Some fun in the village [open]

Kuro carefully slipped inside of a small clothing shop, looking around to make sure no one was watching him before using the simple transformation technique, turning himself into a mannequin and standing still. People walked by without noticing the extra fake person model. As he sat motionless and waited for a few minutes before Vixie came into the store, sniffing around. The fox ignored the people who stared at the non-native creature and continued tracking her master. When she reached the disuised Kuro, she sata down and stared up at him, her tail swishing slightly, knowing she had found him. Kuro didn't move however, wanting to see if Vixie would give up. Instead, the large fox leaped up onto him and knocked him to the ground, forcing him out of his transformation. Kuro laughed and hugged Vixie before getting up and running out of the store. "Come on Vixie, let's go see what kind of friends we can make in this town!"

Amaya Retsuno, the space/time genin, wandered through the village. The title she had just given herself didn't totally fit at the moment, because she only had one jutsu of the kind. She would need more of course to be worthy of being called that as well as the prodigy she knew she could be. She was being thoughtful about what exactly there was to learn, and started practicing the hand seals for flicker movement. It was a jutsu she may or may not have slipped into the official jutsu office at the Kage's office, on nothing but pure conjecture that it would work. However, simply coming up with an idea wasn't enough. To fully realize the idea and press it forward into an action was what she needed to do. Space time jutsu were immensley difficult to learn, however, as they required one to draw energy from the cosmos itself, which was no small feat in itself. Lower tricks were occasionally just a minor pull on that cosmic force, and ninjutsu to back up what she was unable to do. She wanted to be the best at space time jutsu however, so all of her techniques had to be one hundred percent fabric of time ripping coolness, and not just some flashy tricks. She sighed as she went through the seals, lost in thought when all of a sudden a boy came charging out of a store with his pet fox. Should he not pay attention, he would slam right into her!

James was wondering the town, hoping to learn some jutsu of his specialty. His rank up to genin had him decide to choose a specialty that seemed to be the strongest, the space/time speciality. He looked up, as he was walking, and saw a guy about his age, running straight out of a store, with a fox on his tail, and running straight at a girl  who was only three feet from him.
Immediately, he turned and got straight in front of the girl, bracing himself for impact. 
"Please see me, please see me." James thought, bracing for impact.

[twc 100, hey Kuro, what happens if you get lightning through your body, -from Dagger Uchiha]

Kuro's eyes widened as he saw the people in front of him. He smashed into James with enough force to push him into Amaya and knock all three of the ninja into a pile, Vixie stopping and watching as Kuro pushed himself off of them with a laugh. "Ahahaha, nice pile up! Oh man I missed being around enough people for that to happen!" Kuro dusted himself off and grinned at the people he ran into. "Anyways, sorry about that. My name's Kuro! This is cutie here is Vixie." Kuro gestured to vixie with one hand and the fox seemed to smile a bit at the strangers as he introduced her. "Who are you two?"

Amaya eeps as she is knocked down with another boy thrown on top of her from trying to protect her. All he did was cause more damage in the end. When Kuro got up, Amaya huffed a bit, dusting off her coat and straightening her hair. "Hey watch it! I am trying to get some training done and people running into me doesnt help!"
She hadn't meant to seem rude but he had unterupted her train of thought pretty badly and she couldn't remember quite what subject she had been on. "My name is Amaya, who are you?"
She assumed the other boy would give his name after whatever words he had with the boy so Amaya didn't address him just yet. She did manage to return to her train of thought, however, that flicker movement jutsu. She mentally went over the signs and figured that if these two were going to be ramming into her, perhaps they would become good test subjects to try it on. She didn't quite have any one else around to help her, but she didn't know this boy with the blue coat. He didn't look like any Konoha genin she had ever seen, which means his level of power was uknown to her. Thats wasn't always a good way to go into something, to spar an opponent and know nothing about them. She would have to study him carefully in these next few minutes and hopefully she would at least see a way to beat him if they sparred.

James groaned, as the guy his age barrel him into the girl he had been trying to be nice to. The guy got off of him and the girl got out from where he landed on top of him, James decided to stay on the ground. It was nice there, and didn't require him to try and help somebody else.
He listen to both of them introduce themselves and he then said, "I'm worthless, just leave me here to die. Let the vultures pick my bones."
James then proceeds to fake like he died, with a bunch of spasms and groans, and a few heart-felt tears.

"Oh I wouldn't do that if I was you James. I don't see any vultures around but-" Before he could finish, Vixie laid down and held James's arm in her front paws so she could start gnawing on his arm. "Vixie will eat your flesh if you don't wanna use it." Vixie's tail wagged as she started eating the kid's arm, her sharp teeth drawing blood after she found a good biting spot. Kuro turned to Amaya, letting James decide whether or not he wanted to be fox food for himself. "And you said training. Running into people is probably the best way to get some training in. I'll help you train! You can practice moves on me all you want! You too if you want mister dramatic."

Ryugia stood on top of the store the Kid with the fox had just come out of. He watch the events unfold with a slight smile. It was quite comical really. The kid came barreling out with no sense of what was in front of him, and Amaya wasn't paying enough attention to react in time. James however... he saw promise in the kid. The way he jumped in front of Amaya taking the brunt of the impact, that was a trait Ryugia held high. Ryugia, still trying to form a genin squad made a mental note to watch his progression, and see if he could be of use. With all his speed he flipped down, with one turn, landing gracefully on the ground behind The kid with the fox. He put an arm around his shoulder. "If you could please call your fox off of my friend, I would be most appreciative. Letting our animals chew on people isn't a common custom around here." Ryugia said smiling. He didn't know this kid, but from what his sharingan had told him when evaluating him, he was strong. He had an immense amount of chakra. He moved to stand over by Amaya. "You alright Amaya?" He said addressing his friend. His gaze shifted to the other ninja on the ground who's arm was in the jaws of the fox. Blood trickled down his arm, which put Ryugia on edge. He didn't like seeing his friends hurt, and any leaf village shinobi is a friend of his.

Amaya was still a little irritated but at Ryugia's arrival, she looked up at him to acknowledge him. "Yes I am fine."
Then looking at Kuro she crossed her arms and shook her head. "If you wanna help me train thats fine, but I really think you should call off the fox. The anbu here can be a little stingy and they may take offense to it."
Amaya had the feeling the boy wasn't from around here, though it didnt really matter to her. If he would be nice and call off his fox, Amaya wouldn't mind training with him.

James saw the fox coming towards him, and he smiled. 
"Look, the fox likes me," James thought, then heard Kuro say something about not doing what he was doinig, and he realized what Kuro meant as the fox layed down and started to try and gnaw at his arm.
"Oh what a cruel world," James said, dramatically, taking his free hand and laying it over his forehead, "Too think, eaten alive by a familiar. Oh,the irony. Those that fight along side us, eating our flesh when we die."
The fox, Vixie, managed to gnaw on James's arm hard enough to make it bleed and he yanks his arm out. 
"Sorry, foxy, but this arm is needed for the greater cause." James said, as he stood up. He dusted off imaginary dust and said, "I'm up for training. Maybe foxy over here versus the anbu that Amaya was talking about. I vote the fox."
He then proceeds to dance around the fox, pretending to keep a wide circle. He smiles and says, while looking at Kuro, "Okay, so as the person who decided to tackle me, I think you owe me a new jutsu."
"Preferably, my spec which is space/time." James looks over to Amaya and says, "And as I tried valiantly to save you, you also should teach me a space/time jutsu."
Looks at the third person,and says, "Who are you?"
He then smiles and says, "You can teach me a jutsu as well, no matter who you are."
