[Asrana]

Asrana smiled at Mike, "The Tsume is just as bad as the others, only bloodier." Asrana stood with him, detaching her tachi and doing a few of her own stretches. Which happened to pull her chainmail tightly against her body.

"I hope you're ready for some pain, you two. These styles have VERY ungentle teaching practices."

[Kwokinator]

Kei paid no attention to Asrana's... decidedly wonderfully curvaceous body hugging VERY tightly to the form-fitting chainmail (maybe TOO form-fitting...) and proceeded to do his own version of stretching.

Which wasn't really stretching, per se.

Holding both arms out in front of him parallel to his chest, he kept his fists together knuckle-to-knuckle and concentrated his body's energy and channeled them to his fists.

Giving a small "kiai", he bent his knees and bent over slightly to punch the ground below him.

The result was a narrow wave that travelled along the ground for a small distance before dissipating, a small hill left in the soil from his attack.

With a strange glint in his eyes, he whirled around and backfisted the oak tree with a liquid motion, a resounding thud emitting from the trunk.

"Say," Kei turned to Asrana, the glint previously in his eyes gone without a trace. "Think I can learn more than one style?  I wanna learn the Akurei and the Tsume.  Not gonna bother with the Yurei, since you all know how 'stealthy' I am..."

[Asrana]

Asrana narrowed her eyes at the small wave, "Maybe, but learning more than one of the styles can give hints to the Tsukiyuki style. And that is strictly forbiden."

[Kwokinator]

"C'mon!" Kei whined. "What's wrong with learning both the Tsume and the Akurei?  I'm leaving the Yurei out so I'm not learning everything.  Besides, do you really think I'm smart enough to learn that Tsukiwhatever style just from learning two other ones?"

[Danax]

Mike looked at Kei questionably "Uh, what was with the little Ki wave, and punching the tree? And personally I believe that you could figure out the style given some time"

He turned to Asrana with a smile. "I'm sure I can use the Tsume non-lethally, a slitgh adjustment in some attack angles is all it'll take to make it maim instead of kill."

[Asrana]

Asrana sighed, "All three styles have a basis in the Tsukiyuki, learning two of them would definitely give away some of the basic Tsukiyuki techniques."

Asrana smiled at Mike, "Be my guest to try, it'll be interesting to say the least."

[Danax]

"Well then lets get started."

[Kwokinator]

"Nothing," Kei smiled at Danax. "Only me stretching and working out a bit."

"And no I can't!" he protested, shooting a glare at him.

"C'mon!" Kei pleaded to Asrana. "I wanna learn both!  Besides, it's just the basics so what can it hurt?"

[Danax]

Mike gave Asrana a questioning look. "You know I think you put a little to much focus on the style and not enough on the practitioner, and besides we will eventually pick up some basics just by watching you use them," Mike shugged as he let out a sigh "Unless the style is jsut a large collaboration of special tecniques.."

[Asrana]

Asrana sighed as she spoke to Mike, "The basics are all internal, and the visible ones require knowledge of the basics to comprehend what I'm doing. You wouldn't pick them up by seeing me use them. And if you were learning the Yurei....you might not have the same opinion."

"And no Kei, I won't risk any leakage of the Tukiyuki style. Akurei or Tsume."

[Kwokinator]

Kei grumbled. "Fine, fine, I'll stick with learning the Akurei then..."

He didn't get what was the big deal with all the secrecy with the Tsukiyuki style.  The worst thing that close happen would be that he'd have to marry Asrana, and that wasn't even close to being remotely ba-

... oh.

[Asrana]

Asrana smiled, "Thanks, Kei-kun."

Mike felt a flash of psionics directed at Kei just as Asrana leaned in and planted her lips on Kei's.

[Kwokinator]

As for Kei, all coherent thought left his mind as he felt Asrana's tender lips on his.

With his object of affection in such close proximity in front of him, or rather, connected with him in such an intimate manner, he could hardly think straight; it took most of his concentration just to stay conscious.

Concentrating as much as he could, he tried to mutter the tender words of affection and love that he so longed to speak.

"Gah..." was all he managed to get out.

[Danax]

Mike scratched the back of head head in confuseion as he looked from Asrana to Kei and then back again.

'I wonder what she did..' He thought to himself, about the psionic flash. 'I don't think she muddled his brain, after all she could do it with a wink, smile and a little extra hip sway...and there is very little brain to muddle with anyway.'

Mike's hand went from the back of his head to his chin as he continued his thoughts of what Asrana did before a genius idea struck him.

"Hey Asrana, what did you do there? I wasn't paying attention and didn't catch what psionic ability you used."

[Asrana]

Asrana giggled as she seperated from Kei. "I just used telepathy."
