{CLASS} iS In :::session

[Arai]

He missed... He had a gut feeling that that was going to happen. It wasn't only for that fact that he wouldn't be much of a teacher if he was taken down so easily, but it was just that feeling he had. What that feeling was exactly he didn't know. Everyone else would call it spirit awareness finally kicking in.

The slide kicked up dirt in the air, and even more when the gray demon tried to start running before he stopped moving one direction. He weaved a bit as he regained his balance and went for another attack on Yusuke.

He didn't slow down when Yusuke pretended to fire the Spirit Gun. In fact, he didn't looked phased by it at all. It would be amazing if he thought it was just a bluff. But that wasn't true at all. He just completely ignored it. Just like his fight with Miyu he would have ran right into the ball of energy and kept going if he thought it was necessary. That was, if he lived through it.

This was how Arai fought. Full out offense, no defense (I don't even think he knows the definition of that word let alone how to do it), and no tactical maneuvers. All Arai really had was speed and the strength to make a killing blow on those weaker than him.

When Miyu went under, Arai decided to go over. His over active muscles easily carried him into the air and at least, temporarily over Yusuke.

[Yusuke]

Ahh...they were getting a little smarter now. Too bad they didn't start out that way. Time to spice this pepper up!

A smirk grew on the Maziku demon's face with every inch the girl's fist gained. Her perfect aim was intercepted though, Yusuke catching it without much effort.

His eyes narrowed, "Left yourself open." Then, in a flash, up came his knee right for her stomach. Not hard, or anything he didn't expect her to recover from in a moment or two. Just enough to stun her for the time being. He used the upward force of that, in addition to his hold on her fist and grabbing her shirt with his free hand, to throw her airborne and in a direct collision course with the attacking Arai.

[/size]

[Miyu]

"Left yourelf open" She heard after he grabbed her fist. She had been planing to try and get a good solid kick in since she was already there and he was paying attention to her fist. But then his knee made contact with her stomach and that pla nwas instantly derailed.

The air left her for that moment and all she could do was be helplessly thrown toward Arai while she tried to recover fast.

[Arai]

That changed a few things. Every movement he had halted as he watched as if in slow motion Miyu flail through the air. He took his momentum from his attack to catch her.

His claws dug into the branch of the tree as he hung their, holding Miyu easily with one arm. As if he was part primate his toes also gripped the trunk of the tree. A loud his emitted from his throat as he glared back down to the man that had just hurt Miyu. It may not have been much, but it was enough to set off his temper.

Arai dropped to the ground and gently sat her on the ground. Not once did his solid black eyes leave Yusuke. His grimace was filled with jagged teeth, the expression wasn't at all what he had when this started. In a matter of moments he took this training session as a personal encounter.

Again, his toes dug into the soft earth as he lept over Miyu and came running straight for Yusuke, this time much faster then before. Yusuke could see his every move, but others can only see him for brief moments as he charged.

[Yusuke]

Ha, bingo. That had come together rather awesomely if he did say so himself. Yusuke turned and watched them fly, standing boredly with his hands on his hips as he waited for them to get themselves together. And oh, would you take a look at Creepy other there.

He didn't look too happy at all, snarling like a pitbull. "D*mn it, Curious George, how many times have I told you to stop drinking the stuff beneath the sink?" He lifted his head slightly, a soft frown gracing his features. Well, somebody had a temper problem. This might be fun if he managed to stay in control.

He waited until Arai was right on him then sprang back, anticipating the gray demon to follow as he coiled back a fist. He landed in a crouch, sliding on the balls of his feet from the momentum with one hand on the ground, then lunged upward, going for an uppercut to Arai's jaw that would combine what force Yusuke put behind his punch along with the gray demon's momentum. He wasn't going as fast as he could've, testing to see if Miyu's little friend could be defensive as well and block, or, better yet, dodge Yusuke's fist. Life was a learning experience, eh?

[Miyu]

Miyu cursed lightly as she gained the ability to move her body. That was bad. She knew from the way that Arai hissed that he was taking it as if Yusuke was actually trying to harm her and now he was angry.

She got up and shook her limbs out to get the to move more quickly. Then she raced to try and catch up. There was no way she was going to be able to stop Arai before he got to Yusuke and having fought Arai before she knew he wasn't going to be smart about that. So since she at the moment was trusting Yusuke not to actually hurt them to seriously she instead decide to use this to her advantage.

To someone like Yusuke the energy being concentrated in her fist would be a glowing becon. Hopefully though he was to caught up in Arai's direct attack to care. she ran in after the two trying to be discreat and waiting for what happened to Arai before she made her move.

[Arai]

He hurt Miyu. Arai didn't exactly get what was going on. He didn't understand why they were attacking the person that was suppose to be training them, but Miyu thought it was right... But it also got her hurt. No one was going to hurt Miyu. Especially right in front of him.

With no change in speed Arai continued after the fleeting Yusuke. He didn't hint to any knowledge of the pending the attack. Even when it became apparent he didn't change his corse. There was a loud thwak and the gray demon soared backward. While in the air he righted himself to land on his feet. Right when his feet touched he charged again even faster.

[Yusuke]

Yusuke rolled his eyes. Just get him a spanish outfit and a red blanket, then tie some horns to Arai's head, and this scene would be complete. The once-human waited until the last moment this time, wanting to see if Arai was at least going to change it up instead of just bolting in. Because...you know...THAT was working.

Yusuke caught his fist or foot or whatever, "You're boring me!" He snapped, ready to dodge Arai's likely next attack since they were still close range. "If all you do is charge in like a freaking mad man you're going to get killed. And there Miyu will be all by herself - some partner you are." He sent a flying kick to his flank, hopefully to send the gray demon reeling out of the way.

And there was Miyu. Yusuke stood still and waited, intending to take her attack head on.

[/size]

[Miyu]

Miyu glowered at Yusuke's insult to Arai. She also watched as her friend went flying backward and winced as she continued to sprint towards their new teacher.

She was It was then that she got a brilliant idea. Her energy kept its focus around her hands and she ran toward him getting her fist ready for a punch. Instead of throwing said punch however she went in to a baseball slide heading right for his feet.

[Arai]

Arai charged for Yusuke. The bruising on his jaw was the last thing on the demons mind. In fact, it didn't look like it bothered him one bit. Now that his adrenaline was pumping nothing would cause him to stop fighting. No pain was going to bother him, at least for now.

He gave a snarl as he struggled to get his hand away from the opponent. Claws was his main attack so his other set tried to claw at him. Then again he was sent flying. Just as before he landed back on his feet. However, this time he didn't charge back at him. On all fours he snarled back at the comment. Some partner he was... He was going to prove that was wrong.

His eyes shifted over to Miyu, not that anything but his eyelids could show that. He had to get her attack to go through... The creation stayed in his feral position for a few long moments before making another attack on Yusuke. He had to get his attention on him.

Arai ran straight for Yusuke, but at the last moment jumped over him to attack from the opposite side.

[Yusuke]

What was his name? Arnold? Somebody wasn't being a good student. Did Yusuke not JUST get it out of his mouth for him not to do that? And yet here he came, freakin' loonatic.

However, Arai's effort to change it up (or, well, at least jumping over Yusuke so he wasn't rushing him like an billy goat again) didn't do too much for his mood. Arai was coming on one side, and here Miyu came from another. She had a certain spark in her eye; apparently she'd thought of something clever to pull this time. It was a something that just might've worked too if they would've pulled this manuever about three moves ago.

Too bad an aggravated Yusuke was just such a sad, meanie-pooh crusher of dreams, eh?

"Alright, I've seen enough." He lowered and shot up his arms, energy sending a strong gust of wind that kicked up an instand cloud of dirt and leaves and would send the two of them flying back in opposite directions. "Have a seat, brats." He growled as he placed his hands on his hips, "I've come to my conclusion." Dun dun duun! Brace yourselves, my good people. Not many could survive the insane degree of genius that was about to spew out of this all-knowing demon's face.

He pointed at Miyu. "You have just enough skill to p*ss somebody off and you," He moved his finger to Arai, "straight up suck." Brilliant, eh? But before they had the chance to start whining about it he continued, "You guys have decient speed and can work around each other pretty well, I'll give you that. But it took you a few seconds too long to get warmed up, Miyu, and simply put, you just don't have the strength or experience to lock horns with a B class demon." Aka, one class above her, a threat she should be making at least somewhat of a challenge for as far as Yusuke was conscerned. He remembered back when he and his guys were all about B class at best, back when they were staring down the Toguro brothers in the Dark Tournament. That had been some pretty intense crap, needless to say. "These are the guys you ought to be stepping up to right about now. They won't cut you any slack, or ignore the openings you leave in your defenses when you're attacking." Aw, well, she wasn't bad. Still though, hint hint. "And speaking of crap defenses," He turned his chew-out session to Arai, "What the hell were you even doing? Playing tag? You're like a freakin' p*ssed off toddler who was just trying to hit and scratch somebody to get back his toy; that's NOT martial arts."

Yusuke's words were harsh. But his critisizm was constructive. Miyu would be going up against the most cut-throat fighters this life had to offer - and...you know...he really didn't want to hear that this little punk had been mutilated one day. Besides, Yusuke's bluntness was something they, like everyone else who'd ever had to hang around him for long periods of time, would have to get used to.

Yusuke paused, a faint smirk making its way to his face. "But...the good news is...you're not hopeless." Ah, there's our faint spark of praise. Truth was, they really weren't all that bad for their class. Er, Miyu anyway. Yusuke was still trying to figure out whether or not Arai even had a clue what he was there for. But Yusuke wasn't one for cutting any slack, and neither was Genkai. These two defenders had a hard road ahead of them but after their little spar, Yusuke felt better about Miyu's potential in this game. Even though he, of course, would never admit it.

[/size]

[Miyu]

Miyu was half way in to her slide when the energy knocked them back. She held in a yelp of surprise and tucked her legs in so she wouldn't snap her ankle.... that was just what she would need to happen right then...... Not only would it be counter productive but it would be humiliating.

She sighed and was going to stay down but remembered something. quickly the girl got up and tackled Arai to make him stay down. If she didn't stop him he would just keep going she knew him well enough to know that. It took quite a bit of effort but she got him to calm eventually so they could both listen to Yusuke criticize them.

She listened to him tell her that she couldn't handle a fight with a B class demon and felt her temper rise slightly because she hated it when people told her things she already knew it was such a waste of time.

"Why do you think We're here? If I thought I could handle myself with stronger demons than the ones I've been fighting then I would have told Koenma to shut up and go away."

[Arai]

The buffeting wind didn't stop him for long. He was like tumbleweed till the wind died away. For a moment he slid across the ground grinding his shoulder into the dirt till he could push himself into the air and landing on his feet. So much for that shirt staying clean. Arai still slid till he came to a halt. Then just like Miyu thought he would, he charged for another attack.

However, he didn't get his hands. What was she doing? He slowed his attack down enough till he was suddenly tackled to the ground. Without one complaint he stayed on the ground. For the longest time he stared at Miyu confused, that didn't mean he wasn't listening. It wasn't till Yusuke's conversation turned to him that he turned to look.

Now... What did he say? There were a bunch of those sentence words that mean a lot and nothing at the same time, a bunch of words that he probably should know but had no idea about, and hit and scratch. That at least he knew. but with the words he had... Nothing made sense.

"Miyu... Arai does not get it" He tried to use words that he learned in the past few weeks. But even that wasn't very comfortable for him yet.

[Yusuke]

OOC:// Aww! *cuddles Arai and runs away with him*

"Alright, alright, don't get all defencive on me." Yusuke said as he held up his hands in mock surrender. "Just gotta' make sure we're on the same page as far as specifics go."

"And now that I've got a better idea of what you're all about, we're going to take a little class field trip." He turned, "Try to keep up, 'kay?" And sprinted of through the woods.

OOC:// Short for my liking, though, I have my idea

[Miyu]

Miyu waited for Yusuke to stop talking so that she could explain. Unfortunately as soon as he finished talking he took off and told them to keep up.

"Damn it!" She yelled, voice dripping frustration. "I'll explain on the way Arai ok... come on"

And she started to run.
