Anutsaka, deciding he needs practice, enters Zalgar's Dojo to train. Instead, he finds two men fighting. One of them with white hair, who looked slightly evil and one dressed in traditional Japanese samurai clothing - obviously Zalgar.
Seeing their fight seemed practice itself as Anutsaka sat down and concentrated on their fight.

((Seems we have an observer. I must say though, that I am tired of always charging... It makes it slightly unfair, and I tend to view it as a type of powerplaying myself...))
Tensuo charges once again, but slides in low, kicking out one of Zalgar's feet with his own, trying to send him off balance. He then swipes upwards with his blade, hoping to strike him in the chest as he falls from the kick.

((I'll take the offensive then, sorry. It's just how I fight in real life.))
Anutsaka
A duplicate of myself appears behind Anutsaka.
"Would you like to continue to observe the fight, or would you prefer to fight me instead?"
Tensuo
I jump to the side and pull my blade across the ground, its tip mere millimeters away from the surface, in an upward arc.

((I too am defensive in real life, but I change that when RPing to give others a chance.))
Tensuo sees his movement almost too late. He is very fast. In the last possible moment he changes the trajectory of his blade, cutting the tip into the ground itself, then pushing down just before Zalgar's blade strikes. A crack is sent through the ground as Tensuo's arms take the force of his strike.
Strong too...
Tensuo slowly lifts his blade out of the ground as they both push, trying to send the other back and break their guard for a follow up strike. Tensuo is extremely strong himself, but does not know why he cannot overpower this man.
"You've got... a bit of.. power there..."

I smile sardonically.
"There is a reason I am bound to this dojo."
I sidestep and whip my blade back, hoping that the momentum of Tensuo's attack will carry the blade past me in an ineffectual slash. Whiping my own blade over my shoulder with one hand, I slash at his neck.

"Yes, I would to participate in combat. My skills have not been... real, shall we say?
However, I do not wish to spar with swords. Can we perhaps practice with targets? Perhaps, moving targets? My bow is my greatest asset and that needs to be sharpened before my sword."
Anutsaka readies his bow, but also shows Zalgar his Skysteel sword - a sword made of an indestructable metal of the Gods.

Tensuo's force carries him forward, but just before he falls, he pushes off with his right foot, but with a twist to the push. He spins to the right, just in time to see a blade slash by him, a spurt of his black blood following Zalgar's blade as it cut into his shoulder just below the armor. Tensuo was determined however. In the same motion as he fell, he too spun around and slashed out with his blade, aiming at the only thing he could hit; Zalgar's arm.

Tensuo
The maneuver is masterfully executed, and I know that I cannot totally protect my arm. I pull back and flip my blade in the air, accepting a large gash upon my arm. Catching the sword with my other hand, I thrust it down at Tensuo's forehead, pulling my injured arm backwards.
Anutsaka
"Any practice you want to undergo is fine with me. I will create a battlefield to your liking, dampen any combination of powers you wish, and, if desired, create an opponent for you or fight you myself, using whatever weapons you so desire."

Tensuo lands face up on his back, a flash of metal coming at him. Tensuo quickly brings his sword up, but hits Zalgar's blade after it had already passed. The two blades slide by eachother as Zalgar lunges, sparks shearing off and showering over Tensuo as he lay there. The blade cuts into Tensuo's cheek instead, sticking into the floor becide his head. Tensuo quickly places his hands on the ground, pushes off with one foot, and flips himself backwards while at the same time kicking with his other foot, hoping to hit Zalgar in the jaw.
(This is getting really good. I have not had a duel this good for quite some time.)

((I am also enjoying it. It's good.))
I drop down, out of the way of the kick, supporting myself with my good arm and releasing my hold on my sword. As Tensuo flips around and his back it turned towards me, I kick outwards and attempt to knock him across the room. Assuming this works, I push up with my arms and recover my blade.

Another Zalgar appears besides the newcomer.
"How may I help you?"

Anutsaka quickly thinks about, envisioning it in his head and then speaking.
"Hmm... perhaps a open field in dark conditions, perhaps twilight, tending towards darkness. And also, it would be nice if we sparred. A little bow-to-bow action and then sword practice on foot in an open field. Perhaps, after that we can think of something else. How does that sound?"

"Look around you."
I say as the field Anutsaka had envisioned appears and engulfs us.

As I walk into the dojo I notice my weapons disappear, my powers seem to disipate and I crouch into a defensive stance.
"I understand this is a dojo, I wish to train, and hone my skills."
