 Tranquil shores: Relaxation
Being in Mizu no Kuni, Kirigakure is surrounded by beaches. While the mist doesn't exactly make swimming the number one hobby, the wide open spaces on the beach coupled with the relaxing sound of the waves and nothing but the waves do create a calm sensation that can greatly soothe any sort of agitation. In some situations, even the mist and the restriction that it places on sight can be soothing.
Battle-wise, the shores of the beach have little to offer in terms of hiding places other than a couple boulders. However, trees can be found farther up and over the tide-line, not all that far from the shore. Long battles that take several hours to complete must watch out for another factor: the tide. The tide comes in quickly and goes away just as fast, adding in an interesting aspect to the battle.

 Dяeamɪƞg, I'll be your Nɪghƚmaяe,xxxx˪ ˲ Petals on the Wind // Life's Perfect 'M E T A P H O R'
࿇ Outou Hajime and her twin sons walked through the mist onto the beach. The woman urged her sons to go off on their own for a few minutes while she walked to a specific spot. Kneeling on the sand, pink eyes closed, Outou gave a small prayer for the dead. The spot was where Outou obtained her second heart, from Cory, a Leaf shinobi, holder of the tendril threads. Cory's original heart. It was through Cory's death that Outou was able to meet her husband under the circumstances that they did.

"Mother?" a voice called out to her as she was kneeling down. Though Maqui had gone towards the beach for several moments, he took notice that his mother had dropped to her knees rather suddenly. Walking over to her, he only made the faintest of sounds. He was yet an expert at stealth as his father was, however he was better than the average shinobi. It was the sand that caused him to make noises with every step he took and as he walked up to his mother, he placed his hands in his pockets and stood behind her. The gentle breeze blew against his hair as he stared in wonderment. "Are you alright mother?" he asked her softly, his tone barely but a whisper but Outou would hear him.
Maqui, and his twin brother Yuj, had just graduated from the academy within the past week. Maqui received top marks in all of his exams and passed them with flying colors. However, he wasn't particularly fond of going off on missions and being away from his mother. In his eyes, no one could ever teach him as well as his mother could. She was afterall the most powerful illusionist in Kirigakure. Of course, that was so long ago it might have well been another lifetime. His mother was no longer Ninja, she was retired, and wether she taught him how to harness his power was up to her and her alone. He had overheard his parents talking about the strain her genjutsu put on her, therefore she stopped using them altogether during her retirement. Strange were the minds of the old, unfortunately he would never understand them until he became their age.

࿇ Standing, a single flower resting on the spot where Cory had been murdered, his last breath taken in Outou's arms. A hand reached up and touched the coarse tendrils tendrils that could still be seen stitched through her chest bone, but were hidden under her shirt. Pink eyes looked to Maqui and she moved her shirt to show him the threads. Her sons had seen them before - she always had the most terrible of luck when it came to shirts, getting ripped and torn every time she went into battle or trained with another. But she had also already told them about her second heart. But not where it came from.
"It was here that I got this." She revealed, fingers tracing a thread gently. The threads moved slightly with every beat. "From Cory. He died here, and gave this to me. We were monsters then, and monsters always took well with others. I was the first, he said," She looked down to the flower. "To have admired the threads he possessed. Others were just too disgusted, too frightened of him. It was the same with me, how others view me." Dropping her hand, the threads were hidden once more, and she gazed at her son calmly. "He died that same day we met, in my arms, by another monster. And your father killed him. That was how we first met. I had vowed to avenge Cory, but your father was too quick for me. I would have died anyway, if I had tried. I could not even injure the monster's apprentice. We should go now - I've paid my respects." Outou turned after beckoning for Yuj and Maqui to follow her.
Glancing over her shoulder to make sure her sons - she'd kill again to keep them safe, but she knew they had chosen a path were they would need to run out from under her wings - were still following her, Outou began to walk away, heading to cut through some less crowded shortcuts. It would mean going past the gates, but it stopped her and her sons from having to flow the heavy traffic of people on the main streets.

Maqui gazed into his mother's pink eyes, before his attention was now at where the stitches were. He had seen them many times before, his mother explaining to him that it was her second heart. Upon hearing the story, it all started to finally make sense. Maqui had always been curious as to how his father and mother had met, and even more curious as to how the came to be married. In many ways they were the same, but in many ways they were two completely different people. Maqui had a rather strange relationship with his father. It was Yuj who was closer to him, mostly because Yuj had chosen to walk the path of the assassin like father. Maqui however, he chose to walk the path of a genjutsu specialist.
So in the end, their parents met because of a common enemy. If Cory was killed here at the beach, then that meant that his father had to kill his murderer because he was threatening the Mist Village. Therefore, before his mother got a chance to kill him, his father got to him first. Realizing that his mother wouldn't have stood a chance, his father began training Outou. Strange how the weaves of fate intertwined, ever spinning, and always making sure the future was unknown. "I understand mother," was all Maqui could say. He felt that there was nothing else there could be said regardless. Following closely behind his mother, Maqui headed towards the gates, not exactly sure where they were going but following nonetheless.

Nero sighed. He couldn't sleep, and he had no idea why. He sat down on the sand by the shore. He inhaled deeply and slowly, then exhaled. He put his hands in the sand, extending his legs. His mind was racing,, and he had no idea why. I've never had trouble sleeping in my entire life. Maybe...no that can't be it. He thought to himself, shaking his head slightly. He lied down in the sand, looking up at the stars. He groaned. Why does life have to be so complicated? Why can't anything just be easy? Just for once... He wondered, closing his eyes, listening to the waves. I wish I wasn't alone out here...everything is always worse when you're alone. Yesterday I would have said otherwise...but now. Ugh. Life is so annoying sometimes. He thought, frowning slightly. He was bored, but it was better than having insomnia back at the dorms. Yawning, he sat up. He brought his legs up to his chest, and wrapped his arms around them, resting his chin on his knees. I just wish I wasn't alone out here... He thought to himself, staring out at the waves, watching the moonlight dance on the water, as he took a deep breath. He just wished life could have been as easy as he hoped it would be. This sucks...it was supposed to be easy. He thought, shaking his head slightly. I hate my feelings, so much. They just complicate everything...

 Mileena Mayu
~ Genin ~ Mayu Bloodline ~ Kirigakure ~
Mileena reached with the thirty meters breadth her mind could penetrate, trying to feel Nero's mind. Many others clouded her thoughts, but she shut them out, focusing on one mind that she felt as she got closer to the shores. It was Nero, and as she had predicted, he was asleep. She approached him where he lay on the ground next to the clear water. Without so much as a sound, she watched him for all of five seconds before she let loose with a piercing scream that would force him to scramble awake. She watched and giggled as that startled expression crossed his face. "Goodmorning". She giggled some more.

Hyouton Nero | Genin | Kirigakure "If it can be done...  Nero groaned. "Lovely." He said, under his breath. Unfortunately, he had only gotten about an hour of sleep. However, he wasn't particularly tired. In fact...he wasn't tired at all. He looked up, the piecing scream of a banshee, or so he thought, cutting through all the silence completely, causing him to jump, frightened. He sat up, unhappy after being woken up in the manner in which he had been. He looked up and saw her face, and sighed. "Oh. It's just you...hey."He thought, acknowledging her presence. He wanted to be happy, but it was too early, and he wasn't exactly a morning person. "Yea...goodmorning, I guess...if you can really call it good." He looked around, then sighed, letting himself fall back onto the sand. He blinked a few times, frowning slightly. He looked up into Mileena's face. "Why are you out here anyways? I thought I was alone." He told her, not sure whether to be thankful or upset that she was there.

Mileena Mayu
~ Genin ~ Mayu Bloodline ~ Kirigakure ~
Mileena sat herself down beside him, scrutinizing his face with question in her eyes. 'He seems grumpier than usual. I wonder if it was something I did?' Mileena discarded the thought with a mental wave, getting back to reality. "No reason. I just felt like seeing you is all. That being besides the point, you were the one who decided to come out here alone in the first place. From the way I see it, I'm guessing you've been here half the night if not more. I should be asking you what you're doing out here. I wont pry however". Not wasting anymore time on words, Mileena got back on her feet elegantly, stepping a few feet away from Nero before turning back to face his puzzled expression. "I would like to get a little more training in today. Not to learn jutsu or anything, just to test how far I've come since all those years. You may have the first move. And Nero?" She looked at him with hardened eyes, ready for what was to come. "Don't you dare hold back". With that, she waited, albeit feeling queasy. She wasn't normally one to make impulsive moves like that, being more the type to sit back and watch, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. She figured it was time she got hands on experience in combat, regardless of whether it was a real one or not.

Hyouton Nero | Genin | Kirigakure "If it can be done... He put his hands onto the sand, and sat up, to face her. "Ehh...sure. I won't hold back. Even though I've only known you for a day, so it isn't like you'd know if I was or not." He told her. Making handseals on the one hand further behind him, that she couldn't see. He did it while he was talking, trying his hardest to think about everything else. Then suddenly, the pillar of ice shot out from the ground, entrapping her. This time however, it would have a different effect than it did last time, as he knew she wouldn't be able to put up her shield. Because of this, she had almost no way to break out, as her hands were trapped outside the ice, but her wrists down were trapped inside, leaving almost no room for motion. He then stood up. "Don't worry. I won't hold back. But only because you asked me not to." He told her, playfully. He took a step back. Cracking his knuckles on both of his hands, using his thumbs, keeping his hands at his sides. "Alrighty then. Let's get this started." He told her, cracking his neck, as he raised a hand, and prepared to make another handseal, should she break out, or should she not. He wasn't afraid to hit her while she wasn't able to block.

Mileena Mayu
~ Genin ~ Mayu Bloodline ~ Kirigakure ~
While Nero talked, Mileena tried to drown out his words and go far deeper. His mind was scrambled, moving from one bit of information to the next, as if he was uncertain, or if he was trying to... Mileena broke her own train of thought when she realized how cunning Nero was, trying to distract her while he made his move. Regardless of how cunning he was, she knew to herself that she could outmatch him in that respect. She stood where she was however, succumbing to the Ice Prison, which, she realized with a tinge of deja vu, was the second time it has been used on her by him. The difference with then and now was that she had the barrier up the first time, but now, she was left unprotected. Her hands, from the wrist down, were trapped in the ice, as well as her lower body. She looked at Nero and smiled, aware that he thought he had her right where he wanted her. Ignoring his words, Mileena started to 'analyze' him, attempting to learn his secrets, or to gain an understanding of what was to come next. He always never seemed to be paying too much attention, which, Mileena realized, was what made it so much harder to avoid his attacks, as they seemed to just come on a moments notice. Finally, she understood the mechanism behind the Ice Prison, and became positive that he wouldn't be able to catch her with said move a third time. She kept up her mental perusal of his body language and behaviour, until she believed that she finally understood what was to come next. She readied herself, though being unable to move her hands which were the key point to all her attacks.
Intelligence: Combat Ability: Additionally, a ninja with this attribute can spend a post to "Analyze" an opponent allowing them to learn something specific about them, or understand the secret behind a technique or style. This also allows them to more easily dodge whatever attack is coming next, or make their next attack more likely to hit.

Hyouton Nero | Genin | Kirigakure "If it can be done... "You think you've figured it out? Good for you." He told her, almost wanting to laugh. He raised a fist, and decided to go out on a limb. He had no idea if it would work or not, but he figured it should. If closing his fist caused water to turn to ice, he wondered if it would do something to water that was already frozen. His fist closed, and the ice, followed, contracting. Growing smaller in diameter, beginning to compact everything on the inside. The ice on the inside of it began to crush, as did it's contents, which in this case, happened to be Mileena. He grinned. He was almost positive he could stop it at any time. He looked up at her and smiled. "Don't underestimate me." He told her, conscious of her ability to read his minds, and playing perceptively. He had no intention of ending the fight with the ice compacting ability of his water control, but as far as he knew, she thought he did. He pushed his true plan deep into his mind, doing whatever possible to diverge her ability to read his mind, and make her read the wrong thoughts. He decided he'd wait for her to react before making his next move. He took a step back, brushing his hair out of his face.

Mileena Mayu
~ Genin ~ Mayu Bloodline ~ Kirigakure ~
Mileena was not surprised when he started to manipulate the ice already around her, squeezing her with it. It was what she had seen him try to do yesterday. She didn't cry out or show any signs of feeling pain, for she wouldn't give him that satisfaction. Painfully aware of her limits, Mileena began to breathe. She was trapped, without having the faintest idea how long the jutsu would last. It was ice, and surrounded by all this mist and water, it could last for a very long time. Her hands were not usable, thus limiting her choices for possible techniques use. Her most important asset remained intact however, her mind. She stared unto Nero's eyes, daring him to go further. The link having already been there, she could read his thoughts with ease, but to her dismay, he was having a ball messing with her and muddling his own thoughts to affect her vicariously. Being as smart as she was, she was able to delve in deeper and connect a few of the pieces, but that only served to give her a small understanding of Nero's ability to manipulate the water. He required his hands, as she had noticed, and concentration. What if the two were lost to him? Mileena let loose with a mental scream, louder than any she had ever done before. No matter how much he might try, the scream would slacken his concentration and give Mileena the chance she needed. She felt it. The ice was beginning to slacken around her, and her hands were able to move about slightly due to the small gaps that had opened. Without skipping a beat, Mileena coated her hands in psychic energy, then brought them to the sides of the gaps cracking the ice and eventually freeing her hands. She went on again to bring her hands down to the ice around her lower body, causing it to crack then shatter, freeing her. She stepped away quickly, still maintaining the scream in Nero's head. She watched on his face the agonizing effects it was having on him, but she couldn't bring herself to care. In one graceful motion, Mileena reached inside her pouch and drew two of her kunai, both in either hand. She threw the one in her left hand at Nero's right thigh, and sent the other towards that area between his left scapula. She aimed for those vital area, hoping to stun him, all the while keeping up her mental scream to muddle rational thought. She kept her right hand extended, pushing both Kunai towards their target with mental force. This made them zip through the air faster than usual, moving toward him with deadly intent and speed.

Hyouton Nero | Genin | Kirigakure "If it can be done... Nero winced, then the pain faded. The screaming remained, but he began to ignore it. He had heard the same scream, but with less volume just moments earlier. In addition to this, he had heard his mom's screaming as she was dragged from his home and killed. This scream was a walk in the park by comparison. He grinned. She thought she knew what he was capable of. She thought she had him figured out. She could not have been more wrong. Her attempt at muddling his rational thoughts worked to some extent, however, he wasn't losing. He had no intention of truthfully hurting her. However, this changed after he saw the kunai coming at him. He raised an eyebrow, then remembered he was out of kunai. He made a quick handsign and sidestepped the two kunai. Then the bellowing noise of his Haryuu Mouko erupted from behind him. It jetted forward, faster than it had yesterday. The two kunai were simply deflected off of it, and thrown aside. The tiger then roared forward with incredible speed, straight for Mileena. And it was big. Really big. Bigger than it had been yesterday by a long shot. It was wider, and longer, and taller. It was also heavier, and faster. It traveled forward, and Nero took a step forward, retrieving the two kunai on the ground.

Mileena Mayu
~ Genin ~ Mayu Bloodline ~ Kirigakure ~
Mileena could hear her scream getting softer as she found it difficult to maintain it for so long. She made a metal note that she would have to remember to perfect this scream, no matter how unprecedented it all may seem. She saw Nero finally regaining his composure, shrugging off the dwindling effects of her scream and forming a few handsigns quickly that caused his large ice tiger to charge from behind and knock her kunai aside. She was only aware of the large beast now, rushing toward her, causing the air to grow more dense and making it difficult to inhale the freezing air. It towered above Nero as it passed Mileena noticed, and Nero was about two meters in height. Mileena could have easily levitated above the tiger and continue her assault on Nero, but she didn't want to do that. She came to train, not run, and there was one thing she wanted to try, to perfect. So there she stood, calm, relaxed with her hands by her side, waiting for the beast to reach her. When it was about 1.5 meters away from her, it struck something solid. The telekinetic barrier that Mileena had formed shimmered a beautiful silver, which rippled as the beast pushed against it, trying to get through. Mileena could feel the strain on her mind, but she shoved against it, exerting more force into the barrier, rejecting the beast. A brilliant light of white and silver glowed between the two, blinding Mileena, but she refused to look away or falter in her concentration. It was working. She could feel the force working against the barrier diminishing. She could see the beast losing its form and growing weaker. The barrier held, but just as Mileena thought she had won, she lost focus, causing the barrier to shatter and the remains of the beast coming over her. She felt the force of it, though it was weakened greatly. There she lay on the ground, unconscious, not being one to have ever felt great physical pain in her life. Her body was not use to the experience. If not for that one moment of wavered concentration, the beast would have not won.
