 "hn, that seems fair enough" Kratos then added. "though I have one rule. there will be no use of hands in any way to distribute physical damage to another unless it is by using the sword. Any breaking of that rule and it will count as a forfeit" His tone was serious, he had promised himself that never again he would use his hands to harm someone, after an incident involving death.

 Taini raised an eyebrow. It would be a little hard for him, as some moves were combonations of the two....he would just have to ignore those. "Agreed then." The blonde's eyes were rivited on the other, he awaited the charge, the attack, heart beating just a bit above normal. He had never sparred or fought with anyone other than his family. Kicked out a few drunks...but they were so drunk they could barely stand... this was a bit different.

"alrihgt since everything's settled, I'll let you make the first move" Kratos said, now in fighting stance. His eyes were fully on the other, preparing for whatever might be thrown at him and also looking for weaknesses in the blonde one's defense.

Taini frowned slightly, he preferred it when his opentents came to him... no matter, it'd be more like home after all. They never took the first strike. The blonde twisted his wrist so the sword went from resting, to up in the air. His feet began to move, as he slowly advanced on the other, sword held at an angle, tip pointing high to the left.
Then, at a point, Taini charged forward, sweeping the sword in an arch towards the other, aiming for the tender joint flesh between the neck and the shoulder. It was up to the other to block. It would smart greatly if not blocked.

Kratos quickly dodge out of the way, it would've been unwise to block then. He the ran towards Taini, aiming to hit the other in the back though he was careful to avoid the spine. If the spine was hit acidentally, the blonde one could be paralyzed, till how knows when.

Taini took the blow to the back, but swiftly turned on his heel. His sword arm was the closest to the other gehaka now, and it was aimed at Kratos' side. The smarting on his back was easy to ignore, and nothing different from any other day. How the brown haired gehaka had gotten around him was a bit of a miff, Taini supposed since he was a bit bigger, he'd be a bit slower.

Kratos wasn't fast enough so he took some of the blow before he blocked. He stayed there, in defensive mode, it was much easier to wait for the blonde one to make another move first. He made sure that he left as little of him vulnerable as possible.

When the other stopped, Taini's mind paused. What was he doing now? But his body kept moving. Twisting the blade with his wrist, the blonde pulled it slightly up. This was sparring, he could do this move without worrying of getting hurt too much. Had they been really battling, this move was one some one used only if they knew it'd be the last blow. It left the attacker open at the same time he attacked.
The blunted sword went for the ribs, as Taini pulled at it with a good amount of strength. It would smart nicely, like his back. The blonde was grinning as he did this.

Kratos took the blow in purposely. Though he did not let out any sign of pain. Knowing that the attacker was open, he thrusted his sword, aiming for Taini's stomach. The gehaka felt that in order to be sucessful in battle, there were some times when you had to block, some times when you had to dodge, and there were some times you needed to take the blow.

Taini sucked in his stomache as much as he could, and turned his body, so he only got hit half way. There was a grin on his face.
"I guess we're more even matched then either of us thought we would be." He took a couple steps back, to regain his stance. There was a slight strach on his stomache from the sword, and it had began to bleed. No matter, he was ready once again.

"you are a formidable opponet. I do not wish to fight anymore. we are both equal in strength" Kratos said and sheatehd his sword. He turned around and began to walk away. "when I get stronger, I wish to spar with you again. And next time I'll win"

"If I do not get stronger as well!" Taini grinned. This had been nice, even if Kratos still acted as if there were a large stick up his... well, the rest was not nice.
The blonde gehaka crouched over the pond and splashed himself with water. The cut needed some aid, but not right away. He removed the blunting from the sword and sheathed once again. Using some of the cloth, he wiped his face dry, and pressed it to the cut. Using his other hand he fixed his hair.
What else was there to do today? He might visit Tsukiko...He smiled softly at the thought.

Kratos sat at the edge of the pond, sharpening his blade with a rock. There really wasn't much to do. He was sent off to go help his mother's husbands with Tsukiko and Taini's wedding present but he only gets in the way there. They're goign thoruhg so much trouble just to build Tsukiko a manor, that haka probably won't have any use for it anyway. On the gehaka's body appeared some fresh scabs in which he recieved by training. He fet he needed some pracice on tolerating pain. He also had some bruises from the spar with Taini that took place awhile ago.

 Sada had spent a few hours in the field this morning, before his mother had run him off grumbling about something or other. The haka had been dissapointed about his birthday, that none of his husbands knew what to get him. Sada had been the only one to help them, and now they were getting the brunt of it for "sneaking around" for information.
It made the raven haired gehaka chuckle.
He headed off to the place he went to relax, the pond. Another gehaka was already there it seemed....
"Hello!" He called out, smile on his face.

Kratos turned his head. Hn, another person to bother him. That is just what he needed. He glared at the other. "hn, what do you want?" He asked. He shifted his gaze from the other gehaka and stared at the water in the pond. Why does every have to be so social nowadays?
