Kumori decide to start with the first kata he ever learned, he has never made a mistake performing this so he beleives if he loses himself in the kata his insides would settle down.
I was hoping that with Yuki here and us training again that this would go away, but it is just getting worse, see the graceful way Rujuuru performed the kata. Get a hold of yourself man, it is only a girl.
It quickly becomes apparent to both Yuki and Rujuuru, that Kumori is striggleing with something, Yuki relises this because of the blatent mistakes, where this is a new kata for Rujuuru she notices because of the lack of grace in Kumori's movements. As he continues through the routine he just seemed to keep getting worse.
Waht is going on with me, i know this kata like the back of my hand, i have never had problems performing it. I performed it perfect the first time i ever attempted it. Ok just stop take a deep breath and try again.
Kumori stops for an instant and takes a deep breath then tries to continue. This would have worked except that when he took a deep breath all he took in was the sent of Rujuuru. So on his second attempt at performing the kata, he did as bad if not worse then the first time.

Rujuuru gave Kumori an odd look, and studied the emotion in his movements. After a while it became so very evidant what was bothering him that she had to giggle. She stopped looking at him for a brief moment, and watched Yuki. He was quite good as well, Rujuuru wasn't very good at it. She was just great with calculating the perfect amount of body movement, and poise. Again, with math, her favorite subject, but not always her best. She didn't really have anything to say at the moment, but she kept focus on Kumori ever so often, a small smile on her pale and rounded face.

"Kumori, you seem a little flush, are you feeling ok? And your Kata has gone to crap, I watched you do one of the Heiann katas not long ago, and it was perfect. I can't believe your tekioko would be this poor after seeing that..."

"it isn't, I do not know what is going on." Kumori replies. Get it together or he is going to make a fool of you in front of her. When that thought crossed his mind, something inside changed, he is not sure what , but he no longer feels uncomfortable. Now all he wants to do is to make it impossible for Yuki to make it look like he is a fool. Why am i thinking like this Yuki is a friend, he would not try to make me look like a fool, unless he is doing to me what i did to him earlier...
Kumori smiles and says, "let me try that again"
Kumori enters the starting possition of the kata. he then starts to run through it, and upon finishing this kata he moves right into a more advanced kata, and then a more advanced one after that, never missing a beat or making a mistake in the kata. As he moves through the moves of the kata he is continuing to pick up speed.
He finally stops, and says, "there thats better, feels more like me again." nodding he walks between his two companions performing there kata's, he sees no mistakes in Yuki's, but notices acouple in Rujuuru's technique, and he helps her to correct the movement.

Rujuuru smiled, it was common nature for a man to become more dominant around another man, especially around a person of the opposite sex. Two guys and a girl, isn't always the best situation. She followed direction as she was told, however. Taking in the words that Kumori was saying to her. She grinned in an excited manner.
Thanks Alot!!!

Yuki stood watching his companions kata. This was always his favorite part of training back home. But after seeing what was going on with Kumori, he remembered seeing something similar happen with his brother about a year ago... her name was Kiako. From this, Yuki could put 2 and 2 together.
The memory of his older brother and the woman who would become the same as an older sister to him, Kiako, brought another tear to Yuki's eye, it seemed to be a day for these, but he put the memory out of his mind, at least for now...
Knowing what was going on, he hadn't the heart to show Kumori the correct moves to the heiann kata. Sure, all of his moves flowed together, and his movements were almost perfect... the only flaw was that he was leaving almost half of the moves out, completely forgoten. But Rujuuru was new to this, and she would not be able to pick up on it if it wasn't pointed out, so Yuki attempted to copy the faults of Kumori, just to make him look better... but this would come at a price... at the propper time... Yuki already had a prank in store for later and he smiled again.

"Hey Yuki, what katas do you know?" Kumori asks "If you know any that i don't why don't you show us, so that we can learn a little bit more."
It is always a good time to learn new techniques. and where he has more advanced training then me he should be able to show me a few things.

Rujuuru went wide eyed, it was as if she could see the words coming out of Kumori's mouth. She reached forward and tried to grab them. To everyone else around them it looked as if she was toying with the air, but she could actually see the sound.
Interesting...
Rujuuru seemed to be holding something now, as if it were string, between her index and middle finger. She pulled her hand backwards like a sling shot, and pointed her fingers her two closed fingers at Yuki, she opened the two finger creating a gap, and almost instantaneously Yuki was pushed backward and off his feet. Kumori's words had actually forced a blow. It was by no means a strong blow, but it was a blow none the less. Rujuuru had attacked with sound.
Oh my God, I'm SO sorry...
Rujuuru just stood there gaping for a while after that... She was in awe, she didn't know if she had done that or not, it was all so confusing for her. Had she really just manipulated sound?

Yuki's mouth dropped as he realed from the blow. As a ninja whose main attack was sound based, he instantly knew what had happened. For a moment, he just stood there, staring at Rujuuru.
He shook his head. "Did...you....just...how?" He walked over towards her slowly, but not threatening in any way, more interested then anything, and amazed. "If you could do that with his words... what could you do with my kyoukan?"
Slowly, giving Rujuuru pleanty of time to be able to react, he formed the four hand seals of his jutsu, "Kyoukan no jutsu!" a low monotone sound came from the screaming technique strait for her. This was almost as little chakra as Yuki was able to focus into an attack, at the very most all it would do would be to ripple her hair or seem like a strong breeze on her clothes. It couldn't hurt in any way, but still, the intrigue was there, what could she do with it?

Kumori looked from one to the other, not sure how to react to what Rujuuru had just done to his friend. Then seeing that Yuki was intriged more then anything else decided to step back and see exactly what Rujuuru is capable of.

Rujuuru started to panic never having been in this situation before, and she shut her eyes and put her hands palms forward in front of her. The attack seemed to bounce off of her palms and back at Yuki. She hadn't really tried to do anything with it, but by instinct she protected herself. She had never before been tested or attacked and honestly it sort of scared her.

Yuki's pony tail rippled in his own wind... This was amazing to him, no one had ever been able to block his kyoukan before. "Um.... Rujuuru, are you from around here?" Yuki had a bit of a suspission that she was either from the hidden sand (which scared the hell out of him) or the hidden sound, a place that could be just as bad...

Noticing how tense Rujuuru has gotten, and knowing Yukis backround, figures that this could turn out bad, but he is not sure who he will side with, he has his new friend Yuki on one side who has put his trust in him not to let people know about his past, and then he has this woman that he just met, and has him all befuddled. He hopes that this does not turn bad and if it does he will just have to try to make peace between his 2 new friends. But for now he knows that he has to stay out of this, but he does take a step closer to Rujuuru, in hopes that his presence will calm her down.

Rujuuru slinked backwards beside Kumori and scooted into him for protection. Placing her hand on his arm, she stepped to the side so that she was behind him, her stomach pressed against his back. She blushed as she did so, but she was pretty much hiding from Yuki.
Could you please not do that again?

Yuki's eyes were very focused, the eyes of shinobi, as he lowered his sunglasses down his nose to look over top of them. He could understand her horor... it was like the first time Yuki himself had ever realized the power of his own blood limit and disappeared, he would try to go easy on her, but she still hadn't answered his question...
"Right, at least not until you're ready for it. But it seems to me that you are more than ready for it now, but that's neither here nor there. For now, where did you say you were from?"
