((Got called away from the computer to do something.))
Nodding at Jades answers to her question she waved watching the other woman head up for the night. Sipping more of her drink she slumped over the counter sensing that all of the different mana signatures had faded into what appeared to be sleep. Shrugging she decided sleep wasn't a bad idea. Draining the contents of her wine flute she put away the glass and grasped her sword. Heading toward the lounge where Unks was quietly sleeping she went to see how he was doing. Smiling over her fiance she proceeded to draw a series of runes in the air. Crackling into existence appeared a small 3 foot portal. Reaching in she proceeded to produce a blanket. Laying it over the sleeping man's form she smiled, kissing his forehead. Yawning she stuck her hand within the portal. Within moments it expanded to accomodate her body. Slipping through she went off to bed herself.

(I must say that Pith last post was one of the cutest things I've seen. It made me smile when I just read it. Even though I wasn't on at the time she still interacted with Unks. Thanks Pith. .
I am on my lunch break now guys but I will be home around 6 I hope for some rest before bowling tonight. See you all then! ::Waves:: )

The elevator whirled to life as it always did when someone summoned it to be a passanger. A moment after it reached the main room floor, Jade stepped out of it with a smile on her face. She wore a slighlty torn white tank top, black short and boots, along with black gloves that reached up past her wrists. Her gloves and boots were both weighted slightly as she walked with a slightly heavy step into the club.
"Hmm...looks empty...."

The girl sighed slightly as only silence answered her, walking slowly over to the bar. She grabbed a coke from the fridge and popped it open, taking a slow sip. Then she walked out again and leaned against the edge of the counter at the end, humming softly to herself.

Jade closed her eyes for a moment, tilting her head back as she hummed. The words to the song were long forgotten in her mind, but she could still remember the song, having learned it when she was a child.
After a few minutes, she stood up straight again and drank some more coke before turning towards the hallway and taking a right, heading for the stadium, still humming.

Jade walked down the stairs slowly, her tail swinging gently behind her. THe stadium was completely empty except for her, and she was still humming, the sounds bouncing off the wall as little as she rose her voice. Taking her time, she walked over to the ring itself and hopped up into it and walking towards the center.
She smiled a little and took up a basic stance, once again practicing her katas in a slow, fluid manner. Like a dance, she stared out slowly, very gradually picking up speed and getting more complicated, spinning and ducking at times.

As Jade continued uninterupted, the dance became more rigid. She began to make attacks against unseen foes, her hands snapping to a stop in the air. Her face had become more serious, falling away from the dream-like gaze she had on a few moments before. Her can of coke sat forgotton at the edge of the ring.
Yet even with the change in her style, she was still humming the song, her body moving in sync with it as the beat picked up.
Jade snapped her hands forward again, droplets of sweat flying off as it clung to her skin and parts of her long hair. Her green eyes had remained shut the entire time, letting herself become lost in her practice.

Eventually Jade opened her eyes, her attacks becoming fiercer and shaper with each move. There was a faint sheen to her skin now from the sweat, but she didn't stop for a moment. The more she continued, the harder and aster her attacks became, until they were almost a blur. The air cracked as her ki slowly intensified, though her aura wasn't visible yet.
"Hah."
The song she had been humming faded away into just her mind, now breathing out and accenting each strike with her voice. The sounds echoed around the stadium as she continued.
"Hah."
"Hah."

"Hah."
Jade kicked out with her right foot sideways, holding it out for a moment, before turning and spinning on to it, kicking her other foot up fromt eh ground.
"Hyah."
She landed and lunged forward from her stance, stabbing out with her left elbow, bracing her arm with her right hand. Then she turned to the opposite direction and punched out hard, sweat droplets flying from her fist.
"Hyah!!"
Jade stood perfectly still, remaining in her last stance with her right fist out, breathing in heavily as a large drop of sweat ran down her face. Slowly, she put her arms down and relaxed her stance, standing up straight. Still breathing heavily, Jade walked slowly over to where her Coke can was sitting at the edge and flopped down next to it.
Amazingly, the can was still cold and she lifted it up and put it to her head for a moment, letting out a content sigh as the cold metal hit her skin. After a moment, she pulled it down and took a long sip, slowing her breathing down to normal again.

"I see you've gotten your motivation back," Keno says as he enters the arena from the dark corridor. His footsteps didn't echo as they usually did which suggested he either floated along ro just arrived. To either end, he was there long enough to know what Jade was up to, which worked all the better for him. He seemed a bit more relaxed, not at all like his presentation the night they arrived. Nevertheless he was set in his way. He approached Jade slowly, standing just shy of the ring as he kept his gaze on her. When he stopped he merely eyed her for a moment.
"You've been training pretty hard I see. Either that or you're badly out of shape to be sweating." He said with a kind smile. "Naturally this is the part where I come in and request a friendly spar between us. This will be a preliminary to your training so if hold back, you'll be in for a rough start." Though he had proposed and accepted her position as his student, he could not deny her free will. Whether or not this behavior continued though was uncertain.

Jade lifted her head and smiled at Keno as his voice rang out in the silence. She was more than glad to see him the way he usually was, and not the scary Keno she'd seen the night she and Deity had come home. She took another long sip of her soda as he approached, not speaking quite yet.
She laughed a little though when he mentioned her training.
"I'd like to think it isn't because I'm out of shape...though having been in freezing tempuratures for a few months and then coming home to this makes it seem pretty warm...."
Jade smirked a little, finishing off her soda as Keno proposed a spar between them. She crushed the can easily in her hand, wadding it up like it was a ball of paper and placing it on the edge of the ring.
"Sure, why not? Just let me catch my breath for a few moments...."
She smiled at him, wondering how she'd fair against her Nii-chan. After all, she didn't really have much of an idea how strong she'd gotten while she was away....

"Okay then." The ageless warrior stepped forward, hopping into the ring lightly as he strolled to the far side of the ring, his arms crossed firmly over his chest as usual. A streaming current of air trailed closely behind him, but posed no real threat to anyone. With each step his ki increased, aiming for its peak. He didn't feel this was particularly necessary, but he did not intend to hold back. In order to train her properly, he'd fight her almost as though he were about to kill her, though the worst she could expect is a few days bed rest if she got too careless.
"Whenever you're ready we can begin. The only condition I have is this. For the duration of your entire training with me, you are NOT to ascend to Super Saiya-jin. If you wish to grow as a warrior, you must depend on your base power. It is the only way we grow." This was a recent philosophy Keno had adopted, having contemplated his many recent transformations prior to the Fierce event. He almost became too dependent on the power that could be used. The only problem was that he had to sacrifice a great deal of skill to do it. Jade wasn't to take that road under his wing. These thoughts in mind, his arms glided apart, his left hand extending open-palmed, his right resting at his waist closed-fist. His feet spread and his chest puffed with air as he took a deep breath. He hadn't fought anyone in a while, so he had high expectations for this.

Jade reached up and wiped the little sweat remaining off of her brow, stretching her legs out in front of her before she stood up again. Slowly, she turned around and faced Keno, moving her arms and legs slightly, even though she was already loosened up. Her tail curled around her waist, locking itself in place like a furry belt until she needed it.
She could feel Keno's power rising, and realized full well that he wasn't going to be holding back against her. She sighed a little and closed her eyes for a moment, opening up all the channels to her power, letting it flow freely within her. She was going to need it, along with her instincts and senses.
For the moment, her ki remained dormant until the battle began, ready to shot up at a moment's notice. Jade looked over at Keno and nodded slightly.
"Ready when you are, Nii-chan Sensei."
She turned her body sideways, leaving as little open as possible. Her right leg forward and left behind her, her hands looked relaxed as she held them up, fingers spread and slightly opened.

"No need to call me Sensei." In an abrupt action, Keno shifted from a smile to a serious expression and was just as quickly gone as he ran towards Jade, arching to the right. The air about them could be felt moving in his general direction from every dimension, keeping himself aware of movement near him. His left hand, still in place, tensed as a force of wind raced toward her. This was similar to a kiai except it would not push against Jade, were she to stand still, but merely knock her off balance. He jumped immediately after, flipping forward and extending his left leg out so that his ankle would come down on her shoulder like a knife on celery.
