Feels like a coming of age [P]

"The key, you see, is your mind." He said to Youta, feeling the chakra of Altar making it's way up the tower and onto the roof, smirking as he seemed to stop at the doorway, most likely questioning why his lover was alone with the sadist. "If you believe you can achieve the feat, you will most likely reach that milestone." To demonstrate that, he moved his forward down and outwards in a semi circular shape, activating flashblade when he did it so that it would most likely just be a metallic blur for all of those observing them and the kunai found itself back in the pouch on the males hip. It was a short lesson, but Youta seemed quite smart, she oughta pick it up quickly. Turning his head to watch Altar's request, he nodded, allowing for him to proceed.

Without much delay Xyxer would continue where they left off. He would give her an advice on how to perform the Flashblade as well as another demonstration. This time she could see it better, with her Seigan active she could watch the chakra in his arm as he performed the move, which was still a blur. But now she knew something she did wrong, something she would attempt to correct. But she would be interrupted. A boy that she liked, Altar appeared in the garden on the roof and she had not noticed him approaching because she was so absorbed in learning the technique, it startled her a bit. But she was happy to see him. She would respond by only returning a smile because she could not come up with anything appropriate to say. Her training would stop for a bit, but at this point all she had to do was try a couple more things and she was confident she would be able to finally use the Flashblade. Looking at the boy she knew as a Genin the girl would listen to what they would talk about.

Altar was only shaken more from getting no response from either other party. Still...Altar was here for something, and at this point he decided it'd be best to rush through it and get it done and over with. However, Altar couldn't leave anything be without making at least one smart ass comment, could he?

"Well, hope I didn't...interrupt anything here." Altar said, taking his time through the remark, trying to think of a way to word what he wanted. Perhaps he had best foot around it, only give details if necessary.

"Xyxer, I wish to travel to the land of Shadow as soon as possible." Altar would say, stating his desire openly and blunt.

Chuckling a little as the insecurities of Altar were flashed to the two of them much like an indecent exposer's genitalia, he shrugged a little before answering him, "She's quite dull, in all honesty, Altar. You have no need to fear an affair, she's only fun when she's enraged." Moving on to the next part of what he said, Xyxer's shoulders once more would repeat the same gesture, "Go for it. If you're not back in Shimagakure before I arrive, I'll have you killed if you're not already dead though." Smirking at the thought of blood, he decided to move onto Youta, having prepared a note as he was out. Pulling it out of his akatsuki robes, he handed it to the girl with strict instructions on the inside, not to be said because of you metagaming cunts. "The same goes for you, Youta. Have fun with your new jutsu and don't die too soon, Altar will be heartbroken." Nodding his head to bid them farewell, he would then take his leave.

Altar would nod at Xyxer and Youta, deciding against a comeback against Xyxer's comments. After giving his farewells, Altar would jump from the side of the building, finding his footing against it about halfway down, slowing his descent and making it safe. Once on the ground, Altar would walk away from the building.

~Exit~

Paying only portion of her attention to the exchange Youta would grin slightly at Xyxer's remark. It was true that she was quite a ball of rage when ignited, it was probably why it hit the spot and was not simply ignored, but other than a grimace the girl did or said nothing and continued with the training. Repeatedly swinging the blade while trying with all her will to activate the technique she would achieve greater and greater speeds, but not quite there, not even close to what Xyxer demonstrated. She would however stop and her eyes dart at Altar and the Tenkage as she heard the boy's request. Land of Shadows, eh? He was leaving the village... Some part of her did not like it for multiple reasons, but it was defeated by her trust in him. If he wanted to go to that country, then he must have had his reasons, hopefully he knew what he was doing as well. Xyxer did not seem to mind it much and at this point his threats did not seem as bad, although it was obvious that Altar had to hurry. The girl would swing a few more times before she sensed Xyxer approach her. Turning at him she would watch as the guy pulled out a note from his black and red robes that signified his allegiance to a certain group of powerful individuals. The note would be given to the girl and Xyxer told her that same applied to her, as it did to Altar. Then he would leave, turning around the female Chuunin would notice that the Jounin who shared the same blood as Yozora was gone as well.

Although left a bit surprised with how it ended, Youta would shrug and read the note. Then she would be left even more surprised. On the paper were orders for her, quite specific instructions for a high ranked mission, direct orders from Xyxer himself. This time limit he gave her might be a real issue. After having memorized each word on the note she would let it go and shred it to tiny unreadable pieces with continuous flurry of her blade. Before she embarked, the girl wanted to finish Flashblade, as she might quite need it. Taking a small break she would sit on the floor of the roof of the tower, the sheathed blade in her hands, the girl would listen to the rumble of the village below. Although the sound was mostly blown by the wind, she could still hear some of it. In her mind was a chaotic stream of thoughts, she would wander between her memories in this village, Flashblade, her time with Altar and feelings for him, and Xyxer's orders. Damn this merciless world they lived in. It would suck terribly to die now.

Drawing strength from that conclusion the girl would stand up, holding Shigure, the blade slipping from its sheathe Youta would raise it up in front of her. Remembering the chakra flow she saw in Xyxer, his words and the instructions left by her master in the Bladedancer book she would focus and exhale as her chakra gathered in her arms. Quite a lot of chakra, actually. She would move the sword to be horizontal. Then it would flash, once, then again. After the third swing Youta was satisfied. It was complete, she had learned Flashblade, but now she also knew how much chakra it took to used this move. In a fight she would die from exhaustion before swinging the blade ten times if she was to used it constantly. Sheathing Shigure she would sigh and look down at the village, where her house was. Well, better start moving.
