Of Ninjas and Magi (Kuro)

[Miki Nonam]

Miki Nonam Swinging her scythe every which way, Miki cut down several targets, all in perfect horizontal hits. She was breathing heavy, sweat dripping from her brow. She had been at this for hours, honing and perfecting her scythplay to as close to perfect as she could get. Looking around, she was suprised to see the training ground so empty. It wasn't early anymore, being somewhere around noon. She supposed someone would show eventually, though she wondered who she would meet today.

Kuro flipped through his newest tome as he made his way to the training grounds. He carefully turned a worn-out page with a sigh. He really needed to get a new one. Or at least one that wasn't falling apart. Perhaps he could find someone to restore it to it's former glory? Another time perhaps. For now, he should just make sure no one took his head off with a wild swing. He closed the book and looked up to see a girl... with a rather large and odd weapon. "Oh, hello... you're the only one here? Odd. Well, my name is Kuro. Might I see what you can do with that? Or are you finished?"

[Miki Nonam]

Miki Nonam Miki was suprised by the sudden appearance of the boy. He had almost scared her and gotten a scythe to the neck is she had instintcually swung. As to his question of an example of her bladesmenship, she motioned to the dummies in her side of the field, all cut precisely in half or lengthwise. She made a rather theatric show of spinning her scythe and hitting it into the ground. "My name is Miki. If you really wanna see what my scythe can do, you're gonna have to spar me." Her tone was friendly, though with a competitive edge, and smile that showed her pride in her skills. ( tags: right here. words: ####) made by jinx of adoxography

Kuro looked at the slashed dummies and winced slightly at her challange. She reminded him of his brother. He unconsciously rubbed the back of his head and thought carefully about it. "All right. I suppose I do need to work on my combat abilities as well... you seem to enjoy spinning that tool an aweful lot anyways. I can amuse you for awhile." Kuro backed up and clenched his tome as he channeled his energy in preperation. As calm as he sounded, he didn't want to wind up like one of those dummies. "You're tired already from practice, so I'll let you take the first swing."

[Miki Nonam]

Miki Nonam Miki smiled and nodded, getting into a fighting position. He didn't have any noticable weapons on him, but she couldn't be sure what he was equipped with. She leaped forward, and delivered a strong swing, which would only cut his coat should he be unable to counter or dodge. ( tags: right here. words: ####) made by jinx of adoxography

[Kuro Zephyr]

Kuro stepped back, fear of the large unusual weapon causing him to stumble as he went. He lifted a hand above his head and activated the magic tome. "Wind!" He fell on his rear as a small burst of green light appeared above his hand and a large but dull blade of wind, equal to him in height, shot forward towards the scythe wielder and would feel like a heavy punch to the chest.

[Miki Nonam]

Miki Nonam The girl let out a suprised "Eep!" As she was hit in the chest, barely standing on her feet. "T-That Was Magic! I've never seen magi before! Shoot one of those at me again, I wanna see if I can cut it!" She may have been a bit overzealous, but it was quite an amazing sight before her, and she wanted to see what would happen.

[Kuro Zephyr]

Kuro pushed himself back onto his feet as he listened to the girl. He could understand her amazement at magic but... wanting to cut it? "Well... I suppose you... probably could. Maybe? I believe you'd just have to swing at the right time... let's see if you can." He smiled and lifted his hand again. "Ready? Set... Wind!" He brought his hand down and green energy condensed above his head before another wind blade shot forward.

[Miki Nonam]

Miki Nonam Miki was ready, smiling in challenge. Slashing downwards, the wind ball would cut evenly in half, and explode two training dummies behind the girl, causing her to smile and cheer. "That was awesome! Where did you learn to do magic like that?" ( tags: right here. words: ####) made by jinx of adoxography

[Kuro Zephyr]

Kuro watched the spell divide and hit the practice dummies, thinking of how he might use this to his advantage at a later date. "Hm? Oh, I learned from a tutor back in my home with my family. I find myself drawn to wind magic more than anything else so that's what I use. Where did you learn to use that scythe? If I recall correctly their original design was for farming purposes."

[Miki Nonam]

Miki Nonam Miki scratched her head. "Farming? I've never used it for that. My bloodline used weapons like this in the past so I just trained myself from some old books. Though my people tended to use much shorter versions of a scythe when they used them." ( tags: right here. words: ####) made by jinx of adoxography

"What? A family of scythe users? I've never heard of such a thing." Kuro's eyes narrowed slightly as he studied the girl again and tapped his chin. "But... you said you learned from books? Would it bother you if I borrowed one? It's my goal to learn as much as I can about everything. I don't like being caught off gaurd. Of course, if there's anything you need of me just give the word." Kuro shifted slightly and seemed to grow a bit nervous. "You er... don't have any pets or anything do you? Animals and I... don't get along."

[Miki Nonam]

Miki Nonam "Well, not ALL scythe users. they were proficient in many kinds of combat using stealth, and dangerous weaponary. I don't have any of my books on me right now, but i'm sure I can get you one sometime." She smiled politely, and was happy to have made a new friend. She hadn't had many take an interest in her background, and she didn't mind talking about it, so she was enjoying the conversation. ( tags: right here. words: ####) made by jinx of adoxography
