Seirei's Private Training

This training spot is located between the rainbow glaciers, in a sort of valley if you will.

I walked here and looked for my sensei. As I looked at the glaciers I smiled, and came up with an idea. I wasn't allowed to flirt since my heart did belong to someone at the moment, and if I was to stay loyal to that person I couldn't do so as my sometimes plans in battle. I saw to it that I needed to find Icisia, I wondered what she had in store for me, but I couldn't find her.

"Icisia-sensei?" I called out, as I searched for her.

In a swirl of rose petals Icisia appears standing on a 4 foot tall boulder. Upon her face she is smiling, her hands on her hips at her sides. Her blue eyes scan the area a quick second, then turns towards her student, Seirei. She hops down off of the boulder and proceeds to speak, "Alright. I've got a few techniques that you may learn. They are for different aspects in battle; ranging from speed to defense to offense. I also may teach you a summon that has helped me in battles throughout the years. Are you ready?"

Btw, I am trying to decide on what summon to teach you also, and if I should teach you more of my jutsus once you master these. ^^"

I nodded and smiled as she appeared and spoke behind me. I was still partially bandaged up but nothing I couldn't handle when training. She said she would teach me some new moves, awesome aspects in battle. I was excited no doubt, but I needed to be ready for the tournament, so right now I needed to be determined and serious.

"Hello there Icisia-chan. I can't wait to learn these new jutsu. I want to be strong like you, and I want to win the tournament." I said making a muscle, and smiling towards her.

OOC: Cancel ze training. Seirei moved up in rank =]

After a burst of rose petals, Icisia is seen standing several meters away from Seirei. She smiled as she was witness to how much progress her student has made, going from a Genin some time ago to a Sannin from his hard work and dedication. Even now being his old teacher, Icisia was not 100% how she would fair against Seirei if they were to spar. She walks up to him saying quietly, "Good memories here, huh? You've grown so much Seirei. You're not that little kid any more. You're a Sannin, everyone respects you.. and you've earned it.

She smiles. "I would love a friendly spar. Hand-to-hand or perhaps jutsu? It'd be fun," she says as she approaches Seirei. Once she is standing directly in front of her old student, she tilts her head slightly, waiting for his answer.

OOC: I don't know how much I will be on to post here o.o snow storm! Btw did you get a few years older? xD Just wondering so I know what to say in the spar lol

OOC: I did not get older, I am the same age as before, and the same strength. I was just given the title of grand sannin from the tournament, otherwise my strength is still at genin level, and that's why I'm hesitant about a spar with you as well. But yea just to let you know, and I know, that stinks, but we'll definitely see each other sometime soon.

I looked at her directly in the eyes as my eyes, still the innocent but childlike emotion in them as always. I smiled distantly, and nodded. I stuck out my hand for a handshake, and waited for Icisia-chan to take it.

"Sure, I'll have a spar with you. It might turn out to be fun. And plus, I'll be up against my former teacher, which I still consider my teacher forever and always. Hm, maybe I'll get somewhere this time." I chuckled, and then hoped she would accept my offer, and maybe teach me some new moves.

OOC: Gotcha so technically I am still the more advanced o.o You are still learning. Thank you for clarifying that for me ^^

She nods to Seirei. "Do we want to use jutsu in this spar? Or perhaps go strictly hand-to-hand?"

OOC: No problem. Why'd you change your name?

I looked at her, and then thought a moment. Hm, what to do? I thought, we should go hand-to-hand first, that way we wouldn't tire out as quickly. My physical strength was immense, and so I needed to show that first. Before setting my foot down with jutsu, I needed to exert how much strength I had by quarters. So I shall.

"First, let's go hand-to-hand. And then we'll bring in jutsu, by your call of the victor of the hand-to-hand combat." I smiled lightly and got into a somewhat lazy stance, ready for her attacks. Time to show Icisia-sensei what I got.

She nods and gets into stance. "Alright, sounds good to me. Let's begin!" With these words Sawaii steps towards Seirei with lightning speed. To Sei, it seems as if she is going to go in straight on for a punch or kick, but no- she has another plan. She swings her right leg towards Seirei's head, but just before impact she instantly hits the ground placing her hands below her to hold her body steady. She then continues her spin but with her left leg towards Seirei's legs while her right leg (If it hit his face) has already swung around to the other side of Seirei's legs. Her feet are swinging towards each other and if Seirei doesn't act, they will meet and he will be knocked to the ground.

I smiled and waited for Icisia to make the first move. No matter the name, she would always be known to me by that name. And so as she came at me with lightning fast speed, all I did was smirk, and watch her movements intently. Taijutsu was something I was good at, and something my strength excelled in. Thank you Kazuki for all that training, I was one tough genin. And now to prove my worth as a Sannin. My dreams were being realized, and I had to live up to my purpose. Here I come, dreams.

"Wow you're pretty fast Icisia-chan." I had my eyes closed at the last second, now feeling for her movements. I sensed them. I knew her legs were converging on a place near the center of my body and if I didn't move then I would be knocked out. As I sensed her leg coming towards my face, I simply grabbed it with my hand tight, and stopped it before it hit me. Though I felt her hands steadying herself on the ground, and another leg coming at my legs. As the leg almost hit my own, I jumped up quickly, just by a little off the ground to avoid being tripped. As I knew I still had her leg within my clutch.. I deviated my body in a small squirm away from the center of her converging legs into a flip. A flip in which I took the leg I had in both my hands, and swung her to the ground with immense force. If this was successful she would be lying on the ground, right now, as I got back into a half lazy taijutsu stance, and opened my eyes once more. A smile came across my face instead of a smirk, and I waited for her next attack.

If not successful, then I would have been tripped by Icisia's kick, and landed on the ground taking one minor hit. But getting back and ready for her next attack.

OOC: Oh I changed my name cuz Icisia wasn't really working as an Uchiha name o.o and I wanted to make my own clan. So my maiden name would be Sawaii Ekisho xD

Sawaii grinned slightly as she felt Seirei take hold of her leg. Well, not really her leg entirely; he had a grip on her ankle to be more precise. She knew her first attack had not worked quite the way she wanted, but that was alright for her. She was just going with the flow of this spar so to speak, so win or lose she was just going to have some fun; it'd been a long time since she had a friendly spar. As Seirei swung her body towards the ground for a hard impact, she simply placed her hands upon the earth as if to do a hand stand. At the same time she takes her other leg and tightly presses it up against his hand; so that he may not be able to let go of her leg now. With knowing that he won't be able to let go now, she uses the momentum of his attack and the momentum of her own body to swing forward, catapulting Seirei. Well, not necessarily a catapult due to him being held down by Sawaii's feet. More like.. a faceplant towards the ground at high velocity.

OOC: Oh ok I see. But me likey Icisia-chan. :/

I noticed how she countered my counter to her attack. She was a clever one Icisia-chan, but she wasn't going to get away with this. I would take the hit from this one. Again, I would be going with the flow of the spar as well. I wanted to have fun, it was friendly anyway right? So as she forced her ankle into my grip I couldn't let go. She used her handstand to be able to gain control over my body. She stuck me to the ground with her feet, and my hand caught in the grip. She moved her body so that it was a high velocity face plant to the ground, which I took pretty hard. But I was fine... I got up in one piece and fine, just a little disoriented.

"Icisia-chan, you're quite flexible. But, let's see how you handle up against some of my best techniques. I am a pretty strong genin, and a pretty fast one too." With that I stood up once more getting into that same stance, and looking at her, waiting for her attack. I wouldn't give up, no matter how many times I was knocked down by her clever and tricky antics, I would continue on, and keep fighting, keep going till I had successfully defeated my sensei. Hand-to-hand combat was important to know as well as jutsu combat, and so I would continue on with the flow of the spar. I waited for her next attack patiently, and at the last second would close my eyes, sensing and feeling the atmosphere. Planning as she did what she would do next.

Sawaii smiled to her student as he got back up and prepared for another attack. She was impressed to see how strong he has become; for due to her bloodline that attack had to have knocked him a little silly for a second. She kind of felt bad though, physical attacks never really bothered her because of her crystal abilities. Her body was literally as tough as a crystal; that's why unlike many kunoichi, Sawaii and her sister could take a punch straight on and barely be fazed by it.

"Very nice, you're resiliant," she says to him as she stands up straight and gets back into stance.

I nodded and blinked a couple of times, wondering how she wasn't affected by any of my attacks. I probably concluded that her body wasn't a normal type of skin tone. It was more crystallized, hard. That way it would be more resistant to any type of taijutsu attack. I had to find a way around it. The only part I thought might not be hardened by the crystals would be her face, and if I could weaken a part of her, might that weaken all the rest? A question surely to think about.

I looked down and got back into that same small and subtle stance, but it was more of a stance now. Almost a solid pose, if you will. I was looking down, and a lopsided smirk had come across to grace my lips. Though I might have tried to hide my face, Icisia could still see that I at least was smirking. This led to me getting ready for another attack of hers. If I had to take attack after attack, a beating after another to win this then I would. I was strong and I knew it. Then I spoke.

"Yes, Kazuki's training has made me stronger you see. I have to live up to my name otherwise people won't respect me. I can't have them losing trust in me, and respect for me can I? I can't have myself lose my dignity and all my hard work of what I have earned to get to where I am today can I? I mean this is my dream, and that dream I intend to protect with my life, just as the one I love." A small blush came upon my face as a smile now, instead of a smirk came, and I looked up facing Icisia, catching her dead in a gaze. Our eyes met and I spoke with seriousness yet understanding and kindness in my voice. She could tell that this was no facade, and that in my heart, this was the passion of mine. Then again I spoke. "You understand don't you Icisia-chan?"

Sawaii listens carefully to her old student's words. They all made sense to her; he held a high position in society now, and he was always going to be held to the upmost to keep that respect he's earned intact. She warmly smiled and nodded, knowing that even though they were not only sensei and previous student, but they were close friends. A bond had been formed between them in Seirei's time of being a part of her team, but she also knew that no matter what the battle was, he was going to give everything he had, and she had to respect that.

Well, the battle must continue though, right? Sawaii grinned towards Seirei, making sure his eyes and hers met. There was a sort of playful twinkle within her eyes; she had no intent of hurting her student, just have a little fun. In an instant she vanishes from where she is standing; she's moving too fast for the normal eye to see. Suddenly from behind, Seirei would feel a palm penetrate his back, and then a leg swiping towards one of his legs. If this is contacted and Seirei falls, then Sawaii would use his fall against him, slamming one of her elbows into his chest making him fall towards the ground once more with great velocity. She makes sure though that in every hit she puts on her student that it does not hit a vital organ or nerve as to cause damage.

In my eyes she would find playfulness, as well as seriousness. I was determined, and well then there was protectiveness. A whole mess of emotions really. Pain, the usual, and innocence. Though I wasn't afraid, I couldn't be. Icisia-chan and I were friends, as well as she was my former teacher. I knew, naturally she would do nothing to hurt me. But I couldn't fight back, all I could do was let her hit me. I needed inspiration, and she was too fast. I was pretty fast on my own too, and pretty strong. But I didn't think I'd be able to defeat her in this battle. But I was not to give up.

"Wow, Icisia, you're fast." I couldn't even see her move, but as soon as I felt her presence behind me, I closed my eyes concentrating. At the last minute, I would leave behind an image of myself, giving the impression I was still there. All this, while the real me, appeared behind her with a wave and a friendly smile. I stuck my tongue out at her. I was a kid at heart.

"Hey there. You didn't think you'd get me with that did you? After image technique, pretty awesome yes?"

She stopped her elbow just inches from the ground and flipped backwards, landing on her feet with a playful grin upon her face. She claps a couple times, saying to Seirei, "Very nice. You had me there."

A smile, and then a chuckle came from me, as I nodded, crossing my arms and looking directly at her.

"Did I? Well thank you, I did not want to have to use that, but I did. You're really fast." I looked down. I was trying to think of a plan throughout all of this. My ace in the hole wasn't going to get me anywhere in a taijutsu fight. But I figured it was worth a shot anyway. I would unleash it soon. Then I looked up, meeting her gaze again.

"Icisia-sensei.." I began, almost going back to my years under her, as her student. "What is it you fight for?" I was curious.

A look of somewhat surprise crosses upon Sawaii's face as she listened to Seirei speak. "Hmm.. Well, I guess I fight for my family and friends. I am not one of those shinobi who fight to try and be the best; or to fight for vengeance. I cannot lie though, there is a certain someone I would fight for revenge... if he ever shows his face again. That was a very good question though Seirei, but now I have to know your reason," she says in a gentle tone to her old student.

I nodded listening to her speak. I noted what she did and didn't fight for. And her reasons were fair enough. Then she asked my reason for knowing what she fought for. Well I was curious to no doubt, but I definitely had others back in my mind.

"Very well Icisia-sensei. I was curious to know what you fought for. Your reason to fight. I also wanted to share with you mine, but I don't think that I should. I see that you have fair reasons, and I respect that sensei." I said this, becoming sort of deep and pensive. I had my fists lightly clenched into a ball, and I was looking down as the breezy wind blew. It was something I always admired and of course loved to feel. I then looked up at Icisia with the same gleam of innocence in my eyes I had as a child of Aurora.

"But, I love to hear them, so thank you sensei. Once more for everything." Then I thought...

'Something bad this way comes.. I sense danger.. and uncertainty. This can't be good..'

She nods to Seirei, gently smiling as she listened to him speak. With her senses heightened due to battle though, in the back of her mind she senses something.. something just, not right with their surroundings. Sawaii swings around and looks to the north intently, as if waiting. "Hmm.."
