Welcome to Gaia! ::

“Darn!” Miyuki exclaimed slightly aggravated with the situation. She dropped to her knees and began wildly clutching at the ground below hoping to grasp the item of her desire. Once covered in filthy dirt, she finally found the key. Without hesitation and without even having stood up, she placed it into the keyhole. Once open, she stood up and attempted to wipe the dirt from her hands and lower legs.

Miyuki accidentally thrust the door open too quickly, and the back of the door hit the wall with a loud thump. “Woops!” Miyuki stated while a hint of red developed across her face. “Welcome to my home,” the young girl quickly invited Sanyo inside showing her the insides of the apartment. “I have some left over dinner from last night in the fridge. I am sorry that it isn’t much; however, I do try to provide for myself as much as possible. I don’t want to be a burden to the older couple that raised me when they didn’t have to.” Miyuki was slightly embarrassed to admit her situation to others. “I can definitely do better once I am out of the shower, though; I hope you don’t mind too terribly?”

Miyuki walked over grabbing a new pair of clothes from the dressers nearby. “I have extra clothes that should probably fit you, so you can jump in after me if you would like.” After having said that, the young girl made her exit from the room into the bathroom. ‘This will be so nice after all of the hard training I’ve done today,’ she allowed the clothes to slip from her body, as she turned the knob which controlled the temperature a little over halfway. She loved the feel of warm water running against her body; it always felt like her troubles were just washing away from her body.

Miyuki stepped into the water allowing that lovely feeling to wash over her. She grabbed a nearby bar of soap which smelled of cherry blossoms; as well as, she retreated from the falling water long enough to allow the soap a chance to set. She rubbed the soap in gently allowing the foam to build up before stepping back into the water. Once finished, she grabbed some nearby shampoo and followed with conditioner. She didn’t want to waste too much time in the shower with a guest in the house. The young girl turned the water off and jumped out of the shower grabbing a nearby towel to dry off.
Miyuki quickly clothed herself and followed up with her nightly routine. This included brushing her hair and teeth, applying deodorant, and cleaning her ears among other things. Once finished, she opened the door revealing herself to her new friend Sanyo. “I really am sorry,” she stated smiling brightly as she entered the room.

“Do you plan on showering?” Miyuki questioned as she readied a pot of tea for the two of them and pulled a box from one of the cupboards. “If not, I would love to hear a little bit about you. Oh wait,” the young girl ran to her dresser real quick pulling out a semi-large tee. Then, she rummaged through another nearby drawer pulling out a pair of hot pink, bikini cut underwear. “Too much?” she stated playfully winking towards Sanyo. “Either way, I will put these over here.” The young girl laid the clothing down on a stand close to the bathroom’s entrance.

Afterwards, Miyuki continued her tasks in the make-shift kitchen. She pulled down a few containers from above, “What type of tea do you prefer?”

“Do I have jasmine tea? Of course, I do!” Miyuki replied cheerily putting away the majority of the containers. She kept only one down with which to prepare the tea. After she had taken care of the kettle heating up the water, the oven was opened to let a few goodies bake which had been prepped that morning for this very occasion; however, Miyuki had not expected to have company. She hoped the small amount that she had prepared that day would be enough for the both of them.

Afterwards, the young girl prepared a little tea set which included not only the cups but a few small plates, as well. “That was a very interesting greeting once you came into my home. Would you mind telling me a little bit about yourself, Sanyo?” Miyuki had already deduced that she was of a prestige Konoha clan. Though, that should have been obvious to anyone with such precise customs upon entering someone’s abode.

Miyuki had some time to kill before the tea and desserts were finished.

Notwen Kenkomishi

Level 1 ~ Hp: 10 ~ Cp: 9 ~ MHp: 10

After taking a short break to let his brain digest his new skills, Notwen allowed himself to move on to the next set. First in a set of three, the Dog seal seemed simple enough. Notwen arranged the fingers on his right hand to form a loose fist and placed his left hand flat over the back of it. Fairly simple. The Dragon seal was a different case. According to the way the scroll described it, its difficulty fell somewhere between that of the Bird and Boar seals. The dark-skinned boy first folded his hands the way he would if he was sitting at the desk behind him while meditating, which made a dome with his fingers. Next, he stretched out his pinkies so that they pointed down and away from his body while touching at the tips. Finally, Notwen raised his thumbs up from touching the index fingers and folded one over the other. Before moving on to the last seal in the set he weaved the Boar and Bird seals once, and the Dog and Dragon seals three times each. The Hare seal was another simple one. Basically all it was was making a finger gun with his left hand and sliding the pinky of his right over the barrel.

As the hours moved by, Sorain could feel himself slipping away. Growing to tired to think straight Sorain decided to give himself an easy one to contemplate. The monkey seal. It was the easiest seal to remember, yet it looked nothing like anything that he could relate to a monkey. However, because the seal was so simple, he figured that it should be no problem to remember. All there was to it was to simply place one open palm over another going directly across ones chest. "Hmph..why can't they all be this easy." he groaned.

Loosing his grip on consciousness, Sorain finally allowed himself to fade off into the warm embrace of sleep. He had been fighting it so long that the hard floor began to welcome him comfortingly. Slowly, his body slumped over causing the scroll to be unrolled on the floor next to him, his hands still firmly holding the Tiger seal that he had been practices just before passing out. His head throbbed slightly, a minor ache from all the studying that he had done that day, but he was sure that by mourning it would all be worth it.
