The salle - Sunday afternoon

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

Ichigo have been lazing about for far too long. He needed to train, but the kind of training he had in mind wasn't really possible right now. Perhaps tonight, when his room mate was sleeping and he could leave his body without anyone noticing he was gone.

In the meantime he decided to check out the salle. He looked over the practice swords, but none of them came even close to Zangetsu - his zanpakuto, a sword all Shinigamis carried - in his unsealed form. He did find a wooden katana sword and deciding that would do for now, he picked it up.

It was strange feeling the wood in his hands. There was no connection with the blade and Ichigo wondered if maybe this was pointless. He was here now, though, so he might as well get some training in.

Practice sword in hand, Temari entered the salle for her spar. She nodded to the boy already there and looked around for Jaina.

Ichigo stopped mid-step, lowering the sword for a moment. "Hey."

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

Looking him over again more closely, Temari nodded again. "Hey."

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

Okay. Ichigo studied her just as frankly as he tapped the flat of the blade against the side of his leg. "Here to train?" It was a rather stupid question.

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

It was, but she was willing to ignore that. "Here for a spar."

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

He changed his grip on the sword and nodded. "I'm going to assume it's not with me unless I already managed to get in trouble without realising it." It was possible.

"Not unless it's a very convincing henge," Temari replied dryly. "Her name is Jaina."

[solo_sword]

Jaina arrived not long after with her practice lightsaber, still weirdly wired thanks to the fun of time lag. "Hey," she greeted her.

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Temari said with a small grin. What? It had been some time since she had a fight.

[solo_sword]

"Should I be worried you're smiling?" Jaina asked with one of her own.

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Only if you hold back," Temari replied with a much larger grin.

[solo_sword]

"That won't be a problem," she assured her. Everything was considered training right now, after all. "Need time to stretch out?"

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Only if you need to," Temari replied, twirling the sword. She was nowhere near as skilled with this as other weapons, but she could do well enough to not die for the most part.

Jaina'd come for her sparring session, but she gave a little acknowleding nod to the boy who was already there.

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

Perhaps he should have thought up a reason to be practising with swords. It would be hobby, that worked fine. Ichigo stopped, leaning the wooden katana on his shoulder. "Hey," he greeted. "I didn't realise this place was popular."

[solo_sword]

"Depends on the week, I think," Jaina admitted. "Half the time I come down here, it's just me."

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

He nodded. "It's kind of cool having a space like this at your school."

[solo_sword]

"I get the feeling it's useful," she said. It was for her, anyway. "I'm Jaina."

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

He nodded, having already heard that from Temari. "I'm Ichigo," he introduced himself. "And I suppose it would be, hearing the places some people are from." Not for him, nope. Not at all.

And at some point a certain mutant wandered into the la salle and took a seat to watch.

Why?

Girls fighting. Duh.

He resisted the urge to yell "CATFIGHT!"

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

And got a more than amused look once the fight was over. "Enjoying yourself?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Hey, girls beating the crap out of each other," Jamie said with a grin. "What's not to like?"

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

Temari rolled her eyes and grabbed him by the shirt for a kiss. "Should I expect to see you every time I spar with another woman?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"What? You don't want your own cheering session?" Jamie said letting himself be pulled in for the kiss. "Hell, I'd even bring pom-poms."

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"And one of those small skirts? You could borrow one of mine," Temari suggest with a smirk.
