Training Intro-
Erisu awoke so suddenly, covered in a cold sweat. He breathed in hard and deep trying to calm himself down. He let his breath out through his mouth slowly, and tried to regain his focus. He glanced around his dark room and quickly it all came back to him.
He needed no reminder, but it seemed his mind would never let him forget. Not that he wanted to forget it either but to always be reminded? He could see them, his past team-mates,dying, as they did in the few scattered memories of that day. Every night they died in his head and every night he saw herdie right in front of him. "Torturous Memories." He mumbled right before collapsing back on his pillow and going back to sleep.
*2Hours Later*
He woke up again, except in a much calmer fashion. The room stayed dark, although the sunlight intruded through small holes in the closed shades covering the sliding glass doors next to his bed. Erisu rose quickly from the bed and faced the sliding doors. He threw open the shades and the sunlight finally stormed in. Erisu cringed from the sudden increase of brightness, but then his eyes adjusted and he looked outside."Well, well."He spoke to himself,"Such a big suprise, its rainy weather again.
He looked down on the village from his apartment's sliding glass doors. He gazed at the view he had from so high up, noticing the few people who were about right now so early. It was slightly overcast as always with a few raindrops scattered about. It was "nice" out now, but it would get worse later. The breeze blew in through the open door and little cool rain drops peppered his face. He closed his eyes and enjoyed it. It felt peacful. He stretched his limbs and yawned. His arms ached deep down into the muscle. The stretch both hurt and felt good at the same time.
The large room was alot of space for just him, and there wasen't much to decorate considering he only really slept here. Most of his busy days were spent doing missions and that meant sleeping on the road.
He made his bed quickly, neatly placing the navy blue linen on the bed. He threw the two fluffy pillows of the same color, back into their position at the head of the bed. As he walked away from his bed to his closet, the wood floors moaned with each step until he finally reached his destination. He went into the walk-in closet and came out shirt-less with a lime green towel draped over his shoulder.
He headed to the shower, hoping he could wash the dreams away too.
*25 Minutes later*
Erisu emerged from from his apartment fully dressed and ready to go. He closed the sliding doors behind him, and then locked it. He turned and lept high into the air,he soared and reached as high as he could before gravity started pulling him back to earth. He centered his momentum and front flipped once during his descent, landing gracefully on the stone paved road.
"Erisu, you are exactly 35 seconds late." A voice giggled behind him. Erisu didnt even have to turn in order to tell who it was. "I've put alot of thought into what you said Akari,"Erisu turned around, and continued "and I think that you are right."He looked into her eyes when he spoke those words, and she smiled when she heard it."You know little brother, I think you're finally starting to learn something." They both laughed a bit at her comment.
It had been a while since he laughed and it felt good. The smile crept from his face quickly though. "Well since you made the offer to help me train, i'm gonna make you work hard." "You work me hard? Before i'm done with you, you'll be begging me for some rest." The edges of his mouth curled into a slight grin. "Yea right."
He looked down at her face because she was shorter and realized how much she had actually changed. She was 3 years older than him but she was the closest in age to Erisu than his other three sisters. He hadnt paid much attention to his family for the past year but she seemed more mature than he remembered, then again she did take care of him for a while so maybe that forced her to "grow up" some. Her face still had the old smooth features he remembered and she shared his white hair color, it was a family thing. Her white hair had many white clips in the them Her aqua blue eyes always seemed to see inside of Erisu's head; she could always tell what was on his mind. She was skinny and very beautiful, but never seemed to take an interest in guys.
They arrived at the Ryuzaki family house and slowly stepped inside. "I never thought that I would ever come back here." He took a deep breath when he closed the door behind himself."Dude, you need to relax. Mom and Dad are not here so you have nothing to worry about.They walked down a hallway with wooden-floor boards that moaned even louder than the ones he had in his apartment. Just being back in this house filled Erisu with nostalgia. He started flashing back but then they reached a door at the end of the dimly lit hallway.
Akari broke the silence "Alright, we go all the way down to the bottom," she pointed to stairs inside the door, leading downwards into darkness,"you tell me what you wanna train for,"she continued, "and i'll make up a training regimen for you to follow that will best suit your needs for mastering the jutsu." She grabbed a candle-lit lamp off of a small table just inside the door. Erisu was suprised by the confidence of her words. " Hmph. You sure sound knowledgeable about this but your not actually a shinobi, so how could you possibly know anything about this?" They started down the steps. The candle's dim light seemed to swim on the dark stone walls.
Erisu's eyes brightened up intensely as he stared at his sister.She turned to him, looking extremely pissed "You went to the academy so you didnt have to go to regular school. Regardless of what your hard head thinks, there are other things in life besides being a shinobi." She walked down the steps slowly but continued speaking. Erisu followed," Anyways, it just so happened that I learned a few things and i'm really good at thinking outside the box."She stopped and looked at Erisu, " Do you want my help or not?"she hissed fiercely. Erisu looked down to her,"Of course I do! But nothing new yet, I have to get good with my current jutsus before I learn anything else."" Good, because I was just thinking the same thing. Now what would you like to work on first?"
Erisu thought about it for a minute, but continued his descent down the stairs. Finally he made up his mind. "Two things,"he started,"First, I should probably work on my Sonar Tech, but only because I'm really bad at it now. Second, How many stairs do we have to walk down? We've been walking down here for a while now."
" Ok, I'll have to set up for like an hour when we do get down there for that technique and what does it matter with the stairs?"
"Well it would help to know, since I'm gonna have to walk back up all these steps anyways."
The dread of trekking up so many stairs after training was scary.
"Dont worry, we're here already!" They both walked up to a large door, Akari opened it revealing...darkness. She walked to the corner of the west and south walls and flicked on the light switches. The training room was revealed." How did you find this room? I didnt even know it existed!""All I did was clean out this old basement room. When you left the house alot of money came to the family due to your success in the village. Mom and Dad refused to give you anything since you removed yourself from the family. I just took some of that money and cleaned this old place up. There were alot of old, dusty antiques that were never used here so I sold those too."
Erisu looked around at the large training room. The walls and ceiling were white, the wooden floor was covered in softly firm green mats. The room was lit by the lights on the ceiling.
"Stop gawking and go get ready!" Akari yelled suddenly snapping Erisu out of his stuppor. "Ready for what?" He yelled back across the room. She responded even louder, "Get ready to start your TRAINING dummy!"
Erisu awoke so suddenly, covered in a cold sweat. He breathed in hard and deep trying to calm himself down. He let his breath out through his mouth slowly, and tried to regain his focus. He glanced around his dark room and quickly it all came back to him.
