Welcome to Gaia! ::

After both of them had gone Rin felt a bit alone and wasnt quite sure as to what she should do but decided that she would at least try her best even though she was now completely alone at the academy. She walked over to the targets and began with non moveing targets. She very soon became bored with the stand still targets because she was hiting them dead centre every time. She thaught to herself " If Neoshin Sensei were here he would give me fast moveing targets." As she went to retrive her shuriken and kunai she had come up with a brilliant idea to make it more challengeing for her.
Shuriken/kunai target practice 1/2



Rin had collected all the shuriken and kunai and was ready to try her new idea. She ran at the targerts jumping over them first to see if she could hit them while in midd air. She was hiting them well enough but now she was actuially haveing to try and use her focus to get them. She realized at this time that although she did not have Sensei Neoshins expectations to meet she had her own. Rin had chellanged herself this time and was going to meet herself as she met every other challanger head on and fearlessly. She was now runing around the targets weaveing, diveing and fliping as if they were going to fight back. Still haveing the weights on was a bit of a strain but it was good training and it made her feel useful. When rin had decided she was done she collected the wepons once more and put them back in her waist pouch.
Shuriken/kunai target practice 2/2 completed

Rin was just about to leave when suddenly Kazemaru her friend and team mate came runing in quite distressed. He was huging her legs and crying something was obviously very very wrong. "Kazemaru what is wrong!?"
She suddenly became verys distressed herself for if something could scare Kazemaru this bad the situation must be horrible. "Kazemaru what hapened to you!? Where is Neoshin Sensei!?" She knelt down beside him trying to give what comfort she could.

Rins breath caught in her lungs at hearing what Kazemaru had just said. A great sarrow grabed ahold of her as she may once again lose her father figure. She looked neoshin directly in the eye a total and complete serious look on her face. "Kasemaru where were you with Neoshin Sensei last...?"
Rin had a sense of duty and anger that had suddenly filled her. She was not going to lose her sensei.

She looked at him with unwavering eyes. "Neoshin Sensei and I share the same Ninja Way and do you know what our ninja way is...?" "Our Ninja Way is that we help those in need of it." "So you see Kasemaru you have to tell me where he is we could do it as a team, i know that we could......please."

She gives him a warm smile and a deturmined look. "Lets Go!" She fallows him there.

Hedoro

Hedoro looked at the food, starting to feel kid of hungry. She hadn't really eaten at all today, and while she may have had some rations tucked away for emergency use, fresh food gave her more energy. But even so, she had to be careful. The way she ate was inherently different from normal people, she hadn't even let Tamao see how she did it. But she didn't have much of a choice, it was a little too late to try to get out of it. So she picked up the chopsticks and began.
She carefully slid the surgical mask to the side and up, just enough to let her actually get the food in her mouth. She didn't have to worry about chewing or swallowing; it made eating much faster, and relatively easier. She couldn't taste what she ate, and over the years that had been a good thing. If she focused on it enough, she could almost, taste things, but usually it was too much of a hassle, so she did without. She didn't want to waste too much time eating, but she had the feeling that Tamao would ask her how everything tasted. So she prepared to take her time, to focus enough that she could actually taste the food she was eating.

Tamao

Tamao hadn't managed to see any of her friends, so she redirected her attention to Hedoro, to see how she was doing. She was actually eating! That was good, she half expected her roommate would have found some excuse not to. She returned to her own fare, and tried to think of something to say. Mealtime just wasn't any fun if you weren't chatting with someone! But as quiet as Hedoro seemed to be, what could they talk about?
Tamao went through idea after idea, until she finally found one that seemed at least halfway acceptable. They had both come to the academy to get stronger, right? Well, then maybe they could talk about prospective training regiments? She did just that, mentioning what the schedule for the next week's classes would entail. With finals coming up soon, they'd have to do all they could to get stronger fast, so they could graduate, become real ninja, and become still stronger! She mentioned dividing their free time between two different types of training, one for the mind, one for the body. Reading was all well and good, but if they read so much they got physically weak, then that was no good.

Hedoro

Hedoro ate fast, even when she was trying to taste what she ate. In the long run, it took her alot longer to actually digest food, but as for just eating it? She was almost done before Tamao had even gotten halfway through her own food. She was polishing off the baked potato when she heard Tamao's idea. Extra training to get stronger? That sounded good, she definitely wanted to get stronger. Strong enough to protect herself, strong enough to be free.
She had almost forgotten about the finals, though. She'd had a bad enough time with Tamao's practice test, let alone anything official. But it was a natural progression in her quest for strength. The more she pushed herself, the better she'd get. And against other people, the competition would be even better. She nodded, she'd definitely join Tamao for training to prepare for their exam. She finished her food and set the dish down, then slid the surgical mask back into place. Glancing around cautiously, it didn't appear that anyone had noticed. Good, good, first test of this disguise was a success.
