It is a nice night, to have a bite~ [P]

Shouten proceeds to smirk at her reaction, it is a please itself to know he holds such power over her, the intense blush upon her face he cannot say isn't adorable, and sexy in a way. His attraction is forcefully quelled, this done so he does not take her in public; he will do that back at home when they finish. "Don't worry, that is why we are out here working on it." Shouten thinks over this for a moment, perhaps he should show her truly what she can do if she prepares for it and trains. He stops her as she is dragging the first puppet away, "Before you do, could you try something for me?" With this Shouten's left hand moves to his right, pulling the purple gem ring from his index finger with his index finger and thumb of the opposing hand. He offers it to the girl, extending his arm outwards towards her. "This is a unique ring that belonged to my ancestor, the way it is made helps increase ones chakra flow, and amplify their body as a result. I want you to try it on, and see how fast your puppets move, just to show you how good you can become in the puppetry field." Shouten waits for her to take it, watching her all the while to see the show she puts on for him, which will no doubt exceed anything she has ever done puppetry wise.

Being interrupted she would turn before sealing the assassin away. Facing her master she would look at the beautiful ring her eyes widening before he speaks, 'Oh Kami! I don't think I'm ready for that next step! But I love him so...is he...?' Upon hearing his words her black ears would twitch and then fall flat against her hair as her blush would come back in a lighter tone. 'Damnit...it wasn't what I thought it would be...' She would reach forward with her left hand grabbing the ring with her index finger and thumb if she is allowed and would slip it onto her opposite hand thumb since his finger size is a lot bigger than her's.

Slipping on the ring she would feel power surge through her and she felt a lot stronger than normal. Furrowing her eyebrows in confusion she would quickly bend down to her Assassin puppet and attach her Chakra strings once more. Standing up she would twitch her fingers to make the puppet get up on it's feet. It seemed to be moving at a much faster pace. Letting her eyes widen in surprise she would pull both of her arms to the right making the puppet run with the arms pointing down and behind it. It was moving so fast that Aura couldn't see it very well so she pulled her hands back to the center to make the motion stop, surprisingly the puppet had moved a fair ten meters in such a short time. Not like before she had put the ring on.

Looking down at the ring she would whisper to herself, "Whoa...that's incredible." She looks up at her master a broad smile on her face, he showed her how fast her puppets really could move. What a truly amazing ring. "That was awesome! Thank you so much! Oh..here...let me get this off..." She would stop channeling her chakra into the strings so she could detach them and grab the ring with her forefinger and thumb to slide it off and hold it out once again towards her master in order to return it to him. "I wish my family had something like that, but I suppose they had to die in such poverty." She would let out a sigh feeling the sting of her past once more before shrugging it off and shoving it into the back of her mind.

If the ring would be taken from her hold she would then proceed with the interrupted action of sealing her puppets in the scroll as she was going to do before he wanted to show her the ring. Once the puppets had been sealed into the scroll Aura would roll it up and put it back into her hip pouch looking at her master to see if he was ready to leave. She was really warm and felt like getting away from all the heat and lava and get some more ice cream from the abandoned vendor's post from when she had killed him. The ice cream would be a nice treat to cool down with and Aura thinks Shanks would really appreciate the treat as well.

Shouten watches the puppets with a slight smirk upon his face, this proved something; She needed to work on her chakra network and strengthen it for this art. Viewing her end the puppet show she returns the ring, Shouten taking his left hand and picking it up, sliding it upon his right index finger. "This ring did not come from direct family, this ring if my studies are correct, is nearly one thousand years old." Shouten looks down upon it, thinking over this for a minute. "Found it in a Shrine of Rikudo Sennin that was covered up in lava rock." These words are spoken casually, Shouten not realizing he has not told her of his bloodline, but the few words her spoke should clue it in that he is a descendant of Rikudo Sennin, the God of Shinobi.

Shouten if nothing occurs to stop such, makes his way towards the bridge to get out of the training pits. "I think we had enough for today, lets go relax for a bit and spend some time together, just you and me." With this he flashes a smile towards her as he proceeds to walk back to the village, once they get over the bridge however he motions for her to take the lead. "Go ahead and take me to the Ice Cream place, I am curious to see your handiwork." Should she take the lead, he follows her to the destination, curious to see if the mans body is still there or not so he can see how gruesome it got.

Aura hearing him speak would freak out mentally, 'Wait a second...Sennin...? Like God Sennin??? WHAT?! I'M IN LOVE WITH A GOD?!?!' Ashe she mentally berates herself as they cross the bridge she would bite at her thumb nail in thought. Once he motions for her to lead the way she would pull her thumb away looking up, "Huh? Oh yeah, ice cream, right." She walks forward pulling the hair tie from her pony tail letting her long hair rest against her back naturally her new ears twitching from being tugged on from the hair tie. 'Bad idea, I guess I will have to learn how to deal with the long hair.' She shrugs as she now walks along the empty streets of Funka. Upon making a left onto a desolated street two bodies can be seen on the ground from their end as they get closer it's obvious that it was where she had killed two people. 'Still there? I guess the ninja's here must be lazy.' Aura mentally shrugs again, leading him over to the dead bodies she would put her foot on the wall and her hands would grip onto the window sill of the vendor. "You can check them out, Shanks did most of the work, I pretty much just finished them off, like a bow onto of the present." She would pull herself up and into the ice cream vendor grabbing two bags this time to fill full of ice cream before turning and jumping out and onto her feet before taking the top of her shoe to the vendor man that Shanks had bitten and injected with poison, she would sigh gently tilting his face to the side revealing the black veins from Shank's poison. "What an idiot many to put his hand where it does not belong." She would kick his cheek earning a crack from the body before walking in the direction of their home and stopping to wait for her master, bags in hand ready to go.

Shouten watches as she takes the lead, his eyes trailing over her form and taking a good look over her form whilst she travels in front of him, making it oh so easy. In but a few moments they are set to reach the ice cream parlor, the form of the corpses now becoming visible as they draw closer. He hears her speak about what she did to them, according to her words they were gonna die anyways and she just let them go quicker, not what he expected which warrants a sigh whilst she is inside getting the ice cream. He looks over the bodies, seeing the decay that buffeted them, he is curious what other powers his little evil monkey has.

He looks over towards her as she exits the window, landing only to move the mans head and inspect the handiwork before kicking him across the face. Shouten chuckles a bit at this as she begins to walk towards their home, Shouten however takes a minute, he wants to examine the effects of the little ones what looks like poison himself. Pulling forth the bag from his "jacket" pocket with his left hand it is unfolded, the two bodies promptly put within only for the bag to be folded up, and put away. Shouten now begins to walk towards her, ready to go now that the mess has been cleaned up, and that he has something experiment on later.

Aura would watch as the two bodies are stuffed into a small bag. Her eyes widen once he places the bag into his pocket no weight what so ever weighing him down. Feeling the sweat roll down the side of her face she would become annoyed with how hot it is here. Blushing, she didn't want to ask this of her master, but her hands are full. "Master, could you get that...?" She asks softly the 'that' she would be referring to would be the sweat drop. The bags of ice cream weighing her arms down which is the reason why she couldn't get it herself, now the drop is tickling her skin uncomfortably. "Hopefully I can enjoy the bath or a nice cool shower when we get home..." She mutters in annoyance to the hot weather. Suna had it's moments of extreme heat waves also, but lava? Damn this village of murdering. Maybe they could take a paid vacation to Kumo, where it rains, and Aura hasn't seen rain before. Aura had read and seen on television that rain has a cooling and calming effect on the enviorment and boy has Aura been passing out due to the heat. It would be nice if she could simply fall asleep in a room temperature and with some background noise that isn't someone's blood curdling screams.

Shouten watches as the sweat begins to roll down her face, his right hand softly moves towards her, the body temperature in his right hand lowering to make his hand mimic that of an ice pack in a way, the sweat moved away yet he has the cool feeling be felt by the girl, if still allowed to get the sweat from her face. Once done however, the two are set to arrive at their home if she continues to walk, "Feel free to use the bath however you would like when you get home." His words mentioned only to let her know he hears her complaining, the two reaching his home as he pushes open the door, the lights off to keep the temperature down which makes his house cooler than the outside, actually comfortable in comparison. "I'm sure you know where everything is, but you can put all the ice cream in the freezer in the kitchen, I don't think I have any body parts in that one.." The man thinks, knowing his medical freezer up stairs has a few, but he does not think he put any in this one yet, shrugging it off he goes to the far wall, a small dial is fiddled with which causes a whirling sound to occur, an air conditioning unit being powered off raw chakra generators turns on to cool his house, the only light however being a dim crimson glow which derives from the surrounding lava, coming in through the windows of the house, a permanent light source that is enough for the man. The whirling stops as Shouten growls a bit in annoyance, punching the wall as it cracks and shakes, the whirling turning on once more as the ait conditioner comes back on. "There we go, it should feel better in here soon."

Aura would sigh feeling his cold hand upon her skin. 'Oh my goodness that's heavenly...' Feeling him pull away to start walking she would pout and then whine mentally as she follows, hearing him speak of the bath and how she may use it whenever and however she would let her ears perk up in excitement as she follows him. Closing the door once they get inside the cooler home she would sigh in delight. "It's cooler in here finally!" Hearing him tell her about the freezer she would shrug, at least he kept the bodies away from her food, Aura wasn't really into flesh, just blood. Aura would cimply guess that he liked experimenting with them for now, as long as they stayed away from the things she eats she's fine with his seperate cooler. Going to the freezer she would put the bags in and close the freezer door, going to the sink to turn the cold water tab all the way open, Aura would cup the water in her hands before splashing herself in an attempt to cool off her body. "Bwah!" Would come out as she now gets goosebumps from the sudden cooling sensation of the water and the machine that Shouten had turn on that blows out cool air. "What kind of machine is that?" She would question, he hasn't seen one of those before. She looks to her master for her answer.

Whilst Shouten fiddles with the machine it seems his lower proceeds to handle her affairs within the house, Shouten hearing her sound and laughing a bit at it, turning to face her as she questions him his eyes catching a few indications that the sound was made because she was cold, but of coarse it is simply a guess, a very educated one. "It's a cooling unit that I had installed for the times I am back in the village, most of the houses have one. It takes chakra through a generator and converts it into wind chakra which causes a vacuum cycle effect, air is pulled from the air whilst released back into it after it is cooled down and purified. It's all controlled by this switching on the wall behind me, it regulates temperature by how much chakra is used, just we only have so much we can use at a time since it charges in the sun." Shouten shrugs a bit, it's a common device here due to the constant heat that is generated by the Volcano, didn't they have something like this in Sunagakure no Sato? Obvious not if she does not know what it is. Shouten however brings up a different subject, "Come to think of it, I do not think we ever looked at the puppet the evil monkey broke, mind if I look at it and see if I can help?" He inquires, wondering the extent of the damage.

She looks over at her puppet that is leaning against the couch seeing as how that's where she left it ever since she passed out on the couch with Shanks. She made the new chest plate using various scraps of metal from when she first came here with a couple busted kunai. Unfortunately there's something else wrong with the puppet. She was completely drained once she had made the chest plate. Bending over next to the puppet she would look into it's open chest, "He's here, it's just...I made his chest the other night, but I can't find anything else wrong with him." She tilts her head her ears tilting with her as she inspects the chest. Her ears twitch feeling the air cool around her making her feeling groggy and slow as she inspects hoping her master really will sit next to her and help her out.
