Honored Sage Mode

Fuyuki and Aki watched in tears as Hokori walked off to whatever his goal was. Team Inojin then returned home, dejected and missing a member. Soon after returning home, Fuyuki decided to teach Aki how to use and enter Sage Mode. Fuyuki said, "Aki, you know about Nature Energy, right?" Aki nodded, "I have been sensing it for a long time." Fuyuki then asked, "Have you tried absorbing it?" Aki raised an eyebrow, "No...?" Fuyuki then began absorbing Nature Energy and entered Sage Mode. Her purple and white eyes turn a few shades in the direction of orange but no pigment appears near Fuyuki's eyes, unlike normal Sage Mode. Fuyuki then entered Clairvoyance Burst Mode. Red and green arcs of energy explodes out of Fuyuki's eyes and pigment appeared where normal Sage Mode pigment would appear. Aki followed suit, absorbing Nature Energy. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. She felt herself slowly turning to stone. Fuyuki saw this and immediately pumped Aki full of chakra. Aki fell to her knees and panted. "Tch. I've been told you need high levels of chakra to enter Sage Mode." Aki smiled and said, "I guess I have too little chakra to control Nature Energy." Fuyuki put her hand on her chin and thought. A light bulb went on in her head and she said, "Aki, why don't you enter Star Chakra Mode?" Now it was Aki's turn put her hand to her chin. Then it clicked in her. She made the Cat hand seal and light purple star chakra began to issue from her. Soon, she was completely covered with star chakra. She pulled out her swords and imbued them with chakra. In her left hand, she held Seisekken II and Mizugiri in her left and right hand respectively. The blades, black and white, glowed blue as they were filled with chakra. Aki then sat down and meditated, with blades in hand. Fuyuki thought, ''I can't believe how quick she could enter Sage Mode! Unbelievable!'' Aki stood up, her eyes glowing orange. Aki said, "Well, I guess entering Sage Mode is a cinch when I'm in Star Chakra Mode." Aki then exited Star Chakra Mode and her eyes returned to her normal black. She then began panting and sighed, "But I guess it still takes some effort to enter and exit Sage Mode, huh?" Fuyuki held out her hand and smiled, "Yeah." Aki gladly took her hand. Inojin then discovered them. "Fuyuki, did you teach Aki how to use Sage Mode?" Fuyuki muttered, "Yes, I did... Is that a bad thing?" Inojin replied with a smile, "No, it's all good." He led them back to the village. Inojin said, "Let's just wait for Hokori to send a message." Fuyuki and Aki looked at their feet and silently nodded their heads. The two girls looked at each other and thought together, ''You better not die yet, Hokori. Not before you violate us!''
