Orpheus, Vidya and Sekai wandered around the various ninja training grounds in search of something to do. "I wonder where they all are?" Sekai voiced his thoughts.
Orpheus thought for a moment. "I think we'll have better luck finding them if we split up. I'll go in this direction."
Vidya pointed back to Konoha. "I'll go in this direction." The two wandered off in their respective directions leaving Sekai behind. "I think I'll go in… This direction!" And he marched off, completely confident that it was the right direction.
-10 minutes later-
With Orpheus
"Well, this is as far as I can go."
With Vidya
"Ha! I knew they would have something alcoholic in this village!"
With Sekai
"Gold! No wait that's a squirrel."
-Some Time Later-
Sekai wandered around. He knew his directional technique was perfect! He could hear voices across the clearing where he was walking. He listened harder. "Think we can wait until he's finished before we jump him?" One voice said. Another came "Think we can get Sensei to stop making that stupid pose?" He looked out into the clearing. Ami was sitting down and sketching four ninja. He looked closer at the ninja. They looked back. He shouted out to Ami; "hi Ami! What are you doing?" Ami looked up.
"Sketching these ninja. I'm almost finished. That ones Kakashi, That one's Naruto, that one's Sakura, and that ones Sasuke." Sekai looked at the ninja. Suddenly Naruto pointed at him. "That's another one of them Sensei!"
Kakashi stopped making a pose and looked at him. "Sure is. You guys can get him. Consider it… Extra training." Naruto looked at Ami who had finished sketching by now and had put the book away. "I'll take that one!" he stated confidently. Ami looked at Naruto and blinked. "What?" He was very confused now.
"We have orders for the Hokage to capture you!" Naruto stated. Sekai grinned.
"Do you think you can take him Ami?"
"If I have to, but can't we just sort our problems out like rational beings?" Naruto grinned. "If you surrender, then we won't have to fight! That is, if you're scared!" Sekai smiled. "I like this kid. Don't kill him Ami." Naruto grew angry at this.
"I'll take you on!" he shouted confidently. Ami sighed and stood up. "Very well then." Ami stretched his arms out to the sides and breathed deeply. He remembered something his old teacher had said when he challenged him. "Today's subject is rhythm. The driving force that holds our lives together. The beat."
