Kira flopped down on the cool grass panting. She had forgotten how thorough Sensei's training was. Colt flopped down beside her, "Training to tough for you?" he asked, a teasing grin on his face.
"You wish."
"Come on. I can tell that you think it's hard."
"Humph."
"Looks like Tum Tum is finding it hard too." Colt said, laughing.
Kira looked at the small figure beside her and grinned "Well Sensei's training is pretty thorough."
"Hah! I knew it! I told you that- OW!"
Kira laughed as Colt swatted at her. A bee at come to rest on his cheek while he was talking and Kira had swatted at it, missing the bee but hitting Colt instead.
"Lunchtime!"
3 people sat up and made a dash for the door where Rocky and Grandpa stood holding lunch. They all grabbed a plate and sat down on the patio to eat. While they wolfed down their lunch Grandpa told them about their next task. "You 4 will split into pairs and go on a hunt. Rocky, Tum Tum; you will be one pair. Colt and Kira will be the other. Colt and Kira, your aim is to find two ninja weapons, which I have hidden for you. Rocky and Tum Tum will know where the weapons are hidden and will try to stop you two from getting them. Colt and Kira will have a set of clues to help them. You are each allowed to carry one ninja weapon and one other thing. Is that clear?"
They all nodded. "When do we start?"
"At sundown."

At 8 o'clock the four of them were waiting impatiently for Grandpa to finish setting up the hunt. Kira and Colt sat in Kira's room discussing the hunt and double checking their chosen item. Rocky and Tum Tum were in the main room, Rocky was practicing with his weapon and Tum Tum was eating.
"Ok. It's ready." Thundering down the stairs they skidded to a halt and stood in a line facing Grandpa. He was holding four sets of ninja clothes, when he saw what the four of them was wearing he raised an eyebrow. "Are you going to go on a hunt dressed like that? The colours are too bright. Green, blue, red and yellow. You will be seen too easily." He handed them the clothes he was holding. "Now go change."
The four of them scattered and came back wearing what grandpa had give them. Rocky and Tum Tum were dressed in a shade of dark green, the colour leaves look like at night. Colt and Kira were dressed in a shade of navy blue that was so dark it looked like shadow.
Grandpa nodded when we saw them. "Well are you ready?"
"You bet."
"No wait. Kira's got magic and she's better than Rocky at ninja."
"And I've got Nerlalik as my ninja weapon."
Grandpa frowned. "A ninja must use everything around him to his advantage. In a real fight against others I would tell Kira to use her magic and Nerlalik at its full power. But if Kira used her magic she would find the hidden weapons easily and Nerlalik would inflict too much damage. So tonight, Kira, you will not use any magic and use Nerlalik as you would a bow in ninja."
Kira nodded.
"And as for her being a better fighter. She does not know the land around her as well as you do Tum Tum."
Tum Tum smiled proudly and tightened his belt.
"Kira and Colt, you are to start at the patio. Go now."
Kira and Colt ran out the back door and disappeared into the night.
"Rocky and Tum Tum. You are to start in the big tree at the front."
When he had made sure they were all at their assigned places he struck a gong, signalling them to start.
