"About?" Fukurou asked, not understanding the idiom right away, at least until he saw the water stream... Fukurou crossed his forearms infront of himself, and the shield grew to the size of his body, partly wrapping around to his sides as well, and his eyes shut tight...
He did manage to block the attack, but regardless, it still knocked him backwards several feet and to the ground. Unfortunately, it looked as if this was again, mostly reflex rather than control...

Oki dropped her concentration and walked over to help pull Fukurou to his feet.
"Not bad at all!"

Fukurou excpeted the help and stood up, the flames having returned to thin bands around his wrists, but they emitted no actual heat it seemed. "Really?" he asked a little unsure. "I don't think that was me... I think it was reflex, Ms. Oki..."

"Some of it undoubtedly was, especially after I attacked you like that. But you did all of the ground work for it. You already had the flame under control, and that was all you."

Fukurou looked at his wrists, in awe of the fact that they were even there at all. "You should teach at the academy, Ms. Oki," he said, "even Ms. Otomeken could not instruct me to achive this level of control..."

"I've just been appointed a position provisionally, actually," Oki said, blushing. "Iruka had spoken to the Hokage,a nd she seemed to agree with him."

Fukurou beamed, and as he did so, the flame bands grew significantly around his wrists. "That's fantastic Ms. Oki!" he said, and then, out of embarassment, covered his mouth, banishing the flames...

Oki laughed. "I was pretty pleased with it, too. Eventually, I'm hoping it becomes permanent but I'll make the best of it for now. I don't want to let Iruka down, since this was his idea."

Fukurou recomposed himself and gave a brief bow. "With your skills, Ms. Oki, you will dissappoint no one," he said, smiling brilliantly at her. "Would you... Would you grace me with further lessons Ms. Oki?" he asked, perhaps a little awkwardly...

"Any time," Oki said warmly. "What more do you want me to try and teach you?"

Fukurou scratched his head nervously. "Perhaps more information, well, perhaps I'm not ready for that Ms. Oki. But, perhaps more training of the same nature?"

Oki quirked an eyebrow. "You want me to attack you again?"

Fukurou looked confussed. "Is that... An unorthadox method?" he asked, worried he was asking Oki to do something she wouldn't do with her students normally...

"No, not at all if that's what you want. I just don't want to go too fast for you. Get ready," Oki warned.

Fukurou stepped away and nodded. He closed his eyes and concentrated in the way that Oki taught him. It took quite a while, but after about thirty seconds, the thin bands of fire formed again - he still didn't realize it was there though, and he continued to concentrate..
