Blair skipped up and down the Open happily. She'd jsut finished taking her Academy Graduation Exam and she knew she was going to pass with flying colors! It was really easy and she couldn't wait for the test results. Her mother would be proud and not only that, she'd be assigned a sensei! Blair rolled into the grass grinning wildly. "Success is a factor!"

Sabin walked to the open only to see Blair. His eyes brightened. "Blair," he called. "May I talk to you for a second," he asked running down towards her. He wanted to apologize for what he'd done that they Asher had showed up while Suri was trying to kidnap Blair. I shouldn've let him convince me like that, Kadaj would be disappointed. "Hey Blair, can you give me a second please," he asked. "I understand is you don't want to talk."

Blair looked at Sabin as he came down. She stood up and sighed. "What do you want," she asked. She then felt bad, he'd only wanted to talk. "I'm sorry, I'll listen." She could tell he really wanted to speak with her. They hadn't talked in months.

Sabin shrugged slightly. "Well, um, you see," he said trying to find the right words. "I wanted to apologize for being really stupid back then. I let my brother influence me, but that wasn't right." Sabin paused and sighed. "What I'm trying to say is that I messed up big time, and I want to make up for it." He said. "Can I treat to some ice cream or something, if you don't mind."

Blair looked at Sabin for a long moment. "I don't forgive you," she said coldly. "Suri was hurt really badly and you showed no mercy to him. You're sick!" Blair felt tears forming. "You could have killed him! Even if he was trying to take me away, you should have just taught him a lesson and then let him go!" Blair shook her head. "I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" She then turned away and started to run.

Sabin was crestfallen. Rubbing the side of his arm he hurried after her. "Wait," he called. This was not how he wanted things to go. How could he have been so stupid back then. What would Kadaj have done. Why did his brother have to leave him anyway. Maybe he was better off without Asher...

(Hehe, time for the Kage/Sensei to butt in XP)

Shana was walking in the open for some time lately, just thinking. When she saw a girl come running her way she sidestepped and grabbed the girls wrist, making her stop. "Woah, calm down, girl." she then realized something "Blair?" she asked realizing one of her students had ran into her. "Whats up?" she asked before noticing Sabin. She let go of Blair and stood in front of her. "Who the hell are you?" she looked calm but the anger was biulding inside her, She would NOT let anyone hurt one of her students. "And why the hell are you chasing Blair for? Is that what you do in your free time? Chase girls like you want to murder them?" She began to tap her foot.

(Uh oh.)

Sabin came to a stop as the woman grabbed Blair and went into a protective mode. "What....no...I was..." Sabin was completly shocked by this woman's attitude. He hoped this was not Blair's mother, because if so, he'd have alot of explaining. I would have been better off letter her run. "I'm Sabin...Sabin Cloud." He said taking a step back.

Shana gave way to small relax. "Don't even think it!" she gave a small laugh at Sabin. "No, not her mom," she gave a small crooked smile. "Shana." she said while the crooked smile turned to a grin. "She's my student and I Would like some explaining of things. Storied from each of you. The whole story." she nodded as her smile faded. "Oh and if you didn't know, A Kage has to watch over her ninja sometimes." she said hinting Sabin she was a Kage.

Blair ignored Sabin's pleases for her to stop. And as soon as Shana grabbed her arm she shook herself away and stopped. "Oh, sensei," shee said. She then looked at Sabin. Ha! He was about to get it now. "Keep him away from me, I never want to see him again," she said. "He's a selfish jerk!" Blair then turned away. "About a year ago he hurt someone really badly, even after the guy couldn't fight anymore! He nearly killed him!" Blair's eyes narrowed. "So I don't want him to speak to me or be near me anymore."

(Sabin your picture is like sooo cute!)

Annie ran full speed to the Open. She had to find Shana and fast! Two Akatsuki had entered the village which meant nothing more than trouble. Her breathing was quick and her chest hurt with the lack of oxygen she was getting while running head on. As soon as she saw Shana she ran faster. "Lady Shana! Lady Shana!" She called at the top of her lungs. "Akatsuki have entered the village, we think there may be a war coming on!" Annie stopped and put her hand on her knees trying to breathe.

Shana's eyes grew big as Annie game running to her. She suddenly forgot about Sabin and looked at Annie "Oh, shi-" she stopped herself before swearing. To much of a habit there. She shut her eyes for a second and thought, "How many?" she asked Annie, a bit of fear in her voice. She hated the akatsuki and wished they'd just leave the village alone, but what fun would that be? "I'll deal with this later," she said to Sabin, remembering what happened. "But know, I have business to do, come on Annie, no hurry when getting back, it's best to surprise them." she said as she motioned her to follow her. "Come on Blair, you too"
