For the last genjutsu, Myobi's mother switched back to the original genjutsu that she had first begun the girls' lesson with. Sumire blinked her eyes as the scene around her changed. Everything around her was on fire. She gasped as she felt the lick of flames on her skin. She glanced frantically at Myobi who was trembling in the heat.
Myobi's mind was brought back to her training with Tenmoki on this very jutsu. It had been awhile, but she well remembered the terror of trying to break this. She swallowed hard, nodding faintly at Sumire. Together, they called out a final time, "Kai!" Going through the appropriate handseals -- and working together -- this was enough to break the jutsu.

Sumire bounced eagerly. "Hurry! I wanna finish the training!" Her eyes danced with playful impatience. She saw the bell with the needle again and stilled. Those cramps were nothing to play about. The pain made her eyes water this time. She let out a whimper and watched Myobi carefully -- and rather desperately -- for the signal.
Myobi's stiffened when she saw the bell. This genjutsu was just plain mean. She glanced accusatorily at her mother who only smiled. She did her best to remain upright when the cramps and nausea set in. But she soon gave in to the urge. She barely kept herself from retching. She and Sumire said at precisely the same time, "Kai." The feelings didn't pass. Myobi's eyes grew wide and began to tear up. Finally -- when it became obvious that the two girls couldn't break it -- Myobi's mother released the genjutsu. She nodded sternly. "That should teach you two better about becoming overconfidant. [d20 + 12 Sumire + 11 Myobi = 30]

Sumire looked shame-faced up at her aunt. She had been getting a little overconfidant. She had almost forgotten that this wasn't a game. It was training. She tried to look more serious and was rewarded with a smile from her aunt. The next genjutsu was only more mind numbing terror. But at least it didn't cause pain.
Myobi made no reply to her mother's rebuke. But she did straighten up and try to look like she wanted to learn the genjutsu. Sumire seemed to be trying harder about taking it seriously as well. The genjutsu involved spiders, something neither girl particularly cared for. Still, working together, they broke it easily. Their training was finally complete. [d20 + 12 Sumire + 11 Myobi = 41]

Myobi, having finished the training she meant to do, left with her mother. Sumire however was determined to work on her strength a little more. She hadn't been working out like she should have been since she'd left the Academy. Her muscles were getting weaker. So she decided that some good old fashioned exercises would probably be best for getting her back in shape. She started with the pushups. The first one she did with an ease that surprised her. Maybe she wasn't so out of shape, afterall. [Exit] [d20 + 1 Str Mod = Rolled 20: Instant Success]

Sumire pushed herself up, feeling more optimistic about this thing. She was on her way back up for the second one when her arms shook. As they gave out, she smacked her chin pretty hard on the ground. Tears sprang to her eyes which she quickly blinked away. "Well...that didn't feel too good..." She sniffed. She'd have to try harder than that if she wanted to get all of these things done.

Gathering her dignity and determination around her like a cloak, Sumire resumed her pushups. She tried to remember what Myobi had once told her about proper form. Maybe that's what she had done wrong. Her memory was a little fuzzy, but the hints did seem to help. She went through another pushup without any trouble. Her mood brightened once more.

Sumire adjusted her form again, remembering more of what Myobi had told her. She was rather thankful for her cousin's bookish ways. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come across the information on the proper forms while exercising. Sumire giggled as she pushed herself up again. Myobi was so sweet and useful! A bit of sweat was beginning to form on her forehead. But she hadn't done that much yet, so she ignored it.

Her arms were beginning to feel the slightest bit of a burn. It still wasn't enough to greatly bother her. She went down in one smooth motion and up in another. It all seemed to be going fairly well so far. Working through the minimal pain, she hoped silently that it wouldn't get much worse. She didn't like pain.

Sumire's thought traveled a bit as she was doing the pushups. Now, what was it that...her hands slipped in her inattention. She went plummeting down to the ground, smacking her face against the ground. She sniffed back tears again. She was going to have a scratch on her cheek. Momma would probably be mad. Still, she was determined to finish this up.

Picking herself up slowly, Sumire inspected her cuts and scrapes. None too bad. The worst one was the one on her cheek. Face set in determination, she went back to her hands and toes in the classic pushup position. She would do this! She lowered herself slowly until her nose barely touched the ground. The way up was much harder, but she finally managed. Her triumphant smile nearly stretched from ear to ear.

The next pushup was easy as well. She was moving smoothly now. The burning on her cheek was pushed to the back of her mind. She couldn't be bothered with it. Despite of Sumire's bubble-headedness at times, she had a core of strength that most people overlooked. Myobi saw it. And it was for that reason that the two cousins had become so close. As long as one person saw Sumire's strength and acknowledged it...Sumire believed that she could take the abuse from everyone else.

Despite her determination, Sumire was slowing down a bit. Pushups were hard work, especially when you weren't used to doing them on a regular basis. She used her shoulder to get the sweat off of her forehead. But the movement threw her weary arms out of balance, and down she went again. She sat on the ground, trying to slow her breathing. Momma had always said that anything worth having was worth working hard for.

Sumire was almost out of gas. She picked herself up but hadn't gotten very far down at all before her arms buckled. She lay there, her face pressed against the grass for a moment. This really was too much. She allowed herself only that little moment of selfpity before she got up. She had to finish. She was over halfway done!
