Nami glanced up, immediately setting her book aside and getting to her feet to bow. " Hai, I came here to train under you. I have letters of introduction from my Kage and a list of my training thus far, I hope it will be enough." She said quickly and held out the bundle of scrolls.

-=Neko took the scrolls from Nami, his eyebrow perking up out of habit. he held them at his side, and gave Nami a quick look-over, sizing her up=-
So, what's your name?

"Hyuuga Nami." She said in answer to his question. Her things still lay in disarray by the pond and she reached a foot back to push them into some kind of semblance.

Nami, of the Hyuuga clan...I'm Neko.
-=Neko locked eyes with her, his light blue eyes inspecting every detail of Nami's pale white ones, from under his dark glasses. He lifted up the scrolls and looked at them again as he spoke, though, he hadn't opened them yet=-
Seems that your village was pretty persistent about you being trained here, which is a surprise, seeing the reputation the Hyuuga family has.
So, did they kick you out, or just finally come to their senses?

"It's a long story." Nami confessed with a blush. "I suppose they sort of did kick me out, but not in a traditional sense...I chose water because it is the element I understand best and always found myself at harmony with." She felt inaccountably tall for some reason and hunched her shoulders in an attempt to shorten her stature.

-=Neko chuckled, and looked over Nami's shoulder st her belongings. nami was only an inch Shorter thn Neko, and Neko wasn't very tall. regardless, he noticed her shorten a bit, shrugged it off, then turned around, and headed for the doors leading back to the surface=-
If you want, you can have a room in the Main Dojo for all of your things...You are a long way from home, after all. Well, your old one, anyway...

"I'd really appreciate that." Nami quickly gathered her things with the usual Hyuuga speed and grace and continued after her sensei, although something worried her. He hadn't said directly whether he would take her on as student.
"I assume that if I'm taken on as a student, I'll have to start over at the lowest level?" She questioned, following towards the large ice doors.

-=Neko pushed open one of the doors and slipped out, leaving it open for Nami as he walked up the long tunnel=-
What were you before?. A Genin, wasn't it? Ah, I forget what the letter said, but since you seem to be able to manipulate water so well, I think you'll make Chuunin pretty fast.
-=Neko emerged into the forest, and made his way up the trail towards the dojo=-
((Continued in the main dojo))

Karu held the towel in his hand for amoment staring at the pond. "Why pink?" Karu stripped to his underwear and placed the towel in the center of the pond sitting on it cross legged he began to meditate. This was something he didn't mind. He preffered the cold.

-=As Karu continued to sit in the cavern, the cold began to become numbing, the temperature dropped a few degrees from when the axercise started, and sitting on the cold ice didn't help warm anything up=-

Karu continued meditating, blocking out all outside distractions. He smiled a bit, now things would begin to get intersting. For some reason he began focusing his chakra to different parts of his body, hoping to warm something up.

-=The 'warming myself with chakra' technique worked. For a few minutes. Then, the Jutsu kicked in. The temperature in the room dropped another ten degrees, very rapidly. Fighting against an element wasn't necessarily respecting it.=-

Zakuro could see her own breath now. She watched as Karu sat on the frozen lake. His face was placid and while his eyes were closed she continued to stare. She wasn't sure if she two were meant to sit on the ice, but when she remembered Neko's words she decided that even if had not meant for her to sit she would anyway. If for no other reason than to strengthen her bond with the element that consumed her life. She walked out onto the lake and sat next to Karu.
Her body heat would help him focus better so she sat close. Then she waited. She did not close her eyes, she did not meditate. She mearly sat and watched the puffs of fog roll from her lips. Over time she began to make a little game of it. She tried to see what sort of objects she could make out of the vapor. She would reach out and mold it like clay creating various objects. Her body started to grow numb, but that was to be expected. Her teeth began to chatter, but she continued keeping her mind occupied with her little foggy musings.

As zakuro sat next to Karu he lost his focus. Now things were awkward, he was naked in the middle of a frozen pond with a girl... today was weird. Okay, new tactic. He stopped circulating his chakra and began to embrace the cold. If he could not fight it, he would become one with it.

-=The temperature dropped a few more degrees. It was now around five degrees in the cavern, and there was no getting used to it, for some reason. It always seemed bone-chilling cold, and after a few more minutes, some signs of frostbite and pneumonia would start to set in. Neko walked into the commons of the Dojo, and made his way to the cavern. He swung open the door, looked at the two with a grin, then shut the doors again, speaking loud enough so they could hear him=-
Only one more hour to go, you two.
