Kūkan exhaled slowly, walking to a more secluded and open area of the field. A wooden post had been sent up, numerous nicks across it showing exactly what it was used for. His sword send him a feeling of curiousity: Her equivelent of a questioning look.

''"Practice...can't get rusty, now can I?" ''He smirked as she snorted, before calming himself. He was in clear view of everyone, but they seemed to be sidetracked with their own doings. So he should get some peace and quiet....

A hand came up to grasp the Tsuka (Handle), the other grasping the Saya (Scabbard). With an almost reverent motion, he withdrew the katana from her sheathe.

''"Through shadow, comes balance..." ''He repeated in his mind, settling into a stance. It was the waki stance, the blade held at the waist pointing backwards. He stood straight and confident, eyes closed. ''"Be it good or evil, monster or human...it cannot interrupt the balance of this world..." ''Slowly, his foot slid forward, until his knee was bent just before ninety degrees. ''"I will send it to the Void." ''His eyes flashed open, the irises purple while the sclera turned into a deep, soul-less black. His legs tensed, and shot him forward, leaving a faint black trail behind. Kumori came across in a vicious, but clinical slash- right where the opponents leg would be. Kūkan twisted around, bringing his sword up and over from his shoulder across his body. The motions were lightening fast, and controled. And restricted by the uniform he wore.

The male stepped back, frowning. As he began to roll up the sleeves on his shirt, the post splintered into four pieces. He watched the reaction with slight surprise.

''"Whoops....didn't mean ta hit it that hard...baka..." ''He scolded himself mentally, before resetting his position. This time, he went through several basic kata, reminding himself to keep his skills a secret. Though, if anyone saw what just happened, then he'd be under suspicion.

"Maybe you should let me out...been awhile since we've sparred in the real world...not to mention it may help your social problem." Kumori suggested. The swordsman paused, and tilted his head.

"Why not..." He resumed the Katas, inwardly gathering enough energy for his sword's spirit to manifest physically."
