Welcome back y'all. Here it is the third chapter to SK New World. Now some very important foundations are gonna be laid down in this chapter. So I hope you all enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own Senran Kagura or any of the characters in it. Only the plot is mine.

Warning: Strong sexual content as well as strong language. But come on, it's Senran Kagura. This is to be expected. What did that one save point person say in the Bravely Default series? "It's only gonna get worse from here on out?" I hope that is what she said.

Chapter 3: Ninja Arts training and trouble

I had arrived at Ikaruga-Sensei's Ninja Arts training class. Ikaruga-Sensei looked among the class of first years with myself thrown into the mix. She looks at us sternly, "Welcome to Ninja Arts training class. I'm Ikaruga Imai, but you will only refer to me as Ikaruga-Sensei."

I quickly raised my hand, "I think that's a given Ikaruga-Sensei. Even though they're first years, I think they've attended regular school before this."

Ikaruga-Sensei raised her hand, "Silence Mikagura, I'm talking about respect. Always add the Sensei after my name if you want to live to a ripe old age." She then fixed her glasses, "Now, behind me is the field we'll be using to learn our Ninja Arts. There are three levels of Ninja Arts. The Ninja Art is level one, The Super Secret Ninja Art is level two, and the Ultimate Ninja Art is level three. I will demonstrate what a Ninja Art looks like. Follow me."

Ikaruga-Sensei takes over to where a practice was dummy standing and then picks up a very long, thin sword. She held it by the hilt as she let's us see it. The blade was so long that it literally touches the ground as she holds it out in front of her, "This blade is my weapon of choice. It's name is Hien and has been passed down in my family for generations. I will now demonstrate my Ninja Art with this blade."

Ikaruga-Sensei then held the blade horizontally behind her as she held her right hand steady. As she got ready to draw her blade, I felt the air fill up with some kind of power around us. This indicated that Ikaruga-Sensei was getting ready to use her Ninja Art. Then her right hand grips the hilt as she draws her blade blindingly fast and makes a few quick slashes before she sheathed her blade, but before she fully sheathed it she said, "Hein Hosen: Mode one!" When she fully sheathed her weapon, the dummy was slashed to splinters by an Invisible blade.

The entire class all exclaims excitedly at Ikaruga-Sensei's Ninja Art. She smirked, "Well, that's the gist of my Ninja Art. Now, my level one does not utilize my element, but there are those that do utilize an element when using a Ninja Art. My element is fire and can be seen when I utilize my Super Secret Ninja Art, level 2. Now there are several other elements that can be utilized during a Ninja Art." Ikaruga-Sensei looks to me, "For example, Mikagura, what are your sisters' elements?"

I groaned, "Fire and water."

Ikaruga-Sensei gives a slight nod, "Water, another great element. There's also ice, wind, thunder, earth, light, and darkness. Each shinobi powers differs, and what you are proficient in might not be clear in the beginning, but with diligent training you can be battle ready by the end of your third year."

I thought to myself, 'Or you could fail and get tossed out on your butt.'

Ikaruga-Sensei grabbed a clipboard, "Now you'll each pair up and practice on, not only how to use Ninja Arts, but to learn how to sense the element within yourself and others."

After the teacher divided us all up, I got stuck with this one girl who only wanted to play hide and seek. Even Ikaruga-Sensei had started to assist each of the other students one at a time. I knew she would be near us soon, So I turned to my partner, "What was your name again?"

The girl laughed, "Igarashi. Minori Igarashi!" Minori then pulled a candy out of her bucket and started eating.

'We have a lot of work ahead of us…' I nodded in response, "Well, I'm Renka Mikagura, and I'm from New World house, and judging from the brown and tan uniform, you are from Gessen house, correct?"

Then Minori clapped, "Wow, you got that right! Are you psychic or something?!"

I just chuckled with a shake of my head, "No, it's common knowledge to know which uniform goes to which house."

Minori gave me a puzzled look, "Huh, really?!" With a tilt of her head.

'Wow. She is gonna fail here...' I sigh, getting her attention, "Minori listen, when Ikaruga-Sensei comes around, I really need you to listen to her and try and help me figure out my element."

Minori looked quizzically at me, "Why? Is it good to learn our Ninja Arts?"

I quickly nodded, "Yes, very good. Can you do that for me Minori?"

Minori nodded cheerfully, "All right, I'll try!"

I was so relieved by that statement that when Ikaruga-Sensei came around, I wasn't worried. Ikaruga-Sensei looked to us, "All right, Mikagura and Igarashi. We should start by learning what element you each wield."

Minori nodded, "Right, teach!" Then took out candy out of her bucket and ate it.

Ikaruga-Sensei looked at us quizzically, "What did you just…"

I quickly realized what Minori did wrong, "Minori, you're supposed to show her proper respect. Call her Ikaruga-Sensei."

Minori gasped, "Oh right. Sorry, Ikaruga-Sensei."

Ikaruga-Sensei furrows her brow, "That's not the problem here."

She yanks the bucket out of Minori's hands and Minori cries out, "That's mine, give it back!"

Then Ikaruga checks inside the bucket, and looks back to Minori, "How did you get candy? There's nothing in this bucket?"

Minori pouts with annoyance, "It's in my special place. Here, give me my bucket!" While making a gimmie motion with her hand.

Ikaruga-Sensei handed the bucket back to Minori. The girl then placed her hand in, "See?"

Ikaruga-Sensei and I looked into the bucket and saw her hand going into a tear in the fabric of reality. I gasped, "What the hell? How long have you been able to do this?"

Minori shrugs, "Ever since I got this bucket." Then she took her hand out with a piece of candy, "I've stored it with all of my favorite candy."

Ikaruga-Sensei takes the bucket and puts her own hand in, an audible sound her hand hitting the bucket echos out, "As I thought... Minori is the only one who can do this. She must be using her powers."

I was surprised, "Really? She can do that?"

Ikaruga-Sensei motioned for Minori, "Minori, can you come here please?"

Minori nodded, "Sure Ikaruga-Sensei." She walked over and Ikaruga-Sensei placed her hand on Minori's chest just below the neck. Ikaruga-Sensei then closed her eyes as Minori panicked, "W-wa-wait! Wh-what are you doing?"

Ikaruga-Sensei shushes the girl, "Hush." And then continued to do whatever she was doing. Finally, Ikaruga-Sensei opens her eyes and smiled, "Just as I thought. Your element is light."

Minori tilts her head, "Light?"

I get their attention, "Hold on. Just how were you able to do that just now?"

Ikaruga-Sensei crossed her arms, "The core of your elemental energy comes from your heart. So when you place a hand upon someone near their heart and concentrate, you can feel what element a person has."

Minori looks at Ikaruga-Sensei quizzically, "Really? Can I try?"

Ikaruga-Sensei nodded, "Sure. You can use your partner as a test trial."

I raise my voice, "Wait, what?! Why can't she just use you?"

Ikaruga-Sensei peered at me, "Do you want to find out your element or not, Mikagura?"

I sighed, "Fine. Minori, place your hand upon my chest."

When Minori looked to Ikaruga-Sensei, she motions to me, "Go ahead. Place your hand upon the top of Mikagura's chest, and then concentrate, and feel out what kind of energy she has."

Minori slowly placed her hand upon my chest. My heartbeat started to speed up as Minori closed her eyes. I took this time to look around and saw the other students doing the same thing to each other. They're all trying to find each other's element. Ikaruga-Sensei looks to Minori, "Can you feel anything, Igarashi?"

Minori's brow furrowed, "Well I can feel that Renka's heartbeat sped up."

My face heated up, "Shut up!"

Ikaruga-Sensei kept encouraging Minori, "Concentrate harder, Minori. You should be able to feel something. For example, for fire you should feel a burning sensation. Water gives off a certain cool feel to it. Ice feels really cold, and thunder gives off a stinging sensation. Each energy feels different, obviously."

I was getting impatient, "Hurry up. I don't like you touching me for this long."

Minori opened her eyes and gave me a smile. I looked at her, "What?"

Minori took her hand off me, "I'm feeling a stinging sensation, Renka."

A huge grin grew on my face, "Really!?"

Minori nodded and Ikaruga-Sensei nods, "That means your element is thunder, Mikagura."

I was so excited, I was hoping not to get an element that my sister's had. I was even more excited at the fact that my element has an advantage over her. I smirked when I realized that. Ikaruga-Sensei cut through my thoughts, "Now that we know your elements, we need to tap into that energy. You need to be able to summon your element at a moment's notice."

Ikaruga-Sensei put her hand in front of her and flames appeared above her hand, "This is a basic practice for getting used to summoning your element. Just concentrate and find your elemental energy, then push it up your arm and out of your palm. Why don't you both try it, Mikagura, Igarashi."

Both Minori and I said at the same time, "Okay." I then closed my eyes and started to concentrate and tried to target my elemental energy, but my concentration was disturbed when a bright light blinded me in the darkness. I opened my eyes and saw a giant ball of light in Minori's hands.

Ikaruga-Sensei looked pleased, "Job well done Minori."

Minori smiled, "Thanks! I realized that it's just like when I go to grab candy, so all I did was mimic my emotions of when I do that."

Ikaruga-Sensei smirks, "Whatever works. How are you doing Mikagura?"

I just looked away, "Well, I was concentrating, till Minori's light interrupted me."

I went back to concentrate again. I really needed to find my elemental energy. I don't know how long I was concentrating for, but then Ikaruga-Sensei said, "All right guys. Class will be over in the next five minutes."

My eyes quickly snapped open after hearing that, "No way! Did time really just get away from me?!"

Minori looked to me, "Were you able to find your elemental energy?" Her head tilting in confusion.

I just sighed, my head slumped, "No. You made it look so easy, though... It makes me feel a little stupid."

Minori frowns, "But you're not stupid, Renka. You're the greatest person I have ever known! You can do this!"

I gave Minori a smile, "Thank you, Minori. That means a lot to me." I just needed to concentrate and find that stinging sensation that Minori found. It's gotta be somewhere deep inside me, right?

As I tried to find that sensation inside me, I quickly opened my eyes to see Minori watching me eagerly. So I went back to concentrating. But then I heard a low growl coming from somewhere. I open my eyes to see that Minori had her hand over her stomach, "Good thing class is almost over, I'm hungry."

I heard Ikaruga-Sensei shout, "Class is officially over. Everyone head to your next class after the ten minute break."

I got mad, "Damn it! I wanted to try and tap into my element before class had ended."

I packed up and was about to leave class when Minori called to me, "Renka, can we eat together during break?"

I only blinked once and thought it over. I realized there was no harm in hanging out with Minori during break. So I said "Alright." Which resulted in Minori cheering.

After eating together we parted for third period. It was just math so I won't bore you with the details. Anyway, lunch rolled around, and I spotted Yomi eating alone, "Yomi, mind if we eat together?"

Yomi offered a smile, "Of course, Renka."

After I sat down, Yomi questioned, "How are your classes going Renka?"

I sighed, "They're going somewhere, but I'm not sure if I like where they are going... Being a third year is tough enough, but being a third year that's way behind is excruciating."

I can see Yomi was about to question me, until we heard a scream that was more like a shriek of terror. Both Yomi and I go outside and we saw two shinobi students going at it, or to be more precise, one was attacking, while another was dodging. I recognized the one dodging, it was Katsuragi, and the poor purple haired girl was probably another victim of Katsuragi's touching.

Yomi gets mad and seethes, "Her again? Doesn't she ever learn her lesson?"

Kat noticed me and Yomi, "Princess? Renka-Honey? Hey, help me out here. That girl's power seems to be driven by anger. She instantly got mad when I knocked her doll into the mud."

'One can grow more powerful from anger?' I thought in puzzlement.

Yomi yelled, "And just what were you doing to her before she lost control, huh?"

Kat crossed her arms, "Just what are you insinuating princess? Why would I purposely want to throw her doll into the mud?"

Yomi glared heavily at Kat, "You were trying to grab her boobs, weren't you? Admit it!"

Kat just smirked at the obviously correct accusation, "Alright. You got me there princess. I have a weakness for them you know." She lets out a dreamy sigh.

Yomi, turning red, screamed, "Pervert, sicko!"

I put two and two together, "She freaked out and dropped her doll in the mud, didn't she?"

Kat became defensive, "It's not like I didn't apologize for it. But she went off on me anyway."

Yomi was able to smirk despite her anger, "You're getting what you deserve!"

Now it was Kat's turn to glare, "Can it, princess. What do you say Renka-Honey? Can you get me to calm her down?"

Yomi tried to answer for me, "Why would she ever help someone like you?!"

Kat looked to me with pleading eyes, "Cause we're friends, right Renka-Honey?"

Yomi looked to me, "That's not true, right? You can't be! How can you be friends with her!? If you're friends with her, then you're no friend of mine."

I looked away, "Damn it! I'm sorry, Yomi. I've gotten to know Kat better and she's not all bad."

Yomi turned around, "Then I have my answer. Just so you know, I am the type that can hold grudges." She throws over her shoulder then went back inside.

I got mad and yelled out, "Damn it, Kat! Could you for once, not grab every boob you see in sight!"

I rarely use that word, but I was extra mad right now. I soon ran in between the girl and Kat and threw my hand forward to slap her, but sparks soon came out of my hand. So when I slapped her, my element coursed through her body causing her to pass out after my slap threw her back due to my strength. She landed on the ground as I stood there with a shocked look on my face. Kat just looks at me with a nervous sweatdrop, "Remind me not to get on your bad side."

A voice soon rang out, "What do we have here?"

I looked to where it was coming from and saw Yozakura-Sensei, who crossed her arms, "Just what the hell do you think you're doing, beating up on other students like this, Mikagura, Kobayashi!?"

Yozakura-Sensei wore the usual female instructor outfit, but tan and brown cause she's the head of Gessen house. Wearing big black glasses and blue hair so short it didn't even extend beyond her chin. She also had a pink flower decorating the left side of her head.

Yozakura-Sensei glared at me as she waited for my answer. I tried to speak, but Kat said something for me, "This girl went off and started attacking me after her doll fell in the mud, and Renka here was just defending me. She wouldn't stop, this girl."

Yozakura-Sensei scoffed, "That's cause she's Murasaki Yahagi, and she has the root of calamity ability." She picks up the girl, "Mikagura, Kobayashi, follow me. We'll discuss your punishment after we get this girl to the nurse."

Both Kat and I started following, and I slowly realized how much trouble I was in. I had somehow managed into my power here, but I couldn't be happy about it due to the fact that it got me into trouble, and to top it all off Yomi hates me too. Then there's the girl I just knocked out, I hope she's okay. The last thing I needed now was to get expelled because I accidently killed someone. I hope she isn't dead.

Chapter End.

I'm so evil to leave you guys off on a cliffhanger like that. Well I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. This one was actually a joy to write out. Will Renka be expelled? Is Murasaki dead? Find out in the next chapter Lol. Until then this has been Ayame and I am signing out. Peace!
