Comments

[She seemed so neat a poised when she sat down, that Yuuri was impressed!]

It doesn't have to be a thing at all. It can be a person or even a place. But yeah, you can definitely think of a person! You've got someone in mind?

[hyuuga]

[It comes from a lifetime spent meditating before morning training.

She blushes and looks away, focused on a point to their right. Because it's easier than looking at him while she admits to it.]

Ah, there... Yes, um. Someone.

[a_royal_flush]

[His eyes widened at her reaction before widening further at her words. Aaaa had he just made her say something embarrassing and private? He felt guilty over that!

Right Shibuya! No more questions about that! He didn't want to have both of them walking away from each other and blushing like mad.]

G-great! [Pull yourself together Yuuri!] Then you can definitely focus on them.

If you're ready, then we can get started.

[hyuuga]

[Not all that private. Just slightly embarrassing. It's not like everyone from Konoha doesn't already know, including the person in question.

But she's glad he doesn't press further, and for the topic change. She nods.]

I'm ready.. Um, just let me know what to do.

[a_royal_flush]

Okay! Then keep your eyes closed, and think about that special person of yours. I want you to focus not on their image, but how you feel towards them.

[hyuuga]

OK. [She nods, taking a deep breath. It's easy for her to think about Naruto and focus on him, as it's something she's done for the better part of her life. Especially where her feelings are concerned.]

So sorry for the lateness T3T apps and my semester are done with now though!

[a_royal_flush]

[He waits quietly for her to get that special person in mind. When he feels as though she's had enough time, he speaks again, but this time his voice is much softer.]

Let your mind wander over those feelings to really experience them. Then I want you to casually follow them as they begin to seep through your body.

no worries at all <3

[hyuuga]

[She nods slowly, sluggishly. As if she's trying to respond while busy focusing on something else. But she does as he says, as it is easy enough for her. Her feelings for and toward Naruto are ones she knows and has felt long enough to be comfortable with. This time, however, she does allow them to seep through her body, a smile appearing on her face as she does.]

<3!!

[a_royal_flush]

[There's no doubt that she was able to do as he asked her to. That was great, and he waited until he was certain before breaking his silence again.]

Keep your mind focused on that feeling. Don't worry about anything else.

[His voice is quiet so as not to disturb her thinking. If her concentration continues, she'll soon feel a warmth spreading from the middle of her chest.]

[hyuuga]

[After a few seconds longer, she does feel such a warmth spreading out from her chest. It doesn't startle her as much as she thought it would, and she loses it for a second or two before finding it again. It's easier to do so now that she has an idea as to what she's looking for.]

[a_royal_flush]

[Yuuri waited patiently while she focused on her task. When he felt that she'd had enough time, he began to quietly speak again.]

That's good. Let those feelings go through your body, and when you feel a warmth in your chest, calmly reach out with your mind to grasp it.

[If she's lucky, she might feel the beginning stages before she transforms.]

[hyuuga]

[She focused on doing just that. Possibly a little too hard for the first two times, she lost it almost as soon as she reached out to grasp it. She takes a deep breath before her third attempt.

However, when she starts to feel the beginnings of her transformations, she finally starts to freak out a little. By then, it's too late and an innocuous handwrap is laying where she was.]

[a_royal_flush]

[Remaining quiet, he almost decided to speak up and talk her through it again when it appeared as though she was having trouble. Yet soon enough Yuuri found her suddenly transforming before he found a handwrap on the ground.]

Eeeeh? You did it! That's great!

[hyuuga]

[This was great? This was terrifying! It was such a different feeling, and--ohgoodness--what if she couldn't turn back?]

Ahaha, yes.. It's different. But good.

[a_royal_flush]

[His expression softened into a happy smile at her answer. He was glad that she seemed to be okay!]

Mmm it takes a little while to get used to, but it becomes second nature after a while.
