Her brush glided through her hair as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Today was the day the twins had decided to train together. Well, the together part was kind of redundant. They did everything together. Kanon finished brushing her hair as she heard her sister begin to stir. She had let her sister sleep in because it took her less time to get ready, due to her shorter hair. Kanon looked at her reflection once more wrinkled her nose a bit displeased with what she saw, and then let out a sigh. She still wasn't to sure on the whole ninja thing. Sure they have passed the academy and everything, but it's been so many years since they've even used chakra, due to spending the past few years taking care of their mother. She wasn't sure she still remember how to do any of this stuff. But, she was determined to see it through. She had set her mind on something, and so she and her sister were going to see it through to the end. So even if they were a little bit rusty, that's what today's training was mainly for. Kanon put her Headband around her neck, and walked out of the bathroom at the same time her sister walked out of the bedroom "Good morning sleepy!" she said almost too cheerfully. then she walked down the hallway into the main living area and kitchen as she said "Bathroom is all yours!" Then she rounded the corner into the kitchen, put on her apron and began making breakfast.

Stretching out and releasing a loud yawn to help herself wake up a little bit, Aenon groaned slightly as she was still in the midst of waking up. Not precisely a morning person, she always took a few minutes to get into a fully awake state, and would much prefer just going back to sleep. However, today was a special day for the twins. They'd finally agreed that it was time to start taking their training as Kunoichi seriously, and to get themselves into shape. To be honest, she was looking forward to the training quite a bit. Their mother had been the one to teach them a lot of the shinobi way, and it was one of the few things they had that they could remember her by that wouldn't go away. Besides that, Aenon had always gotten a thrill when she used chakra, as it made her feel almost magical. Slipping out of the bed, she groggily took a few slouching steps out of the room, rubbing her eyes sleepily as she did so.

It was convenient timing, as her sister came out of the bathroom, already seemingly pepped up and raring to go. "Good morning sleepy." Kanon said, sounding way too cheerful for it being this early. Aenon replied with a small grunt of acknowledgement, already heading towards the bathroom as Kanon went into the kitchen to start making breakfast. "Bathroom is all yours!" she heard Kanon say as she rounded the corner. Aenon didn't even grace that one with a grunt, instead simply walking into the bathroom.

The first thing she did was turn on the tap, watching the water gush out for a few seconds, as she waited for it to get to her ideal temperature. Once it was suitably warm, Aenon cupped her hands and let it fill them, before lowering her face to the sink and splashing some water across her face, washing the sleep out from her eyes. Revitalized by the water, and now more awake, she turned off the water and picked up her sister's brush, picking out a few strands of hair from it and throwing them away. Not even bothering to brush her hair, as she could just run her fingers through it and it would be perfectly fine, Aenon left the bathroom and went back into the bedroom, to change into her training attire before breakfast.

Switching out of her pajamas, Aenon put on a plain tank top, and through on her mesh undershirt over it. She didn't particularly care how she looked, as she was only going to be training, and it didn't matter much to her what others thought of her less than fashionable style. It was plain, and bland, but it was enough. Putting on her headband, attaching it around her neck, she pulled on a pair of pants and some sandals, and walked out into the kitchen to see what Kanon had made for breakfast. She loved the fact that her sister took care of the both of them. To be honest, it should probably be her job, as she was the older sibling, but even before their mom had died, Kanon had always been the one that took charge between the two of them.

by the time she heard the water turn on in the bathroom, Kanon had already grabbed a few of the supplies she needed to make herself, and her sister breakfast. She made eggs and sausages a lot, but mainly because they were tasty and easy, and her sister didn't seem to mind the quick breakfast. Kanon especially wanted to make it quick today because of the fact that she wanted to be out to the training grounds before the sun rose, and the sooner they were out there, the longer they could train before night settled over the village, and they would need to return home. So, once again, Kanon was making eggs and sausage. She got out two pans to do them both simultaneously, putting both temperatures less then medium so she could keep up with the pace of the cooking. Then she dumped all of the sausages into one pan, then applied non-stick butter spray to the other pan, cracked and egg an began to cook it. As it was cooking she lightly seasoned it with pepper, salt, and marjoram. she then reached over and put the oven on "Warm" so she could put the sausages in once they were done. Then she rolled the sausages around so they weren't cooking on the same side. After that was done, she flipped the egg. then went over to the cabinet, pull out 2 large plates and 1 small plate, as well as grabbing 1 fork for each of the girls. she set the plates down, rolled the sausages and then scooped up the egg, and put it on a large plate. Then she cracked another eggs, rolled the sausages again,  and seasoned the egg. Then after waiting a moment, she flipped the egg. Then she put the sausages on the small plate and stuffed them into the oven. She then Cracked a second eggs and put it on the fryer where the sausages had just been, seasoned it, and then she put the other egg on the plate for her sister, opened the oven and grabbed 3 of the 6 sausages and put them on the plate as well, then she put a fork on the plate, and set the plate on the bar counter for her sister to grab when she walked out. Then she flipped her egg, and then cracked the other egg into the other pan, after adding a bit more non-stick spray to it. she seasoned this one. then put her first egg on her plate, then flipped the other one, and at this point her sister walked out of the room. "Your plate is on the bar" she said as she put her final egg on her plate, shut off the burners and he oven, then pulled the small plate out of the oven, and put her sausages on her plate, putting the small plate into the sink. she then grabbed her fork and plate and walked over to the dining room table where her sister would surely already be eating her breakfast.

Aenon had no sooner walked out the bedroom door, when Kanon had finished making both of their breakfasts, already having finished Aenon's, which sat, waiting for her on the bar table. "Your plate is on the bar" she said, prepping her own plate. Aenon eyed her twin and giggled to herself as she said "Your plate is on the bar." in a slightly mocking tone, sticking her tongue out at her younger twin.

Walking over to her plate, Aenon tasted a small bite of the eggs before frowning slightly, and picked up the plate, walking over to the salt shaker. Picking up the salt, Aenon shook it a few times, adding a generous amount of salt to her eggs, which hadn't been quite perfect in her eyes. Usually they were good, but today, Aenon was craving a little more salt in her diet. After deciding she'd poured enough on the eggs, she took her plate back to the dining table, and sat down, to enjoy her breakfast. It was around this time that Kanon also sat down, and they began their ritualistic breakfast routine. Aenon ate her sausages first, saving the best for last, as the eggs were always her favorite part.

When she took the first bite of the eggs, her eyes and mouth tightened at the taste of the salt, as she'd poured a bit too much onto them, and she stuck out her tongue again. Using her fork to grind up the eggs into smaller portions, she helped spread the salt around evenly throughout the eggs. The next bite was perfection incarnate, just the right amount for her. Letting out a small moan of pleasure, Aenon grinned at her sister, who was apparently barely keeping in a laugh.

As Kanon entered the dining room she noticed that Aenon was heavily salting her eggs. And, honestly, Kanon was a little disappointed. Not in her sister, but more so in herself. Her sister had tasted the eggs and thought that they needed more salt for whatever. Which means that Kanon felt as though she had failed as a cook, because a cook's food shouldn't need to have things added to it to make it good. But, there was nothing she could do about it now. She would simply need teat her eggs so that way the two of them could get on with the training they had planned for today. With this, Kanon, and Aenon sat down together and began eating at the same time. While Aenon started with the sausages, Kanon started with the eggs, and the yolks at that. She didn't much like the yolk, and prefer to leave the taste of the white's in her mouth once she finish an egg, plus the yolk made a mess that she wasn't to found on, which is why she always made her eggs over-medium so that they weren't completely solid yolks, but not so messy as over easy. Plus Over-medium just felt more cooked in general. So she started with eggs, and by the time she finished Aenon was already done with her sausage and she was taking the first bite of her newly salted eggs. When she bit into the egg, Kanon had to hold in a laugh for the face she was made absolutely ridiculous. Apparently someone had over salted their eggs. Not only that, Kanon was laughing for Aenon salting her eggs and messing it up.

The girls after that moment quickly finished their breakfast, and then Kanon took both of their plates into the sink before going to the door and waiting for her sister to join her. Once her sister would do whatever she needed to do, and join her at the door, she would ask one final time "Are you sure that you've got everything you need?" She knew that Aenon's memory wasn't the best, and sometimes making her think  it over helped her remember something. Once her sister confirmed that she was ready, Kanon would take the girl's hand in her as she always did and head out of the door, making sure to lock it on her way out. Then she would lead Aenon out of the compound, and towards the fissure training grounds, where the girl's planned to spend the rest of the day training.

Aenon let out a soft "Pft." at her sister, sticking out her tongue while doing so, as she asked if she'd remembered everything. "Of course I did! I don't forget things." she said, walking back into her room, remembering that she needed her kunai and senbon for her training, and had almost completely forgotten them. Her face gained a notable shade of red as she tried not to show her embarassment at that. She was, of course, lying, and both the twins knew it. To be honest, Aenon's memory wasn't all that good when it came to smaller things, which was strange due to her intuitive thinking and processing. Maybe it was just because she was a 'here and now' type of person, who preferred to live in the present than ponder on the future. That was Kanon's job of course. She was the one who planned out their future, and in fact, a lot of their chosen missions were Kanon's idea. She was the one who would be doing most of the taking care of things, and so Aenon had not reason to go against it, choosing to follow her sister's goals.

Taking Kanon's hand, she let her sister lead her out of the house, making sure she locked the door completely, and then Aenon made sure that it was completely locked as well, just because. After that, of course, it was time to set out to the training grounds. The were called the Fisher Training Grounds or something like that, something Aenon wasn't sure about why they were called that, as she didn't think they had any fish or fishing there, but she wasn't the one in charge of naming things after all, so what did she know?

"I can't believe we're finally going to be actual Kunoichi, doing actual missions and getting stronger and training and all that after all this time. It feels kind of surreal. It reminds me of when we initially graduated the academy, and became fully fledged Genin all those years ago. Now we get to do it all over again, and this time it's for real!" she said, a little excited. She giggled, her usual peppy self now that she'd woken up and spent some time with her other half. And wasn't in front of other people, of course.

"I can't believe we're finally going to be actual Kunoichi, doing actual missions and getting stronger and training and all that after all this time. It feels kind of surreal. It reminds me of when we initially graduated the academy, and became fully fledged Genin all those years ago. Now we get to do it all over again, and this time it's for real!" Her sister said a little excited as they started down the path to the fissure training grounds. Kanon couldn't help but giggle and nod. there were actually going to start accomplishing what they set out to do in the first place. Kanon would be lying if she said that she herself wasn't excited for the moments to come. "Haha, yeah we are going to be kunoichi. Finally." A smile spread a crossed Kanon's face as she glanced at her sister competitively. Then she began darting forwards as the words came out of her mouth. "Race you there!" and then she took off towards the fissure grounds, running as fast as he could towards the grounds and never giving up her pace. She knew her and her sister had the same body, so she wouldn't be able to catch her and pass her if she maintained full speed. At least, that is what she thought.

Her sister agreed with her, happy that they were both going to be kunoichi finally, after all this time. Aenon beemed at her twin, who looked at her, with some interesting blaze in her eyes. Then she darted forward, yelling out "Race you there!" Aenon didn't wait very long, yelling out after her, chasing at her own full speed.

"Hey that's not fair!" she called, pumping her legs as fast as they'd go. She and her sister both had extremely similar bodies, but in an interesting turn of events, Aenon was slightly more fast than Kanon was, although they were still virtually the same. Every couple of seconds, Aenon was gaining on her sister by a few feet at a time. The main issue was that although she was faster than her sister, the strong will that her sister posessed would keep her going longer than Aenon could push herself. Aenon would be able to catch up, and even over take her sister, but her sister would keep going longer, pushing through the pain and reaching deep within herself. They balanced out rather evenly, their differences minute, but complimentary.

As soon as she was within close enough range, Aenon grinned, reaching out her hand and latching on to the back of her sister's shirt, to slow down the other girl, and try and surpass her.

"Hey that's not fair!" Kanon heard Aenon yell behind her as she grinned. Kanon kept on going without saying a word. The girls then sprinted as hard as they could for the next few minutes until finally the fissure training grounds were in site. It was then she felt Aenon grab the back of her shirt. Kanon skidded to as she said the words "Spar time!" she would say as she continued sliding jutting her elbow backwards attempting to hit her sister in the stomach. Although she wasn't so much trying to thrust his elbow back into her sister's gut, as much as trying to let her run into her sister's elbow. And thanks to her sister grabbing unto her shirt Kanon knew just about how far away her sister was to her, and about how much time it would take for her sister to hit her elbow, give or take about a half a second. And so with that window in mind, if her sister didn't hit her elbow in time she would spring forward, karate chopping her sister's hand to get it off of her shirt. If she did hit her elbow she assumed the sudden stop and pain on her end, would force her to let go, at which point she would drop down to all fours, and twist her body spinning clockwise and using her right leg to knock her sister's feet out from under her. At which point she would keep spinning until she had done a full 180 degree spin, then she would push off of her legs and jump backwards about 5 meters, slide a bit, and then reach into her kunai pouch and pull out a kunai and 3 senbon, she would then throw the kunai into the air in front of her as she charged forwards, grabbing the kunai with her left hand, and then throwing the 3 senbon with her right hand at her sister whereever she was, presumably getting up.

If the two girls planned on being shinobi then they were going to encounter much harder fights then each other, and would need to be able to take a beating, while also being able to give one out. So, the best thing they could do was fight each other until they got better and better at it. plus, sparring each other would also give them the necessary reflexes and responses they would need for future fights. As far as Kanon could see. Sparing was the most beneficial thing that they could do for the moment. Of course, they would probably be doing regular speed and strength training just so they could get their bodies built up. But, that would come later. After they were more worn out, so it would take more of an effect. This was Kanon's plan for the day.

Aenon had interestingly enough, managed to catch up to her younger sister, a little bit of exhaustion seeping into her from exerting herself so. Grinning, Aenon's grip tightened on the shirt, securing her to her sister. She was already breathing heavily, finding it difficult to keep her breath, noting how much she really did need to train her body, if she was winded by that little run. A normal shinobi would have been able to run faster and longer than that, and she had a lot of catching up to do before she could be considered normal in skill to even an average genin. It didn't help her catch her breath when all of a sudden, her sister stopped running, calling out "Spar time!" and lashing out with her elbow, catching Aenon in the gut, knocking the wind out of her, catching her completely by surprise.

Letting go of her grasp, Aenon was about to try and catch her breath, before the next thing she knew was that the world became inverted as she was swept off her feet. Slamming down into the ground, Aenon was struggling to catch her breath, the sudden increase in her heart rate not only from her running, but from the sudden adrenaline increase, the hit to her gut, as well as her hitting the ground so hard made it difficult to breathe. Rolling over, Aenon went to push herself back up to her feet when she she saw a flash of metal in Kanon's hands, and her body just reacted, launching herself off the ground, using all four of her limbs to push off, as the senbon flew under her just barely.

Landing on her feet unsteadily, Aenon dragged in a huge breath, finally managing to take in some air, pulling out her kunai as she did so. The lack of grace she'd just demonstrated wouldn't really give her any time to do anything, but at the same time, now she knew she was in a fight, instead of being caught off guard as she had been previously. Glaring slightly at her sister for the cheap shot, Aenon righted herself, making sure she had proper footing.
