A whole nother year had gone by, Akane felt time had flown by fast.... She felt felt like she had made a deep bond with everyone here, even the White Lotus she considered them all close friends. She had grown up quite a bit, mind and body, though she still had a difficulty figuring out romance an all that stuff, out here for four years she rarely saw any of it, and the little bit she did see was Karin and Junko, but she was not sure still. She had yet to feel anything like crushy, or love towards anyone. Her head was too into becoming the best, and studying.
Akane found herself in front of the cabin, standing between Yoshi, and Kunashi. Junko was about to give them another thing for them to train on, it had been non stop training since they got here it seemed, Akane rarely complained though.
But it seemed Karin had something to say, as she walked up. Akane looked at Karin curiously, she started scolding Junko, and pulling his ear! Jade tried not to laugh, but it didn't help that Yoshi laughed, and it caused her to giggle quietly, though Yoshi was snapped at, Akane was in the clear. It looked like they'd be taking a break, Akane grinned widely at the thought, though the only real thing on her mind was studying those medical books.... She would have free time later.
-Telling Stories-
Akane listened to the stories and laughed along with them, though she could make up pretty scary stories, telling a funny one was kind of hard, even though she was energetic and cheerful. She enjoyed the embarrassing stories the most.
Soon Junko pounced on Raiju and the rest of the tigers. Akane stood and kind of acted like a referee, and or a cheerleader, though she was not cheering any one of them on, she was more yelling out random things.
Oka was a lot less shy, but she still only spoke when she needed to. She was smiling a lot more, and had opened up quite a bit as the years passed by. Her cooking skills had only became better as well. Oka didn't seem to have aged a day.
Though Akane's cooking skills were the exact opposite of her mother's still... Oka though did not understand why everyone was wanting her to roast things for them.. All she did was just hold the food over the fire till it was done, maybe she had a magic touch that just made it taste better. Oka smiled cheerfully as she cooked food for the rest of the family to perfection. Though she could only hold two sticks at a time.
-Swimming-
Akane was dressed in a bikini that her mother had gotten her, she seemed to love it really. But more than anything she loved the beauty of the water waterfall, and swimming in such nice waters. Akane would probably be the one that dived off of the waterfall the most, as she felt it felt great.
After a bit of swimming, Akane found herself wrestling with Junko, and Yoshi under the water, she was able to show that she was just as fast under water, as on land. She was probably getting too rough, and overconfident, as she would cling on to backs or limbs. But after she calmed down she just floated in the water peacefully.
Oka enjoyed the shore more than in the water, she did take a dip or two, but she would mostly be watching over the others play, she was relaxing and enjoying the sun.
Akane noticed the cats had yet to join them, though she thought tigers liked water, these cats were weird that's for sure. But Akane locked on her next Victim pretty soon. As Raiju came up out of the water, and tried to escape it, Akane came up behind the TIger and pounced on her back, only to drag him under water again, and further into the lagoon. She released him soon after, laughing as he ran out of the water.
-Fishing-
Akane didn't really fish, she was watching though, she did not like fish... eating was fine, it was just how they looked. Akane herself was nodding off until she heard that there were no fish here. She watched junko fall into the water, and laughed as Kunashi rilled him up. She was honestly glad she didn't have to see a real fish flop out of the water.
-Later-
Akane seemed to have been staying up late at night, sword practicing in the night. She did it away from the cabin where everyone slept as to not bother them. She had no problems with breaks, she felt the need to train in one way or another. She swung through the air, and cleared a good amount of tall grass with her slashes.
Akane would do this often, to help build up her sword skills, and taijutsu skills. SHe wanted to be just as strong in body, as she was in her mind.
