Chapter 64: II Chapters 20 – Someone forgot something

Mikoto-san needed a moment and asked with a fair bit of hesitation.

"Has... no...Shisui was responsible for making sure you adapted well ... and knew whatever was...appropriate, no?" She asked and Gene nodded not really understanding where this was heading. 

"Yeah, he was the one who brought me here. He also taught me things like, how to eat with chopsticks." She answered getting flustered at the behavior of the people around her while Itachi was visibly holding in laughter with upwards twitching corners of his mouth. 

"He forgot something." Itachi commented and Gene felt like she wasn't getting the joke and missed something that everyone got. 

"What?!" She got louder slightly annoyed when nothing dawned to her. 

"Common sense little one. Common sense. Your actions are a bit scary for the unaccustomed." Mikoto-san explained, and Gene still didn't get it. Tsukiko always  said it was passable and Shisuis considered it good, nothing more than that. 

"Shisui always only said I was good, nothing more." She said with even more hesitation. Good did mean it was still not that mind-blowing like they were acting. 

"Shisui said good." Itachi mumbled and suddenly pouted. "I need a superb day to get more than a passable out of him." He muttered and Gene felt duped. 

"He says that often." She muttered a bit lost and Mikoto-san San walked to a chopped of tree trunk, sitting down, taking a breath. 

"Gene, Shisui is not known for his abundance of praise when it comes to the Shinobi arts." She explained. "Getting, a good, from him would make a few other Shinobi among the Clan do happy dances in their rooms later on." 

"Tsukiko says I'm passable and Kakashi normally stays without comment. I find it harder to get out a compliment out of him." She noted and tilted her head.  

"You are uncommonly Dense right now." Itachi told her and patted her head. Goddamn, she found it frustrating that he was younger but a head taller than her. "Kakashi simply resigned to the fact that you lack common sense, Tsukiko never had any to speak of and for Shiaui you are his little Princess, preventing him from bursting your happy bubble just how uncommon it is what you can do happy with your rapid progress." 

"And why didn't you tell me then?" 

"Because I love my life." He said smiling and Gene suddenly saw the light. 

"Oh." She noticed and shrugged her shoulders. "Sorry, I'll hold back." She said and felt awkward as usual when many people were paying attention to her. "What is next?" 

"Genjutsu." Mikoto-san said and looked at her. "Since you said you cannot use Genjutsu I thought that you should practice with Itachi how to break it. 

"Ehm, Mother." Itachi said and swallowed, looking at Gene, who helplessly shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. Not here, tell her without the others knowing. Itachi nodded and walked forward whispering into his mother's ears. 

Mikoto-san closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I don't know why I am even still wondering. Is that true?" Gene nodded.

Yeah, optical Genjutsu doesn't really work on me, in general, my eyes can't perceive a Genjutsu, it simply doesn't work, and if it does then only for a split second or shorter. 

"Okay. Ken and Taijutsu, let us proceed with that, please don't shock me anymore you two." She said, and Gene nodded, I son't think you have to worry about that walking with Itachi towards the hand-to-hand combat zone. The two of them jumped into the Taijutsu ring and Gene already felt the bruises she was about to get. Itachi was not merciful during practice.

"Alright then." Mikoto-san said and nodded. "Anything goes but don't hurt each other seriously and no Chakra. It is only about Hand-to-Hand combat right now. 

To stand any chance I need to fight dirty. 

Itachi stormed forward and Gene ran picking up two hand-fulls of dust from the ground and threw one Itachi who avoided. She used the second one and this time it hit. She bowed down and swept her leg to unbalance him. Itachi avoided it with his eyes closed and opened them with a vicious glint. Gene smiled and ran again. If he caught her she was death meat. 

Avoiding him where she could, she tried to grab him, but he cleverly sidestepped each time she did. It ended in a game of avoiding, trying to grab each other and disbalancing the opponent. Itachi was clearly in advantage as he got closer and closer to Gene whose endurance was waning after a while. 

He got her while she was trying to twist herself sidewards out of his attack. He was stronger a bit faster too and draw her towards him. She hissed and almost gave in to the instinct of covering her arm in Chakra for him to grab and draw it away. Suddenly she was airborne and hit the floor. 

Itachi was breathing harshly above her and pressing her on the floor with his knee in her back. 

"My win." Itachi declared and Gene surrendered. 

"Yeah, now get off my back." She said, and he helped her up. She jumped a few times to shake of the dust on her clothes. 

On her lavender and light blue clothes, the dirt and dust always stood out. With a smile she bowed to Itachi who did the same. Respect for your opponent, as it was done.

Mikoto-san clapped her hands and the two of them stepped outside the ring. 

The silence at the training grounds prevailed persistendly while Mikoto-san headed towards the private forests with Itachi and Gene following obediently. Apperantly she had a plan.

I hope I'm going to get some sleep today. 

"Now my dears I want to see your Chakra control, after that it will be over for today. Tomorrow morning at the same time we will meet at the small lake." Mikoto san clapped her hands. 

My sleep....
