Hitoshi was shocked and stunned. His physical representation in the spiritual realm reeling from the surprise nearly toppling him forward. Unprepared as he was his bare feet splashing into the water and dropping him the nearly two-foot depth into the thick layer of silt. The glass-like surface was shattered and the entire area around the pair immediately clouded. Particulates suspended in the water almost indefinitely in the still but not stagnant water. It was too late to save the footing with either appendage. He was left knee deep trying to catch his bearings until that familiar voice caught his attention.

"Try and hit me." In a bemused monotone.

He finally understood. He saw now Kenta seated comfortably on a bundle of roots breaching the surface. The seat was almost too perfect in the way it contoured to the man's body. His posture far too relaxed to be meditative. The odd thing about the situation was what Kenta was doing in this situation. His eyes were blindfolded and both of his hands were lifted up with fingers wedged into his fingers. There was even a clip securing his nose. He had gone to great lengths to deprive himself of his senses.

He was finally putting all the dots together. Back in the real world--the waking world-- he was on the verge of sleep. That sweet spot where physical sensations were dulled and the mind started to list away. It was at that very precise moment that Kenta was able to tug on Hitoshi hard enough to bridge the gap forcefully. The timing was precise. It was something that Kenta had never done before but Hitoshi's flaky attitude made the action necessary.

Kenta wasn't the type to apologize nor would Hitoshi bother asking. Even if he could leave on his own accord there was only one easy way to end this; master the training. Otherwise, Kenta would've been relentless. A tireless, sleepless, and unstoppable automaton whose voice would torment Hitoshi to no end if he didn't at least cave at some point.

Pushing his flexibility to its max he lifted his right leg first. The foot breaching the surface of the water and the bottom of his foot coming to rest against it. The chakra leaked outward creating an unnatural cohesion giving Hitoshi a platform on which to stand. Leveraging against the temporary foothold he pushed himself until he was totally on the surface of the water. "Okay."
