The morning sun peeked over the horizon, beams of sunlight peeking through the forest trees. The glittering light of the sun washed over Kasumi's tent, breaking the darkness of her sleep and dissipating the illusions of her dreams. Opening her eyes slowly she hovered her arm over her golden gaze as the sun attempted to blind her. The smell of the dirt and trees of the forest wafted around in her tiny tent reminding her of where she was, as if the hard ground that she slept upon didn't do that already. Sitting up she dug around in her bag which she used as a pillow and pulled out a bottle of water, taking a sip and grabbing an apple before coming out of her tent. It was a cooler day than it had been yesterday, but then again the temperature during such a time as this was always pretty low. Today was the second day of training and this time she would work on her taijutsu. This training should be just as simple as the last if not simpler. She liked fighting anyway and she decided that she would do most of her work in Taijutsu no matter what. But for now she needed to set up the base for her future
First she started with stretching her body. She needed to not cramp up during this rigorous training. First she pulled one arm over the other and then switched arms to do the same to the other. Stretching her legs out was next and she twisted her body a bit before getting down on in a running position. Breathing deeply she started a break out run. She would run to the other side of the island and back. The run though didn't really start out in full burst, she just jogged faster than she should have before picking up the pace. Kasumi dodged trees and boulders, making swift dodges and dips around the obstacles. Going over and under the things she went through made for quite a fun run. She was excited as an aura grew around her, she was like a wild animal let free in these forest. No one telling her what to do, no one around to bother her while she did her thing. The ground under her feet changed it's texture multiple times during her run. When she started it was hard, then turned soft and mushy making a sort of " squealsh " sound under her foot. She was surprised she didn't fall with such a terrain being wet mostly with mud splattered all over her pants and kicks. She didn't care though as her feet kept moving without stop. She had to build up her speed and stamina to keep going the way she was.
She didn't feel tired as she neared the third hour of her run and she wondered just how large this Island was. Nearing her fifth hour she could see the trees starting to thin out and soon found herself standing on the edge of a cliff that plunged down into the waters below. Taking in deep breaths of the cool sea air Kasumi looked out at the ocean. It was a rather beautiful sight to her, it was a change of pace from the rather heavily misty village. Sitting down she took a rest and stretched her legs some more. Kasumi felt that she could get this done ever faster if she pushed herself. Taking a thirty minute break she headed right back in the direction she came once it was her break was done and over with. The run was a lot more easier because she knew exactly where she was going and she had memorized the obstacles that were still fresh in her mind.
Upon making it back to her camp she felt herself growing ever hungry and quickly set up a camp fire with some stones and sticks and other materials before starting the fire. Once she was done with that she walked over to the pond and stripped before she jumped in. It was time for dinner and catching fish would help her with reflexes and her speed. Swimming around a bit she enjoyed the cool waters that relieved her body of the heat and sweat she had obtained from her rather long run. Coming back up for air Kasumi began to walk back towards an area where her feet could touch the ground. The fish seemed to be plentiful in this area as she looked into the water to see them swimming about. Slowly the young Furue waited patiently like a tiger about to pounce on it's next meal. " Three...Two....One...STRIKE!" She spoke in her mind as she hand quickly dipped inside of the water pulling out a fish who fought for his life and gasped for air. Kasumi chuckled as her gripped tightened and she threw the fish onto the grass area where her camp was before moving to a new location for more food. She caught a great deal of fish and missed a great deal as well, but she could tell that her reflexes had gotten better.
Satisfied with her catch she began to clean and put them on the fire. While they cooked she decided that she could do a few more exercises before she was done completely. Running up a nearby tree she grabbed on to the rough, bark of a branch. Holding onto the bark with both hands she let her legs dangle downwards. Pulling her body up until her chin was over the tree branch she had done one of many pull-ups. She did about fifty of these before dropping down to the hard ground. Checking on her dinner she poked at it a little and turned the fish over the heat of the fire. The smell of the yummy fish told her that she caught something good. With that she went a bit from the fire and dropped down to her hands and feet and got in a position where she would start her pushups. Her arms were apart while her feet together as she let herself fown and then back up after a three second count. She did five sets of twenty before she removed one hand and began the one handed pushup. Her body felt the pressure but she kept going with another set five set of twenty. Soon she was on to her next arm doing exactly the same. With this done she flopped onto the ground taking a deep breath until she got up to check the food again which was just nearly done. With one more exercise to she got back on the floor but this time with her back to the ground and her feet flat on the ground with her knees up. Pulling her body up until she hit her knees she lie back down, doing sit-ups.
She could really feel the burn now and with all of it done she felt herself become a little stronger.
Moving over to her fish meal she quickly removed the fish from the cooking stick. It was well cooked and she began to tear into fifty fish like a wild best. Putting out the fire she retreated to her tent falling to the ground and falling asleep, letting her dreams guide her to a new day.
