Izanami watched as the young girl took her hand and began to speak. "Hello Mrs. Izanami. It is good to finally meet you. I have not had much trouble from Kurosanai except for the fact that he did not seem to understand my family's letter at first when I gave it to him. He also seemed baffled that I was going to marry him, especially after I switched from Pandora's older form back to my own self. I'm pretty sure I did not mind but while walking and talking about you and other thing he fainted. So I went to help him and my mind blanked out for a moment. He claimed I healed him but I could not have because I do not have techniques to do that or revive people. I do not know how or why he did it but now I also have a red and blue heart tattoo directly over my stomach because I helped him.” Her words at were a bit frantic as she struggled to get everything out of her mouth quick enough. She paused and then moved her kimono that she wore. On her stomach was a tattoo in the shape of a heart. With each passing word though the young girl slowly transformed into the form that Izanami had been so eager to see the form that the legend spoke of. It was really quite remarkable watching the young girl turn into the curvaceous woman that no doubt made Kurosanai’s jaw drop. This was the form that would help bring the Muzai clan back into prominence.
“Slow down dear,” Izanami laughed. “First I want to apologize for Kurosanai’s actions he is often times not the most observant member of society.” Instantly she could feel the daggers piercing into her back from Kurosanai. “You are correct I do intend for the two of you to marry each other to bring our two great families together. Kurosanai, even though he should have put two and two together, did not know of this arrangement. As for the tattoo I do not know what this is…” Izanami trailed off as she gently pressed her hand on the stomach of the young, now older, girl. Izanami was far from a fighter. She had only been trained in the bare basics by her father during her youth, however even with that little training she could feel the power coursing through the tattoo. She could appreciate that power, just as she could appreciate Kurosanai’s innate power. The leader of the Muzai glanced over her shoulder to the prodigy of their clan.
“What are you looking at?” Kuro snapped back out of frustration with being insulted numerous by Izanami.
“A fool that needs to remember his place,” Izanami snapped back.
“It would have been nice to know this was going to happen before our guest arrived.” Kurosanai sighed as he tried to repress his anger. The leaders of the Muzai clan were clearly not fans of one another. “What is the next step then for this somewhat awkward situation?”
Izanami turned to Carla, “What do you think is next for this situation?”

"I'm not sure..." Carla answered after she listened to the two argue. She grabbed Izanami's hand gently and said, "...I suppose we can plan my future training schedule with Kurosanai or wedding with him if you'd like Muzai-san. I'm not sure how you all do things at this lovely complex, but I may have jumped the gun in deciding to marry him and have realized I am not ready to yet. There's too many mysterious things I still don't understand."
Suddenly, Pandora spoke through the young woman to Izanami and Kurosanai for the first time and said, "I'd like to at least have my charge learn how to fly or something. She only knows how to throw punches, and not take them sadly. She won't do for a wife if ever the Earth or this place gets attacked. I can only take a guess at this but I do hope that you all train everyone here in some form of combat. All I've been hearing recently is bickering from everybody."

Izanami’s question seemed to draw Carla back to the ground that her excitement seemed to lift her off of. The girl had gotten a head of herself. Izanami had to see whether or not she was in fact worthy of being a future mother to the reborn Muzai clan. It was a sick manner of thinking she had however she had been taught at a very young age that all of her actions in life should be for the betterment of the clan. Many from the outside looking in would think that type of thinking is cold, perverted and manipulative. But the way Izanami saw it she had no choice, after years of mismanaging the family it had descended to the point that they were now irrelevant. It was up to her in order to bring the family back from the brink of extinction. She had no choice.
Kurosanai could not help but feel like he was letting the little girl down. It was really strange he felt this bond to her that no one could explain. It wasn’t love; it wasn’t fondness but rather something else. The closest thing he could describe it as was duty, a duty similar to that he had taken on by becoming the latest person to obtain the Aoiro. He shifted from foot to foot and his eyes studied Izanami. She was studying Carla like she studied Kurosanai the day he obtained the Aoiro. The way her eyes drift over the person, taking in every nook and cranny their body hides, studying trying to find any weakness. If unnerves almost everyone she ever runs into but Kurosanai stopped feeling that way a long time ago. Then Pandora exuded over the young girl’s mind, something that seemed strange to him. How could a spirit exert that much control over a living mind. She spoke of the fact that Carla needed to train, that she did not even know how to fly. Instantly Kuro knew where Izanami was going to go and let out a sigh.
“No worries my dear. If I remember correctly Kurosanai here figured out how to fly on his own,” Izanami spat. She had not been happy that she had not been informed before he had fought in the tournament. The truth of the matter was that he had figured it out only days before his match where it was displayed to the whole galaxy. “Anyways I am sure that Kurosanai would not mind one bit if he trained your…host to the point she is ready to protect the planet when the time comes.” Izanami highly doubted that anything of a global threat would present itself. Nothing truly had since the time of Fujin Muzai and even then he dispatched it with only a few allies by his side. “Isn’t that right?”
“Yeah I can train her. When would you like to do so?” The question was more directed at Carla than anything else however that was not who responded.
“There is no time like the present.” Izanami interjected.
With a roll of his eyes he answered, “Very well…follow me.” Kurosanai would open the doors back to the courtyard and descend the steps. The courtyard was originally designed to be a small combat area for the Muzai members to impress their leaders. Though it was rarely used now the function was still there and that would be where the two would train today.

Carla followed Kurosanai out the back door and down the steps. She ended up in a courtyard and as she looked around said, "Wow, this looks like a good place to train dear." She really meant it since it was a nice, secluded area and she had not gotten this kind of private mentoring in a while.
She wondered though how one might fly since Pandora mentioned it, and she had seen others do it before on occasion so she asked while she stood on the rocky courtyard's surface, "How do I learn the basics of the Flight Technique?"

Kurosanai had always been on the receiving end of training. Never on the end where he had to teach someone how to do a particular advanced fighting technique. In fact he was not even sure where he should start seeing as how no one had taught Kurosanai on how to fly. He had just sort of figured it out one day while he was wandering off in the wilderness trying to clear his head and entertain himself since he was not allowed to do pretty much anything else. He still didn’t feel confident flying even to this day. He always had the fear that he was going to fall out of the sky and crash to the Earth, mainly because that was exactly what happened…multiple times.
As he descended into the courtyard it brought back memories of when he used to demonstrate the skills that he had been learning in his private lessons against his best friend and cousin Mozoku. Mozoku was actually heralded as the next great warrior of the Muzai clan to possibly bring honor to the family name through tournaments and bodyguard protection. That was until Kurosanai happened to activate the Aoiro one day when the two boys were training against each other. Ever since that day he had been thrust into the spotlight as the savior of the family. A position he did not want by any means. He would walk over to the edge of the ring and then turn around to face Carla. It felt strange that he was possibly staring at his future wife and he now had to figure out how to teach something that he wasn’t even sure how he managed to perform to begin with.
“Ummm…so I guess the first thing you have to do is make sure that your energy is flowing properly through your body. This is rather hard to explain essentially you umm…you feel loose and energized at the exact same time. Next push that energy towards your feet…imagine yourself pushing yourself off the ground lightly…” Kurosanai stammered as he tried to figure out exactly what he did when he figured out how to fly. “From there you kind of just imagine yourself floating in the air…” slowly the prodigy of the Muzai began to lift off the ground. “Think of yourself as being incredibly light and like I said floating. I am not really too sure on how else to describe it,” Kurosanai finished as he settled back down on the ground. “I am not sure if Pandora knew how to fly or not but give it a shot. Worst that is going to happen if that you stay flat footed on the ground.”

Carla followed his instructions after he listed what she needed to do, however, as she focused her ki throughout her entire body she found herself feeling like she had not left the ground at all. She looked down at her geta sandals and the ground beneath them and found that was definitely the case as she pushed more ki into her body with no luck. She just could not fly right now.

Izanami sighed at the sight of Carla failing to lift off of the ground after Kurosanai had given her instructions on how to do so. Though in fairness to her Kurosanai sounded like a bumbling fool trying to explain the technique. It was quite sad that this girl would unfortunately have to marry him in the future but then again she was not showing much potential herself before Izanami’s eyes. If the leader of the Muzai didn’t know better it was almost as if the girl was not trying at all. Certainly this would not do especially if she was going to become the possible carrier of the potential heir to Kurosanai’s abilities. Izanami would have to turn the degree and pace of this training up if Izanami was going to be able to properly evaluate her abilities.
“Well that simply will not do one single bit. It is either you are incapable of learning how to fly, like the majority of us, or Kurosanai is a lousier teacher than I had originally thought. So this leaves me in a rather uncomfortable situation. You want to learn how to fly and I need to figure out how strong you actually are. So with that being said, you and Kurosanai shall now fight.” Izanami stated methodically without a single hint of compassion in her voice. She could have cared less as to what the little girl or Kuro wanted at this point. She needed to get results and quickly. “You can leave the weighted clothing on,” Izanami stated to Kurosanai with a wave. He was slightly shocked that she had found out about the weighted clothing and yet at the same time he knew he really shouldn’t be. There was little that Izanami did not know about that occurred in the Muzai compound.
“I am not going to fight her,” Kurosanai protested as he stared Izanami down. The cold ice in her stare was truly something else. There was not a single other person on the face of the planet that made him pause quite as much as she did. Though that probably could have been trumped by his mother as she truly knew how to wield both fear and prowess it could be debated on and on.
“You do not have a choice. You are to fight her,” Izanami spat back in a commanding fashion to Kurosanai which the boy only returned with a defiant stare. He was showing his stubbornness again and it was really only pissing Izanami off to now end. “As leader of the clan I hereby command you to fight her in an effort to satisfy everyone’s needs right now.” Kuro stood silent for a moment before letting out a sigh.
“I am sorry…” Kuro mumbled under his breath as he sank into a fighting stance. He would wait for only one moment before he sprang forward. He would sweep low with one leg in the effort to cause her to jump into the air. He would then follow this up with a halfhearted kick to the jaw. If successful this would send the girl flying through the air. Hopefully she would be able to learn how to fly rather quickly, but if it was unsuccessful Kuro would land, shift his weight and then throw a knee directed at her stomach.

Carla shrugged her shoulders before the fight began and stated, "I suppose I can't fly for now. Maybe ever, but let's just get this over with." She stayed perfectly calm as Kurosanai lowered into a fighting stance, but rather then take on one for herself waited to see what the better fighter might do by staying in a neutral standing position. Kurosanai seemed not in the mood to fight her as he ran at her and swept his foot out towards the bottom of her feet. She could not feel much power in his kick, even though she did not have the ability to sense his "real" power, however, it mattered not for she could at least see this attack briefly as it came at her with her green eye and back-flipped a foot back directly behind herself to avoid it.
The flip, though it saved her from one strike, blocked her view of the second one causing her to be hit square in the chin by a weak by well-placed kick to the head. This did some damage and caused her to totter on her sandals, but while Kurosanai landed before her and prepped his incoming stomach-to-knee blow her mind and energies would focus and in a single outburst she'd use her newest tecnique, the Kiai, to blast the immediate area with ki energy. To do this she flowed her natural energy through every pore in her body and let out a loud scream of "Stop hitting me!" Apparently, she came to find through training, if one yelled loud enough they could expel natural energy with their voice from their body.
It was the kind of basic technique found in "Ground Breaking Science" but she had never actually read the book before. There was a first time for everything though as the red energy within her surged out around her, hopefully enough to knock Kurosanai back or keep him at bay for a few seconds. She needed some time to draw her swords. Tools she relied too heavily on for her own style of combat.
(If I need to change anything let me know.)

He really didn’t want to have this fight with Carla. She wasn’t even a teenager yet but Izanami wanted Kurosanai to fight her as if she was his age. No doubt she would make a comment about him holding back, he was after all. It would not be right to not against a girl like this. Hell he was not even sure how powerful she actually was. Never the less he had to soldier on. His first kick only met air as the girl proved adept at getting out of the way of the attack as she back flipped through the air. The problem was that the girl was not quick enough to get out of the way of the second attack that Kurosanai had thrown. The second connected with her chin and caused her to stumble backwards slightly as she no doubt tried to catch her balance. Her sandals clacked against the ground numerous times as she tried to center herself. Kurosanai began to sink back into a fighting stance when his ears were blasted with one of the highest sounds he had ever heard. It was not just the pitch that caught Kurosanai off guard as he was actually pushed across the ground from the force. After the sound ended Kurosanai was left reeling.
His eyes were wide open as his hands were over his ears. This was an attack he was not expecting in the least. In fact he could swear his ears were actually bleeding from the pitch of the sound. “Mother…what the hell was that…” Kuro mumbled to himself while he unintentionally turned his back to his opponent. It was not like him to do this normally but the attack just staggered him that much. “Come on… get your head back in this…” Kuro told himself as he shook his head in an effort to cause his hearing to return to him.
Izanami watched on with a surprised look on her face that quickly melted into glee. Sure the blast was high pitched but it was something she expected Kurosanai to be able to handle. Sadly the prodigy of the Muzai was apparently not ready for something such as the attack. Izanami watched as the girl began to fumble with swords that were quite large as she still showed the need to improve on her skills. This was the perfect for the girl to strike but the moment would pass by if she did not act fast. Kuro may have been caught off guard but he would recover soon. She would have to watch to see if the prodigy of the Muzai continued to fight half hearted or if he was actually going to start fighting in earnest. Hopefully it would be the latter but she would just have to wait. Time to see what the young AnAn could do against a dazed opponent.

Carla finding her swords too hard to draw in the moment, and rather surprised her trick actually worked, took it upon herself to attack the bleeding Kurosanai with something other then her trusted weapons. Her delicate, yet well trained fists. She lowered her body into a forward facing, offensive fighting stance and sprung forward on her tiny legs. While she ran she curled her hands and pulled them back to her left side as she uttered, "Wolf... Fang... Fist!" With a burst of power, if she somehow managed to reach the taller man battling her, she would extend both her palms out and strike at his solar plexis hoping to knock him even more off kilter. Although, if he had a way to counter this by the time she reached him, she would prep a little ki in front of the area she intended to target and create an after image of herself striking at him with this famous attack. The real her would then attempt to slip to his right and elbow him with her right arm in the side.
Fighting tactfully was a skill she still needed to learn as an assassin, but since Kurosanai was someone who was not fighting at his best currently she figured he was the perfect training dummy. He didn't seem like much of a husband. But then maybe he did if he wasn't so willing to harm her during a spar. It was hard to tell since this was the first time she had met and been told to fight someone like him. Someone who didn't use powerful ki techniques to take down foes, but mere physical strength generally. A lot of fighters had gone from natural born strength to throwing whatever kind of energy they could summon up within them in recent years due to the results of "Ground Breaking Science", fortunately, the AnAn or Andorran family had adapted somewhat and had taken to training in what was known by the legendary Krillen and Yamcha.
Sokidan, the technique made famous by Yamcha, was not something she knew yet, but was a good assassination technique that the family taught both sides of the family. Whether they trained in long range or short range combat since Sokidan needed both energy and physical prowess for it to work properly. The energy sphere of course went wherever the user commanded so quick hand and arm movements were essential. She kind of wished she had the energy to learn it now, but currently she had hit a snare learning useless techniques like Irome and more recently the Kiai thrown at Kurosanai. It seemed to have damaged his ears, but while she was still in the midst of her attack she found it had done her no other good then give her a this small window for a second strike with her Wolf Fang Fist. Weak attacks to her seemed the best thing for stronger, unsuspecting opponents and that was good since Kurosanai in her eyes currently matched that if he managed to survive the ear splitting scream.

Izanami watched with an expression of pleasant surprise as the girl charged forward at the reeling Kurosanai. Carla AnAn or Carla Andorran it would not matter she was the host of the legendary Pandora, which for so long had disappeared from the world for so long, this young girl had to think outside of the box until she was able to truly utilize the power that lie within her. What she did next, abandoning her swords to attack a downed opponent, was exactly what she would have to do. She adapted and took advantage of the situation. It may have been the Andorran assassin training, they were known for that after all or it may have been the development of a battle sense. Any fighter should have one but Izanami was not sure if Carla being so young would even have such a thing. But based on what she was seeing she did which boded well for her future with interacting with the Muzai clan.
“This girl may be better in battle than I thought,” Izanami mumbled to herself as her eyes continued to study
Kurosanai continued to reel from the screech. He had never encountered such a thing before and he would have to make note of such an attack for later on. Frankly he had expected her to start swinging her swords somewhat wildly trying to hit the prodigy of the Muzai. All that was happening though was that he was getting his ass handed to him by a preteen girl. Mozoku was never going to let him live this down if he ever found out about this little bout. As Kuro pivoted on his heel with his hand on the side of his head covering his ear he was once again expecting the girl to be standing across the little fighting pit with her swords drawn. He was very very wrong.
Carla Andorran was charging forward towards him, her swords lying back where she was standing, in a manner he once again had never seen again. The little girl first struck into his stomach which knocked the air out of his stomach a bit causing that great feeling suction appear. It was followed up by strike after strike to his torso and shoulders. A few even glanced off his face causing the room to spin even more. It all ended with a solid strike to the sternum again causing him to stumble backwards.
Normally the strikes would not have caused that much damage and Kuro would have probably been able to block the majority of them but due to been disorientated he just sat back and got hit by each strike. When he finally stopped retreating backwards he was breathing a little hard as he tried to get rid of that dreadful feeling of having the wind knocked out of him. His ears continued to ring from that damned screech as his eyes drifted upwards at the young preteen. His patience was starting to run out and was pretty tired of getting his ass kicked by this young girl.
“Damn it…I am starting to regret not kicking you with more force earlier…” Kurosanai mumbled as he locked on to Carla. He was ready for whatever she had next, and if she thought it would go as smoothly as before she was in for a surprise.

"Are we jealous of my technique, honey?" Carla asked as she continued to throw more palm thrusts into the disorientated Kurosanai's body. With each step forward and each attack of hers she attempted to lead him back up the stairs and inside the Muzai compound. Her words she hoped would throw him off balance even more since they had not agreed yet to become a couple officially. Sweat pored out of her forehead though as she let this kind of thought and shook her head a little to keep her red bangs out of her green eyes.
For a second she paused, after leading him to hopefully to the first step back inside the house, and switched up her technique. This time she would an Energy Sword in her left hand, extending her left arm out far to her side and allowing the red ki in her body to flow out and form a long two foot blade. She would swing it back in towards Kurosanai's neck and try to make the young man duck so as to force him to crouch on the ground. In case he tried to use this as an opportunity to counter attack she'd pull her right leg back and attempt to kick him in the chest or head.

Strike after strike came at the prodigy of the Muzai. Each one was getting clear past his guard and was forcing him to stumble backwards. It was embarrassing to have such a young girl handing Kurosanai his ass on a plate. Strike, attempted movement and then stumble. It was a weird pattern that continued to repeat itself over and over again. Forever stuck in a loop or at least that was what it felt like to the prodigy of the Muzai. There had to be some way to break this strange cycle, this strange block that seemed to be preventing him from moving forward. Then came the break that he needed, Carla stopped and jumped backwards. She focused her energy into her hand creating what looking like a sword onto said hand. It was something that he had never seen before but based on how the energy flowed through her arm and cut the air it would be best to avoid any contact. It was in that moment that it finally occurred to Kurosanai that the little girl actually threw in a taunt at him. It was not the greatest and frankly at the time it didn’t even faze him. Just shows how out it he actually was. The girl leapt through the air with energy blade in hand. Her movement was one that show cased her existing knowledge of the martial arts. Her leap was light and quick and her intent filled with deadly accuracy. There was no mistaking it the girl had the capability of becoming a great fighter one day. But the one thing that she was going to have to work on was that momentary break in the attack. If your enemy was off balance it was a time to strike harder and keep them down. Now Kurosanai had time to recover and he was not exactly in a great mood for being embarrassed in front of the clan leader. So as the girl descended through the air Kuro’s hand would shoot up and catch her just below where the energy was emitting from the arm. It would provide him enough time to shift his weight and throw a strong front kick to the chest that had enough force to send her flying back across the ring. He would quickly follow her with a barrage of kicks and punches waiting for her when she touched the ground again. It would end with a kick upwards underneath the chin that would send her flying through the air. It would be an opportune time to figure out how to fly before she crashed to the ground. If not then only a painful landing was in the little girl’s future.

Carla hoped to land her energy blade upon Kurosanai and end the fight. But in a surprising turn of events the Muzai prodigy caught her arm and caused her to come to a stand still. Yet this was not for long as he extended his knee and fired a kick into her chest. It really hurt Carla noted as she felt herself fly across the training ground back to the center ring. She managed to put her feet back on the ground as she flew through the air allowing her to skid to a halt, but had no chance to catch a breathe as Kurosanai rushed at her and barraged her with kicks and punches. She had to rid herself of her energy blade as she crouched into a tight ball and placed her forearms in front of her face to block his kicks. She now realized her opportunity to win was likely gone. Suddenly, a kick to the chin broke through her guard and without any way to stabilize herself she soared up into the air high above the facility.
Looking down at the earth she thought as she spotted the house's room and the ground with her eyes, "Which is less painful? Hard dirt or the roof." Her mind told her the roof so she aimed her body towards it and kept curled into a tight ball. Unless Kurosanai caught her at some point and time she was pretty sure she was about to make a forty to sixty foot drop through his lovely thatched roofing or boards. Whatever he had in place there she sure hoped he could insure it. The roofing only seemed to get closer as she fell faster and faster thanks to gravity and her only thought now was, "Let's hope I can insure myself for bodily damage. I've got no more Senzu Beans."

The girl took the kick to the jaw a lot harder than Izanami could have thought. Either Carla was slower than originally thought and was really just seizing on the opportunity that was granted to her by Kurosanai’s stupidity or Kurosanai was in need of more recognition. This young man had fought on a level that many could not have dreamed and he did perform well to bring the Muzai name to the galaxy. The drawback to this however was his fight against Adrien La’Moore. Something had happened that was not broadcast across the universe. Something occurred that only those two could see and the result was something that Izanami could have never imagined. The idiot fought like a man possessed and on an entirely different level. Perhaps there was hope for him but there would be a time and a place for that to occur. But right now this was the moment that Carla AnAn would have to prove her worth to Izanami and to prove why she deserved to carry the future children of the so scalled ‘Prodigy of the Muzai’. Izanami turned and spit from the side of her mouth at that statement. The name always made her sick to her stomach.
Kurosanai’s eyes tracked the girl as she began to plummet back down to Earth. He was waiting for her to recover somehow and to pull off a miracle. That moment came and passed quickly. Kuro’s heart sank as he watched the helpless girl falling faster and faster. Part of him, his battle instinct, which told him to take advantage of the situation, and then there was the part of him that told him to save her. It would only take a moment for him to do so. But for whatever reason his body didn’t move. Was it because Izanami was watching? Was it because he wanted to get some kind of revenge for the attacks earlier that caught him off guard? Her body was just about ten feet from crashing into the ground when Kurosanai moved. It was a quick surge of power that caused him to speed forward. At the last second with a snap of his foot Kuro launched off the ground with outstretched arms. He would snap Carla out of the air in an effort to save her from crashing into the ground. If successful he would catch her and slide to a halt before placing her on the ground and patting her on the head playfully. If not unfortunately the young girl would smash into the ground.
