[/color] With those words, Akage entered the record room and took a look at the blonde girl. Akage's expression was serious as well as Karin's. The blonde just stared directly in the Onigami's eyes and a contest of staring began.

And the two of them burst into laughs.

In fact, Karin was one of the few real friends Akage had and they get along quite well. After a long passionate hug, a couple minutes of chat and random talk, the two girls finally decided to get to business with Akage's training. "Did you clean the instruments before I came?" Karin nodded and laughed a little, after that, she went to a small room and began bringing the instruments for Akage's training one after the other until the room was almost full of instruments surrounding the two girls. Then, Karin took a small device from her pocket and explained what it was. It was a chakra infused sound wave reading device that had the unique ability to read chakra infused sound waves. There were twelve keys on the device, one for each melody note that Akage would be training that day. Karin made and example. She pressed the first button which would be the key that would search for the "A" melody note and if a note such as this was found, a small lamp on the device would light green. And so happened after Karin's example, however, it was now time for Akage to give it a try. The first instrument Akage would use for her melody note training was a flute, a little smaller than the flute that she carried with herself. If the flute that she had was medium sized, the flute she would now train with would be small sized. Akage took the small flute in her hands and took a look at it. After she did, she moved it closer to her mouth slowly and then she placed her lips over the blow-hole of the fluthe.

"Okay, now try to play a soft note, covering the second hole with your index finger and the third hole with your middle finger."

Karin instructed what Akage should do and Akage of course followed her instructions. She blew in the hole softly, covering the holes Karin has instructed her to cover with her fingers, however, the result didn't seem to impress Krain at all. "I forgot to tell you to run your chakra through your mouth and infuse it with the air you are blowing inside the flute." Akage glared at Karin with an evil glow in her eyes but after a second, she returned to her normal self and even laughed a little, preparing to go for another attempt. This time, Karin pressed the first button on the device which would have to now read the "A" Melody Note. Akage ran her chakra through body and began concentrating it in her mouth. The girl once again placed her lips over the hole of the flute and this time, blew a little more air into it, making the sound a little thinner and somewhat longer. Searching for acceptance in Karin's eyes, Akage found nothing but denial and was instructed to try again. Her lips were still over the blow-hole of the flute. Akage again blew some air through the flute and this time, as she had covered the second and third holes of the flute with her hands, the small lamp on the device shined green which meant that it has successfuly read the "A" melody note. This time, Akage found Karin's acceptance, however, it was now time for the second instrument which would be Akage's own flute which she had brought with herself.

"As this flute is longer, you will obviously have to blow more air into it and of course, cover more holes with your finger. This time, you have to cover the second, the third and the fifth holes of the flute while blowing air into the flute to pull out an "A" note."

And so Akage did. She covered the second, third and fifth holes of the flute and again attempted to blow air through them, expecting that the air she blew would be enough to pull out an "A" note, however, even she noticed that the sound she melody she pulled out was quieter and thinner than the last time when she actually succeeded to play an "A" note with the smaller flute which meant that she had to put more air through the flute this time. Her lips were again pressed over the flute's blow-hole and it was now time for Akage to go for her second attempt with this instrument. The device was on so it would certainly read the melody note if she succeeded playing one. Blowing through the flute, this time, the sound was louder. Louder than it needed to be. This time, the air was too much and Akage noticed that by the melody she played. She had to try again, this time, putting less, however, enough air so she could play the "A" note correctly with this instrument. She blew through the flute and succeeded. The lamp on the device shined green as she has now played her second melody note with her second instrument.[/ul][/size][/font][/justify]

After being instructed, Akage waited for Karin to press the button on the device and she was ready to give it a try. She again ran her chakra through her body, collecting it inside her mouth and infusing it with the air she had gathered inside her mouth. After doing so, Akage, following Karin's instructions, covered the second and third holes of the side-blown flute with her index and middle fingers and placed her lips over the hole of the flute. Now, it was time for a test. The amount of chakra she concentrated inside her mouth was the same she concentrated with her previous attempt and actually, didn't expect to succeed with this attempt as the instrument was different that logically, the chakra she would have to put in it would also be different as well. As she blew through the whole of the flute, she noticed that the sound was a lot different than what it was like with the previous normal flute and this was actually logical because there wouldn't be a need of different instruments if the sound they released wasn't different as well. The sound was different, however, the device didn't read the "A" not from the sound wave that Akage released and this meant that she has failed with her attempt, this time. Instructed to try and play a lower tone, Akage again concentrated her chakra inside her mouth and blew in the hole of the flute, this time, playing a really somewhat lower tone. The device, this time, shined green.

"Good. The next instrument is the same but bigger so no real need of instructions right?"

The next instrument was indeed exactly the same, however, bigger, just as th blonde said. This time, Akage would have to place her fingers over more holes as there were more holes on the instrument and she wanted to get the same sound wave as the previous time, however, a little bit louder. As she blew, the tone was indeed louder, however, the device still didn't read the chakra in the sound wave which meant that she either played the tone wrong or the chakra wasn't enough. Either way, Akage had to try again. This time, she added a slightly bigger amount of chakra and infused it with the air she had collected inside her mouth. After doing so, she blew through the flute, somewhat stronger and the tone was higher, just as she hoped. The chakra, however, again seemed to be not enough. She decided to have another try. She collected a larger amount of chakra inside her mouth and upon blowing it out, she increased the speed of the tone, this time, making the device react, having it's small lamp shine in green which meant that it has read the "A" note from the sound wave and that Akage has actually succeeded. It was now time for the next instrument which was weirdly once again a flute.

"End blown. Same basics."

Instructions really weren't needed as Akage knew what she had to do. Akage felt that she was starting to get the hang of windblown instruments already and that was probably really true, considering Karin's expression, however, Akage decided to go for all the instruments, just to be sure. She took the windblown instrument in her hands and placed her lips over the end of the flute. Concentrating a small amount of her chakra inside her mouth and began infusing it with the air that she had collected inside her mouth. After she did so, she blew in the end of the flute and released a quiet melody, covering the second and the fifth holes of the flute. "Sounds right... increase the amount of chakra." Karin suggested, implying that the melody was correct but the chakra in it wasn't enough to activate the trigger on the device. Akage nodded and placed her lips back on the flute's end and began concentrating a larger amount of her chakra in her mouth. After she was done, she placed her fingers back as holes she has placed them earlier. After she was done, Akage blew through the hole of the flute. This time, the device shined greened, meaning that Akage has hit the note correctly this time. She was done, with this instrument, for the very least.

Asking about the obvious, Akage was guided to the girl's restroom where she would refresh herself and drink some water from the tap. After she returned, she felt and looked a lot more refreshed and ready to train more. She took the end blown flute in her hands and placed her lips over the end of it, preparing to blow inside to create a chakra infused sound wave. The previous attempt, the tone was too quiet but this time, she would make it just right. After Akage blew the chakra infused air from her mouth into the flute. She had the needed holes covered and she blew as much as she needed to pull out the needed melody so the device that would be used to read sound waves could shine green, notifying Akage for her success. Karin didn't look very impressed of Akage's achievement but that was because the blonde was a genius when it came to music and chakra control and that she would've progressed way faster than Akage, however, Akage didn't care. She just reached for the next instrument which would be the Single-Reed woodwind instrument.

"What is this weird thing!?"

Akage asked Karin while taking the small odd shaped instrument in her hands. That was for sure an instrument Akage has never seen before and looking on the table next to her, there were a lot of instruments that were similar to this one as well. After Karin told Akage how the instrument is supposed to be used, Akage nodded and covered the holes she was instructed to cover with her fingers, placing her lips over the blow-hole of the instrument. After she did so, she began infusing her chakra with the air inside her mouth and after she was done doing so, she blew through the hole, making the instrument release a a soft melody that didn't shine green. The chakra was either not enough or the melody was wrong, either way, she had to try to play the "A" melody note again and she had to keep trying until she succeeded to play the note right. A second attempt resulted a second failure.

"Blow harder! Also, you should increase the amount of chakra you put to the whole thing."

Akage followed the instructions, despites the fact that the choice of wording Karin made made the innocent phrase sound vulgar. She placed her lips again over the instrument after taking a deep breath and was ready to blow out the air, however, first, she had to increase the amounts of chakra she has collected with her previous attempts which was a hard task. Akage, after having infused the air inside her mouth with chakra, blew it out through the single-reed and took a look at the device that was there to judge whether she succeeded playing the "A" note or not and fortunately for her, there was green light, this time. Not even looking at Karin, Akage reached for the next instrument which was as well a single-reed, however, this one was slightly bigger. Akage was really amazed by the fact that a weird instrument such as this existed as she has never seen anything like it before. The truth was that the only instrument she has seen and held was her flute that she carried today as well, however, she had some basic knowledge, at least knowing what a guitar was. Actually, there was a guitar in the room too and she was soon going to try and perform the melody note "A" with it soon, however, for the time being, she decided to stick with woodwind instruments which were apparently quite the struggle for her. She wanted to get them all done as soon as possible and Karin's guides were helpful for her with each instrument she tried to practice with, passing through the clarinet, the saxophone and a couple of other instruments, Akage finally managed to place all woodwind instruments in a corner and she could now finally concentrate to other instruments. Mastering the "A" note with all instruments took her a while, about a hour or so and Akage was getting tired so she decided to take a rest, however, after the rest, she would return her attention to her training.
