Alone again; she felt relief. At first, she assumed that fear would overwhelm her, as she had gotten used to being accompanied by someone. Or rather, she was the one doing the accompanying. In a sense, it was nice to leave Cervantes behind, as he just wasn't the type of person she felt comfortable hanging around with. Then again, she preferred the solitude, regardless of a person's personality.

Karina had orginally planned to return to the Wind country, but her she decided to take a different course. What was there to return to there? Her family was dead, and she had exhausted all the information from her books multiple times, so they wouldn't be missed too much. Besides, in a new place, just imagine what treasures she could find! The idea seemed more appealing everytime she thought about it.

' Missing? Nobody will miss me. It's against the law, but isn't murder as well? '

The thought crossed Karina's mind as she wandered in a different direction from her home country. She didn't want to return, so she would risk breaking some rules. If she was hunted down, so be it. She would train extensively to fend off any opposing ninjas.

She wandered for a couple of hours, coming across a port as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in a rainbow of colours. At first, Karina was skeptical, thinking travelling by boat to somewhere was pushing it a little too much. But no, now was the time to take risks. She boarded a ship as darkness consumed the sky.

Karina listened as the water slapped up against the boat, staring off into the darkness. Stars dotted the sky, supplying minimal light. The lights of the ship tore through the dark, making the ship's features somewhat visible. Despite the time of night, Karina was far from tired. She had been napping earlier, which discouraged further sleeping.

Since no one else was up, Karina decided to train to pass the time. Sure, pulling off techniques involving electricity was dangerous, being surrounded by water. Oh well, she would be careful. As long as she could control it, no harm would be done.

Karina took in a deep breath, closing her eyes. She performed a series of handseals - Dragon, boar, dog, and monkey - and sparks began to dance around her arm. She gritted her teeth, and shot her hand into the air. A thunderbolt surged from her palm, being directed into the sky. She figured if she aimed it anywhere else, it could cause some chaos. The bolt extended about five metres, and Karina opened her eyes. The sight of lightning being so close astonished her, causing her to lose control. She felt a surge run through her body, and the lightning disappear. Karina collasped on the ground, a bit overwhelmed by her techniquie.

" Gah... "</sub>

" Are you alright? Did you have too much to drink last night? "

The voice startled Karina as her eyes slowly fluttered open. The world around her was a blur, but a figure of a person staring at her could be seen. Her head hurt a bit, and her right arm felt a bit numb, plus she felt groggy. What had happened? She had been training, then she ended up here? Where was she, anyways?

" Wha... No, no... no drinking... "

Karina sputtered, but the words sounded convincingly slurred and drunken. She didn't know who she was talking to, but now her eyes were adjusting to the light. It appeared the voice belonged to a young man, perhaps a couple of years older than her. He was tall and slender; he didn't look like much of a fighter at first glance. His brown hair was short and spiky, and his soft blue eyes observed her, with concern overcoming them. His attire consisted of a tight black muscle shirt and baggy black pants.

Karina didn't spend too much time looking at him though, more interested in the sunlight that pierced through the window of the small cabin. It appeared she was knocked out for quite awhile. Just great...

" I'm Daiki, and you are? "

He questioned, extending an arm to shake hands with her. He seemed pretty friendly, but too friendly for Karina's liking. It was hard to trust a person upon the first moments of meeting them.

" I'm Karina... "

She replied, timidly taking his hand to shake. Revealing her name... that wasn't a good idea since she planned on going missing. She swallowed hard, then cracked a smile towards Daiki. Her hand retreated to her side, then she rubbed her forehead. This headache was a drag...

" I should go... I've got stuff to do. "

Karina spoke briefly, quickly raising from the bed that Daiki had rested her unconcious body on, and fleeing the room. It was just too awkward, and she wanted to train more, despite the discomfort she felt. Daiki watched her exit with a perplexed expression, wondering what the hurry was.

Karina returned to the spot she had first starting training, taking in a breath of the crisp ocean air. The sun glared upon the ocean, as it lingered high in the sky. No clouds provided shade, but Karina didn't mind; this was nothing compared to her home country.

There were a few people near, engaged in quiet conversation. Karina ignored them; hopefully they wouldn't mind her firing off bolts of lightning. Her arm still felt a bit numb, so she would have to use her left arm for a bit. She performed the required headseals to use the Ryuugan technique, ignoring the discomfort in her right arm. The electricity collected in her hand, and this time Karina watched carefully. She didn't want to lose control like she did the last time.

The lightning bolt shot out from her palm, which was aimed away from any obstacles. Now more prepared this time around, she was fascinated by the bright light that she had created with her own hand. She had to look away after a couple moments though, as the light was pretty intense. A powerful feeling came over her with the success, despite the fact she had troubles aiming the lightning bolt. She cut off the bolt, which could only reach about five meters, by closing her hand. She gripped her arm, feeling the numbness begin to consume her arm. So, this technique was the cause of this.

Her head throbbed now, and she squinted as she turned around to see a collection of surprised faces. She blinked, noticing the witnesses' reactions, which consisted of gasping, wide eyes, and hands placed over wide mouths. Well... nobody was hurt, right? She sighed, turning back around to avoid the faces.

Although both her arms were numb, and a dull headache lingered, Karina proceeded to use Higashi Raikou Dageki again. Practice made perfect, didn't it? After making the Dragon, Boar, Monkey, and Dog headseals, she extended her left arm, and closed her eyes. Electricity swirled around her hand, and more lightning surged from her palm. It was a beautiful thing to harness lightning; the blinding speed and strength of it pleased her. She just had to open her eyes and admire the lightning bolt that extended from her hand, trying to reach the sky.

" Karina! "

A voice spoke up, startling Karina. She spun around, holding her hand, which was sending the lightning bolt forward, towards the voice. Her first instinct was to defend herself, so she used this new technique as her defense. Unfortunately, Daiki was the victim, and as soon as the lightning struck him, he screeched in pain. The violent sound made Karina's heart sink, now realizing that she had attacked that nice guy who helped her. She clucthed her hand into a fist, and stared at Daiki, who had fallen to the ground, in horror.

" Uh... Oh shit! "</sub>

+10 There ya go! Now FINISH HIM >D

Eyes glared at Karina from all angles, as a crowd of people formed a circle around her and the fallen male. Angry chatter escalated, and aggression took over some people's faces. Everywhere she looked, her eyes met up with an outraged person. It was terrifying, leaving her heart thumping hard. She couldn't turn anywhere, as she had been trapped like an animal in the circle.

" What was that all about?! "

A person's voice broke through the in undecipherable bickering in the background. It followed to a young woman, holding a crying baby. She glowered at Karina as if she was a mischevious villian, which everyone around had seemed to assume anyways. Karina's voice had been stolen away from her by the sheer fear she experienced right now, mostly concerned that she may had killed Daiki. That wasn't possible though, right? It was only lightning, and it wasn't nearly as intense as those bolts that descended from menacing storm clouds.

Some people moved in, looking ready to pin her down, or just prevent her from escaping. Karina stepped back, even though there was ultimately no where she could go to escape her fate. Would she be going to jail? Or killed? She swallowed hard at the thoughts, unable to concentrate on the trouble she had gotten herself into.

" Don't lay... a finger on her... "

Daiki slowly spoke, shakily standing up. His face and clothes looked a bit charred from the lightning, but a more calm expression occupied his face. The crowd was silenced, and Karina turned to face the now conscious male. What a relief; he wasn't dead!

" She was just training... She did quite well! She caught me by surprise! "

The male informed, raising a hand and scratching the back of his head. Everyone, including Karina, fell motionless. Karina was quite surprised that Daiki was so forgiving of her attacking him. It was an accident, but if she was him, she would've been flustered. The crowd dispursed, still giving Karina questioning glares as they wandered off to continue their own businesses.

" Why? Why did you defend me? "

Karina questioned once they were alone. She held a palm over hear forehead as she spoke, once again feeling dizzy. Really, she was straining herself with this technique. Daiki obviously noticed, being more concerned for her than himself.

" It was only an accident! Here, come to my cabin again. You aren't looking too well. "

Daiki commented, turning around to head back to the cabin. Karina followed hesistantly, figuring it was the best for her to hide away and take it easy for a bit. She supposed he was trustworthy for the time being, after all, he just saved her ass.

Upon entering the cabin, Daiki offered Karina his bed, which she gladly accepted. She pretty much collasped on the bed, giving in to her headache and pain. All this training deserved a proper rest...

---

" Would you like some green tea? "

Daiki offered as Karina stirred awake. It seemed she had napped for a few hours, which refreshed her quite a bit. The headache was dull, but the numbness in her arms disappeared. She slowly sat up, seeing the male held a cup of tea before her. She gently took it from him, sipping away at it. The hot liquid drizzled down her throat, leaving a smile on her face.

" So, you are training? I can help you with that. "

Daiki offered, despite being a victim of her technique earlier. Karina looked at him a bit skeptically, wondering why he would want to waste time with her. She didn't need him for training, she was handling this well on her own. Then again, she had no target to practice her aim with...

" If you don't mind the possibility of being electricuted again, then sure. "

Karina replied, then took her final sip of the tea. If he was that crazy, then so be it. If he was still standing after that strike, then it obviously wasn't strong enough. Not that she wanted to kill the man, she just didn't want a useless technique that left her in discomfort as well. She got off the bed, and exited the cabin, expecting Daiki to follow.

Once outside, the two spread out a bit, facing each other. Karina felt kind of bad that she was going to use this technique on Daiki again, but he seemed up for it. Karina moved her hands quickly to create the handseals, then stretched out one of her arms. A lightning bolt shot out from her hand, glaring brightly. Daiki watched the attack surge towards him, but it never actually reached him. It seemed he was out of its range, and the lightning bolt actually looked harmless to him. He chuckled a bit, and Karina raised an eyebrow. How embarassing...

Gritting her teeth, Karina dashed forward, repeating the handseals. Daiki's eyes widened, seeing that she wasn't fooling around anymore. Another lightning bolt escaped Karina's hand, but it was poorly aimed. She hoped to strike him in the chest, but it headed no where near there. However, as Daiki was attempting to evade the strike, it caught his leg, sending him to the ground again. Karina stopped, watching as the bright light shocked the male, burning a hole through his pants where it struck.

It took Daiki a few moments to stand up, noticing the hole near the bottom of his one pant leg. Impressive, he thought. It was somewhat painful, leaving a bit of a burn where the lightning struck. If Karina was more accurate, this could be a nasty technique.

" Nice... Oh? It seems we are here at the Moon Country. "

Daiki informed, glancing over at the shoreline they had now reached. Karina also looked, relieved that he was alright, and that they had reached land. So, they went to the Moon Country? Karina knew where that was; it was far from home.

People departed the boat, and Karina and Daiki left together. He gently grabbed her shoulder, looking at her with a smile. Karina averted her gaze, feeling a bit awkward. At least they could seperate now.

" Shall we meet again? "

The male questioned, and Karina nodded somewhat. She wasn't too keen about that, but if it happened, then it wouldn't be the end of the world. Before Karina could turn away, Daiki pulled her close, gently pressing his lips against hers. Karina was surprised, but she didn't resist, simply enjoying the moment. Afterwards, Daiki smiled, and turned around, leaving without another word. Karina watched him until he couldn't be seen anymore, then she sighed. Well, at least there was one friendly person on this idea, right?

With a headache prominent again, Karina began to wander, trying to avoid civilization for the time being. She needed help with these headaches, but exposing herself to the public was too risky for the time being. After all, she had gone missing from her home country.
