a hawk in training;

[It’s quiet by the outskirts of the city where a rather large rabbit grazes in the middle of a clearing surrounded by trees. It’s not very still though, but only Sasuke would know that--

Until the feed shakes begins to shake just enough to be noticeable. A moment later, it spins, as if falling only to thunk as if in the palm of someones hand and still. There’s a voice, and for the owner, it’s unusually hushed.]

C’mon Sasuke-- you’re takin’ forever.

Shut up, dobe, you’ll scare it away. [Sasuke’s not paying attention to what Naruto’s doing, just watching the rabbit with crimson eyes, just waiting...

Waiting....!]

A little too long... and Naruto is loud. ]
What are you waiting for, Teme!?

[The voice is enough to startle the rabbit, which looks up before dashing off into the bushes.]

Aww maaaaan, You scared it away’ttebayo!

That was you, not me! [An exasperated sigh leaves Sasuke as he simply drops the wire he was holding, which had been connected to the trap.]

Usuratonkachi.

SHUT UP, TEME!

[The PCD falls-- just in time to catch the swing of orange arm toward Sasuke.]

[When the feed comes on it shows Juubantai House's kitchen. There's a pot on the stove with steam coming from it, signaling that something's boiling. There's half of a gutted koi fish next to that, cut up bell peppers next to that, and next to that there's sliced garlic and mushrooms.

...Weird lunch, isn't it?

Sasuke comes in then, looking through all the cabinets for something. When he opens the last one, he just frowns. Looks like someone forgot to check what they didn't have before cooking...]

Out of bean sprouts.

[He closes the cabinet then, and just...glances over at his ingredients.]

...Guess I'm using the whole fish.

[At that, Shadow leaps up onto the cabinet that the PCD is sitting on, and as his tail slowly moves toward it, he knows it over, ending the feed.]

[When the feed starts, this tree can be seen. Sasuke's out training again, and goes through the motions of his Shishi Rendan. When he reaches a bare spot of the tree, he kicks it hard enough to split the truck, and at the moment he does so, his chidori takes over. Instead of just knocking all of the leaves off, it consumes most of the screen in a blinding light as a loud craaaaaack can be heard over the sound of chirping birds.

White noise.

Then, a few minutes later, the feed is turned back on. Sasuke seems to be both visibly exhausted and in pain. Despite that, however, he's grinning a little.]

I'm gonna need some help. I broke my leg and ankle training.

[And then he moves to turn off the feed, before pausing to add in one more thing.]

Don't you dare laugh, aniki.

[Then the feed cuts out.]

[Sasuke turns on the PCD as he knocks it over. There's clattering as it lands on its side, showing Sasuke breathing hard and clutching at his shoulders. He hunches over as something starts to come out of his back, the sickening sound of bones crashing and skin splitting before his shirt tears.

He's crying out now, in agony as the atrocity on his back grows, and grows and grows, until finally...

He's got wings. two very ugly, rather large wings in the same of two very big hands. The webbing between the giant fingers are countless more fingers. They're monster wings, really.

The feed ends as the PCD is knocked onto the floor.]

[When the feed starts, Hinamori's room in the clinic can be seen. Part of it, anyway. Part of Hinamori's bed is also in view, as well as Sasuke and Hitsugaya.

Except, Hitsugaya's sound asleep. Sasuke looks exhausted, himself, but it doesn't look like he's going to sleep anytime soon. Sasuke glances down at the sleeping shinigami resting on his shoulder and can't help but smile a little. Carefully, very carefully, Sasuke moves and wraps an arm around Hitsugaya's shoulders, giving him a slightly more comfortable place to sleep.]

'Bout time you got some rest, Toushirou.

[The feed times out.]

[When the feed starts, it shows nothing but a tree in front. Somewhere just outside of the city possibly, judging by the leaves that are on it. Behind the tree, the sky can be seen starting to lighten up, signaling that the sun's rising. Someone's out early, it seems.

After a couple of minute, there's a yell. Sasuke comes dropping in from the top of the screen, spinning as he comes in to land a kick on the poor tree. It connects, shaking it for a couple of seconds. As soon as it stops, it bursts with chidori, the leaves falling from it in waves.

The feed cuts out.

A few minutes later, it starts back up again, showing Sasuke with several scratches and somewhat exhausted. He's grinning.]

Anyone up for sparring? Sensei, Itachi, Lee? I'm up for anyone.
