Black waters and the black waning moon

*Raku stood in the center of his room spinning violently like a tornado then the tornado went black and more violent with much more power*

(This is open to anyone)

( hehe... people are just some boring nuts... )

(Indeed..)

(I'll join since nobody has yet... ignoring my usual 1/1 policy...)

He rose into the room next to the wall silently via bone laying, and observed to figure out how to implement this himself.

*Water rose and started to make a miniature funnel cloud then surrounded him and the water turned black*

It was rare to see Raku training, so Zyrag let him finish. "Nice move..." He said trying not to startle him too badly.

*Raku looked in the direction of Zyrag and sat in the center of the raging water* "This? Its not even a jutsu.. Just something i use to clear my mind" *He opened a small area in between the water to allow Zyrag in*

He noticed the opening and hurried in, careful not to disrupt Raku. "How's it work?"

"You need to flow like the water itself and feel the push and pull of the water.. Then magnify its speed and power and bend it to your will" *The opening closed and went back to a swirling mass of black and purple water*

"Sounds hard..." He replied. The technique was more interesting from the inside.

"After about a year its second nature." *The water was sparkling even as black as it was. It was unusually quiet on the inside and roaring on the outside*

He decided to let Raku do his thing and started to sink into the ground, not wanting to disturb him again.

"You can stay. I enjoy your company"

"That's why we work well together." He said rising back up. "Demons bothering you?"

"Not really.. Theyre more like a small annoying voice. All the other members of the Akatsuki dont really work well together."

"Well then, whats bothering you?" He asked simplistically.

(I played with Varsity today ^^) - (^Not so simple word...^)

(lol nice man.) "Ive become very irritible lately and i dont know why."

"You could ask Zanji why, after all aren't he and his brothers, if that's what you call them, linked to your body and mind?"

(yeah, the other keeper was out today. I did bad though, the only ones I stopped were through balls over the defenses heads.)

(If it makes you feel better when i play varsity i suck as a linebacker) "Possibly.."

"You prefer not to, I'm guessing..."

(Its not that I couldn't... Its that I didn't... do better)

(well i could do better but those guys are huge compared to me and im pretty big) "No, i just havnt thought of that."

(The guys coming at me are built for speed, power, or both o.O)

"How long does it usually take?"

(lol "shorter than right now" XP)

(Lmao nice. These guys are like juniors/seniors.) "Hmm one minute" *He closed his eyes and was silent*

(Same here, except some beast freshman and sophomores, so yeah... back to the speed and power...) Zyrag waited for him to finish quietly. After a while he thought Raku was never going to stop.
