Having him escort her home wasn't ideal but it was necessary, unfortunately.

Kakashi Sensei didn't appear too annoyed by her request or her inconsistent pacing which she was very thankful for.

The day had been highly promising and she hoped the man wasn't regretting the choice to continue to teach her. Sakura wanted to get better and she had no doubt that she had the ability to do so. Sakura and the man reached her home and parted ways with minimal effort and she headed inside, ready to fall to the floor. Of course she didn't. Her mother had waited for her and had given her a plate of cold leftovers but it would do. Sakura ate and told her mother how the day had been and her mother seemed very proud and encouraging, something the girl was grateful for. After she finished her supper, she made lunch for both herself and Kakashi Sensei before going up to bed.

Without anymore energy in her reserves, she went to bed and set her alarm for early so she could shower and get an early start.

At eight thirty, Sakura was running the hot water as she cradled a book in her hand which was providing some more insight into water jutsu and its many strengths and weaknesses. She got in and washed up, glad to be rid of the layers of sweat and dirt. Twenty minutes later, she got out and dressed herself. When she came down, she grabbed a breakfast of toast and apple juice before grabbing her pack, which her mother refilled and put the lunches in earlier, and heading out the door. The bright sun was welcoming and gave her some energy. The sleep had been wonderful and she was sure the rest of the day would take full advantage of the rest she had gotten.

At a quarter to ten, Sakura found herself arriving at their usual training grounds, wondering where the other adult could be. She surveyed the land and spotted one of his books. She squinted her eyes, not sure that it had been placed there randomly or absentmindedly. He loved those books, for whatever reason, and the pink haired girl was sure she was supposed to go over and check it out. It was clearly a trap. Of course it was so obvious that she wondered if not picking it up was also a trap. Sakura sighed and walked over to the book but kept two feet between her and it. She looked around again and shrugged, not really wanting to play games.

"Kakashi Sensei, I know you're hiding." She could sense something but the origin remained cleverly hidden.

Suddenly a massive water dragon flew from the river behind her and she spun around. Before she could react any further, it slammed towards her. The jutsu made a direct hit and sent her backwards into the woods. She got to her feet, soaking wet. "I guess that bath was pointless." She muttered, wishing she had given herself more time to sleep in, had she known. Her hair was no real concern to her but being soaking wet, was. Putting her hands together, she formed the Ram seal and used her chakra to repel most of the water on her, leaving her fairly dry. Next she pulled a kunai from her small pouch around her knee and ran back from where the attack came from. It seemed training started a little early, that was indeed a surprise. "Good morning to you too." She smirked as she stepped back out into the field.

For all we know, summer now comes in November. *grumbles*

Gosh really. Stop hogging all the water, man! Mother nature is quite a bitch.

Deductive Reasoning

This is some weird shit but probably slightly before our era...but go figure what some people think is trendy.

Oh it's not related to squirrels but hermits.

Steroids could be made from different herbs or stuff, probably akin to certain hard drugs. Haaaa.

So should I try and whip us up an IC post then? It would probably summarize events like the missing kids/animals, as well as Irene and Mary having become friends recently and lead us up to them all meeting at maybe where Mary works?

Oh Michigan, you crazy!

Gosh, tomorrow is June huh? Fuck time flies. I still think it's April...

Hopefully the weather holds and doesn't send plagues of frogs or anything like that. >__>'

Jobs are so fucking scarce, I wish you the best of luck.

It might be too soon for someone like Gai or Lee, but maybe the next day when Sakura's got a firm grasp on the jutsu?

Beyond a Fire's Embers

That's very true. Give a shit space, some personal flair.

I'm glad it's not too hot or humid. The weather seriously can't make up its mind over there. My weekend's been decent, quiet and I got to catch up some homework. ^^

Deductive Reasoning

Surely a genius like Moriarty has a squirrel disguise where he hides in the park to spy on people.

I never got into supernatural but my friend was WAY into it. And I'm sure the crazy guy would need to make his experiments appear as though they worked since, if they didn't, he's likely to get killed since "no loose ends" and all. I think this could divulge into other areas of deception, with it depending on what traits we'd need to emulate. But it sounds like we've got that settled.

Should we assume missing people and animals have been...er missing for like a month? But there's no pattern (since he needs new subjects at random?) no one really cares? In this case, maybe Mary's child she's teaching as a governess has vanished, and so has his dog, a few days earlier? Would that work?

And it's on TBS for me, if that helps.

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Yes and no. It's annoying to be here but it's so close to everything I'm familiar with...and I stil don't want to move into that house. >___> Not to mention now we have to deal with a remodel, replacing windows, etc. And I'm likely going to have to be helping with that.

Yes, thank you! Your belief will sustain me! As school just drains the life from meeeee. T____T

How's your weekend been, full of tea and cookies? (don't we all wish?)

Cherry Blossoms Under the Silver Sky

I'm sorry all that shit is going on for you. But it does sound like some of it going to turn around, hopefully.

Ensuring your vision is alright, it something you often have to be on top of, even if you fear for bad news. I know that first hand. Just know, all eyes are different and there's always aid for people who need it, be it a little or a lot.

And okay, I'll get started on a post now. I'm doing some reading but nothing else is on my plate right now. I'm not sure which I'll have her do but I'm leaning more towards her not bothering him so an attack is likely what will then happen, and I doubt she'd be able to counter it so...interesting morning lined up. Did you want to flesh out the second day of training again? Did you have anything in mind for that or were you thinking we'd soon skip to lunch? She will have brought them both something to eat.

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Yep, and we may be able to move in 2 weeks if the closing date doesn't change. ^^;

And yes, studying should be over soon though. There is some light at the end of the tunnel~!
