𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓲𝔃𝓪𝔀𝓪: (Theme -https://youtu.be/0TsE01qdy5A?list=RDdaPo6q4FXDw&t=1 ) "Come on Alastor you can do this just a little more.." In the center of the training grounds stood a lean, muscular young man of average height with a slightly tan skin tone, black eyes, and spiky black-colored hair, his outfit consist of a sleeveless, gold trimmed, black waistcoat, often left open and untucked, exposing his bare chest, white knee-length trousers, a thick black wristband on his left wrist black open-toed sandals. // Now wait before you go any deeper I know what your thinking who is this fine handsome devil? Well I'll tell you my name is Alastor Aburamea Genin in the hidden leaves with one mission and one mission alone to master. I know I know every young kid dream is to surpass some goal but mine is a bit different than others and later on you'll fine out what I mean!// In his right hand held a sharp Kunai and in front of him held three training dummies which had seemed to have battle wounds all over inside his pouch he held a few things three explosive tags, 2 smoke bombs, and one flash bomb. The ground of the training area held holes some of which held a few of Alastor bugs along with hidden in the tree's and bushes around him. Slightly bending his knee's Alastor leaped in the air tossing one of his Kuani the blade itself begun soaring through the air before making it's mark but as gravity began to take it's toll right as he was about to hit the ground in one fatal motion, he performed a hand stand catching himself before doing one set of push ups.

Yukiusagi (Jazzy): Mai had decided to continue training today. So when she had woken up she had showered and dressed. Her outfit was as it always was. A long sleeved black turtle neck and loose black shinobi pants. On her feet were black ninja boots that covered her toes and went up into the hem of the pant legs, which were un-tucked. She then put on her plain black belt which held three pouches. The first one on her left hip, held her 6 senbon and 6 wire strings. In the pouch on her right hip were here four kunai. The final pouch, attached near her lower back was empty, ready to house anything she needed. Leaving the house she headed towards the training grounds, one where few ninja went to train. As she approached the grounds she saw Alastor. Stopping for a moment she thought about leaving, but decided that she didn’t need to. The boy had been friendly-ish last time they met, and hadn’t really tried to get close to her, so she held no fear for the boy. Walking in to the training grounds, Mai waved and called out, her face holding her usual blank expression and her eyes their usual dull lifeless green color. “Hey Alastor.”

𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓲𝔃𝓪𝔀𝓪: Turning his head to a familiar voice Alastor noticed Mai coming along towards him, it's been a week since their last meeting as always Alastor wanted to push her off like everyone else but she was different. He felt as if she felt the same pain he did different way but same emotional build up, curving his leg as he sent his vicious knee into the gut of the dummy knocking it on the ground Alastor chuckled rubbing the back of his head before saying. "Well well well look who decided to show up, Pumpkin. Did you need something? Or did you wish for a front row view of my taijutsu." Smirking to himself as he soon closed the big gap between them brushing his jet black hair from his hair Alastor allowed the wind to takes it toll allowing his hair to move with the steady wind, his eyes closed feeling the sensation of the cool air against his body.//What? I'm not always mean... Okay maybe I am dont judge me!// Thinking inside his head Alastor waited for Mai response wondering if she actually came to finish out their deal.

Yukiusagi (Jazzy): Mai looked at the male, and glared at the nickname he seemed to have given her. Shaking her head at his question she replied, “I don’t need anything from you, I came here to train, and usually no one comes to this training grounds. You being here is a coincidence. And you taijutsu is of no interest to me.” She said as she watched him close the gap between them. This was the first time in a week she had seen him, and he was already getting on her nerves. Which was something that shocked the girl. She had though she lost all ability to be irritated or annoyed. Shaking herself in her head she looked up at the boy and added, “You still owe me food.”

𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓲𝔃𝓪𝔀𝓪: H eyed her as she spoke about not being interested in his taijutsu ability or his skill set in general, it burned him inside as she always got him to this boiling point but instead of wanting to kill her he wanted to just strangle her. It caused him to flick her forehead with his finger with his left hand as his right would've lightly push her shoulder. "I've been coming here since I got here just admit you came to finish what you started last time we met." Picking up the items he used his this training session he begun to pput them away near a tree walking a bit from Mai as he did so it seemed he was a bit done with today's session then hearing about how he owed her food he chuckled before moving back to her. "And you still owe me a story Pumpkin. And seeing how where the only one's here why dont you get to sharing? Or do share at all either way it's your choice after all." Alastor would've said now walking towards the Village itself if Mai would've followed behind him he would've smirk, walking the long way to the Village his hair flowing with each step he took.

Yukiusagi (Jazzy): Mai blinked when her forehead was flicked, a blush creeping in to her normally pale cheeks. Shocked at the warmth in her face, she just stood there a shocked expression on her face. “What was that? Why is my face hot? What is wrong with me, am I sick??” She thought as she composed herself and watched the male put his stuff away. She was still deep in thought so it took a couple seconds for her to register his comment and answer him. “I didn’t come to finish anything… Like I said this training ground usually isn’t used, so I came here to train alone.” Then hearing how she still owed him a story, she stiffened a bit, but nodded. A deal was a deal, and she would go through with it, even if it made her uncomfortable. Following behind him she sped up her pace so she was walking next to him. Her expressionless mask was once more in place as she started her tale. “Before I can remember, I was taken by my father and sold to this group who used children with special jutsus as assassins. My father and another teen were my masters. They trained me to use my clans jutsu and infiltrate families and other places. They would beat me and even branded me. For years I only knew the walls of a cell and the feel of blood running through my fingers. So much darkness, all cause of me. The teen liked to play games… and do t-things when my father wasn’t around. I can remember the smell of that place, and the smell of that boy. Like sour milk and mold. I can feel the whip and cut marks as if they are being made a new. The burning of the iron on my skin, and the screams I held in, only letting them free in my mind. If I made any kind of noise, the punishments were worse. I learned to hide my thought and feeling and to deal with the pain silently. But then, when I was ten I was saved. I had been told to impersonate a genin of a hidden leaf shinobi, and slit his throat on the second night. But somehow he know I wasn’t his squad mate. He tied me to a chair and made me talk. He gave me my name, the name he had given his daughter before she was killed along with his wife. He showed me kindness and light. Then he helped me kill my tormentors. He helped me save the girl I had impersonated and do a good thing. Then he went a step further, and brought me back here. Where he gave me a home and a village. A family. I can never erase my sins, but I don’t have to add to them any more either.” Finishing her story, she seemed okay and unbothered on the outside, but her hands shook ever so slightly and in her mind she was reliving those times once more.

𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓲𝔃𝓪𝔀𝓪: After she shared her story Alastor was a bit shocked to hear everything unfold he actually felt like a dick making her go through everything in her head again just to tell him. // Man why did I have to know this, her life was pretty fucked up compared ot mine it seem  was lucky to think how strong you have to bounce back after that.// Looking down to her unstable tone Alastor aimed to grab on to her shaking hand, his grip alone he tried to support and bring her back to smiling and gigles. If she allowed him to take her hand Alasor would've leaned aganist the tree's aiming to comfront her with his free hand messing with her hair as he smirked. "You may cant wash those sins away or even forget about them. But you can always let go and start new bonds and soonn burry these sins you have within here." He said poking her chest to where her heart was located, Alastor wasn't the supporting type but she just needed someone like he did they were alike if they knew it or not. "So how about we get something to eat?" He would say trying to get her hand from shaking as he held it at first it was werid but Alastor didn't care who saw them he wasn't really scared of what people think at the moment he only cared about making her feel better who knew his first friend would be just like him she just walked a differnt path than he did one he wanted to figure out more on. She intrested him as he knew he did the same for her awaiting for her answer he would say "Or you can strave Pumkin."

Yukiusagi (Jazzy): Mai was shaken when her hand was taken and flinched ever so slightly. It wasn’t that she thought he was going to hurt her, it was that her past was so close to the surface and she felt safe around this male. He annoyed and angered her, but he also didn’t push her to be more then she was. So she let him take her shaking hand and offered a weak smile in return. Listening to him talk she knew he had a point. She could make friends, grow bonds and let the light from those relationship fill her heart, burying the darkness. Mai just wasn’t sure if she deserved that. She always thought she was useless, someone only born to harbor darkness. But this boy told her she was allowed to let the light in. Allowed to stop running. Holding back some tears, tears she hadn’t cried in years, her smile reached her watery eyes, the green color becoming a beautiful forest green, full of life and emotion. Feeling his hand on her head she couldn’t help the slight scowl that graced her brows. Then she blushed once more when he touched above her heart. Once more wondering what was wrong with her or if she was sick, she nodded at his offer of food. “I am a little hungry, so let’s go eat.” Her hand stopped shaking slowly in his own, the warmth comforting her. Her first friend… Someone like her in many ways. He seemed to get why she was the way she was, and it was a new feeling. Smiling a little more she walked, letting him choose whether to keep holding her hand or to let it go.

𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓲𝔃𝓪𝔀𝓪: (http://orig06.deviantart.net/ba0a/f/2007/255/2/a/hiei___yu_yu_hakusho_by_climaxtogether.jpg)Leading her through the village Alastor and Mai would've passed rows and rows of tree's and bushes it seemed Alastor was going the wrong way or was he? He held on to her hand to lead her all she would see is Alastor's back as he walked forward with her. They soon would come across a small area which had to have less tree's and bushes it seemed someone created there own little nest in the hidden of the leaves. Letting go of Mai hand Alastor grabbed a bag which he left after all his training sessions he comes here to eat and enjoy the view while he thinks about life and other things.(http://www.knightsofhyrule.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/2014-08-08-zelda-fanart-friday-siga-ocarina-entrance-redesigns-great-deku-tree.png <-- How it looked)Within the bag Alastor pulled out two warm bowls of Ramen Alastor usually eats two but he doesn't mind switching it up for a change. Handing it towards her with a pair of chopsticks if she would take it, Alastor would flop on the ground sitting Indian style as he took the first swing at his plate. "Sp Pumpkin what's your goal?"

Yukiusagi (Jazzy): Mai followed him, noting the trees, but keeping quiet. Fear threatened to creep up on her, as she had never been lead in to the forest in less something bad was going to be done. But she repressed that fear, trusting Alastor. When she saw the nest she cocked her head to the side, wondering why it was there. He question was soon answered as the boy pulled out a bag and handed her a bowl of ramen. Taking the offered bowl and chopsticks, the girl waited for the other to start eating before she too dug in to her food. She was hungrier then she had thought, and finished her bowl quite quickly. Looking a the view a soft, almost peaceful look came over the girls face. This was all new to her, and the emotions welling up inside her were different then the fear and numbness she was used to. “Thank you” She whispered, almost to soft for the boy to hear.

𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓲𝔃𝓪𝔀𝓪: "What was that?" Alastor said hearing her soft sorry towards him it made him chuckle, Taking in another mouth full of the sweet Ramen Alastor felt as if he was in heaven right now. Ramen saved lives in his mind there was nothing more delicious than a BBQ pack of Ramen noodles. Finishing the bowl he placed his and hers in the bag before zipping it back up. "As messed up as it may sound as talented as I am, I can't seem to control myself. I have this hidden rage within me After my father died I can't seem to go back to the boy I once was." As Alastor spoke he lifted his hand as a mall beetle would've landed on his finger then moments after butterflies would've come surrounding Mai, of course, this was Alastor doing. Two would've landed on her shoulder causing Alastor to smile, " I'm not like this when that person is unleashed I feel as if I'm a monster.."

Yukiusagi (Jazzy): Mai listened to the male speak, and nodded. She watched the beetle land on the boys finger, then her eyes widened at the butterflies. When the two landed on her shoulders, she carefully mover her hand near one, let it crawl on to her own fingers, then brought it in front of her face so she could look at it closer. A soft, almost innocent smile touched her lips, giving her face a happy glow. When she was like this, one might call her pretty or beautiful. The light flittered through the trees, shining on the girls red-ish brown hair. It was obvious that the hair had been grown recently, as it wasn’t long or thick. Still looking at the butterfly, Mai spoke, her voice holding a peaceful note to it. “Only those who see themselves as monsters can relate to the people who really need a friend. You proved that. You may have anger deep inside, and it may change you when you let it out, but that does not make you a monster. That makes you human. A monster is someone who enjoys that anger, and does not hide it. They use it to hurt everyone they touch, and relish the pain they cause. You are not like that. You are not a monster."

𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓲𝔃𝓪𝔀𝓪:  //I couldn't break it to her that deep down, I do enjoy it the thought of when I'm in that drive nothing else matters I feel as if all my issues vanish. The joy of hurting people that is what makes me a monster but I feel as if hanging with Mai is really surpassing that beast within me. Only time can really tell.// Hearing her Alastor couldn't help but notice how her face reflected against the sun it was quite stunning, he raised his hand on top of her head again smirking before his hand ended under her chin. "Your such a different person around me Pumpkin, I'm starting to think your getting soft where's that blank face I like so much." He said with a chuckle. Then with his free hand he would grab a Kunai on her side pouch and toss it on top of a huge tree. "Lets see how good your Chakra control gotten since last week, how about a little race? I'll even allow you to make the simulation aka the deal breaker on what happens if you win."

Yukiusagi (Jazzy): Mai’s now clear green eye focused fully on Alastor, as his hand touched the top of her head, then moved to her chin. Something inside the girl stirred, and her heartbeat sped up. Giving the boy a smirk she replied with a simple, “You make me feel different.” Hearing he liked her black face, another blush of light pink dusted her cheeks. She really did feel different around this boy. She didn’t feel as fearful, or nervous, like she did around everyone else. He was like a soothing balm on her wounded and scar riddled heart. Gaining control of her face once more, her expressionless mask moved in place once more. Only her eyes remained expressive. Looking at the kunai she nodded, thinking a moment about what she would like in return for winning. Getting an idea she looked back at Alastor, her eyes challenging. “If I win, You have bring me back here again for another meal, but with more ramen.” She said. She then stood and coated her feet with chakra. A light lilac purple color radiated from the bottom of her feet as she took a page from the boys book and said, “Go.” Then ran up the tree. She remembered she had forgotten to ask what he wanted if he won, but figured she would accept whatever it was if he was in fact faster than her.

𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓲𝔃𝓪𝔀𝓪: "With more Ramen? I think I can do that." Alastor said to her standing as he begun to stretch out his joints within his leg, then moving to his arm it was always good to stretch before doing any type of movement. He loved to stretch only because when he didn't he always felt the burn after but the moment he went to move to his other arm Mai raced off leaving him in the dust. "Did she just..HEY!" Racing after her Alastor sped off attempting to catch up placing his hands together Alastor begun to channel the chakra within his body to conceal around his two feet as a light blueish color could now be seen surrounding his feet as he ran, if he had passed Mai the moment his foot would've hit the trunk Alastor would'vee of been off aiming to climb for dear life. His hair flowing behind him as he ran up aiming to reach the top at high speed.

Yukiusagi (Jazzy): He passed her, but she stayed right on his tail. Pushing herself, she tried to pass him, but he was too fast. Meeting him at the kunai, she pulled it from the tree, a small pout upon her lips. Turning her face to look at him she sighed then asked, “You won, so what is your stipulation for winning?” She then headed back down the tree, putting her kunai away as she waited for his answer.

𝓢𝓮𝓻𝓲𝔃𝓪𝔀𝓪: Landing down from the tree branch Alastor would've made a loud thumb hitting the ground on his two feet looking over to Mai see she was waiting for his answer seeing he won the race he should go out and spit out what he wanted. But the truth was Alastor didn't really want anything he had everything he needed right here a cool friend someone who at first was a foe and ended up as a friendly. Mai was Alastor's first friend in the village, that doesn't mean he's going to be nice to everyone he just met he was a bit more calmer. "Well, Pumpkin." Alastor would say moving up towards her looking down due to him being a few inches taller, "Just promise you'll work on your chakra control I know you can beat me, You just have to believe in yourself more stop doubting yourself Mai." Alastor said using her name for the first time ever showing how serious he was, his eyes staring down into hers as the light shined above the two Alastor hand moved to her hand flicking it giving a smile.

Yukiusagi (Jazzy): Mai looked up at the boy, realizing for the first time that he was taller than her. Looking him in his eyes she saw the honesty in his answer, getting the feeling she had just experienced her first “moment” with another person. Offering a small smile, she nodded once then blushed for the billionth time that day when he flicked her hand. Ducking her head, and turning he back to him she waved her hand, “I will beat you Alastor, for that is my will.” With that she ran from their secret place and back to her home.
