Training With Hiro

[yelena]

Tossing her weapon in the air and catching it, she squinted her eyes. The sun was out, yet it wasn't even afternoon. Mid-morning, to be exact. A female, light pale skin, red lips and black hair stood near a horse. Perfect area. Her emerald green eyes shinned, looking around her. Yes, this was the perfect area. She removed her cloak and put it over the horse's saddle. She was dressed in her training outfit.

She wasn't wearing armor, she didn't bother trying to put it on when she had gotten up. Yelena wore simple sandals that had emeralds and rubies on them. She wore a pair of shorts that didn't even go to mid-thigh, red with gold trim. She wore an emerald and red top, that wrapped was v-neck exposing the curve of her breasts. it stopped, exposing her shoulders and covering her back and stopped at the back of her knees in the back. In the front, it buttoned down, stopping about two inches under her breasts, to show her tattoos and belly button piercing.

She sighed, stretching her arms out. Then, she put her hair up and turned around to face her sister-in-law. "You going to train with me? Or are you going to watch?" Yelena grinned at the look on her face. She was going to watch. Slowly, she set her bow down and stretched, doing the splits. and watching Da spread out a blanket and sit down. She needed someone to challenge her... Someone she knew though..

[Hiro]

Why he was in Jiang Dong? Why else, to determine the strength of the area like the other city, for his elder brother Burai. Who was doing who knows what with his usual companion young mistress Anrui. Last he heard from them, they said they were going to the enemy city. At this moment he assumed that he was getting into a fight with one of their officers or something. At least that is what he assume, after all Burai is his brother and a similarity of the brothers were getting into random fights.

He wore his traditional robes he wore, the pupil of his eyes red and still enchanting with charm and mystery of his life. His black bladed hook swords were wrapped entirely with white bandage to hide that they were weapons, and they rested soundly on his shoulders. His jet black hair gleamed in the sunlight as he walked in the hot day. "I hate hot days like these." He complained out loud to himself. People looked at him when he complained but with the color of his eyes they quickly looked away and left with out a word. It made him want to laugh at how judgmental people were.

But now passing that phase he looked around to check the shifts of the guards and how many were there at a time. His final judgement they were extremely well guarded and it would take a full scale invasion to occupy the city. Sadly though it seemed that today was going to be rather boring and normal, or so he believed. That belief was ripped when he saw a lady graceful lay down a blanket. And she was very beautiful, more beautiful than most women he knew, her beauty even matched the beauty of his former wife Gao Xia, before her death anyway. With a slight chuckle he moved over to her.

He took a seat next to her and lightly rubbed her butt with a hand and gave her a kiss on the lips. "My apologies, a beauty such as you---" He said stopping his face almost pale with fake fear. He saw a woman doing the splits, but it wasn't just any woman it was his sister in law. "Y-Yelena...? Aw....Crap...." He stated sliding infront of her with his arms and legs crossed and his swords still resting on his shoulder and a pouty look on his face with his eyes closed. "You saw nothing!" He proclaim acting as if he was serious, when in all seriousness he was joking. He was also expecting a smack in the face soon.

[yelena]

Da Qiao looked at her sister-in-law and sighed softly. She was beautiful but stubborn. and wasn't that proper. Da ran one hand down her thigh, tracing the pattern of her skirt and sighed. She was at least, decent, her regular outfit on. As a man came near her, she felt her body stiffen and then calmed herself down. No harm done with an innocent man. His eyes were red though.

She felt a chill go down her spine as he came toward her. Something was wrong. And then he groped her and kissed her. Her face went dead white, surprise evident in the way her mouth dropped. It took her a few seconds to remember who she was. Da looked at him, her eyes even, face cold. "Yelena. You know this beast?" She glanced at her sister-in-law. Then she turned her gaze back to the man. "Lady Da Qiao of Wu." the man could flirt, but that meant nothing to him.

Yelena gagged and looked up. She had been thinking about Burai. And then noticed the man. he looked oddly familiar. She was surprised but this time, stretched her arms out. to her left foot. One, two, three. To her right, one two three. As the man approached Da, she thought nothing of it. Until he kissed her.

Yelena was up on her feet, her bow in her hand before she even thought it through. She looked at Hiro, her eyes narrowed. "Oh yes i do know him Da Qiao." She gave him an evil look, her eyes hard. It was a horrible sight. And then she grinned. Her green eyes sparkled and she bowed politely to him. "Hiro... It's been too long. Though... I cant let you get away with doing that to my sister-in-law. How about... You make it up to me?" she asked, tilting her head to the side

[Hiro]

Another mistress of Wu, as he quickly expected if in the company of Lady Yelena herself. He rubbed his chin lightly with his free hand and rested the other on a hilt of his blade. "Eh? I am not a beast, I am a human like everyone else. Just because I am more open of my desires doesn't mean I am a vile beast." He stated wisely opening an eye to her. "It's just like me saying, you are of royalty not caring for others nor taking time to learn of others. Us commoners calling you pigs. But I am not saying that now am I? Who are you to judge me in such a manner? You are no goddess, you are human just like the rest of us. Dear lady Wu." He takes a moment to look her up and down, he tilted his head. A grin appeared on his face and he again closed his eyes. He felt this to be too serious for his taste. He was a man that enjoyed simple things.

So he decided to keep things fun. "Thinkof it this way then, if I didn't think you were beautiful on both the inside and outside I would not of kissed you so sweetly. But then there was my hand, I have no excuse, you are after all beautiful and irresistible." He said flirtatiously, with a light grin. He brushed a part of his hair to the side and looked at Yelena giving him an evil looking look. A bead of sweat came down from the back of his head as he stare right back at her only for her to act so sweetly to him. In return to her polite bow, lowered his head as a sign of their friendship, it was rare for him to bow to anyone.

"Hiro... It's been too long. Though... I cant let you get away with doing that to my sister-in-law. How about... You make it up to me?"

'Aw...Crap....She's calling in a favor.' He thought to himself, opening his eyes with an exhausted look on his face. He knew what was coming at this point. She would either ask him to do her chores, again. Spar with her or the worst of them all, go to the market place and shop with her, in other words be her lackey for a day. In his moment he sat up straight the sunlight gleaming over him emphasizing the scar on his right eye and the bridge of his nose. "Please say you want to spar...." He said with a sigh with a lazy look on his face.

[yelena]

Da Qiao Looked Hiro even in the eyes. "One, sir, i would never think of you as that. But for a man, a stranger to touch a married woman in that manner is disgraceful. To not only the female, but to yourself." her voice was soft and her eyes showed too much compassion. "Who am i? I am the female you oh-so-politely- groped." Da said, her voicing raising slightly. There was so many emotions wrapped in her voice.

Yelena sighed and started at Da. "He didn't mean anything. I'm sure he's sorry about it." She smiled at Da until she smiled back and then grinned. Then she looked at Hiro. he bowed. She was almost surprised. But she could get why. She moved her bow so it was in front of her and she rested her arm on it. Then she closed her eyes for a few seconds, soaking up the sun.

Then, she moved moved quickly and before it was noticeable, and moved down into a crouch and swung her bow at hiro's feet. "What do you think I'd want to do? Da is no fun to spar with, " she said, as she did it.

[Hiro]

"Well, lady Wu, I have yet to hear words that rejected my advances. You can't deny it." He said with a grin on his face. He wasn't scared of the fact that she was royalty, Hiroshi was fearless just like is older brother. But just being fearless did not mean he was anywhere near foolish. He also has always been good with reading people and Lady Da Qiao was a good person. It was rare for him to be wrong when he read people's personality. She was compassionate and kind, a very tender flower. Pun completely intended, once he heard her name he knew of her reputation as the elder of the two flowers of Wu.

He chuckled softly and brushed his hair back for a moment his fingers spread and slowly gliding through, he did this for his own comfortable, the main reason being it reminded him of his late wife. 'Oh to be so happily married again...' He thought to himself. He was overwhelmed but his own emotions, his feelings of being with his lover again. He has tried to be with many other women to try to fill his endless void. But alas for him it was to no avail. But he hid anguish behind his closed eyes and goofy grin on his face. But in his heart time has forever slowed down at least until he could find that one person to fill the huge part of his heart that went missing. If that was even possible to find that one someone, he let out a soft sigh.

"What do you think I'd want to do? Da is no fun to spar with."

Of course she wanted to spar with him, he was a nice guy when came to sparring to her compared to his brother. He even allowed lame attacks like that to occur. On impact his foot began to throb a bit, so much for lame. "You are a lot quicker than I remember." He said with a slight laugh. He stood up slowly, laying his swords to the side, gently onto the ground. And in an instant he throws a backfist with great ferocity but stopping it 2 inches away from her face, with air surging passed to lightly press against Da Qiao lips. His other hand palm out protecting his ribs. He had to remind her that he was a skilled fighter. "But Burai and I disapprove of playful or surprise attacks. Just be glad I'm more lenient than he." He lowering his hand and then smiling and taking a few steps back and getting into a fighting stance. With teasingness in his voice he spoke.

"So let us begin Milady."

[yelena]

Yelena watched the conversation with Hiro and Da. Da wasn't.... over-reacting too much. Surprising, but also good. Da was someone to look up to. She almost rolled her eyes at Hiro's move. "Ah, but you wouldn't hurt a princess.. would you?" She raised her eyebrow, and then stood up, taking a step back.

He had dropped his swords. She looked at them. And felt her confidence waver. She wasn't the best at hand to hand, but she wasn't going to admit it. 'Come on. You're a princess of Wu. Fighting hand to hand, it's nothing that you can't do. And you wanted this," Yelena told herself, taking a deep breath.

She glanced over to Da Qiao and tossed her Serviable Arc. As Da's eyes widened, she shrugged. Hiro wouldn't hurt her, she knew he would just most likely damage her ego. Yelena could take that without too much shame... She laughed to herself. Okay, so she wouldn't be able to take that without a lot of teasing and mentally killing Hiro.

Yelena flipped her hair over one shoulder, and looked at Hiro. Fun. She almost grimace,d but instead smiled at him. Her body automatically went into a fighting stance. "First move, goes to you." She said, nodding to him.

[Hiro]

"A princess as yourself?" He said as he looked her up and down, then gave Da Qiao a wink. "I would treat you as an elegant flower." He took a deep breathe and exhaled slowly. He has known Yelena for a very long time now. And has always seen her as a warrior rather than a princess. As such he had to treat her as a warrior, to show that he did respect her. But as for Da Qiao, she has yet to reject him, so he will continue his advances, later on.

Without a word and a more serious look on his face. He took a stance one arm down, the other close his his face. His feet spread three feet apart form like an L stance. A defensive counter stance, but when her voice called call out to strike first. He quickly shifted and charged her. But he was still controlled, he didn't want to hurt her but he had to show her why people saw him as a fighter. He charged in with a front kick to he chest, then a back fist to her face not to really hurt but more to distract her and blinding her reflexes then throwing a moderate power punch to her solar plex.

[yelena]

Da Qiao put a hand to her mouth and gasped. She was almost horrified with the moves Hiro had done to Yelena. She knew that Yelena wasn't the best in hand-to-hand fight. Yet she had accepted. And look at it now...She grimaced and forced herself to stay quiet and just watch, though she seriously didn't want to.

Yelena mentally swore at herself. She was screwed. Hiro was a flirt and he used it t distract her. And now she was caught unaware. She saw the kick, and thought to herself. She should just take it. She took the kick to her chest, ignoring the pain but stumbled back. But didn't fall. And thankfully she had accepted the kick. It avoided getting a major hit to the face.

As she fell on the ground, he went for a punch to the solar plexus. She rolled over, keeping her arms/hands protecting her "center" area. Then, once she was on her back, she pushed her hands out, using force to do a back-flip of sorts off the ground. Putting herself in a defense position, legs apart, one hand near her chest/face the other more to her side, she stared at Hiro. "Is that all you really got? And i thought this could be a challenge..." She sent him a mock frown. If she could convince him to attack her to prove himself, then she could get the advantage.

[Hiro]

Hiroshi noticed the discontent in the look of Da Qiao. He half expected as such, after all she was a princess. He didn't look like the type who would actually hurt someone, let alone kill them. But she had to learn sooner or later the pains of war and the first step was through brutal physical and mental training. Mental training to keep you from going crazy after killing someone and physical to keep them from getting killed. It was a fact of life at the moment, whether or not she would accept that is up to her.

He watched her closely, as he grew more and more into the fight. Putting aside everything, except her and the fight. Though his kick landed he didn't put enough force to send her back, it must of been her stance, he thought. "Sloppy..." He said calmly. Although her sloppiness saved her from a more damaging blow. In other words it was pure luck, he had given her too much credit.

He stood firm, waiting for her strike, only for her to try to taunt him. He merely scoffed putting the taunt aside, he had to deal with worst taunts from Burai and other warriors. He no longer cared for words, only action. So far she has to show him any type of promise in hand to hand fighter. Again he charged, his attacks more focus than lazy like last time. He attacks with a low round kick to her rib as a distraction tactic and quickly shift with the same leg to a high round kick to her face. And because he never underestimates his opponents, he chambered his leg and kicked out a side kick with full force to her ribs.
