The Climb [Private]

Kiyomi could feel the pain in her chest as her legs pumped hard, pushing her forward into a full out run. She was given the all-clear a few days ago to resume her duties as a ninja. The poor woman had fallen sick from some sort of respiratory disease that just couldn't be cured right away. This unknown assailant kept her locked away at home for months and she was starting to deteriorate because of it. Kiyomi felt weak during those bedridden days, she hated it so much and she cursed herself daily about it. She honestly thought she wouldn't ever get well and that the sickness would take her at some point, so she was more than happy when she began to feel better until she was well enough to finally leave home. Kiyomi in those bedridden days could see that she was taking life for granted and not living up to her full potential, she was a burden on her husband and the village. Now that she was free she would no longer squander the life she has and would dedicate herself to training and striving towards her goal of getting strong enough to at the very least fight off some measly sickness. She felt free as she continued to run around the track of the training facility. Kiyomi had invited Kizmaru to join her but she wouldn't stand around and do nothing while she waited, she needed to knock the rust off her body and get those muscles working. Having been out so long a simple run was daunting on her but she would not be giving up. Her sports bra was working in overtime to try and contain the calamities that were her mammaries which really only added weight to this training giving her even more strength to work with. Running a full five laps she could already feel the sweat forming on her face, her breathing becoming more ragged as she slowed to pace herself. She couldn't stop, not yet, at least she had to keep running until Kizmaru showed up.

Arriving at the track, Kizmaru was bit out of breath himself seeing as he hadn't heard from his wife in such a very long time. He was quite excited to find her healthy once again, dropping all work and responsibilities for the time being. He knew he would get an earful later from his receptionist but he didn't care as long as he could spend time with his lover. Wearing his usual attire, Kizmaru was dressed with a yellow button down shirt, black pants and wearing his ninja tabi. This time however, he decided to wear his yellow and blue tie when he decided to visit his wife at the training facility. As usual, he was wearing his Jounin Flak jacket, with his weapon pouch fastened around his waist in case he needed to practice with his throwing weapons. Looking around the area, Kizmaru went to see if he could find his wife since she didn't tell him where specifically in the complex she would be. After checking a few of the training rooms, Kizmaru had went out back to the large track and field area to find his wife running along the tracks. He should have figured this was one of the first places she would go.

Smirking to himself, Kizmaru went back into the training facility to find himself a pen and a piece of paper. Writing on the paper, Kizmaru wrote the words, 'send nudes' before turning it into a paper airplane. He then went back to the track and field area with the paper airplane in hand and lightly threw it in the direction of Kiyomi. Watching soar through the air was perfect as he could not hold in his anticipation. When all was said and done, the paper airplane had poked the voluptuous female on her shoulder. Kizmaru brought both of his hands to his face, take utmost concentration to stifle back the laughter he could barely contain.

She was in the zone. The world around her had blanked out as she felt the fire in her lungs and the heat in her spread. She hadn't felt this free in a long time and even ignored the message that hit her. Coming around the bend she spotted her darling husband and quickly picked up the pace to greet him. The paper airplane never made it to her but that didn't mean she was any less happy to see him. Upon reaching him she slowed down but she did not stop her running posture. Violet strands of her were placed neatly back in her high ponytail before greeting Kizmaru. " Hello Dear, I'm glad you could make it. care to join me for a run? " Her thicker bits still jiggled as she ran in place, a smile on her face as she extended the offer to her darling husband. They could talk and run together but if he had another plan for them she would happily jump aboard.

Much too his surprise, Kizmaru had noticed the paper airplane he folded had indeed collided into his wife but had only to have it completely make it past her awareness. Well, that's not a good thing at all for a Kiri shinobi to be lacking awareness. Anybody could easily kidnap her or worse. Well either way, the joke was probably funnier in his head and he decided he would let it go as his wife had finally spotted him and decided to jog towards him in order to greet him. Kizmaru couldn't help but notice as she made her way towards him, she happened to 'bounce' all over the place, giving him a pleasant view. Even when stopping in front of him, she continued to 'bounce' in place as she greeted and addressed him. He was quite lost in his daydream of various lewd poses and outfits he had thought of making her perform and wear. Nodding his head, Kizmaru had snapped himself back to reality as he somewhat remember his wife mentioning jogging with her. It had been a long time since he's did any outdoor activity with her so he figured he would accompany her around the track a few laps until she couldn't handle it anymore. 

"I'd love to join you on this run, it would be nice to spend sometime with you Kiyomi. Shall we," Kizmaru said lightly slapping her buttocks with his right hand, wrapping it around her waist. He then proceed walk her to the track in order for them to begin their jog, listening to what she had to say if she spoke to him along the way there.

Kiyomi smiled as she started her jog alongside her husband. She had come to realize that a long stretch of time had gone by and she was hit with a realization. one that caused her to slow her jog into a walk around the seventh lap. She didn't think she actually wanted to be a ninja anymore, maybe she was just happy being a stay at home wife and having his children. She felt herself getting sick, she didn't want to admit that to him, she didn't want to admit that her parents already had her on the path that she didn't want when she was younger. " I don't feel good. I think I need a bit more rest. I'll see you at home. " Giving Kizmaru a peck on the cheek she walked off the track and made her way back to the Yuki compound.

Taking a nice relaxing jog with his wife, he noticed she wasn't much for conversation. She was probably lost in her own thoughts or something as they went around the track. He decided, he too, would be lost in his own thoughts as they made his way around the track. Thinking back on his life, Kizmaru seems to have come along way form being a genin until now. It seems as if it was just yesterday he had taken the role of Mizukage for the first time when a considerable amount of time had past, at least to him. He assumed everybody else views him as a naive child, being thrust into the the savage hell hole that is known as the shinobi world. He was sure people expected him not to last very long, hell, even he didn't think he'd last very long but here he was still trudging along as if nothing could touch him. Well it was to be expected for a man in his position after surviving quite a few ordeals, even without realizing it at the time events were happening. Realizing all this, Kizmaru couldn't help but give a faint chuckle under his breath before being pulled back to the reality from the sound of his wife telling him she didn't feel good.

He asked if she was okay and her response was she was going to go home to rest for a little while. Well, this soured Kizmaru's mood a little bit as he wanted to spend a little more time with her. Couldn't be helped, he assumed. Kizmaru decided that since he was still here, he'd make his way around the track one more time before heading into the training facility to perform some stretching exercises. Heading back in the building, Kizmaru picked a secluded spot to be in for his exercises. Standing upright, he began to lean his upper body forward, bending over in an attempt to touch his toes, straightening out his back and making it as limber as he possibly could. Followed by straightening his body up before leaning backwards as far as he could, bobbing as best as he could but not too much since he didn't want to leave any discomfort when aligning his spine. Putting some finishing touches on his exercises, Kizmaru decided that this was enough for him and he proceeded to give himself a little break before returning to his office.
