Become Who You Want To Be ((Accepting))

[Adenar]

Jamie struggled with hit after hit from Erick's developed and strong defense, barely managing to parry the blows. It didn't help that Jamie was slightly intimidated by Erick's presence. The match was a first-to-five contest, and Erick was already on four points.
You really need some practise, Paine told him from within his mind. Jamie gritted his teeth. Paine really didn't have the best timing.
"You're a great help." Jamie told her in response. Paine didn't reply, but he could almost sense her rolling her eyebrows.
Then Erick's foil made contact with his chest and the buzzer went off. Jamie slumped, resigned, and removed his hemlet. He held out his hand for Erick to shake, like they all did after every match, with a polite but not overly friendly smile.

Jessica had always had an interest in Aikibudo and so she watched Kohaku and the rest oof the group training with interested eyes. Her kickboxing class had just ended and she was taking out half an hour before taking a swim. She wasn't sure whether she could fit the class into her schedule, but she was a renowned sports nut. She could probably do it. And, if all that the Doctor had told her was true, she'd probably need the experience.
I've told you before, I get along fine without violence... the Doctor sighed, overhearing Jessica's thoughts.
It's just to keep fit! Jessica insisted.
Jess, I heard your thoughts. The Doctor shot back.

Erick shook Jamie's hand, took off his helmet, and walked away.
You're getting good. Now all you need to do is- Naraku told him, but Erick cut him off. Be quiet. I know exactly what I'm doing, Naraku. Erick thought back, annoyed.
((Can the sports center have an archery range inside?))

[Adenar]

((Of course. =] I think I shall add settings and stuff to the first page.))

Jamie walked away from the spar with a slightly depressed mind and was very surprised when Paine butted in.
I like him. Paine admitted.
Jamie tried to stop himself making a face. What!
Paine sighed. Well, he has twice the confidence you do and is an expert swordsman. Paine explained. But he's a little suspicious. Far too...violence-driven.
What do you mean? Jamie asked, slightly confused by what Paine was saying.
Paine sighed again. You'll work it out.

((Kay. We got a dog yesterday! Her name is Cocoa. I like her. She's a very nice dog.))
Janessa was practicing her archery in the archery range. She was about to make a shot when she was interrupted. Again. Aim a little lower. Now go towards the left. Legolas thought to her. I can get it myself.... Janessa thought, firing, and making a perfect bull's eye. Ha! That was my second one today!

Kohaku stepped aside again as the boy tried to punch her again, she grabbed his wrist and pulled his hand back, putting strain on his wrist and arm.
"You're putting strain in the wrong way." She heard in her head.
"Shut it. I know what I'm doing, Pein." Kohaku responded back.
"Obviously you don't!"
Kohaku got slightly angry and put too much strain on the boy's arm, he tapped Kohaku's side, signing she was pushing to hard. Quickly she let go.
"You should've pushed harder! Geez you're weak."
Kohaku just shook the thoughts away, training came to an end and she sat down at the side. Greeting the teacher and standing up to get changed.
"Do your best next time."
"I did. I can't just break his arm, that's against the rules."
"And since when do we listen that that?!"
"Since I'd like to be allowed to train!"

Cukinu looked at Jamie, too bad he had lost.
"C'mon, go and cheer him up!" Sakura told her in her head.
"What? Oh, no no no. That'd be strange, now wouldn't it?" She replied, smiling slightly.
"Well, it would be nice..."
"Fine, fine, I'll do it." Cukinu looked at Jamie again and walked over to him.
"Um, hi!" She said cheerfull. "Too bad you lost, you're really good!"

Erick walked over to his locker and got his back pack. He walked out of the sports center and to a nearby diner. He sat at the counter and just got a water. Well, what are you going to after this? Naraku asked. I don't know. Maybe look for someone to actually fight. Why don't you fight the boy you always fight? I've fought him enough. He's too boring. Now be quiet.

[Adenar]

Jamie paused in his tracks as Cukinu came up to him and tried to cheer him up. This confused him a little; he wasn't really used to random people coming up to him and saying stuff. Sure, he'd seen Cukinu around...but they weren't that close.
Play nice now. Paine teased. Jamie could almost feel the smirk in her voice.
"Umm...thanks." Jamie replied, not wanting to be mean, but still slightly miffed by her approach. "It's Cukinu, isn't it?" Jamie asked.

[Queen of Spades]

Janessa shot few more times and quit. "Well that was fun." She said quietly, then getting her little pack she had, and walked to the entryway. Now what? She thought walking out the door.

[Serena]

Cukinu smiled and nodded, she could hear Sakura laughing in her head.
"I can't believe you just went up to him like that!" She laughed.
"Well, it's you who told me to!" Cukinu thought back.
"You obviously don't know how to approach people, now do you?" Sakura laughed again. Cukinu just ignored her.
"And..... You're.... Ummm..... Jamey? No... Jamie, right?" Cukinu tried, she wasn't that good with names.

Kohaku had changed her clothes and walked out the sporting centre, not having anything to do, she took her iPod out of her bag and listened to some music.
"Hey! You should train more-" Pein started, but Kohaku cut him off by turning up the volume of her music.
"Sorry, can't hear you, I'll train some more later on." She replied with a slight smile.
She looked around, wondering what to do....
"Guess I'll go for a walk..." She said to herself, she liked to go for a short walk sometimes, but not to often though.

[Adenar]

Jamie waited for Cukinu to finish guessing his name, then walked with her back to the bench, where he put his foil down on the ground and removed his fencing glove. It was really annoying kit; you got warm so quickly.
Have you ever fenced him before?" Jamie asked Cukinu, watching as Erick left. They were frequent fencing partners and Jamie had only won once - by a fluke in the scoring system.
I'm sorry, what did I say about opening up to strangers? Paine asked, in her best unimpressed yet slightly astonished voice. Jamie had learnt to ignore her for certain periods of time, so he pretended her voice wasn't there.
