Kumori was alone in the trainig grounds after a long day of training under the academy's sensai's, now he just wants to practise, but no one seems to have stayed after class finished. He decides that going throught that Katas a few times is better then nothing.
Kumori starts going through the katas, going through the rutines faster and faster each time he restarts.
Losing himself in the forms he becomes fully aware of everything going on around him, he has never felt this sensation before. He hopes that he will be able to still feel this when he finishes his practise today.

Rujuuru was a newbie to most training, and she wasn't really aware of the fact that she had abilities, anyway. She sat in a soft patch of dirt watching Kumori train. It wasn't the first time she had seen or watched someone train, she wasn't very adept at it herslef, but most of the time she wouls sit and calculate other people's speed, and stamina.
Very interesting...

Kumori senses Rujuuru sitting down to watch his training. He decides that he will complete this kata and go through one more then stops panting in the center of the training grounds, staring directly at Rujuuru. Catching his breath he says, "Hi, did you like what you saw?"

Rujuuru smiled and tilted her head to one side in a bashful manner, she was quite quiet and shy for a young girl. Most young girls are perky and full of energy. Rujuuru was just solemn and quiet. Rujurru brought her thumb and index finger to the side of her glasses and adjusted them upong her ear.
Very much so, you seem to be quite the fighter...

"Why thank you," Kumori replies. Thiinking this one seems to be very quiet for a girl his ager, usully they talk so much that he is just trying to find a way to leave. "So how long where you standing there?" he asks.
I wonder if she wants to train with me he thinks as he walks toward the edge of the training grounds to grab something to drink.

Rujuuru smiled, and brushed some stray hair away from her face. Sometimes her hair could be a little unmangable, and in such events she normally had to brush it away from her face alot.
Oh, nary fifteen minutes or so, I suppose...

"Well if you where watching for that long you might have noticed if i made any mistakes in the Katas you watched me perform. Did you notice any?"
Knowing that he threw in a couple mistakes just for this reason, think that if she is any good she would have picked up on these mistakes. Well I will find out soon enough if she picked up on it.

Rujuuru was by no means good at fighting, and she hadn't even figured out she carried such abilities as it were. She was just watching him to trace his speed and stamina, and that was all in just simple math. Something she was rather good at for someone her age. She crossed her arms and rose to her feet from the sitting postition she was in on the ground.
I was just tracking speed and stamina, I'm not really adept enough to track things such as mistakes. For me it's all intellectual capabilities, and whatnot, and for tracking speed you use math, for tracking stamina use you simply observe. However your speed is supernumerary, I haven't seen anyone as quick as you, and I watch alot of people.
Rujuuru smiled, she was quite intellegent for someone for her age, and it was evidant, by the way she talked and carried herself.

"Really, well there were a few mistakes I commited knowingly to see if you picked up on them."
Kumori thinks she will not be any good to train with in a sparing match, but it could be fun to see if she has any natural talent.
"Well then perhaps you would like to learn then, i could help you out a little."

I'm always one, who enjoys a good intellectual challenge, this will test the body, and the mind. Something I'm naturally fond of... Who's says you can't learn and get a good work out at the same time, eh?
Rujuuru released her arms from the crossed bind that she had placed them in, and let them fall limp to her sides. She walked over to him, and quickly pushed her bronze frames up the bridge of her nose.

"hahaha," Kumori replies with a broad smile on his face "always trust a woman to describe everything so that it does not seem as fun"
"Well lets get started then. I will go through the kata first at a slow pace so you can see the moves it requires, then you try to copy what i am doing while i watch you and correct any of your mistakes." Kumori says while assuming the first moves of the kata...
"See just like that, not that hard at all. Now it is your turn, lets see what you can do."

Rujuuru studied his body positioning for a brief moment before slinking into his postioning slowly, She looked at him and observed his positioning oncer more, untils eh finally stopped and smile for a brief moment, before settling into her posture.

Wow she is a natural, there are a couple minor mistakes but that is to be expected.
"Not bad, here try doing it like this." Kumori says, "there thats better, now try it a little faster."
While Rujuuru continues to goe through the Kata over and over Kumori walks over the the water bottle. He continues to watch her moves, she seems to get better with each run through the Kata. Kumori had never seen someone pick up on a Kata this quick.
"Here lets take a break, catch" he says throwing the water bottle to Rujuuru.

Rujuuru extended an arm forward and catched the water bottle in mid-air, she unscrewed the top and took a quick swig from it. She was quite thirsty after such a workout. She brought the water bottle down from her mouth and and used her available hand to wipe her mouth of the droplets of liquid that had leaked out of the nozzle of the bottle during the swig.
That was quite the work out, if I may say so myself. A little intense and tiring, though, and I'm very sore...
Rujuuru rubbed her back and taking another swig from the water bottle, it was already almost gone, but Rujuuru blamed it on missing her mouth all the time. She must've had a hole in her lip or something because it was always very hard for her not to drop food or pour water, all over her.
hehe, Oops...
Rujuuru chuckled, and brought the water bottle down from her lips for a brief moment giving Kumori a soft look. She smiled and brought the water bottle back up to her lips taking a final swig, finishing off the bottle. Once she did so she finally brought it down to her side, and she smiled. Rujuuru never really smiled with her teeth, it was always a smile with her thin pink lips pressed into a firm line on her rounded pale face.

"haha, you picked up on the Kata really fast for someone who has not had much training in hand to hand combat." Kumori says as he grabs two more bottles of water. "Well time to stretch out so our muscles don't cramp up from the work out, then we will take a break" Kumori shows her the proper stretchs to use to stop the different muscle groups from cramping up after a good work out.
"So how are you liking the Academy Rujuuru?" Kumori says while walking over to be in the shade of a near by tree.
