HarleeVanity: Once again, Hitomi would walk the same path to where her reading rock would be. It was perhaps the most perfect place in her world to be. The quiet of the woods. Away from the village. Just her. Lately, she had enjoyed the company of a young boy and she hoped that she'd see him come by. Just a glance would be nice. If he came to see her, that would just make her day. She had started becoming rather fond of him. But would he understand what she was trying to convey if she told him?

RavynGrimm: Juping over the fence that kept people out of the Fourty Fourth Training grounds, Tsu took off at a run with his companion by his side. He'd goen feral the other night and didn't remember to much, but he was use to it and wasn't bothered by it to much. He was eager to meet up with his team and work on some group exercises, feeling the need to grow his skills with these people. he wasnt happy about working with them, but it was a neccessary evil. Humans, so petty and worthless on one hand, yet so inspiring and full of hope. It confused the ever loving hell out of him. Catching sight her the Hyuuga female he had been hanging out with lately he waved, " Yooo~ Hi-toooo-miii! WE ARE HUNGRYYYY!!!" Hoshi joined in, barking wildly as if in agreeance.

HarleeVanity: The sound of the running came to her ears first before she heard the voice and bark of the ones she hoped to see. She put her book down and slid off the rock to grin back at them and dash off into the woods. She knew that she would never be able to out run them, but she was tired of working and training. At her top speed that she knew she could keep up for a long while ( 2.0 ) she dodged the trees and looked behind her with a smile and giggle while her eyes landed on him.

RavynGrimm: She wanted to play chase? That was fine. He picked up speed as he channeled chakra to his limbs, his nails growing into claws in the process. he and Hoshi would vanish into the underbrush and track her from below..or would they? AFter a few moments of chasing they'd dart up the trunk of the nearest tree and wait for ehr to reveal herself. Dangling above the branch on which the boy and his hound perched dangled what appeared to be a mango. Did mangos grow around here? He was distracted, and Hoshi was occuping him self with eating a bug.

HarleeVanity: With a soft giggle, she had seen the mango and couldn't help but shake her head. She then took to the trees. Leaping from one branch to the other as silently as she possibly could. She had even evened out her breathing so that it was slow, silent and steady. Then, she had jumped into one more branch to the tree that they were in. Slipping as close to them as she dared, she'd leap from the branch toward Tsuki. Her hands outstretched to take hold of his shoulders if he didn't move. Either way she would be hitting the ground below them, either with him in her arms or on her own.

RavynGrimm: Distracted by the mango, he was easily taken down by the hyuuga, slamming into the ground only to have Hoshi land on top of them both. " Oof! Nice..take..daown..Lady..Hitomi" He wheezed as he tried to catch his breath, impressed at her tackle. " Nice hit. A very nice hit. HKeep training like that and I might have to take you hunting with us sometime~"

HarleeVanity: Hitomi smiled looking at him. Slowly, she was learning his world and the way he looked at things. However, she wouldn't tell him that. Before she sat up, she looked to him a moment and gave him a slight nuzzle. Then taking Hoshi off her, she placed him to the side and moved off of Tsuki. Sitting cross legged, she looked to him and smiled more. "How many times do I have to tell you, Tsuki-chan.. no 'lady'.. Hitomi's fine. 'Lady' is something that I hear people call my mother." She said with a giggle.

RavynGrimm: At the nuzzle he grinned and hshook his head quickly. " Heh, yer alright, Hitomi, for a human." He was genuine in his words, holding no disain upon saying that word for the first time since his mother's death. " I'll keep the Lady outta yer title, aight? Now then, I'm..I need some help. I need to train, but me and hoshi are getting bored with our usual games. We need something new, something fresh! Ya wanna try and run a race with us?" He was excited about having a friend and talking a mile a minute. And all the while hoshi just sat on his head.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">HarleeVanity: She looked to him and smiled warmly at the grin and looked to the ground as he had told her that she was alright for a human. She understood that he had lived in the forest on his own, but... he was still human too. It was going to take her a long time to figure out this puzzle named Tsukikiba Inuzuka and even longer to get him to understand her world once more. She looked to him and continued to smile as she listened to him talk fast. With a nod, she looked up to him. "Alright. I'm trying to figure out how I am going to beat you. You run on all fours.. I run on two..The odds aren't exactly in my favor.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">RavynGrimm: AT her dilema her merely gave a growling laugh. " Thats a good point. Alright, how abouuut weeee...hmm. We could always practice our chakra control, eh?" keeping his cheshire grin and rising to his feet, Tsukikiba offered a hand to Hitomi to help her up. While he did this Hoshitsume moved to her side to offer his own assistance. "So, how do you like to do yur chakra control practice? I like to practice with these.." pulling back his long coat he revealed the twin claws he carried every  where. " I'm been practicing with them. I'm getting closer to ebing able to channel wind type chakra into it. I just need to fine tune it. I tried using it in the test with sensei..but it didn't work so well... Anaaanywaaayyy.." he gave er a very canine tilt of the head to the right and his grin turned lopsided. He was in many ways just as much an animal as his companion was. To bad he didn't even realize it himself.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">HarleeVanity: Hitomi smiled and took the hand from Tsukikiba and gave Hoshi a good scratch behind the ear as a thanks. Looking to Tsuki, she had raised her hand to do the same but placed it back down. She felt that it would have been rude if she just reached up and scratched behind Tsuki's ear. Thinking about his question, she looked to him. "I just focus on my chakra. I've never used it with a weapon before as for me, my chakra is my weapon mostly." She placed her hands in front of her and twined her fingers together trying to keep the soft blush from coming over her cheeks.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">RavynGrimm: Watching her hand come up, his grin some how widened as she brought her hand up, and he could't hide the deflated look when she put it back down leaving him unbfufilled. he should known that he was gunna get passed up for it. he didn't blame her though. Just one more thing that seperated her from him. "Hmm..shakra as a weapon..do you think maybe you could teach me that? Maybe  little bit?" His eyes were sparkling with excitement at the prospect of learning chakra control from one of the masters of the art. Well, her clan was known for producing masters. he had yet to see about this feale.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">RavynGrimm: female*

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">HarleeVanity: Her eyes saw the look that came across his face when she had placed her hand back down. No. She didn't want to see that on his face. Especially being caused by her. Once she heard his questions, she gently brought her hand up once more and would then slide it in to his mane of hair. Gently, she would begin to scratch behind his ear as she had done Hoshi. Her eyes looked to him as she did so and her voice was soft. "I guess that it comes down to the idea of how much control and focus you have on your own chakra. Much of this comes natural to me but still needs training to bring it to the surface the way it should be." Gently, she would move her hand down the side of his neck truly as if he were a dog. She felt her cheeks blush darkly and she looked to the ground  while she continued to scratch him.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">RavynGrimm: At the scratching his eyes went alf-lidded and a low rumbling bubbled up from his throat as he relaxed into the attentions. he went as far as to tilt his head further to give her greater access. " Yessss~ Thats feels awesome Lady Hi-..I mean Hitomi! You must be great with animals.." he trailed off, smile beaming and Hoshi snickering at the fact that he and his 'brother' were so much alike. "I see though..comes natural. Well..I've seen you fight. Do you channel it towards your finger tips or something? Cuz when you spin it looks like you use your palms..I'm not sure if thats your gentle fist or just how you do things for yourself? I don't really have that refined skill that civilized people tend to cultivate.." never once did a dark tone enter his voice as he spoke. He did, however sound rather drowzy and content. Talk about giving a dog a bone!" Hoshi, having laughed himself out had fallen back asleep atop Tsuki's head and was snoreing gently. "So..whatcha wanna do?"

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">HarleeVanity: Moving her hand from him, she continued to look to the ground as she tried to hide the blushing of her cheeks in her long black hair. "I.. um. when I spin.. it's  a constantly flow from all chakra points. It takes an emence amount of control and focus to do that." She looked to him when he said he didn't have that refind skill.. yet every day she looked for him. She smiled a bit and pushed it aside. it bothered her but there was nothing she could do about it. Its how he saw himself and the village. She had shrugged her shoulders."I'm not exactly sure, but you had said you needed to train.. so it looks like that is what we are doing."

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">RavynGrimm : With Hoshi moving to squirm to the ground from where he was, the pup began focusing chakra to his fron paws and began digging. " I swear..the instant he found out he had Earth natured Chakra at his disposal he began digging holes everywhere. This guy is now wanting me to have sensei try and teach him earth style jutsu..and I've got wind affinity..so this is kinda a cluster frack..oh well." Flashing the Hyuuga a thumbs upand cukling, he returned her shrug, " So, I've got a few ideas for the day..I found a scroll in the library talking about how summonig works..we could go for a run..we could spar? C'mooon, whatcha wanna do?" He was bouncing on his heels at this point in a low crouch as he stared down into the growing hole Hoshi was making. " Man..I'm hungry..I'm always friggin hungry..."

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">HarleeVanity: She smiled and watched him. Slightly she looked down to the ground feeling her face flush once more and her body temperature change with it. Her eyes looked to him once more as he spoke and with a slender hand, she pushed her hair from her face and back behind her ear. Hearing him speak about the scroll, her mind went to the hair that she was given. "I think we can go to the library. Then after, I'll make lunch for us all?" She smiled to both Tsuki and a now dirty Hoshi. She took a bit of a shuttering breath and let it out slowly trying to rid her face of the blush that came across it.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">RavynGrimm : At her suggestion he shook his head. He'd offered choices, but of course che chose the civilized one. It had been so long since he and Hoshi had cut loose and had some fun. He was really hoping that she might get in on their dog-boy games. She did mention making lunch, and that was almost enough to get him to follow her to the library. It would have been, if his animal urges hadn't been acting up. All day he'd been restless unease. Upon seeing this female, he knew why. He'd been watching her grow in skill and power lately and was feeling left behind. The saying that came to mind was 'feeling long in the tooth' as though he were becoming obsolete as the other genin raced towards their destinies. " Lady Hitomi of the Hyuuga House. I challenge you, here and now. I need to see your power, your heart and soul, and the only language I'm fluent in is battle. So please, would you mind giving me a lesson?" His grin turned animaliztic, showing far more tooth than it had previously. Even the air about him took on a different tone, growing heavier, or seeming to, as this change overtook the Inuzuka. Even his nin-ken was concerned, emerging from his twelfth hole in five minutes. "I need to know I'm not worthless.." muttered the feral boy as he dropped low to the ground, the four legs stance already claiming his form. He loved this feeling, the oneness with the animal kingdom. One day he'd take on the form of a beast. One day. With his companion moving to sit atop his head, the Inuzuka sat on his haunches after his transformation was complete, holding the seal for Tiger and trianing his shining, bestial hues on her form. If she was scared of this sudden aggression, so be it. he was a wild animal, and as such it should be expected that he'd do the unexpected. His soul raged now. he was done being weak. And on top of that, if he were to work with this female, he had to learn how she moved. That way he could avoid getting under foot in a real combat scenario.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">HarleeVanity: His words had caught her off guard when he gave her a formal challenge. Her heart began to race and her mouth became dry. He was the one person she never wished to hurt and now he was challenging her. How many times had she hurt someone else that she didn’t mean to? The night mares from killing the boy still haunted her every night as she slept and now the boy that she was rather fond of in more then one way wanted her to fight him. However, the one thing that he said that she could take into solice in was the idea that he wanted to see her power, her heart and her soul. There were so many things that he would have been able to see if he had only asked. However, this was going to have to be done. Her eyes staying on him, she began going through the 14 seals and then upon the final one, she spoke out loud with force, “Byakugan!” His body became nothing but channels of chakra for her to see and she was also able to see 360 degrees around her. Sliding into the stance for the hyuga style, her open palms were facing him. “Once you find this out… will you be happy?” She waited for him to come. Her hands at the ready.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">RavynGrimm : He watched as she silently accepted his challenge. He even let her perform her seals and activate her eyes, giving her an unsual advantage unseen in the shinobi woirld. An enemy would normally attack during those fourteen hand seals, but Tsukikiba and Hoshitsume merely committed the pattern to memory. As she said the word 'Byakugan' a puff of smoke engulfed man and wolf, billowing about them and so laced with chakra that it would conceal those within for a few seconds from the dojutsu, just long enough for the wolf-boys to stand side by side. Before the smoke vanished a voice called out, " Askin Tsuki here if he is gunna be happy is like asking a snake if it wants to sleep in the sand. Of course the answer is yes, but beware the..- the voice was cut of with a sharp yelp then replaced by, " Happy? I'll be happy if your fists reveal the same purity that your words do. Please, show me the truth of what you are!" Both beastly shinobi launched from the smoke, one leaping into the air as if launched while the other one dashed straight for the girl. Their mimicry was perfection, right down to the chakra network replication. Would she be able to see through Hoshi's metamorphosis? The Male dashing for her snapped his left hand towards her as he reached the two foot mark, a small black pellet leaving the clawed digits of his left hand while simultaneously the airborne male's path took him behind the female's head. It was at this point that he threw a kunai with a paper bomb attached to it at a ninety degree angle. He was aiming for the back of her left knee, the kunai coated in a small layer of chakra that dissipated the instant it left his hand. 'So much for flow..' was his immediate thought as he went into a series of hand seals. The Ground-bound Tsuki would stop just after throwing said smoke bomb and twist his body to the right as he did so, dragging his left foot through the dirt and kicking the fine granules towards Hitmoi causing a secondary distraction in the form of a sand-screen were his smoke bomb not to go off. Whether she hit it and it exploded or it hit the ground, it's purpose would be served.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">HarleeVanity: The smoke bomb and the sand did not hinder the Hyuga girl’s vision as she watched his every movement. Being able to see the boy’s attack from behind her, she brought forth chakra to the palms of her hands and dashed quickly towards the boy that was before her. She knew that he would be able to smell her and more than likely hear her, however with the sand and the smoke, he wouldn’t be able to see. But he didn’t have to. She didn’t hold anything back. He wished to see her heart, her soul, she would show him. With every hit that she made, she knew she’d be closer to tears as she would begin to force harm on the boy she cared about. Going towards the boy in front of her, she’d suddenly immerge from the ‘cloud’ with her left palm aimed toward the center of his chest while with two extended fingers on her right hand would be aimed at six points on his upper left shoulder.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">RavynGrimm: She'd fallen for it! Just as the female' moved to land the first two fingered blow, Hoshi dropped the ninjutsu effect and poofed back into his pup form, leaning back as this happened so that he had a perfect shot. A shot with what? Why, with a damn near acidic stream a urine directed at the Hyuuga's lovely violet eyes, timed so that the stream began just as the blow ruffled his fur, missing by less than an inch. While this was going on the airborne Tsuki, the real one, triggered the jutsu he began previously and switched places with the tag that was attached to the kunai, placing him right behind Hitomi as she over extended herself in her attack, She wouldn't impact with a body, meaning her rebound would take just a fraction of a second longer, giving him a chance to take advantage of her positioning. He caught the scent of urine just as he touched ground, showing the speed and near perfection of the duo's timing. The tag hadn't even begun to flutter down as he mimiced her two finger jab, aiming the strike from his left hand at her elbow of the arm she used to attack Hoshi. He was targeting the nerve cluster right behind it, the Golgi apparatus. If the blow connected his claws would rip through the clothing and tender flesh, potentially, and damage the tissue. If he succeeded the female would lose the ability to push and pull the muscles of her arm until it healed. Even if it was only a glancing blow it could hinder the proper functioning of the limb for several minutes. It was a trick Hoshi had shown him to use on fleeing animals, and he was eager to see the effect on a human. His right foot snapped forward as pulled back from the jabbed, aimed to slam his heel into the back of her left knee to cause her to buckle, though not enough force was applied to blow out the joint. His right hand moved with his foot, aiming to grab her by her waistline and heave her up and over his head where her body would collide with the tag descending upon them, causing it to detonate. Tsuki knew of her special eyes, and he also knew that the only time Hoshi got the drop on her was from behind and above when he leapt from the trees. It was in this very spot that the tag lurked, though whether or not any of his theories were true had yet to be discovered. FOr all he knew he was about to be force fed his own speaker weapons.
