Location: Gym
Summary: Yuka attempts to figure out how exactly one uses a sword.
Warnings: none at time of posting

After hearing from Kallen that you could actually train with your Weapon before a real battle, Yuka had gone to find Sora to ask for some practice. It wasn't so much that she really wanted to win her match the next day, but she didn't want to make a complete fool of herself, or accidentally hurt herself, Himoto-san, or her opponent because she didn't know what she was doing. Plus Himoto-san had been so nice in volunteering to help her, and she'd feel terrible if she lost the fight right away after that. She knew she probably couldn't become good at fighting in just one day, but she could at least...not be completely incompetent, surely.

So the two of them made their way to gym (hopefully there wouldn't be as many people in there?), and over to a good empty spot. (And Yuka tried not to think too much about gyms and basketball teams and if this place took memories away why couldn't it take that one?)

She turned to look at Sora and frowned slightly. "So do you just...pull the sword out?"

Exaclan weapons went through clothing and skin like they were air, so Sora had never faced that problem. The only thing that could block them was another weapon. It didn't matter how hard you swung it, as long as you actually hit. It was kind of scary, if she stopped to think about it. So she didn't.

"Yeah, and some of the other boys from my school. Reiko too. A lot of people I care about left." Her smile was sad, but present. They were here to help Yuka, after all. "I just have to believe that they're okay."

Hmm, okay, Yuka thought she probably had basic slashing down; she tried swinging the sword in a few different directions. Hope you're not in the way, Sora.

It was nice that she'd had people from her world here, at least. Though that would make it even more sad if they left. "Well, maybe they went home?"

[allurprincess]

She stepped out of the way of the blade once Yuka began trying different swipes and swings, but stayed so she was close enough to talk comfortably.

"That's what I'm worried about. I guess it's hard to believe, but it was better for them here."

[brokencrane]

Swing slash slash. Her aim was not very good but that was probably okay for just starting, right?

She paused for a moment at Sora's statement. "Better here? Why?"

dfsddsf forgive me ; ;

"Our school is run by Iwahijiri," she'd apparently forgotten, again, that people she'd never met didn't know about the corporation. "It's not a nice place for anyone, girls or boys."
