 I hope that this would not be a bother but I am curious.

Is anyone interested in sparring with me? The only requirement is if they can handle short distance fighting.

[He manages to do so but it was a small cut. Thank goodness she was usually rather quick on her feet as she dodge most of it. As she moved away, she looked down and smirked. She once again disappeared to be hidden in a nearby tree]

[Action]

[bakegarasu]

[... Well. Otoha grins, and leaps up into the trees. If he can't see her right now, he'll just wait until he can pounce.]

[Action]

[ashihara]

[With that said, Chitose quickly tried to outrun him by leaping tree to tree. Winning wasn't important but she hated to lose. There was no way she was going to make it easy]

[Action]

[bakegarasu]

[He chuckles, and chases after her. His natural agility is working in his favor as he races towards her.]

[Action]

[ashihara]

[In the meantime, she was quickly trying to find another way to attack him. So, he's as quick as she was.

Well then, she makes a leap back to the ground and waits for him as he follows through]

[Action]

[bakegarasu]

[He jumps down as well, only taking the briefest of pauses before launching after her.]

[Action]

[ashihara]

[She waited for him to make an attack and went to duck if anything were to happen]

[Action]

[bakegarasu]

[He launches another forward attack, an overhead slash this time, using his height to his advantage.]

[Action]

[ashihara]

[She wasn't expecting that and decided to move to the side as quickly as she could. However, he managed to take a good slash on her leg. Ow]

I underestimate you. [She said as she looks as her bleeding leg. She moves around a bit before straggling a bit]

[Action]

[bakegarasu]

It happens.

[He pauses, a little hesitant to keep going if she's injured.]

Do you need a bandage? I have some in my jacket...

[Action]

[ashihara]

[As much as she hated to lose, he was right. She did rely a lot on her legs and if one goes down...]

Yes, I believe so. I appreciate your willingness to help me.

[Action]

[bakegarasu]

It's no problem.

[He pulls out a roll of white bandages from one of his coat pockets, tossing it to her.]

[Action]

[ashihara]

[As she sat down and quickly bandages her leg...]

Do you want to continue this spar? [It would be rude to suddenly stop without asking him first...]

[Action]

[bakegarasu]

I wouldn't want to push you too far on that leg.

[Action]

[ashihara]

[She looks at it once more. She hated to lose but...]

Perhaps you're right...it would be best to admit defeat.

[Action]

[bakegarasu]

[... Aw. Why are you such a cute kid.]

Not defeat. Just a pause for now.

[Action]

[ashihara]

Perhaps...[A sigh]

It is rather difficult to admit that I lost.

[Action]

[bakegarasu]

I know the feeling.

[Action]

[ashihara]

Oh really?

Do you wish to tell?

[Action]

[bakegarasu]

There's not much to tell. I've just been training with a sword most of my life and losing isn't something I like.

[Action]

[ashihara]

It seems that we have something in common. I too have been training with my katana for most of my life as well.

However, it was mostly out of protection.
