Sakura slowly relaxed her stance momentarily to wipe the sweat that had been accumulating at her brow during the spar. During training her aunt never did like to go easy on her, but this was partially due to a request a long time ago. Some would say that is also what helped make Sakura into the fantastic firebender she is today. Sparring though wasn’t just training for them; it was family time. These brief hours of practice were the greatest interactions Sakura usually got to have as her father was busy with politics. Training with her aunt was her favorite time of day due to this as well as escapism from her usually enclosed life.  Today was different though. Sakura was going to be able to go out and see around for once. Even if it wasn’t alone, at least unlike before she wasn’t breaking out and getting into trouble. Yet, at the same time an opportunity has presented itself and wasting a few seconds of roaming the city was well worth the chance.

Sakura quickly reset her stance into an attack on her aunt. [color=ed145b]“Dropped your guard!” [/color]she called out to her aunt as they were family, not enemies, and she didn’t intend to have her aunt be completely defenseless to her fire. It was a series of three kicks to send three bolts of fire at her aunt hoping that because she didn’t guard she would be knocked off balance after protecting herself. After which Sakura would run in and perform a leap into the air to flip around her mother and send a sweeping leg kick directly after. If her aunt hit the floor upon being hit by the kick which she didn’t use fire on as to not hurt her aunt, then Sakura would consider herself the victor. Sakura would easily be smiling the entire time due to the enjoyment no matter what the outcome was.
