Randy flinched in fear at Kiara's roar. She really was going to hurt him! Randy curled his knees up to his chest. Even if he used the ninja mask he wouldn't stand a chance against her!
Kiara sensing his fear stopped. She approached her apprentice. "Ninja, what's wrong?"
"Y-you're roaring at me.." He said shakily.
Kiara rolled her eyes. "For training. What, did you think I was going to hurt you?"
"No, no of course not, why would you think that!" Randy lied hurriedly.
"I'm trying to teach you that it's important to look menacing to your opponent sometimes." Kiara explained. "But, when you're faced with it you have to be more menacing."
She walked back to the other side of the bathroom. "Now, lets try again."
She let out a roar. Randy gave her an angry look trying to look intimidating.
"I'm not going to find a civilian scary." She stated.
"Then what the Juice am I suppo- Oh." Randy said. He took out the mask and put it on. Kiara got on her haunches again and roared.
Randy got out his sword and thrusted it in Kiara's face. The lioness quickly ducked, not getting a scratch on her. "That was...good, ninja."
"Th-" Before he could continue, Kiara roared again. Randy put the sword out again. Kiara once again ducked.
Then she swiped her paw at him. Randy dodged and accidentally fell in the bathtub.
"Now..if this was a real fight and that was a cliff, what would of happened?" Kiara asked.
"I would of used my scarf to grab a ledge." Randy said.
"And if there was no ledge?" Kiara asked.
"I'd uh..." He frowned.
"Right..." Kiara said. She helped him out of the tub. "Come on. Lets try some sparring."
She head butted her head against Randy's chest. He fell back into the bathtub. He lunged and grabbed Kiara in a headlock. Kiara tilted her body so Randy fell down her back and onto the floor.
Kiara pinned him. She let out a roar. Randy was only startled for a second, knowing Kiara wouldn't cause real harm to him. He kicked her chest so she'd move a bit. However once he got out from under her, he was cornered by the toilet.
He panicked and jumped to the top of the toilet. However his teacher put her front paws on the toilet lid and was inching her way towards her student. Randy grabbed onto the counter that the sink was connected to and hoisted himself up onto it. The lioness followed his actions.
She once again had him cornered by the wall.
"If this was a real fight, you'd be dead by now, you know that,right?" Kiara asked.
Randy attempted to flip over her, but she tackled him midair and pinned him on the ground. Randy's eyes were wide.
He took out his sword and attempted to hit Kiara. She managed to duck out of the way. She was 800 years of ninja knowledge and Randy was what she still considered a fairly new ninja. It didn't help that he didn't pay attention to her lessons a lot of the time. He had a lot to improve on.
"Will I ever even fight enemies as strong as you?" Randy asked.
"Perhaps." Kiara said. "Perhaps not. But, physical fighting is important training, ninja. You know that."
She used her mouth to take Randy's mask off. Then she got off. "Training will work in this form."
Randy got up. "So, now what?"
"Well, I'd like to talk to your friend, Howard." Kiara said.
Randy raised a quizzical eyebrow. He wasn't sure what Kiara wanted with his best friend. He wasn't sure if it would be good or bad. What if she wanted to kill him so he wouldn't accidentally tell the secret?! Randy frowned and looked nervous. "I...I don't think that's such a good idea Kiara..."
"What, you think I'm going to hurt him?"
"Well...you two don't exactly...like each other."
"I know, and I want to change that. Come on." Kiara said.
Randy hesitated and then followed his teacher.
