[LENA?!]

The sweet and mellow sounds of birds chirping were what awoke Lena from her deep slumber. The sun shined brighly through her window as the first rays of dawn began to show. The sky was still it's perfect hues of pink, purple and orange and the son was barely a ray across the horizon, though it managed to reach her small bedroom in her cramped apartment. Pocket, the three-legged dog she had adopted, jumped on her and she grunted before slowl and gently nudging him off of her. She pulled the covers from her and grabbed her towel, walking into the bathroom. She turned the water on and let it run over her body, still sore from the previous days training. She had been to tired to take a shower the night before and and she washed the dirt and grime from the previous day, washing her long black hair too. She stepped out a few minutes later and then stepped out, wrapping a towel around her body,

Pocket was there to greet her at the door and she chuckled as she petted him, kissing his forehead. His 'wife' Polly and their pups attacked her feet as she walked into the kitchen and Lena chuckled as she poured herself a bowl of cereal, practically inhaling it as she quickly ate, waiting for her hair to dry. She then packed her lunch and patted the pups before removing her towel from her body and wrapping it around her hair, putting on her normal outfit. She then let her hair down and brushed it, pulling it up before walking back out of her room. She fed the dogs and grabbed her lunch, walking out of her apartment. She loved the smell of Kumo in the morning and she nearly moaned as she inhaled the intoxicating smell. She made her way toward the training grounds and was extremely surprised to see someone else there.

"O-Oh! Good morning" Lena said, waving at him. "My name is Lena, who are you?" she asked.

[Toru]

Toru truly hadn't expect any Kumogakure shinobi to be appear at the training grounds — he had assume most were off doing missions, prepping for the Chuunin Exams. Especially since this was the first exam ever to occur, the very exams he, himself was training for; even though he lacked the techniques for such an event. "Ughh, hey? Honestly wasn't expecting anyone to appear here today." He replied back towards the female, while he began to wipe off the dust on his shoes.

He began to walk closer to the girl, whom was only a few feet away from him. Stretching out his right tentacle to show respect, "I'm Toru Airontoku, from squad Namitsuki, and you are?" Toru showed no sign of rudeness, since the shinobi was a female; a gender that he truly favored more than males. Even though most of the females deemed him a pervert, for minor things he did.

Thing which he felt was not perverted in any way, such as staring at the girls' hot bathes. The bathes barely had any defense, neither a concrete wall — so what was so bad about taking a minor peek? Stuff like that confused the youth, and truly troubled his mind, but it was time to focus back on reality and this girl before him. "Since you're here, do you mind training together? I can truly use a partner to better this dull day." He stated with a half-hearted smile, trying to not look creepy in anyway possible.

It seemed he lacked companions for the day, because his teammates seemed to be rather busy. Leaving the poor youth to be by himself for the entire day, but it seemed this female was her to help him out. Maybe they would hook up or even get drunk? Who knows to be honest? Only the NRP gods above, would know the truth, but Toru honestly was just looking to train today. He felt like he still was weak and could grow stronger as a ninja, as a Kumogakure ninja especially.

[LENA?!]

Lena, too be very honest, hadn’t expected anyone else to be at the training grounds either. She had fulfilled her mission requirement for the exams, so she was no focused solely on getting her techniques more advanced or just learning new ones in general. She was sure that whomever she was allies with, if the chance appeared, would love her good defensive and medical skills- the fact she could turn practically anything into bandages alone was a good advantage, none the less her good defensive and offensive shoton skills along with her ability to sense chakra and also her ability to extract poisons and heal certain body parts that have been injured. She didn’t doubt that she could make it on her own, but having allies would always been a good thing, right? Especially considering neither of her team mates wanted to participate in the upcoming exams.

“I wasn’t expecting to see anyone here either” Lena sad with a smile as he began to come closer to her. “It is nice to meet you, Toru- My name is Lena Kaiser from squad Shouta” she said, gripping his hand in hers and giving it a nice shake. “I happened to meet your sensei the other day, he tried to help me improve my Doton jutsu” she said, smiling at him.

“He’s a nice guy”

she said, nodding her head. She had heard a few stories about Toru’s perverted deeds, but she would trust him until he gave her a reason not too, which he hopefully wouldn’t do.

When he offered to be her training partner, Lena’s face began very bright and happy. “What a great idea! I doubt anyone else is going to show up, so we can work together… and I made extra lunch, so If your hungry we can eat together too” she said with a smile “Is there a certain technique you want to do?” she asked him.

[Toru]

Sanguine pools stared in disbelief to the female's words, causing the Airontoku to step back a few inches. "You're apart of the Raikage's squad? You're rather lucky, I heard he's a great shinobi." He honestly didn't know much about the kage, but he did hear rumors that he was an elite ninja; a man that can cause many shinobi to tremble in fear. Toru wanted to meet the man one day, but for now he needed to focus back on his training — especially with his new partner for the day.

It had already seemed that the female had prior knowledge of the Doton nature, a element which Toru didn't step into yet. Even though it was one of the natures his clansmen were accustom to.

"So it's safe to assume you have Doton techniques, correct?" A slender digit began to tap the bottom of his lip, as he stated such with curiosity shining within his eyes. The Airontoku hardly came into contact with Doton users, and he was actually curious of training with one in the flesh. It had been a long time since he trained with someone of equal rank as him, thus allowing him to feel more relieved.

His arm rested upon his side, after the girl had shook his hand. Allowing him to know they were going to get along in a sense, unless something magically decided to go wrong. He ready himself to speak, but quickly began to back up five meters before speaking. "Alright, I need to train jutsus of the Lava release, and you are going to train something. We can encourage one another and etc, so let's do this. And after all of this, eating some lunch would sound soo good."

Toru began to prepare himself to get ready to train, he wanted to increase his Youton techniques more than ever. He lacked Katon and Doton, but he knew eventually someone would train him, allowing him to master some techniques. Maybe even the girl who name was Lena probably could help, who knows? All that Toru did know, was the fact of him going to get stronger, via training. "Let's do this!" He seemed rather pumped . . .

"Be right back," and then he was off.
