[thread] The First Test [Sachiko, Kureno]

[yuuhi_kureno]

Kureno stood at the training grounds he met Sachiko at from time to time to help her with her mindwalking training. It was a bit unusual for him to be waiting for her, as he'd come to have a routine of letting her get warmed up before he showed. It had come to feel not so much like he was late, but that she had a responsibility to be ready for

Kureno's presence at the training field before she got there surprised Sachiko; she was used to getting there and having time to warm up before he showed up. On time, at least, else it would be eerily similar to training with Kaka-sensei again. She had figured this would be yet another training session squeezed in when she wasn't doing team stuff with Asuka-taichou and the others. Obviously, it was not.

A sentiment reinforced by the shiny pink paper bunny he held gently in his fingers, and the very serious way he told her what it was.

Which meant despite the childish girliness of the origami, she had to take it just as seriously. Her eyes flicked from the bunny to Kureno's face as she tried to puzzle out what he was doing and why it required a bunny.

"...Sensei?"

"I've written a time and date on the inside of this paper. Your objective is to retrieve it from me, and you can only use genjutsu to do it

A test where she could only use genjutsu, and doujutsu was legal? ...It would help if she knew more about his doujutsu. Worry about that later. Right-center pocket was where the bunny was, and she had six hours of seven days to relieve him of it. It helped that the whole village was fair game--it meant that while he would be expecting an assault, he won't have a definitive idea of where it would come from, just a vague sense of when.

The fact it would be a genjutsu that would solely affect Kureno's mind made it both easier and harder at the same time. Easier because making a genjutsu to affect many minds took more time and energy. She wouldn't forget this was Kureno, however. At least it wasn't her sister. No, no, he didn't say it was to only affect his mind; he said that no one is to be harmed excepting himself and her.

Hmmm....

Now, now, don't be stupid, she chided herself. As much fun as it might be to imagine getting a little non-painful revenge on a few people, it wasn't worth the consequences of getting caught. Didn

...That was the best you had?

Well wasn't that an interesting look on her face. Kureno was looking forward to seeing if she'd be able to justify it.

"Ten a.m. to four p.m. for the next seven days, unless I specifically instruct otherwise at the end of the day. Your time begins as soon as you say you're ready to begin."
