Ran continues to grin even though she sees Taida stagger from her punch. He really was not used to hand to hand combat. Well she would have to help him with that as best as she could. She also may need to pull her punches more, though he did recover quickly so maybe not. She dodges his next strike easily though his kick caught her leg causing her to stumble. She quickly recovers and snickers at herself and retaliates with a quick left right combo still pulling her punches enough to not actually harm him. She was also aware that the hollow was still watching them. And soon realized that the other pare had left. Ran does not care that they left she is just glad that they did not bother them. She turns back to Taida with a spinning round house kick just stopping short of actually hitting him and watches in shock as her slipper flies off hitting the wall just above the hollows head. She had already unknowingly stepped out of the other slipper. Why were their none small enough for her.
Sasori watches the pair spar for a while longer until suddenly a slipper came flying and hit the wall above his head. He looks at it, an amused expression on his face. He then looks back at the young girl whose foot it had flew off of before quietly leaving the training area. He walks out the front door, appearing to all the world like just another human. He looks around the town, wondering where to go for entertainment next. This little bit of time back here where he had lived had already proven entertaining, and he was eager for more.

Taida does his best to keep up with Ran, but he isn’t cut out for melee combat. Sure, he was trained in it in the military, but he had never been good at it, and he wears out fast. It isn’t long after the Devourer has left that he has to stop and leans against a wall to take a breather. He spends a few minutes getting his breath back, until a couple of memories twinge in his head. He can’t fully recall them, but he knows where he can likely do so. He pushes himself away from the wall and turns to Ran. “That is all the training I can do today, I am not used to a lot of melee combat. And I don’t mind if you follow me to where I am going next, but just be warned, there will be more of my kind there, and they may not be as nice or friendly as me. Especially beware of the one with the wolf, he gives me a bad vibe.” He leaves the dojo then, making his way back to castle.

Ran looks back calls an apology to Sasori as She and Taida continue to spar. After a few minutes she notices him leave and wonders why he said nothing about nearly getting hit. It was not long after that the Taida decides that he needs to stop. She Is not even breathing hard as they stop for the breather. "Ok Taida." She says when he tells her that he is done she understands everyone has a limit and it was a good thing to know where that limit was. "I think I will stay and train a little longer then their is something I have to do. But I hope our paths cross again and that we can still be friends when we do. If you need me for anything send your doll or a message to me and I will come running" Ran then watches her friend leave. She did think about following but something told her it would not be wise. Though she did have second thoughts about not going with him. She turns back to her training for a few more minutes then decides the hell with it and chases after him. If the one with the wolf was a threat she would just retreat as fast as she could or kill this other bount if she had to.

Akachi Tomura
Reiatsu 50 | Speed 10 | Strength 10 | Defense 5 | Stamina 10 | Intelligence 10 | Spiritual Power 5 Akachi grabs a practice sword from a stand in the secret basement of Karakura Kendo and Karate. Starting in Jodan-no-kamae, often called the fire stance, he warms up by practicing basic footwork and kata sequences. Once he feels warmed up and loose, he moves on to what he came to work on. First he practices a few new advanced kata he had been working on, quick techniques that had you constantly moving around the opponent to keep them off balance by not knowing where your next attack is coming from. After practicing those for a while, he moves onto the more unique techniques this place offered training in. He had already learned them from one of the instructors, but was now just trying to get to where he could do them naturally and smoothly, without having to think through them. He starts with Agitowari, practicing the move starting in the fire stance. He worked on his control of the blade, keeping it in line and a single straight motion, as well as the strength behind the attack. The technique needs to hit straight and with enough power to make it through the target for the technique to be successful. And there was no point in not being able to do an attack completely and properly. That was just a waste of an attack. He continues to practice the move until the dojo closes and he goes home for the night.

Raiu had left the dojo and thought she was doing well in heading for the Endless Plains. She thought she had made all the right turns, That she had followed the directions well. So why was she back at The Dojo of Lost Thoughts? Was there some kind of spell on this place that did not let you leave till you learned all the skills that it wanted you to learn. The poor girl sighs and reenters the dojo. What was there left for her to learn anyway? She could almost hear someone laughing but once again she could find no one. So she heads down another hall that she did not remember going down earlier. It dawns on her suddenly if the one side was for armed combat this side was for unarmed combat. She was not certain why she had this thought or even where it had come from. As she plays with her sword - at least that was how it would look to others if anyone even noticed her. - She practices the others skills that she had picked up while training. Even Ushinawareta-dō while not realizing it. It took some time for the youngster to notice anything off about the place. Raiu had arrived after the Karakura Kendo and Karate Dojo had closed for the day. At least the part that was upstairs. When she spins around she notices someone walking down the hall and hurries after them. She then follows this person down to the basement where she looses track of them. This is where it dawns on Raiu that she was no longer in the valley of screams but was somewhere else. She hesitates for a moment then hurries on to explore the dojo. In one area she sees someone using an open palm strike in an attempt effortlessly shatter a Hollow's head with a single strike. Raiu giggles then squawks as the person fighting a fake hollow vanishes. So Raiu attempt to copy the action but she does not put much faith into it. Why use hand to hand when you have a sword? But she still gives it a try. After a bit she notices someone else extend their index and middle fingers of one hand in unison while they are in contact with an opponent, who is sent flying several meters away. She does not understand this one but before she can ask anything the memory fades away. She sighs and walks off. After a bit Raiu began to think that this place was pact with memories. As she watched several people train sometimes overlapping each other before they fade away. Seeing this causes the girl to giggle again. But she wished she could find someone to interact with. She was really feeling lonely now. At one point she grows sleepy and goes in search of a hidden spot to sleep in. It takes a bit of hunting but she finds a spot in a closet in a room covered in dust. No one would find here hiding here she thinks. Wondering why this particular room was so dusty.

Raiu is woken several hours later by a noise outside of the closet. She lays there quietly for several minutes as she listens. But she does not hear the sound that woke her again. The girl moved quietly closer to the door to look out between the clots in the closet door. She saw nothing. Raiu cautiously opens the door and leaves the closet. Then the lass moves across the room to the door that leads out to the hall and waits listening for any sound. Maybe whatever woke her was just a dream. She then opens the door and looks up and down the hall. This time she can hear people training somewhere. Or was it just another memory fragment? Raiu waits a bit then decides to go where she hears people training. The child soon finds a handful of young men of varying races following the instructions of a teacher. Who looked to be very old compared to the students. Raiu sits near the wall and watches the lesson until the class is over. The instructor soon dismisses his class and calls her over. Even referring to her as a young blank. He patiently leads her through a lesson of her own. Showing her every technique as he teaches it. Every know and then he tells her that she needs to let her body remember how to do the strike or kick as body memory lasted longer than the brains memory. Or something like that. Raiu did not understand but she enjoyed the lesson. The teacher was kind to her and let her practice as long as she wanted. Even though he made her takes breaks when he thought it was necessary to. Once class was over he told her to go play a little or rest. She left him and his next class to explore the dojo. The youngster plays for awhile in a random area of the dojo until she decides enough time has passed and heads off to find her instructor again. But she does not find the old man anywhere. This surprises and confuses her she was certain he would still be in that room. Raiu rolls over and bumps her head on the back wall of the closet that she was sleeping in and squawks in surprise and confusion. It had just been a dream? Or a strong memory fragment? With a soft sigh she gets up and leaves the closet. Silent tears fall as she walks out of the room. Raiu was not looking for anyone they were all gone. There was no one to find. She was not running from anyone either. No Raiu was just trying to live one day to the next. She wipes the tears off of her face and heads off down the hall. She did not see anyone just like back in the Valley of Screams she was all alone. Back near the entrance she hesitates debating what to do next. Or where to go. Raiu also realized that she seemed to have a cruel individuals memories. Or maybe she was this person reborn as a lost spirit. Raiu shook her head and turned around. Remembering suddenly why she wanted to come to the dojo. Their was one technique left for her to learn well maybe three but she was not ready for two of them. Her old instructor had not been able to teach her this skill. And she had promised that she would learn it. The skill was Ikkotsu and it was one of the unarmed combat techniques that she had not understood why she needed to learn it. Her old instructor had told her back then it was always good to have all the skills you could whether they were melee or long distance. You never knew what situation you could find yourself in. You could lose your weapon or the enemy could be to close for you to draw your weapon. She had finally caved and learn all of the other skills but another student had killed him before she could learn that last skill. The young lady moved on till she found a suitable looking area to train so that she could master that last skill. Ikkotsu was a powerful punch which can possibly destroy much of the target's abdomen, send them flying along a city street, and throw them through a building. At least that was how the old teacher had explained it to her. So she started practicing strikes putting as much force into each strike as she could. But once this was done she was not sure what she would do. Raiu was not even sure if there was more skills to learn or what she would do but at least she would have kept her word with her dead instructor. Once she is satisfied that she has mastered the skill Raiu leaves the dojo in search of adventure.
