The muscles running down both frontal legs are called Ulnar carpal flexor and the Carpus and digits muscles. And tensing these can easily provide enough power in a strike. They ripple whenever Kali extends her paw and the power of her strikes can easily send a person stumbling back at an surprising length. And upon connecting to the punching bag, the sausage shaped bag spins around. Kali turns around and applies pressure on her frontal legs before kicking off with her rear paws once more.

These next two blows have quickened in pace and all have managed to strike the bag. The drawback of this technique is that all blows cannot strike the target due to the inaccuracy of the blows and speed. This technique focuses more on speed rather than accuracy and I believe that Kali is focusing on how accurate her strikes are. “Kali, speed!” I say firmly, trying not to sound upset with her. Kali barks before parting from the bag. A few moments later she is at it again.

She spins around as if she is attempting to catch her tail, but instead she is leaping into the air and extending her legs whenever they near the bag. And when she lands, she moves around the bag as if it were a real opponent. Snarling noises echo through out the Dojo as she moves in to strike the bag again. The spinning motion does improve Kali's speed however, she had not exactly landed a proper hit yet. My companion darts back and lowers her head before diving toward the bag once more.

As she uses her frontal paws to land on the floor, my companion twists her body around and lashes out with both her back legs. The blows slam against the bag roughly and a loud creaking noise echoes around the dojo's wooden walls. “Good. Again!” I demand with a smile. Kali obeys and darts forward once more. Her motions are leaps, strikes, twists and ram-like. Her paws successfully strike the bag yet they are terribly inaccurate. I would describe Kali's movements rather slam-like mixed in with a series of punches and kicks. “Keep it up! Good girl!” I say, excitement clearly resides within my tone.

Sekondo Nen (Second Sense)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The brawler depending on the rank of the technique the user is capable of reacting through subconscious mind against attacks against the user in different manners such as being flanked, and from behind. This technique makes the brawler incapable of being surprise attacked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Brawler is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. If an opponent comes to a Brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Brawler

Kali continued to kick and throw herself at the punching bag. As far as I am concerned, she has learned the technique, now it was time to move on. While we were outside tossing the metal pole back and forth; when I had lost it and Kali was in search, I had picked up a stick that had broken from a nearby tree. I draw it out of my pouch and moves toward Kali with an intent to attack her. I wonder if my companion's usage of the second sense technique is in play.

I jab the stick toward Kali's back and at the last minute, I will change direction so that I will not hurt her. Kali's quick sense drives her to kick back, striking me in the center of my chest. My corset breaks the blow, however I am still forced back. Kali turns around and watches me, appearing deeply confused. It is clear that she has not forgotten to stay on guard and I smile upon seeing that.

I need Kali to stay on her feet at all times, so I quickly create a exact replica of myself in the form of Mist and directs the clone to attack my companion from behind. My clone rushes toward Kali and draws out a Kunai. Our intentions are to attack because Kali will know if I will not. This confuses my companion, yet Kali manages to swirl around before raising to her hind legs and striking my clone. The blow would have been successful if my clone wasn't made of mist.

Kali travels through my clone and appears more confused than before. I do not speak to her, and this leaves her more confused. The clone attacks my companion once more and at the same time I do too. Kali dashes toward the clone, travels through it and turns around to face me. “Not too bad, girl.” I say before having the clone throw a kunai from behind me. I duck as it flies overhead and Kali jumps to the side, allowing the kunai to strike the wall.

This time, both my clone and myself head toward Kali at once. The clone stops abruptly before I deliver my attempted punch. Kali retreats and my clone steps in with her punch. Kali does not exactly know who is the real me and does try to keep her distance. I rush toward her, grabbing the stick from the floor and throwing it toward my companion while my clone throws a kunai. Both weapons shoot in a diangle direction and all Kali does is duck.

The stick and kunai travel overhead and my companion backs herself into a corner. Both the clone and myself speak at the same time, each smiling in our same manner. Our movements are the exact same, every moment, every sway of the hands. Kali comes out from the corner and moves across the Dojo. I head in one direction while my clone heads in the other. My clone dives toward my companion and brings her leg up to kick Kali in the ribs. The wolf jumps slightly and kicks back with her hind legs.

The blow goes right through my clone and when Kali's legs touch the ground, I come forth and strikes her softly in the center of her back. My companion whimpers and scuttles away, it was a fright, not a whimper of pain. “pay attention, Kali.” I snap, my voice firm. Kali shakes her head slightly and charges toward me. My clone intercepts and throws a punch in my companion's direction. Kali pulls herself into a stop and backs off.

She is very alert and on guard. Her ears have perked up and she is listening to all the noises around her. Nothing is behind her since both the clone and myself are standing before her. I dispel the jutsu and the replica of myself disappears. “Well done, Kali. Let's see wither you can pick this one up...” I say before moving into another series of attacks.

I unhook the punching bag from the ceiling and takes it, along with my companion outside. The blizzard has indeed eased and the wind is no longer high enough to knock someone over. The snow is hard enough to walk on and should not prove difficult for Kali to run along either. I hold the bag out in front of me and digs my fingers into it's material so that when Kali does collide with me, that I will not suffer the full power of the ram. I turn poke my head around the side of the bag and smiles.

“Kali, move ten feet away from me please.” I say and watches as my companion jumps up and runs the said distance. I widen my stance, lifting my skirt slightly and digs my heels into the snow, my right foot is slightly forward while my left is straight and firmly within the snowy ground. “Alright, run at me at full speed!” I shout through the punching bag and braces myself. Kali circles a few times before breaking into a run. I can hear the padding of her paws as they thump against the snow, it scares me but this has to be done.

Kali lowers her head and tenses the Sternocephalic, Brachiocephalic and the Trapezius muscles that surround her neck and shoulders. And as she gains speed, her breathing becomes slightly labored. A soft grunting noise can be heard and the speed of her paws as they hit the ground quickens as my companion nears the target. At this point, I grab hold of the bag and tenses my own muscles. And just before the ten feet distance is closed, Kali runs directly into the bag and stops abruptly upon hitting it.

The force of the blow sends me, along with the punching bag fling back hard. I am ripped off my feet and is sent sailing through the air before landing on my back with the bag landing on top of me. I am of course in pain, and for a moment I cannot move. I hear more padding along the ground as Kali approaches me and after licking my face I smile. “Again.” I mutter before sliding myself up. Next time we will tie the bag around something.

I limp over to tie the punching bag around a nearby tree with a thick piece of rope and sends Kali away. And after ensuring the tightness of the bag, I turn around to Kali and flags her down before hobbling out of the way. Kali circles again and breaks into a full out sprint, gaining speed as she moved. Yet again, my companion tenses the muscles surrounding her neck and Omotransverse muscle located in her front chest area beneath her bottom jaw. The reason for her lowering her head was to increase speed as well as decrease the pain once she collides with the bag and tree.

“Faster!” I yell upon watching her. The Wolf picks up her speed by bobbing her head and driving her legs into the snow more briskly. And from my position, I am able to see Kali's muscles rippling as she bolts for the target. The speed should be enough for her to make a successful collision and to deal the damage that should be made. As Kali closes in on the target, her legs drive themselves deeper into the snow and the labored breathing returns. And as the target grows closer, Kali's speed increases.

I see slime fling out from Kali's mouth as she nears the bag and upon closing in on it, she lowers her head right down and slams her body into the bag without stopping upon contact. She drives all the power from behind her all the way to her front and sends it all into the tree upon collision. The force of the blow literally snaps the trunk of the tree, causing the branches to tumble down with a loud, sickening thud. Kali moves away from the tree, panting as if she had just ran a mile at full speed without stopping. The bag is partially destroyed and the tree is no longer standing.

I approach my companion, aching and kneels down to pet her. Kali's muscles appear stiff yet she is lolling happily. “Well done Kali!” I say, rubbing my dog's body. We will do this one more time through as something is lacking in the approach. But nevertheless, Kali has done a brilliant job!

Kali seemed very pleased with herself and had sat down to regain her breath. I have decided to travel back home in order to see if Lucretia wanted to tag along in the trip, however, I highly doubt it. I painfully raise to my full height before dousing the lamp. “Come on, girl. Let's go home.” I say with a smile before making my exit, Kali following silently behind.

[Enter]

A small wooden Dojo house stands at least fifty meters away from the border to the small town of Yozamu. This town is rarely visited and that is the reason why I like it. The Dojo has not changed since Kali and I last used it, and when we both enter it's doors, the wooden floors still remain untouched and the same. The door creaks as I close it and darkness becomes more dense. “Alright, Kali. Let's get started.” I say, lighting the single lamp which sat upon the window sill beside the entrance.

Kali ventures into the Dojo and sits down while I go to set up the training ground. Within the cupboard of a Dojo house, there is always training equipment present. It is as if whomever built this Dojo knew that someone was going to use it, and therefore, had stored the equipment inside. I quickly set up a large cushioned wall in the center of the Dojo and straps the blue cousin tightly against the frame. “You first.” I say, turning to Kali and kneeling down to meet her.

Kali approaches me while I am knelled down. My long shirt hangs loosely between my legs while my corset digs slightly into my stomach. My gloved hand gently pets my companion's head while I stare at her. “Do you remember when you were learning the bull rush?” I ask. Kali barks and lowers her head. “Good. This new techniques is very similar to bull rush, but the difference is that you don't run toward your opponent.” I explain before raising to my full height.

Kali turns to the cushioned wall and studies it. “Leap into the bull rush.” I simply say before moving back. Moments before I knelled down, I had positioned myself five feet away from the target. I wondered if Kali will be able to successfully perform this within that one and a half meter. And with a click of my fingers, Kali moves into position and leaps forward as if diving toward her opponent. The Wolf's head is lowered so that the section just behind the neck will strike the target as Kali collides with it.

The Brachiocephalic muscle located in the back of the neck is tensed as Kali's body slams into the cushioned wall. The force of the hit knocks the frame back slightly. My companion jumps out of the way and turns around to charge again. Seeing that the frame has not been knocked over upsets Kali. I know this because my canine has began to growl. Kali is like me in that way, she does not like to loose or fail so therefore, she will try again until the goal has been achieved. This, I cannot help but to smile at. With the muscles in her neck tensed tightly, Kali angles her head down once more.

Her strong hind legs kick off the ground one more, and the power of the kick sends her into the air and slamming against the target once again. A loud creak echoes through out the Dojo as the frame strains against the force of Kali's attack. The entire target pushes the frame forward but only a little. A louder growl escapes from Kali's throat as she backs away. “Focus Kali!” I snap while I observe her from a distance.

I was beginning to notice by the way Kali was behaving, that she was growing frustrated with her unsuccessful movements. She can only shift the frame of her target by a fer centimeters. It is clear that when she runs toward her target, she is capable of knocking it over and causing more damage. However, at close range, her strength is that of a regular wolf. I place myself on the floor seven meters away from Kali and the frame and watches her carefully.

Kali moves halfheartedly and rams herself against the frame. It is clear that she no longer has interest in learning this. Sigh. “Kali, come here.” I say sternly. The tone in my voice causes Kali to lower her head slightly. My Wolf approaches me cautiously and sits down. “You need to tense more than just your neck muscles.” I pause. “Put more effort into your dives by tensing the muscles you feel will benefit you!” I say before pointing at the cushioned frame. Kali grunts and turns around.

The canine positioned herself nine feet away from the cushioned frame and lowered the first half of her body toward the ground. I noticed how she kicked off with her hind legs while tensing the entire front half of her body as she maneuvered herself forward. As the front half of her body raised due to the leap, Kali quickly lowered her head before ramming the back of her head and neck into the cushioned section of the target. A loud screeching noise echoes through the walls of the Dojo as the frame shifts backward, sliding across the floor.

I stand then and moves over toward the scene to observe Kali's progress. By then Kali has removed herself from the frame and is sitting beside the wall. I notice, by judging from the scratch marks on the floor, that the frame was moved three point five feet across the floor. I shake my head and turns to Kali. “You need more force.” I say firmly. I don't mean to sound harsh toward her, but Kali needs to get this correct. Kali stands and approaches the spot where I am standing.

The icy eyes of my companion studies the cushioned frame intently. The steam coming out of her nose has increased in speed due to the fact that Kali is frustrated, but nevertheless, she continues to push herself. 'This has got to be the one...' The voice within my mind continues to say. My eyes continue to watch my Wolf as she lowers her head low to the ground. The muscles trailing up all four of Kali's legs ripple as she tenses them moments before she throws her body toward the target.

Kali's hind legs kick off the ground firmly as she launches herself into the air. Both her frontal legs are bend slightly as the Wolf remains momentarily airborne. And whilst she flies through the air, the muscles surrounding her neck, head, and chest tense. I know this because they bulge and ripple deep within her coal colored fur. The head of my companion lowers a fraction of a inch as her body nears the cushioned frame and I notice that all of my companion's weight is being forced toward her head and front.

A loud screeching sound tears as my ears as the Wolf collides with the frame of the target. And this time, due to the extra additional force of her dive; the frame lifts right off the wooden floor for at least five seconds before fling toward the wall which sat fifty feet away from the center of the Dojo. The wooden frame lands on the floor with a loud echo of a thud and breaks upon impact. This startles me as well as my companion. However, Kali quickly backs away from the crumpled frame and sits down beside the wall.

I approach the frame and looks down at it. Kali had managed to knock it at least three feet into the air as it flew toward the other side of the Dojo. This pleases me and I turn to face my panting canine. “Good work, girl!” I beam before knelling down. “One more go should do it, don't you think?” I ask, reaching out to grab Kali's head. The Black Timber Wolf eyes me before lowering her head in a unhappy response. “Come on, girl!” I press with a smile. One more time and I'll let her rest.

Kali is a Black Timer Wolf, and is a very aggressive wolf at heart. I had noticed this in her persona ever since I first met her. She was reluctant when meeting others and had a strong disliking for humans. Even I, her only human friend and companion, has problems with keeping her clam. Kali has lashed out at a number of by-passers while walking with me down the street. This is why she walks a few feet behind me at all times.

When I was gathering up the cushion for the frame that Kali had just destroyed, I noticed a stuffed training dummy sitting in the far corner in the storage shed. I choose to go in and retrieve it since I do not want Kali taking chunks of my flesh out of my arm. Lucretia is not that skilled of a medical shinobi to heal such wounds. Once the training dummy is in place, I gesture for Kali to approach me. I knell down to her height and speaks firmly.

“I want you to lash out onto that dummy and tear away at it.” I say before raising to my full height. The Wolf exhales and turns on the dummy in a manner that I have seen many times; the manner she goes into moments before she lashes out on something. This I move well out of the way and stands by the wall. The entire Dojo is Kali's at the moment and it will stay that way until it is time for her to stop. The two icy eyes study the dummy carefully and the smoke escaping from the canines muzzle increases in speed and size.

Growls bubble up from deep within Kali's throat but she does not move. This gives me a uncomfortable feeling, but I show no fear; especially with being in the same room as a Wolf. All the hurt and the past memories play out in front of Kali's eyes as she stands there. The killing of her parents and the horrible treatment that she had to undergo before meeting me. All of it, traveling through her mind like an endless movie. By then the canines that line my companion's mouth are bearing, saliva drools down around her bottom jaw as Kali growls, and within a few seconds Kali lashes out toward the dummy.

OOC: Sorry for the not-training post. I had to build up something.

All in one swift movement, Kali's jaws latch onto the right arm of the training dummy. Kali's Incisors and canines sink deep into the fabric of the dummy's forearm or wrist. And it is that moment that Kali begins to twist her neck and head, ripping it toward the left and right in sharp, tearing-like motions. The muscles in Kali's neck and jaw tense as she yanks backward, while all the same she moves inward detaching her jaw only to grab another chunk of flesh.

Minutes tick by and Kali gives one hard yank on the dummy's arm. A large mouthful of fabric and tissue rips off the wrist of the dummy and Kali's body forces back. Now, in battle that could have easily been the foe yanking their arm away from Kali causing her to release. However, as soon as Kali lands, the chunk of tissue is spat out of the wolf's mouth before she lashes back for another bite. Loud, vicious growls echo throughout the Dojo as my companion's jaw latches on a spot on the dummy's arm again.

This section is higher than the first bite and the grip of it appears more sturdy. Kali tears her head to the far right and the cotton unbuttons itself as Kali rips her head sharply to the left. This tearing motion I'd imagine would be horribly painful on the person if it were an actual person. I am glad I chose the dummy. Kali gives the arm a good yank and pulls herself backward. Yet another large chunk of the dummy's arm comes free and sends the wolf skittering backward.

Kali spits the chunk out and rushes forward again. The look in her eyes show pure intent to kill and destroy. This time her aim is lower. A good grip on what appears to be the dummy's Sartorius muscle, or the inner thigh. The grip on the said section of the dummy is an incredibly good one. And as the wolf begins to twist her head around and latch on tighter, the dummy's leg automatically begins to break and come away. This does not stop Kali and her movements before more aggressive. She yanks on the leg and twists her head sharply to the left before ripping yet another large section of the leg out.
