"Good morning Sayuri! You are looking.. lively.. today." Sora said, seeing the slouching Sayuri walking into the training area behind the estate.

"Yeah, i couldn't sleep much last night. I had stuff to do, and that took up most of my time." She yawned, and Sora just chuckled. "I wont let that get in the way of training though!"

"Good, you'll need as much energy as you can get for today." Sora said, grabbing two wooden swords. "This may be a stretch, but i want to see how much skill you have with a sword before i start training you completely."

Sayuri nodded, catching one of the swords Sora tossed. Sora took off her haori, setting it down on the deck.

"So, you're going to go easy on me, right?" Sayuri asked nervously, and Sora chuckled.

"Sure. But you have to promise to give it your all!" She smiled, getting into position. Sayuri nodded again, doing the same.

Sayuri made the first move, putting Sora on defence. She swung for her arm, and Sora blocked it. Sora made a counter attack, Sayuri just dodging it by a hair.

That went on for a while, the two of them exchanging swings at each other. Sayuri was able to land a couple hits on Sora, but she got hit more. Luckily Sora wasn't using much strength just yet, so she only had minor bruises by the end of training.

"That was.. fun!" Sayuri panted, dropping her wooden sword and placing her hands on her knees to catch her breath.

"You definitely have much potential!" Sora smiled, putting her haori back on. She noticed Koi was watching through the door, and she waved. He waved back with a smile, disappearing a second later.

Sora grabbed the medical kit, bringing it over to Sayuri.

"I wonder, could I possibly see you and one of the other Hashira train together? Like with real swords and stuff?" Sayuri asked, sitting down so Sora could help with the small cut she had.

"I could ask Sanemi! Though, he is a bit of an aggressive sparring partner. If not i could just ask Kanroji." Sora said, putting a bandage over her cut. "Did i teach you anything about total concentration yet?"

"No, not that i can remember.. i do think you wrote down for me to do breathing exercises with dad though."

"Ah, right! This helps out a bunch. We can work on that tomorrow, but i want to go talk to Sanemi to see if he can spar with me." Sora said, getting up and walking towards the gate. "Ill talk to you later, 'Yuri!"

-

"Sanemi?" Sora called out, wandering around the forest where Giyu had told her he would be. "Oh, there you are! I need to talk to you!"

Sanemi turned his head towards the girl, and before he could walk away Sora was already in front of him.

"What do you want now."

"You don't have to be so rude! I just wanted to know if you wanted to train with me?" Sora asked, and he shrugged. "Oh come on, we can use our swords and everything!"

"Fine." He sighed, and Sora smiled. "I have free time now, if you want."

"Perfect, follow me!" Sora said, grabbing his hand and dragging him. She dragged him all the way back to her estate, before he was able to take his hand back. "You good?"

"Yeah. I like your new place, i guess." He said, looking at the rainbow estate. She smiled, thanking him.

"Sora, you're back!" Sayuri called, peaking her head over the fencing. Sora waved to her, and Sayuri looked at Sanemi. "Thats a lot of scars.." she mumbled, counting all of them.
