Kaiyo had never been to the sprring grounds before, it seemed like a fun new experience though, a friendly fight with another student to guage your level.
The girl strolled into the sparring grounds; she had brought two wooden bokken, one for herself and another for whom ever she would be fighting, she didn't know. Kaiyo had asked her zanjutsu trainer about a friendly sparr with another student, and he said providing she would remember to block attacks he thought it would be a 'good learning curve for the girl'. The grounds were relatively empty aside from a few other students deep in combat Kaiyo sat on the ground and decided to wait for an opponent until which time she sat legs crossed, hands palm down on her kness and eyes shut, meditating.

( OOC: We'll spar here, you'll have to tell me what points you're aiming for. I'm going for +2 in Spirit power)

Stark slowly and calmly enters the training grounds. He investigates and seeks a fight to further improve his skills. The sound of wooden katanas clashing reaches his ears as he makes his way through the training grounds. Something in the far corner of the training ground peeks his interest, his eyebrows quirk and he moves towards the figure who sits upon the grass.
As he moves closer into range of this dark figure he notices that it's his classmate Kaiyo. He slowly approaches her and puts his hands on her eyes.. Guess who? He says quitely and in a more girly tone.
He waits for her response as he gently covers her eyes and awaits for the sparring session.

(OOC: yeah i'm going for spirit power as well, or anything else i can get )

Kaiyo felt warm hands over her eyes, and a familiar voice, Guess who?. she smiled at the voice, stood up with the swords and handed one to Stark, one of her more familiar classmates. Kaiyo was glad to have an opponent, and a nice one as well she walked over to one of the arena's ,Is this one okay for you? she called back to Stark.
She readied her stance on one end of the sparring area, tightening her grip on the wooden sword, and smiles in anticipation of the battle to come.
You first she grins to her opponent.

Stark grabs the sword and heads to the training ground where Kaiyo is taking her stance. He gently places his sword on his right shoulder and begins to gaze at Kaiyo. Silence his within the air as he stares at her, he takes down his sword to his waist and slightly but contently grins in happiness. Thinking to himself that he doesn't have to work too hard for this sparring practice. Huh, this will be interesting
Stark tightens the grib on his wooden katana and slowly flexes the muscle his legs. He beings to charge at Kaiyo, raising the katana once more and swiflty pounds it down in the middle of her figure. He grins contently...

OOC: Ok you can do it like this and i'll asses your posts in here and assign points to each of you as necersary. So far no points (need to get some development done for that)

Kaiyo was sure she had seen Stark relax slightly at her, her only response was to prove him wrong. He moved quickly, causing her to react faster than she was used to, she tried to remember all advise she had been given and attempted to block the attack, she moved her arms to the right of her body keeping her sword straight in front of her, she blocked the attack, but didn't manage to cushion the full inpact of the blow, she was pushed back a few paces, but still keeping her feet on the ground.
She jumped forward quickly from blocking and swung her sword around aiming for Stark's legs, hoping to catch him off guard.

OOc: sorry to keep butting in but if you're aiming for points in spirit power try making this a development of character through martial conflict. Just a little tip)

Stark grins contently as he was able to back Kaiyo off. However he didn't see her sweep attack coming, he didn't have enough time to react. His facial expression wasn't filled fear but with agony which was to come ahead. As Kaiyo's wooden katana hit him by the ankles Stark fell forward and attempted to hold himself up but failed and instead fell to the ground with a large 'thump'. His faceplant wasn't all that amusing to him, he looked up at Kaiyo and rubbed his nose which was in pain and felt like it was getting prickled. Stark gathered himself and look at Kaiyo satisfied to have a worthy opponent. He waited for her next move...

kaiyo watched as Stark fell to the ground, she considered being a ruthless fighter and hitting her opponent while he was down; this however was not Kaiyo, she jumped backwards and waited for her opponent to get to his feet. Kaiyo's trainer had told her there was no honor in combat, Kaiyo disgreed, she would fight fairly and win or lose accordingly.
Kaiyo loved a challenge, at for the time being, this fight would be a big one; the idea of such a fight spiked her interest in the fight, and she decided to enjoy the match as much as possible.
Kaiyo watched as Stark took his position, i guess it's my turn to attack then. She started with a slow jog and when she got close enough she jumped into the air, the plan for this attack was to catch her opponent of guard again, but once in the air Kaiyo noticed Stark was already following her move, so he's decided i'm a good enough oponent then, sweet!, nsure whether the fact that her opponent was going to fight to win was a good or bad point Kaiyo tried to vary her attack, she jumped sideways first then thrust herself downwards at Stark, her sword straight in front of her, trying to put her full body weight behind the attack.

The weight of Kaiyo's strikes put a strain on Stark's left leg and he attempts to endure the pain. His facial expression was one of a worried being, he couldn't determine whether his leg would hold out any longer. Then again this is training he thought i should give it my all and try and go beyond my limit! His mouth opens as he shouts Ahhhhhh and with all his might starts to push Kaiyo back. He makes a slight gesture of discomfort but overcomes it with determination and power. The wind around the training ground has settled down and Stark begins to stare into Kaiyo's eyes. Determined to fight and cut!

Kaiyo knew her attacks had made an impact, but she knew they weren't enough to win the fight, and glimmer or pain Stark showed became suddenly overpowered by determination to win. Kaiyo tries to keep her feet planted in the ground, but the new power exurted by Stark pushes her back, feet scraping along along the ground she tries to think clearly. He got stronger, of that she was sure, how, she didn't know. Kaiyo was trying to push back her opponent when she felt a tinge of pain in her shoulder, where she had blocked his first attack. He was staring right into her eyes and all she could do was stare back and try not to fall, eventually the strain became too much and Kaiyo tumbled backwards, hitting her shoulder on the way. She landed on one knee at the other side or the arena, panting heavily and with one arm on her shoulder.
this is it, do or die she repeated to herself. Kaiyo decided on a new tactic, fight to win, not just to train, but to win. She stood up and took a deep breath in, she swiped her sword down to her side and readied her attack, she wouldn't wait for her turn, she would simply fight instead. Pushing off from one foot she lunged forward to Stark, her eyes locked with his.

Approved to both people.

Stark: +1 spirit power
Kaiyo: +2 spirit power

( OOC: You didn't even let me reply to get an extra point. xD)
