Who was he here as today? He didn't know. Was he Aclime, the kamyuja seeking redemption and repentence? Perhaps he was here today as Gekkido, the upstanding chuunin and anbu member of Kirigakure. It was funny how simply holding a blade in ones hands could draw out who they were on the inside. He glanced about dojo at his "peers." No one really seemed to know what they were doing it was a beginners session after all. Aclime, or perhaps Gekkido, had never stepped foot in the kirigakure dojo, so it was simply assumed.
Flashback___________
Age 8
"Assume the position. Training starts here." An unknown sensei would say to him. The year and date were fogotten, but it was his first lesson in formal swordplay.
Young Aclime followed the forms of everyone around him. His legs bowed slightly, putting him slightly between a kneel and a stand. Gathering his awkward young body, he fought his balance in what, at the time, felt like an awkward position. The sensei came around and pointed out the flaws in the stances the students were taking. For Aclime, it was his hands. Both were resting awkward close together. After brief further instruction, he corrected this rather quickly by sliding his left hand down further along the sheath till it rested about halfway. Tightening his right hand more, he felt it becoming firmer, until finally the form felt right
End Flashback____
Aclime assumed the battojutsu stance. His form bowed slightly, maintaining its flexiblity, right gripping the hilt of his sword. The left hand hung loosely near the middle of the sheath. He was ready to practice an art form not used for quite some time.
