Training At the Rocks (Ren and Mukoro)

Reverie Hyuuga had spent the last couple of days travelling all the way from Kirigakure to Iwagakure. She had avoided Konoha completely and went through the Sound village. She was going to Suna after she left Iwa, so she would eventually have to cross into the country of fire if she wanted the shortest route. The girl sighed. Today was set aside for training. She knew from the locals that many ninja trained in these rocks, so she had decided to wait for one to train with. Ren was smart enough to take off her headband, as she didn't want to be attacked for being from a different village.

Ren had her long purple hair up in a high ponytail and she was wearing a plain, black tank top and matching shorts. She had black ninja sandals on and she kept her ninja tools (such as kunai and shuriken) in the pouch at her waist.

She sat cross-legged on the warm rocks, soaking up the sun with her eyes closed and her breath regular. The girl relaxed while still keeping her senses alert for other people.

Muk decided to train his physical self today. This would involve speed and strength. He started off with balancing his body. He was standing on a rock in the stone desert in Iwagakure. He was looking around. The temperature was hot. Muk undid his shirt and threw it off of him. He clasped his hands together as he concentrated. He released his hands and looked at the pillar under him. He put both his hands on it whilst still standing. He shaped all his weight on his hands as he was making a handstand on the pillar. He was looked at the pillar as his feet were in the air. He needed to keep this balance for 5 seconds. At least this was his goal. After 3 seconds his arm started to tremble. He managed to keep it up for 5 seconds and dropped the pose. He fell forwards as he slid off the huge pillar. He made a somersault in the air and dropped on the ground he fell roughly 4 meter.

Muk was laying on the ground panting a bit. His back was a bit sore. "Ugh.. shouldn't dropped myself from the pillar" He thought by himself as he tried to stand up. He was still laying on the ground and decided to lay there for a moment. The sand was clasping on his sweaty back. As he was laying on his back he saw a girl sitting on the rocks. 'If her legs weren't crossed I might see her panties!' Would Muk be thinking off as he was staring at the legs of the girl.

(Oh great, Muk is a perv... XD)

Ren snapped open her eyes, as she felt the presence of another person. She saw the boy a couple feet away from herself and took a deep breath. She wasn't good with guys... The shy girl got up slowly, mentally preparing herself for whatever personality he had. She hoped that for her sake that he was nice. She walked over, and took another deep breath before uttering the first couple of words.

"H-Hello. My name is Reverie, though people usually call me Ren, since Reverie is long... Sorry for rambling, I'm just a little shy.." Ren paused, then said her next sentence. "Um, would you consider training with me? I just need to work on... Well everything, but I figured that we could do speed and maybe strength?" She looked down. She really hated talking to people, so this wasn't fun at all.

She waited for his response and ran through things that she could do to train in her mind. Running laps would help her speed training, while maybe lifting rocks and moving them would train her strength? She wasn't quite sure and Reverie didn't want to do training alone, anyways. It was boring and no one was there to push her to her limits. The girl wished she had worn something a little less revealing, now that she thought about it.

((Sorry for the late, was a bit drunk yesterday )

Muk turned his body around as he stood up. His back had a few scratches from the fall from the pillar. He nodded as the girl introduced herself so quickly. "Ah, nice to meet you Ren. My name is Mukoro Sa--" He wanted to say Sarutobi but decided not to. "Taito" He said instead. "Nice to meet you, Ren. You just can call me Muk if you want to." He would finish the sentence with a smile. Muk shrugged as the Ren noted that she was a bit shy. "It's okay you don't have to talk allot. You can let your body talk if you want to." Muk meant facial expressions and such. Muk nodded at her question to train together. He was already training on his own so why wouldn't her train with her? "Sure, let's run for about 10 minutes?" He asked her gently wanting to start moving his feet. Muk was already starting to jump up and down to get his heart to beat a bit faster.

"Sure. And it's nice to meet you too." Ren replied politely and smiled a tiny bit. She noticed that he was jumping a little and came to the decision that he was waiting for her to start. The girl turned on her heel and faced the other way, quickly mapping out a route around rocks and nodding to herself.

Ren started running, slowly at first to wait for him to catch up. She figured that he was faster than her, as she had not really trained hard for the past month and her body was used to relaxing by now. The girl wondered if Muk was an Iwa ninja, since she had not really looked at him, she did not see a forehead protector. Ren's own headband was in her backpack that sat against a rock somewhere in the large area. She wasn't quite sure where it was, but she could find it with her Byakugan, so Ren wasn't all that worried.

She looked back to see if Muk had started running or not, and didn't see where she was going for a second. The girl stumbled over the rock, but caught her balance and did not fall. She then kept her eyes forewords and didn't look back again. She was clumsy and she really hoped that she wouldn't fall and make a fool of herself. That would not be a good first impression...

Muk smiled as Ren got the clue. He was wondering how long they would last if they kept running. Muk could manage about 15 minutes easily. He jumped up and down again as he saw that Ren started to run. He stretched his shoulders a bit and followed her. He decided to let Ren chose the pace as he would follow her. Muk still was running around with no shirt. It was always hot here. Muk continued to follow Ren as the hot sand clasped to his feet. After a few minutes He noticed Ren trying to spot him. Not for long though since she tripped but managed to continue to run. Muk shrugged. "You don't have to worry about me" He said as he closed in and was running next to her. Muk learned that she was a bit clumsy after seeing her nearly trip over a rock. Muk smiled after walking for 8 minutes. He slightly started to breath heavy after all that running. "Is there anything you'd like to do after running?" He asked Ren gently and very friendly.

Muk eyed the girl. She didn't respond. Maybe she was talking non verbally? He wasn't too sure. After a few moments Muk panted again. He yawned and stretched his back. He got on the floor and put his hands onto the ground allong with the tip of his toes. He stretched his back and went up and down. Doing push-ups. Muk needed to get stronger physically to beat his opponents more swiftly. After around 20 push-ups Muk was tired and stopped making more of them. He stretched his back and yawned as he got up and grabbed a towel from a pillar. He had left that towel there before. He pulled his shirt of and put the towel around his neck and licked his lips. He was thirsty and he was done with his work out. He grabbed his shirt with one hand and walked away from Ren ignoring her a bit. He was pretty careless now and walked home. He went into his shower and then took a long bath cleaning the sweat of him.
