Water Works:
It was near evening as Enja had chose to meet Augus for training. Right now they were among a series of waterfalls and pools that dropped down to the nearby beach establishment of the Cloud Village. It was a more social place, including hot springs and hotels. A bit of a social section where one could relax and have fun.
Enja was near one of the pools, mist obscuring things from view as he looked around for none other than Augus, the rogue ninja who had taken him under his wing. But through all of the fog, he couldn't see him. "Augus?" Enja called out but got no answer. "Master...!"
"Shhh! Keep your voice down," Augus' voice answered with a hush. Enja looked around till he soon found his shadow through the fog.
Curious, Enja approached. "What is it? Shinobi on to you?" Enja said as he knelt beside his master.
"No, but you will scare them off," Augus replied, a grin on his face as he was looking down.
"Eh?" Enja said as he looked down and kept quiet-- till he heard the sounds of feminine laughter. Through the mist and steam, it was now clear they were several landings above one of the hot spring resolrts, the waterfalls providing water for it. And further, the views of several naked women could be seen from that vantage point.
Enja felt a bit embarrassed and ashamed. "You pervert, you only wanted to come here to peek at the bathhouse!" he hissed, keeping his voice down regardless. "You even intend to train me?"
Augus grew an annoyed look and turned to Enja. "I'm sorry, but do YOU have a particular problem with the view?"
He was going to argue, but part of him stopped as it was a pleasant view. The women were no where near ugly and of course, they had no idea they were watching. Some were even splashing. Seeing Augus' point, he glanced at him and stepped back. "Think you can just help me please. WHen training is over, you can gawk as much as you want," he said.
"Sure," Augus said with a shrug, stealing one quick glance at a woman's rack before returning to Enja.
Enja got to the edge of the pool and listened to Augus. They had agreed to work on chakra control so Augus told him the basic's of walking on water. "ALright, runt," he said, yet another degrading youthful nick name that Augus called him. " This training will involve you controlling your chakra to now walk on less solid substances. You are going to try and walk on water. "
The young ninja looked to the pond behind him. "To do this, you have to be emitting a constant stream of chakra from the bottom of your feet to repel the water's surface. This will test your control because you have to be doing in constantly, and changing the amount to use it. " AUgus explained.
Getting the grasp of it, Enja nodded and went to walk on the surface. The sole of his sandal soon met the water as he quickly brought chakra towards his feet. It met, as if stepping on a mattress of a bed. It felt bouncy and at first it was hard for him to control his balance at it. "I think I got it... I got.... WHAAA!"
Splash!
Enja fell right in and Augus grimaced to see him sink head deep into the water. THe pond was small but as deep as a regular person. Coming out of the water, ENja grumped and splashed his way out. "Damn it," he grumbled.
"Well, you work on that for a while. I got some... observations to make," he said. WIth a lecherous grin, Augus proceeded back to the ledge so he could continue peeking at the naked women in the baths. Enja answered this action with a frown of disapproval as he got out of the water to try again.
About an hour later, Enja had kept up with the walking on water technique. Realizing his clothing was just dragging him down after falling a few times, he now stood in his boxers as he stood upon the water. This time, he was able to keep it. It took a bit of work and he felt his chakra already draining... but he kept on standing. It would still take some time before he could be completely capable of walking on water for a while.
"Is this good, Master Augus?" Enja asked. However, there was no answer. "Huh? Augus?"
Stopping his focus, he turned to find that his master had left. Confused, he slowly stepped off the water's surface till he returned to solid ground. Looking around the steamy outcropping of rocks, he couldn't find him anywhere... till he heard voices once more from below.
Looking over the side, the steam was thicker so it was harder to see through it. THough more people were huddled in the area from before. Deciding to risk it, Enja jumped down lower. His own chakra control helped him land safely as well as see where he was going, landing safely on the rocks. He drew closer and closer, now hearing the voice of his master better.
"Another cup, will ya?" Augus voice spoke.
"Hehe... of course, sir," a female voice said.
Enja felt as if someone had dropped a metal pan on his head as he heard what happened and soon saw the steam clear a bit. To his surprise, he found AUgus IN the hot sprits. He was resting against the rocks of the spring, chest deep in the water. ANd what really surprised him was he was not alone as the other ladies in the bath was freely sitting around him!
- Persona touch. No need to read if you don't want :
"What?!" Enja said with shock, a mix of jealousy, anger, and disbelief was on his face as he saw his mentor pretty much partying with the half- naked ladies and they had no qualms about the older man bathing with them.
His voice caused the other girls to spot him and they all either got closer to Augus in protection or sunk back into the water, covering their chests so that he couldn't see.
Augus however sat there unphased, as he had one arm around one girl who was offering him a drink. The very scene seemed very provocative. What was strange was the fact the women didn't mind him there either. THere was pretty much naked and the ladies were all over him. For an old guy who knew he was that popular.
A tinge of envy was clear on Enja's face. And it was only then he realized he was there in his boxers.
Augus let out a billowing laugh. "Ladies, pay no mind to my friend. " he said, urging them to relax. Strangely the looked to him and seemed more at ease to agree with him. "He is good company so he won't ruin the mood. "
Enja grumbled, that the man had left his training to party with the ladies... but of course Enja more envied the fact that his master had so much luck to bathe with them as if it was co-ed. " Oh would I? You were suppose to be training me and here I find you partying. Thanks alot..." he replied.
A cunning grin came to his face as he glanced at the ladies around them, a good half dozen. "Well... you seem to have done a good amount of training for today," he said, "Why don't you join us? THe water is fine. "
At first Enja felt conflicted, but what was strange was how the women were behaving. Normally they wouldn't want the men there but they welcomed him.
"Why yes... why don't you join us, " one of the girls near Enja said, her eyes showing amusement as she looked at Enja. She took interest to his physic and muscles. He felt a few of the girl's eyes on him, and they seemed drawn to him.
Augus' grin only made Enja suspicious, but still, his blood was pumping from both the steam and the sight of being welcomed by so many lovely ladies.
"Oh, what the hell," Enja said as he approached the hot spring and slid in with the others. Augus grinned as they were entertained by the young ladies , seeing as how he knew Enja would in fact enjoy the turn of events.
