Title: Branches
"Okay, are you ready, Asuma?" The budding master of genjutsu asked as she turned to face him. She was smiling as she readied herself to fight. Their team was training today, and Kurenai had asked him to train with her. She had a new technique she wanted to try out.
He stood on the other side of the training field and smiled back at her. He took out his blades, twirled them, and then gripped them in his hands as he concentrated chakra through them. "Ready." He replied.
Kurenai made the first move as she ran towards him. She threw a kunai at him which he knocked away with his blades. He then thrust his blades at her, but she jumped back to avoid it. He watched as she made hand signs, and he rushed to attack her again. However, she disappeared in a cloud of petals. He scanned the area looking for her but found nothing. He changed into a defensive position, knowing that an attack was about to happen. He then heard a cracking noise.
A tree began to grow from the ground behind him. Its branches burst out and grabbed him. He squirmed as the tree branches wrapped around him, limiting his movement. 'What now? How can I get out?' He wondered as he struggled. She then appeared from inside the trunk of the tree. She raised her first and was about to knock him out.
He looked up at her and quick thinking saved him. He turned his head and stretched his neck. He pressed his lips against hers. Kurenai was so shocked that she dropped her fist and broke her focus. When she broke her focus, the genjutsu broke too. He opened his eyes and saw a blushing Kurenai touch her lips. He became embarrassed too and lowered his head. "Sorry." He mumbled.
"It's alright." She replied as she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. "It was…nice."
He turned even redder when he heard that. "Uh, um." He stuttered. She giggled when she noticed how embarrassed he was. He raised his head to look at her, and they just stared at each other. He didn't know what else to say.
They both turned when they heard a cough from their teammate, Raido. "I've got to go." Asuma said as he headed off, trying to look cool.
She smiled as she watched him go.
