Xenon's shoulder felt the pain of the Kunai as it sunk in, but his face showed no sign he felt any pain. Dash was just playing them, holding off from using his swords or dangerous jutsu, Xenon didn't even have to read the man knowing what he did of his skills. He grit his teeth behind a calm facade. The very nerve... he'd rather lose completely and have the man give it his all, then be helpless even still while the man was just monkeying around. He pulled the Kunai from his shoulder his eyes finally narrowing in annoyance. He had to swallow his anger for now, he had to forget his growing feeling of helplessness, he had a mission to do, and he would be even more useless if he let himself be consumed by these feelings.
He twirled the kunai about his finger once before tossing it away, his wrists flicking again as three senbon appeared in each hand. 'I just need to absorb a third of his attention until the time for my Genjutsu has come... that's all...' the wound in his shoulder had hardly even spit blood. Green Chakra was surrounding it, the injury vanishing as though it itself, had been an illusion. He needed a different plan to attract attention though, senbon weren't enough...
The Kunai hit home and the second clone vanished, though the move proved pointless, as Kimiko's Chakra, diving again amidst herself and the remaining clone, once more split into three as she made another, the first clone jumping away from her current position as the replacement was born. "You'll have to do better then that Sensei!"
The Clone which had jumped away stuck itself side ways to the trunk of another tree, forming hand signs as it gathered it's own chakra. "What's the matter? Can't tell the difference huh?" her smile was one of giddy joy and pride in her accomplishment, looking more like a bouncing school girl then a Kunoichi mocking her foe. "Let me give you a hand!" the clone's fingers formed an o just beyond her lips, the Kage Bushin's breath giving birth to an enormous ball of fire. Cutting a titanous path towards its target, the attack burned several branches which got in the way to a crisp without some much as slowing down.
(edit)
Xenon's chakra 152 remaining
Kimiko's chakra: -10
Medical Technique: Minor Chakra Heal
By using one's chakra, a ninja can repair damaged muscles and skin. Through hard studies and continual practice a ninja can master the proteins in a body to help repair these injuries. [No bones can be repaired by this technique.]

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Doppelganger Technique)
Description: Unlike the normal Bunshin no Jutsu (Art of the Doppelganger), this Jutsu does not create illusions, but real bodies of the user. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone. This could be very dangerous if the user is low on chakra or makes too many clones: like with Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Multiple Shadow Clone Technique). Kage Bunshin can't be detected by Byakugan. This is because the clones are real bodies with real chakra circulatory systems, identical to the user. Though Uchiha members claim they could tell the difference, the real one also cannot be detected by the Sharingan. However, they can keep track of the original's movements. Because the clones are basically real, they can perform Jutsu and real damage on their target, and can take some hits themselves, being even able to bleed, although they'll still disappear when enough damage has been done, which is usually after one blow or fatal attack. Since the clones are exact replicas of the user, one can use them in combination with many other techniques.
Rank: B
Cp cost: 10 per bunshin and resulting CP divided by number of Clones created
Damage: Clones have same stats as you.
Requirements: Chakra 50+, Must be from Konoha or taught by a Leaf Ninja.
Training days: 5 days.
Special: *Clones can use any Jutsu the user can so long as they have the CP. They cannot recover chakra.
*Any cutting/piercing attacks will instantly disperse clones.
Clone HP = Remaining CP + 2 per 10 in Ninjutsu Skill of User (this means your clone using Jutsu is also killing itself)

(Why the double post? An edit gone wrong? Also, where are you getting the dc for half damage, dc for xero damage? Is it one without her 2 per 10 ninjutsu added onto the dc? Just curious smile )
Dash quickly pulled forward and centered himself for attacks. He couldn't stand like this in front of them just to take hits. They were using their usual attacks and he was severely unimpressed. A scowl grew on his face, the jounin was growing angry with his team.
He flung up his sword, thinking of which one to attack first. The man was trying not to think as he would in a real battle, in which he would quickly take one out after the other based on their iminent threat to him. It would go Xen, Kimiko, Raine. Xen's genutsu would render him useless and he could be easily taken out with Taijutsu. Where Kimiko and Raine both posed serious damage, Kimiko was longer range and had more tricks then Raine. She too would be easily beaten with his katana. As Raine would take the longest to subdue, he would be last, so Dash could focus on him without worrying about the others. Though, if he did that he would completely ruin their chances of using teamwork and strategy. He shrugged as all of this went through his head in a second. They were strong though. If he didn't want to get his a** kicked he should probably just do that.
Kimiko's clone exploded, the man stay expressionless, readying to jump to attack Xen or deal with Kimiko's fire jutsu. He breathed deeply, watching for their next move.
"You'll have to do better then that Sensei!" he was offended at the comment. It seemed so hypocritical at the moment. They were so predictable, her hands flickered and he shook his head without speaking. Sticking his katana down quickly and formed his own hand signs. As he saw the first sparks from near Kimiko's lips he dropped to the ground, smashed his palm into the dirt. Almost instantly the ground shook violently and rose into a massive wall that reached the height of the tallest trees on the grounds and the width of the house. Dash, watched as the the earth glowed red from the heat on the other side, then began to crumble away. With a sigh he picked up his sword. The majority of the wall fell back into a long pile that he stepped over.
"Respect goes both ways. This is the same for many things. Such as the effort each of us present against each other. I've asked you to do something and you are not. Mutual respect does not exist right now."

Dodge: 23
Raine barely saw a flicker of light before the Kuani hit him. He was startled and stepped back to check the damage. He had been hit in the leg, but surely enough his muscles stood strong and he barely felt a pin p***k. He laughed pulling it out and putting it in his pocket. He had six left.
Raine watched Kimiko from below, waiting for his chance to jump through the flames. He saw the fire spark and readied himself to burst through it, but the ground shook under him and a massive wall of earth rose in front of Kimiko's fire. He was left breathless. Completely taken back, but by the fact that a wall of earth had just risen from the ground and the fact that Kimiko's most powerful offensive jutsu had just been wasted! He chanced looking up to her and then back to Dash, who was appearing from behind the crumbling wall. He leaned down ready to spring.
"Respect goes both ways. This is the same for many things. Such as the effort each of us present against each other. I've asked you to do something and you are not. Mutual respect does not exist right now."
Raine grit his teeth. How could he say that! They were doing everything they could, and he didn't even know about his surprise attack. He couldn't give it away though, they would just have to let Dash think they were failures for a little longer. He shot a glance back to Xen, "Come on! Where's the genjutsu or the super duper thing you've got up your sleeve?" He didn't really know why he said it, he knew the plan. Xen was saving the big guns for Raine surprise attack, still the boy thought he would be doing more than wasting senbon.
The Tekkenseisai shot forward as lightning. Kimiko had her chance and now it was his turn! He jumped up as he went, getting high over Dash head and slamming down with his blades. Punching at his chest and slashing for his leading hand.

((Yeah, El says the Guilds are undergoing an over haul or something. confused And actually, that Jutsu, I guess because it's so big, has that listed under it's reflex save. It tells how to get the DC, and then that you must surpass it by ten or get a neutral twenty for no damage. That's how I got them.))
Xenon's expression ticked. It was like he was being attacked from both sides now. "Mutual...respect..." he muttered.
And Remember Xen," his father said to him with a smile "The most important thing between a Doctor and Patient, is the same as it is between a master and student, best friends, or even Husband and wife." he ruffled his sons hair, chuckling at how rapt his childish attention seemed upon his words. "Mutual respect."
"Why would anyone of us respect YOU!?" his expression was suddenly twisted by rage, a rare enough thing in itself, but this seemed the last straw which broke the camels back. "You demand things like teamwork, and are too stupid to realize it when it appears right before you, you call us brats and you demean our efforts despite how hard we've worked to get this far." his hand shifted quickly into hand signs, his eyes starting to gain that faint shimmer as his chakra coursed through his eyes involuntarily in his anger. "You measure us by your standards alone, and if we act in any other way besides that which you are expecting, you insult us..." his face was now in a snarl. "I thought I could put up with you because of your skill, but this is it," his eyes seemed to pulse with even more wrath. "I can't endure another second without seeing it...without seeing terror in your expression!!" his hands completed the signs "You want something new? I will grant your request! Hiding Camouflage technique!" Before even an ounce of truth to these last words could be measured, Xenon seemed to fade away into vapor...at least he did to anyone who was caught in his Genjutsu.
Now obscured from Dash's attention until he broke the Genjutsu, and he wouldn't, Xenon shouted to his team. "Attack him with everything you have!! He wants team work, let's show him, we'll continue with the plan if he can even still move after this!" his expression was now cold, almost frighteningly. "Though I'd be terribly impressed..." He was putting every ounce of his mastery of his craft into this, fear, desperation, hopelessness, fear of death, certainty of death, death itself. These were this Genjutsu's true weapons. They brought them out of the victim, even if they weren't there, it took the strongest of minds to resist it in the hands of a skilled user if they weren't expecting it, and even if they were, not only was it still difficult to break, but the trauma was the same regardless.... such was his powerful technique to date... Jubaku Satsu. 'Tell me Dash Sensei...what do you fear most?!'
Kimiko, all three of them in fact, smiled with pride as Dash Sensei continued to be unimpressed by their efforts. He was falling for their plan hook line and sinker. This was perfect! He didn't even realize that she was using the Kage Bushin yet! Okay, now it was time to- But then, something happened Kimiko had only seen once. Once, and that had been more then enough for her. Maboroshi snapped. She could almost feel the chill down her spine as she saw the unfamiliar expression her friends face. She'd seen him angry a few times, but rage like this was different from anger in the way a glass of water was different from the ocean. He was about to do something drastic, and she knew she needed to stop whatever it might be. "Maboroshi wait!" All three Kimiko's called in warning "What about-"
"Attack him with everything you have!! He wants team work, let's show him, we'll continue with the plan if he can even still move after this!"
All three Kimiko's looked slightly hesitant for a moment. She knew she should probably try to stop Maboroshi but then it might just make things worse at this point. What was it that Dash Sensei had said that set him off? Maboroshi rarely ever let people get to him like this... she didn't have time to dwell on it though. All three clones turned there gaze toward their sensei their hands forming signs as their eyes seemed to harden. She just hoped Maboroshi knew what he was doing. Normally she didn't have any trouble trusting him, surprisingly, but when he lost his temper like this, well who knew what he was going to do.
"Grand Fireball Jutsu!!!!" Kimiko and her clone all let loose three Identical balls of fire, their aim true as they sped towards Dash, who, If Maboroshi's claim held any ground, was now trapped within his Genjutsu.
((Note: If the Genjutsu hits, just follow the Jutsu's description below, though when Xen appears out of the tree, have him be almost demonically sinister, and have him say something to the effect of. "What's the matter Sensei, isn't this what you asked for?!" before stabbing Dash's throat with a hand full of Senbon...or, since that probably wouldn't really kill him, if you want to be more creative, Giant Scythe whatever, go nuts where the weapons/manner of Death is concerned. Just an Illusion after all.)

( damn I thought you were going to do shadow illusion when you said that XD, I had this whole little thing planned out. I'll try and make it work.)
Dash pulled his blade up as Raine charged, moving his stance for Raine's attack. Though Raine got in so quickly and so close there was really nothing he could do, only feel the blades as he worked his way back where he could maneuver his katana. The boy got a lucky shot though, hitting one of Dash's previously broken ribs. It snapped in his chest and he sucked in a painful breath but didn't scream. The blade cut his right forearm and Dash managed to jump back. His focus was on Raine, he needed to get up to Xen where he couldn't be reached by this kid.
As he glanced upward for the first time he noticed Xen yelling. He caught the last of a sentence. respect YOU!?
Raine stopped to listen to Xen utterly surprised. His blades dropped as he looked up to the boy above them, who he had always known as cool and calculating.
"You demand things like teamwork, and are too stupid to realize it when it appears right before you, you call us brats and you demean our efforts despite how hard we've worked to get this far."
He was utterly confused. They were going with the plan. Making him think they were acting like usual.
"I thought I could put up with you because of your skill, but this is it,"
Raine eyes shot open. Oh no! He whipped back to Dash. Who was sort of crouching and who was looking up with silver cold. He looked down at the ground for a moment. This was it, Xen was going to kill him or something.
Yet the man looked back up. Xen was gone, he looked to where he once stood. Dash thought he knew what was coming, the shadow imitation. He whispered to the figure that wasn't there anymore, "You wouldn't understand." he dropped his sword next to him. "I couldn't bear to see you die."
He heard something behind him and his eyes flicked up. Branches snatched him and pulled him back. Trying to struggle forward, his broken rib shot pain through him. The jounin simply grit his teeth as his back met the wall. Was this the Maraboshi's new skill. He whipped his head around, trying to break free. An odd pull of bark sounded above him and he looked above him. Xenon.
""What's the matter Sensei, isn't this what you asked for?!"
He glared up at the figure, his eyes hidden behind the glare of the glasses. The man was silent. Xen pulled out a small knife, with a bent and broken wooden handle. He knew that knife, he dreamed of that knife.
"Where did you get that?" he was still calm and cold. The boy didn't answer he simply pulled the knife forward and set it against his neck.
Dash breathed easily his face the very essence of stern. "Don't bother trying to make me afraid. Just do it."
The knife cut into his throat and Dash closed his eyes, feeling it sink deeper and drag through his flesh. Blood poured out over him, and it felt warm. His last breath was taken through his open windpipe before his head slumped down.
The man standing before Raine and Kimiko dropped to the ground. Raine stared astonished. What had Xen done? He stepped forward to try and help, but then he heard a roar of fire. Horror fell over his face. "NO!!!!" Their sensei disappeared under the flames. "Kimiko stop! What are you doing!" He flung up his hands to wave to her. It wasn't right to do this to him. He had already lost. Not to mention, that wasn't strategy, it just seemed cruel. They were ruining any chance they had of using their plan and proving themselves to Dash.

(( eek Oh, sorry, I just thought that since you wanted to end it quickly I should give it my all. wink But that was perfect! That was exactly what I what I wanted Dash to say almost down the letter *Giddy excitement* Now Xenon's self torture can commence! xd ))
Xenon felt the brief satisfaction, the thrill of power, of having dealt a blow against the man. He could tell that there was no way he was going to escape, no way he was going to be able to break THIS Genjutsu. Let him laugh now, let him loiter above and look down on him...let him-
"You wouldn't understand." he dropped his sword next to him. "I couldn't bear to see you die."
Xenon's eyes suddenly went wide, his own face suddenly looking unmistakably shocked. He tried to pull back the Genjutsu almost unconsciously, but his intense training made it impossible. The Jutsu had run it's course, and their squad leader collapsed, Xenon's eyes still wide. It was...it was just like...
**"Run Xen! Go! They won't follow you!"
"I know you'll be a good boy...my Xen."**
The shock had slowly abated from his face, like a wave passing out to shore. What remained seemed to convey a bitter taste in his mouth, his eyes on the fallen Jounin. "I see... so that was it." he clenched his fists, giving a grim expression. "You're wrong...I do understand."
So Dash was forcing them to grow, forcing them to become strong in the same way they were driving themselves, driving them even harder in his own way...all so they wouldn't die... How...ironic. But did that mean he cared for their lives even more then they did themselves?
Xenon watched the flames consume their Sensei with a seemingly detached look, as though he wasn't really seeing Dash at all. He closed his eyes and dropped down from the tree canopy, landing below in a crouch before stanmding straight again. "I admit defeat. You're illusion trumped my own by a mile..." he turned around, facing away from his team, ignoring Raine's protests. "I'm sorry...for still being too weak." he then started to walk away, his eyes facing down ward as he slowly but surely made to depart.
"Maboroshi!"
Xenon was stopped cold as a hard grip grasp him by the collar. He looked coldly into the eyes of Kimiko Momoe, his gaze unflinching as she glared at him, the two clones still in the tree's above.
"What do you think you're doing using a powerful Genjutsu like that just for training!? What did you do to Sensei!? When you said give it all you've got I didn't think you would actually try and- Hey! Look at me!"
"Let me go." he said indifferently.
Kimiko shook him slightly, having lifted him off the ground an inch or so. "Why did you go crazy like that!? What happened to always keeping your cool huh?! What, was your pride that hurt!? Are you gonna cry!?" Kimiko was by far more angry then she could recently recall. Maboroshi wasn't supposed to lose his temper like this, he was always suppose to be even tempered and in control, he wasn't allowed to just snap and walk away without giving her an explanation, he wasn't-
What right she have to talk to him of pride? Kimiko was a fool, she knew little of fear, she was almost without it entirely, and that was why she was weaker then him. Without fear to master, to erase with ones one will, one was merely reckless. Were those pretty illusions of naivete about her to break...then she would know his pain, then she could understand him! "Kimiko...let. Me. Go."
Kimiko's anger didn't go away, but her eyes widened in a margin of surprise at his tone. He'd never spoken to her like that before, but maybe this was a good sign, maybe it meant that at least she had gotten somewhere. "Are you angry Maboroshi!? What happened to anger being pointless!? Didn't you say that?! What happened to you being so strong!? You think I'm just going to let you call yourself weak and walk away from a fight~!!?"
Xenon's expression didn't change. Why was he even bothering to entertain such thoughts? Breaking Kimiko's illusions? he would never wish such a thing, it was who she was that made her his friend. He needed to get himself under control, to somehow tame this burning emotion that had sprung up in him during the fight with dash...no...not a fight. "A fight? Is that what you call this?" his eyes drifted to where flames of Kimiko's chakra had diminished, revealing Dash. "This was no fight Kimiko-san...it was a lesson, and I failed."
Kimiko's face turned now into one of full surprise. Maboroshi was admitting to having failed at something with such a serious expression...an almost regretful expression, what was it xmas or something? "Maboroshi..."
Xenon turned his gaze back to Kimiko "And you're right Kimiko-san, anger is pointless, but I'm only human... Understanding the truth and living by it, no, feeling it, are different things entirely." he sighed, looking suddenly tired. "I'm still too weak. I lost to my anger and let you both down...no, you three down."
Before Kimiko could say anything else however, Xenon suddenly vanished from her grip, back to back with her an instant later via a Shunshin. The sudden move startled her but she didn't move as Xenon continued.
"He'll be fine, I doubt that even those vicious attacks were enough to keep him down." he proceeded to walk away "Tell him what I said will you? I have to go."
Kimiko looked almost annoyed now, crossing her arms. "Which part?" she chided almost sarcastically.
"That I was sorry, and that he was mistaken...I do understand now..." he lingered for a moment. 'Do you think that your the only one Dash? The only one with something you can't lose?' he stiffened slightly. 'What a frightening sensation...' he then continued to walk on, hands going into his pockets. 'I must...become stronger...' Now he understood...that emotion which had emerged...self loathing. He remembered it like a distant memory, lost so long ago with his childhood, now only to be brought back by his own weakness. If he didn't find a way to grow stronger, to calm this storm in his mind again...he wouldn't be able to look in the mirror again...
"?! B-but, hey Maboroshi! Where are you going! Hey! What does that even mean!? Maboroshi! OOHHH! YOU STUPID JERK! FINE THEN! BE THAT WAY!" she huffed looking irritatedly at his back. "Idiot..."she clenched her fists at her side. "Idiot..."
-2 chakra
Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
A high-speed movement technique. It is described as 'appearing with the wind and disappearing like the wind.' A very basic jutsu, it appears that most shinobi above Genin-rank know it. Using chakra to activate the body, the user is able to move from one point to another with extreme speeds. This super-fast movement is almost impossible to see with the naked eye. To a normal person, it would seem as if the user has teleported. The amount of Chakra used depends on the distance and elevation between the user and the destination.
Cp cost: 1 per ft
Damage: N/A
Requirements: Dexterity 20+
Training days: 3 days.
Special: When rolling initiation checks or racing, or anything that involves speed, add chk mod to the dice roll.

(Beautiful! Bravo my friend! That was unimaginably enjoyable XD. And a perfect way to end the fight. Also Dash's text color is orangered if you ever need that biggrin )
Raine stood motionless for a moment as he watched Xen drop from above, solemnly admitting his defeat.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" he said to himself as he stepped forward, unsure of weather to stop Xen or help Dash-sensei. This kid was acting insane. Raine stopped at Dashes unconscious body, he lay face down and his coat was burned away to reveal his back that was red. Countless scars from slashes of blades where carved into his flesh and he scowled. Raine never would have imagined. Yet there was mroe going on. Xen still had some explaining to do and it seemed that Kimiko had stepped up to get some answers. Raine stepped up closer to here their conversation.
Kimiko shook him slightly, having lifted him off the ground an inch or so. "Why did you go crazy like that!? What happened to always keeping your cool huh?! What, was your pride that hurt!? Are you gonna cry!?" Kimiko was by far more angry then she could recently recall. Maboroshi wasn't supposed to lose his temper like this, he was always suppose to be even tempered and in control, he wasn't allowed to just snap and walk away without giving her an explanation, he wasn't-
Raine was just as astounded and angered as she was it seemed. His fists tightened around his blades and he wanted to give Xen a good one right in the teeth. What he did.... it was just wrong.
"Kimiko...let. Me. Go."
Raine gasped silently. Even though Xen seemed like a cold guy, when he was with Kimiko.... Raine had never hear Xen speak to her like that. Raine listened as they went on stepped ever closer. Fighting the urge to whip the boy around and give him some iron knuckles. He didn't understand the depth of Xen's anger, his fear. He didn't understand why Xen was acting the way he was now, only thinking that he was ashamed of hurting Dash so badly.
"This was no fight Kimiko-san...it was a lesson, and I failed."
"Yeah, we've all failed. Because of you, butt-head." Even though he said this, Raine slightly new that this wasn't what Xen meant. As if there was some other lesson that he had failed. The young boy had no clue as to what that might be though.
"And you're right Kimiko-san, anger is pointless, but I'm only human... Understanding the truth and living by it, no, feeling it, are different things entirely." he sighed, looking suddenly tired. "I'm still too weak. I lost to my anger and let you both down...no, you three down."
Raine pulled back setting his fists on his waist. "Come on shut up about this weakness stuff. You're acting completely insane and just by saying sorry isn't going to fix that." he pointed back to their sensei's body. He was silent as Xen used his shushin. Now walking away. Kimiko still spoke to him but Raine hung his head.
"Coward." Then he was gone and Raine looked up. "I really don't get that kid." the lingering oder of ash reminded him of Dash laying on the ground. He walked back standing over him in silence. "That wasn't very cool of you to hit him with the fire jutsu either. Unless you didn't know he was down. But still..." he didn't want a fight, but he thought it was really the fire was uncalled for. "Well anyway. I'm going to take him to the hospital now." He leaned down and rolled his sensei over. The front of his shirt and coat intact. He wore an odd expression of peace for some reason. Slowly Raine pulled him up into a sitting position and hoisted the man up over his shoulder. Dash was much bigger then himself, but strength training with Aoshiro had made it easier.
"See you later, Kimi."

Kimiko clenched her fists even tighter, her knuckles looking pale. 'Maboroshi...what right to do you have to say your weak huh? What makes you think you've got the right to say that? If you're weak...what does that make me huh? Idiot...'
Coward."
Kimiko's eyes opened slightly as her head tilted up.
""I just don't get that guy..."
No, no Raine didn't get Maboroshi at all. Coward? Kimiko's eyes were narrow as she looked at where her rival had been. Her clones dropped down beside her. Maboroshi was the exact opposite, or maybe, other extreme was the word. Cowards ran away from what they afraid of, Maboroshi's entire approach was completely the reverse. "You're wrong..." she muttered, her clones merely looking at her for instruction. "Maboroshi... he doesn't run from things afraid of...." she looked at Dash and a strange sort of understanding crept into her eyes. "That...that's what he does to things he's afraid of." she looked suddenly angry. "That idiot!!" she stomped her foot. "How the heck did expect himself to be stronger then a Jounin, why would he even..." her complaint died on her lips.
"I gain power so that I may protect my own interests, so that i may care about what I wish without fear of losing it."
He'd said it then, during the mission. He'd not said it so directly, but it was clear. Maboroshi was afraid of not being able to fight, of being helpless, but instead of merely not caring about anything...
He'd admitted that he was her friend, even if he didn't really seem fond of the idea. That idiot...is that why he wanted to become so strong? So he could protect-
"ARGH! I'm gonna beat the heck out of that idiot." she knew her words had no weight though, even as she saw a black crow head off towards the direction Maboroshi had gone, she knew that she wouldn't hurt Maboroshi over this. In a way, and she knew this was stupid, she understood what Maboroshi was going through.
She then let out a loud sigh, her clones now mimicking her. "And I'll bet he'll come back all," she pulled an uncanny impression of her rival with a fake sunny smile. "Oh Kimiko, good morning, is something wrong? You seem agitated." the three Kimiko's rolled their eyes, resuming their natural expression. "Tcht..."
"That wasn't very cool of you to hit him with the fire jutsu either. Unless you didn't know he was down. But still..."
Kimiko looked over at Raine somewhat unaffected, clearly still fuming over Maboroshi's actions. "Maboroshi told me to attack, so I did..." she looked slightly pink in the cheeks for a moment "I mean, it's not like I enjoy taking orders from that guy, it's just...well when it came to fighting, he hadn't steered me wrong yet..." she looked Raine with drooping lids. "You didn't hold back either you know..." she looked at Dash.
"Besides," she noted more calm. "I don't think Dash Sensei's hurt bad, he told us to not hold back, I think he was probably prepared for this to happen." she crossed her arms looking a bit more cheerful. "And besides he managed to smack some sense into Maboroshi so he'd probably be happy...at least..." she scratched the back of her head looking puzzled "I think he did...it's hard to tell with that jerk." she shrugged, her two clones dissapating as her chakra returned to her. "Well, I guess we'll see next time, but I bet I'm right. Maboroshi learned something from this." she smiled "I don't think it'll happen again anyway."
"Well anyway. I'm going to take him to the hospital now."
"Oh..." she blinked as Raine hoisted Dash unto his back, taking him off somewhere. "Um...okay." she looked like she wanted to help him for a moment, but decided she had something else she had to do. "I'll... see you later then."
"See ya Kimi."
Kimiko headed off, her eyes suddenly alight once more with fire. Maboroshi was going to come back a better person for this, so she had to as well...if she fell to far behind him, there was a chance it might just happened again...and there was no way she'd let that happen. No needed to protect her, she was the heroine, it was HER job to protect people, and her anti-hero needed to remember that...

To be stronger...Heroines effort Explodes!!

Train: 7/50
Roll:11+8=19
Kimiko arrived at the training grounds after a quick change back into her normal cloths, and reapplying of the training weights. She didn't really have much care for indoors when there was a bright sun outside anyway, maybe her training would be better served here. And besides, she reminded herself. What good was having such a nice training ground to your team if you didn't use it?
She walked straight on past the building, making her way instead towards the back of the training ground, where the tiny lake was. She normally didn't like water she couldn't see into at all, but she was fine just looking at it...so long as she didn't actually have to get in it. She shivered at the thought.
She begin he routine once more...

Kimiko much approved of her decision, the sun on her shoulders was a much better background for her work then her basement, even if he she did like having such a spacious place to practice in her own home. Walking up the side of a tree overlooking the lake, Kimiko flipped herself upside down, dangling by her legs, and proceeded to do sit ups, completely fearless of falling at this point. As she had said on a previous occasion, she liked high places. Looking out over beautiful scenery was one of her favorite pastimes, and now that she could walk on walls and trees, it was all the more plausible for her. She still remembered the first thing she did after the academy was put out of commission being her climbing up the tallest tree in the public training grounds. That was no small endeavor for her at the time either.
