Author's Note:
Wow, I got a review, and a favorite? Awesome, thanks for that! That was my pleasant surprise of the day when I logged in.
And as a thanks, I got the third chapter out for you! (And for my awesome friend!)
Enjoy!

"So, how have you been, my fellow ninja?" He said to me. Skyler was training to be in the Kinkou order with me when I was young. He ended up not being able to, because of the trials they required him to endure.

"I've been just fine Skyler, and yourself?" I asked, looking over to him as we continued to walk.

"Just fine! I just got a new sword, I'll show you it if you don't mind stopping by my place."

"Alright, sounds good." I said.

"Hey Kennen, remember how we'd always race eachother when we were littler?"

"Yeah, why?"

"BECAUSE I'M GONNA WIN THIS TIME!" Skyler yelled as he darted off ahead of me. He was surprisingly quick, but still not quick enough.

"Oh no you don't Skyler!" I yelled after him. I guess it's cheating, but I used my lightning rush to catch up to him. He's a ninja anyway, so I guess its not much cheating.

"Hey, no fair!" He yelled as he noticed me running next to him.

"Hehe, you didn't state any rules!" I laughed as I rushed past him, jumping over Blitzcrank, who was helping Heimerdinger carry some parts. I looked back to see where he was, and I saw him far off in the distance trying to catch up. I felt pretty good, nothing's changed since we were younger, I'm still the fastest.

Suddenly, I glanced to my left and saw him appear from a puff of smoke, running on the wall!

"What th-" I began, I stopped when he disappeared again. I looked back ahead, sliding to my right to avoid a siege minion pulling a cart of items behind him. I noticed another poof, and there was Skyler right infront of me, smoke blowing back into my face.

"Heh, I learned a few new tricks. Try to keep up!" He yelled. Suddenly, there was a blast of magic energy and he flew forward, faster than even I could go. I used my lightning rush again to give myself a boost of speed.

"Hey, Tristana!" I yelled, from afar. "QUICK, shoot me a cannonball!"

"WHAT? Are you crazy Kennen?" She yelled back, me nearly passing her up.

"DO IT!" I yelled back, Suddenly she fired her buster shot straight down the hallway. I grabbed hold of it just as it flew past me. Its amazing momentum and weight easily dragged me forward with it. Random champions, summoners, minions and all dodged to safety. I saw Skyler shortly ahead, and as I approached him I readied myself to jump off the cannonball. I looked forward and noticed the institute entrance just a few hundred feet ahead. I swiftly jumped off the cannonball and began rolling uncontrollably, but I caught myself right before I hit the door.

Tristana's cannonball hit the wall directly above me, exploding into an enormous ball of fire. The institute's defensive shield kicked in, and completely nullified any damages that would have been inflicted on the grounds. Right as I caught myself I saw Skyler slide to a stop right next to me.

"Wow, you're crazy Kennen." He said, bending over panting.

"Oh, you know I couldn't let you win just because you can teleport. Hehe." I laughed.

Skyler reached out his paw to help me up, I took it and he pulled me to a stand. I brushed myself off and looked at him.

"Hey, you almost beat me though, that's impressive!" I said, shaking his hand.

"Yeah, I've gotten a little bit faster since the last time we raced. Haha." He said, ruffling the back of his hair with his other hand.

"Shall we get going, then?" I asked, motioning towards the door.

"Lets." He said, opening the door for me. "After you, champion!"

"Heh, a gentleman, how sweet." I chuckled.

I walked through the door and he followed. The large door to the institute closed behind us with a commanding thud, and I looked out toward the seemingly endless road. There institute is surrounded by a thick forest. I heard that there are some clearings in the forest with a nice view of the sky.

"Well, how far's your house?" I asked him.

"Take my hand, Kennen." He said, looking at me.

"Uhm, why?" I replied.

"Just do it." He said, reaching his hand out to me.

I looked at him and took his hand.

"ZXII!"He shouted, with a masterful tone. Instantly we vanished into a puff of smoke. I felt completely weightless, it was as if I was being summoned onto the fields of justice, I just didn't feel anything at all. About two seconds later we re-appeared in Bandle City, right in the neighborhood I grew up in.

"Takes you back, doesn't it, Kennen?" He said, looking out toward our favorite play spot.

"Yeah, it does." I said. "Wait, do you still live here?"

"No, I have my own place deep in the forest, but not too far from here." He replied. "Well, lets go then!" He said as he pulled me toward the trees. I looked around a little bit as he dragged me along. I hadn't been in this part of Bandle City since I was little. Well, to a lot of standards, I still am little, I'm only 17. But, I mean since I was around 5. I glanced over and I saw Teemo's small house flat off in the distance, along with the market.

As we entered the forest, I felt the crunch of leaves below my feet, and I heard a bird off in the distance. The forest had grown a lot thicker since the last time I was here, what once were little ferns are now big and mature bushes, and a lot of the open areas there used to be is now covered in lavish greenery. It was quite spectacular.
We continued on, Skyler being rather quiet, compared to his usual self. It gave me time to really appreciate my surroundings.

"Skyler, hey, wait." I said, as I stopped in my tracks, slightly throwing Skyler off balance.

"What is it? We're almost there!"

"I want to stop at that river down there, okay?" I said, tugging slightly on his arm.

"Alright I guess." He said, following me down the slope that led down to the river bank.

Suddenly, I seemed to be taken back to a time when I was a young yordle, running along this river bank, throwing training shurikens at trees, honing my skills. I remember Skyler being there with me, with his toy sword, perfecting his technique. He always used to tackle me into the water when I was meditating, it didn't bother me much though.
I also remembered, that I had buried something, a charm that I had found one day while I was walking around bandle city. I marked the spot with two rose seeds.

"Have you seen a rosebush around here, Skyler?" I asked, turning to him. He was examining a stone on the ground.

"Yeah, theres one right over there, on the hill. Why?" He said, pointing toward the hill, right next to a tree.

I looked at the rosebush that was on the hill. Slowly I bent down, feeling the pedals of the roses. I cut a rose off from its root with one of my shurikens and handed it to Skyler.

"For you." I smiled.

"Awhh, thanks Kennen.." He blushed as he took the flower.

I proceded to uproot a portion of the rosebush, and, lo and behold, there lie the charm I had put there, clumsily attached to a rope necklace. I picked it up and held it in my hand for a moment, before walking over to Skyler.

"I can't believe it! The charm is still here! I buried it there years ago, and its still here!" I exclaimed. I was very delighted to see the charm again. Maybe now that I'm older I can find out exactly what it is.

"Wow, cool!" He said, grabbing the back of my hand and pulling it toward him, to get a better look. "What's the charm of?"

"That's a good question, my friend." I said, as I placed the charm in my pocket.

"Now, we were headed off to your place, then?"

"Yeah, let's go." He said, grabbing my hand, and again pulling me ahead with him.

I again started getting lost in the wonders of the woods, so majestic and vast. I could stare at the woods all day. Suddenly, we came to a stop.

"Here we are, Kennen. My little house here." He said, motioning his hand towards his house.

"It's not that little, if you ask me." I said.

And little it wasn't! He had a nicely sized house, probably able to house 3 people inside. He pulled me towards the door and promptly unlocked it. The inside of his house was quite nice, decorated with various ninja items and antiques. I saw his kitchen over to my left, and a ladder, presumably leading to the attic, or a second floor. He lead me to a room that had the word "Armory" engraved on a plate of metal.

He guided me to a drawer that was opposite the door. When he opened it, I noticed a neatly folded ninja garb, next to an elegantly engraved sheathed sword. It was a good bit wider than a regular katana, and, of course, yordle sized. He unsheathed it, revealing a gracefully crafted, curved blade, with a jewel at the base of the blade. He wielded it in his hand, in his backhand stance, as normal. But, this sword looked perfect in this stance, unlike most. The blade seemed to be one with the shape of his arm. A small ring hung from the bottom of the handle.

"Wow, that's really nice, Skyler! Where'd you get it?" I said, examining the sword.

"Do you remember Paka?" He said. "He's a blacksmith now, and offered to craft me a custom sword. I think it really turned out nice."

"Yeah, it did. I might have him make me some shurikens next time I talk to him."

"Anyway, are you hungry, Kennen? I can make you something if you'd like." He said, as he placed his sword back into its original position.

"No thank you, Skyler. I just had something at the cafe. I wouldn't mind a drink, though." I said, as we walked out of his armory. I sat on a nearby chair as he walked into the kitchen.

"Anything you would prefer?" He asked from the kitchen.

"No, water's fine, Skyler."

"Okay."

I heard him rummaging around in his kitchen for a few moments, before returning with a vase and a bottle of water. It was just now that I realized he still had the rose that I had handed him before. He handed me the bottle of water before placing the rose in the vase, that was also filled with water.

"Thanks for the flower, Kennen. It's nice." He said, sitting down across from me.

"Your welcome, and thanks for the water." I replied, taking a sip from the bottle.

"So," Skyler started. He took off his hood before running hand through his hair. "how's the life of a champion?" He asked.

"Busy and painful, hahah." I laughed. "I normally have about 5 matches a week, but, this week I'm not scheduled for anything, so I'm free."

"Painful? I thought that you guys weren't able to feel any pain on the fields of justice?"

"Yeah, its exactly the same as outside of the institute, only, when you die, your soul remains unharmed, and your body reanimated shortly after."

"Wow, that's pretty cool, but it must suck at the same time, constantly experiencing death like that." He replied.

'If he thinks that's bad, just WAIT until I tell him about getting eaten by Cho'gath, or Fizz's shark..'

"Well, yeah. It does sometimes, but, it's worth it. This way the city-states can settle their pointless disputes without the loss of life."

"Yeah, that's really good." He said, as he shifted positions in his chair. "So, tell me, Kennen. Who do you hate the most?"

I sat my water bottle down on the table, took down my hood, looked Skyler in the eye, and said:

"Let me tell you about a certain champion..."

"..a champion named.."

"...Rengar."

Well, that's it for part 3. Reviews and feedback are really appreciated!
