  "Hey! Akira! Are you ready or what?" George would ask with a grin as he stood with in the 'underground dojo' of the hotel. No one really knew of this place save for the two and Robert...Since it was where their father, Allen Rosethorn, had developed his technique in secret.
At the moment George was merely dressed in some wind pants. His feet were tied with gauze, along with his hands and forearms. His hair was abit messier then usual but he didn't seem to mind. In fact he looked more excited about sparring.
"Hey! Let's place a wager. If you can beat me, I'll show you how to make a 'will' bullet!" he'd joke. He imagined Akira still didn't quite believe in the martial art since he had never seen him use it on the field except for when he was shooting with regular guns...
He was good at using hand to hand moves...But he didn't have enough faith in himself to do it unless it was an emergency it seemed.

Akira grinned as well as he walked about fifteen feet off from George. "Sure, George. You've got yourself a wager!"
Comical and in some ways carefree as he was, Akira was dressed a bit differently than George; a tank-top, bathing suit, blue-tinted sunglasses, and a pair of socks 'n slippers made up his attire. Certain elements of which would very quickly be discarded during the battle, but oh, well.
"Do I look proffessional?" He stuck out his tounge at his sparring partner.

George laughed," Yeah. Like a professional clown." he replied as he lifted his fists and got in a fighting stance.
Today he decided he'd use tae kwan do.
He bounced on the balls of his feet and did afew stretch kicks for exersize and then got still real fast, in his triangular right stance. He smirked as he waited for his friend to come forward.
"Come on~! I'm not gonna run to you all the time." He teased.

Akira chuckled and shook his head. He then swiftly removed his shades and threw them as far aside as he could, his personal parody to action hero movies. "As you wish!" (His standard catchphrase when messing around with George.)
A swift charge forward, and an attempted powerful jump-punch to the chest...he was basically convinced that it wasn't going to hit, but hey.

George grinned as he saw his friend bound forward with his jump punch and was quick to push his body off to the right with his left foot, so that he could turn to face his right side.
As his body turned his left leg lifted up to chamber, and his knee rushed right for Akira's stomach as he came rushing past after the launch of his jump.
If Akira's stomach hit George's knee his inertia would stop there as George slightly leaning into the move, but only just enough to add bite to the attack.
After the knee he would jump backwards and hop up and down on the balls of his feet again while waiting for Akira's next move if the attack connected.
"Hehe...Jumping at me? You sure that's a good idea? Doesn't seem like it'd end well."

That knee definitely connected. But all he really did was hunch over a bit, as well as let out one pained sigh. And then he grinned as he straightened himself back up...as if the grin had ever left his face anyhow.
"I was almost certain it wouldn't, but I was interested in seeing what might happen." He removed the slippers and tossed them out of the way. "But anyhow. Now I'll be more serious."
Swift charge forward yet again, sudden veer off to George's left...He'd attempt a square side kick, keeping his hands in a fighter's stance to prepare for whatever George might have to throw at him.

 George quickly slid around Akira's right, as he sent his right side kick towards George's stomach. The kick extended, he moved...This was so he could watch his friend as he attempted to pull back his leg.
Chancing his speed George, as he slid around to the right, dropped towards the ground as he rushed in that direction, while attempting to sling his own right foot for Akira's foundation left.
Bending his own left leg to lower his positioning to sling his right to the shin of Akira, he'd attempt to pull his foundation out from under him, by stepping into Akira and knocking him off balance with his rear hitting Akira's hip.
With this George would attempt to spin his body around, and send his elbow rushing for his chin.
Luckily George had not forgotten his foam/ cotton elbow pads.
"Ah. I see. Were you thoroughly entertained by the occurrence?" He laughed.
Just as fast as he'd attempt to perform the attack he'd pull back and get in his hopping right stance once again. This time held skip his way backwards five feet.
"Come on, Akira! What 're ya, asleep?"

[[In essence, since we're having someone new join us anyhow, I'd like it if we could start semi-fresh.
So let's just say Akira dodged all of George's attempts last post and leave it at that...And now the two are staring at each other from a distance, plotting their next moves. And doing whatever it is they do.
Perfect chance for entrance, and from now on I'm gonna try harder to let my mind grasp things.
If that's alright with you two?]]
Akira simply stuck out his tounge whilst he thought, keeping a close eye on his opponent.

"I know what it's like..." Ah...what the hell was she doing here? Hadn't she promised herself that she would step foot in this place. Well she was here, so might as well go ask why. Somehow, her brother talked her into coming to this...'place'. So he should know, right? Well...she came ready, just in case. She didn't know where she was going, so she didn't want to go with protection.She was young, and these streets were relentless...Plus.. This was Rosemary, afterall...Hell, she was glad that people believed her to be Akira's sister.
"Akira? Are you here?" She called, taking, slow, careful steps to make sure she doesn't miss anything."A-...kira?" Sounds....More like...people. Her ears picked up the sounds, drawing her eyes to them like bees to pollen. She stepped into the room, locking her eyes on the two males that seemed to be staring at each other.She didn't want to interrupt, but hey? What the hell?
"I'm here, Akira..."Her eyes would shift between the two males, becoming cautious. She had a faint idea to who the other was, but wasn't quite sure."So...What's going on?"She asked, placing her hands on her hips. "So, I will stand with every ounce of conviction I have." ~11/11

{I no longer know whether or not I'll come out of this with my life intact...}  That voice...Akira quickly turned towards the entrance, assuming George knew the fight was in pause mode.
He couldn't believe it. The most peaceful person he knew had indeed come...Ah, Asami. Standing there in the underground dojo where countless friendly battles and sessions of furious training had taken place. This was gonna be fun.
"Hey, sis!" He greeted cheerfully as he dashed over to meet her. "We were just having a practice fight...How are you?"_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _  {But at least, even if I die, I'll actually have lived.}

George turned to look towards Asami and Akira and smiled brightly," Ah so this is, your sister." He'd say as he'd return his stance to a neutral one and slowly made his way over to the two. His hands instantly went into the pockets of his wind pants.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Asami." He'd say with a nod," I'm George Rosethorn...Did you come to join us?"
He then paused and leaned off to the side to look behind her," If so. Danielle, you can stop hiding behind the door, now....You can be the partner of our guest."

 =========   Dani sighed deeply as she slipped easily out from behind the door. George had probably known that she was there the whole time, watching the two men fight. She was a bit embarrassed at being caught, but stood there, staring at the ground, one arm hiding behind her back, holding the other one's elbow. She heard his words and an empty smirk spread across her face. After years without showing emotion, it appeared that she didn't have any. They were just locked away tight. "But is it fair to have the two of you against the two of us?" The two girls were smaller, and probably not nearly as skilled, but one never knew what people could do when faced with a challenge.
Her smirk widened as she crouched down on the ground, still watching the three of them with care. This was just who she was, and it was easier to seem small then it was to seem large. Another use for this was so that her opponents would more then likely underestimate her, and therefore the fighting got much easier for the defender. This was going to be fun, whether they lost or won.

"I know what it's like..."Asami didn't look cheerful at all...She seemed to be more dull, actually. Her eye even twitched."Hey sis? I was worried about you because you suddenly wanted me to come here! All you want to do is say hi?!" Geez! She looked really irritated, poking her finger into his chest." And what are you wearing?! God...."She gave a sigh, giving up, already. It's just the kind of person he was.
"I said I'd never come here..."She muttered under her breath, anger dissolving. No use being mad...she should've known better.She just tugged on her jacket to release some of that anger.
"I'm fine. Excluding the fact that my brother is an idiot." Her arms folded, giving him a disappointed face."But....I'm guess I'm happy to see you're alright." There...all gone. She really was a peaceful person, so she couldn't help a smile, even if it was small. She may have been mad, but he was alive...so she was okay. She really didn't want to lose the last one to the same thing.
"Hm.." Then there was this other one...at least he had manners to introduce himself.Mind as well look more sane than her brother. So she presented herself, accordingly." Akira's mentioned you.George Rosethorn? Very nice to meet you." A returning nod."Uh...Join you? I was just told to come. I know nothing about this." She said, blinking as she was already assigned a partner.Does she even know how to fight?"Huh? B-But...ugh..."How did she get dragged into this again? She just put her hand on her head.Damn her brother...."I think he means me against you...." "So, I will stand with every ounce of conviction I have." ~11/11

{I no longer know whether or not I'll come out of this with my life intact...} Oh, yay. Akira always LOVED this part. Having his sister give him a mini-lecture...And in front of friends, no less? Heh...Well, he'd more or less expected this today. This was Rosemary, after all, and it was crystal clear to him that Asami did not approve of him working here. Much less of her having to step foot in here.
His only real response to her tone, words, and actions was a show of annoyance on his face via a raised eyebrow and loss of any happy features to his expression.
When good ol' younger sis cooled off, he offered her a medium-length hug. "...I don't really know what the partner arrangements should be, if we're to have partners at all, and...I'll admit that this was my real reason for asking you to come as opposed to visiting you again. To see just how you've lately developed as a fighter first-hand and let you see how I've developed as well, yet in the safest setting possible."
An underground dojo in which he was perfecly welcome screamed 'safest setting possible' to him...
Brace for impact, he told himself. He didn't really know how she'd take this...Especially since she probably didn't agree with him on the definition of safe settings.
