Into the Past [13 Years] [Flashback Training/Open]

[Anri of the Grass]

[Enter 7 Years Old]

Being new to the village, Anri looked around to see what everything was like in the village. The man who brought him into the village had recently passed away so he was now on his own. So Anri explored looking for something, anything to get his mind off of the past 3 deaths in the past few weeks. Finally Anri noticed two people and approached them silently. One seemed to be a somewhat short female, and a young kid no older than 8 smoking.

Breaking the silence Anri spoke up finally. "I'm Anri, the new guy I guess." He said awaiting a response.

Flow like water, the mantra that Kisara did her best to follow as she exhaled calmly putting herself in an opposite stance as she prepared for the attack that Koga was going to throw ruthlessly like always seemed to do. She looked at him for a moment as he didn’t need any time to get ready, especially since he was only 10 years old and already 1st Dan in Aikido. He mouthed something as he threw his right handed chop towards her head as he mouthed something that she couldn’t understand. Anyone in ear shot would hear his speech, “Stupid bitch, you’re disabled ass keeps me from practicing anything other than these stupid basics.” He said with a cold facial expression as his side strike was more like a hammer fist, moving at full speed. He was not prepared for Kisara to respond as he figured she wouldn’t be able to respond on time with her weak little body. He was honestly right in thinking that she wouldn’t be able to react quickly enough to his strike, if it had not been for the fact that she had heightened reflexes from the simple lessons given to her by Niyamara-Sensei. She almost reached on her own as she leaned her body forward throwing her own straight hand tegatana towards Koga’s throat.

The tegatana strike was honestly an ingrained response to being attacked as her body moved with the flow of combat, allowing her to exhale as she grasped his arm at the elbow stopping it as she brought her left hand back from the strike and placed it in place to take the strike a step further as she stopped thinking, letting everything flow naturally with the momentum. She could feel Koga’s center of gravity as she only made contact with him for a second; which she memorized with her eidetic memory, remembering every detail as she made a rotational step around Koga’s right side so that they were standing mutually and the elbow bend of his posture was now being controlled completely by his momentum and her directing of this momentum. She didn’t put in any physical effort to get him into this posture as his elbow was already naturally bent and she was just following the motions, like water flowing down a stream. She couldn’t hear, and she couldn’t speak normally like other kids, so she expressed herself through martial arts, and through sign language. It was hard for a kid like her to be understood, or even accepted as she was so different from everyone else.

As she had the natural bend of the elbow under her control she pushed forward taking a step forward to force Koga towards the ground, his facial expression seemed more like a look of disgust than of approval of her successfully pulling off the technique. She extended his arm as she held him there on the ground, putting pressure on the elbow joint and on the wrist using the shoulder as a lever as she pinned him, putting her knee just at his shoulder as they landed with a loud thud on the dojo floor. She looked over in this moment of taking Koga down, the cool breeze of the summer blew through the open door, moving Kisara’s lightly braided hair as she looked across the room at a pair of young students who had just entered the dojo. They seemed kind of new, as far as she could remember that was. She made eye contact first with the fellow who seemed to be smoking. She felt herself making contact with the ground, but she didn’t quite understand that was what was happening as she just stared at the smoking guy, as if frozen in that moment, her blank expression reading nothing into her thought process except for her light red pupils which set her apart from the other kids besides her short stature. She then turned to look at the other fellow, who had white pupils as far as she could tell. She kept the pressure on the lock as she took her free arm now that her knee was holding pressure on the shoulder and weaved it under the fellow’s arm to create leverage.

She never broke eye contact with the pair of them as her attacker from moments before became less of a concern for her. These new people, they interested her, more than these students who only cared for themselves and being “normal” kids. Kisa, after having looked at them for a few seconds simply blinked as if awaking from a trance of sorts. She looked down at the now furious Koga, who was cursing as moderately in tone as possible. Kisa looked down with no remorse, lifting up on the hold, dislocating his arm at the shoulder, leaving Koga there to scream with the immense pain she had just inflicted upon him. She knew that Koga had tried to strike her on purpose, and that he hated her, everyone else here did, so what made Koga any different? She stood up from his wounded body, looking back at Niyamara-Sensei as she seemed to have a mixed look of distress and satisfaction. Quickly flashing a downward V hand sign to signal that she would see her teacher later, she made her way towards the end of the room where the new kids had shown up. She looked at the pair with a much calmer expression before, and she was sure that they expected her to say something; however she didn’t quite understand speech, as she was deaf. “Hey, I’m Kisara Misuzu…sorry if I scared you, you two are new right?” She quickly signed using the language that she knew as she thought about the popping feeling of dislocating someone’s shoulder. As violent as it sounded now, this maneuver could eventually resolve conflicts without death. Trying to look as apologetic as possible, she held her head a little lower than normal keeping her eyes locked on the floor as she figured they would simply ignore her just like the other students.

[Deleted]

Alex winced as he heard the shoulder dislocate. The girl who dislocated his shoulder walked over to him and seemed to be trying to communicate with him. Alex had no idea what she was trying to say to him. He really didn't know any sign language. Holding up one finger Alex looked back over to the kid on the floor. "Hmm... One moment."  Savouring the flavor of the cigarette Alex walked over to the downed kid and put his foot on the kid's collarbone. The kid began to scream as the pressure applied a lot of pain to the spasming muscle. Alex grabbed the kids extended arm and pressed the ball back into its socket. There was a sickening pop as the kid screamed in pain and fainted.   

Alex looked back over at the teacher who was standing open-mouthed and pulled out a single match. Lighting the cigarette he wordlessly walked over to the doorway as the teacher went to go address the kids status. "Let's get out of here before he starts complaining about the smoke." Alex said as he motioned the two to follow him out into the courtyard. Alex gave a rare smile back towards the girl. "nice moves there."

[Anri of the Grass]

Anri was stunned from what he just saw her do. He hadn't ever seen anyone her size put up a fight like that, male or female. This new environment confused him a little. Young children smoking, and kicking ass. It wasn't what he expected, but it's what he would now call home. Anri knew at least Alex could speak the same language... But Kisa tried to communicate through sign language... Which Anri knew none of.  All he knew was how to throw up his hands and shoulders to show he didn't understand her at all. Following behind Alex, Anri began to think of a way to talk to the girl without them really being able to communicate. Either way he followed Alex and his smoke trail.

Kisa was confused as the white eyed fellow simply threw his hands up in confusion. She didn’t understand what that meant, and from previous experiences she simply thought that he didn’t understand her like most other people. Figures she thought to herself as her mind wandered back to the technique she had just pulled off a few moments ago. It had been a fluid motion that utilized nothing but her opponent’s momentum as she visualized the movement in her head as she was attempting to speak to the fellows using sign language. She felt like the smoking guy was getting what she was saying until he stuck his finger out in front of her. “One?” She thought to herself as she didn’t know what the number one had to do with her greeting the fellows as she expressed a look of confusion as the fellow walked past her over to Koga who was still on the ground. She remembered the popping of the fellow’s shoulder as she mentally felt herself getting into the posture, seeing the strike towards her face as she instinctively reacted in such a way that she instinctively stepped into the strike, blocking it at the elbow and throwing the tegatana towards Koga’s throat. She felt the perfect flow of her directing Koga’s force much like a dam controls the flow of a river.

She could see her side stepping motion in her head as she took the now inside position as she bent the elbow down towards the ground as she manipulated the bending of the body in order to drop Koga down to a locked elbow crouching position. Stopping the ingrained image in her head, she critiqued what she could do better next time as she noticed that she didn’t really need the tegatana to act as a striking piece as each throw lock and takedown could be implemented in different ways, such as using hand deflections and other methods that aren’t taught with the kata from the traditional Jujitsu. The hand blade could instead be used in a manner of deflecting the blow at the wrist and pulling it down so that the take down could still be performed just form a bit of a different position, the right foot would still need to be forward, or the left depending on situation. The hand blade could instead be used in a manner of deflecting the blow at the wrist and pulling it down so that the take down could still be performed just form a bit of a different position, the right foot would still need to be forward, or the left depending on situation. The hand blade could instead be used in a manner of deflecting the blow at the wrist and pulling it down so that the take down could still be performed just form a bit of a different position, the right foot would still need to be forward, or the left depending on situation.

She inhaled in a relaxed fashion as she watched the new modification taking place as she watched herself pull on the joint, extending the arm and forcing the wrist down as she used her other imaginary hand to pin the elbow into a lock, forcing the mental image of the opponent, Koga at this time, into a couching position once again, this time she didn’t force him to the ground, and mentally she paused the image so that she could think about all the options that could take place with the attack. Now holding this pinned position, she noticed how brittle the locked elbow was, and how easily it would break if she applied only but a little upward pressure. This position also left the target in a good position to receive a downward strike or even a knee to the face if she wanted to take the attack that far. She of course knew about the ability to take the target down to the ground to further disable them; however that wasn’t the most effective method for fighting multiple opponents. She also noticed that the center of gravity of most males was towards the waist, meaning that if she were to take a step forward and use the other hand to curl the fingers, she could force the target into a flip from that position if she really wanted to, but that was a bit too gentle for Jujitsu’s nature.

She could see herself going further into the technique as she realized that she could bend the elbow, using the leverage to topple her imaginary opponent to the ground, just as she had with Koga. She thought it was funny that form this position all she would have to do was lift up and roll over the arm if she wanted to. It would make for a much quicker and easier dislocation of the arm to put the opponent down and out. She might even break the elbow from here if she felt the need to do so. All in all she analyzed her technique, making sure that she did it each time properly enough to where it could be implemented in battle. Waking up back to the real world with the sudden relocation of Koga’s arm, he seemed to stop moving after the kid went over and put his arm back into place. She could still feel her reaching under the arm for leverage, ending it there…was she cruel? No, this was the world of martial arts and people got hurt, that’s just how it was. She could still feel the bruises from having been thrown around earlier by Koga so aggressively. She watched as the fellow returned, but kept walking towards the door. She wanted to thank him for fixing her classmate, but he just made his way out of the dojo. Making her way after him, with the white pupiled guy, she stopped in the door way looking out at the fellow who had just made his way out into the courtyard. Kisara felt as if she were truly in the wrong here. She kept her eyes locked on the fellow as he seemed to be saying something. She didn’t quite understand, it just sounded like slow mush put through a cheese grater, but he smiled after having seen her unconsciously brutalize another student for no obvious reason as far as she was concerned.

She felt as if she was an embarrassment, yet this guy kept smiling at her and she couldn’t help but feel her face getting a little red as she tightened her face before softly returning the sentiment. “Thank you for the smile,” She said taking her hand and lowering an open hand down from her face as if blowing a kiss without the kissy face. Then she did a little patting on her shoulders before making a smile gesture on her face so that he would get that to the very least since he didn’t seem to understand sign language. She was grateful that he wasn’t too angry with her for causing such a mess thanks to her disability. Even though they didn’t understand her, she felt like she was going to be good friends with this pair of new kids.

Alex blinked a few times. He stepped outside and felt the sun on his face. He turned and faced the girl. He still wasn't quite sure what she was trying to say but he got the basic jest of it. She gave a cute smile towards him with several hand gestures. She was cute... Alex could feel his face turning red and turned his face away with his noise in the air. Alex tried to keep some level of cool by dragging in on his cigarette. Hopefully this would hide some of the stupid on his face.

[Anri of the Grass]

Anri watched blankly as the girl made an adorable face, normally he would be smitten by such a dace, yet his brain was else where. All he thought about was his pain, his lost family and opportunities, and most of all... Revenge. He wanted everyone who hurt him dead. He hadn't cared about power much before meeting Sato, but he realized. This woman was a powerful taijutsu user, and could help him whoop some ass.

Anri got all flustered as his young brain spun and turned and reeled. "Miss... Could you help me get strong. I want many to die by my hand, as painfully as possible." Anri said towards Kisa with a blank face. Noticing Alex hiding behind his smoke he thought maybe he could help too. "There are many I need dead if you want to help me too." Anri said looking at the smoker hide behind his smelly cloud of pure bliss.

Kisa was happy that these two seemed to be acting like her friends as far as she could tell. The way they were acting was a warm change from the rejection she had come to know. She felt much happier with the pair that thought one was hiding his face behind some smoke, she could tell that they were destined to be friends. The white eyed fellow approached her and started moving his mouth, she could hear the rhythm of what sounded like words, but she was unable to understand or articulate what she was hearing. She looked over at the fellow as he looked like he was interested in something, but his face was so straight. Quickly signing, she tried to ask what he wanted. “I don’t know what you said?” She said looking confused as she visualized the throwing move again as she inhaled, thinking about the move she had performed once again as she knew that she would have to mentally practice over and over again if she was to have any hope of mastering Jujitsu.

“I’m not quite sure what you want, but I can show you some Jujitsu if you want…since we got kicked out of the class,” She signed, doing a few chopping motions with her arms and doing a nodding motion with her head to show an affirmative. She stopped for a moment and grabbed Anri’s arm extending it all the way as she put her left hand at his wrist and his right arm at the elbow. This was one of the basic parts of the takedown she had done only a little bit ago. She was showing him the basic maneuvers, but for someone who hadn’t spent lots of time training in hand to hand combat it might still be a little too soon to show him something like that, she thought to herself as she let him feel the locking of the elbow, and the bending of the wrist. The arm would surely attempt to resist her grip; however she was holding him purely through the skill of joint manipulation instead of strength, so struggling would get Anri nowhere when it came to struggling if he did. She wasn’t doing this to hurt him, since it wouldn’t cause any pain, but it would show him the basics of joint locks. She then stepped around him, making the circular motion that was iconic to the move.

She held him there for a moment, holding his arm in the backwards hold as she bent him down to a kneeling stance gently, hoping he would follow the motion. She didn’t want to have to put any pressure on the joints, and it would make holding him easier. She wasn’t going to take him all the way to the ground, but she figured he would be able to think about the move more having had it performed on him slowly. She felt each joint in his arm, and the way it moved. The funny thing about this was that she could feel how strong the joints were, their flexibility was slightly better than that of someone who was like her with a frail body. He was definitely someone more fit for hand to hand fighting, and he would definitely benefit from training hard, but his body might be more suited for something like Karate Goutetsu, or Muay Boron than Jujitsu. Jujitsu was a gentle style, designed to counter attacks, not really throw attacks, thought it certainly had that capability. It was designed to take on opponents with weapons as well. She felt the lock holding as she looked at Anri expectantly, wondering if he had learned anything from her showing him the technique up close.

It was strange that she felt as if she was doing the right thing by holding him there so he could think. She looked back at Alex, wondering if he was watching her. She kind of wanted him to see how cool she was doing her Jujitsu in her Aikidogi and Hakama skirt. She was proud that she didn’t need any strength to be effective at this martial art as she bent the elbow, letting Anri feel just a little bit of the pressure as she wanted him to see where each joint bent. It was more of a stretch in the joints than a pain as she released him, nodding with approval as she hoped that she had not overdone it. “Sorry for that, I hope that helped,” She signed hoping that he would understand her intentions by doing the technique on him. “Let’s be friends.” She signed, clasping her hands together to form the word friends as she expressed this to both Alex and Anri hoping her feelings could reach them. She thought about how easy it was for her to bend joints when doing the technique, how the flow of water always seemed to listen to her, but sadly people normally did not.

Alex gave a challenging smile and Anri. "You kill someone? That's a lot of lip service there. I'd put my money on the lass over there getting the first kill before you." Alex would then ash his cigarette before putting it back in his mouth. "See those hand motions right over there. She wants to do some sparring... What do you say Anri?". Alex would then proceed to take on a strange fighting stance. He would raise his right leg up to his chest and point his toe towards Anri. Then start the next phase of readying his stance.

Alex would raise his left hand, open in the air above his head. The whole thing would look rather weird but Alex knew the potential this fighting style had. He had remembered his dad showing him the style of combat that specialized in being unpredictable to another fighter. This style was the style known as Zui Ba Xian. Absolutely a style that a 9-year-old kid should not have any familiarity with. Although never being drunk in his life up to this point Alex knew how to emulate their movements. 

Keeping his bottom foot flat on the ground he turned and angled his body between the two of them. His cigarette still lit. He waited for either of them to respond. "Well... anyone else care to have a playful spar?"

Neutral or Passive Stance
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The Neutral, or Passive, stance is your natural, unprepared position.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: It is extremely useful for all aspects of training, considering that, on the street, you will most likely need to perform combatives and self-defense techniques without any preparation. Be sure to train from this position at least part of the time when working on combatives, and at all times when practicing self-defense techniques. The Stance: Stand with your feet about hip-width apart (or less), with your arms hanging to the sides.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Krav Maga.

Kisara was confused as she stopped, noticing that the kid that had been walking ahead of her, whom she still had not clue what his name was, suddenly got into a really strange looking pose. She cocked her head to the side, keeping a natural posture, as she didn't want to seem alarmed, as she might react and get into one of the jujitsu forms if she were to do so; which might indicate that she wanted to fight...which she honestly didn't. The fellow seemed to be staying in some sort of kung-fu pose, which she simply relaxed quickly forming a few handseals as she tried to fathom what it was that this kid wanted. "Do you want to fight me?" She would ask aking a few gestures as she hoped that her wanting to be friends with the two hadn't triggered this response. "I just wanted to be friends." She responded again with hand gestures as she kept her center of gravity just above her tail bone relaxing as she need to keep her head focused if there was to be any hope of her defending herself from the possible attack. She inhaled a relaxed breath as she made sure to keep her feet about hipwidth apart so that she could mobilize in an instant if she had to. It was all about timing and being able to transition smoothly into another stance; which made it easier for her to use some of the takedowns from her jujitsu style.

She kept her shoulders relaxed and her gaze forward as she thought for a moment, the other kid remained unmoving as she exhaled, letting herself nod in approval as a cold glance washed over her eyes, making it appear as if she wasn't feeling anything other than what was going on. In all honesty it was a facade, using her natural posture and facial expression to disguse her disdain at fighting the fellow. She wasn't a very good actor, but all the same, she felt as if she could take this kid down without hurting him; which was an important feature of her plan as she didn't want to cause any physical harm to the fellow. She was a gentle as a flower when it came right down to it, but the world of martial arts had toughened her up a little bit, making her appear like an asskicking machine as she prepared herself for any posture transition as she figured it was time to see what this guy really could do.

Drawback: ---

Description: This puts the character’s hand in a good position for blocking and striking, keeping the hands and arms of the user ready for a wide variety of techniques, and makes the shoulders ready for explosive movements. The wrist is in a position where it can easily strike or block, and the fingers are curled in with the index finger hooked out, which helps in trapping an opponent's arms while blocking. The arms can be used for short or long range techniques, as well as the elbows, combined with various feints and strikes.

Limit: Must learn from a Zui Ba Xian Quan Master, or be a Natural Drunkard Boxer. Must know Bēizi Quán.

Alex looked over at the small girl and smiled making sure he could tell that he was being playful. He relaxed his pose and put his arms in front of his body and relaxed his shoulders getting ready to move in any direction that he might need to in order to start the playful spar. Alex smiled as he set his hands out infront of himself. To a would be on looker it would appear like he was standing off balanced and totally unprepared for a fight.

But in reality it was a stance where he was prepared totally for himself to strike out in any direction that an incoming hit might come in from. Alex relaxed his muscles and began to sway back and forwards keeping the weight constantly moving around his body making prediction difficult. Alex kept his eyes on the small girl and let a playful grin stretch across his face.  He would motion her towards him with two fingers.

Alex smiled as he tried to egg her into a playful fight. Keeping his eyes watching towards her center of gravity he prepared himself for her to make a move against him.

Mizore, in the full sun lit morning tread her way through the landscape of Grass Village. She had to make a few trips as they Kage hasn't shown up in months. Reasons why? Nobody knows so far. So she has been sort of resting in the keep by herself. Well not totally by herself, but in the midst of that she was aware of things changing around here. People were losing a bit of luster in their lives. So Mizore hasn't been getting a whole lot of good stuff to watch from her various stalking corners. And if she can't stalking people. What else is there to do besides mindless work? So here she was now. At a random dojo on the list of building to check in case of renovation.

Mizore would sigh then stare at the door ahead of her. Wearing a baggy multi-colored jacket consisting of the colors, White and Blue. Her frilled brown, skirt, and the purple striped stocking socks that covered her legs enough to make the outfit work. Her plain white shoes keeping the mellow look well...mellow. She'd knock on the door, not very enthusiastic when speaking, but spoke anyway. "Hello? I am making a check or whatever. Anyone home?" Little did she know, that she was knocking at a residence that couldn't hear her...

Shomenuchi Ikkyo Ura
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A spinning take down with an elbow lock defense against a high attack.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture From Ai Hanmi, initiate the movement by extending your right tegatana into your partner's face while advancing with your left foot. Align the toes of your left foot with your partner's toes in order to establish a proper distance. Grab his elbow firmly with your left hand and his wrist with your right hand. Pivot your right foot to the rear while applying even pressure on his arm with both hands. Pin his arm at a right angle to his body as in Shomenuchi Ikkyo Omote. Just as in Tai no Henko, step toe-to-toe with your partner and use your front foot as a pivot on which to turn out of the way. Move your hands and feet in unison. Twist your hips the instant you align the toes of your left foot with those of your partner's right foot in order to break his balance. Bring him down with a feeling of circular pushing and turning. When an opponent is on the ground, the user is free to break an elbow, dislocate the shoulder, dislocate the write, or even strike the controlled target. The user is able to redirect 10% of the opponent's fighting power back to the opponent when performing this technique as a counter.
Limit: Must learn from an Aikido Master. Must know Shomenuchi Ikkyo Omote.

Shomenuchi, the high aimed arm strike, mimicking the movement of the ken in such a way that it was applicable in such a way that someone wielding such a weapon could be stopped using the blending methods of Aikido to not only change the direction of the momentum, but to also redirect such a force back into an opponent. This concept of Aiki, or blending energy was clearly the only advantage the 140cm tall Akidoka had as she was dressed in a white Gi top and the Hakama skirt bottom that was signature of the martial art. Her Partner, Nage for this demonstration, initated a high Shomenuchi strike towards Kisa’s head as she heard nothing, as her ears had been damaged when she was very young due to a very serious illness contracted during childhood. First intercepting the fellows arm wrist to wrist, using the right arm to block the blow as Kisara didn’t simply block the strike, but utilized the idea of circular motion, making a small circle with her wrist to redirect the force of the blow as well as directing her energy past the arm as she mobilized her other free hand in the same instant that the first was maneuvered. It was important that she did so, as she would require a firm grip and control over the elbow in order to successfully maneuver her partner.

As her left hand would firmly grip the fellow’s elbow, the next thing to do for the maneuver was straighten out the elbow, as well as apply a circular stepping pattern, switching from the opposite stance to a mutual stance, using such a circular motion to cary the fellow’s momentum down to the ground into the takedown. Such a maneuver with enough momentum could be used simply as a throw; however Nage would have to be aware of this fact, as they would need to implement a break fall in order to avoid face planting into the mat, which was not a pleasant experience. The circular stepping was part of the concept that the human body worked naturally in circles, and that the body itself could not resist following circular motions. It was this idea of moving circularly that allowed someone as small as Kisara to pull of feats such as throws and takedowns with little to no effort on the throwers side. Kisara used her partner’s momentum and body structure in order to manipulate the elbow so that the fellow would be forced to the ground with little to no resistance.

Applying pressure to the elbow as the circular step made for the spinning motion that off balanced her partner, Kisara would push downward taking a step forward as the elbow, with the added leverage of Kisara standing over the fellow was straightened. Using the wrist as a means of deterrence, Kisara bent the wrist with her free hand, using such a hold to keep the fellow in place as holding the wrist immobilized both the elbow and the shoulder. Holding the pin, Kisara would bend her body low, kneeling down next to the fellow as she would allow him a moment, watching his hand for the tapping motion as she applied subtle pressure to the fellow’s arm in order to shoot a small amount of pain down the fellow’s joints. It was common practice to get the feel for just the right amount of pressure, not enough to cause damage to the limb or harm to the body, but enough to let the partner know that they were being held there by their joints and nerves. The fellow would tap as Kisara would let him up, noticing a young woman standing in the door of the dojo, mouthing some words that she really couldn’t understand. Surely she wouldn’t understand sign language, Kisara thought to herself as she went back to focusing on her training.

Kneeling down in the Suwariwaza posture to perform the Suwariwaza variation of the Ikkyo Ura technique from Shomenuchi, as each Aikido technique was applicable from the Suwariwaza kneeling posture. Preparing herself, her partner leaned forward with the high strike to her head. Using the same principles as the standing technique, and using her toes and body as a means to lever the fellow around, Kisara blocked the blow circularly, with her right hand and used her left hand to apply the pressure to the elbow as the pivoted with the fellow’s natural lever action the twist requiring her to pivot her body on her toes so that she would end up facing the same direction as her now lying opponent as she held him there onto the ground, having had performed the technique from the kneeling posture, as was the way of Aikido. Releasing her partner, she exhaled before standing up and turning back to the woman as she seemed basically ignored by the fellow students who were much too absorbed into their practices to pay mind to the very relaxed voice of the Kaishin woman who had just peeked in.

(Sorry for my absence. So unreliable of me.)

Mizore was left standing at the doorway having to watch the two of them do their vigorous training. Hot, stuffy air wedging in her nostrils making her face sneer a bit before she began producing a cool breeze around her body to block off such a thing. Her spike-tipped hair lightly flowing from the current being recycled around her. Her glassy eyes, watched the two in a locked stare as her movements for the most part were unresponsive other than the rise and fall of her chase from breaths and her darting eyes. She watched them with a strong look as they did what they must. What they pleased maybe. 

Her hands still at her waist as she didn't say anything further. Mostly only wondering what exactly it was they were doing. By the looks of it they were ignoring her, which in that case was going to rub Mizore the wrong way at some point. She never likes to be ignored if she goes through all the trouble, to make herself noticed in the first place. So she stood tall, even with her smoothed out posture. With this she'd speak again to the girl that was training with the other person in there. "Um...hello? I am here to uh....inspect your place? Do you understand?" She would say, her right hand making gestrures that wasn't sign language, but a gesture to ask if she understood her. However in a completely respectful, and different way of speaking. Her hand motions not sign language, but most certainly understandable able.
