Chaos insues.... (Sara Quinn)

[Mitsukai]

Mitsukai was leaning against a tree in the courtyard as she waited silently for the girl Sara Quinn to arrive. Why you might as was she waiting to meet the girl she despised so much you might ask? Well the answer was simple. She needed to train.

Though Mitsukai only really knew that the girl was crazy she had heard from others of the woman's fighting skills. Sara herself had offered to train the girl as well as Matrim so naturally Mitsukai wanted to try her out. When it came to training Mitsukai did not care who it was that she trained with so long as they were good. And Sara had better be a decent trainer for all the time she planned to spend with her.

[Sara Gallagher]

Sara entered the courtyard, pulling her hair back as her eyes scanned the area. Her gaze fell to the single figure leaning against a tree. AHA! She knew it!! It was Mitsukai!

With a smile on her face, Sara approached her. Stopping a few feet from her, she finished pulling her hair into a ponytail. "I had thought it was you. The name sounded familiar and I doubt anyone else in the school has that particular name. Mitsuki Park is close, but I knew it wasn't her."

She bounced on the balls of her feet, hands clasped behind her back as she smiled at Mitsukai innocently. If anything, this would be interesting. The amount of loathing coming off the girl every time Sara was around was palpable. And it only made Sara want to push her. She had so much potential, she just needed the right person to bring it out. "I have to admit, I was surprised when I heard Matrim made you Varsity Captain." She smirked, pushing the girl. It would get her no where to loose her temper.

Sara had chosen track pants today, loose and black, figuring she was going to be doing some sparring today. Her white tank top showed off the tips of the hand print scar between her breasts. If Mitsukai knew Matrim, she would know where the scars had come from. "So what can I do for you?"

[Mitsukai]

"I had thought it was you. The name sounded familiar and I doubt anyone else in the school has that particular name. Mitsuki Park is close, but I knew it wasn't her."

Mitsukai looked up as Sara came over, at least the girl came on time. That was a good start. Now if only she could be a little less cheerful, Sara was bouncing around all over the place that Mitsukai sometimes had trouble keeping up with her.

The sudden push caught her off guard, Mitsukai would growl in response. Already she was regretting calling this girl here.

"So what can I do for you?"

"I wanted to take you up on that offer you gave me the last time we met." she replied. "I am already training with Matrim but I will not pass up anymore opportunities so if you want then lets get started."

[Sara Gallagher]

"I wanted to take you up on that offer you gave me the last time we met. I am already training with Matrim but I will not pass up anymore opportunities so if you want then lets get started."

Sara smirked. This girl reminded Sara so much of herself. It was ridiculous. "I see. So you want to train?" Sara's gaze scanned the courtyard. Matrim had told her that he wanted her to spend some time sparring with the two new pillars. She of course, had no problem with that, and had gladly accepted to meet Mitsukai knowing it was going to end up this way one way or the other.

Sara stopped bouncing on her feet and stepped back, expecting her to follow. Turning, Sara started to walk towards a more secluded area of the grounds. "I train differently from Matrim. I don't know if you've fought him yet?"

It didn't matter, it wasn't like you needed his training to have Sara's, she was just curious. "He focuses on bringing out qi, on attacking. I focus on blocking and countering. So here's how it's going to work. I'm going to attack, you're going to block. If you can't..."

... "Then you're going home black and blue."

Sara turned and smiled at the girl sickly having reached a good enough spot to fight. Her eyes were glazed over, completely different from the previous twinkle. Only two things brought out Crazy Sara. Anger, and fighting. Which could really be said to be one thing, as anger usually led to Sara fighting. She laughed, a sick, twisted chuckle of sorts. It was obvious Sara was nuts at this point and she had meant that Mitsukai was going home fucked up. "Do you understand?"

[Mitsukai]

"I train differently from Matrim. I don't know if you've fought him yet?" "He focuses on bringing out qi, on attacking. I focus on blocking and countering. So here's how it's going to work. I'm going to attack, you're going to block. If you can't..." "Then you're going home black and blue."

Mitsukai listened carefully, so the two focused on different styles of fighting. That was good, training with both of them would give her a wider range of possible styles to try out. Countering would definitely come in handy. Especially since Mitsukai only really knew how to attack, not counter which would put her at a disadvantage in most fights.

That twisted smile that Sara gave her suddenly put the girl on high alert. Something was not right here. Sara's persona suddenly changed almost like Kev's when one of her persona's took over. A dull throbbing pain started in her right eye. That uneasiness was causing her own persona Nami to stir. That was not good if Nami came out now then things would turn bad.

[Sara Gallagher]

Sara remained completely still, the same sick smile on her face as she stared out at nothing. She shifted, raising her hands loosely in front of her, fists lightly clenched and licked her lips, still focused on something other then Mitsukai. "I'm going to just see how much you can take for now... Some basic stuff to test you out..." Her voice was quiet, apologetic almost. "Are you ready?"

And then she was off. She threw herself at Mitsukai, drawing her right fist back, locking her arm at the elbow and moving just to the right of Mitsukai. The result would have Sara's fist slam into her gut just as Sara passed her, the momentum of Sara's moving body giving power to her punch.

Planting her right foot and pivoting on it would bring Sara around to face Mitsukai's back, her chest pressed close to her, no space between them. Sara's right arm would remained wrapped around Mitsukai's side. Sara's left arm would come up and wrap around Mitsukai's neck from behind.

If it all worked, Sara would be in the perfect position to lean forward, laughing into Mitsukai's ear. "Not very quick are you... Can you think of ANY way out of this? The point of my training is to prepare you so you counter before you're even put into this position."

[Mitsukai]

With no way to dodge the attack Mitsukai would try to block the incoming punch. Though the she manage to soften the blow the momentum as Sara's body collided with hers still forced her back a bit. Mitsukai was locked in her grip before she could move to defend herself. The pain in her right eye intensifying causing her to growl out in pain. Not now Nami, back the fuck off. she warned her dark half. Out of all the times she could have tried to surface it just had to be now. How the hell could she focus with that kind of distraction.

"Not very quick are you... Can you think of ANY way out of this? The point of my training is to prepare you so you counter before you're even put into this position."

Mitsukai stomped hard on the girl's foot while also elbowing her hard in the ribs in response. attempting to pull away in that moment of distraction. All the while trying to ignore the pain coursing through her. She refused to let her out now, it was too risky.

[Sara Gallagher]

Sara chuckled, pulling her head back from the girls ear. As she did, the girl stomped on Sara's foot and elbowed her in the ribs. Sara's immediate response was to let go. Her arms wrapped around her torso as she stepped away doubled over, but her body was shaking.

Sara stood straight, arms still wrapped around herself as she burst into loud laughter. "Oh wow! That was good!" She wiped a tear from her eye. "Amazing! So simple, yet effective." She gave Mitsukai a nod and a smile through the laughter. "Good job, you may not need training if you keep that shit up, a spar every now and again to keep you in shape."

Sara's laughter slowly died off. "Don't ever loose that, really. Most would freeze up in that position, what you did though? Effective." She dropped into a loose boxing stance. "Ready to go again then? Block and counter me."

Sara came at the girl again, her right fist drawing back and slamming it in a right hook for the girls face. It was nice to fight someone her own height for once ! As she threw the punch, she would continue the momentum and carry though with a kick for the girls side with her right leg.

[Mitsukai]

Mitsukai had to admit she was a bit surprised by that praise. Normally all Mitsukai was good at was attacking, and that stubbornness to keep going even when she knew she could never win. As for getting out of holds or any really defense she was not good at. That move had been done instinctively, how else was she suppose to escape unless she could hurt her opponent?

Brushing that thought off she would focus back at the task at hand. For the moment Nami had seemed to weaken in her struggle to take over, she did not need to worry as much about her springing up at the moment so she could focus on what she had come here to do. Fight.

Sara came at her again, a punch aimed towards her face. Mitsukai dodged that initial attack but did not have enough time to dodge the kick. Taking the hit to her side Mitsukai would let out a small hiss in pain and would draw away from Sara. Giving herself some space while trying to ignore the pain from that blow as she waited for the next assault.

[Sara Gallagher]

Sara's initial punch was dodged. Perfect. Just as Sara had asked. her kick however, still hit the girl in the side. Sara drew her leg back, stepping back from her to give her some air. That... Was not good. "I told you to counter. You're dodge was good, but there was no counter."

She turned her head quizzically, examining her. She seemed to be waiting for Sara to attack. She shook her head. "There's a crapload of stuff you could have done to counter. Be more confident in yourself." Ok, time for a different approach. All out spar, no stopping. Maybe if she was put in a position where she needed to counter, she would work better.

Sara stepped forward again, quickly. Both her hands shot out to grab onto the girls shoulders and pull her downwards as Sara slammed her knee up into the girls abdomen.

[Mitsukai]

"I told you to counter. You're dodge was good, but there was no counter." "There's a crapload of stuff you could have done to counter. Be more confident in yourself."

Sara came at her once again. Mitsukai would jump out of the way of her grab attempt and would use that time to send a round house kick to Sara's ribs. Whether she was successful or not she would send a fist aiming for the girl's face. Nami for whatever reason seemed to have given up in trying to seize control so now Mitsukai could focus on her attack. After all Sara said she was suppose to counter right? Well this was the only real way she knew how so she would but it to good use.

[Sara Gallagher]

As Sara came at her, she backed away out of Sara's reach, a knee becoming useless. The roundhouse kick was a nice touch, Sara took the hit, grunting slightly from the impact. She packed a neat little punch. Sara smirked, clearly enjoying herself as the punch came at her.

Just before it hit her, Sara's hand would snatch Mitsukai by the forearm, pushing the punch off course. Had she managed to grab her, Sara would pull her forward, and sidestep around her so that Sara was facing Mitsukai's back, twisting the arm behind her, Sara's free hand moving to the girls other shoulder. Sara's foot would slam into the back of Mitsukai's knees, dropping her to the ground.

As she dropped, Sara's arm would slide down the other arm until she had grabbed the wrist. Finally, planting her foot on Mitsukai's back, Sara would push, effectively having put her in an arm lever (something like this *CLICKY* but with mitsu on her knee(s))

Sara would push against her back, the hold being painful. If pushed to hard the arms could be dislocated and the back broken, however, this wasn't what Sara was after. "I said COUNTER! Not dodge and attack! COUNTER! THIS IS A COUNTER!" Another small push, and then Sara let go of her, stepping back. "Whenever you're ready, we'll try that again."

[Mitsukai]

In the middle of her assault Sara turned the tables around, forcing the girl on her knees while she pinned her down.

"I said COUNTER! Not dodge and attack! COUNTER! THIS IS A COUNTER!"

She got back up on her feet once Sara released her. Mumbling a quick apology. It seemed that old habits died hard, she had for a moment forgot what she was here for and that frankly was very stupid. She had to be more careful and not fuck things up.

She git back in a fighting stance and waited for Sara to move. This time being more thoughtful of what she would do next.

[Sara Gallagher]

Sara sighed as she heard the apology, but didn't dwell on it. She needed to learn not to apologize and just move on. Apologizing didn't get you anywhere. It was fine though, Sara would toughen the girl up before to long.

Sara turned back to Mitsukai in a fighting stance. Good. They could get on with this. Sara followed suit, bringing her fists up loosely in front of her, left leading. She stood for a second, debating what to do next. The knee was a simple one to counter, but she had already used it. A kick was pretty simple to, but harder to pull off. A kick would work for now though.

She came forward, closing the distance between them and planted her left foot, then threw her right leg out in a side kick for Mitsukai's left side. Simple and straightforward. She wondered what the girl would do if Sara used her qi... That would probably be pretty funny. Give the girl a heart attack... Hehe...

[Mitsukai]

Mitsukai watched as Sara came in for another attack. Those eyes watching her every movement to anticipate her next attack. The second that Sara sent her right leg flying for her she moved. Making to grab that leg as it came for her, stopping it short of it's target. If she was successful she would use her her left leg to sweep Sara's free foot from under her, sending the other girl crashing into the ground. It was a move that she had picked up on a few times from previous opponents so she figured it would be useful to her in this case.

If Mitsukai had succeeded and knocking the girl down she would release her and take a step back as she waited for Sara to move again. She could have done more damage while the girl was down but that was not the point of this exercise. She would let her opponent get up to go for it again.
