Training Hall

[Apathetic Writer]

One of the most important locations in the Hirase House for something other than Kido, that is the sparring hall. With permission, anyone can really use this. It is rigged with mechanisms that can create various courses to help those who are training reach another level.
When no courses are activated, it looks like an average sparring hall or dojo, where people can also spar against eachother.

This is usually always in use, whether its by Shuzo and Ayame while training Kata and Kanami, or just by other guest that are allowed within.

It's not like I'm walking alone into the valley of the Shadow of Death.
Stand beside one another, 'cause it ain't over yet.
I'd be willing to bet that if we don't back down..
You and I will be the ones that are holding the Crown in the end.

〖 "For the last time, Shuzo-kun, the team's name is Team Zaraki!" A loud voice called, the sound echoing through the Sparring Hall. The voice belonged to a woman with long copper hair that had been braided to keep it out of her face. She was wearing her usual outfit, a peach colored long sleeved shirt, and white pants, completed with a crimson scarf that had been given to her by her friend. Ironically, the same friend she was yelling at right now. "Team Murakami just doesn't have the same bad a** ring to it." Ayame smirked and put her hands on her hips as she looked at Shuzo. "Besides, the name Zaraki has a reputation. People fear that name!" For the umpteenth time, the two were arguing about what the name of their small team should be called. Ayama and Shuzo were both the leaders of it, the Sensei's to Kata and Kanami, the Hirase childred. And both were too stubborn to ever admit defeat over anything, even if it was something as petty as a name.

Ayame drooped her arms around Kata and Kanami's shoulders, grinning. "Right, Kata? Kanami? Zaraki is a better name?" she asked the two. Kanami just blinked in surprise at suddenly being pulled against Ayame. "Um...I.. I think both names are fine.." she said nervously. Ayame pursed her lips slightly, then released the children from her grip, shrugging. "Whatever, I guess we can battle for a name later, right, Shuzo-kun? she asked with a grin, her eyes promising that there would, indeed, be a fight to solve this. But right now, they were gathered for another training session, and she didn't want to waste any more time with talk. She stood next to Shuzo, smirking at Kata and Kanami. "Are you ready to show us if you've improved? 〗

And we'll be carrying on, until the day it doesn't matter anymore.
Step aside, you forgot what this is for.
We fight to live, we live to fight..
And tonight, you'll hear my battle cry!

〖 The chopper hair colored man's eye only twitched as the woman yelled loudly at him that the team name was Zaraki, before a vein pulsed on his forehead and he started yelling back. "No, Its Team Murakami! It always have been from the beginning!!" The voice simply pierced through the area, all at the entire Hirase Manor could hear the argument going on, but no one would do anything because they already knew who the voices belonged too, and what they were fighting about.. The name of their team, the man yelled as it seemed like the effects from their yelling caused his clothes to move around in supposed wind from their voices, he was wearing his usual outfit which consisted of a long sleeved red shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbow, a sleeveless black coat with pants to match the color. He had a yellow necklace with a cross on the end, though it wasn't for biblical reasons. Then wearing tall boots that almost reached his knees. He held four swords on his body, which wasn't too strange since he actually had eight, but the others were stored away.. Three were his zanpakuto, then the fourth was unique, it was from his closest friend, which was actually the one he was fighting with. Very ironic. "How does it not have a badass ring to it? So what if Zaraki is the last name of an old Captain, that's old news! Team Murakami represents someone going against all odds to achieve their impossible goals!" He said with a frown, as if he was preaching to the choir, he was basically ignored.. Then the vein on his forehead only grew when Ayame tried to get the students that they taught together, Kata and Kanami to agree on Zaraki..

Kata only glanced up at the woman, frowning a bit as he muttered. "Just put the names together.. Murazaraki or something like that.." He was tired of their ridiculous fighting over the name of their team, did it really even matter? Though then Shuzo moved in front of them, as he spoke his own thing. "Murazaraki sounds too weird, and we don't want people to think we are some cult worshiping a Former Captain right~?" As he said that, Kata only frowned a bit more.. Before Shuzo sighed and stepped back, this wasn't over.. Though then he smirked with a bit of sinister glee as he nodded. "Yeah, Ayame-chan.. That'll work just fine." He said with a slight chuckle, thought this wasn't the first time they actually had a physical fight over the name either, this time he was sure it'd be different.. Now it was time to start the training session.

Kata only looked up at the teachers before him before glancing over at Kanami, and nodding a bit before looking up at them once again as he spoke, placing his hand on the hilt of the sword that he was lent by his teachers since he didn't have one of his own. "I would say so.." He said as his eyes suddenly locked on Ayame.. She was usually the one he would fight if they were to do a sort of spar for training. He was ready when they were. 〗

All the world needs is me.
I've got my values... so you can keep yours, alright?
I don't get people.

〖 Kanami looked over at Kata and nodded at him, but kept her sword sheathed. She kept her eyes training on Shuzo, since he was the one she was usually put up against. She tensed the muscles in her legs, and took in a deep breath to steady herself before leaping into the air. "Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle!" she cried, her hand lighting up in a bright yellow, electric sparks spiraling down her arm. "Hadō 63, Raikōhō!" A large, concentrated ball of energy shot down at the man, threatening to burn him if he didn't move, which she suspected he would. Whether or not the attack hit her Sensei, it crashed into the floor, sending pieces of wood flying, and causing smoke to fill a section of the room.When she landed on the ground, she unsheathed her blade, holding it on front of her in case Shuzo decided to swing at her while she couldn't see him.

Ayame ran forward at Kata, drawing her blade as she did so, clashing it against his. She shot her foot out to trip the boy, and followed up with another slash at his chest. 〗

〖 Suddenly Kata started to push more strength into holding his sword as the woman suddenly came forward and slashed at him, trying to keep his ground as then suddenly the sword was released, instantly a slash came up at him as instead of throwing himself to the side, he moved his hand to the path of a blade as a concentrated light blue sphere of energy formed at the back of his hand, while calling. "Bakudō number 8, Seki!" This was one Kido that wouldn't blow up while he was making it because he inhaled and was calm before he used it, the sword would clash with the orb as it would suddenly launch the sword, and probably Ayame.. As the Kido took effect, he suddenly leaped forward as he swung his blade, attempting to strike her side while she was being effected by the Kido.

Though as the Kido took effect, it only bounced her sword off course, as Kata went in for his strike, the woman suddenly drew out her other blade and blocked his sword, before she suddenly came across and kicked him in the chest, causing him to gasp and winch as he bounced along the ground, she then leaped up and landed just above him, forcing his body to the ground.

Shuzo only watched as the girl leaped into the air, she didn't have her blade out.. That meant she was going to do something else, this didn't please the man.. As she started to call the incantation, Shuzo drew out his blade as the orb of compressed electrical energy formed, then suddenly launched on her call as he growled a bit under his breath. "Kido.." As the orb of energy fired down at him, he suddenly brought his sword up in a slash, halting the orb in place for a moment as the sword suddenly cut through the Kido, and the two halfs launched off in different directions, causing two small explosions that blew apart part of the floor boards. Then suddenly he dashed forward at the girl as he swung his blade, locking with her for a moment as he suddenly shifted the blade and the sword slipped from Kanami's grasp, before he suddenly moved forward again, causing the girl to fall to the ground as he stabbed his sword into the ground. She was now pinned like her brother, though neither were strong pins that would hurt. Almost as if they shared one mind, both Shuzo and Ayame shouted.

"This is Zanjutsu training! Not magic! Meaning you act with your sword, and not happy peppy magic! Got that?!"

Kata started struggling as he was pinned, he didn't like being yelled at like that, but he understood what they meant.. Though as Ayame's grip loosened a bit, he suddenly forced himself up, causing the girl to release him as he went to kick her in mid-chest like she did to him, then would follow up with swinging his sword in various slashes at her arms and torso. "Is that better?!" He asked loudly, now trying to fight like she wanted him to. 〗

〖 Kanami gasped when Shuzo bisected her Kido, unaware that it was even possible to do so. She fumbled with her blade, momentarily caught off guard when Shuzo attacked her, and her eyes widened when her blade slipped form her hands, clattering to the floor beneath her. She cried out in surprise when the ground seemed to slip out from under her and she fell on her back with an 'oomph'. she flinches when Shuzo's blade impaled the floor right next to her head and stared up at him as he and Ayame yelled in unison. S-Sorry, Murakami-Sensei.." she said quietly. Then she pulled her arms free front Shuzo's grip, sending a punch at his face, then wriggled out of her teacher's grasp. She quickly leaped up and grabbed her sword, spinning around and running at Shuzo, sending a series of slashes at him.

Ayame laughed contently as Kata finally started showing some resolve in fighting her, and she nodded. "Hell yes, that's better!" she said, moving her sword to block his attacks. "Don't pull that magic s**t on me again, you hear?!" she said with a grin, slamming Kata's blade down into the floor so that it was stuck there for a minute. Then she bought her blade up to cut into his shoulder. 〗

〖 Kata only grunted as Ayame blocked his attacks, and was holding him off once again, trying to push her back as she demanded he not use Kido again as he frowned a bit and nodded. "Yes sensei.." He said before his blade was suddenly forced into the ground, stabbing through the floor boards in an awkward position, making him unable to pull the blade out in time as Ayame's sword suddenly stabbed into his shoulder, causing him to gasp a bit in pain as a crimson color began to stain his clothing.. Then his blade got loose, and he stumbled back a bit, looking as if he was about to fall over before he glared at his sensei and suddenly swung upwards, attempted to get a cut on the woman's arm as he suddenly spiraled around her and launched another slash at her back. Gladly his sword wielding arm was apart of the shoulder that was slashed.

Shuzo only nodded a bit as the girl apologized to him for using Kido, slowly she managed to free her arms from Shuzo's restrain, when suddenly her fist launched up at him, he turned his face so her fist would hit his cheek, a bit of a crack of his popping jawline as he smirked a bit, the girl escaping from his grasp as she scurried to get her swords, while Shuzo grabbed his own and pulled it from the ground as he suddenly spiraled around, unsheathing a second sword as he held them up and her swords repeatedly clashed against his, sending sparks as he suddenly sheathed his blade once again, going with one sword as he swung his blade again, clashing with hers before suddenly ducking and slashing upwards at the girl, then rolled over to the side and leaped up, throwing another slash at her side. 〗

〖 Ayame smirked a little as her blade connected with Kata's shoulder, not happy that she had hurt him, but satisfied that he was dealing with the pain well. As he slashed up at her she moved the blade in her left hand up to block his attack, and watched as he spun around her. "Nice move.. she complimented softly, bringing the blade in her right hand up to block the attack at her back. Then she spun around, one sword cutting at his legs, the other slashing at his right side.

Kanami continued to block the slashes that we're coming at her until she felt his blade cut into her side. She cried out in pain and stumbled back, clutching her side and wincing, feeling the hot crimson liquid drip to the floor. She only stayed like that for a moment though before she lunged forward once more, her movements a little slower from the sudden pain.

〖 Kata didn't let her quiet compliment get him, this was a spar.. Fight, whatever this was suppose to be. So he couldn't get distracted by any sort of compliment. Sparks continued to fly as their swords clashed, her repeatedly blocking his strikes which was a bit frustrating, but it wasn't anything that he wasn't use to. Though following up her compliment, she seemed to spin herself around, swinging both her blades at once at two different points, one aimed for Kata's leg, the other at his side.. This was a moment where it would take skill to block, or dodge it. Suddenly, he brought his blade up while at the same time jumping, causing her upper black to hit his sword and slow down, while the other sword continued on, missing his legs, her strike on his sword however shifted him in the air, almost causing him to fall before he regained himself and started to descend upon her with a slash of his sword, attempting to strike her left shoulder, to possibly disable the use of it to use her second blade.. That's only if it hit though. "Take this!"

Shuzo actually managed to cut into Kanami's side, however the moment the blade started to pierce her flesh, he eased up on the pressure so that it wouldn't go too deep or make too bad of a wound. He didn't want to do too much damage, this was sparring afterall. Though it seemed to do a decent amount of damage, effecting her speed, though she still had plenty of force behind her attack, clashing with Shuzo's again as sparks flashed for a moment, then he started to push back on her. "Impressive, receiving a wound to your side and still moving so well.. But how long will you last?" He said as he suddenly pushed off the girl and thrusted his sword forward, attempting to get a cut on her other side. 〗

〖 Ayame smiled a little as Kata dodged her attack, pleased with how he handled himself. He was indeed improving, and she was glad to see it; she was proud of her student. However, she knew his next attack was going to come down at her, and she did a back handspring to move away from him so that his blade missed. Then she ran forward at him again, aiming a barrage of attacks at Kata's legs, waist, side, chest; anything that was exposed to her at the moment. All of her movements were incredibly fast, and very difficult to follow.

Kanami pushed her weight into her attack, forcing Shuzo's blade back away from her a little. "Sensei.. My enemies will not show me mercy in battle.." she said, with difficulty, clearly in pain. "Do not go easy on me." She was referring to how moments before, when he had cut her, he had eased up on the pressure so that her wound wasn't as bad as it could have been. As he pushed off of her, and attempted to strike at her other side, she brought her blade down, so that when the blades connected they formed a perpendicular formation. She twisted her body so that she spun around, past his blade, and behind the man, then slashed down at his back. 〗

〖 Kata only frowned more as the woman dodged his strike, his sword digging into the floor boards when he hit the ground, getting his sword stuck once again.. Though then Ayame came in with a barrage of sword slices, quickly, Kata ripped the sword from the ground, ripping up a board in the process as he swung around, the piece of wood launching off his sword at the girl, to slow down some of the slashes before he suddenly started to back flip, but the pain in his shoulder got to him, causing him to nearly crash to the ground as five blows landed, one in the center of his thigh, another on the side of his thigh, then got two thin cuts along the side of his waist, then the final one cut across his chest, causing him to let out a loud grunt of pain as he fell back onto the ground, blood quickly staining his clothing as he started gasping. "Geh.. I wont stop.." Suddenly, he vanished in a flash step, appeared in front of Ayame, suspended in the air, launching his foot towards her stomach in a powerful kick as he seemed to try to fly by her. Despite the pain, he would keep moving in such a way.

Shuzo only nodded slightly as the girl asked her not to go easy on her because an opponent wouldn't. "Alright, as you wish Kanami." He said as his attack at her side was suddenly blocked, then as she started to spiral around him, he pushed himself off the ground forward, the sound of fabric being sliced echoed, but there was no blood, showing that her attack didn't hit, suddenly Shuzo spiraled around and sprinted across the floor, clashing blades with the woman with brute force behind it, then followed up with a barrage of slices, but as he did this, he began to move his way around the girl, she wanted no mercy, she wouldn't get mercy. 〗

〖 Ayame stumbled back a little as Kata's kick crashed into her stomach, and she grunted quietly, before bringing her blade up to slash at him once again as he moved past her. His determination and perseverance was admirable, and they were traits that she had seen in both Hisashi and Ayaka. Despite this though, she knew the session would end soon. Neither her or Shuzo ever pushed much farther than their student's limits, and Kata was reaching his with the wounds he had received.

Kanami inclined her head slightly to indicate her thanks to Shuzo taking her seriously now. As her attack made contact with the man's back, her eyes widened, but to her dismay she hadn't even scratched her teacher yet. She had gotten closer than she had before, but he still wasn't wounded. She brought her blade up to block his, sparks flying, and she tried her best to dodge, duck, and avoid all the blows that Shuzo sent at her, but she didn't go unscathed. Along with her side, her thighs, arms, and stomach had several scratches on them. She winced, but took no time to address her new wounds as she had before, and launched herself at the man, making it so that it looked like she was going to strike at his left side. Instead, she quickly dove to the right, sommersaulted, and came up behind the man once more, swinging her blade down. And to her surprise, crimson liquid stained her blade, and she realized she had actually cut her teacher. 〗

〖 Kata actually smirked in satisfaction as his foot slammed into her Stomach, but then eyes widened as she brought her sword up again, this time he couldn't block it either, so her sword swing got clean gasp completely up his side to his shoulder, letting out another gasp of pain as he fell to the ground, bleeding out on the ground. Though his smirk didn't fade, he had rarely landed a hit on Ayame, so he had accomplished something... Slowly, he rerose, wobbling over to his sword as he pulled it loose from the floorboard, ready for more.. Though his body might not let him.

Shuzo continued his barrage of slashes on the girl as he moved, several being blocked, but several hitting at the same time. Though, she managed to escape, and lunged at him, seeming to go to strike at his left, before suddenly, she moved to the right, performing various moves as she slipped under Shuzo's detection, and took him from behind, he let out a grunt as he winced, feeling a sharp pain along his back as he then smirked, surprised that she managed to cut him but proud she did. "Alright, I say that's a day then, Eh Ayame-chan?" He said while he sheathed his sword, looking at the girl who was covered in cuts, and the boy that wouldn't back down despite the cuts and gash. Kata was a bit surprised when Shuzo said it was over, was it really? .. Ayame didn't call it over though.. "Ayame-chan, how do you think they did today?" 〗

〖 Ayame nodded and sheathed her blades, agreeing with her partner. Kata and Kanami had poven that they had progressed, and they were probably too tired to continue much more. "Yeah, that's enough for today," she said. "They did well," she said with a small smile. "They've improved." Then she grinned and turned to Shuzo. "I'm proud to call them Team Zaraki members."

Kanami shook her head, smiling slightly as the two launched into another round of bickering. She walked over to her elder brother, smiling a little more. "You did a good job, Nii-san," she complimented quietly. 〗
