I saw Kagura looking and frowning at something behind me. "Kagura, what's wrong?" I asked, also turning behind to find out what Kagura was looking at. "I saw a something move behind you..." She picked up her umbrella while I grabbed a shuriken. She threw her umbrella towards one of the cherry blossom trees near the path. There was a surprised yelp and a ninja all in black was removed of his camouflage. He turned and ran, attempting to get away, but Kagura used her most powerful skill.

"SHOGYO MOGYO!"
A pink cherry blossom bloomed in the Seimei Umbrella and shot out a pink thread that hooked itself onto the mysterious ninja, slowing him down. I snapped out of my reverie and ran towards the ninja and activated my most powerful skill too.

"HIGANBANA!"

A scarlet flower bloomed, immobilising the ninja. I shot an enchanted scroll at him. I deemed him sufficiently dazed and helpless so I started tying him up with Kagi's leftover pink string. Although it was rather thin, it was extremely strong! The dark ninja just looked at me with a faint look of dislike. However, what puzzled me was that he did not show a hint of fear.

"Who are you?" I asked.
"Why should I tell you?" He replied rather rudely.
"Well, if you don't tell us your name we'll just bring you to the Chief and accuse you of spying on us, which you did!" Kagura retorted, having walked up to us.
"Okay, okay! My name is Hayabusa and  because I saw a dirt track leading off the main path I decided to follow it and saw you guys here. Can I go now?" The ninja called Hayabusa spat out. I felt a twinge of amusement. We had wounded his pride by capturing him so easily; honestly, it felt good.

"Im not sorry to accidentally wander here though. This is a great place to train..." Hayabusa looked doubtfully at Kagura and I. "Hey, we train here too!" I immediately said, annoyed. How dare he imply that he wanted to train here? This was a private area where Kagura and I could train peacefully WITHOUT STRANGERS.

"Hana-chan, maybe we can let him train here too!" Kagura smiled at Hayabusa. I bit back a groan. Did Kagura not hear my annoyed tone? I don't want Hayabusa to train with us! But with both of them looking at me expectantly, one pleading and one curious, I agreed reluctantly.
