Well, he'd missed his target, but he still landed something. Grabbing her side fully, he tossed them both to the ground again, holding her just out of reach of his neck. It was a good thing that he was tall at times, it meant a longer reach, and the ability to keep others further away from vital parts of his body. As soon as they hit the mats on their sides, Jade curled his legs to his stomach and pushed outward, aiming both feet toward her gut, and trying to force her further away.

Sunomi watched the world around her blur as she landed on her side. Jades kick forced all the air out of her lungs as she rolled away attempting to catch her breath. Sucking air through her nose she studied jade for several moments on her hands and knees before finally sliding into her attack. As she bounded up to her feet she dove shoulder first at jade hoping to knock him out of balance.

Feeling his kick connect, Jade used the force of it to roll himself backward, on hand close to his face to keep the glasses on his nose. Rolling up to his feet, Jade settled his glasses once again. Seeing her rush toward him, he tried to get out of the way, but she was already to close. With a heavy force, she hit his midsection, his muscles there automatically hardening to protect the organs below. Staggering backward, he managed to keep himself upright, his arms flying around her subconsciously as his body twisted to the left and sent them hurtling toward the mats again with her positioned below him.
A part of Jade's mind clicked then, and old habits came round to bite him. As they fell, he kept one arm below her, and put the other out, stopping them both from hitting the ground painfully. The pressure of stopping both of them ran up his arm and jarred his shoulder making him hiss slightly as their motion ended, his boots sliding slightly on the mats. Cursing himself, Jade realized what had happened, but didn't dare move, instead forcing his eyes to harden.
I'm defeated Sunomi. By now you would have struck a fatal blow.
Putting her down on the mats, he stood up and rolled his shoulders out.

Sunomi felt his mid section harden as she hit his gut full force with her shoulder. The both almost went to the ground though jade caught himself before it was too late. Sunomi set down on her bum as as jade said he was defeated and rolled away. She mulled over what she was going to say before finally asking. "How long have you been using the force?" she slowly walked over to him and rubbed his apparently injured shoulder.

Jade recoiled at her touch and shook his head.
Most likely my whole life...though nothing like that has ever happened. Aunna mentioned something like that happening to her several times; however, if you mean to ask if I've been trained in the force like some jedi. No. The jedi wished to have little to do with me.
He said with a chuckle, and turning to face her. Folding his arms slightly, Jade appeared to be over his hurt shoulder.

Sunomi sighed as jade jerked away and started speaking. "Break meet back here in twenty minutes!" yelled over the din and waited for everyone to file out before she grabbed jade and set him down on a bench and sit softly next to him. "Talk to me, you never noticed anything like this before really?"

Jade eyed her warily for a moment, noting a few stragglers from his own crew. Giving them a death glare, they too hurried from the room.
It's a long story. Both Aunna and I were tested for the possibility, but only our blood...two samples each. Not wanting to be a jedi, and afraid of what they might find, I switched my sample with her second one, and took both of mine, putting them into the trash before the man came back. My sister was found with traces of their midichlorians, but not enough to be deemed 'jedi worthy' so obviously both of us were denied.
Jade chuckled slightly as he remembered the confusion on the man's face when he realized the other samples were missing, but had disregarded it as nothing.
I often showed small traces of force ability...I could get odd feelings from others, could play to their weaknesses, at one point I tossed my fighting instructor across the room...but none of it pointed to my having enough of the ability to be trained.
It wasn't until I was in the republic military that questions started to come up. I found easy ways around difficult situations, I could talk myself out of almost anything if I willed the other to see my point of view, I seemed to know what was going to happen before it happened...it even earned me a title...Necromancer.
You see, after a battle..oddly enough...on Mygeeto, I went down to the planet and searched several of the sith corpses there. I found, that with one of the corpses that I was particularly curious about, that I saw a flash of what I could only deem his memory. To this day I don't know how it happened or why...but occasionally it happens. From then on, the crew I was captaining claimed that I scavenged the corpses of the dead and forced them to talk, to tell me their secrets. I didn't do much to stop these rumors since they, to this day, work to my advantage.
It was after all of this and a string of incredible luck...or perhaps my abilities in the force...that my superiors called me in for testing. Obviously I was found to have a large potential in the force, but it was already far to late to send me to the jedi for any type of training.
This was, however, the first time something like THAT has happened to me.
Shaking his head slightly, Jade wondered if he could re-create the situation, or the feeling he'd just experienced.

Sunomi set quitely with her hands in her lap as jade told her his stories. "I suppose there are some benefits to being force sensitive. Have you ever considered finding a Independent force user just to teach you how to control it?" she asked concern clear in her voice as she placed a hand on his shoulder. "You wouldn't want to lose control of it and hurt your self or someone else."

He chuckled darkly at her question.
Not over much, I haven't. A few of the jedi were willing to instruct me at least a little, but nothing substantial. I don't think they considered emerging abilities I might have. Besides...I don't fully trust them...one I might have found some small respect for, but I doubt he'd teach ME anything...perhaps Aunna he would, if she showed any noticeable signs of the force anyway...
He shrugged slightly and patted her leg.
Well then, I have forty five minutes left...shall we continue?

Sunomi simply nodded as jade spoke before thinking. "Well, I think we've done enough hand to hand unless so we could move on to melee weapons or we could go to the firing range which ever you would prefer." she said crossing her left leg over her right leg while waiting for his answer.

Jade managed to give the question a moment of thought, but it was short lived. To be honest, he didn't care.
I don't really care Sunomi...one I excel at, the other is quite the opposite. Take your pick; though I think ranged would be your preference.
He stated, shrugging his shoulders slightly.

Sunomi nodded and smiled. "Firing range it is." she said leaping to her feet and pull him up to his feet. "I'm sure you know where it is this is your ship after all she said as she slipped her boots on and grabbed her uniform coat. "Ready to become a master sharp shooter?" she laughed as she began towards the door.

Jade shrugged, and adjusted his coat slightly. Picking up the cylinder from the table and putting it in his pocket again, Jade turned to another door just inside the room.
Yes, actually....the door is right here...
He replied with a small smirk.
As for becoming a master sharp shooter...hmph.

"Oh, you just need confidence and a little proper encouragement" Sunomi said confidently as she pasted byonce the squads sniper and pulled a pair of blaster pistols from the gun rack and handed one to jade. "We'll, start at the easiest ranged arm the pistol." she was sliding into her training attitude as she spoke to jade. "Now watch me" she said before stepping up and demonstrating proper stance for firing a blaster pistol at one of the stations and then fired burning a small hole just right of the targets bulls eye. "Okayyour turn."

Luckily, blasters were the one thing he COULD use. He still wasn't the best aim, but he'd managed during academy well enough. Taking the blaster from her, he watched with a raised eyebrow. Taking up his position, he took only a moment to aim, and put a hole just above and to the left of hers. Nodding in approval at the fact that he'd at least not lost his touch with a blaster, Jade smirked at her.
Don't expect them all to be that good though.
He stated with a teasing wink. Of course they wouldn't all be that good, especially if he was on the move.

Sunomi gave jade a quick hug as he winked at her before she took the blaster pistol from him and returned them before grabbing a blaster carbine and returning to jade "Think you can handle this?" she said resisting the urge to add big boy to the end of it before handing him the carbine. "Just take an easy stance and keep it tight against your shoulder." she calmly instructed jade.

Taking the carbine, Jade pulled it up to his shoulder, though it still hurt, and held it tightly against him, keeping his eyes down the barrel. Bracing himself slightly, he pulled the trigger, the recoil jarring his shoulder and making him wince slightly, but over all it wasn't a bad shot. The slug penetrated just a bit outside their first two, half way between the second and third rings of the five ring target.
Bah...now I remember why i dislike guns larger than a blaster...
He muttered.

"See, that was a good shot." Sunomi said walking over and giving Jade a friendly one armed hug inside the booth. She smiled at him and rested the carbine on the floor. "So, anything in particular you'd like to shoot?" she asked turning her body towards Jade. "We have some laser rifles and slug throwing weapons if you'd like to try them."

Tensing slightly at her hug, however platonic, Jade simply smiled and resisted the urge to pat her on the head. He didn't think she'd take that action well, so he refrained.
Surprise me...though something with a bit less recoil would be welcome, considering that volley jarred my shoulder again.
He replied sounding mildly irritated as he refrained from casting his shoulder a glare. It was his own fault for stopping his action like that...he just hoped that it wouldn't affect his work.
Better yet, how about you show me how it's done, oh mighty master of the long ranged weapons.
Jade teased, offering another light smile.

Sunomi ignored his tensing and reached up to rub his shoulder. "Oh, your poor baby." she said like she was speaking to a little child before turning with the carbine still in her hands. "Fine, lets see here, Oh, I know." she said grabbing her Fletch rifle from the table and snapping a magazine into the rear of the rifle. "Here this shouldn't recoil too bad." she said returning with the rifle held to hand to Jade. "Oh." she said as jade teased her. "Well, fine scoot." she said lifting the familiar rifle to her hands and firing a short three round burst complemented by only a quite whistling noise.
