I woke up the next morning in Donnie's arms, I smiled at him and gave him a kiss before I left to use the bathroom. After I finished freshening myself up in the small bathroom, I walked over to the dojo.
After I walked through the sliding doors of the dojo, I saw Sensei there. It looked like he was meditating or sleeping. I sat in front of him feeling a little rude, saying that I might make some noise and that he might get mad. So I got up and was about to leave the dojo.
~Sensei's Perspective~
As I was meditating, I heard footsteps wandering away from me. I knew it was Jimena, so I called her. "Jimena."
"Eek!" she squealed in surprise.
"You may sit down my dear child." I said as I opened my eyes.
I witnessed Jimena coming over next to me and sitting down across from me. I gave her a warm smile because she was going to start her training today.
"I'm sorry that I interrupted you Sensei. I didn't know that you were awake. I thought that you were sleeping." Jimena bowed her head to the ground.
"It's alright Jimena. I always wake up early so that I could meditate. It clears my mind."
As I was speaking to her, she trailed off. I saw what she was looking at, she was looking at my tail. As she tried to grab it, I gently patted her hand with it.
"Eek!" she squealed.
I smiled warmly. "You have to be alert with the things around you."
"Okay Sensei."
"A ninja always has to stay alert when the enemy attacks."
"Okay." she said as she got up.
I got up too and went to the practice weapon compartment. I took out 2 wooden swords, 1 for Jimena and 1 for myself. I went back over to her and gave her the sword. She looked pretty curious when she got the sword.

"A ninja is always prepared to fight when the enemy approaches."
I watched as she was trying to hold the sword whichever way she can, but she was having trouble with it. I came over to her and helped her hold her sword the proper way. "There you go. Hold it the way I'm holding it." I explained as I showed her how I hold mine.
She copied my way I'm holding my sword and looked at me. "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Now, observe the moves that I make and you try it." I said as I started swinging my wooden weapon in every move I could possibly make it easier for Jimena to follow. After I finished, I looked at her. "No it is your turn."
