Lesson Number One
So my best friend and I rp as Seychelles and Hong Kong and I ship them so hard it's not even funny. So this was just something suppose to be cute and sweet. It was in my mind and now it's on the internet so sorry if you hate it. XD Anyways the only thing you need to know is we refer to Hong Kong as Kaoru so there you go. Enjoy~
"Kao, I want to learn martial arts". When she had said these words to me I thought for sure she was joking. Unfortunatly she wasn't. I had always admired Seychelles for her peaceful ways, and in all honesty I didn't think someone like her could actually bring herself to fight if it needed be. "Why do you need to learn martial arts? I'm always going to be here so it's not like you need protection" I said trying to talk her out of it. "I know, but Kao I'm tired of relying on everyone to do everything for me. I want to be strong to!" How could I ever say no to a face like that.
We had been practicing for what seemed like hours, but I knew it had only been like 20 minutes. I had been trying to teach her basic steps. Like how to punch correctly, kick, block, things like that and just as I had figured she was terrible. "Try again" I said trying to show her the proper stance to take when preforming a snap kick. "Whoa!" she had fallen again. I sighed and squeezed the bridge of my nose in out of frustration. "I'm making you mad, arn't I?" she huffed. "No. I understand, it's hard to learn" I said feeling guilty for making her feel bad. But how could I do it? How could I teach someone like her how to fight? Suddenly it hit me. I took a deep breath and then my stance and I began, "Earth, sky, day, and night. Sound and silence Dark and light. One alone is not enough you need both together winter, summer Moon and sun lesson number one." as I spoke I begin to move through the basic steps. She watched closely. "Like a rock you must be hard, like an oak you must stand firm, cut quick like my blade, think fast unafraid" At the end of these words I was on my toes in a perfect snap kick. I looked over at her, "Understand?", she nodded and copied my movements. "Like a rock I must be hard. Like an oak I must stand firm. Cut quick, like your blade. Think fast, unafraid" she repeated copting my moves slowly. I nodded, "See you're getting it!". "Like a cloud you are soft, like bamboo you bend in the wind. Creeping slow you're at peace because you know it's okay to be afraid" I said moving on into another kick. "Like a cloud I am soft. Like bamboo I bend in the wind. Creeping slow, I'm at peace because I know it's okay to be afraid" she repeated getting it right again. "One alone is not enough, You need both together. Winter, Summer, Moon and Sun. Lesson Number one." She smiled, "I actually did it!". "Just keep practicing, and you can say you know martial arts" I said smiling. "And remember" I said wrapping my arms around her, "This is just lesson number one."
