Escaping the Upper Quarters Shigure could hardly wait to think of an actual training regiment. Her goddess had just waved a golden opportunity before her and she wanted to reach it as soon as possible. Nimble fingers slowly pulled the black fabric over her face blocking her eyes for a moment as she struggled to get her head through the neck hole. She was not a fan of the black top she owned, but it was the first thing she could find in her closest that was not a dress. Once she got it on she was actually ok with it, her chest restrained so it would not cause any trouble with the tightly fitting top. Looking at the mirror she saw one of the things she disliked about herself as she lifted her hands to her chest. A low toned hiss escaping her lips before she resumed digging through her closet for something to wear over her lower body. Right hand flicking behind her back as she tossed out a few black pairs of jeans before she purred happily. Her figure leaning up as she admired her brown baggy pants with a few pockets she could store some weights in. Hopping into them for the most part before she turned her upper body to get a better view while pulling her tail out of the pant leg before shaking a bit, drops of water hitting the mirror from her hair as she looked herself over with a pleased nod. Ears lifting up on high alert as she heard the approaching footsteps of four people. One was much more rushed, two trying to keep up with the first, while the last seemed to just be strolling along for the group. Shigure knew only one person with that heavy step that was allowed within the house, her mother. Pulling a few of her weights from under her dresser, and taking her socks and boots with her other hand before she rushed to the window. Left hand trying to quickly stash the weights in her pockets to free her hand before she heard the sound of keys rattling. She did not want to deal with her family, they would never let her out this late, that's why she always snuck out. Door slamming open as Shigure opened the window and felt the cold night breeze against her face. "Get away from that window right now young lady, you have a lot of explaining to do. What is this story of you joining a Familia!" Shigure's attention was drawn towards her mother from the comment. How could she have already known about that, she only joined a few hours ago. Eyes narrowed as her older brother slowly walked out from behind their mom. His face covered with a sly grin before he mouthed 'try getting out of this one runt.' The action causing Shigure to hiss towards him before looking at her mom while backing onto the windowsill. "Even if I got away from here you would just tell those two to keep me in my room and never listen to what I have to say like always!" Shigure's voice held a lot of venom before she leaned back and fell out the third story window head first. The great thing about the house, she knew the layout better then the back of her hand or her twin tanto. Figure balling up slowly as she rolled mid fall to land feet first on the glass roof of the second floor indoor garden. her bare feet leaving a small print before she began to run across the glass carefully to avoid falling into the garden, last time was not fun. Ears turning slightly towards her back as she heard the two servants landing on the glass also, just what she needed getting chased by the twins when she had weights in her pockets and barefoot. Her tail flicked around showing her annoyance as she crossed off her agility training. The night was going to be a long one no doubt. Solo training thread
No moment wasted The annoying thing about the twins was their Agility right now. Shigure's figure sliding down the dome edge of the glass before she saw the two white blurs jump over her and stand before her when she landed on the first floor roof. "Relax Mistress, we just trying to make it look like we are chasing you. But know..." - "If you two don't drag me back my mom will hire adventures or mercenaries to do it for her? nothing new." Shigure could still feel her mother's gaze on her back, slowly leaning to pick up a few rocks as the twins signed and exchanged a nervous glance. The thing about Shigure sadly, she sucked with aiming projectiles. Gripping the handful of rocks before throwing them at the two who covered their faces giving a reasonable reason for Shigure to be able to dart between them and resume the chase. Her bare feet stepping on the cold roof slowed her slightly before she reached the ledge and reached her left arm to push her body up and go over the obstacle and allow her to land on the ground. Face filling with terror as she saw the figures guarding the gate. Towering at ten feet was her mom's personal body guard, and one who Shigure never got to know. Her was fully armored and against his back was a large sword, no doubt larger then himself. Rushing towards the right side of the front yard to try and find a area she could get over the twelve foot wall around the house. Sadly her mom had made sure there few ways over from the inside or outside. But as the twins ran past Shigure and got ready to give her a boost she felt pain bubble in her chest. Her mom would not doubt punish them for helping her get out, and that was taking it as a light offense. "I'm sorry you two..." - "relax mistress, we had been getting sick of your mom for a while now ... it's about time we all got free of her dictatorship." The twins smiled as each cupped their hands for Shigure's feet to land on before pushing her up to get to the ledge of the wall. As Shigure turned to look for them they had ran to intercept the large guard. "Go Mistress, We will slow him down before we follow behind you." Shigure watched the two pull out their hidden daggers from their sleeves as the guard lifted his own weapon and the other servants of the house poured into a loose circle around the two who helped Shigure. her fist clenched tightly before she shouted one order, the first one she had ever given to anyone. "You two better make it out of here and return to my side, or i'll never forgive you! that's a order!" Turn away as tears fell from her eyes before jumping away from the house and running. 'As if losing your little sister was not enough, now you chose to give those two up to defy mother? Have you learned nothing from what that women does when she does not get her way?' Shigure could not bother to take time to reply to her inner voice as she sobbed and tried to stop her tears. She knew her mom, and she knew what she did once she caught people who went against her like her own daughter. One slight glance over her shoulder to the small tower within the property as she saw the last image of her sister five years ago before the girl was locked in that tower. Fist clenched as she side stepped into a alley to get her shoes on. Solo training thread
