Light Up the Sky

"Nino! Look!" Emiko's voice seemed strangely loud in the dark haired man's ears. He had been standing there staring out the window as though his soul had moved on, and he was just now standing there with nothing left in him. This image dissipated a fraction as the dark haired man turned his head and stared at the red haired girl wondering whether or not she had actually managed to form a weapon. Upon seeing the gun, a half wave of nostalgia hit the dark haired man. It was nearly the same gun he had formed the first time in training. He said nothing for a minute before smirking halfway and forming his own gun in his hand. "Let's go shooting then," he said after another moment.

Emiko blinked as though unsure of what to say at Nino's comment. However, the dark haired man simply turned around and was starting to walk out of the room again. "Wait where are you going?" Emiko questioned.

"Off shooting, come on," Nino ordered back. With that, the dark haired man was nearly out the door. "You're going to need practice, anyways." With that, the dark haired man continued down the hallway now with Emiko in tow. Wonder if Matsu wants to come..... Nino thought to himself before finally stopping and then heading in the direction of the white haired man's room. However, upon opening the door, the dark haired man found that Matsu was no where to be seen. Nino stared a moment not saying a word before starting down the hallway again.

"Wasn't that Matsu's room?" Emiko asked looking in the room to find no one there.

"He's probably off somewhere or something...." Nino answered back. "Come on, we need to continue training." With that, he continued out of the hospital completely. In the back of his mind, the dark haired man wondered where the white haired Empathic man was.

"But..." Emiko had stopped now and was looking back at the hospital.

"I know Matsujun can take care of himself. I trust him with that much," Nino smirked a bit knowing he trusted the white haired man far more than that. However, he wasn't going to admit that straight outwards just yet. Emiko seemed to sigh and nod to herself, and both walked up the street towards the parking garage that Nino and Matsu had trained in only a few hours before.

Emiko stared a moment upwards at the garage before following the dark haired man inwards. Both walked to the top of the garage that was now a level shorter thanks to the previous training of Nino and Matsu. Emiko seemed to note this but said nothing on it. At the 'top' of the parking garage, Nino walked to one side and motioned Emiko to move there as well.

"Do you know how to fire a gun?" he asked after a minute realizing that Emiko probably hadn't.

"A BB gun...." Emiko answered back as though trying to produce something to the effect of a gun. Nino nodded a moment and sighed to himself. That wasn't technically what he had in mind, yet there was nothing he could really do about it at that point in time.

Taking hold of his gun, Nino took it between two hands and appeared to break the barrel off of the handle. However, the gun opened up easily enough. There were no bullets inside as it was Nino's point to show. "There are no real bullets," he said aloud. "Just a large amount of spiritual pressure used to form into spheres that are then shot. Depending on how much energy you use, you can fire as many times as you want."

"Ok..." Emiko answered back looking down at the gun still in her hand. Subconsciously, Emiko was causing the gun to follow her own movements. Emiko seemed to be looking around before Nino seized the barrel of Emiko's gun. The red haired girl stopped short and looked at Nino.

"Rule number one, don't aim at something you haven't already seen," he sighed outwards. "When you get a lock on your target before hand, it is easier to shoot." Eimiko sighed and seemed to nod at this. Looking off, Nino took a few steps and began picking up cans and things left in the parking lot. Setting them upright, the dark haired man put them all in a line at the other end of the garage. After walking back, Nino looked at Emiko. "Take aim at those," he sighed.

Emiko looked through her own gun's sight and appeared to be trying to aim it perfectly. Nino sighed again and walked around her standing behind and taking hold of one of her hands. "Your hand needs to go here..." he said moving down her left hand a fraction on the gun. "When shooting with two hands, it is easier to keep the second one out of the way of the first whose got the trigger. It also keeps ya from getting nervous and shooting when you don't expect it. Only use one finger to pull the trigger."

"Ok..." Emiko answered moving her hand a bit on the gun and refitting it. Pulling back on the trigger with one finger, Emiko appeared to shoot towards the cans. However, nothing happened. Nino turned red and was suddenly resisting the urge to laugh that had taken hold of him. "What... just...." Emiko's tone was irritated now. Nino couldn't hold it and was now laughing a fraction before covering his hand with his mouth and forcing himself to resume his serious visage. Coughing a fraction as he still tried to get his face back in order, Nino looked back at Emiko.

"You didn't charge up any spiritual pressure," Nino managed to keep his voice level, but it was still rather teasing in nature.

"Well I didn't know!" Emiko shot back, and suddenly the gun turned into a fan in which the red haired girl used to smack the dark haired man over the head with. Blinking, Emiko seemed to stop as she realized what she had done. "A fan?" she asked now looking down at what had been her gun.

"Once you form a weapon and have some knowledge as to its true form, you can make it anything you want," Nino sighed a bit still resisting the urge to laugh at Emiko for the fact that there was not shot taken. Emiko, appearing to realize that Nino was still laughing at her even if it was a dark humored laugh that Nino rarely made if ever, continued to smack Nino over the head with the fan. "If you were a better teacher I would have shot it! And there you go saying I didn't do something when you never mentioned it!" Emiko was more or less irritated with the idea of Nino laughing at her than anything, it appeared. "Quit laughing at me! It's not like you!"

Nino froze for a moment before turning around and away as he started to walk perpendicular to the cans but away from Emiko. "Sorry," he sighed a bit resuming his darker appearance. He stood at the other side of the garage now and was leaning on the raining looking out and away. "Change your gun back and then charge it with spiritual pressure by focusing your emotions the way you did in forming the gun. Then take aim and." A gun went off, and Nino retracted his arm lowering the gun again. The can on the other side fell straight over easily. In one motion, the dark haired man had shot the can perfectly. He didn't look back at Emiko and simply fell into silence as he waited.

"Don't worry about hurting me. Show me what you got!" Ame smirked with a glint in her eye. The idea of fighting was something amazing to her, and she loved every motion every punch every kick and every fully finished spin. It was her mastery of art.

Elle seemed ready for this as well and stood before charging and using a slice kick. However, Ame allowed herself to naturally move downwards and avoid it easily. AS the girl appeared to try and throw a tea-cup punch, Ame smirked a bit and seized the hand as it was coming at her. Using the initial momentum, Ame forced Elle back with her own force. Suddenly finding herself kicked in the legs, Ame allowed herself to twist backwards, finish a back flip, and stand on her hands for a minute before finishing the format and standing up fully again. She's got spunk. I like it....

Ame grinned sharply before moving forwards now and releasing a mountain crest kick. The kick worked upwards more to be used to knee someone than to actually kick them. Elle, reacting to this, matched with her own kick... a hook kick that managed to lock the two women's kicks together. Ame's eyes narrowed as she twitched her leg and caused Elle to fall backwards. However, the dark haired girl recovered quickly and managed to twist her form and step sideways rebounding before making a ram punch with her knuckles towards Ame's shoulder. The teal haired woman crossed broth of her arms in a sharp manner blocking ELle's attack and then twisting her arm a bit before forcing the dark haired girl back.

Elle managed to pull her arm lose and was reading another attack. Managing a high jump kick better known as a swallow kick at least to Ame, Elle jumped upwards and was about to finish the kick when the teal haired woman reached up and seized the dark haired girl's leg, twisting it, and throwing her back.

"Dang you're not bad..." Elle panted a bit. Ame looked a tad prideful and smirked.

"Of course," she answered back somewhat smugly. "You're not bad yourself." Suddenly the teal haired woman had moved forwards again as though getting ready to punch Elle. Almost instantly, Ame found her punch stopped. A clear glass-like form appeared stopping the punch and forcing Ame back. The teal haired woman was surprised to say the least of things. This showed much promise indeed.

"What... what was that..." Elle said standing up fully now once more. Ame crossed her arms and smirked a bit.

"So you can pull Glass Illusion," Ame laughed a bit.

"Hu?" Elle asked looking at Ame somewhat confused.

"The only other one I know who can do that is Ohno...." Ame sighed. Elle looked rather confused. The teal haired woman sighed outwards again and shook her head a bit. "It's a defensive trick... where one brings something from their mind into the air... it's not really there, but the other person sees it and feels it as there. It's interesting... you're gonna have to try it more some time... I can't really teach it... Maybe Ohno but...." she shrugged her shoulders. "Anyways, back to work!" she said suddenly making a motion towards Elle.
