Chapter 3: Training Day 1!~
The training wasn't that hard, but it took time to master our moves. It sure as hell payed off! ~Raven
Everyone was one huge family to my content! The Manji is better than I dreamed! ~Kuni
:::000:::
Approximately 30 minutes after breakfast, the clan was aligned in vertical rows. They were classified by age with individual mats underneath their kneeling legs. All eyes were on Master Ryuzaki, waiting for instructions. The usual daily routine.
He cleared his throat. "Alright pupils, you know what to do. Well, for the little ones, I will take you to the obstacle course to boost your stamina. You youngsters will be escorted shortly." The leader strolled in horizontal lines. As soon as he heard the high-pitched agreeing squeals from the addressed students, he nodded.
"And as for our dear newcomers," He started off. Kuni and Raven felt their hearts skip a beat. "You will also join the children so you two can start of from there. Understand?"
The red head felt a peeving burning sensation on her cheeks. "Yes Master Ryuzaki."
"I understand, Master Ryuzaki." If Raven didn't know any better, he would've crossed his arms and pouted like a toddler. He felt female eyes and subtle smirks lingering on him. A light pink shade radiates his face as he tries to ignore them.
"Children, Raven and Kunimistu, please line up behind me." The said kids (and teenager) scurried over towards the master and followed him out of the room. But just as they were to take their leave, Master beckoned his son over to have a word with him.
All Raven could make out from their conversation was: "Come…"
"…..they wouldn't need supervision."
"…sub sensei.."
"Ok….what they are made of."
"…Ku….aven"
Raven could infer that Master Ryuzaki wants Yoshimistu to see how they perform on the obstacle course. We'll see how the siblings will do…
:::000:::
Kuni and Raven scanned the complicated obstacle course as if it were candy. On the other hand, the juniors were nervous by the complex contraption.
"Ready….Set…START!" He dismissed. The certain little ninjas scrammed to the first portion of the course—rock climbing, while the rest stayed behind out of fear. The wall was crooked and 25.4 feet high, but it was nothing challenging for the two. They high-fived as they reached to the top of the wall and ran to the next course. The next part was rope swinging. Boy, do they love rope swinging. Having lots of experience and fun in the jungle, (and watching the movie Tarzan) their eyes twinkled as they effortlessly swung across the room. Raven was enjoying himself so much that he tried imitating Tarzan's yell/roar, causing Kuni and the kids to giggle. Even Master and Yoshimistu had a fair share in the mirth.
Kuni and Raven landed gracefully on their feet to confront their awaiting target. Meanwhile, Master was examining the pupils with satisfaction. He was truly impressed, well not even 'impressed' could describe it. He was fascinated. Not much of the clan had such a smooth time with this obstacle course. And it's so easy too…
"They're great, don't you think, son?" Master nudged. "Yes, they are. They're wonderful." To be honest, Yoshimistu was mostly focused on Kuni. He was watching Raven's performance too, but she caught his eye more.
The sibling's next target was a bit more dangerous. After climbing up a very long flight of stairs, there were 3 wrecking balls; 2 swinging from the left and 1 swinging from the right. They were swinging rapidly too. If one of those hit you, you'll be knocked off and suffer a fall 30 feet to the ground. The ninjas glanced at each other and nodded. While Raven was taking the first step, the ball would've took him out if he didn't moved back in the nick of time. They both noticed the balls were rocking faster and faster and faster each second.
"What the hell?!" Raven seethed.
The master subtly hid the remote control…
Kuni sucked her teeth and slightly whined. Deciding to wait for the precise moment, she examined the balls' movement.
Wait for it….NOW!
She clutched her brother's shoulder and hauled them both in between the first and second ball. The red head sighed in relief knowing that they weren't dead. On the other hand, Raven praised her for her quick thinking skills. The juniors watched in awe and cheered them on.
Then, the two viewed the last ball. It's was quicker than the other two, which caused a problem.
Without thinking, he leaped to the other side of the third ball, finishing the challenge. He just needed Kuni to move along.
She hesitated. Her mind started to cloud up with thoughts of doubt. Her knees felt like jelly. Shivers crept up her back. Inside her belly felt like it was turned upside down.
"Kuni!"
She looked up to her brother.
"You can do this! I know you can!" He shouted. His eyes were full of hope and belief.
Now with a little motivation easing her worries, she unconsciously took a step forward. Oh no! What was she doing? Kuni could get hit—
BOW!
Her left shoulder took the blow. She screamed in intense pain and fell off the platform. But luckily, she used her better arm to hold on for her dear life to the edge. She desperately wanted to grip her bruised shoulder. Her eyes pricked with tears.
The kids, Master Ryuzaki and Yoshimistu fretted for her. "KUNIMISTSU!" He yelled. His father checked the remote. It was blinking red. On the top, it read: MALFUNCTION.
He cursed under his breath before turning his attention back to the situation at hand.
Raven pushed the dangers off to the side and kneeled to help his little sister up. But he was too late.
The ball came down and swung in the direction of Raven's behind.
POW!
His buttocks took the blow. Taking Kuni with him, they fell off the platform. The little ninjas flopped to the floor like pancakes. Even worse, Kuni landed on her injured shoulder and Raven on his already bone-broken booty.
More pain was inflicted by the impact. Raven and Kuni screamed in agony as if there was no tomorrow. Their tears wouldn't stop and couldn't help but let out a few sobs.
Master and Yoshimistu rushed to their sides. Master turned his head to the little ones watching the incident unfold in front of their innocent eyes. "Young ones! Alert the medics and please leave!" The children gave worried looks to the siblings and sped walked out the room. The room was silent with the exception of distant yells for help in the hallways.
"Son, I'll take Raven. Gently lift Kunimistu so we can get them to the infirmary." Master commanded as he carefully maneuvered the defenseless Raven into his armor-clad arms. "I'm so sorry, pupils." He whispered.
With Kuni in his own arms, Yoshimistu lowered his head to examine her. Poor thing.
Her face was red and tear covered, her eyes were shut tightly as her teeth clenched at the ache of her injury. Her right hand was over her left shoulder. The little swordsman could sense the feeling of discomfort and shame radiating off her.
"Hurry, Yoshimistu!" His father called. He snapped out of daydream land and followed his father into the infirmary.
:::000:::
I remember that day….it was horrible for me and my ass….my poor ass….my beautiful poor ass…. ~Raven
:::000:::
Raven and Kuni were resting on white beds. Kuni was sleeping straight while Raven was sleeping on his stomach. The nurse gathered her equipment before bowing respectively and leaving.
"Please watch them for me son, I need to check on the younger students and the rest." Master said. Yoshimistu nodded and continued to stare at the students. His father walked out of the clinic and closed the sliding door.
Yoshimistu sighed and leaned back into his chair. He peeped at the siblings one more time before drifting into sleep himself.
About two or three hours later, Kuni rolled in her sleep and jolted awake by the strain in her shoulder. She noticed the cast on her arm and surveyed the room. On her left was her drooling brother who had bandages on his butt, and her right was Yoshimistu. Her eyes caught the slow, steady, rise and fall of his chest. He was also a little slumped.
Is he sleeping?
The answer is most likely yes. She gazed at his mask. His mask.
His mask.
His mask.
His mask.
His mask.
His mask.
His mask.
Go for it.
No, you can't. It's disrespectful.
Hello?! Ever heard of Y.O.L.O.?!
You don't even know what will happen if you get caught.
Just test if he's really asleep. If he is, rip it off! If he's not, rip it off anyway! Be a rebel!
NO!
YES!
NO!
YES!
NO!
YES!
NO!
YES!
NO!
YES!
NO!
YEEEEEES! DO IT!
After a long argument between her good and bad consciences, her curiosity grew bigger; therefore, taking the bad side.
The red head climbed slowly out of the bed, keeping an eye on the mysterious sleeping boy. She tiptoed towards his chair and gradually bended down a little so she was face to face. Hesitantly, she waved a shaking hand in his face. He provided no reaction, to her satisfaction.
Kuni took a deep breath and reached for his mask. The closer she got, the weaker her body felt. A trembling hand clamped the bottom of Yoshimistu's mask.
Here goes nothing...
The mask was raised a little above the chin. But before anything else could be revealed, a firm hand grabbed hers, making Kuni's heart stop.
There was a very intense atmosphere in the room; more than their previous little situation in her room.
Kuni paled.
She was going to die today, and she knew it.
Don't worry, you're still a rebel!~
