Hatake

43

Tiger and I wait until most of the others have climbed in their beds.

He assures me that it's not entirely unusual for people to train late at night.

He opens the room and locks it behind himself.

There is no windows on any of the walls or door.

A large floor mat covers most of the area. A few surfaces to set things on but apart from that it's empty.

I only have a few planned so if they don't work he might be disappointed.

Tiger walks to the middle of the room and waits.

I walk over to him.

"So what first?" He asks.

I push him down onto the floor he falls with a thud.

"Woah." He says and sits up.

"Hmm have you tried that already?" I ask.

"Yes." He replies.

"What about..." I say.

I let myself fall to the floor.

He reaches out but can't reach.

"So you're not very empathic." I say laying on the ground.

He crawls over and pulls me up.

"How was I supposed to know you'd do that?" He says.

I laugh and he makes a face at me.

I lean closer to him.

He leans away slightly.

I reach my hand out and touch the side of his face.

He flinches when my cold finger tips press into his warm skin.

His eyes dart across my face. Searching for an answer as to why I'm doing this.

I shift my body and slowly close the space between us.

"Akari?" He breathes.

He doesn't move or react.

I slide my hand from his face down and onto his chest.

With one harsh movement I pin him down onto the floor.

I reveal my ice needle that I made earlier.

With all my force slam it down into his eye.

Well, it never makes contact with his eye.

I make it turn into water after he blocks my hand.

The water falling on his cheek next to his red eyes.

He coughs and sputters.

I climb off of him and wait next to him. After a few moments he catches his breath.

"You were— you were really gonna do it?" He asks.

"Sorry." I say.

"How many plans was that?" He asks and lays back onto his back.

"I still had one left." I reply honestly.

"Yeah?" He says.

"You wouldn't have liked it." I say.

"Dont tell me it then." He says and laughs.

He goes to the mirror on the wall and laughs at his reflection.

"I really did have them." He says.

"I'd be careful who you use them around." I say meeting him at the mirror.

"Thank you." He says softly.
