... We only need your name, address, phone number, and choose what class you want to start off on... There's Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced... There is a master class as well, but there are only two members at the moment... And I sort of doubt you want to start of there..." A soft chuckle came after she got done speaking, while she watched Minami fill out the paperwork.

Keianna took the clipboard back and pressed the power button for the computer, waiting for it to load everything up. She sat down in the chair and looked up to Minami. "That's truthfully up to you. With the boy asleep, my day has been freed. When would you like to start your class?" Keianna said as she looked down to the clipboard and looked at her class choice. She nodded, figuring that would be a good choice until she felt she could move up. "The beginner classes are Wednsday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday... Always at three since that's when school ends." Keianna explained to her, "Also, remember that you are not required to go to all of them. We know that people have lives and this isn't a contract. You come on the days you wish, the times will never change, and you will advance on your own time." By this time, the computer was on. She grabbed the mouse and began clicking through a few programs until she found the one she was looking for. She began to enter Minami's information, typing rather quickly through the process. Within a few seconds, she was done and then looked up to Minami. "I put myself down as your reference. I hope you do not mind." she said as she submitted the information and stood up, "It's rare that a member of the Tanaka Family actually refers someone to T.A.G. Mainly because Kisara has vanished, Kyoko is dazed, and I rarely see someone that I find worth it... So having them see that when you go to your first class, they'll likely treat you with the respect you deserve."

Keianna noted a different tone in Minami's voice when she moved on from the current subject with the word 'anyway'. Keianna immediately became interested in what Minami was going to say, especially since Minami had been quiet and following the entire time. This girl didn't seem like the type to just follow someone else around with nothing to say. She expected her to suggest something to do, but what came form her Keianna was not expecting. She actually asked to see Keianna in action. Keianna opened her mouth to talk, but then closed it again, thinking of a way she could do as Minami asked. Clearing her throat, she spoke up, "Well... I am not sure what you'd want to see. If you want to see a few moves, let's go out to the training yard." Keianna stood up and walked out of the office, down the same hall as before, but did not go through the same door. Instead, she turned another corner and stepped out of another door. She waited for Minami and would close the door behind her. In this area was a small grassy field with a lot of training equipment. "This is where those of the main house usually train." Keianna told her, explaining why they had a separate training yard for themselves.

In the training yard were three posts that stood in a line, each with what looked like rope wrapped around the top. There was also a long beam spread across the yard about five feet above the ground. There were also two metal hoops hung from chains and a thick metal pole. Off to the side were uneven bars that gymnasts use, another bar similar but no way near flexible, and then what looked to be a pit where people would light a fire. "Most of the stuff out here I put here myself because grandfather always concentrates on strength and speed. I wanted to concentrate on speed, focus, and flexibility... Some of this stuff is used by gymnasts. I prefer it used to practice." Keianna smiled happily at all of her equipment, proud of what she had here, but the smile soon faded. She looked back to Minami, "What would you like to see done?"

Keianna looked to both of the items that Minami pointed to and then turned her attention back to her. "Have you ever watched gymnasts? Or the Olympics?" Keianna asked as she stepped off to the side and slid out of her shoes. She then took off the vest she had been wearing for the day, just so she could wear a normal t-shirt in this process. Setting the vest on a hook, Keianna stepped over to the hoops that Minami pointed to first. They were a good seven to eight feet above the ground, about where Keianna's arms could reach when she was holding them straight up. Still they were slightly out of reach, so Keianna used a running start, jumped, and grabbed onto the hoops. In this process, she used her momentum to swing her lower body upwards and keep it straight up as if she were standing upside down. After a few moments, Keianna closed her eyes and allowed her body to drop, swinging three different times. One who was watching would notice that her skill and grace with these movements made it where the chains she was hanging from were stuck, the did not move, shake, or vibrate like they would in other circumstances. It was almost like she was only using them to prevent her from slamming into the ground, like she was spinning in the air without them even there.

The uneven bars were only a few feet in front of where she currently was. In her final spin, Keianna let go of the hoops and flung herself forward, grabbing swiftly onto the highest of the uneven bars and immediately moving into a flip. Once the flip was completed, she flung herself towards the lower bar, flying over it while spinning in the air. She then grabbed onto the lower bar, now facing towards the hoops and highest uneven bar, swung down under the bar and up again, letting go of the lowest bar to fling herself right back to the highest of the two bars. She swung her body upwards and stopped, upside down once again. Frozen for a moment, she slowly began to descend until her body was parallel with the floor. She stayed like that for a moment, her entire body being strong enough to hold herself in such a position. Finally, she opened her eyes and allowed herself to swing once more. This time, when she let go of the uneven bar, she flew over the lowest of the two and landed on the other side of them. Looking back to the hoops and uneven bar, she smiled. "Grandfather thinks these things are a waste. He feels I should concentrate on my strength and how well I can take a hit. Yet... because of my choice I am now faster than he is." Keianna explained as she looked back to Minami with a very sweet smile on her face.
