Takashi stumbled through the Gardens of Reflection, burdened by the weight of his training suit. It was the first time he had put it on to train with, and the walk from his house to the Gardens had all ready made his muscles ache. He noticed the small amount of people that were there, but he payed them little attention. Takashi grew burdened too quickly to care about the other people there, which was rather odd for him. He was usually paranoid.

Excluding his red sash (which covered his ninja belt), his face, his boots, and his hands, he was covered in the suit. The suit was all black and bulky due to the weights. His short red hair was covered by the weights on the top of his head. Takashi's face was contorted in agony as he struggled under the full weight of the suit.

He found a nice flat area where nobody was walking. He looked up at the sky. It was sunny out with clouds dotting the sky. The birds flew overhead, singing their songs of joy. Slowly he struggled to straighten his head. Takashi took a deep breath, and bowed. He struggled upright again. With as much strength as he could muster, he went to ready position. Then he began his kata. It was a simple kata, using no advanced attacks or defenses at all, but the suit made it hard to just set his stances. The form was sloppy and slow, and before the end of it, he fell. His balance was terrible in the suit. Takashi landed flat on his back, the weights crashing against him. He didn't attempt to sit up. Breathing was excruciating enough as it was....

Hana was enjoying a nice day off in the gardens of reflection. She had no missions and she wanted to have a nice relaxing day. Her hair lay flat and soft as it flowed down her back. Her makeup was light. She had no need to work hard on it since she was only going for a walk. No need to impress anyone. Her fingernails were painted a greenish blue. Her eyes matched.

Hana had been following a cute squirrel that had been scurrying along in the gardens until she came across a boy who was excercising it looked like. She watched a bit. He was wearing a huge bulky black suit. It looked like that was weighing him down though. He moved strangely. Almost like a drunk person. Or like gravity had been cruel and decided to play tricks on him. He soon fell flat on his face.

Hana blinked not worried. That is until he didn't get up. She walked towards him quickly. He was quite handsome. With his red hair and body he looked pretty good. Despite the bulky suit she could see he looked around fifteen or sixteen. She stepped up to his lame body that was in the grass. She pushed a strand of hair behind her ear before speaking. "Um, are you okay?" She wanted to offer some type of help but decided that perhaps that would look like pity. Being one who hated pity herself she didn't want to push any on anyone else.

Takashi could have sworn that stars were dancing in the daylight. His breaths were ragged. His head hurt unbelievably. Of course, he did just land on heavy bars of metal while having metal bars coming crashing down on him. The padding probably stopped any serious damage from being done, but the padding didn't make it not hurt.

As he sat there in pain. He almost didn't hear the "Um, are you okay?" of a woman's voice. He couldn't see her, but he thought it would be rude not to answer. Coherently, he said "Oof helehele." He coughed to clear his voice. "I mean, um..." he took a deep breath. "It could be worse."

Slowly, he struggled to sit up. His face contorted as he did his best only to use his abs to lift the full weight of the upper part of his suit. When he had sat up, and opened his eyes. At first, all he saw were rather large breasts. He felt kind of guilty that that was the first thing he saw, so he attempted to look up. He managed to see her neck before he started to fall back to earth. He noticed a heart shaped mark on her neck. Before he finished his journey back to the dust, he caught a glimpse at her nails. He landed again with a thud.

"I love..." he groaned. He took a sharp breath. "...your nails."

Menda walked into the garden of reflection. From what he was told it was one of the main reasons his mother ended up living here. Menda wore his normal attire which consisted of a black long sleeve shirt his harmonia clan symbol on the back and black pants with black sandals however even though he was a ninja he did not wear a headband. The lush greenery was something his mother loved and it was something he grew up loving too being around it all his life he couldn't help but love it. His mother always had a naturally green thumb and she loved to grow things spending most of the small amount of time she had tending to her garden with her children and relaxing in the garden of reflections. This was her safe haven and when she was not working in the flower shop menda knew she would be here. As he continued to walk he came across a daisy his mothers favorite flower. His mother would always pick a daisy and put one in his sister sojiro's hair and say how pretty the bright yellow flower looked in her brown hair. He couldn't help but flash back to his sister and his mother in the garden laughing and talking while menda played off to the side. The thought of his mother and sister brought a tear to his eye which he quickly wicked away to make sure no one saw. He didn't want anyone to see him crying because he didn't want anyone to ask him whats wrong because he knew he couldn't help but tell them everything.

Trying to collect himself before anyone saw him he heard a random thud in the garden. Something that wasn't very normal for such a peaceful place and he couldn't help but check it out. Even thought this was a peaceful place he made sure to keep his puppet scroll in his pocket at all times just in case of emergencies. As he walked he arrived upon a man that was laying on his back in a very heavy weight suit from the looks of it. He couldn't help but wonder why exactly a man would be trying to wander around in a garden wearing a weight suit but before he could ask anything about it a women went to the mans aide. He didn't want to just stroll over and interrupt them so he just watched from a far trying to avoid helping the man the heavy looking weight suit would actually require him to put some muscle into it which was something he just wasn't willing to do right now.

He tried to wait it out but couldn't resist it and tried to walk over and help the women however just barely missed the chance to help the man up which was something he was starting to regret already. As she helped the man up he could tell the weight suit was putting a large amount of strain on him and seemed almost as if it was too much for him and menda was starting to worry about his health and wondered if he should use a lighter weight vest before trying that one again but that was not his decision and he just looked to the man as he admired the woman's toe nails looking down he noticed that the woman's feet were slightly large then normal which was something that didn't bother him at all. Before the women could speak he wanted to make sure that he would be able to get a word in to attempt to get in on this conversation. He quickly tucked the daisy behind his ear before he spoke.

"Hi my name is Menda Harmonia seems like need a lighter weight suit. Seems like your struggling why exactly are you wearing such a heavy suit."

It was something he was trying to avoid saying but it slipped out but it was something he wanted to know.

Hana was worrying a bit more now. It didn't just seem heavy. His face was contorted in pain. She kneeled down slowly. Her dark blue clothes clashed with the green grass. Hana pulled that stray hair back behind her ear again as it fell into her face. She let out a breath and smiled at his compliment. Though she had seen his eyes wander a bit. Not like she minded.

Though another boy a bit older looking than the other one strolled over. He was just as good looking as the other boy. Hana briefely wished she were a few years younger and not nearly an adult. She would have had fun with them. Though then again, they didn't look too much younger than her. "My name's Hana. Hana Kuroda. Pleasure to meet you. As he spoke to the boy on the ground she stayed silent. He was voicing her own thoughts. She waited until he was finished before speaking.

"Thank you. I change the color quite often. It's a bit of a habit and hobby you could say." Hana tapped his bulky suit. It looked extremely uncomfortable. She wondered why he needed to get strong so fast. She assumed he was a ninja, or a body builder. Though ninja were more common and it was most likely that he was one.

She also assumed he was wearing the hideous suit for training. To build his muscles quickly. Though why he wanted that she wasn't sure. She decided she might as well ask him. "You know. If you started off with less weight you would still get strong AND be able to move around," she said with a giggle. "It just doesnt seem like this is working for you too well." She watched a bit before finally standing back up.

"I'm going to help you up now. I doubt you want to continue to taste the grass." She gave another giggle and grabbed one of his arms under his armpit. "Menda-Kun? Would you mind giving me a hand?" She asked the other guy.

Takashi grew slightly angry as the two spoke. They were both here in pity. Admittedly, he wouldn't have any anger at all if it had only been the girl. Not only that, but the man was now informing him that his suit was too heavy for his own good. It wasn't that everybody thinking that they know what's best for everybody else wasn't uncommon, but at a certain point, it does get annoying.

"My suit is perfectly fine at it's current weight, but thanks anyways," He said with a slight eye roll. Deliberately, he didn't respond to anything else that the male said. Takashi payed close attention to what the girl, who he found out was named Hana, said, although he did not reply to anything. As the girl put her arms under his armpit, he slowly took his arm out. "It's ok, I can stand up." He attempted to throw his legs over his head to do a backwards roll, but the weight was too much. He shot his feet forward to get a rocking motion going, and then kicked his legs over. He managed to roll over his shoulder, but instead of landing on a knee and a foot, he landed flat. He sputtered and coughed from the impact of the weights landing on his back and landing on the weights on his front.

Loudly, Takashi groaned. His embarrassment grew at the failed roll. He put his hands under his shoulders and got into a push-up position. Slowly, he struggled to be completely off the ground. As quickly as he could, he put a knee under him, then the other knee. He sat up on his knees and got a good look at the girl. He couldn't help but noticing that she was quite attractive. He gave her a cocky half-smile. "See?" Takashi held his arms out as if he was made of pure awesomeness. He didn't want to continue trying to get up just yet. He was still in pain from the falling and failed back-roll. Instead, he began to lightly shadow box with just his arms, a feat that took much strength in and of itself.

Hana pulled away as the boy said he wanted to get up himself. She didn't want to force him to take her help. She stood back and was ready to help out if he were to try too hard and injure himself. He struggled hard and she had to admit to herself that she did admire his will. She smiled a bit once he finally got up on his own though.

"Well you did good. What's your name?" Hana asked him with a slight giggle. She was glad that he was able to do it himself. He showed more strength than she thought he had. She mentally scolded herself for underestimating people. Hana then decided to give him a better look to sum him up.

He was different looking that was for sure. His greenish eyes had yellow highlights. They made him look predatory. Though there was a strange beauty in them as well. Like a tiger. That was what his eyes reminded her of. His body was strong, his eyes were predatory, he had pride, and to add to it he had red hair. He did seem like a tiger.

A bird flew overhead and blocked out the sunlight for a moment. As the sun came back his hair glowed almost like fire for a split second. It was gone quickly. She blinked and wondered how much different this guy really was. "You're a ninja right? Are you chunin? Or genin?" she asked him trying to get him to talk to her more.

"Well you did good. What's your name? You're a ninja right? Are you chuunin? Or genin?" Takashi detected a slight giggle in her voice. Naturally, a half smirk formed at his lips. "I am Takashi Onoshaka, genin of Kusa" Takashi did the best bow he could under the weight of the suit and while being on his knees. "And you are...?"

Takashi put both hands on the ground and pushed with all him might to one knee, then to the foot. He took his hands off of the ground, and opened his hips up. This caused him to completely stand. Although a bit shaky, he had accomplished this feat. Slowly, he stood tall, proud to have gotten his battered body off of the ground. He smiled at the girl, intent on hearing what she had to say.

He began to shadow box. Not intense, but just walking through the motions. Even when doing nothing but talking, he could work on his skill.
