Rin sat on the bean bag, still lost in deep meditation. Abruptly she awoke, opening her senses to reality. Sitting next to her on a identical pink bean bag was Aura, also meditating. She seemed serenely lost in her mind, but then began to grimace as if focusing on something that wasn't quite correct. Her face changed as she realized what it was, and she spoke without opening her eyes.
"Why did you stop?" She asked her apprentice.
Rin wasn't surprised by her sensei and she responded with a cynical tone.
"I was satisfied with the progress I made in my meditation."
Aura looked pleased. She opened her eyes and smiled at the young ninja. Rin wouldn't dare lie to her, so Aura took it as the truth.
"Good. Then that means your ready to learn another?"
In truth Rin wanted to take a break, but if Aura was willing to teach it now she would definitely learn it.
"If your thirsty I took the liberty of getting you some refreshments."
Aura said, before Rin could even answer when she sensed her hesitation. She gestured over to the west wall and Rin looked, seeing a small wooden table with a silver pitcher of water and two glass cups.
"Let's do it."
The two girls sat facing each other, about two meters of space in between them. Each was meditating fiercely, alone in their own worlds. Rin was in the dojo again, this time she was fighting against Aura whom she had deemed to be the biggest challenge. The two had both been fighting for a small time and they both wore the evidence of the battle. Rin had a few thin lines slashed into her arm and and shoulder, and Aura was mostly unscathed except for the single slash to her right cheek. Rin had been aiming for her neck and Aura was lucky to have escaped with only a flesh wound to the face. As a result Aura had grown incensed at the fact the young girl had struck her face.
The mental copy of her sensei began taunting Rin.
"You can't win. Just give up."
"Daddy didn't raise a quitter." Rin responded, repeating something her father had said a few times. Aura snorted and giggled mockingly at the small girl.
"Please, your Daddy let me train you because you were weak. I've been holding back this whole time. You should give up before this gets serious.
Doubt was cast into the young girl's mind for a moment. This was the first time her resolve had been tested by her meditations. She cast the doubt aside and squared up with her sensei.
"Never give up, never surrender." She muttered under her breath, audible only to her own ears. It was a another quote of her father's.
Before the meditation had begun Aura had explained the in's and out's of another technique that Rin had yet to use. It had become increasingly difficult to even get a chance to attack in the first place and their positioning hadn't been right for her to try without leaving herself open for an attack. She had to force an opening and before the thought finished crossing her mind she sprung towards her sensei. It was too easy for Aura to block the first few attacks and then switch to the offensive. She had Rin backing away, trying to dodge her long reach.
Rin took the first few strikes, timing their one, two, three pattern. She lashed out with her katana, timed her sensei's strike perfectly and parried it to the right. Aura stumbled in the same direction, her momentum driving her in the direction of her powerful slash. Rin pivoted strongly on one foot, sliding and bringing her sword around with her full momentum. The katana slid home, piercing deep into her sensei's chest while Rin stood with her back turned to her.
"Die now, and come back stronger so you can beat me sensei." Rin whispered. She turned the sword 180 degrees and then harshly yanked it free of the wound. Aura fell in a heap without a single sound.
Meanwhile Aura was in her own meditation fighting ten copies of Rin and winning. She needed to make sure her apprentice couldn't surpass her and what better way than to be prepared against such an attack? A hill of dead girls, all identical to Rin, were left in a neat, bloody pile behind her. She had to be well prepared, and she grinned happily at the thought. She ran into their oncoming attack with nothing but bloodlust on her mind.
