Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

Takihime stood at attention; her hands in tight fists, by her side, her feet together, back aligned perfectly with her legs, her eyes staring off into nothingness. Her father had told her one of her fellow clan members wished to speak to her, of what, she knew nothing about.

Takihime knew nothing besides the womans name, and that she was a much more experienced and stronger shinobi than Takihime was. "You can learn a lot from her", said her father. If poppa' said, she was doing it.

The opening in the clan complex was wide, about a football fields length, surrounded by the multiple houses of the different families of the Ote clan. The sand was combed perfectly; just thick and compact enough to make training a little more difficult without restricting movement, and just soft enough to cushion a hard fall. Perfect for some fun games of soccer, or volleyball as well.

Takihime stood, waiting on the bottom left edge nearest her own house, waiting for the senior kunoichi to arrive.

Earlier that week, PeiMei was approached by a fellow shinobi that worked at the academy. He told her about a young Ote member who wished to carry on her training and learn more. The Ote Jounin raised a brow at this and pondered why the hell she wasn't placed in a group yet, under someone elses guidance. The man just shruged, he came to her in hope that PeiMei would consider teaching the young genin. "I will consider it" The jounin spoke softly. As the days past, PeiMei decided to take an audience with the young genin.

So here it is, the day she meets up with a green eyed Ote. She paid her respect to the family once. Just to be nice and see for herself the young female. Hope is what she felt with in the baby. So hopefully she would feel this once more.

Entering the building she laid eyes on the awaiting Genin. PeiMei's ember eyes looked the girl up and down as she made her way to her. Being in her dog form of course, PeiMei never liked making a normal appearance. The large beast or black and white sat down on her hunches stareing at the young Ote. Her fur thick and giving a glossy appearance. PeiMei didn't speak, just stared.

Takihime still stood straight, her eyes staring into nothingness, when a pooch had approached her, stopped, and began staring at her. What a beautiful dog it was, with one of the nicest black & white coats she'd ever seen. Takihime was big on dogs. Real big on dogs, but then again, so was everybody in her clan.

She kept her focus though, but felt the eyes of the dog on her. Finally, she shifted her eyes towards the dog, matching its gaze, but not moving an inch. "Go away please, doggy, I have very important things I have to do."

Staying straight, she moved her left arm and pointed outwards, still looking at the dog. "C'mon doggy, go away now."

PeiMei found humor in this, "And what important business do you have?" PeiMei spoke with her normal soft tone. Still in her dog form, the jounin cocked her head slightly with her ears perked. She wagged her tail innocently, giving the aren't I just the most adorablest thing you have ever seen appearence.

She found the young girl to be pleasing, at least so far.

Takihime's heart skipped a beat when she heard the dog speak. She wasn't even sure if she'd heard correctly. I must've had my knees locked. No blood in my head.

She bobbed up and down, bending her knees, allowing the blood to flow back in and around her body. She shook her arms a bit, and then decided to address the dog again.

She moved her hands, aiming to pat the dog on top of the head. "Doggy, you gotta' go. We can play after if you remember me."

She would then aim to slap the dog softly on the side of its head, and pointed in the same direction. "Go, she could be coming any minute."

Typical response and was well expected. The jounin dodged the gesture by pulling back her head and than raised a brow. "You obviously don't know much about me young one." PeiMei than stood up and shook her body as if she was soaked in water and was trying to dry off. A few moments later in the place of the dog stood the human form of the Jounin.

She stretched a bit, locking her hands and pulling her arms above her head. "So I hear you are looking to do some training of sorts." The Jounin than placed her hands on the back of her hips and leaned back, poping her lower back in the process. Once she finished stretching the Shinobi crossed her arms and went back to observing the young female. Being only 5'4" PeiMei was short for a female in the village, but her hour glass figure and long charcol black hair gave her the sexy appearance any girl wanted. Her stomach revealing abs from working out and her dog ears twitching hear and there as she picked up different sounds.
She was wearing a her ninja suit. Black spandex shorts that barely touch the knee, with a fish net top under her mid drift ninja vest.

As the human formerly known as a dog appeared before her, Takihime stepped back, watching this transformation in awe. How could see be so stupid? As if she couldn't recognize the ever so famous eyes of the Ote clan. She was a little irked at her father for a second, thinking that information like this was rather pertinent.

When the elder ninja addressed her, she popped back to attention, standing straight up again, but her eyes scanned the woman from head to toe. She was gorgeous; from her face to her figure. Takihime couldn't help but smile. This was her kinda' woman, it was no wonder her father had set up an appointment with her. This was what Takihime pictured herself as in about 5 to 6 years.

"Yes PeiMei-senpai, um, my father told me I should speak with you. I wasn't told much, but I do know that there was a lot I could learn from you Peimei-senpai, and I'd be honored if you'd be willing to teach me anything you know."

Takihime was determined, but she couldn't hide the mix of nerves and anxiety, which surely a more experienced Ote member could see through her. She gulped, hoping that she hadn't given the woman a poor first impression.

The Jounin couldn't help but smile at the young Ote. She never been asked to be a mentor before and she isn't quite sure if she would ever get use to it. She continued to stare down at the Genin than turned to walk away. "Lets get something to eat" She muttered as she went down the steps slowly. Walking with poise and pride, her ears twitching as a slight breeze brushed past them.

After a few moments of walking, she came upon the local diner. Lifting the flap and walking in she turned her head slightly to see if the Genin followed.

Vitamin · Post by **Vitamin** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 6:29 pm

Takihime smiled at her new mentor, nodding in affirmation at the thought of grabbing some lunch. She quickly put on her sandals, doing a sort of skip to catch up to her new-found mentor. She walked down the steps, and out the Ote compound.

She let her mind wander for a bit. She had so many questions! What elemental affinity did the elder Ote possess? What was she skilled in? How the hell did she turn into a dog?!? I guess I'll learn all this in due time. She knew she'd get the chance to ask questions. For now, she'd just ride the wave.

Finally, they reached their destination, as Takihime followed the kunoichi into the diner, and would only take a seat once she saw her mentor do so.

PeiMei sat down at a table, her ears twitching with all the commotion of a typical diner. A waitress appeared next to the table to take the two shinobi's order. PeiMei not waiting for her knewly found companion to order went a head and ordered them both herbal green tea, 2 rice balls each with a side of soup. The waitress bowed in a typical matter and went off to fetch their meal.

"So, I am sure you have alot of questions. So lets start now, I am PeiMei I use Raiton mostly and I do have the ability to use Doton. I specialise in a variety of jutsu, such as Tai, Iijutsu, and a mixture of NinTai."

The waitress quickly returned with the tea and disapeared once again. PeiMei took up her small cup and sipped from it. Her ember eyes stareing at the young genin, "I know you use water and your tai based. I also hear that you learned a few of our clan empathising jutsu as well." The Jounin than placed her cup down slowly and stretched for a moment.

"So Takihime, tell me what your goals are as a shinobi of this village?"

Vitamin · Post by **Vitamin** » Sun Sep 30, 2012 10:18 am

Takihime sat down opposite of the woman. She cared little for the food, giving no objection to the food that was ordered for her. When the tea came, she gripped the cup with both hands, sipping on it, her eyes never leaving the older kunoichi.

She used Raiton! Just like her father, and the element Takihime yearned to master once she'd mastered her own. She felt a slight hint of embarrassment. It was about a month of 2 ago that she'd learned of her Suiton affinity, but had neglected to learn to control or manipulate it in any way, shape or form. Most of the kids her age already had a few elemental jutsu under their belts. Truth be told, she wished she'd seen the paper wrinkle, not drip soaking wet.

Then she was asked a question. "What? Uh, goals?" She used this to buy herself some thinking time. Goals? Aspirations... She was so young she'd never really given much thought to it. The only thing she knew was that she wanted to be like her family members; strong, fast, and skilled. Her words were an almost exact transcript from her mind.

"I want to be strong, fast, and skilled. Like Mommy, and Daddy." She looked up at the elder kunoichi, her physique an indication to her physical state. "And like you, PeiMei-senpai. I want to be the greatest fighter this village-no, world, has ever seen!". She slammed her cup of tea on the table with enthusiasm, the liquid splashing upwards and falling gracefully back into the cup, picturing her name being chanted during some sort of village meeting. She smiled at her new-found mentor.

Juvianna · Post by **Juvianna** » Mon Oct 01, 2012 12:37 pm

Like me?

PeiMei kept her emotions hidden, but she never once heard that someone wanted to be like her. That is some flattery, she couldn't help but feel good about it. She never once thought she was that great at all. She just did alot of hardship is all.

PeiMei took a sip of her tea as she found the young females spirit to be wonderful. "I will help ya with what ever you wanna do. I will do my best to help you reach your goals." She spoke smoothly as their rice balls and soup was placed infront of them.

"So where would you like to start?"

Vitamin · Post by **Vitamin** » Tue Oct 02, 2012 12:37 pm

Takihime thought for a second, fiddling with her cup of tea while doing so. What would she like to learn? She'd love to learn some elemental jutsu, unfortunately, her and her elder clan member were incompatible in that aspect. Was there anything that Takihime was capable of learning, at least at this time?

She finally let it out with excitement. "I'd love to learn and master our clan techniques, if you'd be willing to teach me. I'm sure you know many more than I do, PeiMei-senpai."

Juvianna · Post by **Juvianna** » Tue Oct 02, 2012 12:45 pm

Ah boosting your stats using other emotions. This was something that PeiMei really didn't show much of an interest of. She did how ever know some of the jutsu and she knows of the others also.

"Very well, what do you know so far?" The ote jounin said as she took a sip of soup. The soup was thick and delicious, PeiMei's ears twitched as the yummy soup went down her throat.

"Oh and what is this I hear you have a male shinobi following you around?" PeiMei was not much for gossip, but being a woman, she was curious.

Vitamin · Post by **Vitamin** » Wed Oct 03, 2012 4:52 pm

[[OOC: The whole thing with her and Sakki is still on the DL, nobody knows about it, not just yet anyway.]]

Takihime averted her eyes again. "Um... Just the basics really... Bond of Emotion, Rage... Broken Bonds. Bond of Fighters." She smiled when she said this. Perhaps one of her favorite abilities, yet he'd never gotten the opportunity to use it in combat. She hadn't gotten the chance to use any of her techniques in combat.

She gulped down her soup, almost trying to speed up the process of them going. She wanted to train, and they were just burning daylight. She stayed patient, however, as to not rub the older Kunoichi the wrong way, and just sat tightly in her chair.

Juvianna · Post by **Juvianna** » Thu Oct 04, 2012 6:32 am

Peimei sat quietly as she started to finish her soup, she than picked up a rice ball as stared at it for a few seconds before throwing it at the young genin, aiming at her chest. The jounin has a unique teaching style, and she figured might as well start now. Wanting to test a theory out the Jounin threw the second riceball aiming at the same spot.

She than stood up without saying a word and paying for the meals, she headed out the door. Going back to the compound, her hands folded behind her back.

Vitamin · Post by **Vitamin** » Thu Oct 04, 2012 7:33 am

Takihime reflexively smacked the first rice ball away, not letting it hit her chest. She was very confused, almost wondering if it was an accident that her mentor had flung a piece of food at her chest. She was about to ask, when she looked up and clearly saw the older kunoichi throw a second rice ball at her.

his one she let let flush on her chest, looking down at it, and then looking directly back up at her mentor. "PeiMei-senpai, I don't-"

Her words were cut short when she stood up and stormed out of the shop. Confused, Takihime looked down at the table, picking up the rice ball, and setting it neatly on the plate. She tried to take in what just happened for a split second. She couldn't quite seem to figure it out.

She whipped out her wallet, placing a rather hefty wad of cash on the table, and looked at the waiter that had served them. "Thank you!", she said with a smile, and exited the restaurant, running to catch up to her new mentor.

Juvianna · Post by **Juvianna** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 6:45 pm

"Alright, what kind of fighting style you said you had?" Obviously PeiMei wasn't a hundred percent paying close attention. She lowered her right hand to her back pocket and pulled out her gloves with bladed tips. The jounin pondered putting them on, perhaps the young one wasn't exactly ready for that kind of training yet. Still, it would be fun; well for her. No no she really shouldn't, fuck it.

As the Jounin walked back to the compound with the little squire following she started to put on her gloves. The blades glinting as the sunlight touched them, oh what a remarkible sight. PeiMei's ember eyes looked back at the Genin following. And with in a blink of an eye she slashed quickly at the Young genin. Aiming low for the mid section.

Vitamin · Post by **Vitamin** » Sun Oct 14, 2012 1:48 pm

"Gouken Ryuu!". She opened her palm and punched it with her other hand. "The toughest fighting style there is."

She continued walking with PeiMei, spying her carefully as she put on a bladed glove. What an interesting weapon. She stopped for a second, wondering what she intended to do with the glove. This training session might be a lot more intense than she thought. "Pei-mei sen-"

Her words were cut-off as the elder kunoichi attacked her, swinging at her body. The small distance that Takihime had inadvertently built between her and the kunoichi was her savior, as she stepped backwards in astonishment, falling hard on her butt. Her heartbeat doubled, as sweat and adrenaline coursed within and around her body. She'd just narrowly escaped what surely would be a fatal blow.

"PeiMei-senpai, please I'm not ready for this kind of training yet!" She slid back about a foot or 2, giving her what was hopefully enough time to react should she decide to mount another attack on the young genin.

Juvianna · Post by **Juvianna** » Tue Oct 16, 2012 2:56 am

PeiMei held herself for a moment, before letting out a small giggle. Her tense muscles loosened up as she walked up to her Genin. Removing the right glove, she held out a her bare hand to help the young ote up. "You always have to be on your toes young one. No matter who is around, Always be ready for something." As PeiMei spoke, her voice was soft and caring.

The jounin Ote than reached down and started to dust off the genin. Her ears twitching from the slight breeze flowing through the village. The sun being out made it a beautiful day. "You were gona ask me something?"

Vitamin · Post by **Vitamin** » Sun Oct 21, 2012 8:29 am

Takihime stood back on her feet, her heart still pounding, her hands shaking rather violently out of fear. Is this what it would be like when her life was actually threatened? Would she react like such a coward? Her fear converted itself into anger, not at her sensei, but at herself.

The anger, in turn, shifted into courage. The color that had been flushed out of her skin began to return, her heartbeat just as fast, but more for adrenaline than fear. Then it clicked. Was my reaction to this being gauged? Was I supposed to experience this kind of fear?

She raised her head high, whatever sense of pride she had returning, staring at the elder kunoichi with a newfound sense of determination. "Never again."

She adjusted her Kumo headband, punching her fists together, and shaking the remnants of the rush of emotion off. "PeiMei-senpai, please teach me. Anything. I never want to fall like a coward again."

Juvianna · Post by **Juvianna** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 8:25 am

PeiMei gave a small grin as she saw a very interesting spark from her young compaignion. She placed her hand on top of her head and gave a slight pat, before turning away from the genin. "You were fine. No Judgement."

As she placed her gloves away, a group of men walked past the two females. An annoyed look came across PeiMei's face. "Lustful pricks" she muttered under her breath as she felt the lust pour from the group. "You are lucky young one. Very lucky."

Vitamin · Post by **Vitamin** » Thu Oct 25, 2012 9:38 am

The looks of lust had gone unnoticed by the young genin. She was curious to know why the older woman had said this, but she just nodded softly in agreement, deciding it was perhaps best to not question her new sensei. She was here to learn, and she'd accept almost anything at face value. There was negatives and positives to this, but for the time being, Takihime decided it was the best move.

She stood proper, not a word being said, he eyes wide with anticipation. She was anxious, awaiting any instruction that would be given from her new mentor.

Juvianna · Post by **Juvianna** » Fri Oct 26, 2012 5:59 am

PeiMei continued to glare at the group of men until they rounded the corner. The ote female always got such looks because of her body and long hair. Something about a female with curves and animals ears always caught the fancy of some weirdo. None of the normal men would look twice at her for they believe it sort of crossed the lines of beastiality which is frowned upon.

Her ember eyes looked back down at the young ote and just stared. Why the hell are you looking at me like that? She thought to herself, so deciding to continue to stare back for a few moments. "What?" she finally asked confused of the situation. Was PeiMei suppose to perform a trick or something. Oh yea, training ... hmmm

As her round dark ears twitched about the jounin considered many ways to her training. But she wanted to learn more empathy jutsu. That wasn't exactly PeiMei's strong suit. She meerly uses her empathy for entarigations to feel if the person is lying or not.

The Ote female than turned and headed towards the Ote's training grounds. A good work out for the genin would be good for now.

Vitamin · Post by **Vitamin** » Sun Oct 28, 2012 9:50 am

Takihime jumped out of astonishment when she was asked a question. "I..uh...I don't know.. Like I just...". Her words slipped out of her mouth like drool, the young kunoichi fumbling to try to keep them contained. Finally, the elder ninja turned and began walking towards the training grounds once again. Takihime was unsure what to think. Today had been kinda' all over the place, she was beginning to wonder if training was even a good idea at this point.

Never the less, this was her fathers suggestion, and what her father said would be a good idea, she would certainly do. Maybe one day she'd have the wisdom, or the confidence, to make such decisions on her own. Until then, she would follow the advice of shinobi much greater than her.

With a few seconds of hesitation, she followed PeiMei to the training grounds, keeping a fairly decent distance this time, should she decide to strike abruptly again.

Juvianna · Post by **Juvianna** » Wed Nov 14, 2012 6:50 pm

PeiMei kept a solid and keen look upon her. She didn't want the young sapling to catch wind that she has no idea what the heck she is doing. She never really trained anyone. She only taught basic academy techniques that their original instructors where already teaching. She mainly was just support help, now this Genin wants to learn from her.

The jounin's ember eyes looked around and had no idea what she was gonna do or teach. Finally she decided to go and sit on a soft grassy patch, cross legged. Clearing her mind and thoughts she started to meditate. Heck she didn't know what she was gonna teach her.

"Go work out or something" she muttered as she continued to meditate. Maybe clearing her mind will help PeiMei come up with some ways of teaching.
