2 In the kendo dojo a boy fell and the crowd cheered.
~Are you waiting for your fencing skills to catch up with yours here? You can do better than that.~
"Sorry dude, you ok?"
The floored competitor ignored the winner's offered hand and stood up removing his helmet. His unrulely dark blue hair waved as he turned to the crowd that wasn't watching them.
"Go Saionji-sempai!"
"You're the best Touga-sama!"
The other removed his helmet as well.
"They always the masses. Who do you think will win this one?"
The boy watched the two a moment studying the moves of the team captain and student council president. Unlike the two they were fighting without the heavy armor.
"Kiryuu," he said flatly just before the winning move was made.
"Wow how do you do that?"
"It's not that hard. Saionji-sempai hesitated leaving himself open."
The winner sighed propping his bokken on his shoulder, "They're always the center of attention because they're on the student council. I bet even if we beat them we won't be noticed."
"And you'll never beat me if you stand watching all the time," the red haired president chuckled as he passed the two giving the fallen a pointed glance.
"You learn a lot about your enemy when you study how he fights," the boy hissed in return putting his helmet back on.
"Oh that is true but doesn't give you competence. Keep practicing 'Tanto- kun'," Touga advised and continued to the showers.
The winner replaced his as well and the two took their stances on the mat again. They went about their paces sizing each other up before the attack. One suddenly raised his bokken above his head and slashed down but the other was able to block the move and the crack of the hollow wood striking each other echoed through the room as the offense repeated the blow. The defender was forced back a little with each shock and was nearly to the edge of the mat when he was struck on the right thigh instead.
"Migi-do!" the winner this time round announced before bursting out laughing.
"What now?" the new looser exclaimed practically ripping off his helmet to reveal the former winner.
"I figured it out!" the other explained recovering his self, "They can't tell us apart under all this armor!"
"We're not as experienced as the sempais so we have to wear it," his friend reminded him dryly.
"So I'm going to work until I am! Are you with me?"
The boy shrugged and they set up for another match.
A final note: Please read "Kendo for the Uncommon Idiot" by Manten No Miko. It was basically my ummm… very helpful and muchly needed reference for the story. ^_^;
