This still isn't working right

[Yuki]

Yuki was lying on his back and breathing heavily. He was near exhausted. This new jutsu was going to kill him before he actually figured it out. The noon sun was directly above him, and his eyes were closed beneath his sunglasses. "Why can't I just do this, just once, even remotely?" he hissed at himself in disappointment. On the ground beside him was a blood soaked rag from all the cuts he'd put in his finger trying to test the jutsu... it just wasn't working though....

[Takara]

Takara walked onto the field, her hair and skirt were flapping a little in the wind, she walked gracefully over to Yuki her maryjanes stopping right next to Yuki's head. She bent over him so she was staring down at his glasses. "Hey, what are you doing?" she asked smiling down at him.

[Yuki]

Yuki hadn't heard Takara approach and jumped a little when she spoke. When he noticed who it was, he laughed a little turning a little red. He put one arm over his forehead, and a small droplet of blood fell from the end of one his fingers. "Oh, hi Takara-chan." He pulled himself up off the ground and gave her a hug, kissing the top of her head. He stepped back and didn't look overly happy as he explained, wiping off his finger on the rag. "I'm trying to learn a new jutsu, and it's really not working... At all..."

[Takara]

"Oh, I thought you were trying to learn how to sew. I was going to suggest you wear a thimble," she told him teasingly. "So, what's your new jutsu, maybe I can help."

[Yuki]

Yuki took in a deep breath as he stepped back for Takara. He formed the hand seals for his kyoukan no jutsu, and screamed his silent scream at the air causing it to vapourise between them. He stepped forward so that the vapour clung to his skin. Here he formed several more hand seals, and said forcefully, "hiyoroi no jutsu!" The water from the kyoukan returned to the atmosphere slowly, and Yuki drew his kunai again. He ran it across his finger once more, in a slightly different spot, inadvertantly allowing Takara to see the dozens of cuts already on his hand from trying so much already. It bled. "Dang it!" Yuki said grabing the rag and wipping off his finger again. "See, I just can't get it right!" he said in frustration...

[Takara]

Takara looked at him still confused. "I'm not familar with this jutsu," she told him. "What exactly is it supposed to do?" she asked.

[Yuki]

Yuki slumped back to the ground and folded his arms around his knees letting the kunai fall to the ground. "I don't know if you've ever heard of it, but Gaara, from the sand, was able to form armour from the sand particals he carried with him. It was invisable, and surrounded his whole body from taijutsu attacks mainly. It uses a lot of chakra, but is very effective. I'm trying to develop my own version of that jutsu, but instead of using sand, I'm attempting to utilize ice..."

[Takara]

Takara looked impressed despite herself. "You mean you're actually trying to create a new jutsu? Wow, I'm flabbergasted."

[Yuki]

Yuki breathed out a sigh flopping down onto his back once more. "Trying is about the extent of it," he said unimpressed with himself. "I've been 'trying' for days now. And I seem to be making absolutely no progress what so ever..." He gave an unenthusiastic half smile to Takara...

[Takara]

"Okay," said Takara taking a look at the problem. "So, how it's supposed to work is you collect the moisture in the air on your body and then freeze it into a shield, right? Where exactly is it not working?" she asked sitting crosslegged next to him.

[Yuki]

Yuki shrugged. "That's the part I can't understand. I know that the technique uses a lot of chakra, and so I'm putting a lot into it. I've been trying to put more and more in, but still no difference. I think the problem, is that the ice isn't forming a tight enough meshwork over me, and the blade is just cutting around the ice I put there.... The problem is, I'm not sure how to correct that..."

[Takara]

"If there's not enough ice, maybe you just need more water," Takara suggested. "Have you tried it somewhere more humid, maybe near a lake or something like that. Or even in the fog."

[Yuki]

"Well, I'm providing the fog... but maybe you're right Takara!" Yuki jumped to his feet and moved a few steps away from where Takara sat on the ground. He again used his Kyoukan no jutsu to create the vapour, it was a little more dense this time than the last. THen he formed the hand seals for his ice armour technique. Instead of trying to cut himself again, he remained inside the disappainting fog for another few seconds before repeating the ice armour jutsu. Now he walked back over to Takara, and shrugged, not knowing if the 'double dip' would work or not... He grabbed the kunai, and ran it across his finger lightly... there was no blood. A small crack work of ice apeared over where the kuani was stretched. It wasn't enough to protect him from a serrious attack, but it was a start. Yuki smiled wide at Takara. "You are good luck aren't you?"

[Takara]

"Of course," she said with a grin. "But that's not what helped, it was my dizzying intellect," she told him she told him. She walked over and kissed him on the cheek, she squealed and jumped back, "I think it worked pretty well, you're freezing," she said, her breath came out white for just a little bit.

[Yuki]

Yuki laughed and let the ice drop off of him. "Well, it's a start. It still isn't going to protect me from a real atack. Now I have to figure out a way to make it work better. Maybe I do need a lot more water. And hopefully I won't have to keep double dipping." Yuki walked over and kissed Takara. His lips were still cold, but it wasn't ice she was feeling on her this time. "What would I do without you and that dizzying intelect of yours?" he said teasing her...
