-Rose and Thorns-

Arisa: Mornin' Sir! Sorry I'm late..,

Mr. Hatoyama:It's okay..

Arisa:Really?!

Mr. Hatoyama:No!
                      :You're always late! If I'll count all the days that I've thought you something, there would be more times that I've punished you for being so late and hardheaded!

Arisa:...I'm sorry...
          ut this time I really did something important!

Mr. Hatoyama:I really don't care! You're late and that's just it!

[[Now the two are in an open field, ready to train. Mr. Hatoyama; Arisa Hideyoshi's Personal Tutor; an apprentice.]]

Mr. Hatoyama:Let's start Arisa. You've already wasted minutes.
Arisa:Yes sir

[[In a middle of a battle field, Arisa is standing steadily. Sweat starts to run down from her face. The sun is shining brightly from behind and caused them both to hardly see each other.]]

Mr. Hatoyama:This time, you'll be following very strictly all my instructions, understood?

Arisa:I perfectly do sir!

Mr. Hatoyama:Now, no weapons will be used. Your hands and feet will be your only weapon. But even without all of this, you mind will be the strongest, on how you think.

Arisa:Got it!

Mr. Hatoyama:As a medical Student, , your life and presence is very important to your comrade or even the people around you. . Once a Healer is wounded or she even died, who else will be there to cure his ill and wounded comrades?

Arisa:None sir.,,

Mr. Hatoyama:In that case, the first thing you need to know about martial arts is dodging.

Arisa: Dodging?

Mr. Hatoyama: *sigh* Yes...

Arisa: Oh! I get it! I'll dodge 'cause if i'll be hit be the foe's attack, then who'll heal my comrades, right?

Mr. Hatoyama: Exactly! that's why I will be attacking you. I want you to dodge all my attacks , nothing else. Dodge just dodge. Am i making myself clear?

Arisa:Crystal Sir!

Mr. Hatoyama: Good! Lets start...

[[ They are now preparing to fight. Mr. Hatoyama is adjusting his skills for the teen Arisa. While Arisa's sweat runing down here and there, all over her body. ]]

[ Mr. Hatoyama standing a mile from Hideyoshi ]

Arisa: *thingking* Just dodge! remember, I'll not do anything else, just dodge all of-------

[[ Mr. Hatoyama with full speed is running towards Arisa. His fist slowing going up--up with the level of his face. His eyebrows meeting at the center of his face with his teeth grinding. ]]

Arisa: ...dodge.,,,*with a whisper*

[[He was at last right in front of her face, ready for a quick punch.]]

Arisa: oh!..,dodge....!

Mr. Hatoyama: That's exactly what I want you to do!Keep it up!

[[Arisa succesfully dodged a punch, but it wasn't over yet. Mr. Hatoyama then place his hands on the ground, put his feet up and kicked! ]]

[[Arisa closed her eyes as a sign of fear. Instead of dodging, she just closed her eyes for not to be able to see what will happen to her. Shock filled her mind. She flew a mile and then stumbled on the ground.]]
