As Yuki said, he gave the kid a week to learn better chakra control, and now it was time to see what Oki was able to teach him that week. Early that Saturday morning, Yuki stood on the training grounds. He wondered if the kid would even show up since they hadn't made any actual plans concerning a time of day, but with the enthusiasm he had shown, he figured Ryo would be there...
Out of boredom while he waited, Yuki would form an ice dagger, and throw it at the target, over and over, a methodic thud off of each one, or, where he repeated his targets, the shattering of ice as two daggers collided with one another...

Ryo was spending more and more time practicing in this field. He was really starting to get the hang of Taijutsu, but the little bit disappointed by how badly he felt he was doing with chakra. He had been working with the exercise Yuki had show him, but it was still pretty hard to get what he wanted to happen.
He approached Yuki feeling a bit disappointed in himself, but forgot that as he watched the other practice his technique. He trotted up with a grin. "Hey! That's still really cool~"

Yuki laughed and passed the ice dagger over to Ryo to give it a throw at whatever target he wanted. "So? How is the training going?"

Ryo turned the ice dagger over in his hands, learning the feel and weight of it. "Not so good..." He slouched forward and looked up at Yuki with an apologetic expression. "I've been practicing what you showed me last time, but Oki won't show me other stuff until I'm more 'disciplined'..." He hoped the other would still teach him.
He stared at the dagger a few more moments before tossing it at a target. It managed to hit the target, but not quite center.

"Good throw," Yuki commented. He seemed not to care of the fact that Oki wouldn't speed up Ryo's training. He'd proceed on his own accord. "I hear she wants you to try and make a few more friends amoung the students first..." Yuki didn't sound overly pleased with Oki's decisions as of late when he spoke, but it was neither here nor there... "But that's none of my concern. What have you been able to manage so far on your own then?"

Ryo smiled at the approval. "I've been working on the swirling thing," he described elioquantly. "Like this..." He closed his eyes, picturing the chakra flowing and swirling through him like Yuki first showed him. But the flow wasn't nearly as stifled and slow as it had been before. He was actually starting to show signs of improvement over the past week.

Yuki watched. "You're making improvment. Now show me what you can do with that," Yuki said, wondering if he remembered how to do the hand seals and focus the energy to his throat...

Ryo hesitated brifely, attempting to remember the signs he needed. The process of focusing the chakra in his throat was a touch stunted, but he did manage to concentrate it enough for the scream. His hand signs were a touch sloppy, but he managed to chill the air the way he had before.

Yuki ran his hand through the liquified air in front of the kid, collecting the moisture on his skin. "You didn't need any of my chakra to do it this time. I'm impressed," he said, letting the dropplets turn to ice on his skin. "Here, if you understand it better, you'll be able to use it better," Yuki took out a fairly large book labled "Decible" and handed it over. "If you know what you're manipulating, you'll be able to do more with it.
"The next thing we teach you to do is to focus the area of your scream. So you think you can build up that chakra again?"

Ryo gupled at the book and took it tentatively, holding it slightly away from himself. He was glad for the praise, but much less glad to have a big heavy book to read. He cracked it open out of morbid curiousity and shuddered at the small print. "Sooooo... I have to read this..?"
He put the heavy thing off to the side as he nodded up at Yuki, shaking off thoughts of the book. "Yeh, I can do that." He closed his eyes to concentrate on building it up again.

Yuki didn't say anything in responce to the book. Either he would or he wouldn't, and it would depend on how badly he wanted to learn the technique. Yuki couldn't instruct him in that...
"Ok, once you have it, I want you to release it in the same way, except this time, I want you to visualize a small sliver of an area to do that in in front of you... then release it...

Ryo nodded, trying not to break his concentration. "I can do that..." He struggled a bit with the small sliver of realization. He tried to make sure the image was there in his minds eye before releasing it again.

As Ryo exhaled this time, Yuki complimented the kid's jutsu with his own. If he was propperly focusing the sound waves, and visualizing it, when he opened his eyes again, there would be an ice dagger of his own invention. Sure, Yuki was supplying the freezing portion of it... but at least the shape was the kid's...

Ryo felt the other and cracked his eyes open, squeaking excitedly when he saw the shape hovering there. It was very small and of a misshapen, lumpy appearance, but it was his, all his! "I did that~!!" He crowed, glancing at Yuki before reaching out to poke at the shard.

Yuki grabbed it out of the air before it fell and smashed and handed it to the kid. "More or less," he said, not wanting to give him false hope. "You focused the sound waves, I froze it... Got a better idea of what you're doing now?"
