Minage Yuki and Ari Junrei have a race

Speed training session follows

{AJ} Ari JUnrei was dressing himself that fine and cloudy day with the sun forcing its way through parts in the clouds to create a stark contrast of light and shadow.  Why was he getting dressed? Well normal people get dressed after they get out of bed even if they have nothing to do you nosey jerk.  Anyways, he was throwing on his new poncho style hoodie over his sleeveless top, displaying his clan's symbol on the top of the hood and on the back of the cloak.  His star patterned headband was over his forehead with his brown bangs outlining the decagonal shape on the metal plate.  He was even hanging his new goggles around his neck as he looked throughout his room for his pants.  Where the hell could pants have run off to on their own? It's not like they went on a triathalon without some legs filling their holes up (take that out of context as you will you dirty minded reader you).  When he found the pants under his bed for some reason, Ari slipped on the special water resistant fabric leg coverings, also known as pants (but we used different terms to avoid redundancy in this case).  He found his Air Tobirama tabi and slipped them on.  He figured today would be a good day to go do some jogging at the training grounds to see how fast he could be.  It was getting tiresome with how often Kaiiaki was punching him out of nowhere with no time to react.  He looked at his collection of tools on the table and thought for a moment about exchanging them at the shop for something else.  But he still gathered all of his things, especially his special water bottles, before he left his house and took in the scent of freshly made wantons from the marketplace on his way to the training grounds. Once he finally arrived, he would start preparing himself for a run by stretching this way and that, limbering up his limbs, who would have thought? {AJ}

Minaa: Minage Yuki was at home standing next to his open window and looking at the clouds and lost in deep thoughts about training and getting stronger. As he watched the clouds slowly fade away one by one he felt a deep cool breeze slip past his window reminding him to get his ass dressed and onto the training grounds. He threw himself onto his closet and quickly got dressed as fast as possible due to his urge to train. Just be for he was about to run out the door he slowly walked up to his table picking up his Yuki Clan necklace and gave it a small kiss before throwing it around his neck. After that he ran out the door with major excitement that can clearly be seen on his face as he headed to the training grounds. And then he finally arrived at the training grounds breathing heavily from running too fast without a single thought about his stamina.

{AJ} Ari was in the middle of twisting his back to the left and right, popping his spine in the process about a dozen times each way, when someone came onto the scene.  It wasn't anyone he recognized from the chunin exams, and they weren't dressed like a jounin, so logic dictated that they were a genin or an academy student.  Ari waved to the new guy, "Hey. Were you wanting to use the training grounds today too? I was gonna go for a run for a few hours if you want to join."  They really needed to invest in the deforestation of some areas to make some more training grounds.  But regardless of the answer, Ari was going to start jogging around the field, just getting an even pace to get his blood flowing and get himself ready for a full on sprint festival extravaganza!  It would not be until his first lap around the area that he picked up the pace to a run, waving for the new guy to come and join him in the cyclical track. {AJ}

Minaa: Minage Yuki had his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath as he felt alittle sweaty from the little sprint he just had. While Minage was catching his breath he noticed a Ninja that he has never see before calling out his name in a loud enough tone for Minage to hear and asking if he would like to join him for a run. Minage stared right back at him with a puzzled/excited look on his face thinking to him self “Hmm I see a head band, so he must be strong! Is this my lucky day?” So Minage sprinted towards him with excitement asking “Are you strong?? While he clenched his hands into a tight fist due to his eagerness.

{AJ} After a couple of laps going around that circle with a full run going, it was time to sprint and push his top speeds.  'Are you strong?' that was kind of a silly question to ask out of the blue, now wasn't it?  Well Ari obliged the kid, "That's kind of an odd thing to ask," no Ari, you idiot, talk to him, "Why don't you tell me why you want to know that while you find out."  And then Ari was peeling off into a full on sprint, picking up speed to get to his max speed gradually, leaving the Yuki in the dust unless they picked up the pace to get caught up. {AJ}

Minaa: Minage slightly laughed as he was asked why it is he wanted to know. So Minage opened his mouth and before a single word even came out he the Ninja started sprinting forward really fast out of no where, startling Minage. Minage screamed out “Ehhhh??” so he threw his right foot forward feeling a little adrenalin rush kick after witnessing extreme speed, so he tried bolting it after him. Unable to to keep up at all Minage inhaled very deeply to the point where it was impossible to inhale anymore, and scream out as loud as he could with the biggest smile on his face “WHERE DID YOU GET SO FAST?!” Minage was trembling in excitement at this point feeling his hands shake a little

{AJ} Ari turned around and started running backwards while keeping his arms outward to keep himself balanced to let the Yuki catch up, "When you have a teammate and a former sensei who try to keep you on your toes with the constant presence of attempted killing, you learn to move a little faster.  Though my one teammate is even faster so I am trying to match her speed so she stops getting the drop on me."  He reached behind himself and uncorked one of his bottles of water, downing its contents in its entierty before he shivered all over from the static feel of the water.  With that little boost, Ari was so invigorated that when he turned around to run forward, he kicked up a dust cloud half his height when he bolted at just a little over his max speed, now he had to keep this trend going! {AJ}

Minaa: Minage finally caught up to Ari once he has slowed down a little and ran next to him while hearing him out and laughing at the part where he said “Attempted killing”. Minage was glaring at Ari the whole time with a smile and thinking about how cool it is being a ninja. Even tho this pace of running was alittle hard for Minage he pushed himself really hard to keep up while feelings a slight burn and tense feeling in his legs. Minage finally open his mouth and spoke “ Earlier I was going to say I asked because I want to train and become stronger!”

{AJ} Well Ari didn't hear the second thing Minage had to say as he was already barreling down the path of the training grounds, feeling so energetic with that special water in his system.  He was able to pick up enough speed that he was nearly on the complete other side of the track as Minage.  Not even breaking a sweat thanks to his stamina, Ari was able to push himself just a little bit more to start closing the gap between himself and Minage.  This time though he was catching up to the Yuki to lap him.  As he got near the genin/student, he spoke to him a quickly, "Come on, keep up!" {AJ}

Minaa: After Minage witnessed Ari’s speed and stamina, Minage suddenly felt a blow of motivation and passion hitting him pretty hard. Out of nowhere Minage’s facial expression turned very serious while he turned his head from Ari to the track in front of him that was about to curve to the left. Minage let out a little battle cry and began rushing forward as fast as he possibly could, feeling the intense emotions of excitement taking over his body to the point where he forgot about everything else and thought about making an attempt for a full lap at top speed.

{AJ} "No need to blow a gasket with all the yelling!" Ari called out to the kid, "My name is Ari by the way and I just lapped you once. Betcha I'll do it again two more times!"  Ari was taunting the kid as he continued running, starting to feel the burn of forcing his body to run beyond his normal top speeds for an extended period of time.  It was like the adrenaline of becoming faster was fueling him when it was the funky electrolyte water that was keeping him hydrated and his lungs from burning with each inhale and exhale.  He was still in perfect condition to keep this up! {AJ}

Minaa: “Again? Haha, yeah I bet you can but don’t worry I’ll train to be better then you!” Minage looked at Ari with a smile and laughed afterwards he had said so. Since Minage has never pushed himself to this extent before and his legs felt as if they were burning passionately with a wild fire’s blaze within then. Minage had felt over joyed and didn’t hold back, he kept running along the track as fast as he could without a seconds break, trying to achieve his goal to the finish line at stop speed. Minage felt the wind hitting his hands and face like this for the first time ever while running at fast as he could. As Minage got closer to the finish line he could feel his legs were about to give up on him and slow down at any point, but he still kept going but at a slightly lower pace. About 20 meters away from the finish line he was drenched in sweat and felt like as if some one had sucked all the air out of his lungs. Minage suddenly felt the wind swoosh past him to only find out that it was Ari completing another lap, hence giving another blow of motivation to Minage. So for the final 10 meters that Minage had left he said to himself “Oh screw it !” Letting out another stupid battle cry and blotting towards the finish line that was a few meters away and throwing him self on top of that white line that he ran after. “Oh boy –heavy breathing- I never thought I would train this hard today- Barley able to breath while he was trying to catch his breath. Minage looked up and saw Ari coming in for another lap so he slowly lifted his torso up off the ground and sat there smiling and breathing heavily to see what he has to say

{AJ} Ari started skidding to a halt when he came in for the fnal lap with Minage lying on the white finish line that was there metaphorically.  But with how fast he was now (a speed he was not used to), he flailed to stop himself and lost balance.  Ari tumbled forward and rolled around several times before coming to a halt in a bush.  After a few seconds, Ari breached out of the bush and dusted himself off, "Okay then, next time, stop sooner.  Welp that was fun. I will see you around okay?"  Ari ontinued shaking leaves off his person and out of his hair, walking off back toward the village to get some rest at home, drinking from his second bottle of special water. {AJ}
