Rosies panted walking towards one of the many shedding trees of the Otogakure training grounds. She rested beneath it's shady trunk as the bit of light that was apperant burned tha pale girls skin. After all her time outside Rosie had still gain almost no resistance to the sun... Or a tan. It was odd, but more likely then not just a condition of the monkey gods curse. Rosie had learned not to question oddities about her body, things just happened to her that shouldn't happen to anyone. Dwelling on it just waisted time, time that should be spent working harder to get better. It was at this thought a curious thing happened.
High above her head a small leaf snapped off the tree making it's decent towards the ground. The fluttering oddity made it's way twisting and tumbling through the air. This cause Rosie to look up, she didn't know why she did. What had caused her to look towards the sky? Without time to think her hand then raised to a cupping position. The small leaf landed daintly in her cupped hand causing her head to jolt down. Carefully she moved her hand grabbing the stem of the leaf. Letting it go a gust of wind pushing it past her face tickling her cheek makeing a small laugh echo out of the blind girl's mouth.
That was it... That was the insperation she needed. Rosie began to get to her feet, honing her senses into this tree, to this small five foot area around her. With this task she would hone her instincs, and begin her climb to becoming a Genin. It was a task that was long past do. A path that everything she knew had gone, and everything she learned would soon leave to. She knew this path would lead her away from this place.

Rosies breathing had slowed. Everything around her had slowed. Everything around her was still, cold, dark. She waited here, her arms limp in the same fasion they were when she fought. Like the limbs of a puppet after cutting the strings. Her upper body rose and lowered with her breathing, her senses cutting the darkness, reaveling echos that only her eyes could comprehend. The girl waited like a wolf hunting it's prey. Her body motions fluid and soft and it waited for the perfect time to strike.
Fast as lightning Rosie spen her body her hand shooting out to grab a small leaf. Her fingers grasped it between her pointed and thumb. Rolling it between her fingers Rosie let the leaf fall to the ground. It landed lightly before rolling away in the gentle breeze. Nature, even to one who can not see, can always be beautiful. And this was proof of it. Rosie standing there, just her and this tree... This wonderful wondeful tree.

Xenon was sitting by the water's edge, tracing his finger about the water's surface, his expression bored. His glasses back on his face the sun was shining on them at just the right angle to obscure his eyes. He sighed. Of course the very day he actually needed her to be up around the time he was she would be late... he could be training right now, but instead he was just sitting here... just when was that girl going to-
"Maboroshi!!"
Xenon smiled, there was his favorite little toy.
Kimiko stood in top form, her green eyes alive with spirit. "Okay Maboroshi! Whatever your up to, I am ready to face it! I mastered that bushin jutsu no problem and anything else you've got will be a snap too!" Kimiko had gotten a good night's sleep and was ready for action, even if she couldn't recall going back to her room... She just knew that Maboroshi had some wicked plot in store...and she was going to find out what it was...if she learned jutsu in the process, all the better.
Xenon got to his feet "I see...well then. Shall we move on to the next one?"

Nawanuke no Jutsu
I will tie two students together using my Rope Skill (1d20 + 1d10 + Use Rope(Dex)) The students will each roll a (1d20 + Escape Artist(Dex)) and add their totals together. If they beat my score they have successfully untied themselves. If not, they must try again to beat the same number. They must do this 3 times to complete training and will receive 10 experience points.
Kimiko's look was incredibly suspicious. "You...is..." a shadow fell over her eyes. "Is this some kind of sick perverted fantasy of yours!!?"
A sweat dropped appeared over Xenon's head. He sighed "Momoe-san, I assure you, I'm not a pervert, this is part of learning the jutsu. I studied it quite thoroughly. I tied us together-"
Kimiko looked curious "Yeah, speaking of which, how the heck did you DO that?"
Xenon's eye glinted mischievously "I have experience in tying knots, it actually helps me think. Now, the goal of this is to escape situation using the technique I showed you."
Kimiko was nodding now "Okay...so... we do it together?"
"Yes." Xenon wasn't actually all that good at using rope, he was more skilled at string, but the fact was his knot was actually quite tight. If he didn't cooperate with Kimiko well enough, he might be tied here all day... and he really couldn't afford the time that take... his training would resume as soon as he was done here.

Kimiko followed the steps of the jutsu. She was already starting to feel weird being tied back to back with Maboroshi... it just felt weird, and she wanted to get out of this as soon as possible... Sure enough, both activated the jutsu simultaneously, and the ropes seemed to become magically undone. Both sprang up Xenon grabbing the ropes as they did so. "There..." Kimiko said still feeling a little embarrassed "Jutsu's learned let's get to the next one."
Xenon made a small grin "Sorry Momoe-san, but we should probably test it out at least three times."
Kimiko narrowed her eyes at him "What!? You...you why do I have to be tied to you huh?"
Xenon shrugged "Well if you care to practice the justu by yourself then you can." She smiled pleased "But you'll need your own rope."
Kimiko sank in sudden depression. "Arrrgh, fine... I guess you can tie me up." Xenon stood in an impassive silence for a moment, looking at her in a strange way. "What?!" She demanded.
Xenon chortled.
"What's so funny!?"
Xenon raised an eyebrow "Well it's just I didn't think that I'd ever hear you say "I guess you can tie me up."" he started laughing.
Kimiko went slightly red and shouted "PERVERT!!!"

Another successful escape. Both undid their ropes and stood, Kimiko jumping away rather quickly. "There...that's two escapes...only one more right?"
Xenon was smiling still "My, my, Momoe-san, it's not as though I have a disease you know. Am I so repulsive?"
Kimiko pointed at him angrily "It's not a disease or your looks that repulse me! It's your black and twisted heart!"
Xenon seemed amused "I see. Heh heh....so your saying my looks aren't repulsing?"
Kimiko made a bewildered face "Wha- What...hey that's. Wait...THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!"
Xenon started laughing. The morning seemed to brighten around them, as Kimiko now let loose a string of heated complaints and Xenon continued to laugh in amusement. Birds were stirring from their nests, and the training grounds were seemingly coming to life. Xenon stopped laughing and slowed into a calm grin "Oh I'm just teasing you Momoe-san, you shouldn't take it so personally..."
She puffed up her cheeks crossing her arms "Oooooh, you're such JERK!" She turned around "Let's just get this over with..."
Xenon gave a cordial bow "Why, of course fair maiden. Whatever you wish."
"STOP THAT!"

Xenon smirked his face alight with a impish expression.
Kimiko was getting frantic "H-hey! iT'S NOT WORKING! Maboroshi why isn't it working!?"
Xenon was smirking, but she of course couldn't see this "Oh I don't know, I guess I tied this knot extra well."
"Liar! Liar-Liar! You did this on purpose Maboroshi you pervert!" Xenon started laughing and she looked infuriated "I knew it! Maboroshi you you...you you..." she cast around in her negative vocabulary. "stupid Pervert!"
Xenon laughed harder "Oh but Momoe-san, I don't know what your talking about...ahaha-"
Kimiko was now trying to hit him despite her hands being bound to his "ARRRRRRGH THIS ISN'T FUNNY!!"
"What are you talking about? It's hysterical."
Kimiko looked like she was ready to breath fire "Maboroshi! Take this seriously or I swear I won't even ASK if you accept to fight me or not!!" Maboroshi's laughter ended so suddenly Kimiko looked curious. "H-...hey...Maboroshi....why are you being so quiet...what was it that I said? Hey!"
"Kimiko...." Kimiko's eyes looked entirely shocked.
'He called me...he called me by my first name!!'

The Two were sitting back to back, Kimiko's face the picture of shock. 'He...he called me by my first name!'
Xenon was staring out at the pond "You should know...defeating you...I want it to be the fight of my life...to be at the pinnacle of my accomplishments..." he looked back at her, a smooth smile across his face. "So please...I'd appreciate it if you'd stop asking me to fight you...when we finally do have our deciding dual...I will be the one to challenge you...and..." he smirked sinisterly, a creepy aura about him "It will be to the death."
Silence fell over the area, and smooth wind caressing the grass was the only sound. Kimiko narrowed her eyes, a strange look on her face. "Your...lying."
Xenon's face became suddenly neutral, the creepy air vanishing. "Hm...what do you mean?"
Kimiko seemed uncertain "I don't know... but...I get the since you were lying when you said "to the death.""
Xenon looked back the direction he was facing. "Well...I guess we'll have to see."

"What do you mean "We'll see?"" Kimiko's expression was now remotely serious. "Do you mean to kill me or not?"
Xenon looked up toward the sky. "That's just it...I haven't decided yet...ask me some other time."
Kimiko furrowed her brows "You...you slime....does human life mean nothing to you? Is it just your toy to fool around with!?" she was looking almost disappointed, and victorious at the same time.
Xenon shook his head "Your asking me a paradox Momoe-san..."
Kimiko blinked 'So now he's back to calling me by my last name...'
"One cannot consider human lives as toys and also consider them worthless... but for me one cannot provide such an encompassing rule. Human lives are only as good to me as the humans who hold them."
"So you consider your own judgment absolute! Arrgh, you're so self centered!" Kimiko chided.
Xenon still seemed calm "No, no, you misunderstand... I do not consider my judgment any more absolute than any other man's. I'm not under some delusion that I'm justified, Justice is an illusion. I-"
Kimiko scoffed "You sure do talk a lot... do even believe what your saying!? Your just a selfish person making excuses for himself!" Her eyes burned with sudden passion "I'll stop you!"
Xenon was smiling "A selfish person making excuses...? Or maybe selfishness is my excuse...?"
Kimiko suddenly looked innocent "Huh?" She looked back at Maboroshi's face. He was gazing at the sky with an almost sage like expression. "What...do you mean?"
Xenon closed his eyes "Hmph...it's an interesting notion in it's own way..." he looked back to Kimiko "I suggest we start trying to get untied."

Xenon let the ropes fall from his fingers, leaving it amongst the grass. "Well now, Shall we-"
"I'll learn the rest of the jutsu on my own."
Xenon froze and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Oh?"
She smiled giving him a determined look. "You want me strong so I can fight you right? Well if I don't do it on my own it won't be as fun for you right? So I'll do the rest. I don't need your help any way."
Xenon gave a smile to match her's "Well... I suppose that's fair enough...I'll see you around then Momoe-san." he walked off and she watched him leave with unflinching gaze.
'I just don't get you Maboroshi... sometimes you act like a good person, but is it all just coincidence? Or an act?' she frowned 'I just don't get it...the more I know about him...the more I think I don't know anything about him at all... it's like he's two different people...' suddenly her eyes went big. 'Oh! Maybe he's got a split personality, just like in a manga! Or maybe he's got some kind of evil inner demon!! OH WOW that would be so cool!' As Kimiko drifted off into her own little world...
Xenon was headed back to tree he'd been at before... he'd now mastered all the Academy jutsu, and he'd apparently been rid of Kimiko prematurely... now all that was left was to work on his speed training... excellent...

Rosie calmed herself as she felt the rush of her sense. Her pinpoint accuracy being proved time and again as she caught leaf after leaf. The pink haired girl felt a little more daring now then she had moments before. She felt like she was working her way up a path that had been so blured to her before. A path that would lead her towards her destinay. A precharted corse fate had long ago writen, albiet a rough draft that still had some revisions to undergo. But Rosie was becoming distracted, she had to remain vigalent to continue her training.
Slowing her breath once again Rosie steadied her body. Her arms swung at her side, strands of hair concealing parts of her face. Time ticked by, and Rosie waited. Her timing needed to be perfect. Just waiting and watching, that was all that Rosie did for thirty seconds before finally moving.
Twisting her body like a dancer Rosie spun around clenching onto a leaf with her left hand. "Gutted" Rosie smiled realeasing her grip. The leaf blew out of her hand compleatly unharmed. Please with herself Rosie gave a little giggle, along with some very child like jumping and inner cheering.

Rosie couldn't help but take a moment to herself. She was progressing... But it was going to slowly that the dull grinding felt like it was going to take an eternity. She felt her senses becoming sharper, but not at a fast enough rate. The genin exams were aproaching... Those dreaded tests that she should have been ready for long ago. But she had lost focus, and was now paying for the reprocustions. But whats a girl to do? Griping about wouldn't get her father, it would only cause bumps, and make an already long road even longer.
It was time for her to get back to work. Rosie nodded to herself getting ready to grasp for another leaf. But she was stopped by images of the past. The days she had trained with friends instead of bitter solitude... Those days were gone. Now she was alone, in a village that had changed so much the it was now forgien soil to the young girl.
