Practicing Martial Arts ((Pyro/anyone))

[Caiest Hamilton S5]

Caiest shut her charms book. She couldn't concentrate on homework anymore her mind was too full of thoughts of other things to actually concentrate. What she needed now was a distraction. Putting her books away Caiest headed out of the commonroom. She tried to think of something that would prove to be a suitable distraction from homework. Socializing could work but she wasn't in the mood to talk to people besides most people avoided her anyway as they didn't appreciate her cynical personality and morbid sense of humor. Sighing Caiest continued walking around the castle trying to think of things to do.

After walking the castle for an hour Caiest had come up with the perfect solution. Practing Martial Arts it was perfect and she didn't know why she hadn't thought of it before. Hurrying along Caiest began opening doors to different classrooms trying to find an empty one that would suit her purpose. Finally after three tries she found one.

Walking in Caiest shut the door partway before clearing a space. She debated using her Golem to help her practice but decided against it as it was the middle of the day and the less people that knew about it the better. As it was two people already knew about her secret and that was two people too many. Sighing Caiest resigned herself to practicing alone. It wasn't the best solution but it was the only one she could think of as she didn't know anyone in the school that actually practiced Martial Arts. As far as she knew she was the only one.

She had been doing a formation that her teacher had taught her involving different types of kicks and punches when a noise startled her. Turning around she noticed a boy standing in the doorway. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" She asked rather coldly. She hated being disrupted when she was practicing.

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

Pyro walked down the corridor. His mind was still upon the issue with his father. Plus the constant throbing in his wrist didnt help much with his mood. He looked down at the wrist. Remembering how he had punched the wall in anger after receiving the owl from his dad. Shortly followed by a conversation between him and some of his friends. Thats when Kris went about the painful process of snapping the wrist back into place. pyro had than gone to the hospital and had madam pomfrey look at it. She had had cow when she heard how it happend.

he sighed. She had put his wrist in a brace. the brace was slightly annoying since it didnt allow him to move that wrist much. and since it was his primary wrist. that caused a lot of probems for him. He passed by a classroom with the door open slightly. He caught a flash of movement inside the room. Curiously he steped up to the door and slid it open. he leaned against the doorway and watched the girl inside who seemed to be practicing martial arts.

it took her a few seconds but she soon caught notice of him. "Who are you and what are you doing here?" She asked him. He pushed off the doorway and steped into the room and gave a short bow. "my name is Pryo Bla.....um..Pyro." he stood up straights. "I was just passing by when i noticed you. You know, practicing martial arts is kinda empty when you do it alone." Great. this was just what he needed to clear his mind of the previous events. "Mind having a sparring partner?"

[Caiest Hamilton S5]

Caiest was a bit surprised when the boy introduced himself as Pyro and bowed. Most people just left when she got angry at them. She was about to get angry again and yell at him to leave when he pointed out how pointless it was to practice Martial Arts by herself until he asked if he could join. She brushed her hair out of her eyes so she could see him better. He didn't look like he'd be able to do much fighting as his wrist was in a brace. Other then that he looked like he might make a good sparring partner.

"I suppose you're right it doesn't do much good to practice alone. You can join me if you'd like but don't be afraid to hit me just because I'm a girl." She said turning away and pulling her hair back into a ponytail. She really hoped he listened to her. Most guys would underestimate her being a girl and think that she wouldn't have what it took to be good. They were always wrong she had been doing Martial arts since the age of 5. Caiest turned back to Pyro. "Your move."

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

He smirked as he began to remove his school robes. "Oh, dont worry, I dont go easy, even if your a girl." He thought back to the Kendo sparring match between him and cassandra. He had hurt her pretty badly in that fight, had to take her to madam pomfrey to fix her up. He tossed his robes aside, showing him wearing some casual jeans and a very loose and baggy shirt. he frowned at her. "I hope your not embarresed or uncomftorable about this, but this shirt will only get in the way."

He sliped the shirt over his head to reveal his well muscled and tone upper body. he tossed the shirt over to the robe and than steped in front of her and got into a defensive crouch. he smirked when she told him it was his move. He shruged. "alright, Ill take the initiative." He charged foreward, figuring to do a basic attack routine just to test her out and see exactly how good she was. He stoped his charge and brought his foot up in a roundhouse kick.

[Caiest Hamilton S5]

"I'm glad you don't go easy on girls as it's stupid and not to mention pointless." Caiest said thinking of her conversation with Kris and Dana. Both of whom thought it was wrong for a guy to hit a girl.

"As for taking off the shirt go ahead I don't mind. However I should be allowed to take off mine so that it's fair." She said with a small smile before turning serious.

She watched as he went into a defensive crouch and she felt herself tense up waiting for an attack. She stood legs shoulder width apart and her knees slightly bent for balance. Her arms where up in front of her sheilding her stomach and chest. When Pyro charged forward Caiest was ready for him. Pyro kicked out with a roundhouse kick and Caiest blocked it with her right arm and punched with her left.

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

Pyro wasnt at all surprised that his kicked was blocked. he blocked her punch with his left hand. than letting his foot drop back to the ground he spun to his right, her left, while simoltanesly droping low to the ground. He stuck his leg out and went for a tripping kick aimed at her ankles. he talked while fighting.

"sure go right ahead. I wont mind if you take your shirt off" He remarked with a smirk on his face. "and dont worry, I dont go easy on girls because I know they can be just as strong as guys, so I dont hold back."

[Caiest Hamilton S5]

Caiest expected the punch to be blocked but she wasn't prepared for the tripping kick. She ended up falling down. She threw out her arms so that they took most of the impact. She kicked out while on the ground aiming straight at his chest hoping to knock him backward and buying her self time. She was getting rusty. She supposed it because all she had to fight with were training dummies and Golems.

"I'm glad someone in this god forsaken school knows that girls can be just as good as guys. It seems most of the schools populace has forgotten that."

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

pyro felt the kick in his chest and fell back. He was able to roll backwards and get his hands under him so he was able to roll up to his feet. His wrist gave a angry throb at him for the pressure but he ignored it. As soon as he was standing he charged at her. hoping to get her into a pining move before she was able to get up.

[Caiest Hamilton S5]

Caiest smirked when her kick landed right where she wanted it to. She immediately stopped when he charged at her. She knew he was probably going to try and pin her which would be bad. She wouldn't be able to get up in time to stop it that way. She would grab his wrists as he came to pin her and kick up using his momentum to propel him away and give her time to get up. If it worked then he would be thrown away from her if not then he'd end up pinning her anyway and then her chances of winning would drastically decrease. She really hoped this worked.

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

As he charged he suddenly droped to his knees and slid the rest of the way at her on his knees. There was no use trying to pin her while he was standing, he had to get down to her level, and this way he was low like her, and his hands were free to defend and block.

[Caiest Hamilton S5]

Caiest cursed mentally. He had changed tactics instead of trying to pin her upright he'd gotten low like her and that changed everything. She didn't have time to try and counter it and she found herself pinned to the ground. This would prove to be difficult to get out of as she wasn't very good at getting out of a pin. She was usually good enough to avoid getting into one. She talked while trying to find a way out of the pin.

"You better hope your girlfriend doesn't walk in and see you like this she might not like it." She said condecendingly.

She decided to try and knock the wind out of him so that she could reverse the positions. She drove her knee upward toward his stomach.

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

He was able to bring his elbow down to block her incoming knee.. He raised an eyebrow. 'My girflriend huh? and who exactly would that be?"

[Caiest Hamilton S5]

Caiest cursed mentally as he was able to block her incoming attack. She talked as she tried to think of a good move to get out of the pin.

"I don't know. You are a fairly attractive guy so I just assumed that you'd have a girlfriend. "

Caiest tried breaking her legs free so that she'd be able to reverse the positions.

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

He shruged. "Complement taken." A sudden move from her legs twisted his wrist. he yelped and was forced to let go.

[Caiest Hamilton S5]

Caiest took advantage of the opening and pushed him off of her. Since he was off and away she was able to roll up off the ground and she dropped back into a fighting stance.

"So was I right in assuming you have a girlfriend?" She asked.

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

he rolled backwards and was able to get back up on his feet and face her in a crouch. He shook his head. 'actually no, I dont have a girlfriend"

[Caiest Hamilton S5]

"That's surprising." Caiest said conversationally as she inched forward and did a roundhouse kick to his left side.

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

He arched an eyebrow. "why? am I that good looking" He droped down in a duck and kicked at her leg that was still on the ground.

[Caiest Hamilton S5]

Caiest grimaced as she found herself on the ground once again. She did a little roll that he'd done once before and was able to get back up. Either he was better then she'd expected or she was just really rusty. Either way she decided to block instead of attack.

She smiled when he asked if he was that good looking. "Need an ego boost do you?" She asked jokingly. "Well lets just say you're better looking then most guys around here."

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

He smirked. "well, Ill take that as a compliment." He charged forward and kicked straight up so that his foot was above his head at the end of the kick. But the kick was to soon and he missed, just like he had planned. As his foot was in the air he moved foreward slightly and than brought his foot straight down at her shoulder.
