Aki's Ranking Exam

Lucia Waits in a training feild for Aki to show up.

I approached Lucia-sama as she waited patiently for me in the training grounds.

I gave a small bow before addressing her.

"Okay... What should I do?" I asked the Hikage nervously.

"You are going to fight them.."
Lucia moved her hand to face the left side of Aki. Two Ninja dogs jumped down to the left of Aki. One had only three legs and the other wore a greeb bandana.
"Meet Goku.."
The dog with the bandana stepped forward. His tongue hanging out of his mouth as he panted.
"and Bou."
The three legged dog stepped forward.
"Alright let's do this." Bou said to Aki.
"Ya! Let's do it! Let's do it! Come on Bou!" Goku yelled happily.
"Oh quiet Goku." Bou told Goku.

I smiled at them, not being able to help but be charmed by their doggy cuteness. And then, my smile dropped.

'Oh, no...' I thought desperately. 'I have to fight dogs... Talk about animal cruelty...'

But not wanting to refute the Hikage, I reluctantly drew my baton from my back and took a ready stance.

"Okay, then..." I said, already regretting what I was going to do.

Pretending that I wasn't doing anything, I used my Aerial Waves jutsu, which sent invisible blades of air continuously at the two dogs. I watched their movements carefully.

"Do what you're best at Goku"
Goku builded up a bark in his chest. Lucia covered her ears and Bou took a step back. Goku let out a bark that could shadder windows. The air blades were simply blown away.
"Did I do it?! Did I do it?!"
Goku asked excited.
"Yes you did. Good job"
Bou told goku, stading next to him again.

My Aerial Waves were blown away harmlessly, but I kept them going. This was a jutsu that I could maintain without too much concentration. I sent the blades of wind at them endlessly.

"Navi!" A torrent of water rose from the ground and started to rush toward Bou, the one with only three legs. As she got closer to him, Navi developed the sharper features of a wolf and lunged at him.

"God's Grace!" In the meanwhile, I started to gather water into my baton, in case I ever needed it. I stood my ground in case any one of the dogs happened to escape from my attacks.

(XD Buo is the one with three legs.)
Buo garbbed onto Gaku's bandana with his teeth. Bou flashed behind Aki, bringing Gaku with him.

(Eh? Eh? Really? O_O Oopsies! Oh, but you spelled it two different ways. xD)

I still aimed my Aerial Waves at them, and Navi was hot on their heels. I spun around to meet the dogs face to face. As I flung myself around, I aimed a blow with my baton at Goku, and Navi lunged at Bou (Buo? Which one is it again? xD) again.

(Bou has three legs)
Bou flashed behind a tree hopeing the aerial waves would hit the tree. Gaku grabbed onto the baton with his teeth and forced it back with his emence strangth.

(Mmm? Oh, well, okay. Bou is the one with three legs. Got it. ^^;;)

Because I fully controlled my Aerial Waves, they basically followed Bou even behind the tree, and continued to hit him. Navi also continued to chase after him, and swung herself at him viciously.

My eyes widened as I felt the full force of Gaku's strength, but I kept moving. As Gaku forced my baton back, I attempted to use his strength against him by swinging my baton around without trying to stop it.

"God's Grace!" I commanded. With my counterattack, I released a strong torrent of water from my baton at Gaku, hoping to blast him backwards.
