"Why did he have to rub it in? Kisama!!" The once tall rock spire in front of her was nothing more that small rock now. She was breathing hard and she could feel the tears welling up inside her. "No, I won't let him get to me. Never!!" She struck at the ground with all her might, channeling all her hate and anger for him through her sword. When the dust settled she felt a familiar ki coming her way. She wanted to be alone and unless it was Riaya, she was going to make sure that the individual didn't bother her again. She turned to face the uninvited guest. With her sword still drawn and resting on her shoulder she grinned slightly when he landed.
"It's not nice to follow someone, y'know."
"Yeah, well . can't help it. Hope you're not too upset by it."
His eyes and hair color looked distinctly human, from his mother she guessed, but when he was angry the other night . she was sure that she saw Vejita in those same features. So like his father, yet so unlike him. She chuckled softly.
"Eh? What's so funny?" He asked inquisitively with a smile on his face.
Reminded of her company, she snapped herself back into reality. "Eh . nan demo nai." She couldn't very well tell him what she was thinking, she hardly knew herself. "So, what do you want anyway?" That familiar serious tone was back in her voice and the look on her face matched it.
"Thought maybe you would like a sparing partner . I know I could use some practice," he replied.
She looked at him and considered the offer. He seemed to know how to fight and it had been awhile since she'd had a good match with someone. "Okay, but it's not my fault if you get hurt." she smirked.
"Humph, likewise." His grin was definitely a trait of Vejita. Her ki level began to rise at seeing that grin.
Trunks noticed the sudden change in her expression and the corresponding ki level increase. He smiled and reached over his shoulder to draw his sword from its sheath. He slid the exquisite sword from its holder in a slow deliberate way. He watched her eyes follow the movement of the sword as it gleaned in the sun, the blade edges sharp enough to cut through the strongest material. Trunks remembered back to the time when he received the Deity Sword from Tapion before he left. He had become very good at using his sword as an extension of himself.
Kitane watched the sword gleam in the sun, as he held it out in front of him with the hilt a little below his waistline. The sword was in excellent condition, from either lack of use or such skill that it had never been touched, perhaps he just took good care of it. Seeing him standing ready and waiting for her to draw, she switched from her relaxed stance and swung her sword down to place it in its sheath. His expression was one of complete confusion. She smiled to herself, 'I guess he's never seen anyone fight with a kitana before.' She had gotten the sword from an elderly man who had been giving her instruction on swordplay when she was younger. He explained the sword to her and detailed the best ways to use it . the proper ways as well. He never told her where it had come from, but she had found a book on swords in n old building on her home planet. The book explained what the sword was called, where it was from and the different styles. She enjoyed fighting with a sword and could channel her energy through it during a battle. which made for excellent attacks.
She grinned and nodded to him. Trunks accepted that as a signal to begin the match. The two opponents stood ready for an attack, but neither one moved. Trunks noticed Kitane was studying him, which he was subsequently doing to her. He couldn't find any opening in her stance but was still confused about why she was standing with her lower body faced almost front but her upper body turned slightly to the left and her right hand was on the sword handle while her left hand was holding the sheath against her body. He had never seen a stance like that before and was uneasy about attacking first.
Finally, Trunks charged.
Kitane smiled as her came at her. They locked swords and traded glares. They separated and charged at each other again. Each using their sword to block and parry, feint and strike. Neither was getting in any successful strikes. She was as good with her sword as he was. Trunks decided to try a new technique. He charged toward he with his sword low on his right. She saw this and readied with a defense for it. At the last moment he blurred out from in front of her and reappeared behind her on her right. Sensing his ki, she blurred and his strike found nothing but air. She reappeared beside him and elbowed him in the jaw knocking him several meters away. Thrunks regained himself and barely got his sword up in time to block her. She was good, very good. He'd have to get serious now. Using one of his legs he sent his knee straight up into her stomach. She doubled over slightly still not letting up the pressure on her sword. She grinned at him with a devious look in her eye. Trunks noticed a ki ball forming in her other hand.
'Masaka! She's holding her sword with one hand and exerting that kind of strength?'
She released the ki ball at his chest. He backed away and tried to block it with his arms. Trunks managed to get one arm up and deflected the blast of to the side, but sustained little damage from it.
"That's it! Since I obviously don't have to hold back with you." Trunks powered up, but stayed just below Super Saiyajin. His aura was immense as white flames danced around his form.
Kitane merely stood and watched with a smile on her face. 'With power like that, he'll be a great help in our battle against.' She was knocked out of her thoughts by his fist landing squarely in her stomach. The force o it caused her to drop to her knees while she struggled for air.
"That was a lucky hit . if I hadn't been distracted by my thoughts you wouldn't have connected." She stood and regained her balance. "I haven't had a good sparring match like this in a long while, but I can't allow you to do that again."
With that she launched a massive ki ball at him. He immediately countered with one of his own. The two began a match of power as each tried to push their ki ball forward. Seeing that Trunks was exerting himself a great deal, Kitane blurred upward causing Trunks to lose his balance, as Kitane was no longer exerting force against him. With nothing pushing back at him, Trunks fell forward a few steps. Kitane used this opportunity to fire a small ki blast at him from above. The blast hit Trunks and knocked him back a few meters.
'Kuso! I girl, I'm getting beat by a GIRL! I can't believe it, I'm a Saiyajin!' Standing up and brushing off his clothes, Trunks looked at Kitane. She was standing about five meters to his left he turned and faced her. His eyes were cold and her was focused entirely on defeating her. He charged her and they began a series of punches and kicks that were too fast for any normal eye to see. She blocked all of his punches, however one of his kicks passed through her defenses and hit her in the shoulder. Taking advantage of this, Trunks increased the speed of his punches and landed a few more hits on her.
"Kisama!!" She blurred out and reappeared on Trunks right to strike him. Sensing this, he too blurred and appeared behind her. This went on for a minute or so, each blurring before the other could strike. Eventually Kitane managed to time her blur and get a powerful punch to Trunks face. With an almost unnatural speed, he completed a roundhouse kick that launched her into a cliff. She opened her eyes enough to see him heading straight for her. She smiled and nodded her head, "I know when I've had enough."
She saw him slow to a stop in front of her and smile. "Well then . it's a draw. You're good . very good." He extended his hand to her and she took it. She stood and brushed off her clothes.
"Arigatou . you fight very well too. I suppose Vejita trained you, ne?"
Trunks half-smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "Well, not exactly . I've trained with Otousan, Gohan-san, and Goku-san . Goten-kun and I spar with each other on occasion."
Kitane nods, "Oh, well they must be excellent fighters ."
"Hai, they are. Well, shall we head home? You look like you need a break!"
With a friendly pat on the back and a smile, the two take off toward Capsule Corp.
