Kausmi walks in to were Shin told her to go. She has on a black tank top with black pants that light fabric that are bell bottoms. Her hair is down this time as she looks around with her bright green eyes. At last she will start to know how to fight she smiles to herself. She wonders what she is going to find out. She rolls her solders as she puts her arms over her head. It was still some what early but she does not mind. She is use to things like that.

Kasumi feels her heart beating some what fast. She hopes that she will not hurt herself but she thinks that Shin will not let that happen to her. She soon smiles form the snow day, that was fun. Kasumi nods to herself she knows that he will not. Shin is so nice to help her with this. Kasumi wonders why she is so hyper over this, She smiles as she can not wate to get to start this. She has never got trained in anything like this in her life.

She looks over the room that they are going to train in the Danger Room. To her it looks like a normal room nothing seems to have anything dangerous in there. Yet she knows that looks can be wrong. She keeps her green eyes on the room as she looks at it more trying to find anything about it. She will not touch or play with anything here. Kasumi is not one to do things like that, She smiles she can wate and be all clam over this. She pulls her hair behind her ear as she leans on the wall and wates.

First rule of secret training session: Don’t talk about secret training session. It’s a secret. Red duffel bag slung over his shoulder, Shin approached the Danger Room whistling a little tune by the name of Saria’s song. He stepped in, glanced over at Kasumi, and dumped out the contents of the bag without preamble, sorting through the sea of gloves and padded helmets for something her size.

“Here,” he tossed her a pair of blue boxing gloves, and went to get her a matching helmet. His slim-fit blue jeans showed knee through a tear as he crouched, and the tail of his red coat hung slightly over his back. The collar was popped. Beneath that, he wore a black t-shirt with the words ‘Cranberry Chocolate Sundae’ spelled out under a splatter of red ink. The ink was a part of the shirt’s design, too. A pair of yellow sunglasses perched on Shin’s nose. His hair was curled to the heavens, completing the costume. He was the spitting image of Travis Touchdown (if only Travis Touchdown were Japanese). Pulling off the shades with a flick of one hand, he shook his hair to smile at her.

“Hey.” If teeth could glint, his did.

A blue padded helmet flew through the air to land in her hands with the gloves. Shirking the red coat off one shoulder, he bent down to grab his own pair of gloves. “Boxing is a sport where protection is important, Kasumi. Put those on, and—” He looked up to the danger room, eyes narrowing. He’d cleared the room for use with the appropriate people earlier. “I’ll go see what we can do about setting the mood in the God room too.” A nice training mat or boxing ring would round out the experience. Safety first! He slipped a red glove on with a grin.

Kasumi wonders why this is a secret she srugs her shoulders as she looks at them. Soon she slips them on. Kasumi smiles as she nods "Ok." she looks so cute in the pads on. She makes sure that everything is tight and laced whatever more has to be done. She is not sure what the war room is.

Kasum starts to punches the air as she wates for Shin to get back. She seems not to be to bad at it. She is just happy that she can know how to fight. To be a X-men someday she has to know how to fight in anything. She nods to herself. She will not give up in what she wants to be. She wants to make the world a better place for humans and mutants.

Kasumi just wants them to live in pace. Yet deep down she knows that it can not happen but one can hope she thinks. She keeps on hitting the air being low to the floor as she closes her eyes. She hopes that she does not hurt anyome it dawns on her that Shin really wanted to train her in this. She smiles he is so nice to her she likes being trained and hops that she does not make fool of herself.

Shin flicked a few switches in the god room, calling up the programming for a special scene. The room shifted and changed its appearance. Now, it looked like a boxing ring. He walked back down the stairs to rejoin her with a smile, climbing into the boxing ring and motioning for her to join him.

He got into a low boxing stance, holding up one hand to guard his face as the other one practiced a few jabs at the air.

“I’m going to teach you a discipline passed down through the ages by anyone who has ever wanted to punch another in the face as sport, Kasumi. The Ancient Greeks used to practice this style of fighting, and if the Greeks can do it, I’m sure you’ll be a natural! It’s the art of ‘pugilism’, also known as boxing.”

He waited for her to hop on up into the ring before continuing.

Kasumi looks at Shin as she nods she soon gets into the ring. As she looks at him with her eyes "Wow cool." she never boxed before, she looks at Shins stance as she nods. She soon gets into the same stance as she walks closer to him "So what do I do?"

Kasumi peers at him with her eyes as she smiles some. She seems to be ok over this. She wants to do this right she just does not want to attack him. She needs to guided and what not. Kasmui sometime feels so odd in asking things like this yet it is best to ask then to try something and hurt herself and the person that is helping her.

"Well, in boxing you want to guard youself while exchanging blows with your opponent in a timely fashion. See how my arm is raised by my face? If you tried punching me, I could guard. It's better to take a blow to the side of the arm than a punch to the face." He knew a good many toothless men that had learned that the hard way. Shin went on to point out how important a defensive game was in boxing. You could keep your enemy at arm's length while tiring them out, or you could get in close and hit them in the gut. There were many different types of strategies, all reliant on-- "Punching." Shin finished his sentence.

Shifting his body, he held out his fist to display a slow jab. "This is a jab. It's a type of punch. There are a lot of different types. The uppercut, the lowercut, the jab..." He listed off a few more, keeping it simple to start her off slow. With each listed type, he brought his fist out to display the motion.

He had her practice a few of the different punches and guarding strategies. "After you're done getting down the punches and blocks, we can practice the one-on-one."

Kasumi nods as she shadows him. She seems to be doing well as she smiles "This does not seem to hard.. but I could be wrong." She blocks as she jabs and does the other things that Shin showed her. She likes the idea of not taking alot of hits form the other person.

Making them tried was a good thing. For Kasumi did not want to hurt the person that she was fighting herself. If she could help it she will just make them tried and get them that way. It seems that this would work very well for her. Kasumi looks at Shin as she nods "I am ready." she smiles to him as she gets into the stance with her hands near her face like he just showed her.

“Alright, now to start out I’d like to practice hitting me. Aim for wherever I’m unguarded, and try to keep your distance, only hitting me with ranged blows. I’ll do my best to bob and weave my way out of your fist’s path.” This was to show her how effective a good defensive game was in comparison to the physical wear-down of playing against it. Raising his arms in front of his to defend his face and chest, Shin vacationed from point to point of the floor. He let his feet stay light, ready to respond to any move she’d make. If she came in too close, he’d do a light, quick ranged jab to get her back in her own little hit-box. It wouldn’t be anything heavy, or aimed at dominating the match, just something to remind her to keep her distance; A tap on the head-guard or a bump of the glove.

She said she was ready, so he said he was too. “Come at me.” He bopped his gloves together, as if in taunt, then reclaimed his guarding placement and waited with a competitive grin.

Kausmi nods as she keeps her eyes on Shin "I will try.. I might end up falling on my face." she lets out a laugh. Yet Kasumi is not that bad she is very grasefull and light on her feet. Her eyes looks over his body as she nods. She will not try ot hit hard she will hold back she is not sure how hard of a hit he could take.

Kasumi start to hit at the parts that he has on guarded. She is father fast as she does so. But that is form her being so light and small. She seems to be good at this even if she has not done this in her life. Kasumi smiles at Shin as she looks at him with her bright green eyes. She hopes that she id doing ok and not makeing herself look like a fool but that is the point of training to look good at what she does in the end.

Her first hit came in fast, but Shin ducked and shifted out of the way, letting it glance off the side of his forearm harmlessly. Other hits followed quickly, and didn’t go unmissed by the Asian boy. He’d been right on the money with his assumptions. She was a quick study, and a fast fighter. Slipping through the gaps in her assault, he brought himself in close.

“That’s good,” he noted after a few minutes of practice. “But you’re letting me in a little too close. You want to keep me out of range. If I was able to get in this close…” A fist kept coming and caught him in the chin. Shin staggered back a bit, rubbing the spot. He let out good-humored laugh. “Well, disregarding that hit, if I were too close I could weather those hits and deliver a few of my own. That’s what in-fighters tend to do. But you’re pretty good at this starting out. With a bit more practice, you could become a real force. You might want to put a little more power into your punches, though.” He scratched his neck. “I hardly felt the one to my chin.”

He showed her a few more tricks and tips to keep opponents out of their hit range, and some ranged blows she could use to score points. They resumed practice.

“Let’s try this again. This time, I want you to really come at me. Keep your distance, but try to hit harder. If you see an unguarded area, aim for it. That’s the key to boxing success. Hit fast, and hit often. If you can, make those hits count.”

Dropping back a few feet, he raised his guard. They’d try this again. She was showing marked improvements already. With a few more practice sessions, she’d be even better. He’d have to make this a regular thing with her. Training with someone was fun, and it certainly helped.

Kasumi Looks at Shin as she nods hearing what he says then bam she hits him in the chin her eyes go wide "Oh I an so sorry!" Soon he is laughing as she smiles "Well I am holding back I do not want to hurt you." Kasumi smiles to him ever so sweet.

She can feel her cheeks grow a little arm as she nods "Alright." Soon she holds her hands up. Put more force behind the punch, block and stay out of range. She is sure that she can do that. Kasumi smiles more as she starts to move out of the way of the hits as she jumps back some. Useing her frog like powers this time. Kasumi binds and flexes to stay out of range. She sends harder hits at Shin this time. She is still holding back a little bit.

"Good," Shin took a hit to the side, then bobbed around another one. "Very good." He fell back a little, moving around her punches and blocking a few more. After a few more minutes of practice, Shin figured that was enough for the day. They'd practiced 45 minutes when he finally ended the training. "You're showing good improvement, Kasumi." Shin slipped off his gloves and held his helmet under one arm. "Let's make that a habit. Are you okay with meeting me three times a week for practice? There's a lot more I can teach you, and a lot more training to be had. I think you've got potential."

He smiled. If three was too many, two'd be fine. She was grasping the basics pretty well. With a little conditioning and practice... he was looking forward to having a sparring partner.

Kasumi hears Shin as she smiles. She never knew that she was going to fight but she is now with his help. At last they were done as she takes her own helmet off then her gloves> She shakes her head as she nods "Three would be good. It would work very well for me to keep fit also." Her voice is happy she could of went longer but she was always hyper.

Kasumi runs her fingers though her hair "I never knew that I would have a nat for fighting but I do." Smiles "That is good I will not be useless if I am attacked." She nods she could not help it she puts her gloves and helmet down. She walks to Shin and hugs him "Thank you so much for doing this for me." She gives Shin a fast peck on the cheek as she backs up and smiles to him with some of her hair on her shoulder. It is nice that she has him if she did not she would not have any idea what to do.

“That’s another you’ve landed on my face,” Shin smirked, holding his cheek where she’d kissed him. First the chin, now this. It was alright, though. He was glad she was thankful and that the training was working out for her. “Want me to walk you back to your room? We can set up the days for practice on the way.”

Gathering up the gloves and helmets, he pressed a few buttons on the panel on the wall. The danger room simulation ended and the ring vanished into thin air. Swinging the strung-together gloves over one shoulder, he offered her his elbow.

Kasumi smiles as she blushes some "Well that one was not painful. I am sure you liked it." She could not help but to blush a little bit she did like it also. Her eyes looks at Shin as she nods her head "Yes that would be wonderful." Soon Kasumi takes Shins elbow as she looks at up at him. She could not help to smile as she walks.

Kasumi loves spending time with Shin and well the training well get her to know him better also. That is a good thing. Kasumi walks with Shin she could not help but to have a little bit of a bounce in her walk. Is that her or her powers? Only she will know that. She smiles more as she looks up at Shin form under her long eye lashes.
