[@Kitsune] "Sorry but I did say to prepare yourself." Sotaro said as he jumped over the whip like horin that came a him, but he made a mistake. he took his eyes off her, so when he focused his attention back on her his eye had a shocked expression as he brought up his arm to guard the bokken. So when it connected with his arm with a loud thwack sound, he twitched a bit as he jumped back looking at the red mark it left. [color=0072bc]"Your right it does hurt."[/color] He stated as he again held his bokken in front of him, but this time was a normal charge, in which he would jab the bokken at her instead of a slash. It would take less effort for her to hit him, as it would take his attacks longer, so he had to somehow shorten the time between his attacks.
