Thunder struck the land, the tremors caused by the sound reverberated throughout the muddy field. Two figures stood facing one another, lightning setting the stage as these shadows darted at each other. A flash of lightning and the crash of the thunder hid what followed, the cry of a pained roar was dulled by the patter of the rain striking the ground…
Months before….
The sun shown down on the bustling village people greeted each other as if they had always known each other. The carpenters built their buildings, the merchant sold their wares, and the young rushed towards the school, built strong and tall, like a fortress. Their the children learned math, physics, teamwork, and above all else, the way of the ninja.
In a tree near the entrance to the school, a figure watched as the teens and preteens dashed into the school. His red eyes tracking all of their movements, slitted pupils diagnosing everything that he viewed, the green scaly tail emerged from his rear swayed back and forth, tongue licking his fangs in eager delight. Waiting….watching…
"hey Ryun!!" a shout was yelled behind the stalking figuring, causing him to jump and slip, falling and possibly hitting every single branch on the way down. At the point where the ground and his face connected, the children took no notice of the twitching mass of flesh and kept walking into the building. He sat up, a dazed look and goofy smile on his face. A smaller figure leapt from the tree gracefully, landing on the ground with both feet, using her hands to help brace impact. Her agile figure and delicate frame were easily complimented by the blue tipped tail covered in white fur, and matching cat ears atop her long flowing red hair. She giggled at the sight of the mass on the ground.
"Ryun, I told you, you'll never be able to sneak up on me" she said smiling at him.
"Hey, I almost got you once before Neka!" he said trying to stick up for himself. She shook her head.
"You fell of the academy roof" she said sighing. He groaned.
"Ok, it wasn't the most graceful landing, but I did make you jump!" he grinned. "therefore I win!!" she stared at him, her eye slightly twitching. She tossed a container she was holding towards him. Catching it, he opened the container as his eyes widened and became as bright as the sun. "Your ramen smells as delicious as always! It definitely makes it work getting hit on the head daily." She smiled at him, blushing slightly.
"Thanks Ryry." She looked down at his watch. "I got to go, today's my graduation exam…" she looked down. Ryun walked up to her and smiled
"You'll do fine, just stay calm and show them what your made off." He pushed her towards the door. "Hurry! Don't be late because of me!" She walked through the door, waving as he waved back to her. As soon as he lost sight of her, he jumped up, making it to the top of the school and started to chow down on the gift package, thinking about her the entire time. Nervous thoughts raced through his head. ' today is the day I get my first squad.' he wondered if he would get Neka as a student. He liked her, and she obviously knew, but he often held in his feelings for her, not wanting to outcast her because of their four year age difference, or worse, lose her forever. He finished his ramen and decided to spy on the exams, nothing better to do at the moment. Taking of his shirt, his backless undershirt shown the muscles on his slightly tanned skin, the black fabric tightly against his skin. He groaned for a moment, as large green wings emerged from his back. He rubbed his hands through his messy brown hair and stared downwards towards the exam room, perching up on the highest window. He wasn't supposed to be selective, but he still hoped he would have her on his team…
