Raiden shrugged off the teachers pestering, "I didn't steal, I merely borrowed," he replied his hat still covering his face. "And fatigue is a sign of a hardworking student." Here he stood and adjusted his hat. He turned before the teacher could gaze at his eyes. "Besides, it was time I got up anyway." He walked away from the teacher, passing the training grounds to his personal little garden. The nerve to call me lazy.

He began his routine warm up. But instead of working on the arduous exercises, he moved onto some yoga. But this was no ordinary enlightenment exercise. His had found 20-24 different bamboo sticks from the training area where Uchida-sensei was. He figured considering the sea of sticks she had, a few wouldn't be missed. After digging them into the ground, he sought to balance himself on top of the bamboo. Here he practised extremely difficult stances all which caused him to fall and cut himself. Regardless of the cuts and bruises, he continued anyway.

Misaki, without any hesitation followed in her master's steed toward the main buildings. Sheithing her tanto, she continued behind Ryo.

Tien watched Raiden. "Hurting yourself is no way to train... you would get much better if you started small and worked your way up." Tien said calmly as he watched Raiden fall and get back up. "It would be wise to find a teacher... you might think of yourself as a master, but there is a big difference between real skill and the arrogance of youth." Tien said as he rolled up his sleeve and showed Raiden his arm. "I used to be like you... I used to think I could take care of myself. I never thought I would need someone to show me the path to strength." Tien said showing the scars on his arm from where it had been shattered years ago. "When I lost my arm I thought I would have to give up the martial arts... I met a man who taught me to use my body to its fullest potential, despite the fact that my arm doesn't move as well as it should." Tien said as he walked over and inspected Raiden's wounds. "This 'training' that you are pursuing... it is too dangerous. If you want to learn how to get truly strong, seek me out and I will show you the path." Tien said as he walked away and continued his lesson with Ren. Ren was working on his fighting techniques with weights on his wrists and ankles.

Raiden for once heard the advice of another person, Perhaps we should consider it, and join. We would only gain from the proposition. What do we say? He brushed himself off, and caught up to Tien. "Uh Sensai," he inclined his head and grabbed his fist, "I would like to seek your guidance. Would you do me the honors and instruct me, master?"

I hope you know what your doing Raiden.

Relax, if it fails, there's always your grueling exercises, haha...

Ren turned his attention to Raiden. "Don't hold back." Ren said as he took up his preferred stance.

(Rare, didn't you want to be Tien's apprentice too?)

Misaki knelt to her left knee and bowed her head slightly in a meaning of both thanks and respect to her master.
Folding her legs underneath her, she sat slowly but softly upon the space and waited.

Ryo led Misaki to one of the dojos, where he had set up for a tea ceremony. "A simple test of patience... and a good chance to use those leaves I've been saving." Ryo thought, almost letting a smile break through his almost constantly emotionless face. Ryo knelled down and held out his hand to show Misaki that she was welcome to sit anywhere. Tien smiled and nodded his head. "You may join us." Tien said, motioning for Raiden to stand next to Ren. "We will begin by seeing what you know and what you are capable of with some sparring. Try not to kill each other." Tien said jokingly.

Ren turned his attention to Raiden. "Don't hold back." Ren said as he took up his preferred stance.

(Rare, didn't you want to be Tien's apprentice too?)

Raiden smiled bowing to the instruction of his new master, "of course." He turned towards Ren, smiling maliciously under his straw hat, "do not worry," he said under his breath, "I have no intention to."

Raiden paced back and forth as if looking for a suitable place to stand. In doing so, he removed his outer vest, revealing a body innudated with scars. He proceeded to crack the knuckles in his fist and joints in his neck. His hat, however he did not remove. Once he was satisfied with the little preparation, he took his stance. He jogged in place and raised his fist to chin level. Not one part of his body was motionless. "Whenever your ready."

This will not be a repeat of last time...

Ryo pretended to turn on the small heat plate that would boil the water, but made sure that the heat was low enough to keep the water cooking for a while. "if this isn't a good test of patience I don't know what is." Ryo thought as he sat and waited for the water to boil. Ren took a deep breath and stepped forward cautiously. "Time to go... don't panic, it's only a sparring match." Ren thought as he took another deep breath. "I'm feeling a little sick." Ren said, beginning to stumble, his stance loosening.

"You've got to be kidding me," Raiden mumbled under his breath. He turned to his side, and threw a few punches in Ren's direction to throw him off. After he blocked most of the body shots, he round house kicked his knee causing it to buckle and Ren to kneel. He kissed his knuckles and tapped Ren's right temple, "Bam"...

Saiya let out a yawn. She had served her student a small meal and sent him off to bed, where a alrge Haku lay waiting. She chuckeld softly when he whined at Yuki before he settled beside him in a light sleep. She too lay down in her bed, but was unable to find the peace of mind she longed for. Restlessly she stood, gliding towards the door. The moon reflected softly on her vibrant features as she slowly moved out the door. Her body seemed to float across to the ledge where her small home over looked the rest of Shinzinki's campus. Her eyes strained only slightly as she noticed Raiko laying asleep by the boulder. She thought for a mometn. She'd rather not have him sleep outside. It did indeed get cold out here. Heaving once more a sigh directed at the purpleish clouds in the distant night sky she closed her eyes, swiftly leapinng downwards and caching onto but another ledge.

A small smile crossed her gface as she did so. This was one of her favorite games, and did wonders for one's agility. If you moved quickly but bluntly, you would fall. If you moved slowly but carefully, you wouldnt make the jump. What more could one ask for in seeking an adrenaline rush?

As she made her way down the mountain her mind wandered. She wondere for the first time if she had been to hard on her students. They had exarted quite a bit...She paused, her thick ebony braid twisting in the now whipping wind at her back. She wore another master's hoody over a tank top and pair of black flannel pants she had thrown on to sleep in.

Finally she reached her student.

Placing a hand on his shoulder she shook him gently.

" Raiko...Hey, do you need a place to sleep? " She asked softly.

EDIT: { sorry, comp is messed up }

Ren had seen every hit coming and went along with them, hoping to throw Raiden off by pretending to be sick. Ren bent his knee to reduce the impact and moved his head along with Raiden's fist, but as he was moving he brought up a punch of his own. "What a chump, I thought for sure he would see right through the old sick fighter technique." Ren thought as his fist collided with Raiden's chin.

Raiden took the impact full blow, landing on his back, a few feet back. Come on Raiden, remember the master. Raiden remain motionless on the ground.

Ren stood and waited for Raiden to get up. "Either I won, or he is trying to use one of my own tricks against me. He better get up soon, this was just getting interesting." Ren thought as he put up his guard and waited for Raiden to stand.

Tien watched them both intently. "I see I have my work cut out for me if I am to train them to be masters. They are strong and they have talent, but they still don't understand how to utilize it to their advantage." Tien thought as he walked closer. "Raiden, are you okay?" Tien asked, sounding more sarcastic then concerned. Tien knew that Raiden was alright, but didn't know if he wanted to continue.

Misaki relaxed slightly and allowed her breathing to regulate. There was no better time than the present to meditate on upon her personal state of serenity or lack there of.

Raiden opened his eyes with a jolt that followed, "NOW!" He lunged his body forward kicking up a cloud of dirt. This was meant to recoil his enemy, an action from which he performed perfectly. Ren had recoiled so as not to let the dirt get in his eyes, allowing Raiden to power through the dust landing his clenched fist on Ren's forearm. He could have hit him anywhere else, but seeing as the move had knocked him back a few feet let alone off balance (not to mention a little bit dirty) he stepped back into the dist and stood, bouncing for his opponent to return to stance. "Forgive my foolishness, Ren. It wont happen again."

Ren jumped forward and threw a kick while in the air. Tien sighed and sat back down. "These boys need to hone their skills, otherwise they might try these tactics in a more dangerous fight." Tien thought, watching the fight continue.

Raiden side-stepped grabbing the leg, and swung the body towards the ground. Raiden swept his leg towards Ren as he bounced from the impact of the ground puching him farther away with a blow to the side. 17 years in a monastary doesn't teach you to become a chump, kid Raiden thought to himself. I didn't fight all those kids to be sent home a failure. He tensed his body, and stopped bouncing around. Now he took a more firm stance and style. I like to call this stone tower...
