Just what was going on? Mai had shifted her body away from him, gripping onto her blade while he held his own. But just as she did this his arm swept forward in front of himself, sending the long blade out in a arc slash. Yet, there was no hope for this attack to hit Mai, so why had he done such a thing? It wasn’t until she saw the flames shooting forth from the slash that Mai began to worry. Her hand reached for her own sword, unsheathed it immediately and quickly delivered an upward slash to disperse the flames, allowing them to fly on past her, their heat feeling unbearable as it did so.

“Hey, I didn’t come to fight yo-!”

Just as she was about to finish, Mai had a searing hot blade placed right to her neck, stopping her from finishing the sentence. The man with these crimson eyes held no mercy within them, yet she could help but try and keep a straight face, trying to continue the sentence, but again, was interrupted by what the man had to say this time.

“Then why did you come here? Obviously this place is secluded, meaning I’d like to be alone.”

A grimace formed on Mai’s visage, making her close her eyes slowly and take a deep breath. As much as a ‘deep breath’ could go without pressing more of her skin against the searing hot blade. She didn’t blink, just kept her eyes set on the man.

”Well, it’s hard to with this sword pressed up against my neck. . .”

She didn’t bother to look away, blink, or move too much until he removed the blade from it’s previous position. Her hand lowered from the handle of her blade, sighing a bit, before it reached back up and rubbed the place where the blade had been pressed against. The man placed it onto his shoulder while he waited for her answer. She couldn’t help but marvel at the beauty of that sword. And from the locks of that slab of metal on the anvil, there was yet another one there. Mai started to walk towards the anvil before the blade was set in front of her once again.

”Are you after one of these? . . . If so, how much are you offering for one? I just happen to be forging another, not that you need to know why but if you wish to purchase it. . .Not to mention they’re of weapons of great power within the right hands. . .”

The man grinned, lowering the blade and picking up his hammer. Mai looked at the work of art, that was as deadly as it was beautiful. She wanted it – needed it! Her body swiftly turned to the man and with a look of determination she decided to try on out for a job as a bargainer right then and there!

”I’ll give you 5,000 for it.”

”5,000? Pfft. . . Do you think my work into this blade is that mediocre!?”

”8,000. . .”

”How about 15,000. Things aren’t cheap within Oto no Kuni, foreigner.”

He probably could tell the difference between her and a sound native, most likely due to her unsually pale skin. . . But she wasn’t going to go on out full blast to get such a blade, even if it did catch her fancy. Just a bit lower. . .

”10,000, and I’ll help out with some things your home may need help with?”

A ninja doing made business. . . Well it wasn’t the worst thing that could’ve happened. Now he had to either accept it or decline. . . But by the smirk on his face, it wasn’t too hard to tell which decision he was leaning more towards.

”Alright. Wait one moment. . .”

The man went back to smashing the hammer into the slab of metal, then dipped it into what looked like lava, and he had no protective gear on while doing so. Was he not afraid of the heat, or did he just not care? Perhaps he just could handle more than an average ninja could, like her? The actions of banging, reheating, and then finally cooling continued for an hour or two, and not until he stood back up did Mai stop leaning against the tree a few feet away from the shack.

”Alright. Pay up.”

Mai retrieved the 10,000 ryo from her pouch, handing it to the man, and in return got a suitcase, not a blade.

”What’s this supposed to be? I’m not a business woman, I want my sword!”

The Uchiha grinned before walking back to the shack, sitting down on a stool and watching Mai as she fumed her agitation at the man.

”Just open it, and put it together. You should have enough sense to do that, and then I’ll teach you have to teach you how to use it properly. Along with, you help out around the house of course.”

Mai frowned and shrugged. She might as well get it over with. . .

[/i] Like a wild machine ready to get to work! Ah it sounded marvelous to be honest. Was hers the same? She asked this with only her eyes, gazing at him as he gave her a reassuring nod.

She jabbed the blade into the ground, just as her teacher did. It proved no problem because of her astounding strength, disregarding her figure she was extremely strong. Amazing! The blade itself gave off a faint red crimson glow, a sign of pure magnificence to Maiko! Her right arm raised back up, pointing the blade to the sky while twirling it around. Her eyes were set on her teacher, awaiting for further instructions on what to do.

Now, I stood before my teacher, hand gripping onto my blade while I waited for his next subtle direction. No one could be straightforward it seemed these days. . . He undid the small piece of leather holding his blade, and raised it above his head, allowing it to perform a series of spins and such. A show of skill, no doubt. However this was nothing compared to how his own blade roared loudly, his own chakra forming itself into the blade.

I placed my blade onto my shoulder, just as he did, being careful to avoid the sharpened portion just to be sure not to burn myself, nor cut myself. But with a swift lunge my teacher was off, his left hand extending out as he ran forward, clearing the distance from him to me and then passed me in no time at all. I managed to turn around just in time to see him rushing straight for a tree, blade still glowing brilliantly with heat.

Then, he began to skid, his intense speeds aftereffects no doubt -- but it played so fluidly with his next movements. His sword was placed so that it was facing away from him, and held at his side, while his left arm was aimed towards the tree, and then began to spin towards his left. The blade itself, red with heat, was delivered right into the bark of the tree, and due to what seemed to be again, the aftereffects of his speed, sliced right through it.

It wasn't one of those intense moments where something just was slashed in half, subtly. But instead it was one of those moments where you know it happened simply because of the burnt marks on the tree, and the crimson blade slowly returning back to its original silver. He wasn't done though, his blade lifted up again, after he was turned back towards the tree, he went back in for a slash. This time though his sword wasn't glowing its normal hint. . . Until the very last second. . .

Sling-Sling! The sound that rang through the air as his blade cut through the bark, it was pretty cool, I have to admit. His blade also made a sizzling noise due to the heat of the blade, again, this time the blade had enough force to tip the blade over. Though the blade was. . . A blade, it didn't cut exactly down its path. it would take a bit of a wicked path, hacking up the victim. Leaving a trail of black burning, in this case, bark. Simply amazing to say the least. . . But now, it was my time to shine.

ai exited front yard of the house she lived in for the past two week, the memories stored with her to be viewed at another time.[/color] She turned, waving to her master, who just closed his eyes and turned, closing the door, seemingly a cold goodbye. But she could’ve sworn she saw a small smirk grow on his lips before the door fully closed. “Alright. . .” She placed her case onto the ground, before pulling out her map, looking at it with a pensive visage.

“So, I can just take the boat from the port over here, back home. . . Well, I suppose I’ll be home soon,” She said with a smile, placing her map back into her pouch and walking down the path and to the port. After an hour or so, of just, plain walking, Mai came into view of the port, and once finding out where the boat which was going nearest to Yukigakure was, she was prepared to go and see her home once again. Going to the room she had on the boat, falling onto the bed after getting settled in.

The things that had happened – the things she had just learned, so much, but, she was sure she’d be ready for any type of challenge up ahead.

[/color] I murmured to myself, memorizing it as I walked to the docks, searching the schedule for the boat leaving for Wave. Upon finding it, and boarding it, I immediately looked around only to see it was empty – granting me permission to vault to the very top of the ship, laying back on it while awaiting for it to set sail and arrive in Wave. “Ah, a little nap will do me great. . .”
