Friendly Fire (Io Nk Levi Sin)

CoRin didn't know which was worse. The sight of seeing a ninja break down like this or his grammar. She shrugged that off. At the moment she felt like the only truly horrible thing was her lack of emotional support to her student right now. But good grief he used 'they was' three time and never bothered to correct himself. This coming from a boy who was raised by maids and butlers? Tisk Tisk son.

"Woah that's terrible!" She placed her hands on his shoulders and released her jutsu. "You remembered something eh? Interesting. Is there anything you need, anything I can do for you?"

Wiping his eyes with his sleeves he would feel Corin hand on his shoulder. He still didn't feel good and just wanted to be alone but he had to finish learning how to control the fire nature sooner or later and now was most likely the best time to do it. The words that came out of his mouth wasn't leave me alone or just go instead it was something else.  "Yeah..there's something you can do." Standing up still with watery eyes he would try and force a smile on his face. "We should continue right? Its what you would do after all something like this shouldn't stop me." It was painfully obvious he didn't want to continue but if this was important for the village he would finish this no matter what.

Once he was prepared again he would begin to take deep breaths and felt the heat once again spread through his body. "Ready"

CoRin stuck her hands into her pockets, and looked off to the horizon. Her face didn't really give anything away, and even if it did with the make up there was no way to tell what was on her mind. "Yeah." She announced reluctantly. It was exactly what she would do. "But sometimes what I do isn't always right."

What she does is absolutely always just, but not always right. Keep that in mind.

Still he was lucky to get that much out of her to be honest.

She shrugged with her hands still in her pockets and began to walk away. As she did so she threw a hand up over her shoulder. "Just come see me when you're alright. No rush." Even a fencepost like her could tell when a person wasn't up for something. All this training was for him, so if he wasn't ready for it then there was no rush.

He felt it, he felt the fllames released from his mouth in a big puff. The flames shot out quickly even though it wasn't as big as he had expected to be.  "I did it.." he said half heartedly as he sat back down on the rock still a little depressed.  He pretty much completed the objective of the day nothing much left for him to do? He could try to learn a jutsu but he didn't feel like it he didn't feel like doing anything right now except walking so he walked towards Corin of course.  "Hey look I'm sorry about thst freak out earlier it just...it happened so sudden and I owe you a thanks I probably couldn't have learned how to control it without you. So I really am in your gratitude." Here comes the awkwardness he couldn't help it I mean he wasn't good at making friends especially ones Like Corin and Li..but he couldn't really figure out if li and him were actually friends but he knew Corin was and he was glad.


"I guess uh...this is it? Unless you wanna go do something else like look for Li? As a team we need to hang out more otherwise we wouldn't know how we act on field...you know what forget I mentioned it was a stupid idea..." And here he was yet again more awkward silence not only that he made himself look like a complete idoit..really naking friends was hard work especially with someone who is basically like a parole officer. "Maybe I should leave.." he mumbled as he was thinking out loud.

"It really was." CoRin would announce with a wink and a smile from over he shoulder. "Get a goodnights sleep. We'll meet in the morning and go on that mission."

She saw the down trodden look on Levi's face. She sighed internally. Stupid emotions, stupid liking people, stupid levi for making her care! "Okay look." She announce spinning around with her hand on her hip. "I'll take you someplace radical if you wipe that stupid sad look of your face."

Super Gentle CoRin Good job.

"Scratch that." She announced waving her hands frantically and walking back towards levi. "Right now you are down and out, and feeling really cruddy. But I just want you to know I consider you my, buddy. And that's what this village is about Levi. What we're about, as ninja of the rain. The world has chewed us up and spit us out, and here we are. Still kicking, rebuilding, making friends." She pointed her finger to the sky. "The rain, cold and damp as it is, is good. It nurtures us and helps us grow. Not just you, but me too." She nodded really getting into what she was saying. "Right now we're all just seeds. Weak and vulnerable, scattered far and away from our family and home. We're lost and scared, and it feels like we're drowning in the rain.

But We're not.

We're sprouting in the Rain, Levi.

From the ashes of our pasts" Some more literal than others. "You and I are growing. And even though right now you and I can only see the clouds one day we're going to breach them, and see the sun."

If levi ever spoke of this she'd kill him.

With that she'd stuff her hands back into her pockets and wonder off. Before tossing her head over her shoulder and asking. "Are you coming or not?"

"Stupid sad look..." Levi had mumbled to himself.  She was right tho, Levi shouldn't live in the past not much like he could remember it. Levi listen to what Corin had to say which sorta surprised him. Once she had finished what she had to say he would begin to smile. He never felt this close to anyone before he just lived a lonely life full of neglect. ..huh another memory?  That's two in one day but for now he didn't worry about the past not only that he finally figure out what his ninja way was. "Hey Corin..you remember when you asked what my ninja way was? Well you used another word but I think I got one now and that is to make new memories to replace the old ones." Now actually saying it out loud it sorta sounded stupid but he didn't care after all it was a great one wasn't it?

Chuckling a bit he look Corin in the eyes. "Didn't now you was poetic...but really I'm glad I meet you that day otherwise I wouldn't still be here nor would I be the person I am now heck I probably would have went back to my boring life...but I didn't and now I think I'm starting to like y- this place even the rain."  Ok things got way to emotional there something Levi wasn't good with those things and he was glade he caught himself before finishing that sentence. Levi checks began to become red and his nose before he could say anything else he quickly covered his nose vampire style. "ACHOO!" He needed to get out of the rain now, he was getting a cold and right now following Corin was ok. "Sure, i'm coming with you as long as it's someplace warm and no rain pouring down on me." He said as he began to follow behind her. Looking back he would grin. "This place. ..is good to build my shop huh?" He had thought to himself as he sneezed again.

"Probably not." CoRin announced as she advanced into the jungle.

(Long Jungle Exposition)

With a final whack from a machete that she'd pulled out of nowhere in particular, corin would spread apart the leafs that blocked their view. With a grandiose swoop of her hand she'd spread the leaves apart and reveal a hot spring in the middle of the jungle. "Behold!" She would announce unhooking a buckle from her armor and letting it all suddenly clatter to the ground. Still having on her bra and boyshorts. She'd belly flop right into the bubbling clear waters of the spring. She let out a sigh, but the only sign of it were the bubbles coming up from the water.

It wasn't any drier than any other place in ame, but man was it warm!

(I dunno. I...I just don't know)

Levi followed Corin for a while well he didn't have a watch or any time telling equipment on him but it felt like hours of them just aimlessly walking through the jungle. He didn't know where corin was taking him he didn't care as long as it was warm and there was no rain falling on him. She had continued to chop through the leaves and bushes...they were ninja, why didn't they just go over it like through the trees? Anyway it didn't matter now once it seemed Corin had finished chopping through the leaves she said behold.  "Behold what?" Levi finally said as he had walked through the opening.  The air became warmly moist once he had entered through and seeing the spring he knew where he was taken to, a hot spring but why? He specifically said a dry place but he didn't care about that now. 

"This is bad..." Levi thought to himself as he watched Corin stripped her armor and dress of and jumped in the water. "Yeah....she is serious about this." Well there was mainly two reasons why this was classified as bad. Firstly Corin is a female and Levi isn't good around females as they can easily break through his emotional state and know she had brought him hear after he had almost let that emotional side of him slip out. Second if he had to get into the water he would have to remove his clothes which he was fine doing that alone but there was another reason why he didn't remove them..mainly his shirt. On his back were multiple marks that had most defiantly came from a whip which he wasn't fond of sharing because he couldn't remember how he got them. He would however remove his boots, jacket, and knit cap allowing his hair to fall over his face. He would walk over to the edge and place his feet in the water only. There was also another reason he didn't get into the water, he never in his entire life went swimming. It's not that he didn't know how to swim its just he never tried it or well he probably did and he just couldn't remember. "Corin how did you find this place exactly? " he had shouted loud enough for her to hear since she was underwater.

Felt so good. She could just feel the stress inside of her body melting away into the water, that may have just been her makeup. She moved her body and got into a siting position inside of the hot spring and let out a loud sigh. "I dunno." She announced taking the running her hand over her face, water proof makeup still in place. "I guess I just figured if we went far enough into the jungle we'd find something interesting. And I wasn't wrong!" CoRin planned out very few things in her life. Most of what she did was all improv.

Levi didn't seem too interested it taking a dip, CoRin noticed. Man even when she was trying to bond with someone she couldn't get that right. Such was the life of justice. Just, but lonely. She sunk a little into the springs, and let out a soft moan. This place was great. "I guess We'll just stay for a few minutes." She announced feeling her skin tingle from the steam of the spring. "We've got a big mission tomorrow. Can't stay up too late." She could have stayed forever, but she could tell Levi was uncomfortable for some reason. She didn't know why she cared, but she did. It was better to make up an excuse, and protect his knightly honor.

CoRin gave a final nod and began to sink underneath the surface of the water.

After all tomorrow as the big day.

Levi knew he was killing the mood. He felt like an asshole for not getting in the springs when corin went and traveled through the jungle well...wandered through the jungle and ended up finding this place just for them to hangout.  Earlier she called him her buddy other than student, or teammate,  or thief but he figured she was just doing that to cheer him up  but now he knew she meant it. "Keep doing things like this and I might actually  like you more..." That was the truth even if he didn't say it you could tell by the smile on his face that he actually had fun even though he had a breakdown earlier.  Levi was lucky to find interesting people like Corin and Li and with their ever so growing village he couldn't wait to meet more people he could trust and care about..maybe even those people can replace the empty memories maybe they could become his new family but these were just mere dreams and hopes. Corin had was really close to breaking his barrier the barrier that he had put around himself to block others out if the barrier was actually physical and real one would most likely see it cracking more and more. 

Looking around the area he would notice a opening big and roomy. A idea popped into his head as he thought of what this place could be to attract tourist. A hot springs resort in the rain! They would have to clean up the area maybe place a glass structure around the area connected to the resort hotel and...heh Levi can always find a way to make money of off something could be a good or bad skill but if it was a success, Ame can start to receive more tourist and income. He would look back at Corin who has now went back underwater and would sigh. "Maybe we should just keep this place a secret until then..Corin did find this place for us to hangout and not a bunch of strangers." He thought as he would pull out the bear hooded blanket and a pillow. "I guess I'll sleep here don't feel like walking back and if we do I have a 
feeling we might not find this place again." He said as he would go inside the 
opening that was on the side of a cliff? Giant boulder? Didn't matter to him now, he was tired. He would also leave two of the blankets out for Corin which was for her to dry off when she had got out of the springs. The blankets of course would probably be something of her liking well what was closest match to her. A prideful lion hooded blanket for a prideful justice face painted kunoichi.
