Ryoko's eyes widened in surprise, and he took a step forward, his gaze fixed intently on Akira.
"Akira, your aura... it's changed. The balance of Yin and Yang within you is perfect. You've found a way to harness the power of both without succumbing to the darkness. I can sense the power of creation and destruction within you, but it's no longer chaotic. It's... harmonious." Ryoko's voice was filled with wonder and a hint of awe.
"You've truly achieved a balance that few have ever managed. Your path is no longer just one of destruction, but also of creation and life."
"Tsk it would have been bad ass if I was a destruction but since you blocked that path this was the only way!" Akira snapped clearly still angry she grabbed scroll and she started to read it.
Ryoko chuckled, a hint of amusement in his voice.
"I'm glad I could nudge you towards this path, Akira. You're still as fiery as ever, but now you have a balance that will serve you well. And who knows, maybe this path will be just as 'bad ass' as you wanted to be." He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners, as he watched Akira read the scroll.
"What's that you're reading, by the way? Something to help you master your newfound balance?"
Akira's eyes scanned the scroll, her brow furrowed in concentration.
"It's a technique for refining my energy," she muttered, not looking up.
"I need to make sure I can control this newfound balance of mine." She paused, her eyes narrowing as she read through the instructions.
"Hmm, this looks like it's going to take some practice..." Ryoko watched her, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Do you need any help with that?" he asked, his voice gentle. Akira's head jerked up, a look of surprise on her face.
"No, I've got it," she said quickly, her eyes flashing with a hint of defensiveness. Ryoko smiled wryly.
"Suit yourself," he said, and turned to walk away. "Just don't blow anything up, okay?"
"Ryoko get out! Out why are you nagging aren't monks suppose to stay away from woman!?" Akira snapped.
Ryoko's eyes sparkled with amusement as he turned to face Akira.
"Ah, Akira, you're as prickly as ever," he said, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "And yes, monks are supposed to maintain a certain level of detachment from women, but I'm not just any monk, and you're not just any woman." He took a step closer to Akira, his eyes locked on hers.
"Besides, I've made it my duty to look out for you, even if it means going against the traditional ways of the monastery." His voice was low and gentle, but firm.
"So, I'll stay right here and make sure you don't get into too much trouble."
"Alright help me balance this my yin yang out," Akira said as she sat down on the floor and she took off her outfit her bare back showed.
Ryoko's eyes widened slightly as he quickly looked away, his face flushing with a hint of embarrassment.
"Ah, Akira, perhaps you should keep your clothes on while we work on balancing your yin and yang," he said, his voice a bit strained. He cleared his throat and tried to compose himself, his eyes fixed on a point above Akira's head.
"Let's focus on the energy flow, shall we?" He took a deep breath and began to sense the flow of energy around Akira, his hands weaving intricate patterns in the air as he worked to balance her yin and yang. Despite his best efforts, he couldn't help but sneak a few glances at Akira's bare back, his eyes drawn to the smooth, unblemished skin.
"You are a monk you control it was is wrong with my back so many people have healed me man and woman," Akira said with an eye roll as a general she has always been wounded so of course she is used to doctors helping her.
Ryoko's face flushed with embarrassment as he looked away, his eyes fixed on the floor.
"Ah, Akira, it's not that I'm not used to seeing...ah, injuries," he stammered.
"It's just that, as a monk, I've sworn to maintain a certain level of...detachment. And, well, you're a woman, and...ah..." He trailed off, his face growing even redder.
"Never mind. It's just that I'm not used to seeing you in such a...state," he said finally, his voice barely above a whisper. He took a deep breath and tried to compose himself, his eyes flicking back to Akira's back as he began to examine the flow of energy around her.
"Let's focus on the task at hand, shall we?"
"You are so strange for a monk, are you from the Lotus Monk Sect?" Akira asked.
Ryoko's eyes widened slightly at the mention of the Lotus Monk Sect, and he hesitated for a moment before responding.
"Ah, yes...I am from the Lotus Monk Sect," he said, his voice neutral.
"But I'm afraid I'm a bit of an...anomaly, even among my fellow monks. I've always been drawn to the more...unconventional paths, and my methods may not be entirely in line with traditional Lotus Monk teachings." He glanced at Akira, his eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief.
"But I think that's what makes me so effective at helping you, don't you?"
Ryoko's eyes locked onto Akira's, and he smiled slightly as he continued.
"Besides, the Lotus Monk Sect is all about embracing the complexities of the human experience. We believe that balance and harmony can only be achieved by acknowledging and working with the contradictions and paradoxes of life." He leaned in slightly, his voice taking on a more conspiratorial tone.
"And I think that's exactly what makes our little...arrangement so effective, don't you, Akira? The fact that I'm a monk, and yet I'm not bound by traditional rules and expectations. The fact that you're a warrior, and yet you're also...so much more than that." He paused, his eyes glinting with amusement.
"It's all about finding balance in the midst of chaos, Akira. And I think we make a pretty good team, don't you?"
Ryoko's eyes lit up with interest as he watched Akira's aura begin to shift.
"Ah, yes...I can see the energy flowing more smoothly now," he said, his voice filled with a sense of satisfaction.
"Your yin and yang are balancing out, and your aura is starting to stabilize." He took a step back, his eyes fixed on Akira as he continued to observe the changes in her energy.
"You're a fascinating subject, Akira. So much power and potential, yet so much... turbulence. But I think we're making progress, don't you?" He smiled to himself, his eyes gleaming with a sense of curiosity and interest.
"I wonder what other secrets you're hiding, Akira. What other depths we can explore..."
Ryoko's eyes widened in surprise as Akira threw her arms around him, but he couldn't help but smile as he wrapped his own arms around her in a gentle hug.
"Ah, Akira...I'm glad to see you're feeling more balanced," he said, his voice filled with warmth and affection. He held her close, feeling the energy of her yin and yang aura pulsing through him, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment.
"You're a true marvel, Akira," he whispered, his lips brushing against her ear. "A true embodiment of the harmony and balance that I've always sought to achieve." He held her for a moment longer, savoring the warmth and connection between them, before gently pulling back to look into her eyes.
"And I must say, I rather like the new hair color," he added, a mischievous glint in his eye.
"It suits you."
