Welcome to Gaia! ::

When Kobayashi felt the familiar signature of another Dark Moon, a smile crossed her face and she heading in it's direction. Meeting more of her court was something she welcomed having met so little so far after all. As she moved closer to the other Dark Mirror she briefly thought to herself that she was so glad that she was no longer tripping over her skirt when not careful. When she had first transformed it had been hard getting used to the long flowing fabric while wearing boots with heels, not being one for either in her civilian life. After all pants and combat boots were more her style and any skirts and heels would come into play only when she was cosplaying.

Once the other woman was in sight she gave a smile in return after spotting Orcus' wry one and slowly came to a stop not far from the pretty Senshi. "Good evening. Sure, what is it that you need help with?" She asked, curiosity in her eyes.

She blinked in surprise at the calm request Orcus made, not having expected that to be the help the other woman would request, having been thinking more along the lines of maybe patrolling together or attacking a target, though she wasn't complaining. After all she hadn't gotten much experience fighting either and could certainly use the practice. Once the surprise left she gave a playful grin in return with a challenging tint to it.

"Alright, would you rather spar somewhere else or spar here?" Kobayashi asked after a moment, giving a thoughtful look to their surroundings. It wouldn't matter really where they went since it would be good to know how to fight in different areas but she thought she would ask. "I'm Kobayashi by the way, pleasure to meet you."

Kobayashi nodded her head in both acknowledgement for the introduction and the statement that here was good for the spar. It did seem like a good place being isolated and able to give them experience in fighting inside more confined quarters then if they had been at the park or on the rooftops.

"I would prefer that as well. No sense in hurting other's who stumble in unknowingly."

At the question of who starts she paused briefly in thought then gave a shrug and a smile. "Well, since you asked in the first place how about you start this off?" She offered as she shifted to a position that would let her move more freely. Such movement included moving one booted foot out in front of herself slightly then hooking around and bracing her from behind, effectively catching her skirt and moving it out of the way a bit more.

"Like wise." Kobayashi replied as she tried to ready herself for what Orcus would do next. She would rather not have to explain any showy bruises or any breaks to any of her family after all and she doubted the other woman wanted to either, but it wouldn't be a full work out without giving it a good go.

When Orcus darted at her with her shoulder in position to attack, Kobayashi used the leg she had moved her skirt with to lean back on the hit so instead of being knocked over or back she bent with the shoulder slam. Using the momentum of bending with the hit and the fact that she was putting most of her weight on one leg, the blonde kicked out with the leg that was free. It was a move she had seen in an anime before so whether it was effective or not she was about to find out.

Kobayashi got a proud grin on her face for not landing on her a** or head for pulling the move and went to put her leg down so she could shift her balance to both. Just as her foot hit the ground but before she could shift Orcus' kick connected and she pin wheeled her arms a bit to try and catch herself but ended up tipping over. She had managed to catch herself, barely and just enough to keep her from falling completely over, with one of the alleyway walls that was almost out of reach with one hand while one knee hit the ground to keep her up. Heart pounding she gave the other girl an impressed look.

"Honestly? I've been powered up for the past year and when I first powered up I tripped over on my skirt and these boots left and right if I moved too quickly so most of said year was spent working on being able to move in these suckers. Does your balance wonders at times. However I haven't had much time or opportunity to put it into fighting practice."

Something she would have to correct obviously since she hadn't been able to move fast enough to stop the kick from almost having her on the ground completely and only the wall had saved her. Once she was able to right herself and get back to her feet she used one hand to swish her skirt back while kicking out at the other Senshi with one of her legs.

While waiting for an enemy to get up and test their legs was stupid in a real battle, Kobayashi had not problem doing so for an ally in a spar. She watched the pale haired young woman with a slight frown, hoping she hadn't damaged her with that lucky hit and was glad when it seemed that while sore, Orcus was alright. "Indeed we are." She said, her frown turning into an amused smile.

"Agreed, we both got good hits in for round one. Ready to go again or shall we postpone the next round for next time?" She moved her leg back in her starting position to get her skirt out of the way and waited to see how the other Dark Mirror would react while studying her.

"I'm up for it as well." Kobayashi said with a grin as she readied herself. While she hadn't been expecting the same type of attack, rather using the same position so her skirt would once again be out of the way, she certainly hadn't expected Orcus to run and jump to attack.

The kick hit and she pitched forward with a yelp and her back smarting. However thanks to all of the times she had tripped over on her face thanks to her skirt she had gotten good with catching herself while falling, something she put into practice as she turned the fall into a handstand while kicking out with one of her legs at the other Dark Mirror. She knew full well that the handstand was going to end up in a full flip thanks to the kick, but she also knew that said flip would take time to recover from since she would more then likely land on her skirt at the end of it and rather hoped the kick would buy her time.
