Training With My Friend (Orihime)

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana shook her head a little, she saw nothing wrong with apologising to someone, so long as you know what you're saying sorry for otherwise what was the point in saying sorry at all. It was good though to see Orihime focussing and paying attention, how many times could Ana bring her guard down in this fight? How many times would she have Orihime saying sorry... maybe she should start counting them all. A small smirk formed on her face before she went at Orihime, told her off and let her get up before she went to attack.

Ana noticed the shield though had little time to form her own so her leg touched the shield before kicking off it going backwards from the explosion causing Ana's hair to go everywhere and her to jump a few times before forming a shield around herself to protect herself from the after wave. "Well done Orihime, that's one for you" she said smiling a little before her eyes narrowed down and Ana spun around throwing her left hand out followed by her right shooting two small blue shields at Orihime and ran towards her though went wide to appear behind her

While her shields had no intention of hitting Orihime it simply looked as such, when they got within a certain distance of someone they exploded only just before they, if Orihime was unable to protect herself or stop the attack they'd explode near her face and right arm. Though they would not hurt her it was enough to sometimes knock someone backwards or disorinate someone for a bit. Ana of course went to make her way around Orihime from behind keeping a wide enough gap to see what Orihime did and how she reacted when Ana sent out a flat shield towards Orihime's back making sure it was not too fast nor too powerful, it had very little evergy in it and while she told Orihime she was not going to hold back she was infact doing that, she couldn't have either of them passing out too early in this training now... they'd both look a bit stupid.

[Inoue Orihime]

Ortihime widened her eyes seeing Ana's leg touch her shield and it immediatly exploded outwards blowing Orihime's hair right back for a while as she sheilded her face from the blast just a reaction before the dust settled she looked in front to see if Ana as ok she let her sheild down and went to call out to her but no! she was still trainning she couldnt lose game not now that she had told herself she'd be strong for once.

However she noticed Ana had survived it and congratulated her on it she smiled gentle before she quickly frowned again. It was then that she saw the two sheilds Ana made up heading towards her and she instantly formed her defensive sheild at the ready before she relised Ana was running out wide towards the back of her Orihime changed her footing to keep her body facing Ana and never behind. But she wasnt sure if she should moe her sheild in place so she watched and observed her.

She looked back to see the two sheilds she original set up hit her sheild with some explosions she held her head and covered her ears from the noise before she saw her sheild held it up before it cracked a little! she suddenly forgot Ana was behind her and she turned sharply and just in time because another sheild was coming her way but she did not know what to do so she did what came natural and that was to move out the way it caught her shoulder a little making her tumble and almost fall but she stayed up right at least she panted a little from the sudden shock and she held her clipped shoulder a little blood nothing much but she was smiling as she looked up towards Ana.

Orihime was then thinking about using Tsubaki hert attacking flower but she knew she'd need a great deal of will power and determination to use him or he'd shatter intp pieces.

Ana hadn't even noticed the cut that had appeared on her leg from the blast, she had been more focussed on avoiding it and protecting herself rather than worry about a wound she had, wounds could always be fixed, they'd heal in time, if you lost focuss because of a wound though then you were as good as dead.

While Ana noticed Orihime following her movements though staying on the spot Ana smirked to herself and kept running, she heard the blast of her shields though ignored it as she stood her distance behind Orihime and sent out her 3rd shield. Thankfully her friend did notice it and did dodge it though Ana noticed the blood coming from Orihime's shoulder, well it didn't look too bad, if it got worse though she'd call half time... well something like that. She didn't want her friend bleeding to death. Though Ana couldn't help but smile, a point to her... not that winning mattered, training, getting stronger, that mattered.

Ana clenched her fists wondering if she could get close to Orihime again or if they would keep fighting at a distance which was no problem, it would make their spiritual power stronger, the more they practiced the more they could learn from it and one another. Ana however smirked and started running at Orihime her hands out behind her sending her energy to them, at the last minute she'd form a shield around both before attacking Orihime... or attempting to attack her. She had to wonder did Orihime always have to be in one spot though to use her powers... if so, that could be a problem. But she'd try help with that if she could if it was a problem.

[Inoue Orihime]

Orihime herself had noticed she had cut Ana if she had she'd feel guilty but no she had to focus so it was a good job she didnt notice really! If she ever did hit her opponants she always had a look of regret on her face as if she questioned if she should of done that. But at any time she had attacked someone it had been out of her being pushed too much she was kind and gentle she never lashed out at anyone she had one done so on three occasions. She had acted out in defence of Tatsuki her best friend the other was to protect Ichigo she had used her attacking flower and she slapped Ulquiorra when he talked badly about her friends it was the only times she ever showed some kind of aggression all 3 occasions being because of her friends and now she was battling one of her friends Ana.

She knew what she had to do though, she knew she had to imagine herself in the worse possible. She focused on Ana's movemts following her with her eyes which had been why she just about managed to dodge Ana's sheild with just a small inury to her shoulder. ''Santen Kesshun'' she said and another sheild appeared over her shoulder and it reversed what had happened to her shoulder making it appeared healed up. She smiled a little but then looked for Ana seeing what looked like she was going to attack but didnt but no then she saw the energy coming towards her Orihime waved her hands in front of her, her sheild there to block it but on contact her sheild shattered with ease. ''Ahh!!'' Orihime gasped as she had to jump back her defence now down.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana was constantly training, all the time, every day after school she went to the Dojo both for her classes in martial arts and to train herself though normally she came to Urahara’s basement for personal training, it was the safest place for it in her mind. Of course Ana was willing to help her friends with their own training and she wanted to start with Orihime, while her friend was strong she knew that everyone worried about her in battle and she would love to see Orihime step it up a bit and prove to everyone they didn’t have to worry about her anymore, that she could do it, that she could step it up.

Ana knew this was not going to be easy, it had not been easy for Ana when she started out, when she was younger and did her training, when she hit someone she would feel guilty about it but she pushed through it and was now able to do what she had to do. After her parents death she told herself she’d get stronger, she’d take the responsibility of protecting her family and being strong for them so they wouldn’t have to worry about the things she did, it gave her that extra push.

She spotted Orihime’s eye drift, she knew it was easy to do, to take an eye off an enemy she sometimes still did it, focussing on the enemy alone was hard enough let alone attacking and dodging. Ana ran forwards, the shields around her fists contacted with the shield, the blast sending Ana backwards as she slid across the ground on her feet before looking up and smiled. She could take Orihime out if she wanted to, she said she wouldn’t hold back but she was, she wasn’t going to make it easy, she needed to push Orihime the best way she could.

Ana ran forwards and swung her leg towards Orihime’s hoping she’d dodge it. Ana even thought about tying Ichigo up in the middle of the room and having Orihime try get to him… it seemed like a good idea to her, Ichigo was one of Orihime’s biggest weaknesses she knew that and she knew Ichigo was protective over Orihime as he was with them all. Of course if Ana really was evil she wouldn’t be taking Orihime as a prisoner to get to Ichigo as she wouldn’t take Ichigo as a prisoner to get to Orihime, she’d simply kill them. But she wasn’t evil and she wouldn’t kill her friends, she’d simply help them the way she knew how.

[Inoue Orihime]

It would of been comforting to know that Ana too had been in her shoes once before she sometimes wondered if she was abnormal but she wasnt she was just human she wasnt like these dead creatures like hollows who felt nothing which enabled them to be so brutal towards other beings without reguard for who they hurt she very much still had all that and more. But she could use being human to her advantage use the fact that seeing her friends in danger could anger her.

She so wanted to do this, be up there with Ichigo and the others everyone seemed so strong, she looked at how far Ichigo had come from being just an ordinary human to becoming this powerhouse she wanted to be able to fight with them all not watch them in hopes no enemy would attack her. She had quickly noticed how much Ana had grown in strength her sheilds seemed faster had she been trainning up herself perhaps?

She was very much effected by seeing or hearing how someone was harmed it was what Ulquiorra had done to her once telling her that Ichigo was dead that he'd never come and save her and that her friends didnt care and it caused anger to erupt from her she silenced him with a slap and physical gesture for the sake of her friends. Orihime's arm wound was fixed up and she had to watched Ana's next move because her leg was heading towards her fast. Orihime widened her eyes as she leaned as far back as she could to try and miss the hit she even jumped back getting distance from Ana. She breathed quicker before she settled down and then looked at Ana again.

[Shoshi Ana]

Ana was glad Orihime was able to dodge her attack she’d hate to hurt her friend but she knew in training things got rough, she knew people got hurt and she had to help make Orihime stronger as Ana would get stronger too. She didn’t mind being the bad guy if it meant helping a friend. She just didn’t want to hurt any of them or rather not hurt them too much. She had to admit Orihime was doing great so far and she was glad Orihime had healed herself and not let the wound bother her but if she was unable to heal herself how would Orihime deal with having a wound and continue to fight at the same time. She didn’t see Orihime do much fighting and that was not such a bad thing.

Ana however wasn’t going to stop there, she needed to push Orihime, she wanted to get stronger so that’s what Ana was going to do, she needed Orihime to get angry and worried, she needed her to feel the emotions to drive her to do what had to be done, to push her and make her stronger. “You’re becoming slow Orihime” Ana said and frowned a little “Are you getting tired on me?” she asked, they could take a break if needed as she didn’t want to push Orihime too far, not first time. As they would go on, as more training sessions were held if Orihime still wanted to do them after this then Ana would knuckle down on breaks, she’d make Orihime keep fitting no matter how exhausted she was.

Ana jumped up and went to kick Orihime again heading towards her, her other leg tucked up and her arms near her body to allow for more speed though she didn’t form a shield she wanted to see what Orihime could do, she wanted to see if she could do what she had to do.

[Inoue Orihime]

Orihime recovered her positioning and straightened up she breathed a couple of fast breaths before she frowned and concentrated. That had been a close one if she wasnt careful Ana really could cause her some damage and not enough time to heal it up either. But she knew she wasnt stupid, she knew that all this was to push her limits further than she thought she could ever go she just needed to beleive in herself.

Orihime watched Ana upon hearing her ask if she was tiring, yeah she was she could feel her muscles ache a little but it was probably because she was using her physical strength now more than ever. She frowned a little ''Maybe later...i could do with one...'' she began as she raised her hand seeing Ana going in for a kick she could maybe put all her martial arts she had learned from Tatsuki to good use but it had been a couple of years since she had learned that, out of practice maybe? Orihime shook her head back to the reality of Ana and made a swipe across herself ''Ayame!'' Orihime commanded as her sheild flew out at Ana and then exploded outwards.

(ooc: sorry i took so long Ana!)

[Shoshi Ana]

The blast sent Ana backwards as she hit the ground with her back gasping for air before she quickly placed her hands behind her head and flip kicked herself back to her feet taking in a few deep breaths, that hurt but it was ok. She needed Orihime one to notice she was not hurt because she couldn’t let Orihime feel guilty and put her guard down and two she needed Orihime to continue to be strong so Ana would hide the pain shooting through her shoulder blades and upper back for the moment. She couldn’t just stop because she was hurt, it was not her style at all.

Though she realised Orihime would need a break sooner than later “Your attacks are good Orihime” Ana said walking over to her “They could be better though, but then again so could mine” she said smiling to her. She would give Orihime the credit for being stronger but take away her power and what did she have, she knew once Orihime could do martial arts, Ana taught the subject maybe she could help Orihime pick it up again but then again when would her friend use it, a friend so afraid of hurting anyone really. Of course Ana walked forwards in the hopes to bring Orihime’s guard down, as if making it seem like they were going to have a break though should Orihime fall for it Ana if she got close enough would simply grab Orihime and lock her arm behind her and then give her a lecture for sure as she did.


ooc --- that’s ok I figured you were busy ^_^

[Inoue Orihime]

Orihime's eyes widened seeing Ana fly back through the air she had the urge to call out if she was alright but she stopped herself and just stood back watching before she spotted Ana flip and land on her feet. She stared towards Ana for a moment before she opened her mouth going to speak before Ana had spoke up before her about her attacks being good or at least better so she hoped.

''Uh...'' she began an almost worried look on her face before she frowned and nodded. She agreed she could be better oon the whole be more on her offensive side perhaps. She had never been aggresive or had anger in her but she watched how Ana or Ichigo or any of her friends for that matter use it to their advantage to kill their enemy and quickly before they harmed others. ''Ok...i'll try harder'' Orihime breathed out as she lowered her sheild and her arm by her sides as Ana approched her seeming like they would take a break right about but before she knew it Ana grabbed her arm and twisted it she let out a gasped ''A-ana-chan!'' she breathed in shocked.

(ooc: yeah sorry bout my absence ive been given lots of overtime at work ^^;)
