Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Mm, I suppose." He stepped forward. Toward the kitchen without looking at either of them, as he walked away Lavi and Raine connected gazes that showed how oddly they thought of the clan leaders behavior. "Come on." he yelled behind him to the boys, who quickly got up and followed. The Bunshin left behind exploded when Raine left him. Smiling that they would finally be fed, Raine and Lavi took their seats at the table. While Tsuyosa, stared at the cabinets for a second deciding on what they would have for dinner. He didn't really know how to cook, and the kitchen was a foreign battle field for the man. Tsuyosa pulled out a cookie pan and from the fridge grabbed a large hunk of meat, setting the oven to 450' he stuck in the meat, and sat down with the boys. They stared down at the oven, questioning his ability to not burn down the compound. "What?" He said to the boys.

Lavi looked up,"Eh, nothing, nothing.... so.. what jutsu is next?" He asked trying to switch the subject.

Tsuyosa let his gaze climbed to the ceiling. "He's too weak for another jutsu right now." At this Raine scrouched his face, and glared up at the man.

"I'm not weak! I can learn a jutsu right now!" He said, wanting to stand up and push the chair back, but it was too big for him, and Raine had to hang on the table and scoot his butt off the chair. Lavi tried to contain his laughter, while Tsuyosa let himself smile and laugh for once. This surprised Raine a bit, he didn't figure him as a laughing kind of guy. The man saw the boys surprise and looked at them sadly.

"You're not that surprised are you? I laugh, too. I'm not completely made out of stone." As he said this the boys started to think of him differently, especially Raine. But smoke worked it's way out of the oven. And Lavi hopped up.

"The meat! Get the meat!" Tsuyosa whipped around lighting fast, throwing the oven open. Smoke errupted from the oven, and he stuck his hand in. Lavi and Raine stood freaking out besides the table. "NO Don't put your hand in!" They all screamed as Lavi ran over with a towel and tried grabbing the pan. he picked it up and set it on the stove, and smoke cleared around them. They all sighed...and than coughed a few times. The three stood in front of the stove staring down at the black, crusted piece of meat.

"Do we really have to eat that?" Raine said smelling the awful thing.

Lavi shook his head and held his nose, "Maybe we should just eat cereal for dinner." Both Raine and Tsuyosa nodded in agreement to this.

While each made their own bowl of cereal, they laughed and opened windows trying to get rid of the smell and the smoke. Finishing, up, Tsuyosa washed all the dishes from that day, and set them out to dry. "That's enough fooling around, we need to get back to work." Now in a buoyant mood, the boys made their way back to the sparring room.

Raine sighed pulling back, his clone mirroring him. He thought he was doing it right, but all he heard was 'again!'. The boy pushed himself again, the large empty room echoing with his grunts and the sound of his sandals on the stone. After a few attempts to preform By a Step, Raine stopped and looked back to Tsuyosa.

"What's wrong? Why did you stop?" Tsuyosa said bluntly.

"Eh, well you said this jutsu is supposed to protect from all sorts of attacks right?" He rubbed the back of his ear, hatching an idea.

"Hmm, yes. You're point?" Tsuyosa stepped up and lifted his chin like he usually did. With this, Raine looked to the clone, and concentrated pulling up his hands and preforming the handseals, a new clone didn't appear but a the existing clone changed. A knife popped into his hand. And with this Raine looked questioningly up at Tsuyosa, who smiled. "Of coarse, go."

Shaking off the odd feelings of the previous moment. The two Raine's backed away from each other, holding his fist up the real Raine jumped around trying to work his way into the clones stance. While the clone circled slowly trying to find an opening as well, the knife held forward and ready to strike as if it were a snake waiting to snap forward and bite. The attack came, Raine jumped into it, turning his shoulder to the knife, more afraid of seeing the blade in him now. The venom spread. The boys stepped back, looking to Tsuyosa for approval. He shook his head. "No, you had threw yourself off your stance, when you leaned too far to the side trying to get the knife to hit your shoulder. Again."

Hikaru got into his stance and began to weave a few seals as he summoned two more clones. He looked into the eyes of the clones as they stood there. he made a small nod and the clones charged him. Hikaru stepped into the attack of the clone and parried his attack like it was nothing and hit the clone with his shoulder sending it flying into the other one. both clones dispersed in a cloud of smoke. "I'm finished." Hikaru said in a voice that was not too loud as he knew the way this place was designed that you could hear a pin drop from the other side of it.

[roll pass. CP=81-2=79. 10/10 complete. i love those monkey emotes XD]

Their eyes locked, identical to each other the fierceness mixed in with determination. He was ready to do this jutsu, he was ready to prove himself as a Tekkenseisai. He would return with this jutsu no matter what he had to do. He would stay up all night long training, even without Tsuyosa's help. His fists raised up in a battle position, the clone hung low his shoulders high at his ears. They ran at each other once more. The clone knew how to get Raine, he raised the knife up to jab it down into Raine's head. But the boy dodged, pivoting to the left. The clone was caught surprised, he whipped the knife to his side to stab Raine in the side, but he uickly threw his arm in a similar way to parry the attack.

Tsuyosa smiled.

The clone growled with frustration, turning towards Raine and winding back his arm. Raine saw his chance and flung himself into the clone, their bodies colliding. Raine's feet stood strong while the clone fell back a step, his eyes widened at this and Raine flung a punch at his neck. Stopping his fist just in front of the clones chin. Both boys heaved and gasped for breath. There was silence except for their breathing. But Lavi broke this quickly enough. "Hai, Raine!" He clapped and smiled from the side of the gym. Both the boys turned to look back at him.

"Raine, I think it's safe to say that you have learned this jutsu." Tsuyosa said this crossing his arms. "On that note, go again!"

"Good again." Tsuyosa said, not paying so much attention to the boys movements as he had before. Now late in the night, probably close to the midnight hour. Tsuyosa wanted to get to sleep. It seemed that Lavi wanted to as well, nearly dead on the side of the gym. The man walked over near him, and yawned as well. He leaned back onto the wall. "You don't have to stay, he's done now." Lavi looked over to the boys punching each other in the middle of the fist. He nodded and yawned as well.

"Sounds good." He turned to walk up the stairs, leaning on the wall with his eyes closed.

Raine felt the night burn at his consciousness, he was tired too. But much too happy with learning a new jutsu. A Tekkenseisai jutsu none the less! His movement kept him up as well filling his blood with small doses of adrenaline. Again he hit the clone with his body. He was really getting the hang of it.

Raine stepped into the brightly lit hall an into his room closing the door behind him, Raine didn't even bother to turn off the lights, before throwing himself on the bed, and curling himself up in the blankets. They were nice and soft. He was so tired that he quickly fell asleep, however he woke many times in the night, sweating. Suna was much warmer than Otogakure and Raine threw off his blankets in the night.

A hard knock to his door woke him, and Raine rolled out of bed sluggishly. He turned on his lights with a yawn and looked out over the village, it was still dark. Raine sighed, and charged quickly taking his toothbrush to the end of the hall. Lavi was taking a shower, and Raine was grateful for the metal stalls, He brushed quickly and awkwardly before heading down the stairs. It smelled good actually as he entered the kitchen. Tsuyosa was busy in completely different garb, today he wore red shorts and a light silk vest buttoned at the waist. Raine smiled, a bit excited about what he was going to train today. He pulled a pulled himself up onto a chair. "I thought you couldn't cook." Raine smiled and laughed a bit remembering their adventurous dinner the night before.

Tsyuosa turned and frowned at him. "I can at least handle toast and fruit." He brought over half a two halves of a grapefruit and a charred pieces of toast, "Okay, so I can at least handle fruit." Raine smiled and stuck his fork into the fruit. Lavi came in as well his hair damp and stuck to his head.

"What are you feeding the kid, now?" he took a peek at the grapefruit and frowned. "That's it? K from now on I"m cooking." He said, kneeling down to find a pan. Tsuyosa just watched what he was doing, while he ate. Raine had to turn around and try and watch. Lavi grabbed some eggs from the fridge, and set the pan on the stove, he found a wooden spatula and his magic began. The Tekkenseisai watched and were truly astonished.

"Spent many evening cooking with mother than?" Tsuyosa attempt to crack a joke at this feminine activity.

Lavi just smiled back and said,"No my sisters and me, we don't have parents, we aren't even really related, but they made me cook all the time. So now I'm glad, because I sure wouldn't want to be eating what you're making." he dumped some sqrambled eggs onto Raine plate and took the rest for his own plate. Sitting down next to them, Raine stared happily down at the great smelling food laying in front of him before digging in. Tsuyosa instantly regretted the crack and stayed quite finishing his fruit. After they each cleaned their plates. Raine looked up to Tsuyosa, "What am I learning today!" The man smirked.

"You're learning the meaning of pain." He laughed, "Today, I'm going to put more muscle on that tiny bag of bones." At this Raine looked out a bit scarred. He led them into the weight room and smiled. It was drill time.

Raine pulled the weights up as fast as he could and as many times as he could in the given time. He wanted to impress Tsuyosa and it was so early he was still half asleep. The man turned back to see if he was doing his work, and frowned. "You're going to hurt yourself that way." he stepped over to the boy and held his arm out. "Slow down or you will pull a muscle and than you won't be able to train your arms the rest of the day. You'll have to settle for running." he said this hardly trying to frighten the boy, knowing he hated training with his legs. Raine frowned and curled his lip at this thought, instantly lsowing down. Tsuyosa stepped back smiling in his mind.
