    *In a hidden training dojo nestled deep within the mountains. While outwardly appearing like any other traditional ninja school, this dojo is specially equipped to accommodate the needs of its unique students – the GrandSugarClan who have embraced the art of Ninjutsu. Special modifications have been made: blackout curtains line all windows, intricate systems circulate cool air, and specialized weapons have been forged from shadowed steel to minimize sunlight reflection.

    A vibrant vampire with striking blood-red hair. He’s eager to further master the art of Ninjutsu, driven by a desire to prove herself and protect his beloved partner Rika and his family. While naturally gifted with vampire speed and strength, he sometimes struggles with the patience and discipline required of a true ninja.

    His sensei for this training, Rocky, a ninja training from his youth is a demanding but loving teacher, always pushing Shuhei to reach his full potential.

    Shuhei is in the middle of a rigorous training session. Rocky is observing him closely as she attempts to navigate a complex obstacle course designed to test his agility, speed, and precision. The course is filled with hidden pressure plates, swinging blades, and narrow platforms shrouded in a simulated mist (to further reduce any light). His sisters, Helena is nearby, offering gentle guidance and adjusting Shuhei’s form when needed. Rika is hiding somewhere in the dojo, occasionally disrupting Shuhei’s focus with playful distractions, he tries to focus on his goal but his heart fills with a sort of warmth watching Rika being playful with him during this training.

    Once Shuhei’s training is completed, Rocky sits with him to go over some points of weakness in his training. Shuhei often rushes into things, relying on is demonic and vampire abilities rather than disciplined technique. Rocky also notes Shuhei’s vampiric thirst and love for Rika is also a distraction during training, especially when he exerts herself. He must learn to control his hunger and maintain focus even if it’s a playful distraction. Shuhei’ blushes hearing this and chuckles a bit scratching the back of his head and nods in acknowledgement.

    There is a second round of pactice which helps him overcome his personal weaknesses and works to improve on these while navigating the obstacle course a few times more during the evening.*

    Rika stood firm beneath the canopy of the autumn-hued trees, her glowing katana pulsing softly in her grip. Her eyes, a striking blue, had shifted from their usual playful spark to one of resolute focus. Moments ago, she had been smirking, casting teasing glances toward Shuhei as he moved through his drills. But Rocky’s words hit with precision sharper than any blade.

    *”His vampiric thirst and love for you is a distraction.”*

    She hadn’t meant to interfere. Not truly. But she understood—soldiers don’t blur lines when steel and skill are on the line. Watching Shuhei train, sensing the fire in his aura, she felt the shift. He was growing stronger… and she refused to be left behind.

    Without another word, Rika turned on her heel, her katana shimmering as she sheathed it with purpose. “I’ll be at the east wing,” she called over her shoulder, not a trace of shame in her voice—only conviction. “I need to push further. So when the time comes… we fight side by side.”
