Kinto's eyes narrowed to the sight of blood, how he loved it. he shook his head quickly though, he couldn't get carried away, he was constantly battling himself to restrain his fury and violent temper.
the shot to his back threw him forward a bit and rattled him out of his craze, thankfully it didn't take much to realign his focus. "heh, good, you got one. that's not usually the first one to be hit." he laughed, he was at a slight disadvantage to smaller and quicker fighters. Kinto was primarily strength and brute force. he turned quickly and charged the smaller Saiyan with Ki filled fists. the back of his uniform was singed and the burn was already quite clear, but the sting only made him more excited.
"careful now brother..." Xinto mumbled as he watched, he didn't want to see his brother hurt the other Saiyan or be disappointed if she failed.

Kavado smiled to himself, pleased with the appraisal. He, himself, had good control over his instincts in that blood could excite him but not push him over the edge. He didn't have 'berserker' in his blood. Actually his stock were upper middle-class fighters, and his both dame and his sire had been ki fighters.
He did think Xinto's warning was a little strange and so he avoided Kinto's fists to the best of his ability, ducking left and right. The hits that went past his face and torso were powerful and Kavado knew that Kinto was hitting for real, so he decided to try and get the other two hits in as quick as he possibly could.
Waiting for the opportune moment, Kavado dropped down to his knees, something like as though he were playing 'limbo', his back level with the ground, and slapped his hand against the stomach-piece of Kinto's armor before curling into a ball and rolling out of the other's immediate range of attack.

Kinto stumbled forward again as his stomach was hit. damn, that was fast. though he was a great elite Kinto still had a bit of trouble controlling his temper. his mother was a bit of an extremest and his father was a pacifist. he probably spent too much time pissed off at his fathers incompetence and his mothers blind fury to analyze his own issues. still he had it well enough under control that he didn't start to get crazy until the blood started spilling. "Two out of three. Got one more in you?" he taunted, the loupes in his eye patch spun once.

"We'll see." Kavado chirped, obviously quite pleased and still up to the challenge. Only the face-shot left, and something told Kavado that this one would be the hardest. Being smaller gave Kavado the advantage that he could dart and maneuver himself about much quicker than Kinto could, but at the same time his arms and legs had a shorter reach than Kinto's did, and a cheap-shot like a ki-blast to the face would be both easy to dodge and disgraceful. He needed to get close enough to land a hit but find a way to avoid getting hit himself or at least take the least amount of damage possible.
Leaping back at Kinto, this time being the first one to initiate, Kavado threw a punch at the general. Kinto caught the fist easily however, and Kavado threw his left fist. Again, easily caught. "Grappling" wasn't exactly fair given that Kavado was smaller and physically weaker than Kinto, and so the pushing match ended up with Kinto pinning Kavado down on the mats. His tail and legs unable to reach, and his hands currently still inter-laced in a power-struggle against Kinto's, Kavado thought hard before straining to stretch his neck and shoulders out as far as he could, effectively 'kissing' the lower-left portion of Kinto's cheek--a fraction of an inch from the corner of his mouth--his lips and nose touching the only part of Kinto's face that he could reach.
'Hit!'

Kinto grinned wickedly as he pinned the smaller Saiyan down, peering down at 'her' and rather enjoying watching 'her' flail, unable to throw him off. surely he'd won. just then he felt a soft contact to his face that he couldn't describe. what the hell was she doing? Kinto's eyes shot wide open, he was frozen there for a moment. suddenly he backed up and stood up straight, adjusting his armor. " match is over, see you in the morning." he said as he quickly walked out the door, completely forgetting his cape and Xinto. 'cheat...what was that? what's wrong with me!?' he thought as eh marched himself back to his room.
"it's super effective!" Xinto cheered as he started to clap and applaud Kavado's victory. "I tell you what I have never seen him such a shade of red. he's never walked away from a loss like that, nor has he ever LOST to a kiss!" Xinto couldn't help but laugh at his brother. "he must be quite taken with you, I'm sure if anyone else tried that he'd say it didn't count." Xinto winked playfully as he walked over to offer the 'female' a hand up. "either way it looks like you made the team, congrats."

Kavado's eyes narrowed at Xinto as he sat up and collected himself, both surprised and embarrassed by the fact that it had worked.
"It wasn't a kiss." he protested, even though he took the hand that Xinto offered him. He patted his hands on the skirt around his waist, trying to straiten it out and then crossed his arms, shifting his weight onto one hip. "He didn't specify the rules before the match started. After the ki-blast counted I just assumed that I had to make contact with one of the three areas in any way possible. What else could I have done?"
Kavado felt like sticking his tongue out at the idea. He was used to guys hitting on him, and after 'being a girl' for so long, he had to admit that he found SOME things about guys attractive. The large forearms and strong muscles... he'd never really thought about girls that way because, well, he'd never really talked to girls before and he always had 'been' one, but he didn't like what Xinto was implying. He'd just met this guy, and Kinto was a general! Hurmph, he just wanted to get on the team, that was all.
"I don't even like boys."

Xinto nodded somewhat sarcastically "Uh-huh, yeah, and I'm not actually a saiyan. that looked like a kiss to me and I can tell at least one of you liked it." he rolled his eyes and gave kavado a playful, yet friendly smirk. " a ki blast and a kiss are two different kinds of contact m'dear." he said as he blew a chunk of his hair out of his face.
he suddenly made an 'urp' sound and threw Kinto's cape over his shoulder. "well, I assure you Kinto is no 'boy' but if you're THAT way I can understand it. but don't toy with him, he needs all the sanity he's got left." Xinto warned. turning then to leave and return the cape.

Kavada blushed, going completely red as he flailed spouting out after Xinto;
"It wasn't a kiss! My lips didn't even touch his!! And that's not what I meant!! Err, of COURSE I like "boys"!! I-I was kidding. Hey wait a second, will you listen? I wasn't trying to 'play' with him!" he protested loudly. Aw, man. What had he gotten himself into? He hadn't meant to say that out loud---if his mother found out about any of this he'd be dead, ESPECIALLY the bit about him 'not liking guys'.
"Aw, c'mon!"

Xinto leaned back in the door-way with a highly skeptical expression on his face, one brow raised as he tugged his mouth into a flat line. "You're quite a spastic thing, aren't you?" he asked after a second or two. " As long as we're clear, I'm going to be honest with you, and I expect the same from you." he warned as he started back down the hall to Kinto's quarters, without knocking he opened the door and started to fold the cape, Kinto had just stepped out of the shower and came out in just his towel. still fuming. "I have NEVER been so humiliated!" he grumped as he brushed past Xinto and started fussing through his drawer for a plain rusty orange shirt and a pair of loose black jeans. "oh come off it Kinto, you've got feelings for her, it's completely normal."
"NOT FOR ME" Kinto barked as he turned swiftly to Xinto and his towel fel to the floor, causing him to panic and clamber for it while Xinto just gave him a completely un-phased and flatlined look as he set the folded cape on the bed. "well, no, you've never been 'in love' before so I can't imagine you know what those butterflies mean."
"what butterflies!?" Kinto glared as he started to change after shoving Xinto's shoulder to make him turn around. the Younger brother sighed and shrugged his shoulders "that 'weird' feeling in your gut? it's called butterflies. when you're around someone that makes you feel like that they call it a crush." he explained in as simple terms as he could. "you've always been so focused on work I'm surprised you've taken so keen of intrest in such a sub-par female."
"DON"T TALK LIKE THAT!" Kinto spat, he wasn't even sure why the comment made him so angry. was he saying he was in love with an ugly girl? was it some kind of insult? he'd have none of it.
"see! you like her! otherwise that would not bother you." Xinto chirped as he turned around and gave his brother a big 'bro-hug'
Kinto simply growled with a practically venomous glare "whatever. we'll see. a 'crush' doesn't mean anything serious you know.
"yeah, we'll see."
-----
the next morning Kinto knocked on Kavado's door with Kyabet, Ebons, and Jushi behind him, and the rest where waking up further down the hall.

Kavada fell slightly crest-fallen at Xinto’s remark about him being a ‘spastic thing’ and sighed, walking back into the training room. He put his back to the padded wall and slid down it, crumpling into a ball, his arms wrapped around his legs.
STUPID! Why was he so stupid? He just wanted to show off and prove that he was tough enough to be accepted and to be able to prove to Kinto that he’d be a competent fighter and member of his team. He just wanted somewhere to belong even if he had to keep pretending to be a “girl”. Instead he’d pulled a dumb move like that and probably lost all of Kinto’s respect and now Xinto thought that he was some kind of incompetent moron and ‘lesbian’ and, just, this was not working out how he had wanted at all.
He tried hard not to crumple into hysterics, the sting of tears threatening to spill past his eyes, but the dull ache in his chest that he’d let Kinto down really, really hurt. He huffed and brushed the tears away with the back of his hand, boring holes into the ground with his scowl. Well, at least he had ‘made the team’. That was the one highlight.
But why had he ‘kissed’ Kinto? He knew that it wasn’t the most effective ‘attack’ that had ever been planned—maybe he could have even ‘head butt’ him! But no, he’d ‘kissed’ the other man. It was the first time that Kavada had kissed anyone other than his mother, and the thought made him put a hand to his mouth, brushing against it gently. Why had he gotten so upset when Xinto implied that Kinto liked him? Did… did he get upset because he liked Kinto too? Was that what that elated emotion was. Yeah, sure, he hadn’t been able to get the idea of Kinto out of mind since they’d met but he thought that feeling in his chest was awe and respect. I mean, he didn’t even know how old Kinto was. He was probably old enough to be his father! He didn’t already have a mate? That Jushi seemed pretty keen on him…
And that was another thing, why didn’t she like him anyways? It wasn’t like he had done anything to her. Except, maybe Kinto did like him? Did he not treat everybody else that way? Xinto said that if anyone else had pulled a move like that on Kinto he would have just said that it didn’t count… so why did Kinto call it a ‘hit’ and let him on the team if it shouldn’t have counted?
After a time Kavada pulled himself up and pulled his hood up over his head, ‘cloaking’ himself. He really just wanted to shrink down in a hole somewhere at the moment, mostly because he wasn’t sure why his stomach was doing such big flips at the idea that Kinto might not respect him anymore, but ultimately he decided that he should go back to his room and just to bed before it got too late.
-------
The next morning Kavado was surprised by the knock at his door. He quickly scrambled out of bed and quickly went over to the closet, pulling out another skirt-thing (this one was more like a ‘dress’ and went from the bottom of his armor down over the tops of his boots) and pushed his larger ‘gel-pads’ into the front of his armor, under his leotard to give him the appearance of ‘breasts’. They would have been something like a “large A-cup” on the scale of things, and part of that was due to the shape of his armor itself, as it was a woman’s armor, but anything bigger would have been easily knocked loose while in a fight. He quickly grabbed a hair-brush off of the vanity and stroked it free of the very un-ladylike “bed head” look until he knew that he looked decent and then swiftly swung open the door.
“Oh, um, General. Jushi. Hi.” He had already forgotten Kyabet and Ebon’s names, but nodded to them as well. He fiddled with his hair a little, brushing it behind his ear, and then curtsied, his face red.
“Is there something that I can do for you, sir?”
Kavado didn’t dare say it directly, but over the night he had managed to convince himself that Kinto would probably either demand a rematch from him or change his mind about being accepted onto the team.

Kinto quirked a brow at Kavado, the loupes on his Eye patch circled once as if to say he was confused. "morning training, what else? I told you we work out every day..." he replied, starting off down the hall casually.
Jushi ran to catch up with him and leaned against his arm, though she was quickly stepped away from and seemed to give a glare at Kinto before following him again. Ebons hung back and looked to Kavado with his pit-less ice grey eyes, he didn't say a word but he nodded to the 'saiyaness' and started walking again. Kyabet reached out a hand to Kavado and smiled. "welcome to the team!" he said brightly. "come on, morning warm-up training is always easy~" he chirped, running to jump on Kales' back as he stepped out of his room.
Xinto was already in the Gym wearing his regular clothes and sipping a cup of tea, he was an early bird. the taller brother approached him quickly and shot him a glare. "where is your armor?"
"at home" Xinto replied between sips from his cup.
"Why isn't it ON you." Kiinto grumbled
"because it's at home." the younger brother replied again, knowing he was irritating his older brother he stood up and set his cup down " chill I'm kidding, it's under the table, I'll put it on if it will make you happy." the younger brother rolled his eyes, he didn't see the need to ware his full armor for morning warm-up. as Xinto pulled on his armor Kinto turned around and gave a hand motion to pair off. as per usual the pairs where; Brock and Jushi, Kyabet and kales, and Ebons and Xinto. once the others had started Kinto walked up to Kavado and bent down to his level. "you know what warm up training is right? we're basically stretching and getting our minds and bodies awake." he explained as he pointed out to the others. " basically just come at me easy, see how high you can kick from a stand, how far your bunch can reach, things like that." he said as he crouched slightly, seemingly no different then yesterday, having no obvious ill feelings over the kiss.

“Mm.” Kavado said when Kinto asked him if he knew what ‘morning exercises’ were. He wasn’t sure if they were the same for Kinto and his team as things were for his mother and he, but he figured that they’d at least be similar. His own mother preferred meditation (to wake her mind) and then something like yoga/tai-chi practice stretches (to wake her mind). So it was a little less pro-active, but just as effective at keeping both elements of being awake and aligned for the rest for the rest of the day.
Kavado tried to erase the blush and felt glad that at least Kyabet seemed friendly enough. He had shaken his hand when it was extended to him and decided quite quickly that he liked him. Mostly because aside from Kinto Kyabet had been the first one to be personable in any way.
While watching Kinto and Jushi walk down the hall Kavado felt the mildest of a pinprick at Jushi’s behavior but decided to ignore it, and thus was quite pleased when she paired off with the other male who he didn’t recall seeing before, leaving Kinto’s attention on him.
“You, um, want for me to train with you again, general?” he said, somewhat shyly, his foot doing a little circular motion against the ground more out of ‘reflex’ than anything else.

"Well, we're the only 'pair' left, aren't we?" he asked somewhat bluntly as he took a 'sarcastic' look around. "unless of course you're uncomfortable with that, you can wait until one of the others is through." he suggested with a shrug. it really didn't bother him any but internally he hoped he hadn't so deeply offended her that she'd never want to train with him again. Xinto had always told him he had a talent for driving people away. "oh, and, Call me Kinto, no need to be formal ALL the time." he smiled then trying to be a bit less 'intimidating' as he caught the shy tone and the odd movement she made with her foot made him think she was nervous.

Kavado felt a little of his spunk creep back in. It didn’t seem like Kinto was upset with him at all, and this made the younger man relax quite a bit. He let out a breath and nodded, smiling. Right, well, he supposed that made sense – about the two of them being the only ‘pair’ left. And Kavado thought he could handle calling Kinto JUST “Kinto” if he tried. He was used to ‘sir, milord, general...’ when it came to addressing men. Something his mother had enforced since an early age to try and make his mannerisms seem more ‘feminine’. It would be nice to be on the same par.
“Alright, Kinto.”
With that Kavado threw a kick in Kinto’s direction, stretching his legs and hips.

The tall General smiled, he was glad to see the saiyaness' spunk coming back. he wasn't sure why he cared though, usually he prided himself in intimidating others but for some reason he didn't want Kavado to fear him. he grabbed the ankle thrown his way and leaned back, letting the other Saiyan ease into the stretch before gently pushing her back . " so, tell me about where you're from. I'm always curious to hear the 'survivor stories' if you're going to be on my team I should know at least a little about you, no?" he stated as he threw a long arm past Kavado's head, missing deliberately just to streatch.
