The attack just barely connected with the dummy and Elruda was unsatisfied. She wanted to make a direct hit if possible. However, today, her Juuken did not just appear more graceful but she also seemed more comfortable using it. Work on the aim... Elruda thought, before heading in with two fingers for a jab.

s**t. Thought Elruda as the dummy came towards her, gaining speed from her last strike. She won't have enough time to block the attack, so Elruda simply jumped and attempted to land a kick on the dummy's head. It was getting more interesting by the moment...her taijutsu combinations, that is...

Crack. Her foot connected with the dummy's head. Elruda jumped jumped off from behind the dummy and attempted to direct another kick while still airborne. For the young Hyuuga, it was amusing recombining different moves in Juuken, which was why she loved taijutsu so much.

And she managed to make the kick connect, this time entirely, with the dummy, sending the wooden doll flying. Elruda landed gracefully but a look of worry crossed her face. Did she overdo it? Quickly running over to the dummy, she checked it over. Adding to the cracks she made yesterday, today the dummy was also chipped in several places. The young Hyuuga prayed that Wrath does not see the dummy's condition. After all, he only told her to punch and kick the dummy, not to massacre it entirely.

It was odd, that Tatianna's feet would lead her here to the main training grounds of the village. She knew that now that she was back, she should be heading straight to the kage's office to let him know that she had returned and had completed her survival training, but she felt that somehow, a few extra minutes would not make a difference. Tatianna closed her eyes for a moment, breathing in the fresh air of the training fields and letting the sounds of the wind and those presently training fill her ears. She smiled then. Yes, she knew exactly why she had come here first. This was her home away from home. This was where she had learned to become shinobi.
Vague thoughts of how Wrath and Miko were doing after so many months away fluttered through her mind, but she was mostly distracted by her curiosty as she watched a young girl training. She didn't want to startle her, so from her far off position, she leaned casually against a tree, mostly covered by the night.

Elruda had planned to patiently wait for Wrath's next assignment. Key word, had. Instead the young Hyuuga figured it wouldn't hurt to wander around for a bit...after all, Wrath probably won't expect her to be finished that quickly. Feeling a bit curious as she had only explored around half of the training grounds, Elruda wondered what the other half would be like. But Wrath probably wouldn't be very happy if she just disappeared. So Elruda decided on scouting the other side with her Byakugan. To her surprise, Elruda saw a young woman and wondered should she greet her. This was her first time actually meeting an Ame shinobi other than Wrath, after all.

"Konnichiwa...?" Elruda spoke quietly but her voice was loud enough for the other shinobi to hear. "I know you're there...my Byakugan allows me to see most of my surroundings...you see..." Back at Konoha, she didn't have much interactions with other shinobis except the Hyuuga clan elders (because she made a living driving them crazy) so Elruda was a bit unsure what to do. "Eh...I'm Elruda...nice to meet you..." With that, the girl turned around, directing an unsure smile at the other kunoichi.

Tatianna raised a mildly surprised eyebrow seeing that the girl was starring in her direction. SO she had pretty damn good vision huh? Since she meant no harm, there was no use staying hidden, so she appraoched her. "Hey there, didn't mean to interrupt! Kinda late for training isn't it?"
Tatianna knew full well that it was never too late to train, but it was a good ice breaker for conversation. One could be a little rusty at the skill after being on their own in the forest for so long.

"Late for training...?" Elruda muttered, her smile dropping a bit. "Late isn't in sensei's dictionary..." She murmured, remembering the previous night. "Um...well...I could only see you because of my bloodlimit. Eh...most of the time, I'm quite...unresponsive to my surroundings... The old geezers in my clan always said I'm an embarassment of a Hyuuga..."

((Got to got to bed. It's 11:30 and mom's going senile. @_@ I suppose Tatianna could watch Elruda finish Wrath's next assignment or something. Or Elruda could find her later, as she still have lots to ask about Amegakure.))

"Hyuuga?..." The name was only slightly familiar, but she couldn't place it. But sense the clan obviously wasn't native to Ame, Elruda was a refugee. Not that she minded of course. Not after seeing the dismal faces and displaced souls of the fleeing masses while she was outside of the village.
"I see. Well that sounds pretty nifty! Sounds like you've got one tough instructor though hmm?"

"Tough? He's brutal. I swear the old geezers were kinder back at Konoha... If I had known that fate placed me in his hands, I wouldn't have run away..." Elruda thought for a moment. She wasn't being entirely honest. No, either way she had planned to run away from Konoha and Wrath did help complete an insane amount of training in a little more than a night and half.

((we'll just pick up on a later day, once you leave I'll rp Tati doing something else cool ))
edit:
Brutal? There was only one person she knew whose methods could be described as such and it caused a chuckle to escape from her lips. So Wrath had been placed in charge of a group of students...good heavens, what the heck was the kage thinking? Ahh yes, speaking of KAge.. "Looks like I aught not waist anymore of your time then. If your instructor gave you a goal, then please proceed to strive at it. But remember, sometimes it's good t otake breaks too alright? With a wave she bade Elruda farewell before taking a few steps back from her and disappearing into the night.

Wrath had been resting his eye while Elruda was practicing her taijutsu. But when he woke he noticed that she was gone. He rose to his feet and began to look around the area, "Where the hell she run off!?" Wrath mumbled to himself. After a minute of looking through the area that he was in he stopped and sat back down where he originally was. Wrath figured she would eventually return.
