Can a Nightmare...
Gatsuei looked over her shoulder slightly at Ichi who was minding his own business and... doing something with the sand. Kazuki was gone to sort things out, and to be honest, she wasn't sure how she felt. "Do you think that... the choice that I made was wrong, Ichi-kun, knowing who I am, and what I am capable of? Was it black or cold hearted of me to do as I did?"
Gatsuei looked ahead again, she felt... indifferent. Like she usually did when she felt that something needed to be done regardless. It was the same thing that she forced herself to feel after she took the life of that Cub in the chunin exams, and it was the same thing that she felt when Kazin rejected her for who she was when they were in the forest on that mission. She was use to putting herself first, selfish and arrogent that thought was, it was something that she couldn't help but feel. She told herself it would be this way when she was small. She had a bond that she didn't want to risk needlessly....Be woven into a beautiful dream?

As the silence rested over the area and Kazuki decided to head out on his own for now, Ichi remained standing there doing his own work that he had placed for himself, that was however until Yuzuki had spoken to him, as she did so Ichi turned around slightly to face the girl. Ichi wasn’t really the best person to ask about relationship but with most of his interactions with the Immortals, with Kiko, Four from the Village hidden in the sand, Hiyo, His sister, the Otokage and the sound ninja. He might be one of the best people to ask about weather things were right or wrong or not, after all he had seen it all. Pure good, pure evil, Betrayal, good hidden in evil, and vice versa; so if there was a combination of intents out there; Ichi had most likely already seen it at once point or another. So with that Ichi shook his head slightly. “No, even though you said no to him; you didn’t do it in a mean way” Ichi said giving her a small smile. “Telling him you are not ready for a relationship’ is better than getting into one that you don’t completely care for” Ichi was telling the truth, after all the worst thing that could happen would be for something like what Yuzuki had tried to say Kiko was doing to him to happen, being in a relationship when you don’t really care about the other person. Ichi knew firsthand how ever just hearing someone say something like that felt; and if you rushed into a relationship before you were really ready that might happen.
As Ichi walked over he placed his hand lightly on the girls shoulder. “He will be fine, we have a good deal more time here, let him sort his thoughts out for a while, he will be back” Who knew maybe something would happen in the time they were here, after all it wasn’t like they were only going to be here another day or two; it was most likely still months that they had to go before the immortal pulled them out of this desert like area. “Besides Kazuki is stubborn, you telling him no just once wont completely break him” Ichi said his smile growing slightly, he knew that Kazuki would most likely ask her again in a few months if anything about what he had just asked her a few moments ago. After all if Ichi remembered right he didn’t even take orders from Jounin very well, and they were the one person you were supposed to follow commands from without question. As Ichi said that he took his hand back from off of Yuzuki’s shoulder and looked in the direction Kazuki had walked into, he was no longer in sight; but that wasn’t very hard; with all the rock formations someone could walk for maybe only a few moments before being able to hide behind one formation or another; a perfect place to practice sneak attacks and ambushes. "So what do you want to do until for now, we still have a while before we are taken out of this area"

Can a Nightmare...
"I sometimes wonder if I have a heart at all Ichi," She said quietly. I was willing to sacrifice everyone in my entire village for power, a power that I could take my freedom with. A power that would allow me to eclipse the Raikage so that I wasn't just a weapon to him anymore. In our chunin exams, we were forced to hunt down and kill a panther for a map that lead to our next location. I found one of the panthers, but it was a cub, a couple of weeks old at best."
Gatsuei's head bowed down slightly and her voice dropped somewhat. She didn't know why she was telling him this, maybe it was to get confermation that she either was or wasn't the monster that she thought that she was. "It was alone, like me, it didn't have anyone to care for it and it was so desperate for attention that it came to a human of all things to find comfort and not be alone." Gatsuei brought her hands to cross over her chest and hold her upper arms tightly, her body compressed within itself. "I killed it with my bare hands to go onto the next level, I tried to justify what I did, telling myself that it was just another stepping stone and a sacrifice to something greater, that the ends would justify the means. When I was conscripted into the ANBU I had lost everything I sacrificed, everything I did and strived for was for naught, and thrown away. Ichi... I don't want to be a slave or a weapon for anyone else anymore, I want to be free, I want to make my own mistakes and not worry about consequences from people who are in a higher position than me. I don't want to take orders and have to obey them when they don't feel right to me anymore. I want to be my own self without having to be punished for the choices that I have to make. Does that... make me weak? Does not wanting that stuff make me a lesser shinobi?"
Gatsuei fell silent for a few moments, her eyes were downcast and staring at the barren desert floor and at her barefeet as she stood in one spot. She tisked at herself. "Even with all this new found clearity and new found inner sight... I'm still just as lost as ever, arn't I?"
When the subject was changed Gatsuei looked over her shoulder and a weak smile formed. "I'm all up for sneaking in some last minute Jutsu, anything to get this mess out of my head and stowed away for a more appropriate time. Maybe try and find some scorpions or something." Gatsuei walked over and beside Ichi. She stopped and looked up at him. "Hey Ichi... when your with Kiko... do you ever feel like... your not as free as you were when you were alone?"...Be woven into a beautiful dream?

Ichi stood there and listened to Yuzuki as she spoke; she was pouring her heart out; it did show the difference in their chances though; less than two years ago (Not including the time alteration that this area gave) She had intentionally tried to hurt Ichi and now she was using him as an emotional crutch. So Ichi stood there and listened to what it was that she was telling to him. But as she paused slightly, thinking back on what it was that she had said Ichi stepped forwards and did something that; hell even a few months ago ( again not counting the time alteration) he wouldn’t have done if Yuzuki had said this to him. But Ichi stepped forwards and Hugged her, it was an awkward and clunky hug due to not having the second arm, but a hug none the less. It was like a gift, it didn’t matter how good it was; it was the fact it was even there. “You were willing to sacrifice the village for yourself, and kill that panther back then, but you even said it yourself before, you’re not the same person you used to be. Would you do those things now? Would you say those same things you said to me back in the forest outside of the village hidden in the leaves now? No, you wouldn’t. You’re not the same, and you’re not alone” Ichi said giving the girl a big smile. “I know what you had felt like. Your Village didn’t think anything of you, and mine was scared of me. They thought you were useless, and me a monster” Ichi said with the smile fading slightly. “But I found Hiyo” Ichi said not thinking about the fact that Yuzuki didn’t know who Hiyo was. “And Inochi, Kazuki and Kiko. I even had a friend from the sound, who even though she attacked me; I would still like to think she is my friend deep down” Ichi said nodding slightly. “And you have friends here; Me and Kazuki are your friends, and I’m sure over time you and Kiko would be able to become good friends as well” Ichi said this all with a slight faded yet warm smile on his face.
“And if it makes you weak; then I’m weak as well, my grandpa told me of people who wanted to use the demon host’s as weapons, nothing more than tools to throw at another village when they wanted to take over. Even though I never heard someone say something like that directly to me; I hated them, I never wanted to be used like that” Ichi was actually opening up to another person; there were few who he had done this too, he could count them on one hand and still have fingers left over. “I can’t say it makes you less of a Shinobi or not, but its proof your still human” Ichi said looking at her. “I’ve read of Ninja who did what you had been doing, and followed orders to the T, they were some of the strongest ninja in history; but they were in no way their own person. So I can’t say about what it takes away from us” Ichi then paused slightly. “But if we get this training done; we can make sure that no one is used at tools ever again” Ichi said before taking his hand off of her shoulder, he had already stepped back from the hug but he had kept his hand on her shoulder, lightly grabbing her.
As she made her comment about being open for some kind of training Ichi felt for how much sand he had made already; there was more than enough by now to do his training; after all Shukaku had been making sand this whole time that they had been talking. However once Yuzuki asked about whether he felt less free with Kiko then he did before Ichi paused slightly, thinking of the best way to word what he was going to say. “Not at all, Kiko helps me with anything I need help with; and if I need my space she will give it to me, if I’m sad she will cheer me up; If I’m feeling lonely she will hug me, and if I feel worried she will help me calm down, So no I don’t feel less free, I am just as free…. Only happier”

 Kazuki Habaragi
By the time Kazuki was out of sight, he could feel the feeling inside him begin to reach its breaking point. It was going to be let out really soo-
The air around Kazuki literally seemed to explode with energy. All around Kazuki the wind began to circle and whip out at everything in the immediate area. Cacti were being sliced to shreds, small animals ducked for cover, and even the rocks around him began to crack and shift from the windstorm. He could hear screaming all around him, then realized it was himself who was screaming. Screaming at nothing but the wind around him.
Was it out of anger? No.
Was it out of disappointment? No.
Was it out of angst? No.
It was out of pure unrestricted passion of his emotions. He had held those feelings inside of himself for months now(or at least it felt like months). Now that they had been wasted at that moment he needed an outlet. A violent outlet. An outlet where he could just let his Wind chakra rage out of control to match his emotions, just rage until it was out of his system. In fact he sat down in the middle of the wind storm and began to meditate. Sitting there he found his body and spirit call out to him. Why? They asked him. Why do you do this? She said no. That's it. All of your work was for nothing.
Kazuki screamed up into the wind storm again-"NO! IT'S NOT A WASTE OF MY TIME! IT MAY NOT HAVE WORKED NOW, BUT LATER.....YES.....LATER ONCE SHE FIGURES OUT WHAT SHE NEEDS TO DO.......THEN.......I'LL BE RIGHT THERE. I WON'T GIVE UP! I CAN'T GIVE UP! EVER!" His body and spirit questioned this though. There's no reason for you to keep trying. If she said no then it will always be no. Kazuki laughed. His body and spirit were taken aback by this. What? Kazuki shook his head."You guys have been with me this whole damn time I have been in this area and we have been hanging around Gatsuei for literally that entire time. AND you think I don't know her well enough by now? His body questioned this but the spirit responded for Kazuki. With every tough decision we have watched her make, she always second guesses herself later. Even now, no doubt, she is thinking this over right this very minute. The spirit nodded and backed off. Now the body wanted a good reason. Kazuki smiled."You want a reason? I'll answer with a simple comparison. You understand how she beat me senseless those first days of flexibility training. We sucked really badly and every day we were laughed at or rejected. But we kept at training it and now we can at least keep up with her movements enough to where we can counter her and beat her. That concept will be the exact one I will employ when I return. And just like before, it will work and I will succeed." Right now it was Kazuki's time. He needed to figure out what he needed to do. For now, he would train. Train until he couldn't feel the need to train for a time. He needed to learn to use this new damn element!
First things first though. What was he going to do about this wind storm he had created? Disperse it? Yeah that was the plan. But how was he going to do that? His spirit popped its head back out in his mind. Yo! How does a calm man stop a drunken one? He uses logic to confuse it then takes him down while he is in that state. Thus apply focus and control to this chaos. With that it returned to his mind. Kazuki nodded. That sounded like a sound theory. He clapped his hands together on instinct and focused his chakra to concentrate a wind force around himself, controlling it so it would spread outward in a simple wave force, just like his Lightning burst technique. In one swift motion he pushed all of this concentrated energy outwards. This new, focused wave of air seemed to be more destructive than the wind storm itself as it blasted through the remains the wind storm had left behind. The wind storm met it and the wave's focus won out over the storm's passion. It's power was absolute and the wind storm dissipated and Kazuki was left sitting in a small indentation in the ground where the wind had blown outward. He grinned. "That was stronger than I thought that would be.", he said as he returned to his feet. His spirit popped its head out again and agreed. See what happens when you use your logical self to solve problems? You can solve and tackle them easily and without the hint of failure. Kazuki grinned. He looked around and realized with all of the destruction he had just caused the landscape, he had no idea where he had come from. He opened up his field of vision with his kekkei genkai, reaching out for the touch of Ichi and Gatsuei's chakra. When he found them, he relaxed. He didn't feel crazy or anything. In fact, he felt at peace and decided he was ok to return. He called out to his body as well as his spirit and they answered him. He thanked them both for helping him sort out his issue. They, in turn, thanked him for enlightening them to his motives and promised to help him in his drive if they could. He dismissed them and began to head back towards his friends. As he began to near them, he noticed Ichi seemed to be reassuring Gatsuei of something. He had his hand on her shoulder as if he was teaching her something or attempting to have a stern but understanding talk with her. He silently thanked his demon host friend. Just as in the past few months he was acting as her emotional crutch and helping her choose her path. Hopefully it was a path that led her back towards him. And if not, well he might just have to admire from afar. And he was totally fine with that.........at least for the moment.((Wind Release-Violent Wind Palm learned!-1074/1000-C-Rank achieved))

Can a Nightmare...
When Gatsuei felt Ichi's arm go around her, her first instinct was to push away. She had tensed up at first, her hands grasped at his robes but before she could push away, she paused and then slowly lowered her head into the crook of his neck. It felt... warm... though she wasn't sure if that was the feeling he was givening her or if it was just the thermal heat from the day. She relaxed slowly. "That's the thing that worries me though, what if that is the thing that makes me feel the most alive? What if death and destruction are the means to an end that I want? What I want, is to bring Mankinds desires to them, it was my goal back then and it is my goal now. What if they want war and destruction? What if that is the thing that humanity wants above all other things? Who am I to deny them this? What right do have to not contribute to the greater good and do everything that I can to help it along?" When he started to pull away at first, she pulled him back, it was alien this human contact, she didn't know when she would allow herself to feel it again. Her eyes were soft and distant when he finally did manage to pull away somewhat. To have someone who understood her pain, it was something that she wasn't use to, people always just either pushed her away or didn't care. "I hate people, human beings are the most greed, arrogent and selfish of all creation, why is it, that they feel the need to force those who have no power to bow to those who do?"
When the sound ninja were brought up, Gatsuei gave a weak, bitter smile. "Yeah, I met and befriended Seika too, I know why she's after you as well... when you came to the Sound village, and didn't heed her warnings to get out, she was set on fire as punishment for it. I don't know the details, but she has it out for you and Kiko. She tried to blow me up while I was in the hospital... I wonder if... it was something that I did or if it was something that she was ordered to do. She understood me, and I can understand her as well. I wanted to help her get away so bad... but she wasn't able to come and I couldn't help her."
Okay, Gatsuei was ready to change the subject now, she was getting depressed...
Ichi's words of encouragement for them to get stronger made a smile touch on her lips again though. Yes, she wanted that, she wanted to be free, spread her winds and go wherever the wind would take her this time. She looked up and nodded. Her smile became a little more wicked as she brought a finger up and placed it beside her mouth. "Maybe we should take over the world with our new power and abilities. As undesputed Overlord and OverQueen we could make sure that things always turn out the way we want it. No more of anything we don't like."...Be woven into a beautiful dream?

Ichi remained there hugging Yuzuki after she gently pulled for him to stay there; and he did until he felt that it was alright to move backwards; when Yuzuki herself had finally let go of him. “If you want to bring the world what it want’s most, ironically you will need to follow the immortals to make it so you won’t need to follow anyone else later on. Did you forget that every village despite some of them being attacked have all sent someone to protect us; just so that we can STOP the war that is going to happen? The world doesn’t want a war, they are proving that by protecting us, so we can stop it, and you feel that those with no power need to bow to you; because that how you feel that you have been treated in the past” Ichi said smiling gently to her. “Be a part of the change, complete this training; become an immortal; one of the strongest Ninja in history; but never let anyone bow to you, be the change that deep down you want” Ichi remained with his smile on his face, that was until Yuzuki brought up Seika.
As She said what had happened it felt like a stab deep down in his soul. “I…. didn't know that” Ichi said with his smile now gone. “She has every right to be mad at me, I was being greedy. I was going to the sound village because there were rumors that he had a tailed beast; and had learned to control it. I was determined to see him and sent even though she said not too. My being greedy; trying to make my life better made hers worse, and got my friend Hiyo Killed in the process” Ichi said bringing his one hand up and putting It over his heart. “If I see Seika again… I will make sure I apologies for what happened to her” Ichi said however As Yuzuki made her comment about taking over the world Ichi couldn’t help but laugh and bring his hand up and shaking it in front of him. “No no no, that’s the opposite of what we are trying to do here” Ichi said still laughing slightly. “We won’t take over, but we can do the best we can to make the world a better place and changed for the better” Ichi said with his hand still in front of him, and a grin on his face. Even though learning about what had happened to Seika because of what he had done had made the smile fall from his face and turned him slightly depressed for a moment; Yuzuki, one of the people Ichi had hated most in the world, and currently one of his best friends, had managed to make him smile and even laugh moments after, It seemed like she was finally starting to understand it meant to have friends who you could trust and lean on without worry about what they did in reply to it. “And I’m sorry that she did that to you; following the trail of events, her actions towards you were in the beginning my fault as well, You forgive me, and I won’t tell Quinfu you thought about taking over the world; Deal?” As He said this Ichi couldn’t help but give a full-fledged grin.

Can a Nightmare...
Gatsuei scratched the side of her cheek in embarassement. "W-well... I don't think that you had anything to do what Seika did to me, it was either because.... of the choices I made... or the fact that I kissed her. On the lips. After I treated her to dinner at the Noodle place... hmm... maybe I was a little too forward?" Gatsuei was half joking, but she wondered if some feminine scorn wasn't appart of her lip-locking the other girl for a moment. Geez, it was innocent... it wasn't like there was any tongues involved...
Gatsuei's left cheek puffed out and she crossed her arms under her chest when Ichi was laughing and telling her that world domination was a 'No' on their part. "Aww... boo! Your no fun... What's the point of having a little power if you can't abuse it on occasion? I mean, we're only going to attempt to save the world, if we succeed, then what's wrong with us Ruling over it with iron fist for a few thousand years? We couldn't possibly be screwing it up anymore than some of the other blockheads that are running it now, can we? And why should we be scared of Quingfu? The both of us could take him if it came down to it...." Gatsuei looked over at Ichi for a moment then a full blown pout came over her face. "Alright... fine... I do solumely sort of promise that I may or may not take over the world for a short period of time to fulfill my own petty lust for power and selfish ambitions..."...Be woven into a beautiful dream?

Ichi was about to say something before Yuzuki stated that she had in fact kissed Seika; Ichi almost comically froze in place, one finger pointed upwards as thought he had been about to make a point. “You…. Kissed….Seika?” Ichi the put his hand down and remained frozen for a moment before he shoot his head slightly. That was one of the last things he had been expecting to hear her say; in fact it hadn’t even been on the list of thing that he was OR wasn’t expecting to hear her; or anyone say for that matter. However as she went back to talking about how taking over the world with their new found immortal powers was in fact a big no no. “We should be scared of Quingfu; because he can Stop TIME, and teleport us across the planet on a whim it seems, and that’s only the Jutsu he had bothered to show us; who knows he might be able to turn us to dust; or send us into space just as easily. All I Know is you don’t get immortals mad, one can stop time, and another rides of a mountain he makes fly, not really a bunch of people you want to have going against you” Ichi said looking at her with a grin; his face flushed slightly. And once she had actually stated that she wouldn’t try to take over he sighed slightly. “And yeah we could do a lot worse; you could always do worse, think of it this way. I’m sure you meet him, but imagine if someone like the Otokage was completely in charge of everything how would you like that?” Ichi asked looking at Yuzuki as he waited to hear her reply; it was one of the worst thoughts he could think of after all, the Otokage was manipulating, deceiving, and every other negative thing you could think of in the world all rolled into one crazy package of anger and power lust. “How about this you can abuse your power in way that DON’T end up taking over the world or making it worse for someone else; other than another immortal” Ichi said smiling, he would take her teasing if it meant that no one else would, he knew she wouldn’t be intentionally mean; so even if she did say something that sounded mean; he wouldn’t take it that way like other people would have. “So….” Ichi said thinking for a moment.
“Do you have something in mind that you want to learn in the time we have left over, or not. We still most likely have a few months here so we might as well get as much out of it as we can” Ichi said still looking at Yuzuki as he said this. The more they talked the more friendly they got with each other. There weren’t many people that Ichi would joke around with. Kiko was really the only person he was completely open with, and now there were a few more he had started to be open with as well.

Can a Nightmare...
Gatsuei gave somewhat of a sassy pose and brought two of her fingers to her lips, she batted her eyelashes at Ichi before she replied: "And she tasted like mango... what can I say, sometimes I just prefer the soft curves more than hard muscle. Don't you?" Gatsuei tilted her head to the side in a mock innocences as she let Ichi chew that questions over a little. She was actually really surprised to hear about the powers that the immortals had, she had only met Quingfu when she came to the tower, and that was the only immortal that she saw or knew (spare a passing glance of Zang or whatever his name was that was in the Otokage's lair) so she had no idea the extent of what they could do, though her interest was obviously peeked at the mention to time control and the power of levitating mountains. "Can they... really do that? Do you think that they'd teach us if we pestered them enough?" Gatsuei suddenly became uncomfortable when the Otokage was mentioned. "You know... I concider myself a creature of nightmares and darkness... but that man makes my skin crawl..." Gatsuei shook out her heeby jeebies and then quickly latched on to the next topic of conversation. Ichi's breif touch on the jutsu that she wanted to learn was welcomed in deed.
"Well, I was hoping to learn some more fire jutsu... when I learned the fire element, I learned the Greater Dragon fire jutsu and that's all I know, so learning some more fire style would be a benefit... Let me see now, I could always learn to make my summons stronger, I'm not sure how, but I'm sure I can figure something out, there's an upgrade to one of my transformation jutsus that I should learn... and to be honest... I want to try and see if I can figure out where I went wrong with my Scorch release and teach myself a technique so I can acutally use it."
After a few moments of though she looked over and grinned at Ichi "Then again, I am a greedy, power hungry individual, I'm not above passing up any other technique I could possibly get my grubby little hands on. Why, do you have something in mind yourself?"...Be woven into a beautiful dream?

Ichi remained frozen after Yuzuki asked whether he liked curves or muscle more; all he could do to reply to that was to smash his hand over his face and rub the bridge of his nose slightly. It was only now what Ichi knew what he might have gotten himself into by saying that she could pester other immortals, and in turn himself, this whole time Ichi’s face getting slightly redder and redder. But once she moved onto the next topic Ichi removed the hand from his face; spreading his fingers and looking through them at her before doing so however. “Yes they can, and Lu had had forced the 9 Tails into submission without even fighting him; I guess that’s just a taste of what this training might be able to make us do if we finish it” Ichi said before thinking about what it would actually mean they could do, all the immortals had some kind of crazy Jutsu that only they seemed to be able to do and all of these jutsu where something that could most likely take a small army out on its own.
Ichi then listened to what Yuzuki listed off; she did have a list of things that she wanted to learn so in order to get all of that done in the time they had here they might have to get working on that rather soon; but the things Ichi wanted to learn where both Sand Jutsu, an offensive one as well as a a defensive one. “Well I read about some older Jutsu that one of the old Shukaku Host’s had created, the 5th Kazekage. So they would be what I would like to learn how to do but both of them require practice moving large amount of sand at once in order to attack and defend” Ichi said thinking. “Maybe in your training you could attack the sand and I can block it, and after all of that is done we can have a sparring match?” The words he said where awkward coming out of his mouth; he had never (other than attacking Shun) really invited someone to a fight; he actually tried to avoid it at all costs. “It would let both of us practice and learn and offensive or defensive Jutsu that we would like to learn” Ichi said looking at her, it would have been better if Kazuki was still here however, after all fighting one person didn’t use a LOT of sand, but fighting two people at once would be better in the training that he was going to be doing, twice as much in volume during the same amount of time. Ichi could only hope that This would work or that Kazuki would return and join in on their training. “What do you say; I don’t see anything wrong with it as long as we promise not to hurt each other too bad” Ichi said grinning slightly. “It wouldn’t be very useful if we took each other out now would it?”

Can a Nightmare...
Gatsuei looked amused. Darkly amused, and with the news of the immortals potentally teaching them techniques like that, dark wheels started to turn and with Gatsuei, that was never a good thing. She was still what many would concider in the morally grey area, she was far better than what she was, but she still had a bit of that mind set. It was something that was unlikely to go away, but as long as she didn't cause too much mindless destruction and chaos with her new found powers, one could suppose that it was all well and good. Everyone had that within them, Gatsuei just chose to listen to it a little more carefully than some. She didn't say anything, she didn't need to, it was written in her wicked little smile that she thought she was hiding from Ichi, it was something that would amuse her greatly in the future, and now that she new the extent of the Immortals power, she was going to everything in her power to persue this new information. If she had to attach herself to a leg and beg, snivel and cry till she got what she wanted then so be it. She wasn't above using her feminine charms to get what she wanted. Stopping time, oh hell yeah, the ability to have something as powerful as the NINE tails under her total control; sign her up. Who knew what other things she could and would learn from the remaining immortals... hmm... she wondered if they responded better to gentle persuasion or torture?...
Her mind was pulled back to the present when Ichi mentioned that he had been studying scrolls from one of the old hosts had created, and by the sounds of it, he was asking for some help with it. Gatsuei tilted her head sligtly to the side, she wondered how she was going to get her training in with all that Ichi needed her to do? Meh, she supposed he would need a break sooner or later in order to recharge, and as long as she wasn't too tired she could work on her own. "Alright then, that sounds good, though I promise nothing about not hurting you, I don't know my own strenght anymore. See?" Gatsuei pumped her bicepts, not bad for a genjutsuist, but certainly nothing that someone like how Kazuki turned out would call 'threatening'. She doubted that she could get through that sand sheild of his anyway. When the rare times she did coax him into a spare with her while they were here, she had yet to find a way through it, she may have come close a couple of times. But close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades. "I suppose you want me to conjure some shadow clones for you... but you might have to beg me a little. I don't think that this world could possibly be able to contain any more beauty such as mine. Lead on."
Unless Ichi was going to tell her that she could work on her jutsu first, she would just try and get it in after he tuckered himself out... or she could try to learn through shadow clones... she never tried that before. She heard that it worked but she never did it herself....Be woven into a beautiful dream?

Can a Nightmare...
"Well, I have heard of people using their shadow clones to learn things... but I've never actually seen anyone do it, so I'm not sure if it would work. I could alway send some shadow clone after you and work on the Jutsu myself. I have something that I haven't used infront of you guys before that should put your defense to the test... if you want, I've never actually had the opportunity use the jutsu in actual combat before. I'll like to work on it slightly before I actually bring the pain to you.... only if that's okay though. I don't want to intentally give you nightmares... between that and your obvious growing infatuation with me, Kiko would never let me hear the end of it." Gatsuei replied with a grin, mixing an acknowledgement of his vocalization of how he thought she was pretty and offering her shadow clones to give him a work out for a while then her coming in to try and put his defence to the test. Regardless of his choice, Gatsuei made the hand signs anyway, she had a lot to learn and she was wanting to cram as much as she could inside the window of a month or so. Her shadow divided into three and defied the laws physics. From the three new shadows figures pulled themselves up out their inky depths and formed into replicas of the original. Soon, three new Gatsueis were standing around and looking in various directions. They didn't know why they were there really, it depended on Ichi.
Gatsuei called a huddle for the cutest girls that were in the desert and some whisperings and giggles could be heard, the odd head poking up to look at Ichi before lowering itself back down again as they plotted how to go about doing this. Soon afterwards the huddle was broken and three Gatsuei's came alongside Ichi, one linking her arm with his, one coming from behind and the other taking up the side where the arm on Ichi was decidingly lacking. "Alright, What we've decided to do is have these three go with you until I finish my little pet project, after I'm finished I'll reveal my masterpiece to you and one or two of the others will swap out and try and get some basic weapon training and/or fire style training under our belts. If need be, we'll swap out again and we'll continue a rotation like that. Any Questions, comments, or last will and testiment before you go?"...Be woven into a beautiful dream?

Ichi nodded slightly as Yuzuki offered to send some Shadow clones after him while she worked on some of her other Jutsu; getting them ready to fight before they were actually used. “Alright I guess that would wor-” Ichi then paused as she made the comment about Kiko never letting the two of them live it down. “N-no no no!” Ichi said almost waving his arm in front of him, if Kazuki saw this he would see even his chakra was spazzing out around him. “We are just friends, Kiko would understand!” Ichi said still almost panicked, just the thought of Kiko being mad at him was a thought that both tormented and terrorized Ichi. He had never seen her mad before; and he was one hundred percent sure that he never WANTED to see her mad at him. As he calmed himself down, he was sure even if she was calm on the outside; Yuzuki was laughing up a storm on the inside; that was until she made the hand seals and created three clones. The young demon host watched as the three clones pulled themselves up from almost a thick looking shadow on the ground.
Ichi then tiled his head slightly to the side as he watched the real and copies of Yuzuki form a huddle, he didn’t know why they were doing that; it’s not like they needed to keep secret from him, unless they were making plans on his to get past the shield. And if that was the case Ichi was going to let them plan all they wanted, after all what was the point in training if all he trained against was strait forward attacks, if it was plain and simple he might not even bother training with it at all; so planning was something that Ichi wouldn’t mind waiting for. But once the huddle finally broke Ichi looked around confused, He didn’t really know how to react to what the clones were doing; Yuzuki might be having too much fun with this; the big bad scary demon host was a sissy and a scaredy cat all rolled into one. Ichi looked back at the real Yuzuki still not sure how to react, but shook his head when she asked if he had any questions, or comments to make before they went off on their training, He didn’t really; besides he was most likely too confused and or tongue tied to make and coherent verbal comments. So he was going to be defending himself against the three clones at the same time; better then he thought. For some reason the whole ‘not losing chakra’ thing did kick in when he thought about how many shadow clones somebody would be able to make, they still all had only 25 percent of her total chakra but they were always going to be at that same percentage; never really dropping; still making them viable for training Jutsu as well as other things; the only thing he wondered now was; if Spirit had mastered there chakra, did the area they were in now master there body, so would they never grow tired or soar? Did their bodies have the same constant strength that there chakra did?
