One…alto…two…soprano…three…tanner…

Each string plucked delicately sounding off a riveting sound throughout the area, and echoing within the confines of the thick fog. The woods were nothing more than a large training field for the music to move around the air waves in. Each note sent a musical melody into the air that would draw the heads of nearby wild life, passing travelers, and even ninja. Moths to the flame, and that’s when the flame had spread dangerously and burned them to a crisp.

It has been days on in as Selena’s empty eyes had stared towards her delicate brown fingers. She plucked the strings repeating the succession of all four known singing heights and soon evolved to the familiar symphonies that were on a music sheet. This was her way of training her beautiful, serene, all the while, deadly powers. A finger nail slid along the string administering a small dose of chakra along the thread. Drawing it back, she had held it for a second as she let her eyes glance up towards the sound that interrupted her melody. It was low, but yet it was still somewhat a burden in a small way.

“Do you mind?” her voice like a flower, but somewhat seeming to have a thorn along from where it stemmed as she had made an awkward expression after laying full awareness on the figure. Her mentor that had so well taught her how to use this unique style of training, was engorging himself on a piece of fried wildlife from the area that was drawn in by the music. It disgusted her as he tossed it aside after a short minute of finishing what was left on the limbs and smiled. He lifted his right hand as his course hands with the fingers banded by small wraps similar to Selena’s had wiped at his mouth.

“Sorry! It’s so delicious! You should try some while you sittin’ there and being all melodramatic with that little toy I gave you!” her face sour, but still her eyes daggered him in an awkward expression. She had narrowed her eyes to the point that it was just plain comical and the teacher had slumped his body back from the expression. Hell have no fury like an irritated teenage beauty scorned. She had lifted his hands as he wavered them holding them up in front of him. “I’m just kidding! I’m just kidding! Lighten up will ya? I gave ya food, a home, and my Lyricos! What more do you want?”

She had growled a bit before lowering her head slightly to the point where the right side of her fore head showed a bustling vein from her irritation. “Argh! I want you to teach me the technique for using this thing!” she had said lowly before the figure had given light laughter and then folded his gruff arms and smiling. It was just like a sly raccoon that he had curved his lips and the corner of his mouth had shown small white tendrils. One wouldn’t know what he was thinking as his eyes were coveted with shades as he had stared towards the girl.

“Fine! Fine! Anyway…let’s begin again…” he said as he lifted his right finger. “Your specialty is obvious to me now and it’s just right for you to play your instrument. It’s Genjutsu. Because you have the tendency to play the keys so well, you make great illusions without using hand signs, but that’s because you mostly harness your chakra through the movement of your fingers in a similar fashion that is used to connect the spiritual energy within the body and perform any jutsu. Usually you’d make a sign, but instead since you’re a lost cause…” he had said making another vein bulge from Selena’s forehead at that moment. “You use that guitar as your medium and thus imagine it being the bride of energy for your hands. So the zodiac formations for your instrument are imagined to be twelve finger movements to harness those signs. Let’s start with your “Bunshin” jutsu, shall we?”

Selena couldn’t believe this figure at best. He had been her teacher, but she saw him nothing more as an old coot that was way beyond his days for using this instrument. She had sat up with her back against the tree and her long white hair along her shoulders. Her legs were spread out across the root’s base and her bare feet rested on the grass by her sandals. The appropriate signs had came to mind, but she didn’t make them. Instead, she had started to play her instrument as her fingers moved in an hypnotic fashion.

”One….” the teacher’s mind had counted off watching her move her fingers along the strings of the harp. They had moved repetitively to the point where the single sound had rung through out the area, it signified the first hand sign as her fingers had quickly broke towards the next set of finger movements. Sure it was hypnotic and slow to him, but it was in the eyes of an expert. He of course in reality that her finger movement was so precise, and so beautiful, that when he let go of that mesmeric finger movement, the tune repeated over and over in reality making a song as he stared towards her at the tree’s base.

Across the forest, one by one, the mist parted only bit by bit to reveal silhouettes. Selena’s image of her beautiful skin and peaceful expression as she played had sat at the base of another tree as he stared mainly towards the one right before his eyes. Another had appeared soon after making the exact same finger movement and posture, and then another as the song slowly progressed showing illusions of the peaceful maiden of the forest playing her instrument. If a traveler came, it would be similar to the legend of the Siren creatures that lured men to their death.

The teacher had stared towards her fingers seeing the small padding that plucked the strings. The chakra that was within her body had gathered in those small pockets as she played expressing jutsu through rhythm and music to the point that it was as natural as any hand sign. So help him that it was more potent since he heard captivating music while being surrounded by the young girl’s doubles. It made him feel like potential prey because he was a slave to that instrument from his glory days.

The music ended, her fingers had stopped and the chakra within the small pockets subsided. The images of the young girl in the forest had started to vanish one by one as she let them disperse and ending the simple genjutsu she had caused. “If you keep staring at me like that…” she had started to say as she had her eyes closed and staring to her fingers even though she was aware at the piercing eyes behind those shades. Her mentor smiled at her incomplete statement. “Let me guess…you’re going to blush?” he had asked teasingly.

“Actually…I was just going to call you a pervert and a pedophile, but whatever floats your boat.
He had made an awkward expression as he drew back once again. “Hey! You’re being ungrateful you know that! For every joke you crack is a lesson you lose with this thing!” Selena was quiet as she only had a smile on her face seeing she had gotten on his nerves again. He had folded his arms as she lightly chuckled. “You’re going to teach me, because whether you admit it or not, you adore me!” she had said as she lifted her head and smiled as she placed her hands cutely along her instrument.

“Yeah! Whatever! Can we continue already? We’re getting behind, and you know you can’t stay in this village that long since you’re originally from the Land of Waves.” he had said catching her attention. Selena sighed before leaning her head back to the point where her hair had plush against the tree being a pillow for her head. “Fine…what’s next…” she had asked staring towards the teacher as he had unfolded his arms and rested on his tree stomp. His black attire of pants and shirt had got debris from the wood’s base, but he didn’t think much of it as he started to speak out loud once more.

“Okay! Do you know how to do that changing thing?” Confusion had rattled her as Selena had stared towards her mentor a bit puzzled. “Changing thing?” she had asked only making him scratch his right finger across his cheek. “Uh…that thing where you change clothes…and stuff.” he had further confused her until she narrowed her eyes. “Do you mean transformation?” she had asked making him nod. “Yeah! Whatever! I wasn’t a big fan of it! Genjutsu with that thing wasn’t my specialty. “ he had stated only making her rasp at the sound of him talking. Sometimes she couldn’t stand him for being slow. It was incredible to think he was at least bit to be some kind of Jounin retired. He must’ve been getting sloppy.

“Anyway…” he had announced in a big voice most likely to regain attention from his dumb found moment. “Right now, you’ll pull off a transformation jutsu while playing the Lyricos!” he said making her tilt her head in a bit of confusion. “That’s all you do is practice what you did before with your fingers, but remember, the speed of how you pull off the strumming will decide how fast you slip into the disguise. All we need now is the proper transformation.” he had stated rubbing his cheek.

She didn’t have to think about it, she knew what she wanted to practice as she started to move her fingers steadily to regain rhythm and strength from the rigorous playing. She started to gather chakra into the pockets of the padding that was along her presses. Delicately, her chakra’s aura touched down onto the strings, and then following close behind was her own press stroking the strings and once again plucking to get that delicate sound once more.

This time was different. The sound was serene in a feudal era like in a kabuki play when you’d hear the sound of a strumming instrument in the back ground. It was most likely because the theme of change had presented something just as that. With a swift movement, but artistic with her chakra, she had begun to change right before her mentor’s eyes: Her brown legs and skin were longer than usual and her appearance in her kimono was more of like a common woman rather than a young woman.

Even if that was so, she couldn’t be called a young woman with hips like hers and the ribbon that was around her kimono was red and bowed at the back. The kimono was also a different color. The golden colors of the patterns still the same, but the purple turned into black. Her face seeming to lose it’s youth, but even if that was so, it was because she looked more mature like someone you’d want to spend your life with beautiful house wife model combination. Her very essence, arousing, beautiful even as her hair was longer, but in a single braid that sat along her right shoulder. Her breasts bulged out to that next stage being a D-Cup he could barely imagine in his mind on a girl like Selena, nor did he even want to, but really before he noticed the image of the woman he stared at, something had streamed towards him as he gasped just noticing it.

BONG!!!

The cocky mentor falling back as he had hit the ground with a thud. His nose flowing with blood as he noticed he was hit by the but end of his favored instrument. It was unclear whether his nose bleed occurred had came from the impact of the instrument or the fact he was staring to hard at such an arousing figure. Standing before him, Selena had her hand placed atop the guitar as she had the other hand on her hip as she had already reverted back to her original figure. He had smiled and laughed a bit simply ignoring the impact from the guitar at most as he couldn’t argue with the fact he was gawking at his transformed student.

“I see you had got it right…” he said with a lightly laugh as he sat up smiling as he stared towards Selena who wasn’t in a joking mood as she stood with a stern, straight face. “Out of curiosity…” he had stammered to say to contain his nose bleed while sniffling. “What person where you thinking about?” Selena had stared down towards him as he had took his time sitting up. “My mother…” he had paused hearing the response and then sighed hearing the grass bend in a crunch. He knew she was only walking away since she was most likely not in the mood to continue on after thinking about her deceased maternal mother. It was like a block for her, and the utter motivation at the same time in certain cases.

“Hey! We’re going to try to finish up later, Okay?” Selena had heard him as she stopped walking for only a second. After pausing, she closed her eyes and continued walking, advancing to the resting quarters near the village border letting her option to stay close to Otakagure be her response to continue this training. Her mother wouldn’t want her too, and it was more than enough of a reason to just do that.
