[For Chie] Training Mistakes

[crimsongirl]

Being away from Hebijo did have some downsides. The main thing was money, and few of his teammates could. Haruka's looks and teasing attitude brought disaster, no one took Mirai seriously despite her age, Hikage's constant misunderstandings making others angry, and Yomi didn't always take much money unless the job was worth it. They might be able to get betters jobs one day, but for now, it was up to her and her sensei, Suzune, to earn any cash. The last thing she wanted to be was a burden to the team after all. What kind of leader would she be if she didn't work?

But even she had some limits, mainly in how construction and moving work wasn't constant. And she wasn't going to do any assassinations. If any were to die, it would be the Yoma. Oddly enough, she had come across a fighter named Chie. After the two had fought over the last beef bowl for the day, they quickly got along, with Homura agreeing to teach her for cash. And to get some training on top of it all for her? Seemed like the best job ever!

The two were alone in the forest, currently doing a sparring match. Homura's six swords were drawn, and she swung fiercely, flames erupting from the blades. Well, she wasn't exactly the easiest teacher...

"Hey its not like I'm actively searching for that stuff. Now come on!"

Battling in fights where clothes get torn too often led to some unnecessary traits being gained. Regardless, Homura led Chie to the changing booth, hopiny to get this over with.

"Says the girl who expects me to be wearing a certain kind of underwear..." Chie couldn't let it up too easily, not when she was thinking about how much her mentor was thinking about her underwear. Which only led to strange thoughts that Chie tried her best to push down and forget about.

And finding herself in a changing booth, with Homura nearby as she pulled off the tatters of her remaining clothes... well the thoughts kept bubbling up anyway. "Jeez, next time I should just wear heavy armor or something..."

"Be thankful you ain't training with Katsuragi. Odds are you wouldn't even have that."

She'd say she was surprised by the lack of discipline....but that went for a lot more people, especially Haruka and her damn concoctions. She looked away already tossing a surprisingly identical set of clothes Chie had on earlier at his sparring partner.

"Doubt you have the strength for that to remain mobile. Just gonna have to teach you our way of doing things."

Homura hardly believed in a good defense anyway, her style so focused around speed and attack, always crushing her foes' guard each second in battle. Armor could only slow her down.

"Which one is Katsuragi again?" Maybe she had seen her around?

Having never had a formal teacher, discipline isn't something Chie knows a lot about. She did know about how she was supposed to have discipline for learning martial arts, but what she idolized on the screen and what she practiced ended up two different things.

"What's that supposed to mean? I'm the toughest girl in my entire school!" Though little that probably meant to ninjas. She accepted the clothes with a quiet thanks, moving back inside to dress when suddenly she found herself talking without thinking. "...Do you think I look dumb in cute clothes?"

"Blonde 3rd year. Always likes to grab chests of girls. Proud of sexual harassment."

As much as she kinda wanted to train with Kat herself, Homura hated attention brought onto her like that. She'd sooner set someone on fire than allow them to be perverted with her. The same had gone for Haruka and her concoctions. Last time she was tricked into drinking it, all she could remember were melted candles and running out of the room in embarassment.

She blinked at her last words. "Where did that come from? I don't really care what others wear."

"...You hang out with a girl like that?" Not that Chie isn't interested in girls, she most certainly is, but there's a point where even girls can be perverts and there's no way a justice obsessed girl like Chie can allow that. She's just lucky she hasn't run into Kat yet apparently. So she had that much in common with Homura.

The question made sense in Chie's mind though, even if maybe her intentions didn't quite reach the other girl. Only that made it harder for Chie, having to try to explain without actually explaining anything.

"I just mean like... I know I can be a tomboy, but I like to dress up sometimes too!" Suddenly she found herself sounding defensive.

[crimsongirl]

"More like I hang around people who hang around her."

She stares at Chie as she spoke, shaking her head and sighing. To her, this kind of stuff was better off being plunged into it. Already she grabbed a scroll from one of the shelves.

"Then just wear whatever you want. Hell, even Miyabi wore a dress and she's about as much of a tomboy as you can get. Look." She held the scroll, shouting Shinobi Transformation and flashing brightly. In the next second, she was wearing a small blue dress, almost looking like a magical girl....crap, wrong one. Her eyes were closed as her eyebrow twitched. Roll with it, Homura.

"S-see how easy it is?" She opened her eyes, staring at the mirror next to her....regrets were had. "...Maybe something better than this."
