Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nanami responded back to Crown "Ok..I will" She then answered Aya as they walked towards the academy. "You'll be taught some pretty basic cloud village jutsu and genjutsu. It all looks complicated..but its really simple..really"

"Hmm..that doesnt sound like a bad idea" They eventually arrived at the academy. They walked into the place and into some room..which was empty except for there being one man sitting at a desk. He spoke..
"Ah..you must be the new nin. My name is Kuro. Please stand over there so you may begin your test." He pointed at the white circle in the center of the classroom. "First, I want you to produce a shadow clone"

Aya bowed deeply, "It is an honor to meet you Kuro." she said softly remembering her manners. She didn't really know if the samurai manners and the ninja manners were different, but those in Leaf never complained. They just laughed at her politness. Standing where she was told her she listened carefully at his instructions. Shadow clones? Good, an illusion. Something she was actually pretty good at. Aya flipped her hands into the motions so quickly it looked like one as with a small puff of smoke an exact duplicate stood next to her. She was fond of using shadow clones, having an old samurai trick where you made shadow clones using speed, she was again able to combine the two. Chakra and speed.

Aya nodded once more, her face stern, it was if her whole demenor changed while she was given her orders. Her face had gone back to the mask she normally wore, her eyes were empty yet full of concentration. It was the face she had worn while in Hidden Leaf, yet which was her true personality? The happy go lucky teenager, or the serious and forlorn ninja. Twisting her hands once more in the symbols she didn't even bother to mutter change as smoke puffed up on the other side of her, an illusion of Kuro stood there in the same position as the illusion Aya. The real one in the middle continued to stand there, her green eyes focused on Kuro. He had not given her an order to get rid of the other one, nor said whether it should be solid or not. Unfortuanly Aya couldn't make solid dopplegangers so hopefully this would do.

Aya paled slightly, her kunai throwing was amazingly good since it was something that did not need chakra to accomplish. But balancing the chakra in her feet to run up a wall? Without any time to prepare? That she had never even tried doing before! Before in the attack, when she had tried to sneaking over Hinata's party, she had a few minutes to prepare her chakra in her hands and feet. Even then she messed up and crashed. With her limited chakra control, could she do such a feat? Aya set her face and the two dopplegangers disapered in a puff of smoke, as she caught the kunai from Kuro. Guess she would have no choice. Concentrating 90% of her mind on manipulating her chakra, she flung the Kunai upward, the weapon whistling in the air as it dug itself into the target. As soon as the thunk echoed throughout, she looked upward, and ran toward the wall. When her sandal first touched, it seemed she had finally got it, her foot stuck firmly as she raced upward. The target getting closer and closer, the kunai was the only thing in sight. Reaching up, she grabbed the handle, when it hit her.

The kunai was dug really deep into the wood. Tugging it she grunted and lost control of whatever chakra she had mantained. Her foot slipped, as the kunai finally came loose. Aya only had a moment to panic before she growled, and pushed her body wieght instead of her chakra against the wall, she instead of running back downward, she jumped outward and downward, freefalling for only a minute before curling her body into an arch, the movement slowing her down, as she backflipped, chopping off another few feet on her descent. And landed with an audible, yet somewhat graceful seeming crouch/crash on the floor of the room.

Aya stared at the headband, she was certain she had failed, after her foot had slipped on the wall but..here...in front of her. She reached out, her hand hovering over the headband, clenching her fist for a moment before taking the metal headpeice. Tossing back her bangs she tied the band over her forehead. Looking down again, the cloud band gleamed and Aya accepted her destiny. Pulling up her mask once more she bowed, "Yes sir." The tight black mask outlining her face she turned around and slipped out of the hallway. Stiffly she leaned against the wall of the building trying to seem cool and mature. But inside, the 12 year old was scared stiff.

((I hear ya >.>))


Aya stared up at them especially the jounin with apathetic eyes. She stood stiffly so she could not shake. What would they say? Would they make fun of her mask? Of her scar? Did they know she had betrayed her orginal villiage to come here...Aya gulped. And found herself wanting to go back and fight since that seemed easier then meeting these people. Finally her eyes flicked downwards to the people that she assumed to be her new teammates. Two boys and a girl. Not bad, the red eyes were a little scary though. And a...wolf? Instantly her stomach churned...whenever she saw a wolf or a dog of some sort she felt sick and afraid. She didn't know the details, but apparently when she was found, it was surrounded by dead wild dogs. Aya guessed it had something to do with that. So, she continued to stand there until the jounin finally spoke.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Yuri-sensei. I am very grateful to you for taking me into your team." Aya bowed deeply not seeing the hand. And as Yuri introduced each of the kids, she bowed to them also, just not as deeply.
