Somehow I'll make a man out of you... well, more like woman out of myself (Open)

Sho grins, bowing low and dramatically." Ah, its wonderful to meet such a wonderful girl as yourself, Yanagi-kun. I am the Glorious Hero and master musician Mamuro Sho, bane of Cruel Shopkeepers and Spiteful Classmates." He straightens up, winking." I'm also known as the Modest One."

She blinked as she was called a wonderful girl by Sho, smiling, and then he went on to introduce himself as a glorious hero and refer to himself by many other titles before also saying that he was known as the Modest One.

Yanagi blinked at him, and started laughing a bit loudly. "Ah, yes. I could tell from the moment I saw you; your modesty is absolutely glowing off of you in brilliant light," she teased, poking his chest, before looking at Haruka. "So you fought this guy earlier?"

Haruka giggled at the way Sho introduced himself, she actually laughed when he called himself the modest one, but she awkwardly coughed and pretended it didn't happen. Yanagi laughed loudly at the joke and commented on how modest he was, then she asked if Haruka fought Sho earlier I dunno, it was a bit too one-sided to call it fighting she jokingly grinned smugly at Sho before getting an idea Why don't you two go at it? You two are much less of an unbalanced match up than me and Sho. she turned to Yanagi Besides, knowing you you came to train before you detected me

Sho grins as Yanagi responds." It is?!!!! Hahahaha, my plan has worked!! Now I can blind my foes!!" He strikes a comically evil pose, then listens as Yanagi asks if Sho was who Haru fight,wincing slightly at her response." Hey, I held my own, I'll have you know." Then, she suggests they go up against eachother. Sho nods." I'm alright with it if she is."

Yanagi laughed again a little when Haruka said it was a little too one-sided, but then made a pouty face at Haruka when she said they were more of a match for each other than Sho was for her.

"Hey, quit acting all high and mighty. I'm just as strong as you are!"

She looked at Sho as he agreed, and heard Haruka move on to saying that she knew she was coming out to train when she came out here. She blinked, and then smiled. "Yeah, you know me...I was at the tree again. It's still got good bark, but I figure I'll cut through it by the end of the month!" she said enthusiastically, grinning.

Haruka couldn't help but smile when she saw the way Yanagi pouted and just patted her on the shoulder Sure, sure, just as strong, keep telling yourself that. So, how's life being just a genin? she grinned evilly, but it was clear she was just teasing Yanagi rather than trying to be genuinely antagonistic. Yanagi then also reported that she was working on the tree Great! I'm sure it'll go down soon, miss genin

Sho, seeing the two speaking to each other, shrugs, whistling as he unshrugs his shamisen and vegans playing softly. It was a funny, weird song, and he laid out the beat under his breath."Buhbuh-buhbuh duhduhduhduhduh...." Tilting his head,he hmms, adjusting a string, then resume playing.

Yanagi shot Haruka a glare, nudging her. "Hey! The Chunin Exams haven't even rolled around yet! I've been training hard each and every day for the upcoming Exams!" She pouted a little cutely, crossing her arms as she looked away, though she was taking it just about as seriously as Haruka was.

She looked at Sho as he began playing his shamisen. She smiled. "That sounds nice."

Haruka just waved her off, acting superior What about the exams before those, hmmm? she then did her best troll face. Haruka smiled when Yanagi pouted, she could tell she was playing along. She listened to Sho's music while she got an idea You know, Yanagi, if we interrupted your training, we could always make up for it by training together there was a certain level of challenge of her voice that was unmistakeable, anyone who heard that would be able to tell what Haruka was suggesting.

Sho grins at Yanagi's compliment." Oh hey..thanks. I knew you were as gentle and kind as your eyes are bright."He looks up warily at Harukus note of challenge, and slowly pulls down his goggles. She didn't mean.....no,no..She wouldn't do that,heh.

Yanagi grinned a little at Haruka. "The Chunin Exams before the last one? I wasn't a Genin then," she replied. That would suggest that even though she was a Genin, she was advancing a lot faster than Haruka. Then Haruka suggested that they could train together. Yanagi gasped, her smile and eyes brightening. Training together with Haruka always involved a fight.

"You're on!" she said with enthusiasm, beginning to walk quickly to the training grounds she usually went to. She looked at Sho. "Thank you."

Yanagi said that she wasn't a genin two years ago, which made Haruka frown in confusion We're the same age though, didn't you start being a genin at 12 like everyone else? Well, whatever, that wasn't important, what was important was that Yanagi accepted her challenge. Despite Haruka's smack talk about being way stronger than Yanagi, she really enjoyed fighting Yanagi.

Haruka would walk over to the training grounds with Yanagi and would do a few quick stretches before she turned to Sho Give us some dramatic battle music she would then charge forwards and throw a few simple punches to test the waters, she hadn't gotten serious yet.

Sho smiles." Ey, no worries. I speak only truth, after all,hahaha!"He follows them over to the training grounds, and blinks as Haruku asks that he give them dramatic battle music. With a grin, he faslls into a cross legged position, readying his instrument." If that is what you wish!!"

(Just the strings)

Yanagi smiled brightly. Though she was a beautiful woman in the business of bruises and fractures, she did enjoy a good fight. She gleefully joined Haruka on the battlefield, facing her in a stance all of her own. If the styles existed in this world, her style would be a punishing blend of Jujutsu, Shandang Praying Mantis, and Tai Chi.

As Haruka came in, she started as she always did. Testing Yanagi's stance. As the first punch came in, Yanagi just danced back a step, completely inverting the stance. As the second came in, Yanagi would catch the punch with ease as a "hook" (Her fingers) curled slightly, and would then push her extended arm to the side, turning her body as she jabbed at her neck. It would cause massive discomfort to say the least, and if her strike worked, she would bring her knee up into Haruka's exposed lower back.

Haruka's first punch was avoided and the second one was used against her, Haruka ducked under her arm as she jabbed for her neck and would go in for a simple punch to the side, followed by doing a back roll to gain some distance between them. Haruka would then go into a stance before spinning on the spot and jumping at her in such a way so that she was spinning in the air and lashing out her foot to hopefully strike Yanagi in the side of the head, if this hit or was blocked she would bend the knee of the leg that contacted and would use it to spring herself away, landing in a defensive stance.

Sho continues playing, watching closely as they spar. Hmm, they were pretty skilled. Sigh, and he was stuck fighting from a distance...He shrugs, paying attention to his music.Coming to another part part where he vocalizes, he does so, bobbing his head as the young musician gets into the music.
