A Girl Worth Fighting For [P, Training]

The doctor told her she should take it easy but Kiyomi didn’t see it that way. If she could be useful in just one way she was going to strive to do so. Being in a coma for so long her muscles had deteriorated quite a bit. She was weak and everything she did was a struggle. Today was the first of many days to get herself back in tip-top shape. She hoped she would be presentable when her husband came back but she wouldn’t stress herself over it. Checking the time she counted out the seconds before she began stretching. First, she started with her arms, pushing them forward and downward for a few seconds before pulling them upwards and backward. She heard a few pops from her joints as she had done this but it didn’t bother her. Once those stretches were done she started on windmills by stretching her arms outwards on her sides and spinning them around in a windmill motion. It was onto the next stretching exercise as she hugged herself, her arms stretching around her body which was particularly stressful due to her large bosom. She was thankful that no one but her was in this area of the training facility as she wanted to be alone with her thoughts as she went about her way stretching. Bending her body over she touched her toes a few times before getting into her leg stretches.

For as many times as she did her arms and upper half she was going to do her legs. Kiyomi was already feeling the burn and that's because she hadn't stopped until she could feel the burn. Her stretches were going to be as intense as the workout she was going to put herself through. Putting on a leg in front of her and one leg slightly behind the other, she bent her front-facing leg forward. This stretch was to help get the calves all nice and stretched out. It would do her absolutely no good if she had caught a cramp there. Switching legs she continued on with this stretch before getting back into a neutral position. Taking in a few deep breaths Kiyomi bent her knees a few times before straightening up and pulling her right leg in a way that it was behind her with her hand holding it in place as her heel touched her butt. She held that position for a while before switching to her other foot and doing the same thing. Once her stretches were all done she went over to the large track and began to run around that for about an hour. In that time her cousin happens to come in and greet her, the two running together as they caught up on old times and current events.

They had to have been running for at least two hours. So much time had passed since the last time they saw each other that the whole conversation was taking Kiyomi's mind off the run itself. The two would have probably still been running had it not been for a little alarm that went off from her friend. The alarm was to let her know it was time to take care of some other business and Kiyomi could respect that. The two said their goodbyes and Kiyomi jogged off of the track and into the weight room. The Yuki woman began doing a few arms stretches before she picked up two twenty-five pound dumbells and began to lift them up and down before she put them on the ground and used them to aid her in a few sets of pushups. She was really starting to feel the burn in her chest and she began to focus on her breathing. It was getting harder the more she did but her goal was a stronger motivator than the rising pain. Sweat dripped from her causing her skin to glisten, it cooled her down a bit but not enough for her to notice. Once she was done with the weights she put them back and began some situps. It was a little harder to do without help but she managed. Being bedridden for so long was really doing a number on her body and she could only hope to regain the strength that she had before.

Sweat soaked through her black tank top and dripped down her face and into a pool on the floor. Her workout continued until she was in need of a break. Grabbing a towel she wiped her body down and grabbed herself a bottle of water before taking a seat on one of the benches. The water was cool and refreshing. It was so perfect that she felt instantly rejuvenated as if the water had been pumped with chakra and pulled from the freshest, purest, clearest mountains springs that were also blessed by a goddess. Why was this water so god damn good? She needed answers but first, she needed another bottle. Downing the first one like she was dying of thirst she quickly ran to get another bottle. Opening it up she downed that one too and was fully quenched. Now she could go back to her exercise one which included her being in the pool. Walking over to the showers she gave herself a quick wash up before putting on a one-piece bathing suit and heading over to the large swimming pools. Jumping in she took a few laps before diving beneath the water. She kept up her laps but held her breathe. Her plan was to build up that lung capacity and stamina. She was like a dolphin as she swam around, for one minute, two, five, ten, fifteen before coming up for air.

Kiyomi stayed in the water, practicing holding her breath, seeing how fast she could swim, and then trying to go faster. Her muscles didn't hurt as much when doing these things in the water but she felt the pressure and she could tell that water training was much more effective. At some point, she found herself shadow boxing under the water. Each punch being held back only pushed her to punch harder. She didn't have to worry about sweat because the water was doing a great job at cooling her off. Every so often she would come up for air, soon it was like she was lost in time with how long she could stay under. She was advancing very quickly and but she really didn't notice. Five hours later and she was finally pulling herself out of the pool water. Moving over the showers she washed fully this time. She would call it a day with her training and come back tomorrow. She still felt like she had the energy to keep going but she had to remind herself that she shouldn't do anything that would hurt her and basically undo all she had done. Now that she was coming down off that training high she felt a rumble in her stomach and decided that before she went home she would need to grab a bite to eat.

It was a brand new day and she could feel the workout from yesterday in her bones. All that moving around had her sore and she really didn't want to go to the training facilities again but she knew she had to. There was no getting around progress and with that in her mind, she got out of bed and cleaned herself upright and proper. Pinning her hair up in a neat bun she grabbed something light to eat and headed out the door. As she enjoyed her apple she jogged to the training facilities and by the time she got there she had finished her apple. Greeting a few of her Kiri colleagues before going into the building she made her way to the virtual simulation room she had been hearing so much about. Apparently one could set it to anything they wanted and since their whole body would be moving in a safe secured room they could do as they pleased and wouldn't get hurt. Kiyomi was excited to try this out and when she went into the all-white room she was filled with awe. Another shinobi who oversaw the room helped get the equipment on her and set it up so she could be in control. For a moment she didn't know what she wanted to do, but she soon found herself in a lush green forest with different flora and fauna. It was breathtaking and she was about to let her guard down until she heard a blood-curdling sound.

The scream shook her to the core and she felt her flight or fight instincts go clean off. She hardly ever had a reason to feel fear for most of her life so this got to her pretty bad. Self-preservation kicked in though and she found herself running through the beautiful forest away from the sound. She wasn't about to find out what made that sound and she wasn't going to try to fight it by going its way either. Her feet carried her for who knows how long because at some point she was hearing the sound from all around her and she couldn't figure out where she should run. Nothing was familiar to her so she felt trapped until she ran right into a clearing. The clearing was full of different creatures and they all looked at her for what felt like forever. The tension was thick in the air and the only thing that cut it was that goddamn screaming sound. The creatures must have known something she did not because they immediately ran away. Without missing a step she ran with them but when she got to the edge of the clearing and would have been in the forest she was knocked back by some force that she couldn't see. It seemed like a barrier was placed as she got up and felt the place where she hit.
