{Chapter 8} Try Hard

{Up above is Chika}

(Strelizia P.O.V)

     I woke up in the same room. No Sakura, no mother or father and no Sakura's friends. I giggled quietly to myself, and sat up. Remnants of dangos lay in my bed, and all over my face. Sighing, I got up and decided to take a shower. Grabbing a pair of panties, I went into the shower. I the body wash smells like cherry blossoms this time. I smiled.

     I quickly washed my hair, and got out. I officially work for Ayame and she is officially my sensei! She told me she had a few students of her own and I was going to meet them once they came back from their mission. I put on my regular black dress and wrapped my feet. Heading out the door of my apartment, I saw a girl with pink hair, a black sports bra, and some sweatpants head into her room.

     I decided to ignore it and head to Ayame's shop. Yesterday before I left, she gave me some keys in case she wasn't there. All she said for me to do if she's not there is to turn on all the lights and turn on a furnass.

     When I got there, I did as she told me, and just waited for her to get here. I ended up getting out a book and reading. Unbreakable. It was by Kami Garcia. (A/N-Yes guys, it's a real book. I recommend it. It will purify you all.) It was getting good, when I heard a bell ring, and a flashing light came from the monitors. I looked at the camera, and someone walked in before I could hit the button. I looked up to see Ayame. My heartbeat slowed down a bit knowing it was just her.

     "Ayame-Sensei. Hi." I said with a goofy smile. She walked up to the register and had a serious look on her face.

     "Okay kid, let's set some ground rules. When I am not here and that ringing sound begins to freak out, you immediately hit that button underneath the cabinet. Then you'll hit that button, "She said pointing to a button on the monitor, "and it will switch your screen to the weapons. Now you'll be able to see what they think about the person who walks in." I nod with a smile, only to be interrupted by a man walking in. Ayame-sensei looks over at them with a questioning look, and then looks up at his headband. Sighing, she looks at me and tells me to duck. I nod, and do as she says.

     "Ayame, I never would've thought that you'd have such a soft spot for kids." The man said. I could feel him smirking and I just wanted to punch it right off. He laughed a bit.

     "Yeah. I didn't either. But this kid is special." She said. My eyes widened, and I felt happy she would say that about me. "Now what are you doing here Asuma?" She asked. Oh shit.

     "I came for a weapon. One that'd suit my tastes." She sighed.

     "Well that's all I got right now. Me and the kid will eventually make more, but for right now she's just learning the basics." He laughed but I quirked my eyebrow at him.

     "Okay, well I think I'm going to go ahead and purchase these daggers." He said. She nodded and headed in the register area where I was, and glanced down at me. In her eyes, I could tell she needed me to remain quiet and not say a thing. Asuma made his purchase and left. Once he was far enough, she told me I could get up.

     "Alright, well let's start showing you around, shall we?" She seemed pretty excited for it, and that caused me to be excited. I can feel that in the near future, I'm going to be one sassy mother fucker.

     "You'll be doing this stuff every morning at 8 a.m. got that?" I nodded my head. "If you stick with this job, I'll not only pay you, but I'll give you one of the legendary weapons for free. Whichever one you want. You see business isn't really good down here since not a lot of people visit." I nodded and smiled again.

      "Now you'll train me right?" I asked hopefully. She nodded her head, and motioned for me to follow her. We went through the doors that she usually went in to create her weapons, but came upon another door when we turned to the right. When she opened the door, I was met with a nice little training ground in the back. There wasn't any snow in here, but I could still run some laps with my weights on. There were dummies in the back corner. So I'd presume this room is for Taijutsu only.

      "I believe you've already guessed that this room is only used for Taijutsu. I have another room that is used only for Ninjutsu, but I'll only show you that when I feel that you're ready." We walked back to the front, and she taught me how to make my first weapon. I chose to make just a simple kunai. Nothing special. It took about three hours until I was finally done. She said I might've rushed it. When she came in to see what it looked like, she busted out laughing. It was definitely not straight and nor was it a freaking kunai.

      I looked down a bit embarrassed. After she was done she looked at it and then looked at me. I could tell she felt a bit bad after laughing, because after that she didn't say anything for a bit.

      "Wanna try again?" She asked. I looked at her and slowly nodded my head. I tried again, but this time it took 4 ½ hours. It looked SO much better than the last one. Maybe because this time I actually used the manual? I don't know. When I showed it to her, she nodded, but she didn't seem completely ok with it.

      "Mediocre," She said, "but good. Though I wouldn't sell it in my shop." She smiled at me. "It's good for your 2nd time. But good for your first time since you read the manual." I sweat dropped, knowing that she somehow figured out that I didn't read the manual. "Now let's start on some Taijutsu!" she yelled. She went to the front and put a closed sign.

     "Let's do this." I said punch my right fist together with my left fist. 

(Sorry for such a short chapter.)
