Flowers For You

Crimson laid on her back as she covered her eyes from the sun.
"Slow day." She said.
Getting up, she dusted her clothes off from the ground and started to think. "Those I've met here helped me settle in pretty well. How can I thank them...?" Crimson started to walk off not paying attention to her footsteps. "What's a good way to show someone thank you, or tell them you're a good friend? How do you tell them you're there for them, or that you care- WHOA!"
Crimson tripped over a root and fell face forwards to the ground."Dang it."
Cursing her clumsiness, Crimson looked ahead, only to see a small flower bed of wildflowers. "Flowers?"
An idea hit her.
Getting to work, Crimson gathered a few flowers together and made three bouquets tied with a thick piece of grass. "If I make enough of these, people can get them and give them to those they cherish most."
Crimson looked around the field seeing no one then asked outloud more to herself than another, "Does anyone want a bouquet to give to someone special?"

Crimson took up one of the newly made bouquets, "Sasuke!" She held out the flowers, "Thank you for being my friend.

Crimson sighed*Poor flowers.*
She put them in her pouch along with two other bouquets as she caught up with Sasuke, "Hey! I'm not as tall as you so I can't walk as fast."

Crimson picked up another flower and started to pull the petals off, "Because we're friends."
Noticing Sasuke's gesture to the mark she tilted her head inconspicuously to make sure it was alright.*It's not acting up is it?*

"Right!...Itachi..." Crimson looked ahead to see what Sasuke was looking at in the distance. "Are you in it for the reward as well?" Crimson dropped the last petal to the floor with a satisfied look.
Noticing were Sasuke's hand fell, she lowered her hands to her knives.

Sakura petals fluttered everywhere making spiral patterns in the air.
"Pretty."
The red and white petals caught a hold of her hair as Crimson held out her and to catch them.
Grabbing her blade, Crimson pointed to the tree. "Tell me what to do."
With ruffle of her hair a small amount of the petals dropped to the floor.

Nodding in understanding, Crimson did as she was told.
"Two...and one inch..."
Perfect. Happy with her exact duplication from Sasuke's model, she handed the pieces to the Uchiha.
"How's that?" She said with pride.

"Right." Bringing the memory on how the first was formed, she used it to make a duo of other replicas from Sasuke's first one.
"Check" She said as she smiled.
She looked at Sasuke looking for his approval*To think that this all started with a flower. I guess they do really bring people closer.* Crimson eyed the petals in her hair and started to brush them off.

Crimson took a deep breath and closed her eyes with concentration. Focusing on the paper, one of the papers turned into ash and the became very damp. "Fire and water?"

"Uh-oh..." Crimson stated. "Well, I'll learn what I can about fire for now...what are we going to do about the water?"
~Inner Crimson~*Sweet. If I master fire techniques I never have to make a fire pit again! And I won't need a place with a stove!* *Very happy *
The thought of food and ramen along with dessert made Crimson sigh.

Crimson's mouth dropped. He wasn't SERIOUS was he?
The smell of burnt wood came to her senses. The scorched wooden flesh was deteriorating from the heat of the impact.
How did he DO that?! It was impossible! It defied all logic! Just by making seals?
Giving a 'Are-you-freaking-kidding-me' look to Sasuke then to the trees.
*Great.* Crimson stood there for awhile, then looked to her hands.
*What seals did he do...?* Crimson sighed and tried her best to imitate the seals, but her efforts were poor.

Rebuking herself for her stupidness and brought the sight to her mind of Sasuke's seals he had shown her.
Snake - Tiger - Monkey - Boar - Horse - Tiger
The first try, Crimson had forgotten to concentrate the Chakura.
The second try, She messed up on the seals.
Third try she forgot the seals completely. She gave a defeated look for just a second, then continued to try.
*Concentrate* She thought to herself. Snake, focus, tiger, monkey, boar, concentrate on the Chakura, horse, Breathe, Tiger
Crimson opened her mouth and blew.
A fireball emitted from her mouth to the area infront of her. It wasn't a grand fireball, actually, it was rather small, but Crimson was determined to master this technique.
She looked for a few words of encouragement to keep her going.

Snake, Tiger, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger
Concentrate, Blow!
A bigger flame came out, but not by alot. Crimson was a bit disappointed but she didn't let it get to her.
The next attempt was a bit better, but Crimson still saw her progress as that of a snails.
Non stop, she attempted to make the seals and repeatedly blew fire until she dropped to the ground. This was harder than it looked. Sure she was strong, but her endurance was limited. This new technique of fighting was taking its toll on her body.
Crimson looked to the ground where some flowers had been crushed by her feet. Even like this they looked beautiful.
Standing up with determination.
One more time.
Snake, Tiger, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger
Concentrate.
This was it. A huge fireball appeared as Crimson blew.
When her chakura had depleted she sunk to the ground exhausted and started to catch her breath. "Did...*inhales* it.*exhales.*
When Sasuke wasn't looking Crimson scribbled a label on a piece of paper then attached it on a flower. When Sasuke's head was turned, she patted him on the back, hoping he wouldn't notice. "That was awesome!"

The note said:
Best trainer ever!
