Kikisu stood there at the edge of the bazaar, near the desert sand dunes of the outskrits of town, this was where he had asked for Kokoro to train with him, he really hoped that she would take his offer of training, since he hadnt actually used his puppets in combat in a long while, Tabok was on his back and so was Harisma, they were both wrapped up in a dark brown linen, though they both had a strap that would release them from their wrappings, on the small of his back was his other puppet, sealed within a green scroll, though Spink was more of a straightforward puppet compared to Tabok he was just as well made.
Kikisu sat down on the sandy ground and looked into the sky, the clear blue sky was beautiful today, today his hair was in a tight ponytail, held back with a scrunchie, his clothes today were all white due to the heat he would have to put up with , a white robe that flapped in the wind and a fishnet shirt underneath, he also wore white silk pants, around his neck was a white bone cross with a silk rope, in this attire his scars were almost invisible.

Kikisu decided that it was a god time to meditate for a while, so he went to his knees and closed his sky blue eyes and thought, he sat there until his training date would arrive, her and her beauty would be something to be good to open his eyes to...

Kokoro, clad in her white tank-top, rummaged through her closet in an early morning haze. She stumbled to keep her balance on her own two bare feet. Her eyelids were tempted to droop close. Her vision was blurred. She was not accustomed to waking up this early, and she would rather be asleep for another four or five hours. But this was the day Kikisu offered to train with Kokoro, and she did not plan to pass up an invitation to spice up her training regiment. She had to be very cautious, though. Last time she trained with another person, her unbridled strength sent him straight to the hospital. She did not know if Kikisu was as equally, if not more, frail than her squadmate was. She had to restrain herself for Kikisu's sake.

Kokoro pulled out a white blouse clinging to a wire hanger. She gave as much of a detailed inspection as she could muster, given her eyes were still in limbo between awake and asleep. There was an unexplainable magnetism to this blouse. Normally, her go-to training outfit was a black hoodie and a cap. She knew that if she wore it it would surely become dirtied, possibly torn or ruined beyond repair. Despite the risks, she felt no worry, no unsettling churning of her stomach. She was more than willing to try something new. Or even risky. She grinned excitedly as she removed it from the hanger.

With hands in her pants pockets, Kokoro shuffled through the bustling bazaar. Her black shoes were already getting covered in dirt and sand from dragging her feet. Her black pants were so far unscathed. Her long black hair draped over her face. She was not yet comfortable to show her face in public. To walk through the overcrowded streets of Suna was like stumbling through a dark cave with no way out to her. As each person walked by her, she instinctively rotated her body to the side, turning her back to them. Every second lasted longer than she could bare, but she persevered through the loud and over-packed village streets.

At the edge of the bazaar, she spotted a boy in a white robe and silk pants meditating on the sand. Kokoro smiled, recognizing the boy as Kikisu. His tan hair was tied up in a ponytail, and on his back was strapped a dark brown linen package. No doubt his puppet. Kokoro enthusiastically sprinted towards Kikisu as fast as she could. Her hair tossed through the wind like a banner. The grains of sand rolled beneath her feet, causing her to lose traction, but she continued forward with a wide smile across her face. Reaching Kikisu's side, she gave him a playful punch to the shoulder.

"Hi!" she warmly greeted him. "Haven't seen you in a while. How have you been?"

As he sat in the desert sand he heard the sound of running, the footsteps of someone coming towards him, and before he knew it the girl named Kokoro came and playfully punched him in the arm, though it didnt hurt he could feel the power behind it, he could tell that even barely trying she was probably punching as hard as he himself could punch, he laughed and stood up, he looked her over, he saw that she was wearing a white blouse and blacks pants, her long hair hung loose of her, not much had changed on her from last time he saw her, she was still beautiful, and after she asked him how he has been due to them not seeing each other in a long time, he hugged her and let go and answered in his silk smooth voice, I have been well, But the real question is how do always remain so pretty?, even when about to train He gave her a quick wink then said lightly, By the way, please dont go easy on me, even though your a Chuunin now, i will not be taking no easy fights, and if you do you will be hard pressed, i mean it is a three on one in a way he giggled lightly since he knew that she wouldnt know that he would be using three puppets at once today, he then awaited her response, smiling all the while at the sight of her...

(OOC: Sorry for the delay!

Kikisu raised to his feet and pulled Kokoro into a welcoming embrace. Kokoro squeaked slightly and her body tensed as his arms wrapped around her tightly. She soon felt the warm tenderness from his hug, and her body melted in his arms. With her arms pinned to her sides, she bent her elbows to pat Kikisu's sides awkwardly. Kokoro giggled at the ridiculousness of the situation, something she rarely did. "I'm so glad to see you too," she whispered with an uncontrolled smile.

Kikisu answered in a smooth voice, "I have been well. But the real question is how do always remain so pretty? Even when about to train."

Kokoro looked away, blushing. A gleeful smile crept onto her face. She knew she should be used to his routine compliments, but every time he said one, her heart felt like it skipped a beat, her skin became littered with goosebumps, and her skin became warmer. Is this all normal? she thought. She turned towards Kikisu, giggling and smiling nervously. Her pale cheeks were flushed. "T-thank you. You're beautiful too." She prayed that she did not sound like a fool.

Kikisu then shifted to the subject of training and encourage Kokoro to not hold back, even though she was a rank higher than him. Kokoro blinked, surprised. She did not expect Kikisu to find out about her new promotion to Chuunin. I guess news travels fast in Suna. She pulled the length of her hair behind her head. She began to twist and wrap her long black hair into a bun as she spoke. "O-okay then." She cleared her throat. "I guess we should lay down the parameters..." she said unsure. "First to be unconscious or surrender loses. Is there anything else you want to do? To make it interesting or...?" She lifted her arms, reaching for the clouds, and grunted as she stretched the tensest muscles of her body.

During the hug he gave her she blushed and patted his sides awkwardly, it was all too cute, he giggled after he let go of the embrace and told him that she had missed him too, he like the sound of that, he even had the grace to let a slight blush creep to his cheeks, making the milky white face of his slightly pink at the cheeks. The girl then called him beautiful, at that he giggled a bit louder and tousled the girls hair in his hands and then turned and got a bit of distance between them since he needed some space for his puppet art.

"First to be unconscious or surrender loses. Is there anything else you want to do? To make it interesting or...?" was the last words that Kokoro said before Kikisu started to get ready, he threw of his white robe top and threw it to the left into the sand, revealing his fishnet shirt, since it was see through you could make out some of his chest, the milky white torso was muscled and toned but not overly big, perfect for a puppet user he prided himself on his figure sometimes, since he was quite nice to look at in his eyes.

He then made a jest and a warning at the cute sparring partner that he had today,I mean we could do it so that each hit the other takes a piece of clothes off, but i wouldnt want to have to try and spar you naked now, i might get a sun burn ahahaha, though in truth i wont be talking to much during the action, i need t really focus you know, so ill just start if thats okay he jumped back again, now he was 15m from his friend, he then activated his puppet jutsu, attaching strings to the two puppets on his back, Harisma and Tabok while taking his scroll off his back and opening it with his mouth and holding it open in his mouth while unsealing the other puppet, Spink, since it was a simple thing to unseal spink cost a minute amount of chakra to bring out, and the moment that he came out he then attached the strings to the dino puppet as well, suddenly there was a change in him, Kikisus face became tense and emotionless, his mouth twitched with concentration as he started his puppet dance, he sent Tabok forth swinging his Dao at the shoulders of the cute girl, sending forth 5  quick slashes at the same time that he sent Harisma the crusher flanking to the left, as fast as the puppet could go (My Speed, so E-0 i think XD) Sending the large fisted marionette around and just as the sword attack was done whether or not the girl had dodged the attacks or not, Harisma would swing forth with his massive fists, aiming for her head, sending punches all over her face area, aiming for the pretty face that kikisu loved so, and in this confusion He sent his other puppet up into the air, flying upwards, and just as Harisma was finished his punches Spink would just be making it down at the girl, opening its teeth wide, aiming for her throat, aiming to knash her, any emotions that Kikisu felt towards her was not in his mind, it took all of his concentration to actually stay in step with his puppets, he hoped that this act of the dance worked, this was the first dance...the dance of the Virgin, the next one wouldnt be so easy to see, the next was the Dance of the Squid...it was soon...
He stared at the girl in front of him, she was so beautiful, she was a bit scaly andher hair was a little bit limp, but that was a A class girl in front of him, he wanted to impress this girl, so he made his movements that much more fluid and strong to impress this girl...
