As both Ronin and Hikaru walked inside; the very first thing to hear from him was that he called out to his student by the actual name of 'student'. Giving a little nervous smile he tilted his head lightly only to look over to the side and see the same girl he met earlier at the village. So this whole time, this young girl was the student Ronin was speaking about. Hearing her name was Ivy, he gave a little bow to her in respects before stating his own name. "Hello miss Ivy. My name is Hikaru, whether I told you my name already or not. I'm not too sure." he said giving a little nervous laughter to follow as he watched how Ronin immediately took his own attention toward a couple of plants growing nearby. Each one had a different color to them which was kind of strange; but keeping his mind off of it, he just kept a little warm smile on his face looking around the area. This place was much larger than he had expected it to be.

"Umm thanks, I guess. But,....all I really did was water them an sat them in the light. So I guess all they needed was water or something.", Ivy said. She then looked at Hikaru and bowed slightly back at him. "I don't think you did, but it's nice to meet uyou, Hikaru.", she said smiling.

(let me edit this)

"Your being modest Ivy, trust me I can tell.....By the way, on my way to pick up Hikaru, I found this. " He said, then he pulled out the Strangest looking plant you could ever see " its called Thuiaka. If used in the correct measure, it can create a remedy so powerful it can Clear out almost any dieases in any Living being." He explained putting it on the Shelf. "Alittle project I want you tto work on is Creating the Remedy, It shall determine your skills as a healer."

"Thanks.", Ivy said with a sigh. She plopped down in her chair and looked at the plant. "I doubt I can make anything like that. I just started this medical training three years ago and I have only been able to do a little bit of stuff, so making me do something like that...really doesn't seem like the best thing.", she said

Watching as Ronin handed some kind of strange plant to Ivy, Hikaru just tilted his head lightly. It had seemed that the plant he handed to her had some strange abilities to cure any disease if worked on right. So if his own thoughts were correct; Ronin was probably thinking of using that plant to cure whatever was under the bandages of Hikaru's right arm. Although, when he heard from Ivy that she probably wouldn't be able to do something like that. He just gave a little warm smile, pulling his right arm further into his sleeve of his kimono. "Ronin. Don't push her to her limits. Take it easy. Even though I may not be a healer, we should all know that making someone go so far as to that kind of medical training after only three years is too much." he stated holding onto the monk staff closely to Hikaru's own side, than slowly turning his attention back over to Ivy. "Take your time miss Ivy. Just take it step by step. Three years might be a bit short, but still; it's better than only a couple of months."

(*draws like crazy* I am not feeling like rping much right now, so my replies might be short o 3o )

Ivy smiled at what Hikaru said. Ivy nodded and said, "I will. It really is better then a few months. Thanks.".

((No prob. ^^ Have fun wif chur drawing. ^^; ))

Giving a little smile in return to Ivy's, Hikaru just held onto his staff and began to step over toward the nearest shelf to look at the strange plants that were on there. Each one seemed to have it's own color; so that probably meant they all had a different purpose as well. He didn't bother to reach for one and touch it just in case it could've been poisonous, so rather than doing that; he just looked around the area he was in. Everything around wasn't really that new to him since most of it had decorations that usual Kitsunes would have in there homes. Soon enough, Hikaru turned his attention right back at Ronin. "So..is there anything else you would like to show me around here Ronin?..." he asked soon turning his attention right over to Ivy as well. "Or since your probably the daughter of this family's dojo..is there anything I should be watching out for? Any traps?" he simply asked knowing that Kitsunes were also one for setting traps around their own homes to keep away intruders; such as humans.

(hehe~ I will! I found some models o everything will be niice! >D)

"Hmm...well my brothers have cameras around the place. When they see someone that isn't supposed to be here, they jump out and attack them. Now, outside of here, there is a village, they tend to take care of anyone who isn't in there triad or whatever. Like how they attacked you and everything. I don't think they attack us because everyone here can kill them as soon as they attack them. And the other foxes that hang out around here sometimes attack intruders. But your not an intruder, so you'll be fine...I think.", Ivy said.

"To Ascend from the Darkness of Non-knowledge, We must Push our Boundrys on Knowledge to the Very limits. Eventually a Hole will open and More Knowledge will set us free, but we must work hard to do so. Also Ivy-Chan, you have a Gift when it comes to healing, the potion only takes a 2 Days to make and it dosent need much attention. im sure that with the Right Determination, you will succeed" Ronin said.

"I'm sorry, but I am really getting tired of you talking like that. But I will tell you this, sometimes pushing people beyond there boundys doesn't help. In fact, it can even make things worse and not help at all. So you have to push them a little harder each time. Not shove them so hard they fall down. Get it?", Ivy said.

"Falling down is what your assignment, the Question is, can you get back up? Even if the outlook is bleak?"

Ivy stared at Ronin for a few minutes. He was really starting to annoy her. She wasn't in the mood for this at the moment. Ivy sighed and closed her eyes. "So you ant me to fail and see what I'll do to try and fix it? Yeah, I don't really think I can answer that little question of yours. If I say yes, I have no proof to back it up and if it really happens and I can't get back up, well then I guess I fail And if I say I can't, then I'm someone who gives up to easily.", she said.

"Thats the thing, I know im annyoing you by saying it but its the Truth. You have to give it all you can muster before you can learn. You have given up on learning how to fight, therfor you havent been abled to Expand it" he said, the he got in front of her "If you want to be abled to be the best you can be, you must learn to be one thing : Human. not in the Sense were you think your human, but were you feel it. You are only human, therfor you must expect yourself to Succeed and Fail at times. " He explained to her. He was trying to raise her Will and Morale

"Okay...I am going to tell you this for the millionth freaking time. I didn't give up on fighting after like, a few months like you think I did. Most of my life I tried, and tired, and tried, I suck at fighting. Its just how it is. It really grates on my nerves how you seem to think I gave up after a few minutes...But if you didn't then it must be how you making it sound.", Ivy said trying not to grit her teeth. "And the human thing your talking about...I don't get it, like at all."

"You make it sound like you gave it along time, but you didnt give it enough. You gave it the time, but the Not will. You must have the Will to Fight the Feeling of Failure, the feeling of Defeat, and turn it into the Feeling of Victory, the Feeling of Success. With that you would be abled to Overcome anything that stood in your way."

((Damn you two are going at it. :lol: :rofl: ))

After hearing the dangers around the area of this kitsune's family home. Hikaru just gave a little nod and a smile to follow along. He was able to take care of himself pretty well, but the problem was that these were going to be other kitsunes; which made things much more difficult for him since he wouldn't want to harm his own race. Hopefully if the kitsunes saw him as a fellow kitsune they wouldn't attack him; hopefully the foxes around would also do the same. All of a sudden though, hearing how Ronin and Ivy began to argue with one another. His own eyes widened up as he took a step backwards away from the two. It had seemed this conversation was about trying to help Ivy grow in her own ways of fighting. Although as it seemed to her, she had already tried her best to learn how before and even though she kept failing she didn't give up. Figuring that out, Hikaru just gave a little smile and nodded to himself. Never giving up was truly a good thing to do, the determination was a great thing to have but sometimes determination and too much overconfidence could also come to a large downfall. "Miss Ivy. Sorry to interrupt, but would you happen to have a little shrine around here I may use?"

( ; 3; its not really the rp...I was kind of like, taking out some of my feelings or whatever. right now I am just...not feeling it. I may be doing fine, but I am not emotionally well...right now anyway. Just kind of really sad for no reason and trying to hold it back and right now the only thing doing that is just trying not to think about it. so yeah...)

"Whatever Ronin. Just whatever.", she said with a sigh. Ivy looked at Hikaru and nodded. "Um I think there's one on the other side of town. You wont miss it. It king of sticks out like a sore thumb since it has a lot of beautiful plants around it.", she said.

(i really can't think of a good bio :cry:)

(Just post it anyway jake)

"Ivy...." he took her by the shoulders "I wont force you to do somthing you Dont want to do, im just trying to think whats best."

"You forcing me to learn how to fight...", Ivy said with a sigh. She took Ronin's hands off of her shoulders and sat back down in her chair

As soon as Ivy had told Hikaru where the shrine was, it was a little shocking to hear that it was on the other side of the village. Not exactly something he was expecting as he looked around the area where he stood to see if there was any smaller shrine he could just use. All of a sudden, hearing how the two of them were beginning to calm down from the little arguement they had. Hikaru just gave a little nod as he turned right around heading to the exit of the dojo. "Well..I'll be back. I guess I'll head to the shrine. Do you guys need me for anything else before I go?"

"Not really. But if you want to come over nay time, then come.", Ivy said smiling. "See ya later, then.", she said

Getting the little kind request if Hikaru ever wanted to drop by here again, he could. He just gave a little nod as he walked right on out of the dojo; taking a deep breath in and stretching both his arms out over his head he looked right on around the area. The place looked beautiful and calm, but knowing the kitsune race that was the whole point of disguise to them. Considering Hikaru was also a kitsune, he already knew for a fact that the nice pretty scenery was only a ploy to make intruders think its safe. Than when they least expect it; they'd fall into a trap and get themselves either killed, or captured. Giving a little nervous smile, Hikaru stepped down the little dirt path with his three fox tails swaying left and right just in case there were any other kitsunes spying on him. His tails and ears would obviously give away the fact that he was one of their own kind. So after not being attacked for a while; Hikaru just continued to walk down the path til he made it to the entrance of the village that Ivy had told him about.

"Ivy.....how bout I just teach you the bow? lets leave the other stuff for when you wanna learn it. Now....what do you want to learn about healing?" He asked her, smiling.
