Awakening

[Hishime]

“I’ve never been in the Land of Tea, but I’ve heard of it” she said “There so many places I want to visit.” She sighed, knowing she wouldn’t be able to visit them all. She looked at the sky, waiting for Haruka to finish. “I wish I could be free” she whispered to herself as she watched the birds.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

"Dull! That's it!" she said, pounding her fist into her other hand. She looked over to Hishime, who seemed to be daydreaming, looking to the sky. "Free..." she mumbled, barely hearing her whisper the words. Too many times had she thought of freedom. But it was out of her reach for the time being. She looked up herself.

[Hishime]

‘Free...’ she repeated in her head, as she watched the sky. Freedom was something she wanted to fight for. But deep inside she knew she would never reach it. That didn’t mean she couldn’t try, she’d do everything for freedom. ‘Freedom, doesn’t exist’ she thought, and closed her eyes. Sighing deeply, she opened her eyes and looked forward again. Her eyes were not showing her true emotions, nor did her voice. She was glad she could hide her feelings, sometimes it was pretty handy.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

She spaced out for a while longer before breaking out of her trance like state. "Well, anyway..." Haruka said, trying to start the conversation back up. She had never like silence. "So, you grew up in Suna?" she asked retorically. "What was it like?" She was always curious about the cultures of the other countries.

[Hishime]

Hishime sighed, hoping this would be over soon. She hated to talk about her past. “Painful” she replied with a cold voice, and looked down. Her messy hair covered most of her face, so the sadness in her eyes wouldn’t be easy to see. Trying hard not to remember her childhood, she repeated in her head ‘Painful’.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka immediantly realized she had brought up a bad subject. "Oh... i'm sorry..." she said looking down. What was wrong with her? She always seemed to pick the awkward or bad conversation starters. "Life's never easy is it?" she mumbled, remembering her own childhood.

[Hishime]

“Its okay, you couldn’t know” she replied with a soft voice. Sadness in her eyes as she placed her hand on her arm. Her eyes were covered by her hair, so Haruka wouldn’t be able to see her expression.
The look in her eyes changed into a more angry look, as she looked at the sky. She grinned a little at the thought of revenge. But she had a long way to go before she could reach her goal.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka looked over to her for a brief second to see a erie smile on Hishime's face. She had seen before, with a friend of hers. It didn't usually mean good things. "Ummm..." It was another awkward silence, which she couldn't stand. "So, uh... what do you want to do?" she asked quickly, hoping that an action would be better than a conversation.

[Hishime]

Her angry expression disappeared as she heard Haruka speak. Turning her head to face her, she answered “I don’t care.” Her voice emotionless but clear. She didn’t really care if she would sound rude, she didn’t mean it that way.
She crossed her arms and added “You choose.” and waited for Haruka’s respond.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Hauka sighed. She didn't like picking things usually, but figured that they wouldn't get anywhere if they both went back and forth like this. "What about a little spar?" she chirped, the idea suddenly poppinginto her head. "I need to try out something i just learned anyway." She smirked, she had been eager all week to test this new technique.

[Hishime]

Hishime grinned at Haruka’s words “Why not?” she replied. “But promise, you wont hold back” She jumped backwards, landing on save distance. ‘I wonder what she wants to try…’ she thought as she got into fighting stance.
‘I’m ready for you, Haruka’ she added in her head as she reached for her weapon chase. But decided she wouldn’t need a weapon yet, and focused her eyes on Haruka.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka got into her own fighting possistion, glad that she had found something that interested Hishime. She decided not to go straight into her new technique, but to toy with her for a while. She formed her hand sign and said, "Elemental Possesstion Jutsu." as soon as this was complete, she pulled water from the pouch that hung at her side. It was in a whip formation. She separated it into two and flung them at Hishime.

[Hishime]

Staying calm as she saw the water coming towards her, she thought of a way to attack her. Just before the water could hit her, she appeared a few feet behind Haruka, using the Body Flicker Technique. She threw a smoke bomb at Haruka’s feet, so she wouldn’t be able to see. As soon as the smoke bomb hit the ground, she threw a Kunai with an explosion tag at her feet.
Then quickly hid behind a tree as she let the explosion tag explode.
She focused some chakra into her feet, being able to feel Haruka’s position.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka coughed at the thick blacket of smoke suffused the area. She couldn't see a thing in front of her or around her, for her eyes burned from the black cloud. Suddenly she felt a burning on her arms and legs and an explotion sent her forward. It became apparent that Hishime had sent her a little gift, an explosive tag.

She rolled on the ground and quickly sprung back up. She looked around. Hishime was no where to be seen. She tried to concentrate, to find her somehow.

[Hishime]

Hishime grinned as she heard the explosion, knowing Haruka was hit. She tried to breath as quietly as she could. She did a few handsigns and created 2 Kage Bunshin. Not making a sound, the clones went underground. After a few seconds, they pulled Haruka into the ground till her waist.

The real Hishime jumped in front of Haruka, crossing her arms. The clones appeared next to Haruka, holding her arms so it would be harder to move. ‘This was too easy, it can’t be right’ Hishime thought smirking. She took a few steps backwards, stopping on save distance.
