A Tail Swishes [Closed]

"I see..." she spoke in a calm tone, closing her eyes as she took in a small breath and let it out in a sigh, "That is your definition of happiness... People can smile whenever they want to. It does not mean they are truly happy. A person with no smile on their face has the ability to be the happiest of most. I am one of those people..." Her vision of happiness was different then some peoples. She just wasn't one to smile all the time. It was fine this way. She liked her life, whether she showed it in the manner that others did or not. His explanation of what he was confused her slightly. She merely listened to him. How could one not be proven dead or alive? That was a concept she did not understand and somewhat did not even believe. After he stopped speaking for a moment, she spoke up, right after his 'it's what makes me happy' statement. "Do not try to make everyone happy..." she said to him, "It will only end up causing you to be unhappy in the end. Until you are one hundred percent content with your life and happy in your own way, then you do not concentrate on others. And don't try to tell me that you are happy when you just admitted you have no satisfying lifestyle and that you were looking for someone to ease your loneliness... That isn't happy."

With his next question, she closed her eyes and laid her head against the wall behind her. She thought to herself for a moment, allowing the silence of the world to take over for a while. All that could be heard around them was a cricket off in the distance and the breeze moving through the city. Relaxing a bit, as her hair blew in the breeze, she came up with her answer. After a few moments, she stood up straight, opened her eyes, and looked to him. "What satisfies me...." she said, stopping for a moment. She held out her hand, closing it as if she was holding on to something. Within the blink of an eye, a snow white sword formed in her hand. It had a pinkish aura and radiated of her own energy. "What satisfies me is my training. The known fact that I am skilled in many ways and the fact that I have my power. I'm intelligent, noble, honorable, trustworthy, honest, and most of all... I am alive and I am loved. I need nothing else. I want nothing else. I am grateful for what I have and I could not be happier." She looked at this sword in her hand as if it were a part of her, as if it were a precious item. Even with her calm exterior, her eyes still held the emotions of a young teenage girl. Keianna was happy.

Keianna had nothing she could respond with now. She just listened to him talk until it came to the time where he mentioned her training. "Yes. It is something I like to do a lot." Keianna said to him with a small nod. He then asked for a spar, causing her to raise an eyebrow. She glanced away and thought for a moment. "I guess it would not be a problem. I have time. When is it that you would want to spar?" she asked him. Once he answered, she would nod and then continue on. "Well... I will say this." she began and then stood up straight. She turned towards him and spoke slightly more official than she usually did, which was odd since she was in her pajamas. "You get to choose what type of spar it is. If it is within the confines of this Facility, then it will not be power based. No spiritual powers will be used." she said and then waited for his reaction. After she got it, she continued, "If it is outside of the facility, then really all methods are up to you. I will likely just stick with normal hand to hand combat. I am not one that enjoys sparring with powers. A spar is training... So using full power is not something I would do." Keianna was skilled, but her powers were limited. She didn't like using them very often, so she did not always attempt to develop them like others did. Her grandfather disagreed with this, but until she felt a need for them to be stronger, she was fine with what she had.

Keianna nodded at his choice. His next statement caused her to shoot a glare at him. She didn't appreciate being assumed weak. She said nothing because for all she knew it might be true. With his aura, she wasn't too sure. It was also a fact that she didn't have the most destructive of powers. She had to rely on her regular skill, not some gift, to keep herself alive in battle. As he jumped to the top of the gate, Keianna placed her hand on it and easily pushed it open. With the size and thickness of this gate, it was obvious that it wasn't the lightest of walls. It was made of pure wood. Keianna was able to slide it open with just the tips of her fingers. She wasn't weak. Stepping inside the confines of the Tanaka estate, she glanced up to him. "What's your name anyway?" she asked in a calm tone as she began walking away, assuming that he was just going to follow her. She headed down a small path, passed a few houses (including the main house), and up to a building. It was a dojo. She stepped inside and waited for him to pass into the building. Once he did, she'd close the door. Obviously she took his ask for a spar seriously. She wasn't even hesitating. She assumed he wanted it now and that was what she was going to give.

"With or without weapons?" she asked him. Once he answered, she'd look to him with a serious face. "You do understand that when in the confines of this facility you are not allowed to use any spirit based abilities, whether offensive or defensive?" Keianna waited for his answer. Once he would give it, she would nod and take in a deep breath. Depending on his answer, she would either ask if he was ready or explain what she means. Also, she was very much aware that she was still in her pajamas. She didn't care. It didn't matter much to her. they were loose fitting, comfortable, and not expensive. She kicked her slippers off to the side so they would be out of the way, not wanting to randomly slip during the fight.

"Interesting name..." she said in reply to him, "I am Keianna Tanaka." She leaned her head to the left, then to the right, obviously stretching out her neck. She swung her arms around and hopped back and forth on each foot to stretch out her arms and legs as well. Leaning all the way forward until her hands touched the ground she stretched her back out and then stood up straight. She walked over to a sliding door. She opened it up and glanced inside. She grabbed onto a normal katana and tossed it towards him. "I am unsure of what weapons you usually use, but here." Keianna said and then looked back and grabbed onto another. Coming out of the side room, she closed the door with her own katana in hand. It was just a normal katana, nothing special about it. It wasn't made of wood either. It was a blade. Unless he asked for something different. This is what he was going to get.

"All right Schrodinger Yuudeshi. I am sorry, but I will not be taking the first move. I'll allow you to make the first move, since you are the guest and technically the challenger as well. Explain how intense you wish this spar to be? Would you like basic moves? Intermediate? Advanced? Or would you prefer us to go all out and just fight until one or both drop?" She moved to the opposite side of the dojo, now turning to face him. She stood there waiting for his answer to her questions. Once he answered them, she would speak no longer. She'd move her body sideways, her left shoulder towards him and her right shoulder towards the back. Raising her hands upwards, she did not ball them into a fist, but instead kept her palms up and ready. Now this was all up to him and how he wished to begin. She had given him the first move and that is how it was going to be.

"I am ready." she nodded to him. A small hint of excitement was in her tone when she told him. When he continued, saying he wished for them to go all out, she actually had a small smile creep onto her lips. Although it might seem sadistic for someone like her, it was actually happiness. It had been a while since she got a new person to fight. Usually she was training students or sparring with her grandfather. "Well then I will attempt not to disappoint you." she took a quick bow and then readied her blade in the manner of which she cared for. She held it within her left hand and a bit lower then most people, having it come below her waist. The sharp edge of the blade was facing towards Schrodinger, while the tip was pointing towards the wall at their sides. Her other hand lay behind her back, her body completely parallel to his at the moment. And then he charged. She wasn't exactly sure what to make of his demeanor or the way he was moving, but he seemed a bit rough. She was able to anticipate his attack for the moment. To prevent any damage, she moved her shoulder slightly and brought it out of the way of his blade. She didn't understand why he moved for her shoulder when it was so far out of his reach, but then realized when his blade shifted that his real target was her stomach.

As his blade came around towards her stomach, she quickly raised her own. Their blades made contact. Using her own blade, Keianna pushed his upwards, forcing it out of it's intended path and passed her own shoulder. The moment this was done, her arm and blade were upwards and already in position for her next move. She merely swung her blade outwards, to her left, and in a semi-circle. If this was not dodged, Schrodinger would be slashed straight across his chest. Using the momentum of the swing, she'd bring her right knee upwards and send it aiming for Schrodinger's left side. If he was hit by this, it is not a full powered kick, so he would feel a slight bang and likely be a little bruised. If he dodged this, she would continue through the knee, placing her right leg back down on the ground and spin. Mid-spin, she'd raise her left leg and swing it high into the air, her shin heading for the side of Schrodinger's head. If this hits, he'll likely become dizzy and maybe be pushed off of his balance.
