Così Ci Incontriamo Di Nuovo. [Joint Training]

[Hebika Nara]

Hebika was quite surprised when the fullbringer quite simply began to weigh down on them with their spiritual pressure, that sudden tension in her body making her wince slightly as a slow smirk spread across her lips, leering down at Shizuka as the both of them struggled. The pressure was enough to hurt considerably, and she felt as though her bones, or rather Shizuka's bones, were about to break. Which she could heal, but she hardly figured they would appreciate them having to do so over a spar. 


She considered her options, specifically she considered simply animating the groun beneath them into a sort of living second skin, one that might wrap around her and cover her from head to toe like a living suit, which would take the pressure from herself and releive the pressure from her own body. Theoretically. Though at the moment with Shizuka firmly in her lap and with both of them in a bind, she began to simply let lie the propect of trying to prove that she was stronger. OR rather, more.....adaptive? She didn't exactly use her strength to fight after all.

That being said she knew that Shizuka had a multitude of means with which to release herself, it was simply the fact that Hebika was using her body that was the primary issue here. Were she in her gigai it was entirely possible tht Shizuka would have simply burst from her containment, likely injuring Hebika in the process, so she conceded to the far superior woman's pressure and that living viper simply slithered away, rippling and dispersing into nothing before the both of them, leaving the pair of them in a sweaty, heaving mess ontop of one another.

Despite the pain that no doubt would come to her as a result of the pressure finally beign lifted, blood that had been kept from reaching the rest of her by that pressure would suddenly begin flowing again, and she winced at the pain itself. She'd have t keep an Eye on Shizuka later, no doubt also generate a suitable entity to heal the woman if she had any extensive injuries. It would certainly do her no good if her human went and kicked the bucket on her. Not that she figured this would.

Glancing up at Shizuka, a smile spread across Hebika's face, a playful little look as she reached up, lightly giving the woman a poke in the shoulder as she relazed on the spot, not bothering to try to push the woman off of her as she spoke. "Call it a draw yes? I think this has been more than a fruitful endeavor don't you think?" She panted lightly, remaining where she was and resisting the urge to sit up, waiting for the blood distribution in her body to even out before she went rushing back to her feet, feeling a slight tingling everywhere as no doubt several part of her/shizuka's body had all but fallen asleep from the encounter.

" In any case, I think our little experiment worked quite well! If you ever feel lkike playing hookie you can let me know now eh?" she chuckled jokingly, or somewhat jokingly. Certainly the idea of being inside Shizuka's body was not an unpleasant one, and she was sure that with some tutoring she would be able to pass for the woman if they had obligations they wanted to pass onto the mod soul.

The snake around Shizuka's neck loosened its grip and set her free, allowing Shizuka to relax her body and go a bit limp as she grabbed her neck with her hands and started coughing. The snake disappeared before her eyes, and she freed her right hand to wipe away the tears that were automatically falling from her face in reaction to being strangled. She was surprised at Hebika for having such a good idea, knowing Shizuka would be hesitant to attack her own physical body. Still, their spar proved beneficial for the two of them because she had never experienced fighting herself before, of course. It was interesting to see where her weaknesses would be as the situation changed over time.

Shizuka lifted her Gravitational Pressure and gave Hebika a breather, as well. She knew her serpentine friend was thankful, too, because she could feel her body relax itself after the pressure was gone. Shizuka started taking deep breaths as the pain around her neck subsided, thankful to have that snake off of her. She felt a light poke on her shoulder as she glanced down in Hebika's direction, returning the smile that she saw coming from the woman. It appeared to be difficult for her to recover, but Shizuka wasn't surprised. Being almost crushed could seriously damage a person, no matter who it was. A great amount of resistance would be needed in order to try to fight back against it and that alone has its own costs.

"Call it a draw, yes? I think this has been more than a fruitful endeavor, don't you think?"

"A draw, huh?" Shizuka grinned. "We could probably do that. I'm a bit tired and you'd have beaten me, anyway."

The Fullbringer helped her Mod Soul friend to a seated position, hoping to get the blood flowing a bit more. She guessed that Hebika was feeling a bit tired and light-headed from the lack of blood flow, so she did her best to make her friend as comfortable as she possibly could. Resting Hebika's body against her own, Shizuka held on to Hebika's shoulders and steadied her as she began to help her friend slowly stand. Shizuka wouldn't have minded carrying her either, but Hebika needed to be able to operate her limbs. Shizuka worried briefly about any possible injuries she may have, especially since she was feeling a bit beat up at the same time. She wasn't very sure about how injuries worked when she was expelled from her physical body.

"In any case, I think our little experiment worked quite well! If you ever feel like playing hooky you can let me know now, eh?"

"Of course! Maybe next time, we'll spar with your gigai. It feels weird being out of my body for too long, and I'm not really sure how well the extended separation would go. It's a good thing this was only a quick fight and nothing majorly important, but this kind of thing could have a ton of great uses in the future."

Shizuka got Hebika standing again and brought her slowly into the house and back up to her room where her gigai form stayed in a sleep-like state on the bed. Holding Hebika's left arm around her neck to give her support, Shizuka gently let her sit on the bed. Admittedly, she had no idea how she was supposed to get back into her own body. She didn't want to risk losing Hebika's pill anywhere in her room and have it accidentally picked up, but she didn't know how to transfer it from body to body like Hebika did. She thought that maybe Hebika could transfer herself back into her own body and then Shizuka would possess her physical self again like a ghost, but she was so confused.

"Uh, right. Um... How do we get us back to normal again?" Shizuka said with a slight laugh.

She felt silly but there was nothing she could do about it.

[Hebika Nara]

Hebika quirked a brow slightly in response to the woman's comments, a chuckle escaping her lips through her fingers as she covered her mouth, amused at the woman's concern. Though she knew it was probably strange being outside her body, so she rose to her feet, alowing Shizuka to lead her back to her body. Of course she knew exactly how to get back, pausing when Shizuka actually piped up and asked her. 


Briefly she simply stared, as if to wait for her to come to the conclusion on her own before a soft giggle escaped from her again, lightly reaching up, running her fingers through her own/shizuka's blonde hair for a moment, admiring the form she had so borrowed for the time being, allowing Shizuka to be left in suspense as she did a quick little once-ocer the woman's body, checking for injuries and 'inspecting' herself to ensure the muscles were working properly, no tenderness in the bones or joints. 

Once she identified the most pressing of injuries, she simply expressed her spiritual pressure, briefly spiking her presence from zero to a hundred in a moment as she infused the shirt Shizuka had been wearing. Immediately it began to bathe the woman's physical body in green warmth as the wounds simply began vanishing, not bothering to change the form of the shirt as such was not needed. In the meantime she glanced at Shizuka, lightly clearing her throat as she opted to explain her plan of action to the fullbringer.

"Quite simply getting back will be the same as going in. Simply put, I'll simply 'wake' my sleeping form with a kiss. Metaphorically speaking. As before, I'll transfer the pill orally. From there you simply connect with your own body, it should come to you naturally to return to it. I'll keep your shirt infused, so that whatever injuries carry over from your spiritual body can be treated as soon as they appear on your physical one. I'll be back in my body and all will be set." She noted with an enthusiastic nod, waiting for the woman's response and verification that she indeed understood.

"Sounds like a plan to me!"

Shizuka was amazed at the healing capabilities of her friend and was quite jealous of the fact that it didn't take some huge sacrifice to use them. She had Hebika walk back to her own sleeping gigai and transfer the pill back so that Shizuka could have her physical body back. Once the pill was back in its own form again, Shizuka's body slumped down against the bed and she felt herself drawn back to the familiarity that it gave her. Shizuka's spiritual self expanded throughout her physical form as she took control of it once again, missing the weight of her own body. She didn't particularly feel light when she was separated, but it felt more as if she didn't know if she existed. Hebika could see her but she knew no one else could. It was weird.

Shizuka stretched herself out a lot and moved around, getting used to the binding feeling that returned to her as she stood. She started cracking basically every joint in her body and sighed, feeling extremely relieved. It felt good to be back, but the experience was interesting nevertheless. She wasn't sure if she was going to ever do it again, but the one time thing was worth it. She figured out her limits and knew what to avoid if she ever fought a Mod Soul again who wasn't Hebika. As interesting as it was, she wasn't terribly fond of being separated from her body for too long since it started to feel so weird. Still, Hebika had a lot of adaptability and she was a great match for Shizuka as a sparring partner.
