Last night, Iruka and Kenji almost lost their lives. Iruk seems to have made some friends for trouble. How are you, the two of them going to lead the way in teaching?

"You two are such idiots. no You guys are assholes. Yes Colossal assholes. What were you thinking following us? You think we don't hire you because we don't want you to get drunk or like what?!"

Now I want to be able to disappear. Fuyu was yelling at us from across the house. He was angry...again. But I think it's probably mostly myself.

"How can you two be adults? When you have no responsibility!"

Well, I'd answer that, but he'd probably break my neck. Neither of us fought back. He was right. It was childish and they really could have killed us. They go to such lengths to do nothing to us, and we didn't appreciate it. I understand that by their feeding once a week, it makes them what they were yesterday. I don't want to say monsters because they're not, but I was afraid of them yesterday.

I hung my head and continued to listen to the expletives until Fuyu calmed down.

"That's it, then. At least now you know. And you know you're not supposed to come after us. I guess you had your reasons. Feel free to keep it to yourself. Let's put this whole incident behind us. Now go. We're about to start classes." He said Haru in a gentle but firm voice and walked away.

I looked at Kenjih.He was having an eye-to-eye fight with Aki. They looked at each other so strangely. Kenji began to breathe raggedly. What's it doing to him? I couldn't stand to look at the two of them like that, so I gave Kenji a little nudge on the shoulder.

"Don't stare at him like that."And I chuckled under my breath. Kenji smiled at me, but said nothing.

He got up and left, and Aki suddenly chased after him. In the living room, I was left alone with Fuyo. I just had a quick look at him. He sat down. He said nothing for a long time.

"Iruka?"

"Yes?"

""I... I wanted to ask... when. Well, when I was in that trance and you almost got bitten. So at the end of the day, you told me to do it.. Why did you want this?" I knew he'd ask. I asked myself that, too.

"I don't know.. When it was almost over, I made my peace with it. I don't really know what to tell you.. I guess if I was going to die, by your hand..."

He grabbed my chin and turned toward himself.

"I won't kill you. I promised to protect you."

I stared into those clear blue eyes of his. Like water, indeed. They were so beautiful. So unknown. Calm, but still indomitable. So pure, yet so mysterious. Quiet, but also loud. It was all there, but it was all one feeling. Concern.

"I'm going to have to go away for a few days."

"Where?"

"Gone. But don't worry, I'll be back. I just need to figure something out."

I got kind of sad. I don't want him to go anywhere. I want him here. And I certainly don't want him riding alone. We had a very special relationship. It wasn't like Fuya with either of the Naruno brothers. A lot of times I didn't know whether he even liked me. Whether he wishes to teach me, but after that there will be times like these, and I don't even know how to breathe. Especially today, he was so tenderly open- minded. He had never behaved like this before. Why is that, but is it? I mustn't think about it so unnecessarily. I reasoned in my head and continued to hear his words.

"Haru will come with me. I thought I could control myself, but yesterday you could see how terribly wrong I was. I need to work on myself."

"No, please. What happened, happened. Don't go anywhere. Don't change for us, we were just wondering whether you're killing innocents or not. "I started to cry.

Now I could see the sadness in his eyes. But then there was relief. I closed my eyes and calmed down a little.

"And what did you find?"And raised a curious eyebrow.

"You're good."I laughed.

Fuyu uncovered his white teeth. Beauty I couldn't describe it to you any more.

"Will you stay?" be quiet I raised my eyebrows. nothing He got up and walked away.

"We'll see."He delivered at the door and disappeared.

We all met outside. This is where our classes will take place. Our first master was supposed to be Aki. Haru, Natsu and Fuyu sat down near us and listened to Aki unload.

"Okay. I can't tell you that controlling the air is easy. None of the elements are easy to control, but you have us. Don't worry, with us as teachers, you can do it. "He smiled smugly and continued.

"So the air isn't just a gust of wind, tornadoes, that sort of metrological phenomenon. The art of the wind also includes mind-reading, how to control the thoughts of others, or how to protect your thoughts. These things are very advanced, and controlling them takes time. So don't worry if you can't do it right away. Then there's speed. I'm sure there's more, but that's all we'll be learning for now. So let's start with the mastery." And he clapped his hands.

"Close your eyes and start seeing the air around you. Concentrate as your skin caresses. The way he plays with leaves, with grass, with your hair. When you think you're connected to it, try to drop that empty bottle using the air. Good luck."He smiled and went to sit with his brothers.

We started to follow his instructions and try to drop the bottle.

••••••••••••••••••••

Concentrate Calm down and breathe. I haven't done it yet. It took Kenji less than 3 hours that day. At my place, three days have passed and still nothing. Every minute I spend in the garden, trying to connect with the elements of the air. The boys have always watched me. Aki's only had a few words of advice about calming down. My mind feels like a swarm. chaos So many thoughts. I can't concentrate. I've had enough! Here we go. I took a deep breath and tried to clear my mind. All of a sudden, my mother's lullaby popped up. It calmed me down. Just like in the mirage. She finished singing and I felt it! The air in my blood. It flowed past my veins and towards my heart and brain. It's like a new world has opened up for me. A completely different way of looking at the world. I was so calm. balanced It's like I'm just floating around not caring. It was a nice feeling of harmony.

Having enjoyed it enough, I began to focus my newfound strength on the bottle. It began to move, eventually flying away. I was startled. What a strength I've developed in myself.

"Oh, boy! excellently You did it. We'll be able to move on to your first spell."He cheered, then calmly announced Aki.
