Sparring time

[Kusuha has, from time to time - as often as she felt proper, really - taken the opportunity to practice her swordsmanship with Bullet. Over time, as she'd gotten more in tune with the Choukijin and her own powers, learning to fight with a sword became less important than learning to focus her mind and have something to meditate on, mentally and

[Bullet was surprised that Kusuha could afford to rent out a dojo, and just for a practice match. Really, wasn't he supposed to be the man? He should be the one paying for this. But it was what it was, too late to change anything. He'd just have to give her as good of a match as he could. Though... picturing Kusuha in her kendo outfit as she swung her sword was-

Bullet shook his head of distracting thoughts as he entered the dojo and smiled to the girl waiting for him.]

"Hey Kusuha. Sorry I'm late."

"O-oh, it's...no problem..."

By now, Kusuha's stopped even trying not to blush when Bullet shows up, but she manages to only stammer a little. "I'm the one who changed things around..."

Bullet chuckled a little nervously, already feeling his face flush. "Well, then I'll go ahead and change and then we can start." He hurries into the back and switches into a traditional kendo uniform, carrying his shinai at his side.

The base has its own practice area that we usually use, so I thought it was kind of strange to rent a dojo. Not that I don't appreciate it, I do! Um, I'll stop talking now." He was clearly a little nervous... a lot nervous. Internally, he felt slightly ashamed. He should be used to being around Kusuha by now, but whenever they were together outside of combat, he still felt the same feeling of being lovestruck as when he had first met her.

"I just wanted to...well, I wanted to do something special," Kusuha explains, blushing. "N-not that just being around you isn't special, but I wanted to give you something you could enjoy instead of just sticking to routine."

The words spill out almost as quickly as Bullet's do, because frankly, Kusuha has the same problem. As inconvenient as it is, though, she figures there are worse things than constantly feeling like you're falling in love for the first time.

"E-especially if it's something we can enjoy together, right?"

Did somebody say bother? :3c

[soylent_genki]
