"Good to see you again, Ikihane," Oki smiled.

Yuki laughed. "Don't mind him, Ikihane, he's affraid of flying," Yuki teased.
"Well, looks like I have my own work cut out for me. I should head over into another field to work on my summons..." He looked at Ikihane shaking his head. "What happens if I summon you and you're already here?" he asked more to make a point than to get answered...

Suoh finally pushed himself to his feet. If there were going to be more birds, this was the last place he wanted to be! At least he had an agreement with one of the owls at Oki's...
"Ready to roll, chick?"

Oki snickered. "It's actually just birds," Oki explained to Ikihane. "He's still upset that he woke up to a face full of Kitsi this morning.
"And if Yuki doesn't mind," Oki hesitated, "I'd really like to stay and watch the summoning practice. Maybe I can pick up a few pointers."

Yuki hesitated. "You're... going to summon cats... Aren't you?" he said, creeped out by that the way Suoh seemed to be creeped out by birds.
"Yes." Ikihane chimed in his two cents worth. "And it is lucky for her that she should, elsewise, you may have not seen her return to the leaf." His attention was back on Oki before Yuki could respond. "You are most welcome to join Yuki in his training, Oki."

"Have fun, kids," Suoh said, waving them off. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do. Oki, I'm using your hot water."

"No cats, I promise," Oki said, crossing her heart. "I just want to watch. I've only ever been able to do it once, and I'm not really sure how I managed to do it then, so I have a lot to learn."
She smiled again at Ikihane, despite being reminded of the circumstances of her successful sommon. "I really appreciate this."

Ikihane was looking at Yuki sternly. "Fine," Yuki said shaking his head. "Summon the cats if you want to... They still weird me out though," he said and started walking off to a dryer location, waving bye to Suoh as he went...
"Do you know the hand seals?" Yuki asked as they walked to a different area of the training ground...

"There had better be hot water when I get home!" Oki called after Suoh before following Yuki and Ikihane.
"Yes," she nodded. "I understand the basic principles of the technique, it's just the execution I have a problem with. I haven't had this much trouble with a technique since I was in the academy," she added, rubbing the back of her neck nervously.

Yuki surveyed a good size area and stopped to face Oki. What is it that you're having the trouble with? It does take A LOT of chakra, is that it?" Yuki knew it was his problem when he had started learning the technique...

"Probably," Oki admitted grudgingly.

Yuki nodded. It was the most common part. "The amount of chakra, and knowledge of your summon will trigger the result you get. If I use very little chakra," Yuki formed the hand seals, bit his thumb, and put it to the ground. When he picked up his hands from the smoke, there was a tiny baby hawk, probably not even two weeks old. "That is the chakra for, say a long distance kiwarimi. The tiny hawk vanished. "If I use the chakra for..." Yuki thought, this was where it got complicated. "Probably your water dragons... Then you MIGHT get someone like Ikihane... And it gets more complex from there..."

Oki tilted her head to one side. "More complex how?"

Ikihane nodded to Yuki. "Well... Complex like Koikihane, or, even his grandfather, whom I've only been able to summon once. Or..." Yuki took a few steps back and Ikihane flew from his hand and landed at Oki's feet, watching... "This is what I've been working on..."
Yuki drew in several breathes, completely focusing himself... He formed the seals, and tore a deep gash in his thumb and slammed his hand into the ground. There was a huge puff of smoke, and when it cleared, the entire tree behind Yuki contained hawks, looking down at Oki as if awaiting a command. There had to be at least twenty of them...
Yuki shook his head and turned around to make sure he'd done it...

Oki's eyes widened in wonder at the hawks. She had no idea that was even possible with this technique.
"Yuki, that's amazing!"
