Daisuke was sent toppling over onto the ground and got back up quickly. His expression turned grimmace at the news of what happened. He quickly nodded to Kei and followed after him.

Kei was the first to arrive back at his training grounds and figured it would be best for him to cool down a bit before getting back to training his students. Peeling off his shirt and dropping it on the pond's shore, so that he was left only in his fighting trunks he waded waist deep into the cold water before diving in. He took a few strong strokes and then floated to the surface, laying lazily on his back as he closed his eyes and floated on the pond's glassy surface.

Sheena was on her way to find Kei, she couldn't wait to be trained. Having walked down a path leading her to the new training site, she looked down at her map to make sure she was on track. Hearing a crunch and then a wizzing sound she looked up from her map, screaming with shock as she was hit in the face with something sticky. Wiping her face she looked down at her hand and found that her hand was covered as well as the side of her face in bright blue paint. Scowling she put the map back into her pocket, now that she knew where she was going she wouldn't be distracted again. 'So Kei must have put traps out, how intriging' she thought to herself.
Crouching down she looked at the ground closely before she stepped anymore, seeming to be clear she got up and started to run toward her destination. Getting hit with two more balls of paint on her back and left leg she slowed down as she spotted an old shack. Walking quickly she knew from how damp the air was that there was a pond near by where she could wash the paint off her face. As she started walking again her footing slipped as her left leg was sucked in by quick sand. "Great.....just fricken great." she growled in frustration. Pulling her leg hard with her hands and pushing at the ground with her other leg she got her foot out.
Getting up she started to run to the pond jumping over the quick sand spots and dogged some of the paint traps. Nearing the pond she slowed down and she spotted someone floating in the water, shaking her head she bend down at the side of the pond and stared at herself in the pond's reflection. "Wow, paint deffently doesn't look good on you." she spoke softly to herself and chuckled at her image.

"Seldom is it that one can find themselves attractive when covered in brightly colored paint, but fear not. It is water soluble so if you hop in the paint will come out of your clothes. Unless of course you want to take off your clothes and wash them individually , if that's the case you'll hear no argument from your other team mates. All of whom are male by the way." Kei said as floated towards the young woman.
Sitting up, Kei slowly rose to his feet on the water as if it were dry land. Shirtless, his upper body was revealed and it was well muscled and very toned; the body of a well trained and highly practiced fighter. "You must be Sheena. I understand you were a last minute inclusion to my team; so we'll wait for Daisuke and Harou to arrive so you can be formally introduced. But in the mean time, take a swim and get cleaned off." Kei said as he walked towards the large shadow of his shack and promptly flopped down in the shade.

A large smirk came across her face as she listened to what Kei was saying, when he stood up she was amazed that he had such a great build, muscle or not though he was deffently confident . Not that she could say much because she was the same way, "I'll take note of that. Although you won't find me taking off my clothes for anyone." She watched him as he went toward the shack. Standing up she knew that he was right about one thing though, she couldn't take being covered in paint anymore. Taking off her pink ribbon that was tied around her waist she put it along side her on the grass as well as her blue arm sleeves and robe, being in a tight spandex black suit didn't bother her that much but it was a quick fix to her problem, and seeing as how she was the only one here it didn't quite matter much.
Taking her robe first she started to clean it in the water, scrubbing it hard with her nails and then rubbing her fingers over it to get the paint out. After that was done she set it aside on a rock and continued to clean her sleeves and boots and her pink ribbon. Getting done with cleaning her clothes she took and hug them on a branch that was sticking out so the sun could do the rest. She knew it wouldn't take long so she decided on a swim to past the time.
She jumped into the pond and swam around wondering who the others were and what skill level they were at. Hopefully she wasn't the slowest and under-skilled one there. She knew that she couldn't fight that well, actually, she had never really gotten into a battle before and was very nervous. She knew that she could defend herself but fighting? Sinking into the pond she just had her eyes and nose above the water exhaling through her nose bubbles surrouned her. 'Please don't let me make a fool of myself' she thought to herself closing her eyes.

Harou jumped through the trees, making his way back to the training grounds. He made it back to where they had been training. He dropped down not far from his teacher, his kodachi's ringing in their sheaths. He smiled at his sensei. "Sorry it took so long, sir." he said politely, his hand behind his head, laughing to himself.
He noticed someone else in the area. He turned to see a young girl. Startled for a moment, he composed himself long enough to smile and introduce himself.
"Hello, I'm Harou Shibori of the ketushai clan." he said to the kunoichi, bowing politely.

Daisuke stood just before where he learned the traps started. 'Okay... Don't set any off...' He began to jog slowly as he scouted the arean for traps. He noticed a gleam of light and knew a whire was there. He jumped over it and jumped once more to avoid a pitfall. A little while later, and Daisuke had arrived at Kei, Harou, and a new face were standing. His face was beaming with happiness, having not set off a single trap. He stood next to Harou and patted his back. "Hello, friend!" He looked at Kei and bowed his head. "I too appologise for how long it took to return." He turned to the kunoichi and coppied Harou. "Hi! My name is Daisuke Kitahara of the Akuma Clan. It's a pleasure to make your aquaintence."

Kei sat at up and watched Dai and Harou greet Sheena, both of the boys were standing at the edge of the pond calling out to her. Rising from his spot in the shade he approached the boys from behind and gave them both a strong push to throw them in the water. Kei followed after them with a dive and with a few strong kicks put himself in the middle of the large ponds.
Rising to the surface he looked at his students, "Alright Harou, Dai I want you two to pair up and spar with each other; no jutsus or weapons though. Sheena, I want you to spar with me, same rules. After twenty-five minutes, we'll change partners; I'll fight Harou and Dai will fight Sheena. Another twenty five minutes and well trade partners a final time." Kei explained as he took a couple steps backwards. "Then you'll all come at me, so let's get started."
With his words spoken Kei fell into his customary stance, left side facing his opponent, hands raised to shoulder height in loose fists, while bobbing on the balls of his feet. "Whenever you're ready Sheena." Kei invited her to make the first move; mainly so he could assess her skill and how much he would have to train her compared to the others, who he had already taken their measure.

Sheena's mouth dropped when he announced that she would be fighting him, "Uhhhh.....okay." Taking a deep breath she regained her composure, 'Alight Sheena just do whatever it takes.' she thought to herself. Looking around real quick she knew what had to come first and that was to get her clothes on first. 'No I can't even do that, the water will weigh me down.' sighing she went into her stance facing him her left arm outstretched.
Jumping up she flipped around and landed on the ground, "First things first, lets get out of the water." looking at him she smiled. "You can take it from here." She knew that she had no chance against Kei but seeing how he moved and how he attacked would be an advantage, lets just hope it wouldn't back fire.

Kei watched Sheena intently as he walked in an arc, not allowing himself to come to close to her, but close enough that he was just out of her range. However, using his nearly six foot tall height and his longer reach meant that she was in his. So in mid step he twisted on his right foot and swung his left arm out to deliver a back hand punch.
Using the same momentum, Kei balanced his weight on his left foot and chambered his right leg so that before his left hand landed his pushed off with his left leg and extended his right leg in powerful whip kick. The left back hand strike was a feint, to set up and deliver the stronger, faster, right roundhouse whip kick.

Paying attention to his arm Sheena put her arms up to block it, but instead got kicked by his right leg. Throwing her back she twisted her body around and landed on her hands and feet, 'Nice shot' she thought to herself, making a quick calculation she launched off her feet and sped toward him winding her right arm back in a balled up fist. "Lets see what you got!" she screamed at him in mid air.

Kei landed on his right foot and quickly planted his left leg to distribute his weight and ready himself to react to Sheena's counter attack. So when she launched herself towards him he did what she probably wouldn't expect. He bent his legs and dived underneath Sheena, rolling across his shoulders until he was directly under the girl.
Placing his hands under him, Kei pushed up and held his body completely vertical, in an effort to perform an up kick to Sheena's stomach. The move put him under her arc and if successful meant that he could propel her forwards and disturb her arc causing her to crash instead of land.

Gasping with shock she saw him crouch down, but there was nothing to do she was in mid air, all she could do was hope that the kick wouldn't inflict that much damage. As his foot slammed into her stomach she could the air being forced out of her, flying toward the ground she hit it hard, rolling a few times she stopped herself with her feet. Kicking at the ground the momentum brought her upwards. Landing on her butt she glanced at him and spit the blood from her mouth onto the ground. 'Damn him....' he was quicker that she had thought, no match for her what so ever. Getting up again all she could hope for was to keep on going, but she was confused at what to do. Every move she made he knew right off the bat, his thinking and skills were too quick for her. The only thing she would have is to out-smart him at his own game but how was she going to do that.
Watching him intently she went over some ideas rapidly trying to think. Smiling she charged at him again running at him with full speed, 'Lets see how quick you really are.'

After delivering the up kick, Kei tumbled forward into a roll and came up on his feet, and immediately took his stance once more. Kei's fighting style revolved around balance and speed, developing momentum and delivering it through a strike was how he generated his power. Some fighters, like Manndar, developed their physical strength to deliver greater force. Kei was not amongst them.
Another thing about Kei was his style provided the 'Best offense is a great defense' mentality. He was comfortable starting an attack but he far more adept and receiving and countering enemy attacks. So when Sheena bull rushed him, he was fairly comfortable waiting for her to get within his reach as he dropped his weight into his legs.
The purpose of that was to act as his anchor, he would allow Sheena to hit him and he would let his body go with the force; developing energy from her momentum to counter.

Watching how he moved she knew that even though she was attacking she had to be swift but also she had to be on guard. Sheena charged at him full force, jumping up slightly she round house kicked him aiming for his head. Although her guard was down she knew that she could try and block him if he countered but wouldn't be all together effective, but the blow he would make wouldn't hurt as much as it did last time. She was ready for whatever he was going to bring to the table, her arms close to her body for protection to her mid section.
