Demiri (Training)

[Demi]

Demiri looked up at the snowy scenery around her. It was sheer beauty, and she sighed happily breathing in the cold. “Hey, Kibo,” she looked over her shoulder at the bookbag that nearly blended in with the snow. If it weren’t for the random nonsense written all over the bag, it would probably be very hard to find. Lying next to her bag was the holder for her three-sectioned staff, along with her belt. Demiri headed over to the white bookbag and picked it up, pulling out her sweatpants and stuffing in her jacket. Kibo, annoyed with the rustling of items, poked his head out as she dropped the bag back onto the icy ground.

She pulled the gray pants up to her hips and looked back to the bag. “Wanna watch me fall on my ass?” she smiled to the rodent.

Kibo lay in the bag with his head poked out as Demiri tried to remember what the Ram’s handseal was… After a few tries, she figured she had it correctly and headed out onto the icy lake before her. It was common sense for the girl to check the thickness of the ice, of course, so she could only think of one thing to do…

In her bag she pulled out the collapsed windmill shuriken, and unfolded it. Tossing it out hard onto the frozen lake, the blade stuck itself into the ice, but it did not crack other wise. Demiri looked excitedly to Kibo as she ran across the ice and fell in an instant. She laughed at this, she knew it was to be expected, and she crawled across the ice on her knees to retrieve her shuriken. She steadied herself onto her feet and held her hands together, creating the Ram handseal. As she held it for a few moments, chakra ran down her body to her feet, and she carefully walked over to the Windmill shuriken. “Haha, it’s working,” she said as she reached for the large four bladed weapon.

It must have dug a hole an inch or two deep in the ice. Indeed, was the lake frozen over in a thick layer, which made her feel quite safe. She pulled the blade from the ice and carefully walked back to the surface of the lake, stepping back into the snow. The weapon was collapsed before she stuffed it back into the second largest compartment of her bookbag.

“Wanna try? It’s fun,” she giggled as Kibo watched her head back to the lake. Slowly, he inched out of the bag and ran across the snow behind her. The handseal was done again and the chakra surged to her feet. The feeling was great as now she could finally travel across the ice without the worry of looking stupid.

Her small feet carried her across the ice, and her only protection was the insulated sandals, which left her toes exposed. With her concentrating on the chakra flow to her feet it was easy for her to walk across the frost. In near jealousy, Kibo took a step onto the ice and carefully walked across it. However, the armadillo, having no means of learning handseals or even having chakra, maneuvered slowly on the ice. She watched him and smiled, knowing he could only stay balanced on his toes.

“I’ll race you to the other side,” she giggled as she walked over to the armadillo, which already was having a hard time staying steady on the ice. She leaned down, preparing to take off running, as the chakra was still at her feet. Kibo prepared himself, as he listened for Demiri’s word. However, he took off before she even got to one, and lost balance quickly, flipping onto the armor of his back and sliding across the ice.

“Cheater!” she said as she took off from her spot. Before she knew it, she was half way across the lake, until she lost balance and the chakra flow gypped her.

She slipped backwards, onto her butt, sliding a bit over. She giggled a bit as she looked over to where Kibo was, witnessing him slide into a pile of snow on the lake’s surface. “You win I guess,” she laughed as she struggled to her feet and carefully walked over to him.

The orange armadillo was found balled up in the snow bank. Demiri smiled as she picked him up and held him against her chest. She took a stroll around the lake and placed Kibo onto her bookbag. “I’ll be back,” she smiled at him as she walked a bit away. The three banded armadillo popped open from his ball and watched as his friend got in a stance as to attempt a front flip. Was this girl crazy? Kibo knew her to be very active, but was she really planning to attempt it on the ice?

Demiri chuckled as she could feel Kibo’s eyes on her. She stretched her arms out a bit. Of course she wasn’t for speed right now, for she knew she’d bust her ass for sure if she were to try it on the ice, but she would just practice a regular flip. She sighed a bit, taking a breath of the lovely thin air. Then, with her arms stretched out, she jumped forward, her warm hands connecting with the snow.

Her legs lifted up into the air as she held the handstand for a few minutes, enjoying the lovely feeling, then her legs tilted forward, first her right, then her left. The snow crunched beneath her feet as she stood up straight and dusted her hands off. “Now…”

She took a few steps forward near the frozen lake before her hands turned into the Ram handseal. As she did this, the chakra traveled to her feet once again. One foot in front of the other, she was back on the ice with a careful posture. She took a few quick steps, tying to get used to the feeling again. A smile was brought to her lips. Kibo must have believed her to be insane… or that she enjoyed getting hurt. However, he was smart, and knew neither were true. She was just a hard worker, and somewhat mischievous.

Demiri took a few more quick steps, before taking a leap into the air. She landed with no problem; however, she almost lost balance as her feet hit the surface and slid a bit to the side. She stood up and reached her hands up over her head. Now, the flow was reaching her hands. By the way she arched her back a bit, Kibo knew this was not a front flip…

Demiri’s feet left the surface and in a second they were up in the air. She positioned her arms a bit further from each other to maintain balance as she switched the concentration to her feet.

Then, she bent her elbows outward before her hands left the surface. She bounced back onto her feet and slid a bit back as the ice was quite slippery. However, she knew this time she must have had it right. “I’ll do a complete back flip next time,” she giggled as she looked over to Kibo who, if he was human, would be lying with a raised eyebrow.

And super overkill. If I could give you more, I would. Good job!

[Demi]

Demiri looked to Kibo as she headed back from the frozen lake. Each step was making her heart pound, however. She knew for her next jutsu, she did not want Kibo around, for he could get hurt. She lifted her bag from the ground, shocking Kibo. Then, she placed the bag under a tree, then collected her belongings: her belt and sansetsukon, and placed them near the bag. She dug her hand inside its warmth to pull out her navy blue jacket.

First, her left arm stuck through, then her right arm, and she adjusted the jacket before zipping it up about half way. She pulled her hair back and tied the black strands up before pooling her hood over her head. “Do not move from here,” she told Kibo as she walked back over to the lake.

Carefully, she moved over the ice, not wishing to waste her chakra on using the jutsu she had just learned, for now she would need it for her next training session. The wind blew heavy and Kibo poked his head from the bag. He guessed it to be a warning for him to not come from the bag, so he would watch out of curiosity to see what the girl was up to.

Demiri steadied herself in the white ground; her jacket and sweatpants protecting her skin from the harsh winds that blew. At moments, she could even hear her clothing slapping as the wind was tearing at it, but it did not bother her. She was used to the cold; Kibo was her only worry.

Several handseals were practiced, as her fingers were growing numb from the winter’s bite. She rubbed her palms together and blew into her palms. Indeed, it was very cold out today… She shook her head and placed her hands together, practicing the handseals. Once she knew she had them right, she would work them over again.

As her fingers moved quickly over, under, and crossing each other, her chakra was escaping her body, leading into the lake before her. Slowly, pieces of ice broke off from the surface of the lake. The particles were scattered all over the surface, slowly moving to the center. Her eyes traced from left to right as they created a circle in the middle ad began to form together.

They pieced together, making a vertical cylinder. The base of the cylinder was a bit thicker than the top. Demiri closed her forest green eyes and jet black hair waved in front of her face. They caressed her cheeks and frost was slowly growing on them “Kibo,” she whispered. “Take shelter in the bookbag. Do not watch me,” she said just loud enough for her to hear.

The armadillo, who was so fixated on watching this sculpture of ice slowly growing, disappointedly hid in the bookbag in a ball. He knew it was freezing out, and whatever she was doing was surely making the temperature drop.

On the lake, more shards of ice were chipping from the surface. Demiri shut her eyes tight as she heard the pieces clanking together like glass. The cylinder was about two or three feet high and the ice was starting to mold together. Another strong wind, and more pieces shattered on the surface. A second cylinder was beginning to former not too far from the other one. The shards seemed to be growing larger as the broke off from the lake’s surface.

“This is taking to long,” Demiri mumbled to herself, as she dropped her arms to her sides and cut off the chakra’s supply. It sounded like glass breaking as the pieces fell to the ground. Her eyes opened, seeing two mounds of ice particles.

Rubbing her hands together and blowing into her palms, Demiri was slowly ridding herself of the numbness that occurred from this weather. Bringing her hands back to her chest, she sighed a bit as she stared at the two mounds. She closed her eyes as her fingers intertwined to create the handseals needed for her ice jutsu.

The shards of ice slowly began to lift up from the ground, piecing together slowly. They fit together like pieces of a puzzle creating the first thick cylinder, which the base was larger than the middle. Soon, they grew higher, using pieces from the other mound of ice. As they piece together, it was much more organized. The shoulder blade could be seen of the tiger, and soon small details of the claws on the paw. However, one leg would not do the trick.

Across the shoulder, more pieces of ice created a branch off, and slowly the skeletal body work of the tiger was being formed. As the other foreleg was building, the ice on the lake could be crunching into bits, as the ice was needed. The cylinder slowly formed and built up, attaching itself to the branch of the second shoulder blade. From here, it worked back to what would be of the hind legs.

The wind was roaring now as two paws were made of shifting frost. The claws retracted in the front, and in the back massive paws were made. If Demiri would open her eyes now, she would witness the beginning of her crystallized tiger.

Up the jagged back paws; the first hind leg was being made. The ice packed itself up as pieces bounced across its surface upwards and kept on piling. A thick thigh was created, and the hipbone would form before moving to the other hindquarter. As the second hind leg was made, the hipbone was soon to come.

Then, the two were forming a branch. Demiri opened her eyes, still releasing her chakra to witness this wonderful creation. The beauty of it filled her eyes. Kibo was safe and this tiger would soon be ready to go.

Then, large chunks of ice was ripping from the frozen surface. Chunks the size of Demiri’s hands. She shut her eyes tightly as she heard the loud clanking as the pieces slammed together and tiny pieces chipped off due to impact. Some of these pieces would reveal the lake’s literal surface. Of the cool water underneath the thick ice. Little puddles of icy blue shown from the almost white layer of the ice.

The surface of the frozen lake must have been a few inches thick, Demiri figured as she opened her eyes to see what the damage was of the lake. The chunked out holes were scattered all over the surface.

The sounds of the ice sliding and connecting with the framework of the beast brought Demiri to cringe. It was a loud, powerful sound, and she shut her eyes once more. The pieces again climbed up each other, from the back legs. The spinal chord of the feline was now being constructed. It ran from the tiger’s buttocks to what seemed to be it’s neck.

The spinal chord seemed to drift in mid air as the skull was being built. Smaller ice particles arrived again, snapping onto the skull. They were moving a bit quicker now, for the smaller pieces were easiest to deposit. Evenly distributing on the left and right side of the face. Would start the solid inner workings; the mass grew outwards

The skull was soon formed, then more ice packed on to create facial features. The eyes were large and calm, the icy fur on the neck was wild, canines grew in from the sides of it’s muzzle as it was forming carefully. The snout was short and thick, much like a tiger’s regular snout, and the face was deadly still.

Then, the formation was on the neck. Tiny shards created the details, connecting the neck region to the branched off shoulders. Ribs began to form, and muscle mass inside. The torso consisted of larger chunks of ice, however.

The chest was built and sturdy, so the ice rummaged up the hind legs to create the abdomen. Then, working front to back again, the back details were covered, hiding the long rope of the spinal column; which sat neatly inside this iceberg of a beast.

The pelvic region was connected soon enough as the mass filled it’s interior. The tiger’s underbelly was delivered with ice particles, and the tail began to branch off. The smallest of the shards created the agile tail from it’s wide base to the curved tip.

The tail was slightly curved to the left as the tiger’s stance was now created. Demiri, tired from using so much chakra, would now put this beast to the test.

Soon, the ice beast came to life. It’s head bowed, it’s leg crouched slightly. For the trees, it’s frozen eyes aimed for. The tail swayed side to side, and it’s head slowly rise, jaws parting, as it let out a hollow, icy roar. It sounded as if the ice was smashing and creating ear shattering noises as the sound escaped not only from the tiger’s fierce jaws, but from everywhere. From it’s head, to it’s alert ears. Down it’s neck, along the back, in every movement of the paws. All the way to the tail which flicked in rage.

The frozen beast crouched down low on the lake’s surface, which whirled the snowy world in it’s cold, stalking silence. For the trees; for that one tree, Demiri concentrated as she watched the tiger steady itself for the hunt. Its head bowed low, cold ears pinned back against it’s thick, jagged head. The tail twitched and the ice made muscles in its legs were pumping with energy.

Front legs first; they pushed hard off the ground, it’s hind legs surging into the ground to start off it’s leap. Demiri was nearly knocked back by the force of the powerful kick.

As the beast was airborne now, the loud whistling of the wind was created through the spaces between the ice shards. Demiri’s eyes opened wide; of course she’d try again after a quick break, but if the tiger made its way to the tree, she’d be happy.

The first impact was it’s large paws. They pounded into the surface of the snow followed by it’s very strong back legs. The tiger slouched a bit as it did so, nearly crumbling to the ground, but it kept it’s strength.

Firs the left, then the right, it charged for the largest tree of the forest’s clearing. The large hind legs were synchronized with the forepaws in it’s run. As it was heading for the tree, snow kicked up behind it furiously.

Then, a sound like thunder rolled over the terrain. Demiri fell to the snow as she covered her face from any debris. The ground shook a bit as the tree took the impact, bending backwards slightly. Demiri slowly picked herself up from the ground, then another crash was heard. He tree cracked a bit as sap came from it’s bark. She smiled a bit to herself; the snow on the leaves’ top came crashing down among the pile of ice.

The tiger was dead now, but it’s force was great. Carefully, Demiri walked across the lake to inspect the damage. As she neared the tree, Kibo poked his head from the bag and followed behind her. “Whoa,” Demiri was amazed. Her hot breathe made smoke escape her mouth as she spoke.

She sat down and took in a deep breath; she was pretty tired fro what she had just done. Kibo crawled into her lap, studying the damage. “You’re too chicken to wanna see,” she giggled as her cold hand stroked his warm armor, which was soon turning cold from the weather. She ran her chilly hand under his warm belly to warm up and his silky hair entangled her fingers.

“I’m just going to take a short break,” she told him, leaning her head back into a tree. Kibo’s eyes, almost out of fear, would not stay off the damage done to the tree, and the shards of glassy ice under the snow.

In a few minutes, Demiri was back on her feet, and Kibo stood by her side. “You could stay out for this one,” she told the armadillo, though she was sure he’d soon hide in her bookbag to stay warm. To her surprise, he stood by her and watched over the scenery. Demiri closed her eyes a bit as she took in a breath.

I heard this is capable of freezing surrounding water… let’s see she thought to herself, walking back over to the lake. She carefully maneuvered around, and began to break up the ice without putting herself in danger. As the pieces began to crack on their own, she hurriedly ran back to the surface of the snow, as the lake was revealing it’s watery self.

She slowly headed back over to Kibo, and placed herself behind the mound of ice. Her eyes fell upon Kibo, who figured to stand either by her side or behind her… He stood behind her, between both her legs so he could watch what was about to happen.

After a few handseals, Demiri closed her eyes, feeling her chakra escape her body. It was generating towards the mound of ice a distance in front of her. The next target would be to go across the lake, into one of those trees. With none in mind, she wouldn’t have to worry about that until the tiger of ice would form.

The snow slowly fell off from the tiger’s grave, rolling off every side and making a circle around the ice. The wind blew fiercely as Demiri tried to keep her ground, Kibo leaning against her calf for her felt he could fly away with the storm.

The snow surrounding the ice was pushed over to the side, swirling away with the wind, and coming back down elsewhere. With the snow, however, left some pieces of the ice, small and medium sizes. Demiri, however, paid no attention to this.

The ice was heard rustling around as Kibo watched it intently. It began to part itself into four mounds, soon molding the first cylinder. As the original, the base was thick and the ice was crawling up the jagged legs.

Soon, the first forearm was done. Onto the second, Kibo watched as the ice slid it’s way up the base, piling up to the elbow. Then, the back legs. The first one, the ice formed the paw, then the calf and thigh. The second hind leg, however needed more smaller pieces… From the lake, Kibo watched as needles of frost made their way over to the hind leg.

The hipbones were soon created and linked together. The pelvic region formed as the large chunks crawled onto the skeletal mass. The spinal chord suspended and curved upward as it reached the base of where the neck would be.

The chunks of ice crawled up from the forearms and began to form the shoulder blades once again. They were soon attached to the spinal column, which had extended to the tailbone. From the neck’s based, the mass was spreading with ice to create the large neck and cranium.

From the hind legs, the tail was shaped again. It formed hanging limp, the curved end of the tip slightly curled up near the ground. Then, larger pieces formed the rib cage and attached the ribs to the tiger’s spine.

The muscles and fur began to form over the ribs, as they grew thick and built up the immense torso, which was now attaching to the shoulder blades, neck, and forelegs. Down the torso and to the abdomen, the mass was growing quickly. Kibo’s eyes widened as chunks from the parting lake’s surface flew over to the tiger. They slammed hard against the other icy chunks, and Kibo pressed himself against the girl’s legs.

Demiri paid no mind to Kibo; by her he would be safe, very scared, but still so safe. Yet, the chunks flying to the two could pose as dangers. However, the body frame acted as a magnet, attracting all the pieces to its body.

The chunks molded into the ice, and the body was slowly being completed. The surface of the tiger was very jagged, yet shiny. Kibo watched the somewhat see-through beast before him, which was so lifeless. What was the point of this creation? He had no clue, but the scene was so frightening to him.

The smaller shards of ice accumulated on the tiger’s face, creating the short snout and bared teeth. The tiger’s eyes were still very calm. The nose was small and the icicles of whiskers were spread from its snout.

Demiri’s eyes opened to see the tiger’s form, ice pieces still bouncing up and down the body to fall neatly into place. This time, more chakra would need to mold this tiger together.

The crystallized white and blue tiger would then twitch on the surface. As it compacted from the inside out, it grew somewhat thinner. Kibo would watch as sheet as ice headed to them from the lake. However, they turned and slipped over and onto the structure in front of the girl and the rodent who stood behind it.

Ice bounded up and down the surface of the tiger, and soon it was finished. Molded together and packed tightly, Demiri would need to keep her chakra concentrated on the tiger.

As it slowly began to turn to life, Kibo backed up a bit. The tiger’s legs spread apart in the snow, flexing its ice muscles and retracting its claws in and out.

The tail slowly lifted, and curled up in the air, as it twisted around and danced with grace. Kibo watched as the torso swayed a bit, in the opposite motion of the tail. Then, the head tilted to the right, then the left, it’s cold, calm eyes staring off into the distance. Across the lake, into that tree, she thought to herself as the tiger’s eyes scanned the area, picking out a single tree.

Then, the beast would lower its head, and its forelegs would crouch down into the snow. The paws were covered by the snow as it steadied its weight; it’s tail flicking from side to side.

The hind legs bent slightly, and the tiger’s eyes stared at the target. Then, in a single leap, it bounded off the ground with immense force. The snow was kicked back as the beast took off, nearly throwing Demiri back. Kibo, however, was now buried with snow.

The tiger let out it’s icy roar as the paws crashed into the ground. Then, it’s hind legs impacted the snow, leaving two ditches where it’s paws had slammed.

The eyes narrowed as it fled across the terrain, over the lake. It merely ran across the water’s surface, which turned to ice by the touch. Then, claws scraping across the surface, the massive beast conquered the lake and was now running across the snow. It rammed into the tree across the lake, it’s forepaw raised.

As the paw collided with the tree, the body then made impact. The crash could be heard as Demiri fell backwards into the snow. For now, all that was visible was the look of an explosion, but she was very unsure of what had just happened.

As the ice hit the tree, it shattered all over. Demiri soon got to her feet as the area settled down and the echo this had caused soon would fade away. Kibo poked his head from the pile of snow he was buried in and struggled to crawl out. “Let’s check it out,” she smiled as she pulled him from the snow. She kept him in her arms as she headed over to the lake.

From the short distance, it was obvious this attack was pretty powerful. The tree was bent backwards, and shards of ice, like shattered glass, spread across the land. They sparkled in the sunlight, and brought a humble smile across Demiri’s lips. With Kibo in her arms, she took a step onto the lake. Chakra was at her feet as she took a jog across the solid lake, as this beast had frozen it once again.

As she stepped onto the snow’s surface, she noticed the damage on the tree’s bark. Sap escaped the holes and ice, like daggers, was stabbed into the wood. When the tiger shattered due to the impact, it must have shattered into the tree as well, she guessed.

Her cold hands ran over the tree, which bled sap. The tiger, obviously dead now, Kibo was still scared of. “Oh don’t worry,” Demiri said as she noticed the fear in the rodent’s eyes. “Just never get in it’s way,” she told him as she set him down on the snow.

Carefully, he sniffed around, stepping over the glass like ice so he would not cut up his feet. “Think I should give it another go?” Demiri sighed as she pulled back her hood to retie her very uneven hair. Many black strands annoyed her face as they tickled her nose. She whipped them away and tied back her hair as she took a seat on the ground, studying the damage.

She sighed deeply, taking a break for now.

Demiri slouched back against a tree behind her as Kibo stumbled over to her and laid his head in her lap. His eyes stared up at her. She could tell he was freezing, so why was he still out? She stroked the fine hairs that stuck from underneath his shell before she got back onto her feet.

“We’ll try this again,” she smiled down to him. He sat down in the snow, waiting for the girl’s next move. She turned her back to the orange armadillo as her freezing hands worked on pulling down her jacket’s zipper. As the zipper parted down the middle and separated the two sides, she slipped her arms out of it and tossed it to the ground. Like a reflex, Kibo crawled under the jacket to stay warm as she stood beside Demiri.

Her shoulders and arms bear once again, she felt like a human-sickle. She held her shoulders for a few seconds, then rubbed her hands together and blew into them. It’s only a little nippy out, she lied to herself. As a ninja, she was aware she’d need to toughen up.

Her hands were brought together to her chest and her fingers began their deed. As the handseals were performed, her eyes shut as her concentration lead to the ice; any ice. From the ones in the ground, to the ones stabbed into the tree. The fresh sheet over the lake. They were all what she was looking for.

Common warmth generated from her insides, and it exerted outwards. Chakra seemed to be escaping her pores and heading for the lake again. These tiny pieces of broken ice began to tremble on the ground before heading over to the lake in front of the girl. The pieces that were stuck in the trees fell to the ground and slid across the snow.

A few feet ahead, on the lake, these pieces began to sort themselves out. Four small mounds began to pile up. The process would start all over again.

The four paws would arrange themselves quickly. The paw, reaching up to the shoulder on the first foreleg. Then, the shoulder created a branch off, where the neck would be. The second forepaw would form neatly, creating the shoulder blade and a branch off. The two attached to support the neck.

As the collarbone was now attracting ice shards, the spinal chord would be worked on. The rope like structure ran down the back as the ice quickly pieced and compacted itself together. The ribs branched from the spinal chord; several on each side, and then grew thicker, acting as the beasts muscle tissue.

The two mounds behind this structure now began their process. First, the toes and paws, then the ice shaped the first hind leg. It turned sharply as it jetted up, then curved neatly for the knee. The hipbone was then created, and the ice would choose to work their way up from the paw, and down from the hips. The rear was almost complete.

As the second hind leg was completed from down sides and the ice masses met in the middle, the leg was sealed. Then, on the rear of the tiger, the tailbone would form as ice now began to break off from the lake’s source. Tiny pieces climbed their way up the legs and moved back. They lined up and quickly were padded down to form the tail, which curved to the right as the tip curled slightly.

As the torso was completing itself, detailing up to the hipbone, the ice shards would tighten, solidifying the structure. Then, the neck would complete its shape, working up to the jaw bone, achieving the shape of the skull, and layers over it. The eyes were shaped into the face, the muzzle extended out slightly. The ears, alert and rounded, short to the head. The mouth was partially opened, and as always, the eyes sat calm and dead.

Demiri opened her emerald eyes as she final details were taking place; the claws, the layer which reminded her of fur. It was a lovely beast, and the stance was strong, ready for anything. The fur looking ice on the chin drooped a bit like a goatee, giving this one a bit more of character.

Kibo watched as the creature was ending its final stages of construction. Demiri closed her eyes tightly, and the feel was stronger, the sensation pinching her skin. How the chakra was buzzing just below her own surface, emitting towards this figure. This ice sculpture of a tiger.

It was the center of attention, as she blanked out all that meant so much to her; which was not quite a lot. But at the moment, this very second, her life depended on the tiger. Everything she stood for was in the tiger. This, she knew, would be her first basis of protection if ever assaulted. Kibo’s life depended on the tiger. Kibo was not seen as a weapon of defense, he was small and young. She had devoted her life to him, it seemed. And now, she was to devote herself to this tiger at the moment.

“As the first strong jutsu I will know, I give myself to you,” she whispered. The winds picked up as her eyes shut tightly. Her hair blew all over the place, but she paid no mind. Kibo backed up in fear, watching the fierce being slowly brought to life.

His beady eyes stayed focus, then looked up to his friend, Demiri. This indeed was the most powerful jutsu she had been training for so far.

Then, as the beast bowed its head, the ice could be heard crunching, laying low in the snow. It tail swiftly twitched, left to right, twirling and spinning in its cold rage. The legs bent low, and the ground pounded in as a fierce leap was taken.

The power of it broke the ice, splitting the frozen surface into two, and those pieces breaking into smaller ones, scattering along the lake. The ground the tiger was pounding into as it dashed across the snow felt as if an earthquake was about to happen. Demiri took a step back, struggling not to break her concentration. The wind was blowing stronger than ever, nearly knocking her over.

Craters in the snow were created with each step of the sprinting beast. The snow being kicked up seemed to turn into a blizzard as it was splashed everywhere. Kibo jumped and curled quickly into a ball under Demiri’s jacket as the noise petrified him.

With her arm, Demiri shielded her face as the snow traveled across the lake for the two onlookers. She sunk to the ground, keeping her knees up, expecting to fall over any second.

Then, the massive wreck could be heard. A loud cracking sound, and Demiri had no idea where it was actually targeting. Snow slumping into several piles could be heard along with the sound of glass shattering and wood crunching.

Then, silence fell over the land. In a few moments, Demiri would move her arm down from her face, seeing the destruction up ahead. Kibo, however, stayed in place. Another slump of snow rolled from the treetops and landed with a splash onto the ground.

A gentle breeze felt up her bear arms, giving the girl goosebumps. She rubbed her shoulders, then lifted her body back onto her feet. Her eyes scanned the mystified area, which had taken a beating now three times. Her eyes traced over the lake’s surface, which was scattered with what was one a layer of ice. She took a step forward and shielded her eyes from the bright sun’s reflection in the snow.

From what she could see was a few trees damaged and the holes in the snow. It didn’t look too bad, but she knew she’d have to check this out. Leaning over to lift up her jacket, she brought Kibo up with it and held the jacket and ball in her arms. Then, she slowly took a step nto the icy water’s surface, and walked across it with ease as what remained of her chakra helped her glide across the surface.

Once she made it across the lake and stepped onto solid land, her eyes widened to the site. The depressions made in the snow were quite large and deep. She stepped around them, following the large footprints. Kibo popped from his shell and looked around in wonder.

As she passed where her bookbag had been the last two times, she hardly noticed where it was. Until she squinted her eyes, she noticed it must have been flung back along with her belt and sansetsukon. From it’s original area, it was back at least by three feet, and nearly buried in snow.

Demiri approached the trees, which the tiger attempted to take down. They were large trees, now surrounded by loads of snow and crushed ice. From the bases, which were bent and buried, her eyes traced up from there. Two trees took the impact: The first tree was bent and cracked, sap lazily seeping out of it’s cracks. However, the other tree took it the hardest.

Sap was running down it’s battered bark surface, large ice daggers were lodged in the wood otherwise. Kibo sniffed the air, then leapt down to Demiri’s feet, avoiding the shards of ice which could break the skin of his feet with just enough pressure.

Demiri studied the tree, as she ran her fingers over the surface. Her numbing fingers caressed the ice which projected from the wood. “Whoa,” she whispered with a smile.

Keep up the good work!

Demiri’s hand fell to her side from the tree’s bark as she fell to the ground on her back. A light sigh escaped her lips as she looked up to the baby blue sky. Her hair flopped in a mess, being a great contrast as the white snow sparkled against jet black hair, which in the light shined a deep blue or turquoise.

Her emerald eyes embraced the clear sky which then sun was slowly warming up. However, her hands were still very cold, and her shoulders were freezing. She closed her eyes for a few moments as she rested in the darkness of closed lids. Kibo looked to the girl, he knew she ought to rest after that…

In what felt like only a few seconds, Demiri could feel a dulled claw rub against her arm, and the feel of her jacket pushed against her skin. She lifted her head up and opened her eyes to see Kibo, who sat with a part of the jacket in his mouth, as if he were placing it on her. She slowly sat up and smiled down to the armadillo. “No,” she pushed the jacket away and gave him a pat on the head. “I’ll be fine,” she smiled. Back to training…

Demiri headed to the center of the snowy clearing before standing with her legs spread for balance. Kibo followed quickly after her, but stopped in mid step as Demiri snapped her head to him. “I suggest you stay away while I do this, Kibo. I do not want you getting hurt,” she said as she looked over to him. He lowered his head a bit, annoyed with her constantly worrying about his well-being. Yet, he was smart enough to understand her concern for him, thus respecting her wishes.

He snatched her jacket from the ground and dragged it behind a tree, where he would drop it and curl up into it.

Demiri, making sure the armadillo was out of her way, rubbed her numbing hands together, blowing her hot breath into them. Then, she would form her hands into the horse handseal: six fingers, being her two pinkies, ring and middle fingers, curled up to her palm and intertwined. With her index fingers up and thumbs bent in, the handseal was created.

Her emerald eyes watched as the snow slowly began to form a circle in front of her. The ground shifted, and slowly a cone shaped would begin to form. Starting out rather small, it increased in size, slowly rising to Demiri’s knees.

As the pile of snow was not built up a bit above her knees, it slowly began to twist around somewhat like an inverted tornado; the base being thick and the top being slender. Chakra eased itself from the girl’s body as it entered into the snow and the wind spinning it, until it was soon spinning rapidly in place.

Demiri took a few steps back from the rotating cone. Her pant legs flapped at her skin as the wind blew somewhat strongly. Then, she watched as the surface of mound lost its smooth, gentle texture. Jagged edges began to form at its exterior, and soon, they began to lash out.

Demiri jumped a bit back as a few smashed against her pants. However, they did not strike her close enough to slice through the cloth. She took more steps back as the cone whirled around, the wind spinning it and lashing out.

She watched as the cone slowly began to die down, throwing all it’s snow around the place as it slashed into the air. Soon, the wind would keep living in the area. Demiri took a breath in and broke her concentration, ending the twisting of the snow.

She took a few steps into the area, seeing the dulled down dip in the ground; the grass now revealed through the snow’s thick layers. It has it’s energy, but once it uses it’s base fuel, it will die… huh, her mind analyzed the scene.

Demiri kicked the snow back into place, and headed off to the trees once again. She stood a good distance away from the wooden towers with hair of leaves, and looked them up and down. With a few feet between her and the trees, she nodded to herself, bringing her hands to her chest. Kibo popped out of his ball, and watched Demiri in the distance.

As her fingers interlocked with her index fingers pointing up and her thumbs bent in, the horse handseal was completed. Shortly after her hands made this form, a mound of snow began to build in the form of a cone. Soon enough, the triangular pile began to spin. Shooting from the funnel, snow launched out, slashing at all objects in its proximity.

Hurling it’s own pieces of itself, the pile was now growing smaller and smaller as the moments passed. Dying down, the final swings and throws were delivered to the nearby bark of the trees, and dulled lacerations could be seen.
