The Manga shop was empty when they arrived, but Autumn had grown used to it. Over the last while, when Clyde had gone missing, she would leave during the day and come back at night, with a glimmer of hope that he would be there when she returned. The silence of the place had become a reminder that nobody was there to want her around. Until Kaden came along.
Moving through an aisle of manga, she led him to the back, which had many rooms. Most were empty, except Clyde's, only having a bed and a dresser for whomever would inhabit it next. Autumn slept in one of them, but she didn't ahve anything on her to leave behind and claim it. Walking down the hallway of abandoned rooms, she stopped when she reached the end, turning to look at Kaden evenly.
"This place is not mine. Clyde sort of inherited the place when his master disappeared, it is necessary that it kept a secret from those who are enemies or are not trusted." She waited to go further until Kaden swore to keep it hidden. Then, slowly, she opened up a staircase that spiraled down into darkness.
After a few minutes of descending into the black, and reiatsu started to fill the air, they came into an impossible place. A giant wasteland like area beneath the shop. The air was thick with Reiatsu and the landscape seemed to continue on forever. The only thing moving, besides them, was the artificial clouds in the blue 'sky'.
With mild irritation she glared at the fake sun before turning back to Kaden, "We can train here without being disturbed." She didn't know how this place was here, or how it came to be, or how it was found. But it was. And that was what mattered. It was a safe haven for those with power to train at their max without attacking the bigger 'fish'.

This place was just wonderous as Kaden swore not to let out anything about the place they were in. He looked around to see all the rooms, it looked really small on the outside, but on the inside it looked rather big. He kept his mouth shut as they got to their destination. The biggest room underneath the shop, looked like a giant training ground. How could this place exsist? He wondered around examining the place.
"It's beautiful..."
Here they were going to train, and so he wanted to get straight to it, he snapped out of his awe and unzipped the top of the casing which looked like a postage cylinder strapped around his shoulder. From there, there was sword, blue sheath, blue hilt with golden insription on the sheath, and a golden tether at the end of the hilt. The Blade of Kulika was the name of this item. He placed the case to the side so then it wouldn't become a nusence.
"I appreciate this Autumn... Really i do..."

Autumn looked away from the sun, back to Kaden as he walked around in awe. Slowly she brought herself back to the idea of a fight. Her gaze went blank as she thought about how to do this. Kaden was pulling out a sword as Autumn looked down to her hands. Should she draw a weapon? Autumn was pretty confident that she could stay away from him and his blade, but what would that teach him? In the same thought, she was confident she could kill him if she didn't watch herself.
"I'm really not sure where we should begin." She said as she looked back up to him, letting her hand drop back to her side. She hadn't fought anyone so much weaker than her before, let alone a human. But then she had to remind herself that this wasn't a fight, this was a training, and possibly not to her benefit.
"And I'm not sure how much to throw at you." she admitted.

"Just do this... Do what ever it takes so then you can't get burnt... It doesn't matter how fast you are, or how slow i am, it doesn't matter how stronger you are or how weak i am. Fire still burns and stings like a bitch..."
What the hell was he talking about? For one he thought Autumn would have no idea, however once he unseathed his sword it answered all questions which would be asked.
"It's a training, use your sword, use hand to hand. Just make sure i don't hit you... And also keep in mind... It doesn't matter how you attack, doesn't matter about speed. Fighting is like a game of chess, make a mistake... And your fucked..."
He spoke putting it into plain terms as the appearence of him was quite to oppisite than anyone could expect. She was the first person to see his power, and for a supposed 'church boy' he looked far from an angel.
Sharper-looking teeth, slightly pointed ears, and his pupils turn red while his irises remain bright blue. His physical appearance is that of black hair, which now looked to have grown longer in course of the release of his power. However apart from that nobody would be able to ignore that parts of his body was engulfed in flames. A slight smirk came upon his face.
"Shall we begin?"
He kicked off from the ground as he ran forwards just a bit, he flung his body in the air as he spun around side ways.
"Burn!"
He voiced as when he spun around in the air a blue flame seemed to spiral out of it. Crazy fire, it seemed to have a mind of it's own. His next attack came after he landed on the ground. He held his hand bellow the blade with his fingers spread out as if he was like spiderman or something. All of a sudden flames came out from the sword again, however this time it looked like bullets coming from a machine gun. From different ways he controled the sword, or used hand signs on his sword, the flames would come out in different ways.

Autumn's eyes narrowed a little as Kaden spoke. She was silent as she watched him unsheathe his sword and the blue flames appeared. Blue flame was said to be hotter and more searing than orange fire, and yet it seemed calmer. How strange. She made no move to unsheathe her own sword, it generally just got in her way it seemed. In any case, it wasn't where she was strongest.
She slid her feet out of her tall wooden sandals and gently kicked them to the side as her hands pulled two black wooden chopsticks from her Crimson coat and started twirling her hair into a messy but effective bun. It was as she was removing her coat that Kaden started his run at her. Her eyes narrowed further and as he threw a flame spiral at her, and she dropped her coat to the ground as she shunpo'd behind Kaden.
"I've never played chess." she said calmly as she raised a hand up in response to Kaden's fire bullets, "Enkosen." A shield of reiatsu appeared before her and when they stopped she dropped the shield and began another quick hand movement.
"Hainawa." A strong energy rope would form and restrain Kaden's arms. A frown appearing on Autumn's face, her hip cocked a little to stand more comfortably, "What is this teaching you?" She asked slowly, truly wondering how this helped him.
Throughout the whole exchange Autumn was rather calm. Whether or not she meant to show it, it was obvious she didn't consider Kaden a threat.

Even though his arms were restrained from the energy rope he was still holding onto his sword.
"Chess, also known as Shogi is a strategic game. It was also used in the war to try and figure out a battle stratagy... Just before you were a pawn... Defending yourself. Now you changed to the bishop, trying to neutralize me from a distance..."
His blade hit the ground as he still held it in his hand.
"Bend!"
On the command fire from the blade came onto the ground, two thin lines of flames traveled on the ground. One appeared to go up his leg to his arms and started to run along the energy rope that Autumn made, hopfuly this would break the magic she had released. The other line of fire however headed straight towards autumn. If it was to reach her it would circle and lach around her leg. If she was to move out of the way then the flame would follow her. However it would only stop at 20 meters. However the upside to it if it was to conjoin onto flames which already laid on the ground, the line of flames would continue for another 20 meters. It was too bad that there wasn't any other flames to conjoin it with.
"Now i play as the knight. The knight can only move in an 'L' shape as to this attack there are it's disadvantages like how far it can go. However it seems to get me out of check."
The intense flames would burn through the kidou and release his arms as he would swing the blade forwards as Autumn would be evading the flame line the ground.
"Grab!"
He spoke aloud as when he swung the blade it looked like a dragons hand would come out from the blade, burning in a flame it would head towards Autumn. The hand would attempt to grab hold of Autumn, and with another swing of his blade the hand would let her go and fling her to a near-by boulder. From the grab she could gain some burns since the hand was made of blue flames.

Autumn jumped away from the flames coming towards her on the ground, "You are strange. Using an apparently limited... tool.. to combat someone who is at range." She raised her hands before her as she braced to be grabbed. In honesty, she didn't much feel like dodging him all day.
As she was thrown against the boulder she rolled over it, her clothes singed and a light stinging on her skin where she was grabbed, "Is there something in this game of yours that accounts for things unseen?" She said as she stood on the boulder, looking down at Kaden.
"Kyokko." The light of the place would bend around her, making her invisible, along with any trace of her reaitsu. Once she was gone, she Shunpo'd a distance behind him. And instead of attacking him, like she would have had it been just about anyone but him, she waited. Teaching him how to get around kido's was more important than potentially maiming the boy. She wouldn't forgive herself if she did either.

Kaden wasn't getting his hopes up. He knew that Autumn was going easy on him, and it seemed she was only using kidous, so he just thought that she wanted to see how he could get out of them. When she said asked if there was anything in Shogi that accounts for things unseen he only smiled.
"Its only unseen if you don't pay attention..."
Once he said that he stabbed the blade into the ground once the playing feild had gone white.
"Arise!"
From those words which were spoken bluse flames had risen from the ground from around Kaden. The flames had covered a wide spread of about fifty metres in just a split second. Surely that would use up a lot of energy as he couldn't be too careful in knowing where she was exactly...
Once the playing feild was back to normal he would charge forwards towards Autumn. He knew he wasn't fast enough, but still that is what trainings are for. He held both hands on the hilt of the sword as he slashed down with power. Using kendo style gives more power and speed to an attack, but still even if his speed is slower than hers, still she might be caught off gaurd since she had been used to his regular speed.

Autumn had let herself relax, perhaps a little too much. Fire erupted around her and shook her from the Kido she had cast around herself. She was a bit surprised, which halted her from dodging the boy and instead only having enough time to draw her blade and block with it. She pushed back on him, putting space back between them.
"Your powers extend beyond what I had believed." She stated. It could be the closest thing to an actual admission that she had been wrong about his limits.
Autumn then charged forward at him, sword in hand, not using her full speed. She swung for his shoulder, but fighting him was hard for her. She didn't want to hurt him.

"I'm glad that i surprised you..."
From there Autumn had came at him as he saw the blade line up for his shoulder. Quickly he put up his sword so it would block her attack, however at the same time their swords would clash as he would push forwards. She was stronger than he was so he need to put more force to it as both swords were joined together in a freeze frame clash. The swords grinding against each other as Kaden cuped his palm over the gaurd of the sword.
"Burn..."
From that action a dome of blue flames would persue and cover ontop of her, as the ground would leave a small creater in which the dome had taken place.

Autumn scowled, finding all the fire irritating to a point. Pushing through the fire she shouldered Kaden in the chest, to push him back again. The theory being that if she kept him off balance she could wear him out. Besides, she hadn't been 2nd division captain for nothing. After she had shouldered him, she slid a foot between his, before putting a hand on his shoulder to push him possibly down, or at least make him stumble.
After that she stepped back, blade back up and in a defensive stance. Autumn was starting to hope that Kaden wasn't catching on that she wasn't trying to hurt him. There was irritation on her face, but whether or not it was at him was hard to tell.

He knew the flames weren't hurting her, and he knew that she wasn't trying to hurt him (which he figured out long ago due to the amount kidous). She emerged from his blue flames and would elbow him in the chest. There wasn't much to discribe the impact than it hurt like hell, however any contact that is made from someone else, they are likely to get burned just by touching him. She would have a hole on her sleeve where her elbow rested. When she slid her foot between his followed by trying to push him down. He stabbed the sword into the ground so he could maintain his balance.
He pulled to sword out as he slash sideways towards her, and then slashed downwards, the movement after that was hit foot; Kaden directed a kick to her diaphram. This way it would create more distance, and more time to think of a plan.

After getting kicked backward, Autumn scowled as she looked to her elbow, now bare of clothing, and realized her shoulder must be much the same. With a bit of anger, maybe even malice she thought, Well then, you keep working you're way out of my Kido... But this will be much different. If she kept him from moving at all, she wouldn't have to worry about having to hit him or ruining her clothes more.
Slowly, she released her reiatsu around her, leaking out just enough to weigh down on him and make it harder for him to move. She took a short jump back and held her blade up, ready to deflect more of his advancement and jump out of the way if he wanted to burn her again.

A pressure was weighing down on him, he tried to fight it, but the more he did so, the more tired he had become. It must of been a release of energy she was letting out. She had a lot of power, very strong, he felt overwhelmed. There wasn't much he could do, his movements felt slower as he tried to fight through it some more.
"Burn..."
He spoke as he swung his blade to the ground, as he did a large wave trail of fire headed straight towards her. Even though his movements have slown down, doesn't mean the fire was effected also. Whilst she was being occupied by that he would be running inside the flames. He wouldn't raise a swet, not would he feel the heat due to his immunity. When the flames reached her, Kaden would also reach her not so long behind as he slashed upwards towards her, making the flames rise up to the fake blue sky.

Autumn jumped back a few times to stay ahead of the fire. As he moved towards her through the flame she had just a little time to realize that he was right in front of her again. She got her blade up to block the attack but had to jump back again to avoid the flame that came with it. Eyes narrowed with annoyance, she swung at his shoulder again before moving to the side.
Keeping the reiatsu flow over him constant, she pointed her finger toward him, focusing on not killing him, " Number four, Byakurai." White lightning shot from her finger, aimed for his center mass. She jumped back again, looking over Kaden to make sure she hadn't hurt him too much.

He held out his sword again in order to block, as when the two blades met, he pushed hers away straight away. He kept his eyes open as he spotted her straight away from the corner of his eyes.
He spoke the words, 'Burn' once again, as he tried the same thing as he did the first time, but differently. He twirled the hilt of the sword on his fingers. The blade spinning fast in a circle. From the words he spoke just moments before a giant spiral of wild flames headed towards the kidou. The air had vanished as the fire saw to that. The lightning would follow into the spiral and as the fire tightened around the kidou and explotion would be at large.
He stopped twirling the sword as he gripped it tight, holding up his fore arms to protect his eyes from the blast.

Autumn watched with somethin akin to fascination as the fire swirled infront of her, she wasn't even angry that he had stopped her kido. There was raw power within Kaden, it was obvious. Then something triggered in her brain, a light came on. Kaden might be able to stand in the blast, but Autumn didn't want to. Autumn quickly gauged how far she would need to go in order to be mostly out of the blast range.
Shunpo wasn't fast enough.
Autumn had to try and push herself farther, faster to keep herself safe. But she'd never tell Kaden that, it could go to his head. She focused, only having a few moments left. She was certain she could stretch the distance, she just never had a reason to before. Focusing into the flash step, she tried to move her body faster than the ability had previously let her.
Once she came to a stop, she turned and was inwardly glad to see that she was a considerable distance further than she previously could have been. Bringing a forearm up to shield her eyes she watched the fire and lightning swirl before exploding outward. Using another shield kido, to further protect herself, she let it drop before speakin again, "What would you do if you couldn't use your fire?" so far, it was almost all she had seen from the boy. He needed to be skilled elsewhere as well.

He looked over to Autumn as she spoke, holding up the sword, he looked at the bright blue flames which seemed to amuse his blue and red eyes. He didn't know what he could do without it, he had relied on it so much through out the years.
"I don't know to be honest. I rely on my power to much, and all i know now i taught myself. No one has taught me anything, i needed to learn whilst in battle..."
He tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword. He knew that she didn't mean to do this to him, but he felt so weak, not knowing enough, relying on his power to get him through, that was the only thing that got him through battles. He kept on thinking that it wasn't him winning the battles, but his power alone.
"That's why i asked if you can train with me. Because i don't have much sword skills to begin with..."

Autumn walked over to Kaden, obviously not about to attack him, "Can you get rid of the fire? I find it bothersome."
She stood infront of him, looking him over, with her arms crossed. Thinking something over, she took her blade and used it to pull Kaden's knee forward a bit, using the dull edge. She was tired of all the fire so she used her blade to touch Kaden. The first was then followed by a tap on the inner part of Kaden's opposite knee. He needed a wider stance. She wasn't being violent at the moment, her touches were more just guiding him.
After another few minutes of just walking around him and analyzing what he needed work on, she stopped in front of him with her hand out, silently demanding his sword.

"Im sorry... I can't do that... This is my Fullbring, i can't switch off the flames."
He spoke, hopfully she knew what he was talking about, and even though he didn't know much, this was one of the things that Father Damian told him about. He felt her blade on his legs, she was helping him out as he widened his legs. Wider stance maybe.
"I can only turn off my powers if i sheath me sword..."
The he saw her hand held out, and thats when he sheathed his sword and flames went out, his eyes went from red back to blue, his hair from long to short, his pointed teeth went back to normal. So he held out Kulika the Demon Slaying sword.
