He sighed before letting her go. He took a few steps back before assuming the meditation position just like last time.
"Have you been practicing? Doing so would have built up your stamina. Let me see your energy orb please," he stated.

She nodded, not saying a word because she was still rather upset about what just happened and she closed her eyes. She breathed in slowly then out just concentrating everything that she could on a point right above her hand. She could feel her hand start to grow warm as a small little ball started to form on her hand. She didn't want to do it too close to her hand or too big just in case it became unstable. She didn't want to be in any explosions. She opened her eyes when she felt it was big enough and looked at him. "Ta da." she said with a small smile on her face. She was so proud of herself that she was able to do something like this.

"Great. You've improved. Now you need to internalize that and push it downward towards the ground," he replied with a sad smile. "It's a little more difficult to push through your lower body since it's usually less sensitive."
He waited and watched to study her attempt. If she failed he wanted to be able to tell her what she did wrong so she could improve more quickly.

She nodded as she concentrated. She tried everything that she could to get off the ground but she couldn't do it at all. It was so much harder then she thought she could. She brushed some of her hair behind her ear as she let out a soft sigh. She was so angry she couldn't get it. "I can't do it!!!" she yelled at him.

He smiled as he watched her until she started yelling. He approached her and stood face-to-face with her.
"You're not keeping calm and relaxed. Pulling the energy to a specific area of your body doesn't require that you tense all of your muscles in that area. Let your muscles relax and imagine in the center of your body an orb of pure energy. Now imagine two hands reaching deep down inside of you and pulling it to wherever you want it to go. The closer to the destination the more the resistance so the hands will have to push more without trying to rush the energy otherwise you have to start all over again."
He sighed.
"I know the failed attempt is frustrating but calm your body and mind once again and make another attempt using the information I just gave you."

She let out an aggravated sigh. She really thought that this would be as easy as he had shown her it was. It seemed like the coolest thing in the world to be able to do and she wanted to be able to prove to herself that her father was a joke and hadn't been the one to stop the evils that the camera's had said he did. She put on an angry frown as she closed her eyes. She let her mind slip away as she searched deep inside her for what he described. She didn't notice her feet slightly lifting from the ground

"Now hold it. Those arms I told you about are now going to serve as a connection between your feet to your inner ki. Don't let them break loose for as long as you wish to float like that. You're doing great. Let's focus on staying close to the ground for now. Once you build up a little more stamina and better finesse you can try pushing more out to gain altitude and speed."
He smiled at her.
"Not bad for my first student huh?"

She kept her eyes close as she listened to his instructions. But as soon as she opened her eyes she lost all concentration and went crashing down to the ground. She was just happy that she was able to do it. But now that she knew that she could do a little bit of it, she was definitely going to try it every chance that she got. She would show him that she was a strong girl and she could do anything he could. Her problem was that she just wanted to feel as good as everyone in life. Because of her father and his very "encouraging words" she never really felt good enough for much in life except to marry someone and have their kids.

He smiled at her as he helped her up from the ground.
"Keep practicing. You're doing great Azmine. Just be careful where you practice. People tend to freak out when they see someone flying. The word freak show got tossed around alot with me."

She pulled her bag close before she opened it. She tilted her head back towards him and blinked a bit. "nah, Your not a freak." she told him before she pulled out a little packed lunch. "I was really hungry last time after this so I figured that we could have a bite to eat. Interested?" she asked him

"Sure," he replied. "If you made it I'm sure that it's delicious," he added as he sat down next to her.
As they sat down and ate, the football team came walking up and the quarterback went to kick the lunchbox of food that Azmine had made. Nobu caught his leg and tossed him back on his butt and stood quickly.
"You're interrupting my dinner date. Get lost. That's the only warning I'll give," he stated.
Two of them started pushing on him until Nobu braced himself and the two of them tried to tackle him. He didn't budge. As they struggled to push he smiled back at Azmine.
"So much for having a good team this year huh? These linemen can't move me nevermind a 250 pound football player who knows what he's doing."
He knew Azmine didn't like bullies so he decided to stop showing off. He sighed and pulled on the two that were trying to tackle him so they landed on the ground on their faces. Then the other five attacked. He managed to dodge them all and give them all wedgies. Now that they couldn't see him they started swinging wildly and ended up hitting each other. If one came close to their dining area he just shoved them away and kept eating.

Azmine stared at him weird and wanted to throw in who said this was a date, but the football team didn't seem like they would let her put in a word. She crossed her arms and stared at him with a disproving look when he started to pick on the foot ball team. She understood he could take down the hole team himself but that didn't mean to pick on them. They would just pick on others to make themselves feel better about their loss.
"Thanks." she said as they continued to eat. As one came back she stood up and ran up to him. "Get your idiot friends together and get the hell out of here before I kick your ass. I am enjoying my meal here." she said as she shoved him back. They instantly knew who she was and knew they didn't want her father to kill them, so they ran the other way. She turned back to him. "Sorry about that." she said.

"Sorry. Was a little annoyed that they were interrupting our meal. I love my food and I like getting to spend time with you," he explained.
When she apologized to him he was taken aback at first, wondering what she was apologizing for.
"I don't know what you're apologizing for. After my pathetic juvenile display why would you need to apologize for that small outburst?"

"I shouldn't act like that in public." she told him as she gave him a small smile. She continued to eat and when she was finished she put everything back in the bag to wash when she got home. "That feels much better." she told him not realized that he had said something before. When ppl flirted with her it tended to go over her head anyway.

"It's quite alright," he replied returning the smile.
He finished his meal at about the same time as her and handed her the dish. "Yes, the meal was very delicious. Thank you Azmine."
He was a little disappointed that she didn't react to his pickup line but at least she was smiling around him now, even if they were small ones. He stood and offered her a hand to get up off of the ground.
"My adopted folks will probably be worried if I don't make it back in time for dinner though so you wanna practice a little more until about four-thirty and then I'll walk you home?"

"Sure." she said with a nod as she let her hand fall into his. She let him help her up and she stood next to him. The bag was packed back up so she didn't have to worry about that. She watched him for a few seconds then turned internal and searched for that power again. When she got a good hold of it she pushed it down. This time it took her half the time it took last time to get up off the ground. She opened her eyes and smiled as she did a little flip in the air. "This is so cool!" she said excitedly as she started to go a little higher.

He smiled up at her before joining her in the air. He didn't show off. He slowly ascended to her level so he could watch her and catch her at a moment's notice if she lost her concentration or exhausted her energy. He smiled as he watched her excitedly do flips and acrobatics in the air.
"You're really getting the hang of this and the best thing about you being able to fly now is that if you wever want to go out your parents can't stop you. Not that I'm telling you to be a rebel or anything but it makes it alot easier to outrun them when they try to stop you from doing anything."

She laughed a bit as she nodded. "That's defiantly true." she said as she started to go higher. She wanted to see how high she could go before she got to tired, even though she was starting to feel it now she wanted to push herself so she could get better faster.

"Please do me a favor when you're practicing this. When you feel yourself starting to tire you might falter. Keep it low to the ground when you begin to grow weary. It takes up a decent amount of energy to maintain this."
He smiled over to her.
"I just don't want you getting hurt because of me or something I taught you so please just be careful."

Azmine could feel her body fighting to keep up in the air and she laughed a little bit. "Well I am really suborn and tend to do things I shouldn't so if I get hurt its my own fault." she said as she felt her body start to slip back to the ground. "Sorry." she said as she felt the hold on that power just slip through its fingers and she felt gravity taking over her body again. She quickly grabbed onto Nobu before her body had a chance to fall to the ground, which was easily a few hundred feet down. She smiled at her accomplishment.
"I promise to only try to go this high when I have you to land on so I don't die." she said with a big grin. She didn't want to make him worry or anything but she had to learn fast. She just couldn't help it. It was her nature to do things like this in that way.

He smiled as he pulled her up to be eye level with him and slowly began to descend.
"Elevator going down," he remarked as they lowered towards the ground. "And thank you."
He set her down carefully once they landed and looked at the clock on the school building.
"Well it's four-thirty. Ready to hit the road?" he questioned, pointing towards the front of the school. "Wouldn't want your mother worrying anymore."

Azmine shrugged. Its not like she really cared to much about her mother. But she didn't wanton to get him in trouble. She nodded then grabbed her things and started to head towards their homes.

Nobu followed her to her house. Now that he was fully clothed and cleaned up perhaps her mother wouldn't be so judgmental about his appearance and Azmine hanging out with him. At least he hoped that would be the case. He wouldn't get his hopes up though. Her mother seemed to be the type to go on appearances alone. While he didn't agree with this habit it wasn't his place to lecture or ridicule her mother.
When they arrived he knocked on the door and stood aside so Azmine could step inside if need be. He could tell from their first meeting that her mother was the overprotective kind so she might want to just reach out and pull her inside and slam the door shut in his face. He didn't mind but if possible he would like to introduce himself at least before she slammed the door in his face.

"Why are u knocking? Its my house. Just come in." She told him as she opened the door. Her mother was in the kitchen cooking.
"Glad u could actually make it home for dinner." Her mother commented as she stepped out into the hall. That's when she noticed Nobu. "Oh hello. Thanks for bringing my daughter home." She said as she crossed her arms. She waited for him to ask for something or want something.

"Hello ma'am. You're very welcome. My name is Nobunaga. You can call me Nobu though. It's a pleasure to meet you."
As he introduced himself he bowed at the waist to her, trying his best to please her with his etiquette. When he stood up he turned his head to Azmine with a smile.
