[dice=6] Jill held up her sword and managed to block it, but she was still surprised how fast Tails was.[rand=557440213729172412677036437803968390440594034644713918655852225725]

Still, he didn't relent. " Kote!" He quickly swung at her left wrist; thankfully, if he were to land a blow, the protective gear encompassed enough space on their bodies to ensure that neither of them could really get hurt.

"ACK! even if they couldn't get injured, it still hurt when he hit her wrist and she jumped back a bit defensively.

" Do!" Then he swung against the right side of her torso; again, armor would be in place to keep injuries from happening. Metal had been thorough in designing these. [dice=9][rand=23218404270175197275600018861245332623081700189466682283262399606]

[dice=6] She managed to block that one, and she decided to start trying to hit him back, aiming a jab of her hilt at his middle. [dice=13][rand=97908163337630779450895316574055966144853115972521710516897453225]

"Guh!" Taking that hit, he staggered back a bit... "...no, no, that's a foul spot." He rubbed his head as he looked at Jill. "I probably should have mentioned... in kendo, you can't hit your opponent anywhere but the top and sides of their head, their wrists, the sides of their torso, or jabbing at their throat." All of these areas were especially protected in contrast to the others. "Just something to keep in mind..."

"Oh, I see...sorry," Jill replied. She started to giggle. "You're not supposed to break rules Ms. Jill." "I know. I just hadn't known the rules in the first place," Jill muttered sheepishly.

"Don't worry. I guess I was a bit too eager to get started, I forgot to mention that." With a slight shrug, he assumed a stance again. "Alright... men!" And once more, he swung against Jill's head; this time, though, going for the side. [dice=9][rand=93917324571744623704466337342245022518542403975445491695696447931]

That one hit Jill, again, taking her by surprise, but in keeping with the rules, she aimed for his side. [dice=13][rand=0214873417089862587306314631298470816899488608975314331619975576426]

[dice=9] When she swung, Tails swung his sword to strike her blade away. " Tsuki!" With that cry, he thrust his sword forward to strike the throat-part of Jill's head protector. [dice=9][rand=873420674348668429558902073010573567790502791812506824879349457125]

It hit hard enough for her to stumble back and cough a bit, holding her throat. "...that's rough," she croaked.

"Ooh, sorry..." Tails uttered, rubbing his head a little. "...but, uh... I think that counts as three points." He rubbed his chin a bit too. "If I'm not mistaken, kendo-matches tend to give points for each successful hit against any designated area... and if you get three points, you win."

She smiled. "I guess that means you win that match then." "Yay! Tails won!" Cream cheered with a few more giggles. "Chao!"

Tails rubbed his head. "Phew... I guess I got it a little down."

"At least you know what you're doing, and have the advantage over me because of that," Jill hummed. "...but I'm not sure how these techniques will work in real situations."

Tails breathed out. "...well, you saw the kind of speed that was needed to get those strikes in, right?" he remarked. "Aiming for those seven areas... those are ideal areas to strike, I find..." He rubbed his head a little. "That's just the kendo stuff, too. Iaido would allow for even faster strikes just by drawing the sword out from the sheath..."

"I bet Mr. Sonic will be really impressed with what you're doing Tails!" Cream said, smiling.

"...I sure hope so." Tails noted with a light laugh. "He's not too keen on weapons, I know... but I figure he'll be glad to see me out of my slump."

"What IS he doing anyway?" Jill muttered. "Metal said it was some sort of...'circus act'?"

"...oh, he's gone off to put on a superhero play." Tails replied.

"Oh, so it wasn't an actual circus...act..." Jill had to stop and think about that for a minute. "...they're...putting on a superhero play?" "For really poor children over at Cascade," Cream said. "...but that's as much as I really know, since Mama said that I shouldn't really know any more since I'm not a part of it." She blinked. It was just weird to think about in reality.

"...but if it's a play...why aren't you part of it?" Jill asked Tails curiously.

Immediately, Tails looked away. "...it's part of what I don't want to talk about..."

"...I see," she muttered. "...I understand. I'm sorry if I asked about it."
