Katsumi was awake and dressed earlier than normal. She hated being in enemy teritory, having a hard enough time to sleep as it was. She growled to herself as she pulled on her short boots, easily enough to walk around in. She found a note on her side table that she was to meet Ikovi today, as if on cue there was a small knock at her door. "Yeah yeah, I'm coming."
She growled a bit louder, she hated to be in a position where she was pretty much useless. So used to having the safety of her faithful whip at her side. Now there was nothing. She reached the door and stepped out, closing it behind her and waiting for the guard to take her down to Ikovi waited for her. She was itchy to get started, but perhaps it was the clothing she was in. She wasn't used to anything aside from her own clothing. It was a shame she had lost her own. Now she had to were some clothing that Ikovi's wife has found. She dreaded the matter in training with it. She figured it would slow her down and make her look bad in front of the guys. Not that she cared in the least what they thought about her and her methods, but it was the matter of her dignity.
As they walked she looked around, trying to note down every place they passed. She wanted a map in her mind just in the case of an emergency. Though having her weapons back would be wonderful too. Even so she wasn't completely useless as she looked. She still had a few tricks up her sleeves. After all she was a devil, she grinned at the thought. Hoping the area wasn't too far off.

((OOC:Alright I'ma GM here a bit, but not much, just to get things moving in the direction they need to go))
Ikovi perked up a bit when he heard the door open, he flipped the blade outward and held it carefully in his hand. Time to put her skills to the test...
Katsumi walked in, escorted by two guards, whom saluted him and took their leave, closing the heavy iron door behind them with a havy rasp. Katsumi was looking around, taking in her surroundings and looking, well fairly pissed. Obviously she wasn't a very disciplined or grateful little girl. Oh well, lets she how she reacts.
Ikovi brought the pocket knife up in one swift motion and tossed it, it wasn't as nice a throw as some of the other people under Ikovi's employ, but it still flew straight. Straight for Katsumi's right ear, not close enough to kill her but enough to cut the ear open...

(Of course, have at it! You know more where this is going anyways.)
Katsumi stood still, her senses at the top of their game without being protected, only she didn't expect what came next. She heard the sound of a blade piercing the air, aimed straight at her. She blinked and in a split second jumped out of the way, more or less it was graceful. Not perfect by any means, but it got her out of the way.
She looked up, as the blade that was for her slammed into the door. It would have stuck should the door have been wooden. She blinked and followed the path it took, leading her to lay eyes on Ikovi, alright now she was pi**ed. "What the h8ll'd you do that for?" She growled at him, already heating up on the inside.

((OOC: Actually I don't know where it's going, I'm completely blageing it. It's just you move very slooooowwwwwlllllyyy))
Ikovi smiled, so she kept her temper, hadn't rushed straight for him.
"Good, but not perfect." began Ikovi rising from his seat "A spy hides among her enimies, calling them her allies. Therefore a spy must always be prepared to be attacked by ones allies. You understand?"
((OOC: Also, this is going to get, well dialoguey))

(Haa ha, you think so? Well if you move too fast where's the fun in the rp? Lol, eh it can't be helped)
Katsumi growled, she was ready to lunge at him, but unfortunatel she knew where he was coming from. Shall she attack the blood suckers she would look like what she was. Not a bloosucker for one. Then again, if they were on the same side why in the world would they attack her? She wasn't sure she could keep her cool if that be the reasoning behind it... purely fun and games.
She glared at him as she corrected her posture and walked over towards him. "Alright then, Mr. Know it all... what else do you wish to tell your student?" She asked a bit sarcastically, as she tried to calm herself back down. Absentmindely she peered around to see if she could find her own weapons, though knowing full well that they would be stupid to place them underneath her nose.

"Yes, in fact I did" said Ikovi, straightening his clothes after standing up, and systematically pulling two more knifes "Today I will throw three knifes. I will not tell you when, I will not give you warning. Don't worry, I'm here so you should survive any significant injury, but consider them to be fatal, even if you only get a scratch from them" Ikovi waved the pair of blades and then slid them back inside his coat.
"Anyway, where do you feel you are strongest, in anything related to spy-work that is..."

Knives? Wonderful, just something else to worry about. She thought as she looked around a bit more then stopped watching the placement of the knives into his jacket. She would have to watch for those, only it'll be quite difficult shall he be behind her the entire time. She thought it over a bit more before taking one more step forward and stopping.
"Strongest?" She maulled it over in her mind, Spywork.... never really done anything quite like it before. Then again... She remembered that one time she had been sent on a difficult journey to recieve information on Mother Nature. It wasn't as much failure as she thought, she had gained valuable information on her. Though her father at the time more or less wasn't happy. That was around the time her mother came to her senses and killed him. She shrugged, as she came back facing him. "Well I'm not saying I'm awesome in the matter, but spying almost comes natural for a devil of my status." She grinned, sure she was over bragging, but she wasn't about to be shown up by Ikovi. "What did you have in mind persay?"

Ikovi sighed, he was going to have to drag this out of her wasn’t he “I meant along the lines of what specific area, information collection, concealment, sabotage, propaganda, stand alone tactics, survival, seduction?” asked Ikovi raising his eyebrows, surely she was good at one of those.
Ikovi paused as he waited for her answer. I just told her I was going to be throwing knifes at her all day and she's had no noticeable change in attitude towards me, who is she used to being with? Perhaps she is already a spy, chances are slim, but they are crafty, and I don't dare doubt that someone somewhere wants me dead very badly. Hmm, if she does try to kill me there is always that...

Katsumi watched him as he sighed, she clearly hadn't given him the right answer. She frowned, heck waht was she to know what he was looking for. She shifted her weight to her left side and place a hand on her hip. She had to let out a small laugh, "Heh, your speaking of those sorts then? Well as a female devil we do posses beauty that's not from this Earth, my father used to use me in matters of seduction for his opponents. Being a human in the Netherworld he had a clear disadvantage. Umpteen times he set me up in arrange marrages... all until I knocked some sense into my mother and she killed him. Dam* woman." She muttered under her breath.
"Otherwise, I was sent on a few trips of my own to recieve information. Used by the Lord himself a few times." She said proudly. "Though I may not be perfect in pumping for information, I sure know how to take over a place." She paused, "In other words, my beauty comes in handy, my size for tight spots, and I'm very good in fitting into about just any situation." She looked him over, "Anything else oh high and mighty master?" She asked in a bored tone.

Ikovi sighed again, typical spies "So just seduction, how crude, anyway it seems I'm going to have to teach you how to use this" said Ikovi and he pulled a small paper package from his formal jacket of what looked like clay.
"This, Katsumi, is C-4, and this is a primary tool in sabotage, I will teach you how too use this properly over the next few weeks" Ikovi set the C-4 on the table and reached inside his coat again "This is a single-shot concealable pistol, 9mm" said Ikovi as he handed her a tiny, compact and girly looking gun.
Ikovi reached inside his coat yet again, pulling, this time, out a arrowhead looking blade as long as his palm "This is a throwing knife, or whatever crazy name you want to call it" Ikovi handed this to her too.
"And lastly, this one here is a completely infeasible weapon that will never win you a fight with anyone along the lines of my brother, or a vampire" and Ikovi pulled out a long black whip, and set it on the table.

Katsumi sighed, Can't please this guy can you? She shook her head, she wasn't in for all of this so called training that he had in mind for her. Heck even the Netherworld was looking better than this. No matter the case... I have to stay I suppose. Still no knowledge of how to break out of here, more or less they would probably kill me if I did escape. She thought to herself as she looked around once.
Her eyes adverted back to Ikovi as he started to pull things out of his coat once again, Sheese, what else can he fit in there? She thought as he handed her a few things, and rested a whip onto the table infront of the two. She looked over her weapons and then back up at him. "You want me to use this stuff instead of my basic charm and terms of fighting? Clearly I was no match for your brother, but that doesn't mean I'm useless... you know." She said looking more annoyed now then ever.
He was underestimating her and it bothered her, but maybe it was best he did. Maybe if he never knew her full potention then maybe she would be safe from harm after all. However those filthy bloodsuckers did have abilities much like her own. She bit her lip, so what was she to do? Follow this human? Or fall back on her own strengths? She bared her fangs in her frustration to decide what she would do, in the end coming up quite empty.

"Yes, your not useless" began Ikovi rolling his eyes "But you must realize that in addition to your own skills in combat you must also add the weapons qualities, for example, you tried to take on Salanim with a whip. Even if Salanim hadn't been a trained killer, and just some fool with a gun he would've still had a large chance of winning, based simply on the power of the weapon. But if you had known how to use some of these types of devices it would've evened the odds on that fight" Ikovi strode over and picked up a sheathed saber and a large rifle from a table.
"If you had met Salanim with this blade rather than that whip in a closed quarters fight you would've been able to block his attacks much easier, and had you had this rifle you would've been able to kill him before he had even got within range with his weapon. But having the most powerful weapon doesn't always win the fight either, you have to know how to use, and sometimes it is determined by how many weapons you can carry, outlasting an equal opponent or being prepared for anything..."

Katsumi blinked, A lecture already? Wonderful, this is going to be a long day. She sighed as she tried her best to listen to everything he had to say, somehow most of it made sense to her. Though she knew for a fact that learning something new in such a short amount of timewouldn't be easy. With her super hearing skills the guns would probably hurt if she should use them. She was better with long range attacks, but it seemed to her she would need to learn close range attacks as well.
She looked back up to Ikovi, "Can I ask you a question?" She asked wondering where her seriousness came from, "Do you prefer long or close range attack methods better?" She asked after she had his attention, she knew everyone was different but maybe better off to know one just as much as the other.
She paused awaiting his answer as she lifted the knife that she held and looked it over, she was curious to learn something new and master it before she needed to be used.. but even so. She kind of just wanted to go back home, she frowned at the thought. That's not like me, I need to get out... see the world. She smirked, Or not..

Ikovi looked at her, her having interrupted his lecture, but Ikovi wasn't annoyed, it let him know that she was listening "Well I don't actually engage in any real fighting. But I do specialize in explosives and demolition, so you could say that I am a long range fighter" said Ikovi after thinking for a second.
"I'm just going to explain the basics of all of this, I have much better teachers at my disposal. You'll learn a variety of skills from them, the idea is not to specialize in anything for you, but rather to be able to hold your own in any type of fighting. Understand?"

Katsumi listened and nodded her head slowly, So he's just going to pass me around then? Sheese, so much for thinking he would be the one to teach me everything there is to know. She sighed, least she knew what his specialty was now... that information may come in handy later on down the road. She would have to keep that in mind as she trained under him.. or whomever.
"Basics are for those who don't know a thing about war and fighting. Less you should know I may not be on your level but I do know a thing or two." She said a bit irritated now. She didn't want to go back to those stupid days where she learned the basics of her footwork, and timing.. and everything else that came natural to her. Sure she wasn't great, but she was far from uneducated in the matter.
