OOC: OKAY. Because Korinku isn't here for another like, month. x_x

I'm going to take the liberty of jumping us to ONE day before the Chuunin Exams, is that alright with everyone else? Because I don't want this RP to die before the Chuunin Exams. *has lot's planned, for once.* Or, rather, does anyone know what Korinku had planned for the Chuunin Exams, or is it the usual test, melee, battle kind?
 
OOC:Ok, I am officially un-grounded!

IC:Ason had been outside practicing his moves while awaiting his sensei to awaken. As Ason began to levitate one of his kunai, Shira came from behind a nearby tree. Ason stopped the lexon technique and acted normal. "Hey, whats up?" She asked. "Nothing, just waiting for my sensei to wake up." Shira looked over to the hospital doors. "Isn't that him?" Ason fallowed her gaze and noticed his sensei finally woken. "Well, I had better go check up on him, so...see you later?" "Yea...later." Shira turned her back and walked away. Ason walked over to Shiruba "So Shiruba, you ok, we were just walking when you-." Ason had noticed that Mokutou was practicing the eye transfer technique. "What the heck are you doing?" Shiruba asked Mokutou. Ason jumped in front of Shiruba causing his hood to fall off his head. "Hey sensei!" Ason said trieing to distract Shiruba. Ason then mumbled. "Lexon no justsu." Ason used his levitation technique to lift Mokutou off the ground and made him stand in front of Shiruba. "Shiruba could tell that he was molding chakra into his eyes, how are we going to explain this so he doesn't find out the truth? Uh, Mokutou was just...um. Well, you see we heard that if you mold chakra into your eyes, you can...creat beams...Isn't that right Mokutou?" Ason asked while nudging Mokutou.

OOC:We're doing a one day time skip right? Well then I'll just have to start off my team's time skip thingy.

I woke up with a slight groan as we were one day closer to the Chuunin Exams. I put on my robes and pants walked outside in the chilly air. I closed my eyes as I started to train my jutsu. I put my right hand over my left hand , making the palms face each other , right in front of me. "Focus the chakra into the middle of the space between your hands. Imagine a blade in that space. Make the chakra spin and split at the same time but make it a perfect sphere." I said as a ball of wavy chakra came into my hands."Grip the ball of chakra with both hands..." I gripped the ball of chakra. It hurt like heck but I managed to bare the pain. " Remember that the jutsu is based on imagination.... imagine all of the elements put into the ball of chakra..." my ball of chakra had a tingling sensation over it now. With the fire element it burned , with the lightning element it tingled , with water it was weird , with earth it hurt a bit , with wind it cuts and hurts , and with ice it was cold and sharp. All of these were put into that ball of chakra. "Now , run at the target." I sped towards the dummy in my yard. " Thrust at about 3 feet away..." I got closer , jumped and thrust my arm forward." And , using imagination and concentration , right when the attack makes contact imagine the ball of chakra changing into a sword." The chakra molded into a sword and I gripped it even harder. "And thrust the attack!" I pushed the sword of chakra into the dummy , tearing the insides of it out. "Godspeed Edge!" I said as the dummy blew up and I was blown back through the living room and kitchen of the two room apartment I lived alone in and was blown right through the door to the backyard. The telephone pole stopped me but it hurt and the force bent it forward. I rolled out of the way as the pole fell. "Uh-oh...That's gonna be a large bill. And I bet a huge mob will be in front of my house."I said to myself as I thought about how many phoneless people will be coming after me because of what just happened.
 
"Hachino-sensei!!!" I said scoldingly, slamming my fist down on the table lightly, and the older man who was in an unbelievably good mood looked up innocently, mumbling, "Hmm?" Through a full mouth.

"It's the day before the Chuunin Exams!" I explained, "We shouldn't be sitting here eating ramen." Over the past few days, I'd gotten unbearably used to Hachino-sensei's periodical disappearances, his easy-going, laid-back personality, and his spur-of-the-moment-"I-want-to-see-this-monument" or whatever. I could hardly be annoyed anymore, as this ramen shop was a light request compared to when he decided that he wanted to go to Sunagakure afterwards to do a little sight-seeing. "We'd be killed on sight Hachino-sensei. Don't talk nonsense."

He swallowed his ramen and shrugged, "Well, it's not like we have much to do, right? I haven't seen Hiryuku-chan at all today, and it's not like we can walk around summoning HeiBai. I've already helped you double your chakra build, HeiBai might be able to knock me over the next time you summon him. Eh, whatever. Eat your food before it get's cold. It's no good if you start the day on an empty stomach!" Grinning, he returned to his food and I sighed, staring down at my ramen with disdain.

"Fine." I muttered, eating my ramen in silence, the last person glad to be sitting under the ramen store roof, and certainly not happy to be associated with the nimrod who was slurping his ramen as loudly as Hachino-sensei.

Ten agonizing minute's later, Hachino-sensei declared that he was ready to leave, and stood up, paying the bill and dragging me behind him as we headed for the training range he'd set-up in the forest outside of Konohagakure. It was easier to train out there without any other Shinobi from other countries seeing you.

"Okay!" Hachino-sensei chirped brightly, "Let's work on your speed!" I hesitated and Hachion-sensei gave me a thumbs up and a sparkling smile, "Why don't we run 20 laps around the walls of Konoha?"

I fell over, knowing that even if Konoha was much more cramped then Sound, it's walls spanned a very wide range. And I knew that Hachino-sensei meant sprinting, by running.

"Last one back here pays for the next meal! Don't worry, I won't use any special techniques~" He sang, "Ready? Go!"

He sped off, and I jumped, hurrying to catch up with him. I didn't particularly mind paying for the next meal, but I knew that Hachino-sensei would purposely order some dinner to boot, which meant double the price. And that he'd make me run another twenty if he didn't see me catch up to him at least once around Konoha. But it was extremely hard to catch up with him, because Hachino-sensei seemed to be moving with such vigor that when his foot hit the branches, they snapped. So basically, I was trying to catch up with him on a broken path. It was good training for a pursuit shinobi, I knew, as other Kira trainers had forced me to do the same exercise, but I was still frustrated, because I had to use the tree trunks or what was left of the branches, and those weren't exactly very sturdy.

In the end, I caught a single glimpse of Hachino-sensei in front of me, and he waved over his shoulder, before disappearing again. And that was the end of the 20 laps. I landed in the little field enclosed by tree's and Hachino-sensei looked really happy that I'd caught a glimpse of him. (This was the first time.)

"You have to pay for the next meeeal!" He skipped up the side of a tree and sat on a branch, looking down at me as I sweatdropped.

Or, maybe he was happy that he didn't have to pay for lunch and dinner.
 
I woke up with a sweat beads running down my face. 'Not again! This is the third time this night I've woken up soakig with sweat!' I uncovered my face from the blankets and looked at the window. The bright sun was shining in touching everything in my room. 'Must mean it's almost noon. But the sun is something better to wake up to than the gloom of Sound." I pushed my blankets back and grabbed the clothes set out on one of the chairs next to the window. I left for the bathroom to take shower. As I showered I thought about the past night. 'The dreams keep getting worse as the Chuunin Exams seem to get closer.' I dried off and headed out for a place to eat with a wet head.

I'd found a nice little place to eat, the food was terrific! As I sat at the bar eating my food, I thought about Hachino-sensei and Kuroi. 'I haven't seen them lately. I wonder when Hachino-sensei's going to come and bug me about training.' I moved my arm and I flinched at the sore pain. 'Then again, with what Kurenai, Hitachi, and Hikaru haveing me do at night, I don't really need much more training.' I finished eating and paid the bill for the food. "So what to do today?" I thought out loud as I walked through the busy streets of Konoha. I walked close to the walls of the village. My ears turned toward sounds I heard outside the wall. I stopped and listened more closely. 'What do you know?' I focused my chakra to my feet and walked up the wall to see Hachino-sensei and Kuroi, who looked as though he'd die of exhaustion any minute. I jumped down from the wall and landed behind Kuroi. "Hello Hachino-sensei! Hello Kuroi! Did you have fun today? Sure looks like you did!" I asked in a bit of mocking tone. It'd been about a whole day since I'd been able to make fun of Kuroi.

I turned my head around towards the voice and saw Hiryuku-san, blinking as I pulled a leaf out of my hair.

"Yeah, sure having lot's of fun." I replied blandly, ignoring her mocking tone, brushing myself off as I continued, mocking her just the same, "Where have you been lately?"

Hachino-sensei interuppted before she could reply, jumping down from his tree branch and calling out in his unbelieveably good mood, "Hiiiiiryuku-chan! Would you like to join us for lunch later on? You can choose what restraunt!"

I fell over again, yelling, "That's cheating! You can't invite other people!!"

"Why not?" Hachino-sensei asked pulling on the bottom of his eyelid and sticking his tongue out at me, "It's perfectly legitimate, we never set down any rules, other then that it has to be within budget! Bleeeehh~" I was just about ready to slug him, but I knew better now- better vent my anger in training, rather then make a fool of myself when Hachino-sensei dodged the punch. I sighed, closing my eyes and sat down, leaning back on the trunk of a tree. Folding my arms I turned my face up to the sun.

"Well, Hiryuku-chan, how were you yesterday? I hope you trained as hard as me and Kira-kun, and a little more diligently too." Hachino-sensei narrowed a mocking eye at me and I opened an eye in annoyance, glaring at Hachino-sensei.

"Hachino-sensei." I said flatly, "You seem to enjoy making fun of me around Hiryuku-chan. Is there any particular reason, for this?"

Hachino-sensei seemed appalled for a second, before bursting into a fit of uncontrollable laughter, "I-I-I-It worked! Ahahahaha, it worked!!"

I was utterly confused, until he repeated what I'd said, "H-H-Hi-Hiryuku-chan!! Ahahaha!"

I sweatdropped and drummed my fingers impatiently against my other arm, saying, "I don't see how that's funny at all. I simply changed the way I address her. It's not like I'm calling her by her first name." I explained calmly, acting as if Hiryuku-chan weren't even there as Hachino-sensei laughed, "And what do you mean it worked?"

Hachino-sensei paused long enough to explain to me, "I've never heard you say the word, "chan" before, not even in your elementary days, so I called Night "Hiryuku-chan" because I wanted to hear you say it!" Hachino-sensei continued to laugh.

I rolled my eyes, "…You are possibly the most ridiculous old fag I've ever met. You realize this?"

"…I think that was an insult."

"I think so too."
 
I frowned when Kuroi answered my mocking tone. I was about to answer when Hachino-sensei interupted me. I was about to answer Hachino-sensei's question when I was yet again interupted by Kuroi who started yelling. 'What' the heck are they talking about?!' I looked from Hachino-sensei to Kuroi as they yelled at each other. 'I'm really confused now!'

"I was just fine, a little sore, but Katas my sister showed me helped take away the soreness." I answered as I looked at Kuroi with a huge smile on my face. 'It's always fun to mess with Kuroi!'

I almost jumped back a foot as Hachino-sensei spontaneously started laughing. 'What the heck is he luaghing at? He's the craziest sensei I've had! He called me Hiryuku-chan just to hear Kira-kun say it?!' "Well, since you called me by my last name, I guess I should do the same." I said with a sigh.

I laughed at the insulting exchange! 'Good thing I didn't have to share a room with them! I'd be hearing it all night!'

"Oh, by the way, sensei, I did train pretty hard yesterday! My trainers had me doing a lot of work yesterday!" I said looking at Kira-kun with a huge mocking smile on my face, emphasizeing the word trainers.

"So where are we eating?"
 
*Hidoi = "That's mean" in Japanese. Or something like that.

I looked up. "Oh. I didn't even notice you were calling me by my first name. Hn, whatever you want, but last I checked, we weren't exactly getting along on happy terms." I was still dwelling on her last few words. Trainers? In Konohagakure? So that settled it. She wasn't native to Sound at all. I sighed, waiting for Hachino-sensei to berate her about saying things like that. But he never did. Hachino-sensei just stared at Hiryuku-chan with an oddly calculating look, before blinking, replying to Hiryuku-chan's question, "Well, as I said, it's your choice- Kuroi-kun's treat because he was slower then me going around Konohagakure-"

"No." I said firmly, "I pick, or I'll leave you there to wash dishes."

Hachino-sensei took the liberty of faking huge, great, shiny tears as he said, "That's cold! Kuroi-kun wouldn't really do that to his beloved sensei, would he?"

"For one." I said in a flat tone, "Nobody gave you permission to call me by my first name, let alone with that suffix. For two, damn straight I would leave you there. And for three, you're not my 'beloved' sensei. Don't flatter yourself."

Hachino-sensei's tears disappeared in an instant as he mumbled in a frustrated way, "Well fine then."

"And we're not eating now, considering we just ate two hours ago. Your stomach is an endless pit, isn't it?"

"It's not endless, I'm just a person who needs lot's of carbohydrates so that I can make it through the day without collapsing. SOME people apply themselves more then others, you know. Come come Night-chan, let us leave this sore loser." He grinned at his own pun and I threw a rock at his head, which amazing hit it's target.

"DON'T MAKE JOKES THAT AREN'T FUNNY!!" I yelled, as Hachino-sensei made a big dramatic scene.

"Hidoi*. Kuroi-kun hidoi." He mumbled to himself, clutching the lump on his head. I had a faint inkling that Hachino-sensei had let me hit him, just so he could make a scene, but I thought nothing of I as I stormed past him and Hiryuku-chan, grumbling, "Meet me in the hotel later on if you want your free lunch."

~ + ~

"GET OFF ME YOU-"

"NO CUSSING!!" Kikari-sensei screeched, aiming a flying kick at Tsuyoi's head, sending him flying out from underneath Hayaii, who had just won the sparring match with aid from Kikari-sensei. I sweatdropped and sighed. Ever since Kikari-sensei had discovered that I was able to heal people with great proficiency, she seemed to have gotten a little more violent with her "discipline". I trudged along the edge of the training grounds to find where Tsuyoi had landed this time, Hayaii tagging along.

"Wow, it's the Chuunin Exam tomorrow." He breathed, as if in awe.

"Yeah... I'm kind of nervous." I admitted, and Hayaii rubbed the back of his head in embarassment.

"I kind of am too, to be honest."

I smiled, reassured that I wasn't the only one.

"Damnit! Stupid stupid stupid Kikari-sensei..." We heard Tsuyoi cursing at least 30 feet away, simply to find him tangled in the branches of a tree. And by the time we were close enough to the tree to see him clearly, a branch had snapped and he'd fallen out of the tree, crumpling into a pathetic heap that was cursing fluently at Kikari-sensei. I sighed and put my hand on the side of Tsuyoi's head, where a large lump was forming.

"Are you alright?" I asked for what seemed like the bazillionth time.

"I'm fine." Tsuyoi grumbled, sitting up and trying to wave my hand away.

"That was a rhetorical question Tsuyoi." Hayaii said, for the gazillionth time, "You're not fine, you're bleeding."

Tsuyoi blinked, "I am?" He looked down at his arm to find a long gash and he flinched, having been too shaken up to notice the gash on his arm, as being kicked by Kikari-sensei in the head is a pretty painful thing, and tends to make everything nullified. I wiped my brow in exhaustion when the lump on the side of Tsuyoi's head finally ceased to swell.

"You're such a pain." Hayaii sighed, raising an eyebrow as his brother who rolled his eyes, ignoring the comment. I ran my finger from the top of Tsuyoi's gash down, my finger like a zipper as it pulled the skin and flesh back together.

"Anywhere else?" I asked, and Tsuyoi shook his head, "You'd better stop for today, or else you're going to be too battered for the Chuunin Exam."

"And you'd better take a break, otherwise, not even a good night's sleep will recover all your chakra." Hayaii smiled and offered me a hand to help me up. I accepted it and when I was on my feet Hayaii hauled Tsuyoi up, "You, on the other hand, won't be getting any rest until you pick up all your stuff on my side of the room."

Tsuyoi sighed, "It's a hotel room. You're such a stiff."

"Kikari-sensei is waiting for us." I pointed out, and we headed back for the training grounds as Hayaii and Tsuyoi continued to argue, like they did every day.

OOC: So... we're skipping to a day before the exams, right?

IC:
"OW!" Miharu shouted. She landed on her bottom against the hard, bare ground. She instantly stood up, rubbing her bum. Miharu and Shuichi were currently sparring against each other, in one of Konoha's training grounds, a day before the exam. Yukiru-sensei, who was leaning against the gate to the training ground, watched the two carefully. He laughed slightly at the sight of Miharu falling down. Seeing Miharu in pain, Shuichi quickly shifted from his fighting stance to standing straight, arms by his side. Then he repeatedly bowed at Miharu apologetically, whispering 'Sorry,' so that only he was able to hear it.

"Uh, it's okay... There's no need for that, Shu-san," Miharu said, still rubbing her bottom. Shuichi quickly stopped bowing, and shifted to his fighting stance once more. Man, this guy's like a robot or something, Miharu thought. She sighed, and put up her fighting stance, trying to put up with the pain. As if a switch in his head was suddenly put to "fight", Shuichi lunged at Miharu. Miharu quickly ducked low down, waiting patiently for Shuichi to get closer to her. It's not as easy as it looks, standing there when someone is running towards you, with an intent to pound you into the ground, she thought. But I guess, I can win if I'm successful with this.

As soon as Shuichi was the 'right distance' away from Miharu, she quickly slid through his legs, feet first. Confused, Shuichi had to take several steps before he could stop, but by then, Miharu, who was standing behind him, had a kunai held against his neck. They both stopped movements, and for a moment, it seemed that no one was breathing. Phew, I'm glad that all worked out right, she smiled. Shuichi seemed to be smiling as well, but it was not completely possible to find out due to his hair covering his face.

"Great fight, you guys!" Yukiru-sensei praised, clapping his hands. The two students stood up straight, with arms by their sides. Miharu quickly placed her kunai in the pouch strapped onto her left leg. "I think that's enough for today. You guys need your rest for tomorrow." The sensei smiled, patting his students on the head.

"How about... I treat you guys for ramen this time?" Shuichi spoke. It was the first time he had said something like that.

"Oh... Alright." Miharu said. After a fight like that, she had built up a big appetite. She rubbed her stomach. "That's very nice of you, Shu-san."

"Well, I couldn't pass up on an offer like that..." Yukiru-sensei jeered. He looked at Shuichi. "Okay! Let's get going then!"

"Yukiru-sensei, you wouldn't pass up on anything that's free," Miharu stated. She glared at her sensei with an annoyed look.

"True, true... But..." Yukiru-sensei stopped. Miharu stood there, waiting anxiously for his lame excuse. Yukiru-sensei opened his mouth, as if to say something, then quickly dashed off, away from the training grounds. "But that's me! And I can't really do much now to change that!" He shouted at his students. Although she was obviously frustrated, Miharu was smiling. She quickly grabbed Shuichi's hand, and started to chase the run-away teacher. Miharu shouted teasingly at her teacher, who had already ran a great distance, "Oy! Get back here, Cheapskate-sensei!"
 
OOC: Indeed! Dark Night, I'm skipping ahead to lunch, because A) I've nothing else to do, other then have Hachino and Kuroi argue, which is definetely going to happen during lunch anyway. B) Shiranui deserve's some interaction! ;A; She's been RPing by herself for 9 pages! (Although in this post I don't directly refer to her because I can't until she's actually there. < <; But it gives her the chance TO say something. xD) And C) Because I've been thinking of all kinds of things for Hachi-chan. >D

So I hope that's okay~!

IC: Clutching his chopsticks tightly in his fist as if trying to suffocate the poor inanimate object, Kuroi's annoyance seemed to be floating in a dark cloud over his head, accompanied by another big red vein pop. I happily slurped my ramen, making plenty of noise to piss him off. Somehow, he was just so much more fun to mess around with in Konohagakure! I absolute loved it!

"...How..." He grumbled to himself, trying (quite visibly) to keep his cool, "Did we end up... IN A RAMEN SHOP!?!?!?" He yelled, standing up and pointing at me, and, again, to piss him off, I stared at him innocently, slurping up the noodle in my mouth and spraying 3 droplet's of ramen soup onto Kuroi's face. I swallowed, took a calm, deep breath, and promptly began to laugh my head off at Kuroi's disgusted expression. His face was even turning blue as he snatched up a napkin and wiped the liquid off his face, throwing his chopsticks at me with the accuracy only a shinobi could have.

"IDIOT!!!" He snapped, making a huge scene.

"Are those really Sound ninja?" A woman whispered to her companion. I noticed with glee another vein pop emerged with each whisper Kuroi heard.

"I thought they were much scarier. That's not to say that they don't look awfully sick, but... they kind of remind me of immature children..."

Another vein pop! Hurrah! I loved the people in Konoha already!

"Shut up!!!" Kuroi yelled, sitting back down to a silent restraunt as he grabbed another pair of chopsticks and made a face at the ramen, saying, "This is ridiculous."

"Kuro-kun is losing his cool~" I said, poking his forehead with the part of the chopsticks I ate with. He started turning blue again, as if anything that belonged to me might be highly contagious with happy germs or baby germs. I dodged another pair of chopsticks and said, "Neee~ You're wasting perfectly good chopsticks! AND, you're making a big scene! You realize that the entire shop is staring at us??" I heaved a heavy and dramatic sigh, "I'm so embarassed."

A pair of chopsticks dug themselves into the side of my head like darts, "If anyone's embarassed..." Kuroi mumbled darkly, practically emitting a murderous aura, "It's ME, because I'm stuck with the most IDIOTIC sensei of the YEAR!!!"

Again, silence in the restraunt. I smirked and gave Kuroi a thumbs up, "As they say, they come scarier in Sound!"

I dodged a flying cup this time, "Ow..." I muttered to myself, having bent back a little further then my old man's back would normally allow. Kuroi sighed, and grudgingly ate his ramen, mumbling through a full mouth, "Serve's you right."
 
That's totally fine with me. I really don't mind.
~~~~
I sat quietly eating my ramen. I was quite enjoying the little show that Kira-kun was doing. I smiled, 'Food and entertainment! Plus the fact that Kuroi is embarassing himself and Sound in front of everyone!' This was just to perfect! I didn't care what they woman was saying about Sound ninja, I really wasn't one of them and I didn't want to be.

I finished one bowl of ramen and ordered another while Kuroi was argueing and throwing things at Hachino-sensei. I went onto eating my second bowl. 'You sure get hungry after a nice good work out like the one last night. I mean I'm still sore!' I'd finally had it when Kuroi sat down after throwing a cup at Hachino-sensei and sitting down. I leaned next to him, whispering so as the others around us couldn't hear. "What's your problem? Is it really so bad that you have to eat regular commoner food?! I mean, I know that you didn't live like you do now as a somewhat honored Kira, as you did when you were little!" I shut up right then. 'Oh crap! I leaked it out again! I really just need to control my anger and stop talking!' I scolded myself and went quickly back to eating my ramen with my wooden chopsticks.
~~~
Oh btw, very nice way to act as Hachino-sensei, I loved the old man part!XD!
 
OOC: time skip? fine by me.

IC: I sighed and got out of bed, getting on an exact copy of my previous outfit. My trenchcoat was the only thing from the previous day that was teh same, as I only had one weighted coat, all the others being too light to train with. I sighed and walked out into the training grounds inside the takamine clan's small 'villlage' of sorts inside konoha. (much like the uchiha household or the hyuuga household) I stood facing a set of straw practice dummies and sighed, it was time to perfect another jutsu I had been working on for weeks now, and I just hadn't been able to get it right yet. "here we go...dance of the cherry-blossoms!" I said, unclipping the pockets in my sleeves and spinning uickly, bone fragments shaped alot like cherry blossom petals flew out as i spun, flitting around in the air as I stopped"now..focus the chakra into all the fragments...and form them into a ring...." I muttered to myself, closing my eyes and catching all the fragments I could with chakra strings, forming a rough, saw-like ring around me. "now...aim...and throw! shattering bone ring!" I said, throwing the ring and slicing one of the dummies in half, just as my father walked out. "you missed two of them" He said dully, looking at me and shaking his head. "just watch.." i said slowly as the ring neared the wall behind it. Today would be the day I perfected this jutsu, I would show him I was strong. The ring hit the wall, but rather than sticking into it, it shattered into all teh bone shards, sending shrapnel everywhere and slicing the fallen dummy even further, cutting up the other two and stabbing into them. "one more thing" I said slowly, focusing on the shrapnel "rain of bones!" I said quickly, crossing my arms and sending the bones littered on the ground spinning like shuriken across the two remaining dummies, cuttign them or sticking into them further. I looked over to see the look on my fathers face, but he had gone, sighing I gathered up the bones and returned them to my sleeves, heading off to find gai-sensei and my teammates.
 
Kuroi paused, Hachino-sensei rubbing his back as he mumbled curses to himself. Commoner's food. Was that really the problem here? Maybe it was contributing to the problem, but the real problem that was making Kuroi so relaxed, yet so tense was still far away from even Kuroi's grasp.

"You'll be a wonderful leader someday, and I don't doubt it for an instant!"

Kuroi grit his teeth, "What happened then, is none of your business." He mumbled flatly and emotionlessly, continuing to eat his food in silence as Hachino-sensei began his work on the second bowl of ramen that he'd ordered. Not even his relentless stare seemed to get to Kuroi now, and Hachino-sensei looked throuraghly disappointed as he ate his ramen dejectedly. The fun was ruined already. So there was no reason to dawdle here any longer. Sighing, Hachino-sensei finished his second bowl of ramen twice as fast as his last and thanked Kuroi for the lunch, who replied with only a "Hn."

"I'll be off now!" He made his way out of the shop, and disappeared in the crowd.

"I don't ask about your past, so don't ask about mine." Kuroi snapped after Hachino-sensei was gone.

......

"You're late."

"It's not against the law to eat lunch."

"I don't know why anyone bother's to deal with you. Let's go. We're already off-schedule."
 
OoC| Ok. Time-skip? No prob.

IC| Mokutou got up and chuckled nervously. "Uhh.. yea. Sorry about that." He grabbed his Kusanagi and drew it as in combat. "So, who is the person you're talking to Ason-kun?" Mokutou took a step back as he felt his heart race. The chakra from his eyes disappeared and he opened them real fast before closing them. "If this person is going to be in the Exams, they better not get in our way." You could hear the heavily breathing of Mokutou as he started to think differently the day before Exams. "Wow. I hope Ason-kun and I will get to show our powers and we get to meet other Dark-nins."
 
I got mad again, but I controlled it this time. 'He hasn't figured out that I'm a Dark Ninja as well, at least I don't think so.' I dropped my wooden chopsticks into my bowl as I had finished it, and sat a little back thinking. 'Am I sure he hasn't though?' I thought to myself as I was starting to get confused.

I was quite suprised when Hachino-sensei announced that he was leaving and then just dissapeared. 'Where is he off to? I wonder if he's got buisness here for Sound?' I shook it off once I heard Kuroi muttering to me. My temper came back. 'How can he do that?! His past is just about the same as mine!' I hurridely got up and started to head for the streets. I stopped and looked back at Kuroi. "You know what you are, just some arrogant little boy that can't even measure up to his family standards. You're a pampered little brat that won't ever be able to lead unless you learn to live with other people and the way they do things. You also need to learn to push yourself, you're lazy and do only that which you're body will allow you, you need to push that." I took a breathe and let it sink in. 'This day had started out great, but he ruined it!' "And another thing!" I said a little louder, "You don't need to ask about my past, you lived it!" I whispered so that he could only hear it.

I stormed off out of the bar and off toward the Konoha Training Grounds. As I ran for the grounds, the horrible scene of what had happended in Dark that dreadful night kept playing through my mind. I kept seeing my sister falling into her own puddle of blood and my brother lyeing in my room, his eyes still open, stricken in terror.

As I reached the grounds I unstrapped my blades and started to slash at every and all inanimate objects that I could find. My temper and the horrible scene still ripping at me, makeing me slash with fury. "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" I was yelling at the top of my lungs. I dropped to the ground with a hard thump and took in deep breathes. I formed the hand signs to summon Kurenai, Hitachi, and Hikaru and pulled my mask down to use my sharp wolf teeth to take some blood from my finger. I pulled the mask backup and thrust the palm of my hand to the ground and in a puff of a black smoke they appeared. Kurenai was the first to relize I was distressed, as usuall, and came over to me and licked my cheeck. I hugged her neck and she sat there, letting me. As I was hugging her, I noticed 3 other ninja standing a little ways off. I reconized the one dressed in all black as Ason, so the other one, must have been Mokutou. I released Kurenai and Hitachi and Hikaru were looking in the direction of the other Dark Ninja.

I stood up and used genjutsu to change the 3 wolves' forehead protectors from the Dark sign, to the Sound sign, but I used it to where only other Dark Ninja could see the Dark sign. 'Hopefully Kuroi doesn't decide to come over here!' I decided to train with the 3 wolves around the area that the other ninja were, hopefully they would see the sign. I told Kurenai, Hitachi, and Hikaru of my plan and we headed off for them as I was useing my blades to block attacks from the wolves.

Sorry it's so crappy!
 
Ason could tell that Mokutou had been really trying hard on that eye transfer. Ason then focused on the thing at hand. "It's ok Mokutou, it is just Shiruba." Ason then began to hear someone behind them. He turned around and noticed a girl and three wolves. Ason thought that they were wolves from the forest until he looked at their heads. "The sign..." Ason thought while thinking about his headband. "Hey shiruba, me and Mokutou should go and...Study the enemy." Ason grabbed Mokutou and dragged him over to the girl. "I think that we have found another dark nin." Ason whispered to Mokutou. As the two approached the girl, Ason greeted himself. "Hey-...Hiryuku?! I didn't know you where here." Ason excitedly applaud.

Yea, bad post. I had to hurry or else i'll be late for school.
 
OOC: Not sure where Shiranui is, but I'm not going to dawdle here anymore.

IC: Kuroi tossed his chopsticks into his bowl and silently paid for lunch, standing up and leaving just as well. He was far from arrogant compared to Hiryuku-san. She assumed that she knew everything about him, and flaunted it, as if her past was so much worse. Clenching his fists, Kuroi darted out of the gates of Konoha, anywhere to be alone. He hated it. Everything. Konoha. Hachino-sensei. Hiryuku-san. Sound. Dark. Everything. Slumping against a tree and slowly sliding down the rough bark, Kuroi swallowed the lump in his throat, ignoring that fact that his nails were digging into his palms enough so that his palms were beginning to bleed.

"I lived it??" Kuroi muttered to himself through grit teeth, "Maybe so... but I'm not the one who's being insensitive and selfish about it, am I!?!" His last few words came out in an anguished yell as he slammed his fist into the ground, hating how soft the grass and soil in Konoha was. No. Calm down. This was no reason to get worked up. Drawing his legs up and resting his arms on his kness, Kuroi closed his eyes, trying to block out the happy song of the birds, the bright sun that filtered cheerfully through the leaves of the tall green trees.

"No..." He whispered to himself, "Never again..."

Clutching his sleeves tighter, he blinked faster, and paid close attention to how choked he felt before he could breathe freely again. He had promised with a smile. A rare, once-in-a-blue-moon smile. A genuine one. One that had brought comfort in the midst of the smell of burning fire, hunter-nin masks, the smell of charred hair and metallic blood. This was the one promise that he wouldn't go back on until his dying day. Never again would the tears flow. Kuroi Kira- he wasn't a crybaby anymore.

"Touching." A cold voice spat unfeelingly, the unmistakeable feel of a kunai embedding itself into his arm the last thing felt before the pressure point's on Kuroi's neck were jabbed, "Then I'll make it so that you never cry. Never again, right?"

And just like that, conciousness slipped through his fingers. Not even a single salty tear mixed with the warm flow of red that stained the ripped black sleeves.

Never again.

OOC: *angst angst angst!* xDDD Nobody has to pay any mind to Kuroi right now, unless you want to. I've got it all figured out both ways around, but if you do want to say something about it, he'll end up being in the hospital next post with a half severed arm. (ph33r the angst.)
 
I stopped when I heard the two other dark nins' footsteps comeing toward Kurenia, Hitachi, Hikaru, and myself. I turned around when I heard Ason speak. "So you did see the sign!" I said quiet enough so that the Chuunin they were with wouldn't hear what I had said. "Yes I am here, it wasn't that hard to go from Chuunin back to an acedemy student." I smiled as I at Mokutou, 'Poor kid, can't see, but still a great shinobi.' "And you, what have you been doing since we all split up? Been haveing fun?" I asked, excited to be able to talk about Dark buisness. Hikaru walked up next to Mokutou and nudges him with his snout. "Not getting to attached to those around here are you?" He asked looking over at the Chuunin standing a little ways off.

Ahh! Cruddy post!
 
Ason giggled a little bit to what Hiryuku asked about having fun. "Fun? I wouldn't really call it fun. Konoha isn't all that cool...although, I do have to give konoha it's credit. They have some pretty good shinobi here. Like Shiruba for instence." Ason said while turning and pointing to the chuunin behind him. "Sure, I could probably take him out easly but if you are forced to tai jutsu...your dead." Ason turned back to facing Hiryuku. "I have also been trying to teach the eye transfer to Mokutou. We almost got cought a minute ago." Ason exclaimed while putting his hood back on his head. "The bad thing is...we haven't trained in a couple days because Shiruba fainted...but I guess it isn't his fault. Why am I being so nice lately? I remember when I was so high and mighty...but ever since the training with Shiruba, I have changed a bit..." Ason thought while lowering his head a little. "So what about you? what have you done?" Ason asked while quickly pulling his head back up.
 
"They eye transfer huh? I bet that helps him out a lot!" I looked over at the Chuunin behind Ason and Mokutou, "So he's supposed to be good huh? You don't find many that are pretty good now." I smiled when Ason asked me how I had been. "OH yeah, it's been so much fun! I get to hang out with a crazy sensei and a Dark nin who's not even loyal to it and probably hates my guts right now. I've also almost leaked a lot about where I'm from and what I can do. It's hard!" Kurenai rubbed her soft head against my leg, trying to comfort me.

I lowered my head, 'Should I tell them?' I lifted my head back up, "You know, I've been haveing dreams about what happended that night, but only these past couple of nights. It's really been hitting me hard, just as it get's closer to the exams." I looked down again.
