Homesick (Training)

[Demi]

After the ordeal made her sick, she looked around the area. The large lake laid out in front of her in front of her, glistening in late afternoon sun. Her stomach hurt to the point of wanting to throw up… She was homesick already? She had nothing back at Konoha. A team member she never met, and team mate who she hardly knew. Here, she could train hard with this, Teramune, guy. Someone she was putting her life in the hands of, and Karasu… Who probably wanted her to go jump off a damn cliff!

She growled loudly and held her face, as if she were to claw her damn eyes out. She hardly understood where the hell she was! And a new name!? Bullsh*t!

Her scream nearly sounded like a low roar as she sink her nails into her skin, and held her face for a few more seconds, then released. As her nails dug out of her face, spots of blood emerged from the indentations. But they did not bother her; as they were minor and only felt like a tight pinch.

Frustrated with the world, this new land, this traveling bullsh*t, Teramune, and above all, herself, she tossed the scroll into the grass and threw herself on the ground. She clenched her fists and hit the ground. She knew she wasn’t a child throwing a temper tantrum, and took a deep breath in, letting the air out through her nostrils slowly.

The scroll opened out on the soft grass and she skimmed the words over and over, finding it hard for herself to concentrate. Her head was pounding, and her mind had her trapped.

She gritted her teeth and shook her head madly, loosening up her shoulders. Jumping to her feet, she shook her hands and practiced the hand seals needed for this jutsu. She tensed up with every movement, and growled loudly, shaking her hands furiously.

Again, she brought her hands up as they tingled with annoyance. She was planning to leanr her other jutsu, not yet this. But she had to. Her eyes narrowed and she quickly went through the hand seals, not even caring if she did them correctly.

However, she could feel nothing different, and the environment remained the same.

“Damnit!” she growled, and smacked herself in the forehead. She was more mad than annoyed… She kicked her sandalia off, and the cool grass sent a sense of ease into her, for it was the only familiar thing in this foreign land. She sighed and closed her eyes for a few minutes, then opened them, and looked around.

She waved her hands loosely, and brought them to her chest. She knew she needed patience for this… She needed to try. However, it was not promised.

She carefully formed her hands into the needed seals. She practiced over and over until she felt them flow with ease. With a few more tries, her speed increased, and she was getting the hang of it.

She stopped as her arms grew tense and she shook it off, and pushed her messy hair out of her face. She knelt down, plucked a piece of grass from the earth, and quickly tied her hair up so it would remain out of her face. Normally it would not bother her, but right now she had no patience.

Standing back up, she waved her hands loosely, and preformed the hand seals. The weirdest feeling overcame her body… She felt loose and wavy, as the chakra seemed to sprout from in her. She concentrated hard, but she felt the chakra was weak, as she felt her skin tingle with dull energy. She took a look over at the lake, and a very, very light fog, which looked much like the steam back at home where the bucket had steamed… The thought of this busted her head open and she closed her eyes tight, the feeling fading quickly.

She shook her head and sighed lightly. Shoving it out of her head as much as she could, she began the hand seals again. The awkward feeling engulfed her yet again, as she could feel the weak buzz of energy running through her veins.

Mist did not seem to exist around her, until she opened her eyes. Her feet were somewhat moist, and the lucid fog hung low on the ground; as for the lake, the mist was so light it looked like a soft puff of smoke was blown over it. She shook her head and dropped her hands, as they hung loosely by her sides. She didn’t even feel like lifting them up and trying again.

Suddenly, she hunched over and held her mouth as if she were to throw up; however, she had not eaten anything in hours, and merely dry heaved. Homesickness was the culprit, but nothing seemed to be the answer. She regained herself and straightened out her back.

Nearing the lake, she knelt down and scooped a handful of water and gulped it down. It even tasted different from the lakes at home…

She shook the upcoming thoughts off and headed back to her place, where her sandals lay next to the half-open scroll. She took a deep breath, and shook her hands around to loosen them up before bringing them level to her chest, and slowly practicing the handseals again.

More quickly, she preformed the handseals and concentrated on the chakra’s flow. The tingly sensation made her skin quiver, and she closed her eyes as she concentrated. It seemed to move from the center of her body, possibly her heart, she was completely unsure; she stopped trying to analyze, and kept herself busy with the concentration of her chakra.

The sensation crept to her skin, and she could feel it under her fine arm hair, behind her neck, and down her legs, as it seemed to slowly escape her body. She wiggled her toes slowly, feeling the warm moisture dense on her ankles, making it’s way up to her calves. She stood her ground, and felt as another light buzz of energy expanded from inside to the pores of her skin. The air was growing dense, but not much. It felt thick to breathe in a large amount, which was certainly something.

Her body soon grew tense, and she dropped her arms again, as she studied the environment. The light fog covered the ground enough to dull the emerald grass down to an olive complexion. Only the outline of the lake could be seen through the mist.

As her arms hung lifelessly by her sides, she shook her head and watched as the mist leisurely faded away into nothing. Everything was fading away into nothing… Or so it seemed.

She smiled, then let out a laugh. Mind was walking out the door again… “Good,” she muttered as she lifted her arm and flicked the side of her head. “Get the hell outta hear, no one wants you around,” she spoke to herself, a grin revealing her teeth.

Then, her arm dropped back by her side, and her eyes wandered to the ground, where the scroll lay. Her eyes quickly scanned the paper, and she nodded.

She straightened up her body, and began with making the handseals once more. Her hands formed them with ease, as they were beginning to grow quite familiar -- unlike this terrain.

She could paint the image of chakra forming into a ball and protruding to the surface as she concentrated on it. The feeling over washed her, much more powerful than the last few times. Her eyes shut and she could feel it bubbling at her skin’s surface.

The warmth of the ground crept between her toes, and was crawling up her calves. Her skin grew damp as the mist emerged upwards, slowly, yet affectively. It covered the area, thicker by the ground than in the air. Her arms were soon covered with condensation, and she looked around her. It was thick enough to notice, but she could still see major details of the trees. The grass beneath her was barely visible, and if she had not been standing so near the scroll, she would definitely claim she lost it.

The lake, from what she could see, only had an outline, and the shores were barely visible, she smiled to herself, but she knew she would have to work on this.

Her arms dropped to her sides, and she watched as the mist thinned out gradually, from the atmosphere to the ground. She wiped the condensation from her arm before she shook her hands loose again.

Once the mist had completely gone, she would try again. For now, she sat in the dimness or it all and pondered why did this have to happen? Why like this? She knew she had to get off it. Nothing could be changed… She was pretty much dragged out of Konoha without a choice other than death. And no way was she fit to simply run away. There was no way to escape. She was under close watch, and must obey Tenamune… Obey. She shook her head to the word and sighed.

Looking up, she noticed the mist had faded, and shook the tension out of her hands. She reached her arms out in front of her, her fingers intertwined as she stretched her arms. She cracked her fingers in this position, which was instant tension alleviation. Then, her hands separated and were pulled back to her chest.

Her hands swiftly created the handseals necessary, and the flow was nearly immediate. She could feel it enter her limbs and slither out from beneath her skin. Her head was pulsing by now as thoughts flooded, but she would not allow them to corrode her empty mind and send her back to what she called “sanity”.

The mist surrounded her figure, working it’s way up from the grass, to the breezy air above her head, resting just in the midst of the highest tree’s leaves and branches. It flooded the landscape thoroughly, but it was not yet thick. Nor was it moving as smoothly as it should, she thought. It seemed to creep along.

She looked around her, and could still see some of the things that happened to be eye level or above. Of course, it only thickened near the ground, which completely seemed non-existent. Above her, however, was not as thick. She knew she was in the need for more practice.

She shut her eyes and slowly loosened her body from its tension, her frame becoming free to move around once more. Her arms lowered, and her eyes studied the mist around her. It moved like molasses. Much more slowly than before; which she figured to be a good sign. With enough practice, she was sure the mist could hang around longer, making it a much worthwhile jutsu that she knew.

Despite the success she might reach, she could not wait to get back to her normal training. Training of things she wanted and needed to learn. Such as finishing the jutsu she had started back in Konoha, before she was abducted… And, of course, medical jutsu. So much she wanted to learn, and she felt her time was running out.


Deep in thought, even though mind was nowhere to be found, she hardly noticed the minutes flying by and the mist cleared. Her eyes lifted as the very dull light from sinking sun lit up the area once again, for the mist was no longer there to block it. She sighed and smiled to herself, once again she was familiar with the unfamiliar scenery. A minor, very unclear mental map of the area formed in her head. She knew she wouldn’t get used to this place, and was sure she wouldn’t have the time to either…

She bent over and touched her toes without bending her knees and held the position as she stretched her hamstrings, for her body was tensing up again with the thought of this bizarre situation. She straightened her back up, and brought her hands to her chest, concentrating on the handseals.

Her turquoise eyes shut calmly as the chakra swam through her body and surfaced. The warmth could be felt clearly, as it quickly rose from the ground, up her ankles, and slowing down as it emerged to a higher altitude. Her head was clear and based chiefly on this jutsu, and the flow of chakra.

She took a breath is, and the warm, moist air entered her lungs. It was thick all right; at least that is what the thickness of the breath told her. It felt she had to chew the air to swallow it. She opened her eyes, and the silvery hue welcomed her pupils. The warmth of the air irritated the tiny cuts she made in her face, but she ignored the feeling for now. Wonderful!

Not as thick as she might have wished, perhaps. Things could be seen in faint shades and outlines. It seemed she was trapped in a cloud, and the lake was nowhere in sight. She shut her eyes again, with the hope of causing the mist’s density to rise.

Patiently she waited for the fog to clear up from her last session. She closed her eyes, what would she do next? Then, she remembered, the jutsu she didn’t finish! But for now, she laid in the thick grass and shut her eyes. Waiting for the fog to vanish would allow her some time to relax and get herself back together.

Rest time was over once the air was lucid and the haze had gone away. She sighed heavily; completely unsure of how to finish off her justu she was interrupted in the middle of learning back in Konoha. The bucket was not here, and she was not about to steal one from any porch in an area so foreign. She’d only be setting herself up for disaster…

What could she do? What could she use? If she were to use a portion of the lake, surely she would kill a marine animal; something she did not want. She bit her lip and got back onto her feet. She slipped into her sandalia, and neatly closed the scroll while at that.

Her eyes scanned the area for something, anything. Only one thing came to mind;

She headed down to the lake and collected the largest rocks she could find. She had no patience to use Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) and so decided against it.

She tossed the rocks into a pile, and knelt down by the shore of the lake. Carefully, she situated a number of rocks on the bottom of the lake, and built up a wall that reached over the water’s surface to ensure the water she was to use would only remain at that portion.

Then, she wiped her hands on her capris, and got back onto hr feet. More handseals, she groaned lowly. She loosened her sore hands and stood a foot or two away from the water which she was about to cook….

Contorting her hands into Rat, Ox, Boar, Dragon, Boar, she concentrated on the flow of chakra, which was to be sent into the bucket. In a few moments she heard the steam coming from the simmering water.

Then, some bubbles popping at the surface. She glanced over to the ring where the water was in and watched as the hot bubbles traveled to the surface. It was boiling! A few bubbles escaped the sides of the walls, and the steam rose rapidly.

She smiled to herself, and dropped her arms by her sides, approaching the hot water. It must have been close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, but the fact that the ring she made was much smaller than 3 gallons scared her into stopping the jutsu. Nearby fish would sure be cooked. She knelt by the water ad dipped her finger in to test the temperature. Within a few seconds, she pulled her finger out and sucked on the hot tip.

“And for my next trick…” she humored herself. Alone is a world she was so unfamiliar with was definitely taking its toll on her. If anything, she just wanted to move on and get the hell out of here. It seemed like… just a land. No villages, and no friends. Where was there next stop if they were to leave here? Certainly they were not headed back to Konoha anytime soon…

She lifted up from the shores of the lake she had been situated in and kicked the rocks down which had been sitting in a ring since she has finished training for Netou no Jutsu (Boiling Water Technique). The water was star very hot, but once it was diluted with the cool water of the lake, everything would be fine.

How would I perform this? She had no clue how to begin. Since it was a medical jutsu, she was rather “excited” to learn, and if Teramune would interrupt her from this one, she wouldn’t know how to react…

From the sloping backs of the lake, she headed up the hill and looked for some sort of harmful object. She was completely against self-mutilation, but she had no other choice, and she hadn’t felt like using one her own weapons and having to clean it afterwards…

Munichi plopped down in the grass and parted the blades looking for some sort of stick or sharp rock. However, she did not feel like getting any sort of infection. Her fingers ran across a smooth stone, and a large stick soon after. She picked them up and examined them. The stick was sturdy, and the rock was rather hard… She wasn’t patience enough to file down the stone, so she tossed it to her side and head for the lake’s shore.

She peeled the bark off the stick to reveal it’s clean, pale surface, and dried it with her shirt. A foot or two away lay a large rock, great for sharpening. She picked that up and headed up the hill.

She sat down and began scraping the stick against the rough surface to make a spear. The wood grew hot on the tip and eventually sharpened out nicely. She pushed the rock away from her and crossed her legs to get somewhat comfortable. To cut her arms would be foolish for she could hit a vein. She stretched her legs out and took note of her right leg; it had no scars, yet her right leg did. She slipped her right leg under her and took the spear-like stick, stabbing it into her shin and dragging it up about an inch so there would be a cut about an inch long, which was not very deep.

The blood trickled out, but was thin enough to look as if water from the layer under the skin was diluting it. She ignored the cut for now and concentrated singly on the flow of chakra. Once it was to arrive at her hands, it would have to concentrate into a ball of chakra to be able to work.

It was weak, the tingling sensation she felt, in her hand. She held her hand over the cut, which hardly was affected. A few more moments and the skin seemed to draw together as if it had stitches, but the move was only noticeable if you watched it creep over. Then, it stopped entirely, and the blood was still trickling out.

She drew her hand back to her chest, and pulled the cloth from her arm off to wipe the blood away for it was staining her light tan skin. She took the sharp stick and chiseled away at the skin on the edges of the cut so it grew wider and was a smooth edged cut, no longer jagged. It stung a bit as she tore and picked away the flesh, more blood rose and ran down the sides of her calf.

[Itaru]

Kuroi, formerly Karasu, stepped into Munichi's training area. He wasn't sure about asking her to return with him. After all, Teramune could have them both killed. "Munichi." He called out to her, still a bit uncomfortable talking to her. "I'm returning to Fire. Not to inform the Shinobi of our abduction, but to retrieve my headband. After that I will leave with village, at my own will."

[Demi]

She looked to Karasu and got up, ignoring the dripping of her leg. It was a minor cut and if it didn't heal itself, she'd treat it later, or she'd try. Of coarse she, in no way, was finished with her training, and hoped to have a chance later to train... She quickly picked up the cloth on the ground and tied it around her arm, then ran over, near excited to Karasu. "I'll leave with you," she nodded to him.

[Itaru]

He gave a simple nod, and turned his body. "Follow me."
