[PS] Burter's Dojo

[Yamu]

Jeice meandered without goal through the busy stations that made up the pre-show of Dante?s Abyss, crowds of faces floated past his vision but he did not recognize a single one. He fiddled with the ends of his gloves, pulling the material even tighter around his hands so that he did not look lost, as l as he was doing something he might not look so out of place. The red skinned warrior turned a corner and finally saw something he recognized, a Dojo. The white haired fighter made a direct line for the training rooms, he was comfortable here, relaxed, he knew this kind of place.

He canned the room, seeing the usual group of pathetic todies that he could beat without breaking a sweat. There was one odd thing, all of the men and women were on one side of the Dojo, a large vein covered man and a little girl practicing on a miniature bag occupied an entire half to themselves. Jeice looked closer and saw that three of the fighters had large welts and some gashes they were nursing in the bleachers, all six of their eyes, well the ones that weren?t closed shut at least, shooting daggers at the bald vein covered man.

There was a fight here?the one guy, the girl maybe? no not her, took out those three hard enough that everyone else is scarred to be around them?

Jeice smiled?if he was going to make friends, they might as well be strong ones. He walked over to the lopsided training pair, ?You need to move more.? The large man and the little girl both looked up at him. His red lips curled back in a surprisingly warm smile, he took the same kneeling position as the man and put his hands on the girl?s narrow hips. ?You have to move, you?re to stiff. You look like you are about to take a punch, you have to give that feeling to the other person.? He began to move her hips back and forth the stood up again to make the motion with her. ?Always move in a fight?you stop for a second, boom.?

?That is some good advice, my name is Yamu, you??

?The name?s Jeice. So was it you, or her that gave those three guys their lesson??

The little girl laughed. ?Silly..it was Yamu?I just started. My name is Kari.?

Jeice bowed low and shook her hand with a playful formality. ?Pleased to meet you.?

?So, Jeice, have you been accepted in the Abyss yet??

?Just got my confirmation a little bit ago, but I?m holding off going to the barracks just yet.?

?Same here, why don?t we show my new pupil here how real men fight? Those three over there had bigger mouths the power levels.?

Jeice cracked his neck while he flexed his fists, ?I could use a good workout before the main event. Just don?t expect me to go easy.?

Yamu just laughed as the both walked out into the center of the Dojo.
