"Kind of ironic. I thought the Wind Release was supposed to be sharp or something."
Of course, Kagami didn't know that Wind Release Jutsu were sharp for a fact. It was merely something that she had heard when she was at the Academy. During her time there, she had made a point to learn as much about as many things as she possibly could. The 5 Elemental Releases were just a few of those things. Another fact was that she had never encountered the Wind Release before, so she had no idea what people who used it were capable of. All she knew was Yin -- Genjutsu.
Upon mention of the boyfriend, Kagami's body tensed slightly, though she wasn't sure if anybody would notice. She knew that she would probably be able to handle the girl if anything were to happen, especially if she truly was as much of a dud as she was made out to be. The man, however, was another story. He was much larger, older, and scarier than she was, and she knew that she couldn't knock anybody out cold with five blows, let alone one. All she really had up her sleeves were her a few tricks -- a true illusionist cliche.
If what Neru said was true though -- that if they used their heads they wouldn't need to worry about anything going wrong -- then Kagami would have nothing to worry about. After all, she was plenty smart. Whatever higher power existed knew she hadn't made it through because of looks or strength. Her head was what made her stand out, and what allowed her to use her techniques so skillfully. Perhaps the saying "Brain over brawn," was true.
As Neru continued to walk, so did Kagami, making an effort to soften her body and unlock her joints and muscles. The area was crawling with other Shinobi of the village, and Kagami nodded and smiled at each one she came close to. She felt a connection of sorts to them. They were all in the same position, though each of them was at a different depth depending on rank and skills. It seemed strange to her that there would be so many of them near such an upscale part of the village, but maybe she would find herself in the same place one day. A real rags to riches story.
When they came to a stop again, Kagami looked to Neru only to see her looking off in the distance. Turning her head in the same direction, the kunoichi's eyes would land on a tall gate that in design was beautiful, but in application seemed almost sad. Up until that moment, Kagami hadn't been able to understand why a girl who had seemed so happy would want to distance herself from her family and a lavish lifestyle, but right then and there, something in her mind clicked.
"Oh..."
The single sound was barely audible and she wasn't really concerned with whether it was heard or not. It carried with it a tone of understanding and a sort of melancholy. She knew what it was to be unhappy, but she had always thought that she had felt such a way because of her poverty, and that only poor people could ever feel unhappy. A truly naive notion, but something that she had thought to be true for a long time. She was so distracted by the metaphorical walls crashing down that she almost didn't hear Neru give Kenji his assignment.
"What do you want me to do? What's my part?"
