learning about people (jyo)

[Ookami]

ichimaru sat down by a large tree on the campus thinking of the number of people he had met, it hadnt been many but they where greatly different from eachother, and he wondered if everyone was completely different from eachother, but he doubted it would be like that. he layed back and closed his eyes, it was a nice sunny day and he liked to lay like this on such days, thinking of nothing in particlular letting his mind wander.

[Jyo]

"Nice day to just sit back and think isn't it?" Said a calm voice from up above Ichimaru. Jyo was up in the tree sitting on one of the thick branches with his back against the tree and a small friendly smile on his face. he had noticed the student come and sit down. He decided to be quiet for a moment and observe.

"I would pay a little more attention to your surroundings. After all unlike myself there are people here who might take advantage of such a situation to attack you. It wouldn't even have to be for a reason. but don't worry. I don't bite." he said. His green eyes were bright and piercing but also had a friendly inviting look to them. As if he had nothing to hide which couldn't be further from the truth.

[Ookami]

smiles back, he was a bit startled from the voice and he sat up quickly, seeing as he talked first rather than hit, he figured a spar might be a good way "say, if that's the case would you help me out? i'm pretty new around here, can you possibly have a friendly spar with me? i havent fought anyone from this school yet and i figure it should be in a spar first, and if need be in an actual fight. if you like you can call some rules to some shots" he smiled wanly, he wanted to see how well some people faught around here, and if he where to have a spar and not a street brawl, it would be a bit safer and easier to see how they fought with the pressure off.

[Jyo]

Jyo thought for a moment and then slid off the branch and landed lightly on his feet not even having to bend his knees.
"Well as it's a friendly spar I can deal with that. i've gotten rather tired of seriously fighting. My main rule is if you don't feel like you can keep going than don't try. Otherwise go ahead and use your full skill. It's not fun if you don't." he said with and odd smile and shifted his stance slightly. His right foot was leading by only a few inches and his arms hung loosly but ready for action.
"As you propositioned this little battle I'll let you go first unless you don't want to." he said and then chuckled.
"I beg pardon. I forgot my manners. I'm Jyo." he added.

[Ookami]

bowing a bit "i'm ichimaru nice to meet you, and i hope this spar teaches me a bit" he said honsetly and he decided to go first with jyo's generous offer. he closed the small gap between them and tried to sweep his legs from under him. he felt a bit better than he thought he would be starting this spar with someone he could spar with honor and respect,. he used his foll force and speed for this, not holding back, just as he had asked.

[Jyo]

Not a bad move. But not good for an opening. thought Jyo pushing off with his feet jus enough to let Ichimaru's attack pass under him. While rising his left leg shot out for a kick to the chest. The cantact point would seem as though his toes hit the chest. but Jyo had curled his toes back slightly so it was actually the ball of his foot hitting as not to break his toes. He used about half his force in the blow but his movments were as fast as he could make them. His landing would depend on how Ichimaru reacted to his attack.

[Ookami]

Ookami only had time to make a small attempt to let it glance off his chest, it didnt work ad he was hit by the force, the first thing he could think of to do was to strike the leg that hit him hard in the chest. he tried the mucle in the back of the leg just below the kneecap to hit him in with his knuckles. his mind was a blur, he felt the need to try something, but he would have to think through this clearly before he tried. his chest hurt now, every time he took a breath, he would try and ignore it for now.

[Jyo]

Though Ichimaru's attack worked it was a bad move. Jyo had dealt with it before and relaxed the leg and it bent easily and was knocked upwards slightly allowing him to fall back. it was this next part he hoped Ichimaru would learn from. His left hand shot out stopping his fall and his right leg swung up for a kick to the chin. Using that momentum Jyo went unto a backflip of sorts without his hand leaving the ground and he ended up in a crouch then straitend up. His attack was just as fast as the last with a little more force into it. Jyo only gave his style a name as it revolved around his kicks using his long legs but Ichimaru would soon find out Jyo was adept at any form of unarmed combat.
"Not a bad counter really." he said with a smile.

[Ookami]

ichimaru rubbed his jaw sorely "gah i can see your very good, lets hope i can keep up then" he said, words a bit mispronounced due to the new pain. he clenched his fist, it was time to try this out, he consentrated his Qi into his fists and ran for jyo, he tried to land a punch on his body quickly, anywhere would work, and he was veagly waiting for a traditional counter, a strike at him by his opponent a simple lithe step to one side, but nothing too complicated he would forsee, hoping that jyo still was taking it a bit easy on him.

[Jyo]

Jyo nodded in response and then narrowed his eyes at the way the fist was clenched. he rarely saw that done in a fight unless the person was getting ready at the start. In the middle of a fight it meant something was up. Meaning he would have to be careful.

His reaction was to have his hand shoot out and grab the wrist of the attacking hand but not resist it. Instead use pulled Ichimaru inwards and his left knee shot up at his ribs. This time Jyo pulled the hit in a little more noticing that his last blow had enough of an effect to slightly cause a problem with his speech. It still probably wouldn't be pleasent though.

Once the hit went in Jyo's plan was to let go and push of with his other leg to back off. but there was always a chance that his counter wouldn't go through. If that was the case. He'd have to improvise.

[Ookami]

he brought his free fist down at the opponents leg, the one that hurt his ribs, if the attack connected he would feel twice his weight, if he did not sucseed in hitting his opponent, it would leave him open for another attack. it was clear to himself he was outmatched, but it wouldnt stop him, he was learning a great deal, to be more cautious in his attacks and to think in a new way to get out of attacks and bad situations.

[Jyo]

Jyo felt the attack hit and something odd happened. he felt different. he backed off moving a little less gainly until he compensated. He gave a smile.
"Qi... Interesting. then allow me to show you a little something." he said letting his own Qi flow through him along his optic nerves to his brain. An odd glow eminated from his already piercing eyes. Along the majority of the student body this caused them to stop dead in their tracks. But it was much more than a means of intimidation. infact that was more of a side thing.

To Jyo's veiw the world slowed. In fact a hummingbird wasn't far off. Jyo looked at it for a moment and could see it's wings drifting slowly. He looked back at ichimaru and dashed in. He was still moving oddly but closed in fast. His right leg shot out in a side kick to Ichimaru's gut. Jyo felt like he had to use more force than normal and inadvertantly used his full force this time from the feeling of it.

OOC: If I was mistaken to the effects of the Qi attack let me know and I'll change this post tomorrow. I gotta crash now. Work tomorrow and all.

[Ookami]

ichimaru felt the full force of his opponents attack making it worse with his attack he used. he was hurt worse now, and he was unsteady on his feet, he wasnt used to such abuse in a fight, and it turned out hat Qi skill of his worked against him. a small smile on his face raising a hand after a few moments, witch to jyo must have felt like minutes. he breathed in deep "alright" he clenched his fist, he needed to land this next hit in order to give himself any hope, if he missed he would soncseed. his clenched fist was poued into with Qi, and so was his leg. if he missed with his fist he would try with his leg, however if he was hit hard enough he wouldnt be able to continue after his opponents next attack and his consentration would faulter making his attack normal.

[Jyo]

Jyo saw ichimaru coming at him and simply tood there until the last second. As the fist came in Jyo stepped to the inside of the attack and his own arm shot out aimed directly for the forearm muscles. If it hit right the arm would go slack. If not it would still not be doing well.

He noticed since the pucn missed a kick came in. he used a similar counter and his knee flew up hitting the side of Ichimaru's thigh. Jyo wasn't going for a brute attack. instead it was surgical and precise.

[Ookami]

uneasy on his feet, his leg still worked but his arm would be useless for a while, raising his good arm he said without any regret "you win, it was a good fight, i happened to learn a lot" ichimaru nodded to his own statement, and sat down with a thud. he noticed that jyo almost had forsight with those eyes of his, probrably an ability that he had, just like he himself had the weight Qi.
