 She put her leg back down on the ground, her shorts raising up just enough for Ichi to catch a glimpse of another tattoo, if he was looking (which he probably wasn't). A few more loud pops from Kiko, and she lay back on the ground, relaxing a bit. "Ah...feels good."Tsukiko Theme

Of course Ichi wasn't looking at Kiko's Tattoo,s or where they where located; he was more focused on the tree's, and animals around him; he never really got to see any wild life when he was at home; In Suna they really only had Snakes, Lizards, and Scorpion's and maybe an eagle here and there; but nothing like squirrels or Song Birds that where abundant in the land of fire; and while in the mist there seemed to be NOTHING alive at all; most likely all killed off, it just in hiding, not pretty can Live in a place like that after all; All Covered in mist; and the sun never breaking though; it was constantly dreary' almost the polar opposite of the Village hidden in the sand; which had the exact same problem; only for the opposite reason.
After the boy was finished watched the birds and small squirrel here and there the boy looked back over at Kiko and stood up. "Y-you h-have.... anything else before w-we start training?" Ichi asked with a smile on his face. He actually really liked the Land of Fire; it had the Positives of Suna; but without most of the negatives; at least to him it did.

Kiko sat up promptly, and grinned up at him. Was he...watching birds? Ah well. He deserved to watch a few birds-not like he'd had much to look at in Suna, right? All desert and nothing pretty, like they had here or in Kumo. "A few more stretches for me, then we can start training. Um...I should warn you that my taijutsu is mostly kicks and throws, so...I'll focus on the kicks for a bit, then switch to the throws. I might also utilize a bit of Chakra Scalpel in there too, since my hands are free a lot unless I'm attempting a throw..." She continued with her stretches, making sure that her muscles were completely ready for the abuse that they were going to take. Kiko didn't have time to stretch the last time she'd trained, so she'd been sore for the entire time she was traveling. It was a wonder she hadn't damaged something.Tsukiko Theme

Ichi remained standing there looking at Kiko; he was ready when ever She was. As he stood there some of the metal that was inside his coat softened before turning to sand and slowly floating out of his sleeves down to the ground. "A-alright.... s-so.... you read?" Ichi asked tilting his head slightly to the side as he asked this. After all he didn't want to start her training if she wasn't ready to start.

Kiko jumped to her feet, testing out her muscles for any weakness, and grinned, “Let’s go-think fast Ichi!” Her hand shot out to grab his, and she brought her knee up fast, towards his stomach area. It wasn’t anything he couldn’t block, but it would be extremely difficult to block for anyone who wasn’t Ichi or above chunin level. While she brought her knee up, Kiko twisted her body, setting the leg she’d just brought up down to the ground and swinging up high for another kick, this one towards Ichi’s head. Her face had lost the characteristic grin she usually wore, and now it was something akin to a face of determination-it was kind of scary, in a way.

As Kiko Told Ichi to think Fast; the boy didn't move' other then a single step backwards away from the girl; however the sand that had slithered to the ground shot up and blocked the Attack; giving a bit of leeway so that Kiko didn't hurt herself while kicking it. As the second Kick shot towards His head the Iron sand did the same thing and quickly moved in front of the attack, however at the same Time a tendril of Sand swiped the ground where Kiko's foot was attempting to knock her over; not hurt her; but if it made contact and Kiko didn't avoid it somehow in the middle of her kick; then it would easily take hr down.

Tsukiko felt her kicks blocked, and also felt the sand swipe her foot from underneath her, sending her flying towards the ground. A bit of quick thinking, and she slammed her hands down, swinging her foot around in a circle towards Ichi’s feet. The sand would still block it, but Kiko didn’t mind it, after all. It didn’t hurt, and she was glad for the help with training. After the swinging kick, Kiko pushed upwards, doing a back handspring to gain a bit of distance between herself and Ichi, before going towards him again, this time swinging one of her hands and a leg out at the same time. The balance was decent, but Kiko could be knocked over easily enough with a simple, gentle push from Ichi’s sand tendrils.

Just as before the sand moved up and easily blocked the attack; even without Shukaku; In order to block an attack all Ichi had to do was see it; his Chakra instantly molding it to where it needed to be without Ichi even needing to think about it; it was second nature now. However as Kiko sprang backwards away from him Ichi's head remained tilted to the side; he didn't really like the fact that his training made him attack Kiko' but they weren't full powered attacks if anything thy where just to make contacted enough force to block with. A moment later two Shots of sand bolted from Ichi's feet, one forming almost a moving tripwire at Kiko's feet and the other slitting into two orbs, sending on at Kiko's left and another at her right' if they hit they would hurt; but not very much, Maybe not even enough to leave a bruise.

Her eyes narrowed, and Kiko lashed out towards the sand orbs, attempting to bat them away, before smiling a little. Hmm…there was a potential distraction there….Kiko dodged one of the little orbs flying towards her, before using an upwards side-kick to send the other flying straight for Ichi. As the orb was flying, Kiko smiled, while using the momentum from the kick to send herself tumbling backwards in a slightly comical manner. Man, she’d definitely have a bruise on the bottom part of her foot-the sand was iron after all, and lobbing the equivalent of a four pound ball bearing with your foot was no easy feat. She skidded to a stop, and ran towards Ichi again, but this time kicking off, and using a downward kick towards his head.

As the orb that Kiko had hit back towards Kiko neared his head; the shape of Sand seemed to melt away; a few inches in front of Ichi's face the sand shape had vanished into the air. Ichi then looked at Kiko who was once again charging at him; he had feeling that Kiko had just hurt herself; but then again Ichi knew that Kiko wouldn't tell him; or act like it even if she did.
As Kiko neared closer to him and launched the kick at Ichi's head. The boy stepped back slightly once more time; a small half shell forming in front of Ichi; blocking in front of him; as well as above and to the sides of him; only the back being uncovered; however from Kiko's vantage point that was unknown to her. If Kiko backed away Ichi would lower the shield but not if she was going to remain right next to him.

The incoming sand shell had surprised Kiko a bit-she was expecting it, and it to be as every bit as fast as it was, but the manner in which it manifested was what surprised her. The kick threw her off of the shell, flipping backwards almost. She hit the ground with a thud, lying facedown for a moment, before getting up, panting heavily. The ground was soft-but not that soft-Kiko had a few visible grass marks on her knees and hands, as well as the fact that she was limping slightly now-kicking that little orb of iron sand was probably not the best idea on her part, as it had bruised the bottom part of her foot-the part she was using to kick with, and to step with. For now, she concentrated on something else other than the ache in her foot-though a few tears were going down her face silently as she continued to kick towards Ichi. A straight kick towards his mid-section, then a lower kick, then a higher kick, all in repetition and within tempo. Fighting was a dance after all, and if you fell out of tempo with your sparring partner of your opponent, things tended to get ugly….and messy. She stopped kicking for a moment, resting the aching foot with the heel protruding off the ground.

As Ichi stood there, he heard a faint 'thud' as Kiko hit the ground; after a few moments the sand lowered itself back down to the ground. "K-kiko?" Ichi asked as the sand lowered only then to see Kiko on the ground. "A-are you o-okay?" Ichi asked before Kiko got up; getting ready to kneel down to see if she was okay; however as he did that Kiko bounced up and sent a flurry of blows towards Ichi; who due to not being ready 'almost' got hit; the sand only blocking the first kick a few inches from Ichi's body; however the following one's where blocked just as before.
Ichi then looked at Kiko as the flurry of kicks ended; His head tilting to the side slightly as he did so, it looked like she was crying; at least a little; but it might have just been Ichi's imagination. "K-kiko.... a-are y-you okay?" Ichi asked with his head tilted to the side slightly; the sand that had blocked Kiko's kicks, remained floating in air in front of Ichi; mainly because the last time he asked if she was okay she had attacked him again.

Kiko nodded quietly, and tested out her foot. “Yeah….I think so…” Even a slight pressure on her foot was bothering her now-it’d be swollen for a bit, and she needed to sit down and remove her boot. “Um…it’s not your fault, okay? I overdo things, especially training.” She limped over slightly towards their camp site, and took a tumble, but rolled, though there was a series of awful noises that erupted from the little bundle that would have otherwise indicated pain. And Ichi had been right-there were tears on her cheeks, though Kiko either didn’t notice, didn’t know, or didn’t care if they were there or not. She sat still for a moment, looking perplexed at what to do-this wasn’t like the gashes that she’d received in the exams, or the splinters and cuts from her usual training. No, this pesky foot was more of a pain than any of the others. And it seemed that this bit of pain was something unusual to her-it was like a shock to her system almost.Tsukiko Theme

Ichi looked at Kiko as she slowly made her way back to the camp site; it was clear that she was in pain; seeing as how her cheeks had tears on them; however it also looked as though she didn't really care. "Y-you c-can heal that.... r-right?" Ichi asked walking over to Kiko; before sitting down next to her looking at her foot slightly before looking back at Kiko; it was clear that he was worried; but then again; when wasn't he worried about something or another?

She nodded, pulling off her boot. Her foot was swelling, and held a nasty bruise on the side-round, of course, like an orb. A grimace was all it took to see that this was not comfort for her-this was deeper than what it appeared. Kiko rolled up her sleeves, and probed at her foot, concentrating as she massaged the swollen area. It hurt like hell, and she bit her lip, piercing it to keep the pain from her foot from being so intense. A slight dribble of blood trickled down her chin, and she carefully propped her foot up, leaning back against a tree that was in the site. A bit of heavy breathing was in order, and Kiko couldn't mess with her foot for the moment-it hurt too much. Her feet were sensitive to touch, after all...."No...biggie..." she mused, looking at Ichi, blood still dribbling on her face. She gave him a half grin, but it was laced with some other mixed emotion-it wasn't a clear singular emotion, but maybe a combination of several emotions.Tsukiko Theme
