Optics scanned the dojo. Two grassy colored orbs swung round to rest upon the huts and schools. A heart beat quickened, as if the wind had stirred it into a galloping beat. It was so fast and yet so rhythmic, that one could dance to the glorious thumping. The throbbing of a pulse in her wrists, and the gentle sensation of her neck getting touched by the breeze, was enough to put Natsumi-chan upon the greatest natural high. She wanted to get up and spin round, using the wind to carry her kimono sleeves around her. Digits would slice through the air, as her feet planted gently upon the grass. Swing round, stop. Swing. It was all a motion he had taught her. He was wise, and would always remain forever in her heart.
Natsumi slid off of the boulder she had so conveniently perched herself upon. She ran each delicate finger through her soft green hair, letting the strands hang back into place in front of those two emerald jewels. Many people often asked Natsumi why she did not carry a weapon with her, but merely a fan. A smile would always crawl upon Natsumi's face. Her fan was her weapon. Slowly, her digits crawled to it, grasping the closed surface in her hand. Bringing the fan up towards her face, Natsumi flicked her wrist, and the fan expanded. A triumphant grin rested upon her lips as she stepped back.
With a wave of her arm, and using the wind's guidance just so, the fan sliced through the air, piercing it like melted butter. The fan, a decorative blue with a wonderous picture of the moon implanted upon a corner, swung around and around looking like nothing but a blurred disc. A rock's surface gave way as the fan sliced right through it. The fan continued for a few more yards, before it returned it its mistress's hand. Natsumi smiled, rather pleased with the outcome as she gazed at the crumbled rock that had once stood so proudly. She turned her head towards the school. This was an adventure that could change her life. She wasn't about to let anything get in her way. Closing up the fan, Natsumi placed it back up her kimono sleeve and began her walk back towards the school, her heart returning to that speedy beat.
