A New Day(P/IO/NK)

What he is wearing

Spoiler:

After his date with Ayumi a week ago, Hideyoshi had spent some of his time relaxing or playing with his familiar Tibbers,he went to sleep the night before at 12 only to wake up later on that morning with a smile," Well...last night was great, now to return to the grind," the fire in his eyes burning as he got up and began to dress. His new training outfit was doing him well, it was lightweight not even inhibiting his movements, but at the same time offered him everything he needed. The black and teal lined sleeveless shirt sat smoothly against him, while the full arm fingerless gloves were perfect for his punches. As for the Greyish pants...well they were just pants. As he tied his headband onto his head, moving some strands of hair from his face a little fur ball would tackle him out of no where," Ack...Tibbers you son of a-...whaddya want now," laughing playfully as the small bear familiar of his climbed onto his shoulder and sat there staring at him. Those big beady eyes just examining his master. With a long sigh Hideyoshi finally gave in to the fuzzy bears stare," All right fine fine you can come with me, but if you cause any trouble, no salmon for dinner agreed," the little bear let out a happy...well whatever sound cubs makes when their happy and hugged his face.



Walking down the stairs, his mother would be in the kitchen cooking as she instantly threw a knife at him, Hideyoshi just caught it as he smiled," Good morning mother how are you today and your aim was a bit off this morning," she only turned around and smiled as she went back to cooking. Stepping outside, he would begin to run to the training grounds, where hopefully someone would be there to train with him. The little bear held on for dear life until he finally came to a stop and patted his master on the head angrily," Sorry Tibbers...had to be in a little of a rush but you get the picture right," smiling back to him as he took him off of his shoulder and sat him on the ground. In his head, Corbinek would speak," So...your a bear loving pansy now...just great what a real man you are," laughing loudly as Hideyoshi snapped back at him," You know what Corbinek, Tibbers happens to be a very awesome bear and fuck you for doubting him otherwise," the two continued to argue for a moment until Corbinek chuckled," Alright alright, you win for now partner, but for now focus on your training...your going to need it for later," the voice slowly disappeared as hideyoshi began to do some push-ups.

Ayumi has been training and sparring in the training ground as usual after their date with Hideyoshi but she hasn't seen him for a week now and she was worried. She thought that maybe he was on a mission out of village or relaxing but a week was a long time. She got up that morning rather gloomy with these thoughts like she did last 3 days. It was decided, if she did not see him today in the training ground, she would go find his house and see if he was alright.

She took a shower and wore her usual attire. White sleeveless blouse, dark blue shorts and white sport shoes she got as a gift from her uncle for graduating. She also got her dolphin necklace around her neck and her pouch behind her shorts, slightly to the left. She left the house after a silent breakfast with Gortak. Her uncle's business wasn't going very well lately, so he wasn't as cheerful as usual. Ayumi knew this, but she had full trust in her uncle, she had no doubt he would recover soon.

Ayumi went out of the house after finishing breakfast and tieing her forehead protector. She was ready for training, she wasn't the type to take a break, she was training day after day just like when she was an academy student. At least she was not studying at home after training, instead she returned to her hobby of singing lately thanks to Hideyoshi. Although she was still embarassed to sing in front of anyone, she thought she was pretty good at it. It could have been helpful for her uncle if she did some missions and gained some ryo instead of training but she wanted to be a bit more powerful first and also wait to see if her uncle could recover on his own. She knew for Gortak it meant a lot to take care of her, and reaching a hand for him at this age could be saddening in his perspective.

She arrived to the training ground and immediately started to look for Hideyoshi. There was a boy doing push-ups 20 meters away and he looked a lot like him but there was also a small cub near him. She walked slowly near them as she came closer she realized it was actually him and started sneaking around the trees instead. After she came close enough she sat on top of him. "Keep going, don't mind me. Can I ask where you have been, I was really worried?" , she stopped for a second, "and.. who is our little friend here?", one of her eyes was on the cub, it looked adorable but it still was a bear so she was on guard.

Hideyoshi was almost at 45 when he felt a body sit on his back. For a moment he was going to flip whoever it was off until he heard the voice and recognized it as Ayumi. Smiling he would continue his push-ups as he spoke," I was taking care of the little one there and also relaxing for a little while...i'm sorry i made you worry so much," his body touching the ground and coming back up with no real problems. As she mentioned little Tibbers, he would come over and tilt his head at her before wanting her to pick him up," That little devil there is Tibbers and trust me he is a evil little thing, furry and cute but evil," chuckling for a moment as he finished his set of 60 and stood there for a moment. As he looked at tibbers and Ayumi he would smile," So Ayumi...since i am done can you kinda get up haha, but what have you been up to this past week," as he stood up he would look at her clothing and smile," And you look are looking beautiful as ever my dear." Moving to a nearby tree, he would sit underneath its shade and look at her as she spoke to him, wondering what they should do today, but maybe a good spar would be good for the both of them.

"Tibbers? That's a fitting name for such a cute fellow" she chuckled. Ayumi stood up when Hideyoshi was done with his 60th push-up, although she didn't weigh much, he impressed her once again. She picked Tibbers up and carried him on her hands, Tibbers wasn't as heavy as she thought. As they walked towards a tree to sit under the shade of, he asked her what she has been upto this week and didn't forget to compliment her.

"Well, mainly I've been coming here everyday, training and finding more people to spar with." she didn't want to tell him she has been singing, the topic itself felt embarassing. She quickly tried to find a new subject before the silence was weird. She continued after they sat under the tree: "So, what will you do today? I was thinking maybe we could have a rematch... with no groping as a rule." she laughed as little Tibbers sat on her legs. The furry fellow seemed to like her.

Hideyoshi smiled as he closed his eyes slowly and listened to her voice," Ahh i see becoming stronger and stronger...but you should take a break every once in a while to let your body catch up to you," his right eye opened as he looked at her closely. It seemed like tibbers was growing a liking to Ayumi, which made him happy to see the little cub make a new friend so fast. When she mentioned a rematch he sat up and looked through the leaves," Sounds like a good idea Ayumi, and don't worry i won't grope you again...unless you want me to haha im kidding but let's do it," as he stood up he would walk to the middle of the training field and stand near a tree that was at least 15 meters from where he once was. He knew never to underestimate Ayumi and he wasn't going to make that mistake. He would whistle for a moment and Tibbers instantly looked up at him," Sit by the tree and do not move okay...i don't want you getting hurt okay," the little cub nodded as it curled up near the side of the tree and watched his master carefully.

Ayumi sat there as Hideyoshi joked his way to the training field with Tibbers following him. He stood pretty far away with Tibbers hiding on the back of a tree. Ayumi also walked from where they rested, she would probably kill herself, unless Hideyoshi killed her first, if she hurt Tibbers so she kept an eye on where he was. She started walking to the training field, but she needed a water source to use her full potential. The river was flowing around the training ground, but they weren't very close to it. She at last picked a spot to stop, it was roughly 20 meters away from Hideyoshi and she could feel the river's flow 10 meters behind her which was around her limit distance for most jutsus. He already knew she was a water user, so she didn't care about being so distant just to get to the river. She knew Hideyoshi was probably still stronger than her even with an unlimited water source, so she couldn't be away from the river no matter what.

She didn't perform any jutsus yet and asked him "Are you ready?", she had trust in herself although she thought Hideyoshi was more skilled. Strength wasn't all this spar was about, as long as she had the right strategies, she had very good chances of winning. She also knew he hasn't been training a lot since their date, so there would probably be no surprise attacks by him. She just had to improve on their last spar to win.

Hideyoshi had taken a deep breath as he opened his eyes and smiled," Yes i am...now here i come," running at her with full speed. He knew that if he pulled his punches it would be the end of him if she had pulled out a secret technique or something like that, but it was what she had leaned that he wanted to know the most. When he finally reached her he would begin his attack with an open palm thrust to her stomach, but he was also watching for any key movements from here just in case she pulled that Prison again.

If his hit were to connect she would be pushed back a couple of meters, two at the most as he moved in for a sweep kick to knock her off balance. If he had missed he would roll to his right to clear some distance between the two of them as he waited for her move.This whole time his eyes would not leave her, but he for some reason he felt as if something was abit amiss right now.

As Hideyoshi ran towards her with high speed, Ayumi had more than enough time to do any jutsu in her repertoire with the long distance between them. She decided to go for the new defensive technique she got comfortable with lately after training with Senba. She formed many small bubbles from the river behind her with Water-heavens Convergence jutsu and formed a water shield in front of her. Without even moving, she blocked the punch with no difficulty as her shield remained intact although it got thinner.

Hideyoshi then quickly rolled to her left to put some distance between them as Ayumi stopped controlling the water from her shield, letting it fall in front of her for future use. She also rapidly performed another jutsu Hideyoshi didn't see her use before. "Suiton:Mizurappa!" Water started to rise in her lungs before she extracted 10 litres from her mouth towards him, who was just about to land on his feet from his roll, this technique wouldn't hurt him too much if connected, nevertheless the water would drag him upto 10 meters back. Ayumi would do a backflip right after she used this, whether it failed or not, to put more distance between them. She also created one more small bubble to the further end of the river, 20 meters away and prepared Kawarimi jutsu to replace if necessary. Her fighting speed was no match for him so she needed to be prepared and have a good distance between them.

As the kick connected with the water he would smile," So she knows that same technique as Senba huh...this shall be interesting indeed, but what all can she do with it," thinking to himself as he rolled away but quickly felt the water pushing him backwards.After a while he would be pushed back no further he would begin his plan as he ran after Ayumi, this time jumping into the air and latching onto the tree with the same jutsu. Running up it for approximately ten meters he would have the momentum he needed as he reversed the technique, pushing him off of the tree and into a lateral 180 degree motion to where his body began to spin.

As he reared closer to Ayumi, he would land behind her instead of infront as he attempted to sweep her from behind and from there give her another one of those pokes which would push her back significantly (about 3 meters). If all went according to plan she would be moved away from the water and he would be five meters from its shore," So you know the Water Heavens Convergence...interesting you just surprise me every time we fight," even if his plans did not go through he would still say this as he ran in for another attack.

Ayumi saw her jutsu land on him as he was pushed backwards. She was now prepared for any attack with her kawarimi before he could get out of her jutsu. He then started running towards her again, this time first jumping onto a tree and speeding up followed by pushing himself off the tree. As he was spinning on the air, Ayumi understood he was trying to go behind her back and take her off guard. She would probably not have the speed to move away, but she had prepared kawarimi.

She could use kawarimi now to replace with the buble 25 meters away but she found something more clever and tried to move that bubble close behind where Hideyoshi would land as he still was falling. She wasn't fast enough but her bubble's speed was very fast. He would now barely see the bubble coming and maybe understand her plan but since he is in mid-air he (I'm guessing?) wouldn't be able to change where he would land. Hideyoshi landed behind her as the bubble was already where she wanted it to be. She used Kawarimi right before he attacked to replace herself with the bubble. Now she would be right behind him and would hopefully have the time to use her water prison as he tried to poke her bubble in the *poof* of her jutsu.
