It's a beautiful day at the Butterfly Mansion, and Aoi has just cleared you for training again. Flexing your arm, you draw your katana. What relief to be able to feel its weight in your palm again.

"One...Two..."

The swings come naturally, and you breath a sigh of relief. However unlikely, a part of you had feared you'd have forgotten all your katas. It feels good to train again.

You had just set your mind on 900 instead of your usual 1000 swings, when all of a sudden the sun stops shining. "Wha..." You look up, and a boy drops from the sky right onto your head.

"AGH-" You stumble back, blade raised. Your ears are ringing with the force- Your first instinct is to swing, and the blade is at his neck when you stop yourself. it's...Inosuke, hanging from a branch.

"Hey, get out from under my tree!" He demands, not seeming to realize he's basically concussed you. "I almost hit ya!"
