Mahoukage's Office

The Mahoukage's office is considered one of the most beautifully designed spaces in the Aurora village. The room is a circular shape with windows all around. Each window is made up of a crystal though, so when the sun shines on it just right, it sparkles elegant designs upon the ceiling.

Icisia's desk is located in the center of the room.

Icisia' sits down at her desk and looks over a few files of Aurora ninja. "Hmm.."

I ran to this place so fast with an eager smile on my face. I was determined to meet with Icisia, and make my future as bright as I imagined it to be. Ever since I joined the Aurora village things have been good for me, as I was gradually getting stronger. I ran there so fast that my heart racing, and speeding fast, so much so that my heart was in trouble of being too speedy in its beat. I ran up to the door with my breath hard, and panting, trying to catch it up with my heart which was of course a mile ahead of it already. I began to sweat from so much movement, and nervousness, but I couldn't let that bother me. I tried to knock at the door, but then pulled away. I had no idea what I was going to say so I rehearsed a little before getting my courage up to knock.

I soon after rehearsing and calming down a little, still panting just slightly brought myself to knock on the door. I knocked three times. Knock,knock, knock. After the knock I softly spoke outside the door so but audible enough so that Ici could hear me. This was the time that she was going to answer my question that I've held inside since the day we met,and I was going to ask her, I was going to. Finally a reply.

"Ici-chan, Lady Mahoukage, it's Sei, I'm here to request to see you for something." That sounded professional as this strictly was. =D

She looked up from her papers after hearing several knocks at the door. "Come in," she says towards the door as she looks back down at her papers and reads on. Because of reading these documents, she fails (for once) to look at who just entered her office.

I walked in slowly with a shy face on, finally catching my breath being able to speak normally. However, I was still nervous and so I continued to hear and feel my heart beat almost out of my chest. This was it, was all I could think. Finally the moment I've waited for. I couldn't wait to ask her yet at the same time it would be hard to get out of my mouth maybe, I worried that that might happen, but if I just kept positive, it wouldn't happen I hoped.

I walked up slowly to her desk and spoke professionally hoping she was really listening.

"Alright, well Lady Mahoukage, I know you're very busy... and have much work to do. I can see it all too clearly. But I was wondering if you would take me in as your student and teach me a lot of the things you know." I paused.

"You see I wanna become stronger, strong enough to surpass my mother and grandmother, and that will only happen with your help. I have been training or at least trying to lately and nothing has been working. Won't you please train me, Lady Mahoukage? Sensei??" I questioned bowing, and the voice she would soon recognize as now I hoped she listened and knew whom I was.

She pauses as she reads over her documents, looking up to see the young man before her. She heard every word he said and pondered them carefully. Surpass his mother and grandmother? Sounds interesting enough.

After a couple seconds of thinking, she says to him, "So you want training? Well, it won't be easy. There's a lot of jutsu and summons I'd be able to teach you, but there are also a lot I wouldn't be able to due to my bloodline." She pauses for a second before continuing, "I get a lot of shinobi coming in to ask for my help. Of course I cannot say yes to all of them. In fact, I've said no to every single one that has come into my office."

Once more, she pauses. "But.. in your case, I will train you. I will teach you as much as I can. Like I said, I can only teach you some jutsu, because most of my jutsu are bloodline. If you are to be my student I want to see you train every day. At the beginning of each day, start off with 100 pushups, 300 situps, and run two miles. It'll get you into even better shape than you are now. If that's too easy, push yourself even further. Catch that?" she asks.

I nodded as I looked up now seeing eye to eye with her. And finally she would see who I truly was. I smiled and nodded.

"I get that perfectly crystal clear, my kage, my friend. Lady Mahoukage, I pledge to you that I will not let you down and always do my best. I feel so honored that you said yes to me, and I will push myself further beyond any training that you may be able to teach me. I want to become stronger as I said before, enough to surpass my relatives before me. They were both great healers and kunoichi, and I want to be a great shinobi, as well as a good friend to you. I promise it." I smiled and then bowed once more. As I stood back up straight from that last bow I saw eye to eye with her again. Remembering the times I had with her in the recent past, ah the good times. At least I would be stronger now, and I wasn't to give up. I was going to do anything to surpass my goal... anything and I was determined to do with Icisia, if anyone she could heighten my strength further. Thank you Lady Kage, thank you.

Icisia smiled to her old friend and nodded. She knew he was destined to be a great shinobi, she could just feel it. That's why she said yes. She had told so many people no before, but deep down, she just knew that training him was what she needed to do. "You're first training session is to simply meditate. I want you to be in 100% control of everything around you; your chakra, your environment, your mind," she says to Seirei.

I nodded, and then stood there smiling once more facing her.

"Right, I shall go do that now. Again thank you for everything so far you've done for me, this is by far the best thing that has ever happened to me lately." I smiled as I went to walk off to a corner of her office to meditate, but before I left her desk I walked back putting a hand down on the wooden part of it I was near.

"Icisia-chan, I have one more think to say to you." I smiled a little and then kissed her cheek gently as I walked away with a peace sign up to the corner I was to meditate in, I needed to have complete control, she was right.

"No matter how many times I save you, and regardless if I help you out, I know you'll always be my best friend, and my teacher, my kage, no.. my hero." I sat down in the corner closing my eyes and sitting in the position to meditate I usually did. I winked and snuck a peek at her once more, muttering the words under my breath in a whisper.

"Thank you..." ^^

Icisia smiled to all what Sei did and said, turning her head back down towards her paperwork still smiling.

OOC: I need a mission to get our shinobi going. I'm thinking a bounty? Or perhaps more simple?

OOC: What are you implying another mission for me? Or is it too soon?

I smiled and then shut my eyes completely, sitting my relaxing stance, meditating and regaining complete control over every last thing in my body, except the jinchuruuki. That was the only thing that had a mind of it's own, and I'm sure with training I'd be able to match at least if not control it. I meditated as she did go back to her work.

OOC: For you or anyone who wants it. I might make a few missions.

She looks over to Sei and watches him meditate for a second, making sure he wasn't goofing around or anything. Knowing that he wasn't, she opened up her missions documents and began to read them over.

I continued to remain focused and seriously concentrated deeply in what I was doing. I was serious about getting stronger and so I would, by being serious about my studies. I soon after wondered what she was doing. Not breaking my stance or position, nor concentration. I posed a question over to her from across the room from utter silence.

"What are you doing Icisia-chan?"

Icisia sighed. "Going over boring documents. I'm thinking about getting some fresh air," she says to Sei.

I peeked at her.

"I was thinking of getting a little myself.. do you wanna go out together and get some air?" I smirked still not breaking my concentration. And then I thought.

"Or would you wanna go on a mission because I happen to think those are documents for missions."

She shook her head at his second suggestion. "I can't go on a mission unless I absolutely have to protect the village, which so far nothing is happening that we should be concerned of. Maybe to the ramen stand or something?" she asks.

I nodded, suddenly holding my stomach growling.

"Sounds good, I'm hungry." I got up and walked over to her, as I looked a little worried though I tried to hide it.

"Well then shall we go?" The tone of my voice had changed from before, but I was able to hide it though I don't know if it was working.

Icisia read the difference of tone in Seirei for a second. "What's wrong? Bijuu acting up or something?" she asks. "If so, just let me know."

I stared at her in disbelief for a second there.

"Uh, how.. how did you know?" I didn't think she knew, and I was trying keep it hidden, and it wasn't acting up from my concern, just I was worried it might get out of hand if I came across any trouble or hard parts in training. And not that I didn't trust Ici, but my temper was bad and thats why I seemed so worrisome. I didn't want to be this way I just was... sometimes. Though I couldn't comprehend how she knew I had a bijuu, I never told her, and that was the topic I intended on speaking with her about on our way.

Icisia smirked a little and motioned for Seirei to follow her to the ramen stand. She turns and walks out of the room.

OOC: Next post village streets.

Tsumi voice echos through out the room "my challenge is still there Icisia! I still require you to ether give me you village or for you to challenge me! make your choice!"

Kyoten walks into sensei-sama's office to wait for his teammates and sensei to show up. "Well, I think she left on a mission. I might be waiting a while.."

Okami walks in too and sees Kyoten. She nods to him and takes a seat along the wall.

Kyoten smiles and blushes, waving to Okami. "Hey Okami, how ya doin?" he asks.

Icisia walks in from her mission and takes a seat at her desk. She looks up and smiles to her students. "Alright, where's Ryushi?" she asks.

"Well, we can't wait for him. Before the Chuunin exams, I want you to complete as many missions as possible. You may not think of it as helping your training, but it does. Now, go check the board ans sign up for any available missions. If you don't sign up, I will assign you myself," she says.
