 As she looked around camp and stifled her yawn, Honehime caught Shuku's eye and blushed slightly, a little embarrassed at having been caught in mid-yawn like that. She looked down at the ground for a moment before lifting her head once more. She had had a good meal, better than she expected, there was a more or less soft bed and blanket, and the fire was still going strong. Things couldn't have gone better, but she had the feeling they were forgetting something. She frowned a little as she tried to think of what it might be. (11299 words + 100 words = 11399 words)  Lieselotte only gave a noncommittal shrug when Sakazuki said they would talk about the matter later. She doubted the Circe would forget about it, but she wouldn't go out of her way to remind her. Instead, she just increased her own speed as well, keeping pace with the Circe. When Sakazuki asked if she happened to have some way to find what they were looking for, she shot her an incredulous look. "Me? You are ze witch, don't you have a magic potion or somezing?" (11448 words + 87 words = 11535 words)  Mei looked up from her ruminations when Shuku spoke to her. Looking up, she flashed the Mayonaka her typical smile, naive and ditzy. "No, I was just feeling a little hungry, but the others aren't back yet. So I didn't want to eat too much, in case they are hungry too." She nodded, that was more or less the problem. She was getting a little sleepy, too, but since she had already yawned, she didn't think that she needed to say that. She rolled over onto her side, and rested the side of her head on her arm, which braced it up, as she looked sideways at Shuku. Her tail slowly flicked back and forth behind her, more or less her version of tapping her foot, or any other little quirk of the body to do while somewhat bored or at least indecisive.

Ulsa sat down outside by himself. He was tossing a rock in his hand from his boredom. He sighed as he realized no one would talk to a blind freak like himself. "Onii chan told me school is fun....but no one here is fun..they are keep to themselves" Ulsa said outload as he stood up and threw the rock off to his north, the rock landed in a local park.
(100)
Ulsa stared at the park and decided to go walk over to there in hopes of meeting a person to talk with.
(anyone feel free to come in at this point =P)

He propelled himself over a fallen tree in his path showing a level of agility more adept for one who called himself a ninja. It seemed fear was a great motivator when it came to sharpening ones reflexes to keep them alive. His body did have limits though, he was drawing in air now in ragid gasps the controlled even pace he'd been able to maintain when it started flagging after breaking through the first few clearings. The beast simply wouldn't stop, he knew looking back would be the death of him, it was enough that he could here it coming from behind him it's serpentine body winding through the trees as if this was it's home... oh wait it was. Kuroshika twinged slightly as the monstrous snake broke through the tree he had just vaulted over, the gap between them was now down to a scant five seconds, it'd began as 13 and became steadily smaller as the chase went on. Either he was halucinating, but were there two figures not 50 yards away from him in a parralel clearing, he didn't have time to stop and check nor the cowardice to call out to them and possibly draw the snakes attention to them. He couldn't live with himself if he did something so cowardly and self serving. He didn't even think to draw the blade that bounced against his back, he didn't know the first thing about swordsmanship and even just hacking at the serpent wouldn't do too much of it from the look of the tough scales of the beast. He could only continue his dogged run, praying that the snake would lose interest in him and seek some more docile or at least slower prey.

"How could a potion help me track!? You use spells, Liese. Spells!"
It was obvious that since their conversation, Sakazuki had grown some sort of irritation towards the puppeteer and she was about to say more before she paused, feeling vibrations in the ground. It wasn't only that though... The hissing was growing louder. Apparently, they weren't just running to whatever was hissing... Whatever the source was, it was coming towards them too. Soon, the girl stopped all together as she spotted something in the distance. A moment later, she gasped.
Even if it was night, the Circe could see clearly in the moonlight, a form panicking and running a fair distance away from them. However, it wasn't that what caught her attention... It was what was behind the running form. Swearing silently, she turned, running now towards the predator and the prey, hoping to intercept the serpent now.
"...Lieselotte, can you get that thing's attention?"
===
"So long as you promise not to eat it all, I don't see the harm in letting you eat more..." Shuku admitted as she looked towards the pot. Even with them eating, there was still more or less enough to fill several more bowls.. Or cups rather. The only issue was whether or not Mei knew restraint. She thought on this for several moments, but sighed, mentally shaking her head as she remembered the girl's gluttonous attitude towards dinner. Yet, to let her seemingly starve like this just didn't seem hospitable.
"...Is it okay for her to have one more cup-full, Hone?"

Honehime snapped away from her train of thought, she had almost remembered what it was that they had been forgetting. Shaking her head a little, she looked up toward Shuku as the older woman asked her if it would be alright for Mei to have some more stew. She got up and peered into the cauldron, checking to look how much stew was in it. Quickly estimating a few factors, she did the math, and then nodded. "Unless the others are even hungrier than she is, I don't see a problem with it, go right ahead, Mei." (11399 words + 98 words = 11497 words) Lieselotte didn't bother to try arguing with Sakazuki about if she used potions or spells, now really wasn't the time. She skidded to a halt a second after the Circe had, looking through the darkness. She couldn't see too well, but from the size of the one shadow, the snake was bigger than she had thought, much bigger. She turned to look at Sakazuki just in time to be asked if she could distract the beast. "You want me to what? Distract ze beast? Par bleu!" Grumbling a bit more, she nonetheless moved to do as she was asked, rushing off into the darkness after the enormous snake, trying to think how in the world she was going to distract it. (11535 words + 126 words = 11661 words) Mei had looked back and forth between the two other girls as they had talked it over, and then smiled brightly when they seemed to agree that yes she could. She thanked both of them very exuberantly, bowing her head and causing very distracting reverberations to manifest in her chest, before getting up and moving back to where she had sat before, picking up her bowl, and moving to the cauldron to fill it one last time. Once she had, she took her seat again, squirming around a little until she was comfortable, and then began eating. Luckily, this time she didn't let herself dive into it as energetically as before. Even so, she'd likely try to cram her face into her bowl again. Or at least as close as she could actually manage, anyways. (12673 words + 137 words = 12810 words)

The snake eyesight wasn't all too great, but it's sense of smell was vastly more powerful then a humans. Even as it slithered it's way after Kuroshika it tasted the air sensing not one, but two more meals, and better yet one was delivering itself right to it's coils. As Lisolette rushed forward the gargantuan snake even seemed to slow for a brief moment as if deciding which of the meals presented to it should it attack first. With a snap like a whip the tail long and muscled tail came out of the darkness looking to hit lisolette from the side. Kuroshika's slightly heightened senses picked up on the drop in the slithering of the snake, only a fraction too late as he turned around seeing the beast already moving to attack the people who were trying to aid him. Now it came down to the basic instinct of fight or flight, every fiber of his being told him to run and forget about those who would risk their lives for him. If they were foolish enough to get tangled in a mess like this then they deserved whatever fate that entailed. He couldn't move, no matter what he tried he couldn't move forward, despite the urging of his mind and soul his body would not respond. He turned facing down the snake hoping to draw it's attention back to himself by being a staitionary target. He wasn't brave, he wasn't heroic, he just couldn't bring himself to abandon this problem like he'd abandoned every other problem in his life.

Quote: Art of water walking: 600 Points Requirement
{Word count: 622 - 22 = 600 for water walking} {Bank count: 100 + 22 = 122 Point Bank} ( This is due to picking a 700 point skill, so I'm assuming I have 100 points to spend or save with the 500 points I just gained)
Final Count:
Counter: Wordcount.net
I am Choosing to: Graduate At this time. Kiric Stood before the Academy wondering when his teacher would Arrive. He sighed as he was always on time but his teacher had been several minutes late already as he worried he had missed him or something. Suddenly he heard a poofing sound in which came from behind him. "Well hello there Yoarashi Kiric, I'll be your new teacher for now on. My name is currently not important, But of course you can call me sensei." The man was rather tall standing six foot as his completion was dull though his body structure was thin and built all the more. He wore tight clothing, Blue jeans and a yellow sleeveless top. He leaned towards Kiric before smirking some as he finally shifted his left hand from his pocket onto the young boys head. "Easy now...Don't want to mess up on the first day now...Nothing to be scared of." Kiric looked at the man with inspiration as he smiled and spoke for the first time. "Your LATE Sensei! but I forgive you..." The man looked at the child in a freaked expression just before giggling to himself. "Well sorry about that Mr. Macho but I was preparing for you jutsu training you see, besides time isn't an issue with me...You could learn the Jutsus within a day or even a month...it's really all up to you though." Kiric was slightly surprised at how laid back his Sensei was seeing as all the other students got really tough ones. "Why are you so light minded on me? like the rest of the instructors?" He spoke out in curiosity. The man spoke with a chuckle before throwing his hands up. "Perhaps it's because I want you to express your own feelings towards a situation rather then do what I tell you to do...you aren't truly anyone special unless you do and try things your way and succeed at them. So you see I'm not really your mentor mostly a friend in training...I don't like being bossy or mean...it's just not my thing...besides your going to be brought up better then those other shinobi." He spoke with a soft voice as his green hair swayed within the winds, He turned only to wave towards Kiric to follow him. Kiric in which did as he finally caught up to his sensei they were at the edge of the river in Waterfall village. "Today I wanted to give you advise on water walking, Most of the students are doing paper work as of now but I think it's boring so we'll skip it as you proceed to learn skills instead." Kiric's Sensei sighed just before his arms came up to his chest in which letting his hands create focusing signs using his hands and fingers. He released a breath as he finally stepped upon the water and began to walk out into the deepest parts of the water. "See it's that easy please if you would try it, it'll make you more talented towards Shinobi Sparing and fighting against your enemies." Kiric nodded just before coping his Sensei's movements; His arms rose as his hands came together making the correct focusing signs before finally easing his way onto the water below, He smirked as he slowly but surely made his way out into the deep end of the lake as well. "I did it...no way...I actually did it without failing!" Sensei looked towards the young boy as he smiled. "No pressure means No worries...in the end it all comes down to nerves my student and So our Training is done for now.

"Ok kids! Today we will go over a few notes that will help you on your Graduation Test. This test will require you to use a jutsu from the following list!" Iruka Said. Iruka Hands Out a sheet of paper to everyone with the required jutsu's, As all the student's Gasp and take load deep breathes. "Well you all may think it's hard work, But you only have to learn one of the following to Graduate; However, You can chose to learn more and become a skilled little Ninja Iruka says. As all the students shows a smirk of relief. And Valmos Scratches his head "So, I could chose the easy way out and learn a basic jutsu and get out of here and become a genin or... I can do all of the like my father would want"... Valmos says to him self. "Well i guess i should at least do a few to help get me started to becoming a anbu ninja..." Valmos looks at the clock..
Right before the bell rings for class to be over Iruka Shouts The Graduation is tomarrow! Train Hard kids! Valmos says, Well iamma spend my time outside training so i won't have to go home and hear my father Nag.. The bell rings! Ok valmos says, Lets see what i can do... Valmos goes out side and look at the jutsu requirement list.
Well i guess ill start with Henge no Jutsu! Valmos looks down and said well, for this jutsu, my night vision is useless. I guess ill try to transform into a kunai. Valmos Throws a kunai on the ground and sits Chris Cross and stairs at it while meditating. He focusing all of his chakra into his body to try to Transform into an kunai. He takes a shot at the jutsu and shouts "Henge no Jutsu!!!" He Transform into A Black Steel curved object that doesn't really look like a kunai at all.. Valmos Transform back into his self. "I see that didnt really work" He says. "Guess I Should Focus My chakra more" As he charge chakra threw out his body and focus on the kunai, he trys the jutsu again this time closing his eyes and not yelling.
As the smoke clears up you can see that the object he turned to is still nothing like a kunai. Valmos Transforms back into his self and says "Erm, Maybe i should just try another jutsu and Forget about this one". As Valmos hears somthing from behide a tree and see a shadow of a person. He Activates his Night Vision, Seconds after The person steps from behide the tree and shows him self. Valmos Says "Oh its just Iruka Sensei"..
Henge no Jutsu [1/3]
Iruka walks up to Valmos, "Maybe you should use you Night Vision and look at the kunai... Look At the shape, the curves, the height and try to
transform again, this time focus harder" Valmos looks at iruka with a silly
expression. Iraku replys "What is ther somthing wrong?" No Valmos said back. Valmos focus harder and harder on the kunai using his Night Vision
and this time his meditation last longer then the last time. Alright here goes nothing! He takes another shot at the jutsu And ended up transforming into a object that looks a little closer to a kunai. Valmos transforms back. "Ha! I almost had it huh Iruka?" Iruka Replyed "Almost doesn't allow you to Graduate." Valmos looks down like hes in shame.
"Ok iruka" Valmos says with a soft voice. Iruka facial expression changed into a confused look. "Iam not very skilled, and i can't do much around here." Valmos looks at iruka sensei and transforms without letting iruka know. This time he transform into an object that like very close to Iruka headband, Then transforms back. "My father said Almost isn't good enough too, He would always tell me about some high goal i can accomplish.. But i don't think i could do somthing like that.. A high goal = stress, I don't need stress i don't want it. Iam a laid back kind of guy. i don't like fighting or hurting anyone.. But in my father "High Goal" for me i
would have to fight and kill many Valmos says disappointedly." Iruka sits down beside valmos and asked "So why did you become a ninja? If you don't like Fighting or hurting anyone the only path of you being a ninja is Medical. Fighting, Protecting, and even killing is what a ninja do almost daily."
Henge no Jutsu [2/3]
"I know" Valmos Says. "But its out of my hands, Even though i am in the main branch of my clan, i am only the lower branch of my father. He wants me to have the life he could have obtained when he was my age. But that goal isn't what i want to do!" Iruka then looks at valmos and says "Then don't, you may want to make your father happy but you can do that by many other ways. Trust me, Your father will understand if you don;t want to be a shinobi. There are other ways to help shinobi's like setting up plans and neat stuff like that." Valmos replyed "That sounds nice, but my father wouldn't like me to be just some sideline helper! You wouldn't understand! So my choice is to become a great ninja and make my father, Village, and clan proud of me!" Valmos focus hards and looks at the kunai and quickly Yells "Henge no Jutsu!" And transforms into a object that looks exactly like the kunai! And he Transforms And stands up with a bad-a** look on his face and says "No matter what i have to go threw, No matter what pain i face i will become real shinobi And Maybe even the best!
Henge no Jutsu {3/3}

As Sakazuki heard Lieselotte's outburst in response, the Circe seemed to chuckle inwardly. Beast or nay, the Witch was quite confident that the Marionette Wielder was fully capable of keeping the snake's attention as she neared the serpent from the side however, she noticed it's tail whip up behind her, causing her head to jerk over her shoulder to realize that a strike was coming towards her comrade... However, from this distance, there was nothing that the sorceress could do to assist her partner.
The best she could do was hope to get Kuroshika out of harm's way quickly so that she could focus on dealing on the snake with Lieselotte.
As he stopped however, the witch rose a brow. Was he friggin' retarded!?
She soon realized however, why he had stopped as moonlight shined over the are again... the serpent was now facing her and Liese, not Kuroshika! s**t! Having to think fast however, the girl utilized her her Day Dream technique, shifting herself into the fighting style as her foot turned awkwardly, in a way that was only possibly through this style, which allowed her to break free of normal body movements as she managed to turn, away from Kuroshika and back to assist Lieselotte, beginning to do something that seemed rather awkward for the moment: she began to sing, and from the earth, several humanoid, rotting forms burst from the soil before they flung themselves onto the snake, each wielding whatever weapon that they had held when they were first resurrected, then using them to attempt to pierce the serpent's scales.
===
Shuku blinked, rather surprised by how zealously Mei had thanked them both as she gave the girl an amused gaze as she looked over to Honehime. "...She's like a chi-..." She cut off, realizing that Honehime too, was a child. Though she wasn't exactly sure of the girl's precise age, she was definitely younger than both Mei and herself.
And Mei was younger than her...
Crap!
As the woman lay her head down, she slowly felt herself plunge back into her miserable self conscious state.

Honehime looked back to Shuku when the older woman started to say something, only to falter off partway through. Even then, she had said enough for Honehime to figure out what she had been about to say. As well, she was able to figure out why Shuku had stopped halfway through. She looked down at her own youthful frame for a moment before meeting Shuku's gaze, and only nodding. She had no problem with being called a child. Everyone was a child of the world, after all, no matter how old they lived to be. (11497 words + 96 words = 11593 words) Lieselotte had been trying to think of a way to deal with the enormous snake, but nothing seemed to present itself to her. How in the world did you fight a giant snake? She ran out of time when the snake's tail whipped around, the wind whistling from it's speed. It was too dark to see clearly, otherwise she might have had time to dodge. As it stood, the tail hit her right in the gut and knocked her flying. She knew if she didn't stop soon, she'd crash into a try, so she quickly used Isshi no Otoshina, causing chakra strings to leap from her fingers and wrap around anything they could to slow her flight. (11661 words + 121 words = 11782 words) Mei finally set the bowl down once more, as she had emptied it already. Luckily, her face had survived, unspattered by food products. She licked her lips and set the spoon back in the bowl before getting up and moving over to her bed. She yawned hugely, and then began to crawl into it, wanting nothing more than to go right to sleep. She sprawled out and then cuddled under the blanket of leaves, before rolling onto her side and began watching the fire for a little bit. She had seen fire before, plenty of times. But this was really her first time seeing a campfire. She knew there was a lot she didn't know, and plenty of things she hadn't experienced. Making camp with everyone being one of those things. It had been a lot of fun, she was glad that she had ended up taking that nap in the sun earlier that day, even if it already felt like that had been over a week ago.

 Faend Kailash chuckles a little to himself as he casually walks towards the Academy. He was finally starting his quest to become a shinobi, after long years of wait as far as things were concerned with him and his clan's sudden rising from the earth. So to speak. Faend looks around as he walks towards the Academy, he wasn't sure exactly what he was expected to do here. But he knew that something was supposed to be done as far as his training. But since he was new to this entire scene, he wasn't sure exactly what he was training for. With hope, he expected to find someone as lost as he was, or at least someone who knew what they were doing so he could get out of this academy and enter the real world. With a slight frown on his pale lips, he looks around, his white eyes looking through the black glasses that were on his face at the area around him. Since his eyes and glasses were shadowed by the black top hat on his head. It gave him a very un-shinobi like appearance. Something that may not settle too well with those of the more shinobi like appearance that were around him now.

Aimi Kailash, no relation, steps in behind Faend and smiles seeing him in a top hat. It is true the clan did seem to appear from no where but then again, they had been around long enough to create such a viable clan. She pats her fellow clansman on the back giving him a big smile, "Seems we made it this far...lets show them what we can do." She slides past him likewise not dressed as like a ninja though, in her light orange top that keep her modest but showed off her arms and abs and a simple pair of jeans that seemed to have fur lining the top. Her silver hair flows to the middle of her back. Aimi then spins causing her hair to spread out, "Since we are both clansmen....lets stick together, Kay?"

Faend turns to look at the member of his clan that had come and began speaking to him. His lips curling into a slight smile as he looks her over once. He hadn't really seen many of his own clan, and it had gotten to be a hassle for him to be able to speak to them. "Yeah, I'll hang around with you so we can figure out what's going on around here. We're supposed to be learning something, because it's an Academy. Right?" Faend says, as he frowns a little and looks around through the circular lenses of his black tinted glasses. He hadn't been able to see much as far as training yet, maybe there were more people within or on the other side of the building? He shrugged slightly and then looked back towards his fellow clan member. "I'm Faend." He says, with a chuckle.

Aimi nods and smiles again, "Nice to see you, Faend-kun." He looks around and tabs her arm lightly as she looks around the halls, "Lets go out back and practice some basics. Target practice, Chakra control, sparring." The last one on the list she had seeming put more emotion into but then again, what wasn't fun about a spar here and there. At least they both would be evenly matched or at least should be evenly matched, neither knew techniques commonly taught to ninjas, unless Faend was hiding something. She then begins heading the way she thinks would lead to the training area of the academy. Aimi looks over her shoulder, "Oh yea. I'm Aimi."
