15.)
Ava smiles....
"Well.... I mean come on Master Korin.... How hard could it be to catch you....? Now, if you said we had to spar or something, that'd be different.... But this....?"
Korin laughs once again....
"If you think you can, then go for it babe.... It just makes it that much easier for you if that's what you believe..."

16.)
Ava shrugs, now walking towards Korin....
"Alright then, Master...."
At that, she quickly spring forward, and attempts to grab Korin....
"Got'cha! W-Wait! What?!"
Ava could had sworn she had him, but her arms go straight through him....
"An....After image....? He moved that fast...!"
Now stood directly behind her, Korin taps her on her back with his staff....
"Hey babe! Haha! I thought you said you could catch me!"

Ava jumped slightly, surprised at the taps to the back....
"Ah! H-How did you move that fast?!"
Korin laughed...
"You didn't think it was going to be that easy.....? Did you...? W-Whoa!"
At that, Ava quickly pivot and tries to grab Korin, at which he quickly takes an evasive hop step back, avoiding her.

Following him closely with her eyes as he jumped back, Ava begins to focus her ki through her body.... Her muscles begin tightening up, and a crimson aura begins to outline her body.....
"Heh.... He thinks he can just keep running.... Though I'll just use some of my ki to amp up my speed. If I do it in quick bursts, I should be able to catch him before I tire out...."

Once at a safe distance, Korin laughs....
"I don't think so babe! You can manipulate your ki all you want! I'll see you coming from a mile away!"
Ava's concentration is broken at Korin's words, losing her aura now, with her eyes wide....
"H-How did you know what I was going to-....!!! That's right! You can read minds! Aww man.....!!"

Korin laughs...
"Now you're catchin' on, babe! You don't have a chance!"
Ava smiles, slowly unzipping her jacket, and then tossing it to her left...
"We'll see, Master Korin... You're underestimating my speed and abilities..... I've been holding back... But now, the weights are off! Here I come, Master!"

Korin sighs at that....
"Oh man..... I hadn't taken that into acc-!! H-Hey!!"
Before he could finish, Ava comes dashing at him full speed, and dives to tackle him. He manages to jump up however, landing gently atop of her head as she crashed into the ground. He'd then hop of her head to the left, quickly creating some distance....
"Man! She is fast! She almost got me! I better focus!"

Ava groans as Korin taunts her by landing on her head after her missed diving attempt. Though she quickly rolls over, getting to her feet, and dashes after him once again....
"I won't give up! You can't run forever, Master!"
Korin quickly begins dashing himself now, with Ava right on his heels....
"H-Hey! Where did you get all of this speed from anyway?! Couldn't have been from Roshi?! Could it...?"

Ava laughs, enjoying herself very much as she chased the cute little cat around. She just couldn't seem to close the gap though just yet. She wouldn't give up however, keeping up her pursuit.

Ava dives at Korin and yet again misses.... He was a lot faster than he looked.... That was for sure... Quickly getting back to her feet however, she continues the chase.

Korin could feel that he was just BARELY managing to evade Ava's attempts. He hadn't expected her to be so fast..... She had clearly come a long way from when her and Shiro first made their way to the top of his tower....

Ava dives yet again, hoping to catch him this time.... But....
"Aww man! Missed again!"
Korin manages to evade yet agin, diving out of the way. His breathing had gotten heavy now, as the two of them start to get back to ther feets from diving.....
"Heh..... Not....bad....babe.... Though, you...ain't....got....me....yet...."

Ava laughs, getting to her feet now, holding her right index finger and thumb just inches apart from each other up for Korin to see...
"I was this close, Master! You barely evaded that one!" She brings her hand back down now, and continues, "What's the matter, Master...? Haha! Don't tell me you're tired?!"

Getting to his feet as well, Korin groans at that...
"N-No! I ain't tired! And you only got that close, because I let you! Try it again! You can try all day! You still won't catch me!"

Ava laughs at that, lower her stance now, and spacing her legs out a bit....
"Oh really.....? We'll see...."
At that, she dashes forward, coming straight for Korin, and goes for another dive. Korin quickly side steps, but realizes something as he does.....
"W-What?! No! An after image!"

That's right. As he side stepped her 'dive', Ava had actually anticipated his movements, and moved fast enough to read them perfectly.... Korin would dive right into Ava's arms, as she gives him a big hug as he does...
"Got ya, Master Korin!"
Korin blushes slightly at this, letting out a sigh as she held him in her arms....
"Aww.... I should have seen that coming... Haha... You weren't thinking things through though anymore.... You were acting on impulse so I couldn't read your mind.... Good job, Ava.... Yeah, you got me. Haha..."

Ava laughs, letting Korin go now and nodding to him....
"Yup! I just kept going with it. No planning or thought process. Just go for it!"
Korin laughs at that, now stood infront of Ava, looking up to her....
"Well.... It was different... But it worked.... Haha!"
And with that, Korin goes over to a cupboard, taking out an urn. He then goes back to Ava, and hands her the urn...
"Here ya go babe! Drink up! You've earned it!"
Ava nods, taking the urn in hand and begins to drink....

Ava was pretty thirsty from all the chasing, so she ended up drinking it all before Korin could say anything.... Handing him back the empty urn, Ava let's out a belch....
"Oops...! Sorry, Master Korin.."
Korin laughs at that, taking the urn and putting in back in the cupboard. Going back to Ava know, he speaks...
"So....? How do you feel....?"

Post by Ava Truesdale on May 22, 2009 2:23:41 GMT -5
Ava looks to Korin at that, rolling her shoulders and neck around a bit....
"Wow! I do feel a lot stronger now! Thank you, Master Korin!"
Korin laughs at that...
"You're welcome babe! Haha! You must have been pretty thirsty after all the running around eh?! The least I could do was give you some water! Haha!"

Post by Ava Truesdale on May 22, 2009 2:30:17 GMT -5
Ava looked confused by this.....
"W-What do you mean, Master Korin? I don't understand.... Didn't the water make me stronger....?"
Korin shakes his head....
"Nope. That's just what I tell people to give them a little incentive... You got stronger from chasing me. That water you just drank.... Just water from the tap. Haha!"
Ava looks to Korin in total shock.

After letting it sink in, Ava goes over to her jacket, and puts it back on. Looking to Korin now, she speaks....
"Thank you again, Master Korin.. You've really helped me out alot..."
Korin nods....
"You're welcome babe. So....you feeling any better now about what's all going on?"

Ava looks away from Korin at that, to the stary night sky....
"I-I.... I don't know, Master Korin... I just don't know...."
Korin sighs...
"Well, sleep on it babe. It's late now, and you've had a long day... Things will look better in the morning...."
Ava looks back to Korin and smiles...
"Yeah.... Hopefully... It has been a long day.... Good night, Master Korin..."
And with that, Ava calls for her Nimbus, hopping back on and goes to sleep on it like before. Korin just looks on and smiles...
"Good night kid....."
Korin then calls it a night himself, going inside his home to sleep.

Korin had refilled the bottle, placing it upon the small table in the center of the room. He glanced at it, noticing a small smudge on the base of the jar, grimacing and reaching up to grab it, deciding to polish the damn thing one last time.
Of course, so concerned with the bottle, he wouldn't notice the cloud carrying a familiar source of energy flying towards the tower at top speed.

Or at least, one would think. Korin wasn't where he was just because he was a talking cat, despite the fact that people probably thought that. No, he could sense that source of energy coming from a mile away...figuratively.
Couric, on the other hand, was too busy holding onto his chest with one hand and the cloud's fluffy tail with another, in a great deal of pain thanks to the cloud.

"Nimbus! Slow down!" The cloud's owner shouted as loud as he could, only to be ignored by the fluff ball. The Saiyan grimaced, reaching up another hand to pull himself up and onto the cloud's back only to notice that they were approaching something in the distance at quite a pace. /Oh god.../

"Seriously! You're gonna crash into something sooner or later if you ke-" He was cut off, having smashed into the railing on Korin's tower, knocking the air right out of him. Oh and, of course....
CRACK!
But he just held onto the railing, holding back the urge to scream out a few obscenities.

He looked up, realizing that he probably wouldn't be able to pull himself up or be pulled up without another rib cracking. He grimaced, hoping that Korin might be able to toss him a senzu once he actually got up there.
/I could just float up.../ He reminded himself.

/But what if the pain becomes too much for me to concentrate.../ He could only imagine himself falling towards the Earth, becoming a smear on the grass or a bloody mess.
"Stop being stupid, kid, and just float." A familiar voice spoke, looking down towards the teen from behind the railing.

Couric looked up to see Korin, cane once again in hand, a bit of a smile on his face. The teen just grimaced and let go, falling a few inches before the ability to float caught him, slowly pushing him upwards towards the tower.
"So, back again, eh shrimp?"

Once he landed in a sit position on the tower's floor, he spoke.
"Yeah...I could sorta use...something to he-" He was cut off by a bean hitting him right between the eyes. The cat just smirked and turned away.
"Hurry up and eat the bean so we can get onto more important matters." Korin added, taking a quick look towards the bottle.
