Akane: What the?

Jake: *He was peacefully sleeping, his dagger in pocket*

A: *I go to him and gently poke him on the cheek*

Jake: *Their finger slid straight off him and he felt nothing*

A: How odd *I sit down by him*

Jake: *He was slowly waking up*
Hmm...

A: Hallo

Jake: "Hello? What are you doing here?"

A: I was taking a walk and then saw you sleeping

Jake: "Okay? I'm getting up now..."
*He stood up and dusted himself off*
"I'm going to a friend's place, you coming?"

Sure

Jake: *He set off*
"I'm Jake."

*I stand up and follow him* I'm Akane

Jake: "Did you try waking me up by any chance?"

A: Yeah...

Jake: "Y'know, I could benefit from having someone like you by my side."

A: How?

Jake: "You look skilled in combat, am I wrong?"

A: You're not wrong

Jake: "Then why not partner up with me? This friend who I'm traveling to meet is pretty skilled."

A: Sure, Why not

Jake: "So what kind of combat do you specialise in?"

A: Shooting and swinging

Jake: *He looked slightly confused*
"Shooting what? And swinging on what?"

Umbreon: huh. Ok then

Jake: *He was peacefully sleeping, his dagger in pocket*

U: *poke*

Jake: *Their finger slid straight off him and he felt nothing*

U: oo.

Jake: *He was beginning to wake up*
"Hmm..."

U: morning.

Jake: "Hello? Is something wrong?"

U: nothin, just saw you.

Jake: "So who are you?"

U: names umbreon. you?

Jake: "Jake. Now, you can walk with me if you want because I've got to go."

U: ok.

Jake: "Are you skilled in any different kinds of combat by any chance?"

U: most. yes.

Jake: *He lightly chuckled*
"Most?"

U: well, all.

Jake: *He lightly chuckled*
"And how can you tell?"

U: ... i can beat a team of 4th degree black belts.

Jake: "So can I, doesn't mean I'm skilled in every kind of combat."

U: I can cap a flying pigeon from 30 miles away.

Jake: "I'm fighting you later, seeing if all this is really true."

U: oh ok.

Jake: *A while later they both arrived at this small cabin in the forest*
"Here it is."

U: alright.

Jake: *He opened the door and noone was inside*
"Oh."

U: ?

*Umbreon could feel the someone's hand on their shoulder*

U: ?

???: "Who the hell are you?"

U: names umbreon, you?

???: "Arikuzu. You gonna turn around or what?"

U: *turns*

Arikuzu: "Jake?"
Jake: "Mhmm, they're someone new for you to train."

U: ... i dont need training.

Jake: "Hm? Then why did you follow me?"

U: cuz i was bored.

Arikuzu: "You want a fight, correct?"

U: sure. i got nothin better to do.

Arikuzu: "Then you and Jake shall."
Jake: "Yes sir."
*He grabbed his dagger and they walked into a nice field*

U: *draws his sword*

Arikuzu: "And begin!"
Jake: *He lunged towards Umbreon and sliced*

U: *dodge, taking a retaliation swipe*

Jake: *The sword slid straight off as though he was covered in oil. He launched a punch*

U: *turns with it to minimize given force, grabs jakes arm, and tries to flip him over*

Jake: *He could grab his sleeves but not his skin. Jake quickly realised that Umbreon was catching on and delivered a front kick to knock them back*

U: *jumps away* so, youre a slippery man, i can deal with that.

Jake: "You're very skilled."

U: thanks. *pulls out some glue* if youre slippery, i just need to be sticky.

Jake: "Hm?"
*He chuckled*
"Good luck with that."
Arikuzu: *He smiled*

U: *puts it on his hands*

Jake: "I'll go first, again."
*He tried punching them*

U: *catches the punch, twists*

Jake: *The glue had no effect on him and Umbreon couldn't grab his fist*
"You're overcomplicating things."
*He launched a flurry of blows in quick succession then finished it with a stab to the chest*

U: oof. ok then... maybe i just need to... turn up the heat. *his hands f**king ignite*

Jake: *He seemed nervous*
Arikuzu: "I think that was a good training session, you two can stop now."

U: ... ok then. *extinguish*

Arikuzu: "Go practice your meditation for a thirty minutes, I'll be with Umbreon."
Jake: *He nodded and walked back*

U: meditation?

Arikuzu: "Yes, physical training is just as important as mental. Besides, I wanted to talk with you in private."

U: alright.

Arikuzu: *He began walking*
"You are a skilled, or talented, fighter, how did you learn?"

U: necessity is a wonderful teacher.

Arikuzu: "Necessity?"

U: y'know, being about to die 30 times a month.

Arikuzu: "It would be a shame not to see your fighting skills then?"

U: i suppose.

Arikuzu: "You don't sound interested, I don't mind if you'd rather not."

U: its fine.

Arikuzu: "I'll give you a minute."
*He lightly smiled*

U: *pulls out a hip flask*

Arikuzu: *He gave them some time before asking again*

U: sure.

Arikuzu: "Great."
*He smiled, unsheathing his katana*
"Whenever you're ready."

U: oho? Katana duel eh?

Arikuzu: "That is correct."

U: well then. *he taps the sword on his thigh, it becomes a set of Daisho and his clothes become a kimono*

Arikuzu: *He patiently waited*

U: *does the thumb flick thing, gripping the handle* your move.

Arikuzu: "If you insist."
*His sword lightly glowed white and he swiftly slashed*

U: *quickly slashes out, deflecting the attack*

Arikuzu: *His sword switched to glowing broken and he blocked it as though he was welding a longsword*

U: hmm.

Arikuzu: *It suddenly switched back to white and he transferred the momentum, swiftly slashing at Umbreon's neck*

U: *dodges*

Arikuzu: *He launched another blow at the same place*

U: you using a katana or a longsword my guy? *he dodges, hitting your blade with his own to throw you off*

Arikuzu: "Versatility."
*He suddenly switched back to wielding it as it was intended and struck with less force but far more effectively*

U: *jumps backwards* unlucky for you, i excel at that, *his katana glows, becoming a long rapier*

Arikuzu: *He began to anticipate his next move*

U: *f**king teleports behind arikuzu* boo

**brown (not broken)

Arikuzu: *He span around and swept their leg, slashing their neck again*

U: HEY! *pulls them down with him* that's not a fair move!

Arikuzu: *When Umbreon went to grab him he narrowly evaded their grab*

U: heh. *he sweeps your legs*
