Naoto arrives shortly after, holding the bag she keeps her katana in on her shoulder, looking calm per usual, dressing somewhat heavily for Summer, but that's the only way she dresses anyway.

She doesn't say anything, just stands there, letting Xena do her stretching exercises quietly.

"It's nice to meet you in person."

Xena smiled brightly and does a final stretch. Never hurts to be limbered up for a fight, even one that's not serious.

Naoto tugged down the bag and pulled the katana out, nodding to her, but not really saying anything. She grabbed the hilt of her blade and pulled it out of the scabbard.

"Swords, right?"

atoningforsin June 21 2009, 17:38:27 UTC

"Yes, unless you'd rather fight without weapons."

She followed suit, smiling at the sight of her new blade. It was the best she'd ever seen, and she couldn't thank Namor enough for it, ever.

With a shake of her head, Naoto got in a stance, holding the blade in front of her, first taking in Xena's weapon. It seemed heavier to the blades she was used to fighting against, but that didn't make her stagger or anything. Instead, she took a better grip of the hilt with two hands and flexed her knees a bit.

atoningforsin June 21 2009, 17:57:15 UTC

Mm, time to go.

Xena took her own stance, measuring Naoto's for a bit, then lunged forward, swinging her blade in a sideways slice.

nothername June 21 2009, 18:08:28 UTC

With a flick of her wrists, Naoto parried the blade with her own, letting hers slide along Xena's, twirling towards her to move behind her, bringing her sword down to try to strike her side.

atoningforsin June 21 2009, 18:12:39 UTC

She grinned and spun to block, then stepped in close, reaching to punch with her other hand.

nothername June 21 2009, 18:17:38 UTC

The problem with using both hands to wield a sword was, sometimes, it delayed her reaction, and so she took the punch, but kept in place, swinging her leg up to kick her off of her, aiming a kick to the stomach.

atoningforsin June 21 2009, 18:24:09 UTC

Oh, nice. Xena liked this girl.

She raised a knee to fend off the kick, and flipped backwards, turning the landing into a leg sweep.

Whether or not Naoto was hit, it'd give her time to create some distance for sword-swinging.

nothername June 21 2009, 18:29:06 UTC

Naoto herself was pretty confident in her fighting style. That, and she was incredibly acrobatic, so when the leg sweep came, she jumped backwards, holding the sword in front of her body in a countering stance.

She lunged again as soon as she was upright, feinting to the left this time, then reversing the movement to let the sword tip dive in to the right.

nothername June 21 2009, 21:38:08 UTC

Seeing through the attack, Naoto quickly dropped her arms to firmly block the sword with an uprising swing, twirling to kick Xena away from her and then lunging forward, pointing the katana's tip at the neck this time.

atoningforsin June 21 2009, 21:47:09 UTC

She regained her balance quickly after the kick, and sidestepped the katana towards the throat, sliding her own blade along it to keep the strike from turning into a swipe.

Now forced to push her blade against Xena's, Naoto's mind raced for a tactic. While she was strong, her forte wasn't strength but agility and she was sure that in terms of physical force, she had little chance against the warrior in front of her.

So with a small, quiet noise of effort, Naoto took a risk. She stopped pushing, completely letting go of the strength in her arms, trying to sidestep out of the way while going with an elbow to Xena's ribs.

asdfasdf I'm sorry I meant to reply to this yesterday atoningforsin June 25 2009, 17:46:47 UTC

"Oof!" The elbow hit, but she didn't stumble much, and did manage to angle her blade away so as not to actually harm either of them. It wouldn't do to seriously injure such a fun opponent, after all.

As she turned the stumble into a sidestep of her own, she whipped out a long leg in a kick at the girl's knees.
