"WAHHHHH!" she screeched as she ran around the campsite.
At the moment though, she'd have much rather not been trying to get 'stronger'. Training in the martial arts had sounded simple enough, even if she really didn't have much choice in the matter. Yet, it was turning out to be fraught with peril, and she had to wonder if it was always going to be this bad. Sure, this might even help her be a better Senshi, but it sure as hell wasn't fun. In fact, she rather thought that she was going to get eaten before lunch.
Genma watched the girl run about in a panic and wondered just why things were going so badly for her. His son had gone through much worse and hadn't succumbed, so he couldn't see why she was acting like this. If anything, she should have had it easy, as he hadn't expected much from her. That wasn't from the fact that she was a girl, but rather that she was new to the Art. Still, his boy would need his slaves to have at least some training, so that they could not only be useful, but healthy. At least, she should have gotten a chance to be a bit tougher than before.
And now she was being chased around by a horde of animals that were trying to bite her. However, it wasn't like he had meant for that to happen. To tell the truth, this wasn't even in the game plan, so to speak. Perhaps if he had, he would have found something tough and fitting for the training.
Instead, the blonde was being chased by a flock of squawking and honking geese. Just where she had found them, the Saotome Patriarch didn't know, but she had apparently found that training on her own. He had simply intended for her to get some stamina building by carrying bags with rocks as she ran around a fairly simple unofficial 'course'. Yet somehow, she'd wound up with a bunch of birds that looked to include a swan or two. Near as he could tell, that had come from a bit of bread that she'd tried to carry as she started on her exercising. Fortunately, it rather seemed that the training was helping her speed, stamina, and dodging skills, albeit unintentionally.
As Genma watched her race back the other way with what looked like a cloud of feathers and biting beaks, he rather hoped that a stretching exercise wouldn't be quite as... problematic.
Well, he supposed that it could be worse.
"See here, noble beast," Tatewaki Kuno declared, pointing his improvised bokken at the animal in front of him. "Surely one such as yourself knows of the pride and honor of my spirit."
The lion, cranky from being awakened from his nap, leapt up, bit down on the stick, and snapped it in two.
"Say, that was not well done of you at all...."
This wide eyed staring at his ruined stump of a weapon meant that he missed the pride's lionesses all started getting up and began stalking towards him.
"This will simply not do. You must see that. Are you all coming to greet me?" Kuno asked, confusion lightly marring his features.
They simply began growling deep in their chests, and began to bare their teeth at the nuisance who was rapidly showing why he had to be driven from their midst, at the very least.
"Something does not bode well," he murmured thoughtfully, while:
