"This should be an interesting training session," Takeomi remarked, grabbing a seat in the viewing room of Sanzu's dojo. Hanma walks in with Ran and Rindou.

"Why do you say that?" Takeomi opens up his chips. He shakes the bag before grabbing one, putting it in his mouth.

"Because it's my brother and Lani. He's— how would I put it?———Passionate when it comes to Kenjutsu."

Ran sits in the seat next to him. Tilting his head he watches Sanzu walk into the dojo through the glass window. He was wearing a white keikogi with a black Hakama. His hair was in a high ponytail. A few rose-colored strands hung down by his collarbone. Sanzu's expression was serious, while he stood there taping up his wrist.

"Is he passionate to the point we might have to jump in?" Rindou asked. "Will they be training with real swords today?"

"Absolutely not. They will be using wooden or bamboo swords."

"Oh thank god." Ran Sighs in relief as he sits back in his chair. Nai walks into the room with Kakucho. He was scrolling on his phone looking over some last-minute emails.

"Hey, why are you all here?" Nai says looking at the boys staring at Lani. She'd just walked into the dojo.

"We... uh—-"

Ran's voice trails off when he sees her walking onto the mat barefoot. She had a pink keikogi with a black Hakama, and her curly hair was wrapped in a neat bun on top of her head.

"Good fucking lord." Sanzu thought to himself as he turned around. Even though he saw her damn near every day. Sanzu couldn't help but feel the way he felt the first time he ever laid his eyes on her.

She definitely took Sanzu's breath away, but this was not the time for those thoughts.

With her bamboo sword resting on the left side of her Hakama, Lani walks up to Sanzu.

"Morning Sensei."

She teases bowing at a whole 90-degree angle. He raises an eyebrow surprised at the fact she knew dojo etiquette. He turns to her and bows his head.

"You tryna be funny? Don't fucking call me that!" He smirks walking up to her. They faced opposite of each other, their shoulders almost touching as they stared ahead to avoid making eye contact.

"Why? This is your dojo correct? I'm just paying my respects to it and the master, like I'm supposed to —no?"

"Anyways, I'm not like the rest of them. I'm going to really put you to the test today, I hope you know that."  He says, narrowing his eyes. Sanzu quickly unsheathed his sword, pointing it toward the ground.

"Don't think just because you got a pretty face and a phat ass I'm gonna go easy on you babe."

Lani's hands tightened around the hilt of her sword. She side-eyed him, letting a chuckle slip from her lips.

"Of course, I expect nothing less from you sweetie. Just don't try to kill me." She smirked, biting her lip. She eyed how good he looked in his traditional clothing. Sanzu is definitely in shape, it looks like he hasn't missed a day at the gym. His muscular pecs testify to that, she peeped at the way he had his shirt slightly opened.

"This tension. *sigh* Why is his fine ass always so...Serious?"

Why does his sternness turn me on? I love it when he's like this. It's so fucking sexy.

"What are they whispering about?!" Hanma whines looking over to Takeomi. "This shit is making me anxious. I'm already uncomfortable this lunatic is training her in his domain today."
