It was such a nice day out in the village, which made great weather to train and tighten up skills. Of course not yet having a mission for a bit Alessia so she decided to be near the cost. The waves were relaxing and calming for this spark of energy. She was learning to better her skills, and an attempt to calm her mind; though, that rarely worked due the things she thought of. She sat on the coast line with her eyes closed attempting to concentrate, this was usually how she was able to come across new abilities. Sadly she couldn’t even wrap her head around focusing on anything. “Ughh” she said out loud. Alessia stood up figuring she couldn’t focus on the waves as she did when she was a kid. She pulled out her sword and started to swing it through the air creating a bit of wind with each swipe; though it was only her with her strikes she could do any damage. Even so her sword was only as strong as what she was able to make it. Alice wished she could make her lightening through the sword. She knew that would be a bad thing for her.
Alessia stopped moving her sword around and stared into the water. It was actually a good way to learn how to move like it. Always moving and loose. It was pretty good to take life like it and know what one could do. Ali was grateful for where she stood she took in a deep breath as the fresh air was charming and nice. She heard some footsteps behind her and still had her sword out just in case she was being attacked.

Katherine's Usual ClothesKatherine could be seen walking along the beach Byakurai Raiken strapped to her back. She was dressed in her usual clothes for when she was on her Anbu duties. A jacket that exposed half her chest and midriff area the collar high enough to act as a partial mask to hide her mouth from view. She also wore her hakama with a black sash tied tight around her waist to keep them up and finally matching black sandals with white socks on. Her eyes were closed as she walked along now. Her and Esmerelda had been staying in a cabin nearby the past few weeks catching up on all the time they had missed with her fiancee in being a coma for the past few years. They'd never felt closer then they did now which was comforting she never wanted to lose Esmerelda ever again she'd be damned if she did. Soon enough she spotted a young female nearby a sword in hand. She would guess she was a few years younger than herself. Upon closer inspection it seemed she was a Kumogakure Kunoichi like herself possibly a Jounin. "I mean you no harm I am from the same village as you. I'm Anbu so you probably haven't seen me around much." Katherine would say now stopping to leave a little distance between them now. Then she'd turn to look out at the ocean now arms folded against her chest now. "My name is Katherine Storm of the Storm Clan. What brings you out here? She hoped she would give her name in return it'd be awkward calling her girl constantly. She liked to at least know a stranger's name she could care less about their full backstory unless a mission called for it. Hopefully the girl had heard rumors of her after all she was Kumogakure's infamous Shark Empress because of her trademark techniques using a shark made of raiton chakra.

Alessia was a caught off guard from the women who stood before her. This was like her favorite of all the ninja’s in her village, Katherine Storm. Alice knew this was a ninja not to mess with but she had talent and was a bit older than her. She smiled and put her sword back in the sheath at her side. The blonde’s outfit was nothing compared to the outfits of the Anbu; hers was simple a pair of tight flexible black pants and a tank top that matched. “Sorry, never can be too careful sometimes.” Alessia said with a warming smile. It was weird to actually meet someone who was as infamous as Katherine was in person. Ali knew even if they were in their village people could still act them. It wasn’t really a thing that they worried about too often. “It’s nice to meet such a famous ninja from the cloud village. I am Jounin Alessia Yuuki, and I am not a part of a clan.” She said with a laugh. Her family was small and well not really a clan. She only knew of her mother and father to be in her family. She smiled at her question of being out here next to the coast. “Well…” She started knowing that it was probably going to sound ridiculous. Alessia thought for a moment for all the reasons she was out there, settling her mind a bit and all. “Well you see, I was out here to train. Then, well I attempt to calm my mind. Which, for me is nearly impossible really. So I was just swinging my sword around at least to create something out of it.” Ali spoke softly and almost embarrassed at admitting all of that. She would have loved to say that she was meditating or doing what a normal ninja.

She couldn't help but notice she seemed surprise at who she was. Most usually did know who she was but just didn't car men especially knowing she was into women more. "Understandable." One never could be too sure if someone was actually themself knowing some shinobi were perfect at transformation techniques. If the girl wanted proof then she would gladly give it to her after all no one could replicate the Storm clan techniques. She would make a small smile in return as the girl spoke of being honored to meet her before giving out her name. "Pleasure to make your acquaintance then Yuuki Alessia." Perhaps she idolized her the idea seemed foreign to her. Who would ever look up to her she had to wonder. She looked back as Yuuki spoke again explaining why she was out here. It seemed she had come to train only to give up opting to meditate or something akin to it. "I often come here to train myself. I perfected my latest technique out here." Katherine would reply looking back out to the ocean again. She been inspired to create it after seeing some sharks go after a school of fish. She'd spent weeks working on it and managed to finally perfect it finding it quite taxing on her chakra opting to use it as a last resort. "I hope I don't intimidate you or anything. I can come off strong sometimes I guess." She'd heard some of the rumors before. That she was mean or stuck up towards others. She might be when she was upset but she usually kept it to herself then. She was in a content mood today so she was actually being really nice for a change now that Esmerelda was back in her life.

She smiled at Katherine understood what she meant about not being too careful. It was one of the first thing Alessia’s father taught her about being a ninja was usually to be on her guard when she was alone. Her looks never did her just when she was in fights, most guys thought she was weak. Ali had wished her family had techniques she could have used to identify her; though, she was easily identified by her energy and craziness she brought to the table. She smiled as Katherine spoke about coming out her to often train and where she had perfected her last technique. The coast was great for everything it seemed like. “Please you can just call me Alessia or Sparrow. I don’t mind.” She said with a laugh. Sparrow came for the fact she had a bird tattooed on her hand and the fact when she was younger she would jump through trees and act like she was flying through the air. It was the only bird she knew of that was small but had amazing abilities. “You really did that? You are so lucky! I sadly don’t think I have the focus to try creating a technique on my own.” She said figuring her ability was usually limited by what she was able to put her mind to sometimes. Ali was glad to have some company with her. She cocked her head a bit when Katherine of coming off strong and intimidating. The blond shook her head quickly no. The other female had come off as being friendly and nice, and was well someone to talk to. “Please you don’t! You seem friendly and nice. Of course most people think I am a bit too crazy for their taste and for that I do apologize for it.” Alessia spoke knowing full well she could come off as a bit annoying and such.

Katherine understood all too well about being safe since she was in the Anbu black ops. Trained to study people intently so they would notice when it was a transformation technique or a clone. While she had never seen this woman's profile any she seemed legit enough. She could relate though when younger most guys had looked down on her as weak. How could a woman ever be stronger than them they would say to her. Training long and hard with her Genin teammates she had beaten them all and became a Chunin. Then they'd come to respect and even admire her. "As you wish Alessia-san." She preferred her full first name rather than when people called her Kathy. It was rather annoying when they did so and she'd made it clear she'd hit anyone who did. "Perhaps you just need a mentor to train with. Someone who can teach you what they know. Learning what they know you can create or perfect whatever techniques they might have been unable to themselves." Katherine would reply looking back at Alessia now. With proper help and guidance she would be able to achieve anything. "I am glad then I have Esmerelda to thank for that. She makes me feel happy and mellow again. You are alright you do not annoy me at all." Katherine would reply now a smile on her face. She was glad the woman was comfortable around her at least. She could see them possibly being friends at least someone to talk to sometimes or train with if need be.

Alessia looked out on the water loving the site of it, she was still paying attention to Katherine of course. She looked back at her as she spoke saying her first name. Most ninja’s would call her Yuuki, a name she knew she could never live up to. She thought back the only reason why she couldn’t live up to her last name was because she was attempting to follow in her father’s footsteps. As it stood, most figured because of her looks and nature of personality she would never amount to what her father accomplished in his time as a shonien. She smiled a little as Katherine spoke of maybe getting a mentor and perfecting techniques that way. “A mentor would be great to have. You do have a good point Katherine, I think it would help me greatly. I would though have to get a mentor who understands me.” She said with a laugh. It was true though, she had a hard time through the academy due to the ninja not understand quite her abilities and personality. Alessia always though acted out of line and almost kicked her out of the ninja academy. Of course she has grown up since then and was a bit more mature than what she had been in the past. She smiled when the other female talked about someone making her happy and mellow. It was always good to have someone who did that to oneself. Though, Alessia didn’t have anyone like that. Partly because she hated relationships and most of her friends usually were on missions when she was. A sigh of relief came from her mouth in the fact that she wasn’t annoying Katherine. “That’s always a good thing though. Esmeralda must be someone special then. I am glad to hear I am not annoying of course. Please let me know if I do.” Ali said with a smile on her face. She was so grateful to be talking to Katherine about all of the different things. She hoped to spark a friendship with the other female, and in hope to train alongside her.

Katherine might seem a little spacey at times but she was always paying attention. She'd trained to hone all her senses individually she could look at something and still hear something else like someone talking to her. Something she'd perfected in the academy so she could believe it or not slack off in class to take naps since she did most of what she studied at home when she trained with her father. "Kunoichi will always be looked upon as inferior to some but it's up to you to stand out and show your true worth." A random comment maybe but she felt it was true. Because they were women they were considered weak typical stereotype but she'd disproved it and if she trained Alessia then she'd inspire her to believe it too. "I'll train you if you wish Alessia-san. I could use a sparring partner." Katherine would simply say now looking back to Alessia. If she didn't possess Raiton chakra nature though there wasn't much she could teach her but being from Kumogakure a village famous for mainly having raiton users she had no doubt it was one of her natures. She'd been in the top of her class despite slacking off making some of the best grades. "Don't mention it and she is but I wont bore you with that story as it is a long one." Esmerelda made her happy plain and simple just by being with her. They'd met in the Chunin Exams and what started as a crush evolved over time into true love. She'd smile at the thought wrapping an arm around her stomach now she loved her enough to want to have children for her someday.

Alessia heard her speak about Kunochi being seen as inferior to others and it was up to her to show her worth. She had been trying for years to show her skills. Although from the fights she had with several males she proved herself showing that she was pretty good at fighting. Alice knew that people thought things, and females were seen as being delicate. “That’s good advice. I never understood why people think we are inferior but in reality we are pretty strong and there are things we are able to do.” She spoke with a serious tone. The things she knew she could do versus others was in her flexibility was a major one and the things she could do with it helped her technique greatly. Then Katherine spoke about being her mentor and a sparring partner. Her face brightened up and a smile so bright along with it. She couldn’t believe it was happening but none the less knew it was an opportunity that she could not pass up. “Really?! Of course I would love that. Thank you so much!” Alessia said bowing a bit to her. She was so excited that her idol would be training her. She smiled as Katherine started to speak again about Esmeralda though not to many details about her. “I bet it’s a fascinating story though!” She said curious about how the two met. Though, the blonde knew not to press on if someone didn’t want to talk about their stories. She had secretly hoped she would have something like that. At the same time she hated the fact of being tied down or how guys were around her. Though, a few would get slapped across the face as well.

Katherine had showed her worth early on and it had paid off. She'd always been a great fighter reckless maybe but good. She'd been stubborn at times and not listening to her father nearly killed herself in the Chunin Exams in order to beat Esmerelda. In the end she'd won but she'd put herself out of commission for a week or so. She'd been scolded and afterwards took more care in her training and lessons fighting smarter than she might've before. "Some men are just stuck in their inferior ways of women." Times had changed and most Kunoichi were respected as much as any Shinobi was but there would always be some looking down on them. She'd smile at Alessia seeing how excited she was at by her offer seeing her bow to her now. It was nice for a change to be admired by a fellow Kunoichi of her village. She'd walk to the woman placing her hands on her shoulders now. "I'll do my best Alessia-san. Training wont be easy so I hope your up for the challenge." She'd retract her hands now placing them on her own stomach again. Katherine would do her best to accomodate Alessia's different personality quirks to suit the training to adapt to them. At the mention of her story she would smile again nodding her head. "I like to think it is. We met in the Chunin Exams believe it or not she'd been crushing on me the whole time. We've dated ever since and now we're engaged to be married." A quick summary should suffice for the girl not wanting to bore her. They'd been on more dates than she could remember and then there was the coma incident after getting engaged. Now things were back on track for the two and she was happy things were perfect now.

Alessia hadn’t quite shown her fighting skills to many; though, the ones who had seen her fight thought she was pretty good. None the less she wouldn’t let that all go to her head. She kept herself level headed with of course the side of crazy. For what it had been worth during all of her exams she showed her strength and ability to never be under estimated. Though, for her Jounin exam she had found herself to be a bit off with fighting. “Of course it is lucky most men have accepted us being ninja.” She said with a bright smile. She knew that there were some ninjas out there who thought it was a bad idea to let Kunochi on missions with them. It didn’t matter though, changing times showed that they were as confident as ever. She smiled as Katherine spoke about the training not being easy. It was going to be a challenge, something that Alessia wanted and needed to get her game up and going. “Of course! I am always up for a challenge. I know training won’t be easy but I’ll work my hardest.” She said with a smile on her face. It was true though, when she was able to train with someone personally she knew that her attention would be at its fullest. She could tell this was going to be a good friendship that was sparking up. Alice listened to the summary about how Katherine and Esmeralda met during their chunin exams. It sounded like a cute story already. “That is amazing. Well then congratulations.” She said happily. She loved the fact that people had found their true love.

Most only knew of her Storm clan techniques and her Anbu skills. Even fewer knew of her special Storm clan techniques she created and perfected. Her alias had been given when a bystander from the village witnessed her training using the shark-like technique to swallow up a clone and drive it into the ground completely obliterating it leaving a nice sized crater in it's wake. A frightening technique for sure and one not many wished to face. "Indeed." She simply replied not that she cared for some man's opinion of her anyways. The only opinions that mattered to her were those of her colleagues, friends, and Esmerelda her's being the most important one of all. "Good then we may start anytime you wish all you need to is make a request." Katherine would reply looking back to Alessia now. She'd tried to take on a student a few times but most find her too intimidating if not because of her looks then her personality. She was blunt and honest with people if they couldn't handle that then too bad she wouldn't change to make them happy. They could take her as she was or not at all the choice was up to them in the end. "Your welcome to an invitation if you want one. I still need to find a maid of honor." Katherine would reply scratching one of her cheeks now where one of her tattoos were located. It seemed she had sparked a great friendship with the woman and it felt nice she needed a good friend to train with and talk to.

The one thing that Alessia learned that she could do was one technique of which she transmitted through her Kama’s and sword. Lightening Release: Wave of Inspiration was one her strongest technique she had and probably the only one that people feared when they were paired against her. Of course that was to say if they knew she could use the weapons she carried pretty well. Alessia was nowhere near creating her own techniques, she would love to one day though. She couldn’t believe that it was happening being able to train with someone besides her father of course. Even though her father had given her a lot of training since she was just a little kid and most of her fighting skills came from him. He was now retired and taking care of her two other siblings and their quest to become ninja. Her youngest sibling was a genin and her brother was going for his Jounin exam. Both of her siblings weren’t like her at least. Alice’s smile widen as Katherine told her she could start any time she just needed to make a request. “Well… if it’s not to sudden or rash sounding. We could start today. That is to say if you don’t have anything already planned.” She spoke knowing that it may have been a bit early to start training in the fact that people could have plans that would have to take care of. Alessia rarely had plans and when she did usually was blown off for something. It was the huge reason why she didn’t like to date people or believe in romance for herself. She smiled and her eyes brightened as she said she could have an invitation. “I would love one thank you.” She said feeling like a kid at that moment. Though she was kind of shocked hear that she hadn’t a maid of honor yet. “Really? I guess it’s not too bad not to have a maid of honor. You can always go away from traditions and make up your own.” She said to Katherine. Alice seen it a bunch of times with her friends. Most of them had gone away with bride’s maids and just had nice little ceremonies. Alessia though had been a brides maid once before.

After the Chunin Exams with extensive training once she had recovered she had come to master her basic clan techniques. She'd always mostly trained alone up to that point whenever not forced to train with her teammates. It was then her father entrusted Byakurai Raiken to her care. A means to help conduct her raiton chakra even better making it more refined and powerful. Most never understood why it had a big hollow space in the middle of the blade but that was simply to gather raiton chakra which would then engulf the blade extending it's reach even further than it normally could. A quite unique blade indeed when it's abilities were witnessed in action. "Prepare yourself then Alessia Yuuki." Katherine would simply reply as the woman spoke of wishing to now. A woman of few words at times her expression becoming one of serious business now. Training was not to be taken lightly after all a shinobi and kunoichi had to constantly better themselves in order to remain strong so they could protect their village. She would draw her sword now gripping it tight in her right hand now. "You will be the first to get one." She would simply nod at the rest of what was said to her. Esmerelda probably would prefer something smaller and less noisy for a wedding so maybe she was right invite a free friends and they should be good she would think. She would turn to face Alessia raiton chakra roaring into life around her sword's blade now. "Here I come." She would activate her flash body technique raiton chakra surrounding her body and then she shot forward in the blink of an eye she was in front of Alessia and extending her left palm she activated her Flash Palm Jutsu raiton chakra surrounding her palm as she aimed to strike Alessia in the right shoulder which would deliver a powerful shock in the process.

Alessia calmed her mind and had set herself away from the normal crazy girl she was seen as. When it came to train, shockingly she was serious and well even in fights she was pretty serious. She usually would analyze the fighter she was with by being on the defense. She pulled out her sword, it was pretty typical standard katana, with the exclusion of her name being in graved into it. She prepared her fighting stance holding her sword to protect her body from any attack. It was the level headed rarity that the village rarely seen. “Alright I am ready.” Alessia spoke as was building up chakra so she could have something to defend and attack with. Most of her lightening attacks to a bit of energy and required her to have focus enough to control it. She was nowhere near being a complete master of all the techniques but she hoped one day she could be. Katherine spoke about her being the first one to get an invitation. Of course Alice would gladly accept it and would go. She really loved having friends and it was nice that her friends could double up as a training partner. A bit of shock when Katherine turned around with her sword, and probably the coolest thing was coming out of it. Alessia had started her hand signs for the Wave of Inspiration. The lightening of course was in her sword, it was a bit easier to control than having it in her hand. She watched as Katherine appeared right in front of her. She jumped quickly out of the way only to take some damage to her hand. Alice didn’t move out of the way fast enough, training with this shinobi would prove to be a bit more difficult that she had planned on.
