Sakazuki would've intervened... If only she was present. Already, the Circe had left the campsite, roaming off into the growing darkness in search of the nearest source of water. While of course, she could have utilized what was stored in the gourd, she didn't quite know when the next time they would come across running water; thus, it was much safer to merely secure a water source now. After several seconds of walking, the witch slowed to a stop, while the campsite wasn't very far behind her, the sound of running water had reached her ears. It wasn't loud, like a rapid, nor was it a lowly flower of a barely moving brook. It was caught somewhere in between and after several moments later, Sakazuki had arrived at it's source. The night had made it's surface black, but within the moonlight, she could see the water ripple and move like a wavy set of dark glass.
While it was faster moving than she would've hoped, now was not the time to be picky. Without removing her garments then, the Circe stepped into the water...
=======
"Hm?"
The soft noise came as an automatic response to the cowgirl's 'Umm' as the Mayonaka snapped from her daze, her eyes once again focusing on the cowgirl in front of her. While it took several moments for Shuku to realize that the woman was in a state of discomfort, she soon caught on as she felt silent again, her hands stopping as the nut that she was cleaning in her hand rolled down her fingers to rejoin it's kin in the pile of nature's bounty. Stunned by momentary shock, the Moon Kunoichi took a breath, nearly gagging as he throat suddenly felt dry. "...Would you like assistance, Mei?" She asked, the words sounding quite foreign coming from her lips. However, she then gave Lieselotte a 'give me a minute' look before she rose to her feet. One gentle hand taking that of the chimera's then, Shuku lead Mei off into the nearest clearing that would shield their operations from view.
It was then however, that a rather troublesome fact had arrived in Shuku's mind: she had never milked a cow. Ever. She had seen it done, yes, but to do it on her own? Never.

After his shuriken and kunai practice he decided to give himself a break after all. "So much for that 'nobody is gonna stop me' attitude of mine earlier. Then again I'm not gonna stop. Nope not gonna stop." Oddly he fell asleep as he was talking. Soon he started to dream about becoming a powerful ninja with deadly techniques of his own. His little nap had taken a total of thirty minutes of his day. When he woke up he was a bit shocked to see where he was, but after a quick look around he remembered what had happened. "A good stretch, then a warm up, and then some weight lifting should get me more... um ready I guess?" Rokuo said as he mumbled to himself while getting off of the ground. Soon enough one could find Rokuo doing several styles of stretching and warm up techniques. The next thing that he started to do was collect all of the kunai and shuriken he used before. When he had he counted them quickly and placed them each in their bags to make the weight equal. Then he placed the bags on the staff and brought them closer towards the middle. Here he started to work on his biceps and wrists. After a minute or so he switched it up with some squats, which nearly killed him. He then went on to do several other lifting work outs.

Rokuo soon figured it would be in his best interest to get some more rest. But before he went to sleep again he remembered another way of rest. His sensei showed him it earlier that month. It was somewhat boring but at times he knew he liked it. "Oh yeah... meditating." Rokuo said as he sat up on the ground. He crossed his legs and rested his hands in his lap with the back of them down. His elbows slowly moved with his sides as he inhaled and exhaled deeply. Eyes closed, inhale with nose, and exhale with the mouth was what he was taught. During his little meditation he had started to think of some things. Sadly they weren't to his benefit as much as they should have been. Most of his thoughts had been petty things such as what he was gonna eat that night and other nonsense. Though as time went by he soon found himself to be losing thoughts. He finally became blank minded for once. At last his meditation training had been complete throughout the month.

Rokuo had gotten through a long day. He didn't train during the day since he knew the energy he had was going to be needed tonight. As he walked down the street he looked up into the sky. It was a perfect night. The stars were shining bright along with the moon giving him a good sense of sight. A smile had come to his face but it ended after it had arrived. He was excited, it was quiet, calm, peaceful, and he was going to learn jutsu during that time.
Eventually he arrived at the academy school to see the teacher waiting for him outside of the door. "I figured you would have come early." He said as he continued to lean against the building. "Of course I was going to be here early. I would never want to miss out on something like this. But why did you come early?" He asked as he stepped onto the academy property. "Nothing better to do actually. I finished with the last student early. He finished the test quicker than I expected. I had enough time to grade the test and readied the mail to be given to him." The teacher as he pushed off the building. He then walked over towards Rokuo and stopped a few feet away. "So how did he do?" Rokuo asked out of curiosity. "I'm afraid I can't tell you. That's teacher stuff and not student stuff to know. So shall we leave since it seems both of us are ready?" He asked as he started to walk off in the distance. "Well I take it you already know my answer since you are already walking away." Rokuo said as he chuckled while jogging to catch up to his teacher.
The two walked the lengthy distance in a slow pace. They had no reason to rush since they were already ahead of their original schedule. The bright night was proving to be a perfect night. There was a gentle warm breeze passing through them from time to time. Tonight was a complete student and sensei night. "You do know after tonight you won't see me as much right?" The teacher said as they walked down the empty trail. "Well from the looks of things you don't see your friends as much when you get further in life. I've accept that already. Sure I'll miss having fun at the academy, but I know you'll get another student like me at some point. As for me I'll always be having fun no matter what the circumstance is." Rokuo said as he shrugged his shoulders. "Any circumstance huh? So here is a scenario for you to try and get some fun. Say you have just knocked up your first girl, you find out that you have an S.T.I. and she doesn't know it. You ditch the village and run into an Akatsuki member who is about to kill you. Luckily he leaves after seeing you have an S.T.I. with some jutsu of his and doesn't want to get it from your blood. You are relieved of him leaving you. You continue on with your little adventure and come to another village. There you start a new life and meet a new girl. You tell her about your S.T.I. before you get your groove on, turns out she has the same one and you both decided to get the jello jigglin'. Then later as you get married and live your life everything seems happy. The Akatsuki you saw in the past has just killed your wife and actually is your first girlfriend that you had knocked up. She's standing right in front of you about to kill you... How are you going to get fun out of that?" The teacher ranted on randomly with the scenario. As he had talked he continuously moved his hands and gave off a few laughs from time to time. "Oh well that's easy." Rokuo said with a big grin on his face. "How so?" The teacher asked with interest due to hearing that Rokuo had possibly found a way to have fun in that situation. "I would simply watch her try to kill me. She would swing and miss because I would be in my rocking chair. After she swings she would break a hip and fall down. Her head hits the side of my chair and she had killed my wife who would probably be old and naggy making me even happier." Rokuo said as the two of them had started to bust out laughing as they walked down the trail.

As the time passed by the teacher had gotten an idea. Rokuo oblivious to this idea first but soon he got the feeling something was going to happen. "You wanna try something fun then? It'll also be pretty funny." The teacher said as the two were now half way to their training spot. The training spot was simply the same one that Rokuo had trained at the other day. "Funny as is; funny ha ha, or funny queer?" Rokuo asked with a confused on his face. The teacher gave off a short laugh from his question. "Funny ha ha I suppose. Anyways, I want you to focus on that chakra of yours. Remember what I've been telling you about just now? Well focus that chakra on your feet. Not the top but the soles of your feet. When you feel you have done this I want you to run up a tree along this trail and see if you'll stick to it. Normally sensei's would have their student focus while standing still. However I am different and want you to excel. Plus I'm sure you'll get the hang of it at the rate you've come. So just remember focus on your soles and when you are ready go for it. I'll be watching." The teacher said confidently. "Well no s**t you'll be watching. You're the one going to be laughing. Hmm, I should try and see if I can do a flip along with this." Rokuo mumbled to himself after he heard what his sensei had wanted him to do. After a few minutes of concentrating Rokuo felt he was ready to run up a tree. He nodded to let his sensei know that he was about to attempt the tree climbing jutsu. He darted forward with good momentum along for the ride. He jumped in the air and extended his right foot out and touched the tree right toes first. He then pushed upwards and brought his left foot up to make contact with the tree. As soon as he went to bring his right leg up a squirrel had jumped down from the tree to latch onto Rokuo's face. The small squirrel had broken Rokuo's focus and made him slide down the tree and land flat on the ground. He then started to roll and try to grab the little furry demon attacking his face. Eventually he had gotten a hold of the tiny creature. He held it by its neck tightly and was breathing heavily. Anger and annoyance was all that you could see in the young ninja's face. He then chucked the small squirrel aside to hear it give off a funny sounding squeal. "You knew these trees were infested with protective squirrels didn't you?" Rokuo said flatly as he watched his sensei rolling on the ground laughing. The teacher had suddenly stopped laughing and gave a flat face. "No actually. I did find that last part funny though." The teacher said as he began to laugh even harder than he was before. "Find this funny?" Rokuo said as he pushed his sensei's legs sideways with one of his own to send the teacher spinning. When he had done a complete one eighty spin Rokuo had gone to punch in dead in the face. The sensei sensed something was up when his feet were pushed. With a quick and easy reaction he held Rokuo's balled up fist with a single hand. "Rokuo. If you wish to punch me or kill for a stupid matter such as this then I will not teach you at all. A joke is a joke, you should know this more than anyone." The teacher said in a monotone. Rokuo looked him dead in the eye with hate. "Actually, I wasn't going to punch you... The funny part." Rokuo quickly pulled his hand away and slapped his sensei with a hand full of maple syrup from the tree. This, the sensei did not see coming since Rokuo did it quickly and stealthy. Now half of his face was sticky and warm. His eyes closed and a flat face remained. "I hate you and I should have seen something like that coming. Especially coming from you. Then again I suppose I do deserve it, after all I did fill these trees with nuts and it is their little protective season." He said as his eyes remained closed. "Ah, but that would make you a hypocrite if you hate your student. You should know me by now. I mean come on, when I get extremely pissed off I go and train. I never go and take it out on someone... To me that's just wrong." Rokuo said as he pulled his hand off of his teacher's face. Thick lines of syrup appeared as his hand separated from the teacher's face. Rokuo then began to poor water and used some rags to get it completely off of themselves. "Oh shut up Rok. My age is catching up to me quicker than I want it to." He said as he cleaned himself off.
Eventually the two of them had arrived at the training spot. With the time they had to spare they managed to arrive at the spot when they planned to meet each other at the academy. "Well I see the marks that you made for the kunai training. And form the looks of the marks around them it seems you've gotten a heck of a lot better since last time I saw your results." The teacher commented on the tree marks around the place. "Ha ha, thanks. Yeah though I don't really like using them much. I'm starting to find myself being a close range fighter if anything." Rokuo replied as he tightened his gauntlets. "Well, just give it some time and you will eventually find your true calling as a ninja." His sensei replied. "Yeah to kill maybe will be the true calling." Rokuo's conscience answered before he could think of anything. Rokuo then shook his head. He was almost amazed by what he had just thought of. "Did I seriously just think that?" Rokuo thought to himself as a puzzled expression came upon his face. "Is something puzzling you Rok? If not then you must make faces for fun I suppose. After all you can find fun out of the oddest things." His sensei comment on Rokuo's facial expression. "Huh? Oh its nothing. I just thought up of something. Kind of forgot it already though." He said giving a weak laugh while scratching his head. "Well, let's start with that transformation that I've seen and heard so much about." Rokuo said eagerly as he snapped back into focus.
The two of them went on to practicing the entire night, more than they had planned on training even. Rokuo had just completed his training as an academy student. His sensei was even more shocked to experience seeing how quick his student could get the hang of new jutsus... with in half an hour even. The two of them were both laying down on their backs. One being completely drained of energy and was actually asleep from the lack of energy. The other was simply laying down for some rest. Rokuo being the sleeping one of course. "Well I can't let you fall asleep out here again. You'll catch a cold or something of the sort." The teacher said as he sat up to face Rokuo from a far. "You've done a hell of a job kid. You will definitely get far in this crazy world of ours."

 Honehime watched as Sakazuki seemed to come to a conclusion, and then turned and walked off into the forest once more, vanishing into the depths of those dark branches. She had said she was going to go bathe herself, was she going to go do that now? She wondered. The forest was this close to the Academy, so it was supposedly safe, but even so, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to have someone guard the Circe while she washed up. Of course, Honehime's own inclinations as a voyeur likely played a huge part in this, as she decided that she would follow the Circe, and make sure nothing happened to her. Even if she did happen to forget to tell Sakazuki she would be following her. (7646 words + 130 words = 7776 words)  Lieselotte continued to try not to pay too close of attention to what the others were doing. Even so, she kept glancing up in spite of herself, to continue to see what developed. Soon, Sakazuki left, ostensibly in search of a stream or smaller river to wash in. Only a moment later, Shuku and Mei went off in another direction, likely to help Mei with her milk. Lieselotte's cheeks tinged pink at that, and she tried to think of anything else to occupy her mind. Looking up, one of the few other people in camp caught her gaze. Kuroshika seemed to have completed, or very nearly completed, repairing his blade. She was too far away to see the words, or the crow, or the crow's eye. Instead, she was able to see him pass out, and got up to see if he needed help. (8487 words + 146 words = 8633 words)  Mei could only nod helplessly as Shuku asked her a second time if she would need help. Her cheeks were blazing red by now, and her heart was hammering so quickly that she could have sworn it was making her entire body shiver. When Shuku got up and walked up to her, she had to stop herself from taking a step back, suddenly nervous and apprehensive. But she steeled herself, knowing that she was helping them get their meal for the night. Even so, when Shuku reached out and grabbed one of her hands, she very nearly let out a soft 'moo' of pleasure. She let herself be led to a different, more private clearing, for them to get to work. She followed obediently, her tail swishing rapidly, one of the more obvious signs of her nervous excitement. Even through the fog of confusion addled senses, she still had some small part of her rather modest intelligence. And that intelligence landed on one small question. Yes, now she had someone to help milk her, but what were they going to put the milk in? They certainly couldn't bring the cauldron with them, it was already working steadily towards bringing the water to a boil, so it'd be hot. And Sakazuki's gourd still had water in it, so she didn't want to use that. What else was there? She could probably make something out of wood, using her alchemy. A flagon or mug, or even a bucket. But that would require her to calm down, if she were to try something as delicate as alchemy as she was now, the results could be disastrous! So she tried to calm down enough, at least enough for her to speak legibly to Shuku, to tell her they needed something to hold the milk in, otherwise all the work they'd be doing would all go to waste. Well, maybe not entirely to waste, she thought, with a wicked feeling, as she remembered how good that last session had been. She tried to stop thinking about that, that wasn't helping her calm down, not in the least! Neither was the feeling of Shuku's hand, still clutching hers. (6173 words + 369 words = 6542 words)

From the river, a slight humming came as the witch lay herself out in the water, floating at it's surface, one arm wrapped around a large, smooth stone that jutted out from the shoreline, thus anchoring herself in place. Her unmentionables however, were just beneath the surface of the dark water, thus hiding anything worth mentioning from view. Sakazuki's eyes appeared closed all the while as she hummed the wordless melody to herself, but upon hearing the faintest noise from somewhere in the woods behind her, her eyes instinctively shot open, her form rising to stand within the water as a single phrase uttered from her mouth as she directed her palm towards the direction of the noise, a light forming in her hand before it launched forward, blowing a chunk of wood and bark from a tree that was only inches from the voyeur Kaguya's head.
========
Shuku then seem to notice the lack of a container as she sighed to herself. She would've asked the cowgirl to have transmuted one then and there... But in her current state, the concentration to achieve such would be rather hard. Releasing Mei's hand, she gave an apologetic sigh. "...I'll be right back," she whispered before striding back into the bushes to the campsite, kneeling before her bag before rummaging through it. Unfortunately however, the largest container she could find appeared to be a portable coffee mug. "s**t..." Going through her bag once more, finding nothing better, she stared at the mug. It would be enough, right...? They wouldn't need too much milk. Mentally agreeing with herself, Shuku took the plastic cup than stepped back into the clearing as she set it down on the flat surface of a stone before she stepped in front of Mei.
"...Shall we begin, Mei-chan?"

Honehime had followed along silently as she watched Sakazuki slip into the water. At least, she had thought she had been moving silently. That thought was dashed to pieces, however, when she saw Sakazuki's outline move to a standing position before a light formed in her hand, and blasted right towards her! Startled, she barely had time to react, but luckily the ball of light only hit a tree near her. That had been quite close enough, though! The ball of light had torn a great chunk out of the tree, if that had hit her... She gulped quietly and stepped forward, announcing herself so she hopefully wouldn't get attacked. "It's just me, I had thought maybe... you needed an escort if you had trouble... finding your way back?" She knew her excuse sounded rather fake, but it had been the best one she could think of at the time. Her mind was still a little rattled from that attack of the Circe's. Who knew she could do something like that?! (7776 words + 175 words = 7951 words) Lieselotte moved over to crouch down next to Kuroshika, checking to see if he was unharmed. There had been a flash of light, seemingly from another example of that odd art, alchemy, and then shortly after that, he had fallen over, unconscious. She seemed to remember him doing that before, too, so it was hard to say if this collapse was due to his own nature, or a cost from the alchemy. She didn't know much about it, so she'd just make sure he seemed unharmed, at any rate. His life signs seemed normal, he was still breathing, and had a pulse, and he wasn't especially pale or anything. So he really should be alright. Even so, she'd watch a moment longer to make sure. (8633 words + 129 words = 8762 words) Mei watched Shuku as she made to leave, saying she would be right back. In her addled state, she didn't know why Shuku was leaving, and futilely and clumsily reached out a hand to stop her, although it fell far short of the goal. She just stood there for a moment before Shuku came back, at which she moved a little closer to the Mayonaka. The woman was now holding a coffee mug, was that what they were going to use? It was kind of small, but that would be alright, wouldn't it? So when Shuku asked if she was ready, she nodded, before, shifting herself, and her clothes, to a position to give Shuku better access to what she needed to do. Her heart was hammering wildly now, this incident seemed even worse than the one with Sakazuki, it was probably all the waiting, it was making her even more frantic. She moved towards Shuku again, thrusting her chest out soundlessly, as she plaintively stared at Shuku, silently asking for help. By now, the drive to have release was so strong she wouldn't have cared if they were still in the middle of the clearing with everyone else, or even in the middle of a crowded street. She just needed release, and that was the only thing on her mind. By now, her blush had spread to a full body blush, although that likely wouldn't have been too visible in the low light from where they were, a short distance past several bushes which masked much of the light from the campfire. Although they would still be in earshot, especially if Mei proved as vocally appreciative as last time. (6542 words + 284 words = 6826 words)

Once the familiar, shy voice had registered in her mind, a simple "Oh, it's Hone-chan," slipped from Sakazuki's mouth as she stared dully into the direction of the younger girl, her hand thus falling to her side as she felt at ease, sinking back into the water. "How nice of you," she said finally before chuckling faintly out of amusement as she moved towards the side of the river that the Kagura was on, her arms folding over the ground before her chin rested at the center of the piled limbs. Her gaze on her newfound friend soon wavered as she stared at the still- smoking hole in the tree. Inwardly, she was a grateful she had only finished part of the incantation, otherwise the girl probably wouldn't have been left unscathed... And the tree wouldn't still be standing either. After several moments, she looked to the girl again:
"...Since you're here, why not come in?"
=======
As the cowgirl's chest seemed to bulge out towards her, Shuku felt the oncoming urge to step backwards out of pure intimidation. She resisted. However, her expression remained skeptical, as if deciding how exactly to get things started. "...I've got it," she said finally as he made a string of seals, muttering the faint title of the technique beneath her breath: "Reverse the stars..." With that, the two were cast into the technique-induced alternate direction, the sky taking place of the earth beneath them and vice versa. This, at least, would save Mei the indignity of having her moans heard by the rest of their party. "Let's get started then," she said finally as her hands extended forward, each taking a respective mound of flesh before beginning to fulfill their purpose...

The teen sitting upon the branch watching the world passed by sighed, his deep gray eyes looked up to the sky. "My classes are over now, but I don't know what I wish to do." Akira was a shy boy, and he held within himself massive amounts of power. But he has as of yet been able to release it. With a heavy stretch Akira turned and looked into the opposite direction, wondering what he should do..

" I guess this is where i'll be doing my training." she uttered from her lips with a simple shrug .

Akira decided to go and get a bite to eat. Hopping from off the branch, landing on the earth below with a thud. He put his hands in his pocket while moving forward into the academy. As he came down a hallway he looked arou7nd to see exactly where to go, going into a large spacious room where a young lady was already located. "Oh..ummm very sorry to intrude on you miss." he said as he entered, she seemed to be the only one in the room.

Akira looked at the hand at first before outstretching his own lefy hand. "Akira Orimara..nice to meet you miss Inori" he said smiling. She was cute, and he usually didn't speak to cute girls, they uneased him. "Yes I'm a shinobi as well. My goals have yet to be realized though." he said with a weak smile to her.

Inori would shake his hand for a moment before letting go . " Well as long as you find it thats all that matters right . " Inori started as she folded her hand behind her back . " well since we are here we might as well start training correct . " She stated with a smile . It seemed that the young Doku was a warm hearted Kunoichi that loved to wear a smile .
