The End Has Arrived (1x1 with DarkMudkip)

[DarkMudkip]

Tesla blocked and knocked him down again, "Good warm up." He said and held his hand out to Kohaku.

 

[Jikkah]

Kohaku looked warily at his hand before shaking it, nodding in agreement.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Tesla pulled him to his feet and nodded, "Now, we focus on your form and stance. Show me."

 

[Jikkah]

He nodded and took his stance, legs spread slightly and sword held out in front of him.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Tesla made a face, "No, no...broaden your stance." Tesla used his zanpakutou to spread his legs apart a bit more, "Left leg back slightly, arms straight."

 

[Jikkah]

Kohaku nodded and fixed his stance like he was instructed, straightening his arms and widening his stance.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Good. Now, when you strike, move your right leg forward and put your weight into the strike." He instructed.

 

[Jikkah]

Kohaku slid his right foot forward and swung, putting his weight into the swing as instructed.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Tesla nodded in approval and unsheathed his zanpakutou, showing him some novice moves to begin with and telling him to repeat them until they were done perfectly

 

[Jikkah]

Kohaku began practicing, repeating the moves over and over. He did that for hours, eventually getting down a few moves, but they still needed work. By now he was sweating and panting, frowning softly as he practiced.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"That's enough for now." Tesla said, "Good work, Kohaku."

 

[Jikkah]

Kohaku looked like he wanted to protest, but he nodded, wiping sweat from his forehead. "What next?" He mouthed.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Tomorrow, we'll go into more advanced stances. If you're ready, that is." He said, "If not, we'll continue with the basics."

 

[Jikkah]

Kohaku nodded, resting his blade across his shoulders, panting softly and looking up at the sky.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Come on, let's head back...Kairi is probably worried." He said

 

[Jikkah]

Kohaku nodded and retrieved his bag, pulling out a canteen and drinking from it, following Tesla back to the clinic.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Tesla sighed tiredly, scratching his head

 

[Jikkah]

Kohaku turned, giving Tesla a quizzical look as they entered town. "What?" He mouthed.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"Hm? Oh, nothing...! Thinking, sorry." He answered

 

[Jikkah]

Kohaku blinked, giving a small nod. Once they got back to the clinic, Kohaku waved to Kairi. "Welcome back!" She called with a smile.

 

[DarkMudkip]

"He shows promise." Tesla smiled faintly

 

[Jikkah]

Kairi smiled. "That's good!" She said, Kohaku heading to one of the back rooms and putting away his pack and sword.

 

[DarkMudkip]

Tesla moved over and kissed her, "Any patients?"

 

[Jikkah]

Kairi took his hand and shook her head with a frown. "No... And it isn't good for our business."

 

[DarkMudkip]

((We must fix this.))

Tesla frowned, "I'll request work from Bunko..."
