*After she managed to empty and clean her mouth from all this disgusting earth and dust in her mouth, Kazuko just coughed a bit more before sitting down properly again, just to be greeted by Kagayaki sitting directly in front of her. She didn't yet know how to feel about her, but she let her be and didn't move away. Molding earth instead of making it? And Ryusa said so? Upon mentioning his name, the Kaguya's face changed. She squinted slightly at the other, letting out a 'Hmm' that was pretty close to her angry growl.* "So Ryusa said so, huh?" *She asked. That dumbass could have taught her too! Now she was kinda grumpy about it. He teaches her that kinda stuff, meanwhile she didn't really get to see him for some time now...* "Asshole... Should kill him for that..." *The girl mumbled, in a way that was near impossible to comprehend. If Kagayaki listened closely, she would make out the pissed mood immediately. Could it be that..? Nevermind.

Kazuko watched the other shape a rock in her hand just like that, and when it was finished, the rock was basically a ball now. Basically, not fully. But it didn't matter. Her eyes moved up to the Ressha's face, now seeing the huge smile there. It still kinda startled her mind that this girl was someone she actually hurt during training, intentionally... And yet, she smiled as wide as her sister always did. Weirdo...* "Whatever you say." *Almost as if she was not caring about her advice there, that's how she acted. Though she took a rock and tried to do the exact same thing as Kagayaki. Closed eyes, hand holding the rock in a way that she could crush it if she just had more strength. Once again it looked like Kazuko was angry, but at what or who? Either way, once her hand revealed the rock again, it was also formed into something else. A smoother pebble. It worked!* "Huh..." *So the other girl was right. Damn it.*

Kagayaki quirked an eyebrow at Kazuko as she swore under her breath. She had to admit she was curious about the relationship between Kazuko and Ryusa, they seemed to be on very good terms despite the Kaguya's agressiveness and overall anger. Not to mention she seemed to not only look up at the Chunin but have some.. Stronger feelings maybe? Kagayaki giggled a bit and stopped herself, not wanting to make assumptions just yet.

Seeing the other successfully carve out the rock, she gave her a big smile, "See?" And with that stood up, and took a few steps to the side, signalling a sequence of seals before calling out the name of the technique. "Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique." 

She focused her chakra on her feet like before and the ground once again turned to fine sand. She dug into the sand and the ground, disappearing for a moment... Only to surface back up with a deep breath. "Damn, digging through this is harder than I thought." The scene would be quite comical, as Kagayaki only had her head out of the ground at the time. She quickly made her way out though, brushing the dirt out of her pants.
Greg
*Her giggling made the Kaguya raise her own eyebrow and stare at her with that angry look on her face.* "What're you giggling at, huh?" *Seems like she didn't really like that, but she resisted the urge to go for a punch there. Kagayaki may or may not have made some right assumptions there. Despite her anger, she saw the Chunin as more than just a tutor. Actually, just calling him a 'friend' was also an insult to him. But would she ever admit such things to anybody?

Well, Earth Release for now. The big smile went without a comment from Kazuko, and she just let her do her thing. For now, she was happy enough with what she achieved there. Learning a jutsu would be too much effort. Man, she should grab some more food honestly...

Then, all of a sudden, the other girl vanished into the ground and just left Kazuko alone for a moment. Only to come out of the sand as if she almost drowned to death there. Could totally relate to that feeling honestly, oh yeah. Her hand rose up, palm open almost as if she was about to slap Kagayaki. But she then came out fully. Meeh...* "Would have been funny if you suffocated down there." *Aaand there. The occasional death wish for the other. The Kaguya still was sitting cross legged and arms folded, staring at the other who cleaned herself from all the dirt and sand.*
Renee
"Aye, aye I bet it would." Kagayaki dismissed Kazuko's death wish while waving her lazily in her direction. She was starting to get used to them, and whether or not Kazuko meant what she said or not didn't really seem to matter anymore to her. The blonde brought her hand to her chin in thought, nodding lightly to herself.

How to make this easier... She figured practice was the best way to get used to it, perhaps let some sort of breathing room... She ended up shrugging before quickly signaling the seals of the technique. "Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique!" She called out, once again diving into the ground as it turned to sand around her body.

She plopped out a rather ways away from Kazuko, once again just plopping out her head and looking around. "Hm, I need to get better at sensing stuff while underground..." She commented.
Greg
"Of course it would. I can help with that, if you wanna." *Her very serious tone made it sound like both, a joke and a real offer. Combined with that face that didn't show a single smile or any glimpse of other signs for this being a joke, she may be giving off confusing signals to Kagayaki. Kazuko didn't care though. Her threats were usually genuine, as she really would like to see said person suffer. Maybe die, too. But in this case, killing Kagayaki would be a really dumb move. Not mentioning that she was... Kinda okay to be around with.

Kazuko watched the other vanish again, which made her groan, and when she plopped out, the Kaguya threw a smaller pebble right at her head.* "Sense this, idiot." *A small bonk, nothing else. Coming to think of it... While Kagayaki wondered how her relationship was with Ryusa, Kazuko was thinking the same thing about Ryusa and her. Hm... She sighed loudly.

Taking another pebble, she threw that one at the other girl again.* "Come on, do something." *Laying down all of a sudden, she started to complain.* "I'm hungry... I need food!" *The last word she said in a louder, more pissed tone.* "I could eat anything." *And then, her head tilted to the side, staring right into Kagayaki's eyes.* "Anything." *Kazuko repeated... What was with this sudden menacing aura??*
Renee
"Ow." She blurted out when the first rock collided, shaking her head slightly, which was still the only part of her body above ground. "Don- Ow." She was interrupted as the second rock made impact, furrowing her brow towards the Kaguya. Before the black haired girl admitted she could eat her. Her eyes widened and darted from side to side, mostly joking.

She dove back into the ground, and a few moments later popped back up beside Kazuko, some dirt blasting towards her. Kagayaki seemed rather satisfied, ruffling her hair slightly, without undoing her braid, to let loose some of the dust in it. "Practice really does make perfect uh." She commented, rather proud of herself.

"Have you done any more?" She asked, taking one of the rocks from her emergence to signify she meant smoothing them out. She sat in front of the other girl again, cross legged like last time.
Greg
*Kagayaki's little yelps of pain made the Kaguya grin. Finally, something else than her grumpy look on her face! A grin. The mean kind, but a grin nonetheless. Then, the worried expression. Oh, Kazuko enjoyed that.* "What? I beat human flesh tasted decent at the very least." *The angry Kaguya seemed to be more relaxed now and less angry about... The world.

But as she had to be dirtied with dirt when Kagayaki popped out next to her, Kazuko growled in anger out of nowhere and grabbed the other girl by her collar.* "The hell are you doing there, huh?!" *The other hand formed into a fist, but she then froze. No, not her. She can't do this to someone like that. Letting go, Kazuko turned in her laying position, back facing Kagayaki now.* "Meh..." *This could be interpreted as her own way of apologizing.

When asked about if she did more, she just grabbed a nearby rock and held it up, trying to reshape it once again. It seemed to work, with the edges being even smoother than before now.* "There." *Rock yeeted away, her head and eyes moved slightly towards the other's side, as if she was checking what was going on over there.*
Renee
Kagayaki had somehow kept a serious face through the whole threat. Not that she wasn't a bit scared, but when she spent 
 time with Kazuko she was always prepared for some kind of out-burst. Not that she would sit back and let herself be beaten to a pulp if Kazuko tried, but she believed the other wouldn't go past threats unless Kagayaki really pushed her buttons.

 She tilted her head with a small smile at the others antics, they reminded her somewhat of a stubborn child who knew they'd done something wrong but refused to admit it. She took the rock in her hand and looked at it with a light chuckle. 

"So you wanna do anything else now?" She asked. Having gotten the hang of her technique, she was was basically done with her training, but she wouldn't mind spending more time with Kazuko, kind of.
Greg
*She didn't want to hurt someone who apparently wanted to spend time with her. Someone who was not forced to hang out with her, and smiled despite her actions. There were too few people like that, and Kagayaki was one of the few. So beating her up like that was just out of question, since that was just not right in her head. Unless she managed to piss her off, obviously. That would be her fault and Kazuko might not hold back there.

When she chuckled and talked again, the Kaguya shrugged and rubbed her arm. Then, she turned around and properly looked at the blonde girl. Still laying, which made her look like the cat she was. The grumpy type. Only now, she looked weirdly comfy on the ground.* "I don't know." *Then, after a small moment of silent thinking, she pushed herself up. Quickly so. Sitting now, her eyes were wider than before.* "Food. Akimichi Bistro. Wanna have an eating competition?" *The sinister smile she had there now was totally not noice. It was almost as if it sounded like trouble. The smile vanished though, because she had something to add to that idea.* "I won't pay for your food though." *Out of question!*
Renee
Kagayaki laughed at her enthusiasm, a bright smile coming across her face at the other's suggestion. Once she calmed down her face turned slightly solemn, her big smile dwindling. "As much as I'd actually love that, I think I'll have to pass, I don't have the funds for it." She admitted. She wasn't looking for pity or handouts, but it was the truth.

She stood up and rummaged through her ninja pouch, quickly pulling out a small brown wallet. It was simple cloth sewed with a small button to close the flap. She looked inside, frowning her eyebrows as she quickly counted before closing it. She shot Kazuko another smile. "I can order something small and eat with you though."
Greg
*Out of question... But... She wanted to beat her at the competition! Kazuko just watched the other decline and stand up, counting her money. Something small? Something small wouldn't cut it. The angry bone lady stood up and came uncomfortably close to Kagayaki's face. Her expression? Grumpy and angi.* "You'll pay me back one day." *With that, she just grabbed the other by her arm and dragged the poor Ressha along, onwards to the Akimichi Bistro.*

"I'll pay today, just so I can beat you." *Her grip was strong, though not really painful. Maybe a tad.* "You're already annoying as hell... As a Shinobi, you at least should be able to afford food." *Outrageous. Her voice was mixed with confusion and anger, but since food was the topic, she was much more "Happier" And didn't want to beat up the other girl.* "And don't you dare seeing this as a nice gesture." *Kazuko's eyes stared at hers, tone as serious as it could get. But the thing is: That's what it was! A nice gesture regardless of the fact that she wanted the money back later on.

Upon arrival at the Bistro, she opened the door and led the other in, only then letting go. She chose the table, and the Akimichi that greeted them seemed to know her, being all friendly and kind to her.* "Kazuko-chan! How are you? Brought a friend? How lovely! So, what can I get you two today?" *The big, round man asked, and Kazuko just grinned in her cheeky way a - revealing it fully to Kagayaki.* "We're gonna fight. But I think she'll fail, so make it the 'Beginner's race' for us." *After all, it was not size here, but difficulty!*
