Maki shook her head, then brought a hand up to her forehead and laughed, "That's no training at all. It's fine. We'll make do."<br/><br/>The woman produced some rope from one of her pouches, stringing it out and pulling it taut. "I'll show you some of the basic knots and the best ways to escape from them." The Jounin threw the rope into Yuki's hands and then offered her wrists, "There are a few types of bondage. Single Column ties are for one limb, a wrist or an ankle, a Double Column tie binds two wrists or two ankles or one limb to another. After that there are full body ties and harnesses, like the hog tie or the karada."<br/><br/>"We'll start with the columns. First, take the end of the rope in your right hand and..."<br/><br/>An hour later, Yuki had tied up his Jounin instructor a dozen different ways, seeing each binding's strengths and flaws and watching as Maki demonstrated the best method to wriggle free. After each binding, they switched the script and then Maki instead bound Yuki, instructing him to free himself in the same manner that she had moments before. Now, however... they were getting to the more intimate ones.<br/><br/>"The next one is the hog tie." She said, kneeling to the ground and then straightening her legs. She was wearing rather form-fitting leggings, once again reminding Yuki of his instructor's rather prominent rear end. Maki eased herself to the ground, "You'll want your prison like this, face-down. You start with the same wrist and ankle bindings as before, but with a chest harness included as well."<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Oh, the Mibu are so old fashioned!" Niwa groaned, "So's Tanigakure, too."<br/><br/>The red eyed girl sighed and wandered down some of the aisles, "Hmmm... Madara's Revenge looks good! Totally unrealistic, though." She narrowed her eyes at the booth where the attract mode showed the game's titular villain laughing maniacally behind all the Bijuu. He was dressed in modern clothes and all the tailed beasts had mechanical and neon adornments that were supposed to make them look cooler for modern audiences...<br/><br/>Then, in the row behind that booth there was a loud voice enthusiastically announcing, "Ninja Fighter... Five!"<br/><br/>"Five!?" Mibu Niwa asked, blinking. She hurried around the corner and to the opposite side, pouting when she saw that they were beaten to the punch by two Suna kunoichi. They were identical twins by the looks of it, with long blonde hair down to their shoulder blades. They set down two large gourds behind them and went to the cabinet. The girls had pale blue pupilless eyes, fair skin, and wore short skirts with tube tops over fishnet shirts, detached sleeves and leg warmers. One's attire was tan and brown, the other black and grey. Apart from that, they were completely alike.<br/><br/>They both slid some Ryo into the machine and started up versus mode. Niwa snapped her fingers, "Damn."<br/><br/>One of the Kunoichi brushed her hair aside and shot a glance over at Jin-Ryu and Niwa... if only for a moment.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Kodoku rubbed the back of his neck, "Well, uh, Azuki-chan." He turned even redder, "That'd be real nice... but-"<br/><br/>Then, rather suddenly, Teru appeared at his side, putting her arm over his shoulder. He recoiled out of instinct, worried that she might accidentally brush up against the bare skin of his neck or something else like that. Even so, she was careful and Kodoku's shoulders relaxed. "Ah, Teru-kun. If anyone can get you a date, it's Azuki."<br/><br/>"That's not what I-" He stammered, putting his glove back on.<br/><br/>"Hmmm?" Teru tilted her head, slipping out and away from him and tilting her head, "What is it?"<br/><br/>"I mean..." Kodoku swallowed the lump in his throat, "We've only got another day before the exam begins. I, uh, I don't have the kind of experience and practice you guys do..."<br/><br/>"You calling us easy?" Teru narrowed her eyes and hissed, like a cat playing with her food. Maybe that's why Shiromaru chased her around so much...<br/><br/>"N-no!" He said, shaking his head.
