Weights training T1: 35 Rps in total
<p>
Ikki takes out the light weights that Jango gave him and wears them on his ankles. Ikki begins to move his legs trying to make his body used to the new extra weight, he everyday has carried Mikasa on his shoulders so an extra weight was not a problem. "Hey stranger..what's your name?" {1}
<p>
Ikki begins to run to the wall of the village and using it as support of his legs Ikki performs an acrobatic jump like he was trying to dodge an enemy attack and reacting to it shooting an arrow. "Hey Tendaji this makes me wonder, do you know any technique that I could use to reach high places more quickly and easily? That way I will have terraing advantage against an enemy." {2}
<p>
Ikki watches how Tendaji very easily walks on vertically on the wall of the village like some kind of spiderman. "W..Wow...and you told me that with that technique you can walk on water too?" Ikki is a little nervous because he is a little afraid of fall down and injury himself. He swallows saliva and decides to take the risk. {3}
<p>
Ikki takes out a his tanto and throws it to Crathen. The tanto will land in front of him. Looks like Ikki has good accuracy. "That's the only melee weapon I have. I lend it to you this fight" Ikki grabs the Katana/Mikasa on the grip and begins to swing it slowly trying to Mikasa get used to the movements. Ikki can feel the light weights making the movements of his legs a little more slow. "Hey Akatsuki...can I talk with Mikasa with my thoughts?" {4}
<p>
Ikki feels how the essence/chakra of Mikasa run across his muscles, nerves, brain. Ikki tighten his grip on Mikasa a little more, he essence was unstable and he could feel it. Ikki continues his assault against Crathen dodging his attacks. Using his innate sense Ikki pays attention to the essence of his opponent and the essence of Mikasa. {5}
<p>
notices how his opponent was able to partially dodge his attack and then was trying again to shoot him that lightning techniaue. Ikki worried about the lightning attacks that could touch Misaka, he throws her to the air to avoid she getting hurt and then Ikki begins to dodge the projectiles like Neo in the movie 'Matrix'. <Mikasa can you use that thing that makes me more faster?> {6}
<p>
Ikki was getting more and more used to the combat style of his opponent. He just need a few more minutes to make his eyes get used to his movements. Once Mikasa in her sword form is falling, Ikki will grab her and attack with style aiming to his opponent torso. <Sorry for throw you to the air, but I cannot let that shit touches you, looks dangerous> {7}
<p>
Ikki takes a deep breath, he feels his feets more heavier because of the light weights on his ankles. He wonders if he could 'dance' while the weights are making his movements more slower. Ikki adopts a basic combat stance tighting his grip just a little more he was a little nervous. {8}
<p>
Ikki feels how Mikasa essence/chakra/senses begins to connect with his body, his muscles, nerves, brain, bones. It was a little painful because of the condition of the overwhelming essence/chakra of Mikasa. But Ikki only smiles to her inside his mind, he do not care about the pain, be able to share this bond with Mikasa is enough for him {9}
<p>
Ikki begins to move his body fluidly while he holds the katana on his hand, The katana would follow his movements but after some seconds he will notice how Mikasa in her katana form was able to move by herself too. Ikki smiles and inside his mind he says: <"Even in the form of a sword...Mikasa can be a beautiful sword, too.."> then he will remember that Mikasa was able to read his thoughts and he would try to joke <Haha..I..I'm kidding> *blushes* {10}
<p>
Ikki keeps moving very slowly while he wields the katana/Mikasa. He was dancing with her and he would do it all day if it was necessary. Ikkis feels his feets more slower because of the constant use of his light weights. He had not the chance to rest after the training combat. {11}
<p>
Ikki remembers the promise that he made to Mikasa when they were kids, the kind of promise that after many years could maybe mean nothing, but for Ikki means everything. He promised to protect her because he always was in love of her. He begins to have a flashback of when they were kids running across the village in chugoku holding her hand, this memories make him smile. {12}
<p>
Ikki begins to move more faster and spin like he was dancing with her a song that was getting more faster. Ikki lets Mikasa to guide him and his movements after all she was the one that has to use the techniques, he was just his guardian the person that have to give his life if its necesary to protect her. {13}
<p>
After some seconds Ikki would slow down the tempo of their dance waiting for Mikasa do what her cousin wants to see. Ikki would relax his grip when he sees how Mikasa begins to create some kind of protective sphere around him. He feels the pain that Mikasa was feeling in that moment he knows her too well. Inside their thoughts Ikki would hold Mikasa's hand and would smile at her showing her that he was there at her side and that she can share her pain with him. <You dont have to deal with this alone. I'm here and I will find a medic that will heal you> {14}
<p>
Ikki nods and grabs Mikasa by her waist and sits her on his shoulders as usual. Ikki begins to walk towards the restaurant that he discovered with fancy food. The weight of Mikasa and the light weights that her is wearing in her ankles would be agood physical training for him too. {15}
<p>
Ikki begins to stretch his legs, arms and neck to warm his muscles. The light weights on his ankles would make this training more difficult but pretty sure he will get better results of it later. Ikki begins to pay attention to the demonstration of his teacher and the movements of his body to perform the technique. {16}
<p>
Ikki would hold the training katana firmly and would start trying to imitate the movements of Jecht. He begins to attack with the training sword the air in front of him doing a straight downward strike. His attacks were not perfect and he knows it, so Ikki keep practicing with the training sword. {17}
<p>
The minutes passes and the drops of sweat begins to run across the face of Ikki, The weights on his ankles makes his movements more heavier and he requires to use more stamina on each attack. Ikki tries to keep a control of his breathing to reduce the fatigue. After some minutes Ikki finally finds the perfect balance of his body to be able to made a perfect straight downward strike. No has good as Jecht but he should be able to use it in combat. {18}
<p>
Ikki cleans the sweat from his forehead with his hand ,making the drops of sweat fall to the ground. Ikki keeps moving his arms and legs a little to keep his muscles warm. He was motivated and ready for the next technique, Mikasa has got stronger and he cannot fall behind or he will not able to protect her. {19}
<p>
Ikki focuses his golden colored gaze on the movments of his kenjutsu teacher. He notices that Jecht was spining his sword around his hand fast enough to create after images, luckily Ikki had a well trained sight so he is capable of see through the technique. Ikki keep his serious attitute and says: "Dont worry I cut myself already many times with the sword when I was a child that I learned how to wield it" {20}
<p>
Ikki begins takes a deep breath trying to relax the beating of hi heart and his breathing. This way he will have a better control of his hand and has less chances of make a mistake. Ikki begins to spin the sword around his hand using using his knuckles the sword was not moving fast enough to create the after images but at least he was not cutting his fingers in the process. "Tch.." {21}
<p>
Ikki flexes his legs a little to have a better balance of his body, he feels how the muscles of his legs hurts because of the extra weight of the light weights on his ankles that he has been wearing all day. Ikki after many attemps finally begins to spin the sword around his hand faster and faster until he finally is capable of make his training sword create the after images. {22}
<p>
Ikki begins to gasp a little, learn so many techniques is not something easy. Drops of sweet begins to fall from Ikki's chin and hair he feels his hair a littl wet because of the sweat but his golden colored gaze is still full of determination, his desire to protect Mikasa keep him working hard. <Mikasa has trained hard and she is sick...I have not excuse to stop now> {23}
<p>
Ikki heards the instruction of his kenjutsu teacher, looks like Jecht wants from him to do this technique perfectly. Ikki will pay attention to the demonstration of Jecht and how he moves his sword and the wrist of his hand to change the direction of his attack. Ikki was able to follow his movements thanks to his trained sight. {24}
<p>
Ikki tightens his grip on the training sword and gets in position ready for his first attempt. Ikki moves his training sword horizontaly through the air and then he tries to only using the wrist of his hand to change the direction of his training sword but sadly he moves his arm a little in the process and does it wrong. <tch..I did it wrong> {25}
<p>
Once again Ikki gets in position flexing his legs a little and trying to keep a control of his breathing. He does not know a combat stance so his actual combat stance is basic and full of openings. Ikki strikes the air in front of him with his training sword. His movements are a little slower because of his light weights but he is capable of change the direction of his attack only using the wrist of his hand. Once he finishes the technique he gasp a little more while he cleans the sweat from his face. {26}
<p>
Ikki reads the scroll then he nods and grabs Mikasa by  her waist. Ikki  will sit Mikasa on his shoulders very gently  and  will  walk towards the training grounds. The weight of the light weights in his ankles and the extra weight of Mikasa on his shoulders was the perferct training for him right now. " Time  to  train  Mikasa.  Looks  like  Akatsuki  expects  a  lot  of  you. "  *smirks*  {27}
<p>
Ikki ruffled her hair while he smiles towards her in an affective way, then he grabs her and sits her on his shoulders. Ikki begins to walk towards the square feeling how the weight of Mikasa and the weight of the light weights that he is using on his ankles makes his movements more slower, he knows that this was the best training her can do to make his body get used to the extra weight. {28}
<p>
Ikki laughs in a friendly tone while he smile towards her and he says in cheerful tone: "Oh...a tough girl...lets go Mikasa I will love see you doing push-ups" Ikki would grab Mikasa by her waist and will carry her on his shoulder like a sand bag. Ikki is still wearing the light weights on his ankles while he walks towards the village garden. {29}
<p>
Ikki *sighs* He knows that look, Mikasa wants him to train too. Ikki would get in position to begins his push-ups. He feels the weight of the light weights on his ankles but this wa snot going to stop him. Ikki begins the push-ups: "One, Two, Three, Four, Five" Ikki continues doing that for some seconds until he completes the first round of push-ups. fifty push ups in total for him. " See. Its not that bad, right?" {30}
<p>
gets in position to start the second round of push-ups. Ikki begins to push and pull himself up and down of the ground. While he does this he sometimes would turn his gaze towards Mikasa to watch her. Even when she was not in her best mood, for Ikki she was so cute. He says in cheerful tone: "You are doing it well Mikasa, remember that if you feels that your muscles are burning, that means the execise its working" {31}
<p>
Ikki chuckles about the comment of Mikasa and answers: "When I was a kid, I promised you to protect you...but I was not like you, I never had potential to do the things that you do...So that's why I decided to train my body. That way I could protect you of any bullie that would try to hurt you" Ikki was doing a lot of push-ups while he was speaking, he feels how the muscles of his legs and arms hurts a little because of the weights that he is wearing. {32}
<p>
Ikki stands up feeling how his body as start to sweat because of the intense training. He begins to jog with Mikasa letting her go in front. He would hear her silently, she sounds serious about what she is saying. Ikki close his fist with frustration when she talks about her sickness. Ikki would say with determination "Dont say that again Mikasa. We are going to heal you, I refuse to accept that. I been asking around for a medic and Akatsuki mentioned someone that could tell me where to go." {33}
<p>
Ikki begins to jog much more faster to reach Mikasa and jog at her side. He starts to feel his legs more heavier because of the light weights, but he is capable of follow the pace of Mikasa. "Mikasa, you are not a tool or a weapon thatis destined to be used by someone. Everyone is mistaken about that. The members of the Shikki clan are the ones that choose the person that they want as companion. I never decided to be your friend because of your last name" {34}
<p>
Ikki would grab Mikasa's hand to stop her a moment and make her look at him. Ikki was gasping a little because of the training and he feels how the muscles of his legs hurts. "Even when you can transform into a weapon. I know that you are capable of kick someone's ass with your other abilities. You dont need to transform into a weapon to be the incredible girl that you are. You are one in one million Mikasa. Dont forget that" {35}
