Bakusa was busy on the wooden post outside, as he continued to punch it over and over, switching back and forth between his left and right. "99,998..." He continued to count, as he threw another swift punch. "99,999..." He threw out another one. He took in a deep breath, as he was about to reach his halfway point when Asuka had suddenly burst through gate door, an unconscious Kiro being carried on her back. Bakusa could hear Kiro's uneven breaths, and he could easily smell the stench of a fight. At least, that's how he'd word it. '[i]Kid must have lost another fight. It's a darn shame, I thought he would have learned a thing or two from Asuka.[/i]' He smirked. '[i]Or at least my tips![/i]' He laughed, as he continued on with his training. Asuka would handle things. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The techniques [u]she[/u] taught him, huh?" Muhai gave a hearty laugh, as he entered the room. "[u]Shin[/u] helped too? I see, I see." He gave a wide smile to the group. Kiro immediately shot up after the punch to the head, as tears streamed down from his face. "What did you do that for, you jerk!?" Kiro screamed at Shin, as he gently rubbed his bump. "Wait," Kiro carefully looked around, as he noticed he was back in the dojo. "How did I get back here?" Muhai wrapped his arms around the two masters. It seemed friendly enough, but it seemed like he was squeezing just a bit too hard. "It looks as if you've beaten your enemy, Kiro!" He congratulated the boy on his victory. "They must have given him some pretty good tips, huh, Ally? He couldn't even touch the bully a few weeks ago, if I recall correctly." He pushed, his smile still wide, as he hugged the two just a bit uncomfortably tighter. Quite uncomfortably.
