Oh hay der readers. Another chapter, hooray! I'd really love to name the chapters, but I'm not that imaginative so they'll stay the same for the time being c:
Title: Sparks Will Fly

Chapter Rating: T for swears.
Warnings: Light cursing; my inability to get my own characters' personalities correct; badly written fight scene.
Disclamer: I do not own any of the characters stated below, except for Ame and Kenta. They're all mine, fufufufufu.
Ame is woken up nine hours prior to her slumber as a large strike of thunder hits just outside of the village. She sits up with a jolt, small film of sweat upon her skin from yet another nightmare. She glances at the clock and sees it's almost seven; would Kenta want to train in the storm?
Probably. She thinks with a scowl, knowing how much her Sensei loves to torture her. She gets ready for the new day and pulls on a different set of clothes in strong contrast to the ones before. This time she wears her rain gear; a black long sleeve with fitting black spandex shorts that reach to the knee. She pulls on her rain poncho and grabs a banana, eating it quickly and tossing the peel away. Taking the more reasonable route out of the building, she locks up her door and secures the necklace hidden under her shirt once more.
At least it's not windy, and it's not raining too badly. She thinks optimistically, getting to the grounds quickly due to no distractions.
"So I see you do enjoy standing in the rain doing absolutely nothing." Ame snidely remarks when she finds Kenta, hands on his hips, facing the direction she came from.
"I just got here. I knew you'd be here, Ame." he says with a grin, tapping his temple. She curses her memory and realizes he probably used his dumb blood line trait.
She sighs and hangs the poncho on a branch to dry, going into a heavily forested area so the rain doesn't get to them. The ground area is large enough for them to train in. They had found this spot many months ago during one nasty storm that came out of no where. Now the pair use it whenever they see fit.
"I think we should work on your Taijutsu and accuracy today. No Ninjutsu for a while little one." He places a finger on her nose and she simply watches him. Inside she was jumping around happily; Ame loves to work on Taijutsu but never shows it.
Kenta leaves his spot for a moment, coming back with a slightly wet log. "Lock this into place, would ya princess?" Ame decided adding Kiba to her hit list wouldn't be a bad thing, considering he has a habit of spreading her nickname around.
She simply places her hands on the ground and creates an inch deep hole. Kenta drops the log in, fitting it perfectly into the earth. She squeezes her palms and the earth tightens around the log. Not even a lightning bolt would be able to get the wood out.
"I want you to work on your right leg today to even out the power. You can occasionally use your left, but I want you to focus on balancing your power between left and right sides. Starting with some simple low kicks and moving to higher up cuts and spins. You think you can do that while I run off?" he leans on the log and smiles at Ame.
"Where are you going?" she asks, slightly concerned for her Sensei's safety. Not that she'd admit it, though…
"Let's just say there is something promising happening at this moment that I would like to see." he smirks, and without her permission, disappears. She lets out a low sigh and works on the moves Kenta had requested of her.
She starts to dwell on all the times Kenta had left her alone to train, leaving her without guidance. As her anger builds up for her teacher leaving, her movements get more precise and powerful. With a powerful round-house kick, she ends up kicking half of the log off. She slumps down onto the forest floor, panting heavily. After a few moments of resting, Ame gets up and inspects the damage. Her right leg hurt like hell, but seeing the thick log torn in two from her pure power made her feel good. Kenta reappears just as Ame was considering going to find another log to practice with, and his face drops when he sees the state of the log.
She cracked that in half? That thing must have been at least 100 pounds, how in the hell…He snaps out of his thoughts when he feels the popsicle start to drip on his hand.
"Ame! I see you've been enjoying yourself." he says, snide as ever. Ame rolls her eyes but smiles.
"I got a popsicle if you wanted to share." he says, snapping the red treat in two and handing one side to her. Her eyes lit up, wondering how Kenta knew what her favorite treat is. She thanks him and promptly sticks it into her mouth, leaning against the battered log. They eat in silence and Ame finishes quickly, burying her stick by moving some earth around. Kenta manages to get his stick into the hole before she covers it up, and Ame laughs.
"I was wondering if you could find another log, or set up some targets to work on my accuracy." she says, twirling around in circles. Her legs ache, but that doesn't mean she can't dance a bit. Kenta leaves without a word, coming back with a slightly smaller log.
"Actually, Ame…" Kenta starts out, signaling her to switch the logs out. She complies and hops on top of the new log, sitting cross legged and peering down at him. It had to be at least 8 feet tall.
"I want to see you split this one in half as well, but with your arms." he says, looking up at her. She sits for a while, pondering if she could do it. She hops back down onto the ground and peers around the log at her teacher.
"I don't know, when I did the last one I was sort of angry and it just…happened." she says, making a conflicted face while peering at the ground. Kenta sighs, obviously figuring that was the case.
"Can you at least try?" he asks, smiling. Ame hesitates but smiles back, nodding. Her legs are strong, but her arms are stronger, so Ame figures she can do it easily.
She gets into position and starts cracking at the log, building up her emotions like before. Soon she wears the bark down, hitting pure wood, and quickly wearing that down too. A surge of pain hits her emotional core when she thinks of her parents, and she feels some odd tingly feeling in her arms. With the next punch, the log rips completely in half once more, and flies into a tree adjacent. The tree that was hit slowly tilts and falls over with a large thundering sound.
Ame pants and she feels her arms lose the tingly feeling. She peers over to Kenta with one eye open and his face is blank.
"What, what's wrong?" she asks, straightening herself out. His face brings upon a look of curiosity, not entirely knowing how to tell Ame what he just witnessed.
"Simply put…I think you turned your arms into stone." he says, and Ame's face falls into deep confusion.
Is this part of my blood-line trait? I never wanted to know more about my past than I do right now. She sits on the ground and tries to take in air, finding it difficult to breathe. Is it even possible to turn ones body into stone? It sounds like a hoax to me.
"We'll work on this later, Ame. Just try and compose yourself so we can get done with training today." Kenta says in a calming voice. Ame nods after a few moments, standing up. She releases the log from the earth and pushes on it, but it doesn't budge. She pushes harder and it barely moves.
What the hell…? She asks in her mind, having to use both arms and push as hard as possible. The log finally falls over and she looks back at Kenta, who raises his hands up innocently.
"I'm not the one with freakishly amazing powers over here, don't look at me for answers." he says in his normal teasing tone, and Ame laughs lightly at his words. For the rest of the day - until eight - they work on accuracy and precision until it's time for both of them to retire to their homes.
o.O.o
Ame slides through her glass doors, making sure to close the blinds this time. Her eyes roll automatically at her thoughts, and soon she sits on her bed cross legged, staring at her hands.
"Who am I?" she whispers softly, leaning against the wall behind her. Every time she had asked the Hokage to tell her about her family, he made an excuse and pushed her out of his office. Is it that bad that I can't even know one simple fact? Many times Ame had come to the conclusion that her family was either evil, or dead, and the third was just simply sparing her the details.
"But I deserve to know." she says angrily, going into the bathroom and staring at her reflection, blue eyes flitting over her appearances. With pink hair, and tan skin, she was only a bit off from the normal Shinobi. Some would even consider her average. But my chakra…her thoughts get back to her and she peers down at the soft pink finger tips connected to her wrist, trailing up her arms.
"I'm not normal." She concludes, setting off to get ready for bed. Ame makes a simple decision, a goal perhaps; to learn about her family and her history, and everything about herself before she perishes. It would be the least the Hokage could do for her, to just give her simple information. But something is holding him back, and she knows it. Just what is holding him back, is what she wants to find out.
Ame's thoughts keep whirring through her mind and through the night as she sleeps. Once more, she dreams of meeting her parents, only to find out she's not what she thinks she is. The sweet dream turns to a nightmare quickly, jolting Ame out of her sleep. She pauses, panting for a moment, before turning over and going back to sleep.
Ohohoho if you have an IQ over 70, the goal of the story has been revealed! If not, then I beg you to go to take an IQ test and see if you are legally retarded D: (Or maybe it's just not as obvious to people other than myself...)
