Ryo blinked. "So what...? You don't want to be a ninja?" He stayed where he was, impressed by Suoh's flexibility in the stretch. Also, enjoying the brief break in being hit.

Suoh shrugged, still holding his leg up. "It suits my purposes. It's going to let me do what I need to one of these days. But if I had it all to do over again, I probably wouldn't want to be a ninja, knowing what I know now. I have my own way of doing things, and it doesn't always jive with what they want me to do. When it comes down to that, I have to do what I'm told and I don't like it. My way's faster and gets the job done."

"Hmm..." Ryo thought about that for a moment. "Why don't they just let you finish things the way you want to, so long as it gets done?"

"Oh, some foolishness about the clients not being happy. Apparently clients have ideas about how the job should get done, which is why I usually only get sent on missions where they don't care. That way, everyone's happy."

"I... Don't get it..." Ryo had never had anyone tell him what to do or how to do it before. At least not like Suoh was describing. The closest he had come was Oki's instruction in class, which was nothing like that...

"What's not to get, kid? You'll see it for yourself some time."

Ryo shrugged. "Whatever you say, guy~" He grinned mischievously and launched into a renewed attack. That brief break left him feeling recharged, although still quite sore.

Suoh resumed the defensive, falling back into his lazy, easy dodging.

Ryo couldn't help but laugh at how much he was actually enjoying this! Sure, it was frustrating that Suoh was still finding him that easy to defend against, but there was also a thrill that went through him at being able to fight with someone who was -that- much better then he. Ryo wasn't even thinking about all of the deep bruses that were likely starting to form already.

"Let me know when you get tired, kid. Then I can really kick your ass," he smirked. He couldn't remember the last time he'd had this much fun! He couldn't defend like this with Micah and Izumi; they knew him too well. It wasn't that he found this particularly easy; this was just the way he had learned to defend himself. It made an opponent angry, sloppy, if they thought you weren't taking them seriously. He liked to taunt.

"I'm not tired!" Ryo laughed back at Suoh, not really trying to be convincing. They'd been sparring for a while now and he'd taken more then a few blows from the man that certainly didn't not hurt. "I'd like to see you try to kick my ass!" He taunted back, obviously already half beaten to any observer.

"You sure? I'm not gonna coddle you the way Oki does, and I've gone easy on you so far."

"I don't want you to!" Ryo stuck his tongue out at Suoh. "That way it'll be even more awesome when I beat you~"

Suoh didn't give any further warning, he simply switched into the offensive. His movements were quick, precisely aimed. If Ryo watched, Suoh moved like a striking snake: quick hit, retract, then hit again. This time, his attack wasn't limited to punches. He brought his legs into play against the boy, and would force him back.

"Ah!" Ryo gasped at the attacks, flinching but refusing to let that stop him. His flimsy defense was becoming weaker and more hits got through. Suoh was moving too fast for Ryo to be able to stop the majority of the hits. He was slowly being pushed back by the flurry of hits, although he'd occasionally manage a deflection and kept himself on his feet.
