Teaching a Spark to Ignite [Julienne]

Very well done! She was beginning to gain control over the fire swirls that were supposed to be made. As a result, she might be able to fight in battles with it, but he wanted to make sure that they were perfect. Right now, they were as good at the Great Fireball, a Crank Jutsu. But this is a B rank Jutsu, meaning that she was going to have to try a little bit harder. As the coach, though, he was more than willing to do that for her. Not bad at all! There is also size! You need to have it grow to full length. To do this, you are going to have to go through a lot of Chakra training. But for now, we can just simply use this one simple method. He would then attempt to place a marked seal onto her by grabbing the back of her hand, using his other hand to try to place it onto her palm. With that, he would then explain what he did. If you look at that, the first thing you will notice is the dot. And it's hard to look away from as well since you won't find anything else! When controlling your Chakra, you need to focus on a certain point, preferably the area where you release the Jutsu. Then you do just that Jutsu, and your chakra increases HEAVILY!

Rae blinked at Haruki. He had just touched her so casually. She glanced at him again in order to make sure that this was completely innocent. And it was. He had done it in order to increase the potential of her jutsu growing in strength with a dot. It was a weird thing to see but it definitely made sense. The girl was about to try it again with his tips but she stopped suddenly as she felt a hollow in her stomach. Looking over at Haruki she walked over to him and grabbed him by the hand. "We're going for Lunch." She announced as she pulled him into the town a long with her. Her nose had already smelled her meal for the day. Her brain had already directed her feet's movement towards the small wooden restaurant at the left of the main street. Rae hadn't realized that she was holding hands with Haruki the entire time as she dragged him along, but the people around the street had definitely noticed and were giving her confused looks and whispering about. Walking in and scanning the small restaurant for a free table Rae's eyes sparked as she successfully found one. While this barbecue place was small, it was definetly the best place for that type of food. Picking up the menu and handing it to Haruki as she sat across from him, on the other side of the table, she quickly ordered two plates of beef. "Pick whatever you like, this place is amazing." The beauty told her teammate as she beamed him an energetic fiery smile.

She would suddenly grab the hand that was used to place the mark onto her, telling him that they were going to lunch. Before given the chance, she would pull him by the hand and begin to travel through the town, the both of them running together through the streets. Haruki noticed that some people gave him and her weird looks, not that he could understand why they did that, but he did not genuinely care either. And so they would arrive at a seat, she would tell him to get whatever he wanted. While not all too hungry, he did not want her to be mad at him if he dared not do anything. And so he would go for something very simple, small in portion, yet sounded delicious. I'll have the steak! Haruki would order, and then he would look over to the other side of the table, smiling calmly as he would then give her his show of gratitude. Thanks for the food Rae. I really appreciate it. The Akari would tell her, placing hands lips into a toothy grin as he would chuckle a little bit. It was a lot of fun, being able to hang out with her rather than just training with her.

As the plates of food were brought onto the table, the waitress started cooking the food on the barbecue in front of them. Rae would then proceed to wave her off politely, telling her that she could cook them instead. "You'll find this place's food to be delicious. My nose tends to only pick up on the best restaurants." She told him as her warm crimson hues met his brown ones. While it was a boast, it was also her being extremely honest. She could easily smell good food from a mile away. As the female flipped over the little pieces of beef to cook on the other side, she smirked at the alluring aroma that it gave off. "These clothes are definitely going to the wash after this." She joked as she looked up at him, returning his toothy grin. Rae was definitely not goofy, if anyone would have to describe her, it would usually come from three words- beautiful, hot and gorgeous. Right now, in front of food, she didn't care about what image she gave off. Taking off her white coat and placing it on the side, the red-headed orphan licked her lips unconsciously as she glanced at the almost done meat. " Damn does that look good." She muttered under her breath as she picked up her chopsticks and shot Haruki another smile.

Cool! Mind showing me them whenever we go to eat! I haven't found the best ones yet. I only know this one nice Ramen shop. Haruki would ask before then explaining what he knew. But yeah, he loved Ramen, though he did not mind the steak that was on his plate. Seeing her grin brought happiness to his face, it was probably the first time he had seen her smile like that. Normally, it was so sly, like she was about to pull off some sort of prank. But now here she was, showing genuine happiness to him. After that, he would then look back to her to see if there was anything different about her other than the smile. Well, there was the fact that she took off the jacket in front of him, leaving her black top. But, clothes did not really matter to him, and so he would then continue to speak. Well, this looks great! Haruki would comment on the steak before casually eating it. Surprisingly enough, he had manners when it came to eating food in public, and would care to show those manners rather than eat it sloppily like many kids do. At least there was some hope in him maturing.

Rae smiled at Haruki's eating manners. She was having a hard time showing them right now as she tried very hard to not stuff her cheeks full of meat. When she ate alone at home she tended to look like a chipmunk. The redhead dipped the meat in a spicy sauce and placed in between her lips, sighing happily at the taste. There was definitely several guys staring at her as she ate. It annoyed her to some extend so her mind quickly devised a plan to push away the male attention. "Would you like to try some Haruki-kun? It tastes great." The kunoichi would then offer her friend some sauce-dipped beef by lifting it with her own chopsticks towards him. It was less spicy than the ramen that they had recently but it was definitely delicious in its own right. Plus if he did try it, the men who were staring at her so predatorily would have a reason to believe that she was taken and would be forced to turn away. She was almost sure that Haruki hadn't noticed the stares and probably didn't care as much but she still gave him an encouragingly sweet smile.

She would offer him a little bit of her food, not even noticing the others that were around him looking at Rae. Even if he were to somehow see them, why should he care? It was not like they were dating. Same for the chopsticks, he saw no reason to eat them the way that he had eaten food from her last time. So he would then reply to her casually. Sure, I'd love some! The Akari would tell her, placing his mouth open the way he did last time so that she would put the chopsticks in his mouth. It was a VERY indrect form of kissing, little to no contact whatsoever, and so Haruki would not even thinking of anything when it came to doing this. When he was given the chance, he just took some food, though it was an extremely spicy meal. And last time he ended up being fed by her meal... He ended up having to fan out his tongue for a few minutes before finally recovering. Once that had been thought of, he was beginning to get some second thoughts. But it had been a while of thinking, and it would probably be far too late for him to react by the time he changed his mind. Rest in Pieces Haruki.

Rae let out a small sigh of relief as she placed her chopsticks back in between her lips with another piece of meat. The male attention of earlier had quickly vanished into thin air, almost as if it wasn't there. She was certain that Haruki hadn't even noticed that he'd helped her. As she finished her meal, the girl threw some cash onto the table and gave her partner a small smile. "Did you like the place?" She asked him, resting her chin on her knuckle. The boy had never eaten here before, which probably meant that he lacked knowledge about all of the other great food places in the Village Hidden in the Sand. Rae decided that she would definitely be showing him all of her other favorite spots as well.

Afterwards The girl would proceed to tell Haruki that they should get back to training. The hot Suna sun quickly found itself gracing her skin with it's presence causing a small smirk to play on her lips. She loved Sunagakure's hot weather. It filled her up with energy. "Hmmm, lets see if I'll do better after this wonderful meal. Whenever my tummy is full I do great." She exclaimed happily as she stretched her arms.

He would nod his head in response to her question of him liking the place. The steak was great, and while he did not get too much from her meal, it was still a great place. In the end, he would give a thumbs up to her to show that he was satisfied with the meal that he had obtained from her. He would then begin to walk out with her, the sun treating his own eyes decently as they would glow in the reflection of the light. An Akari trait for sure. Once that happened, he would place his palms across his sides as he would cross his arms, smile still in place as he would then tell her to start. You got this Rae, remember everything I have told you and put it all together. Haruki would tell her, saying no more than that. Hopefully, she was able to store the lectures he gave to her head. If not, he would be more than happy to catch her up on what she had forgotten. Rae did not seem like the type to drop information so easily, though, and so he felt the need to remind her anything was non-existent. Placing his palms in his pockets, he would now watch her as she would carry out the job, hopefully with succession.

As she stepped back onto the solid dry rock of the Suna training grounds, Rae focused on going through what she had learned in the morning. The red-head had been strongly intent on getting through the Flame Whirlwind technique: a fairly difficult B-rank fire style jutsu. Closing her eyes, the girl quickly performed the hand-signs and split her chakra flow into two. Her eyes then focused on the palm of her hand where Haruki's dot lay. She then released the first stream of fire chakra, spinning it into a vortex around her before adding in the second one. The jutsu had indeed managed to reach 4 meters in diameter this time. Rae noted that when she threw it with her hands towards the rocks. She clicked her tongue. "I need to use the two streams at the same time but from the different sides of the vortex so that when they clash it expands to maximum length and increases the speed." She though out loud, glancing briefly at Haruki as she proceeded to attempt her new idea. To her utmost amusement her mentor's "focus on the dot" idea for concentration actually seemed to work quite well. It had increased the vortex range by 1,5 meters while also decreasing the amount of chakra that she spent creating it. Talk about efficient. Attempting to go through her new methodology of the jutsu and actually seeming very successful, the kunoichi then threw the huge vortex of flames towards the pile of rocks from earlier, this time sending them spinning in the air.
