Ulikra was leaning against a wall beside a restaurant, watching the people around him going about their daily lives. He heard someone call his name and looked around. A boy about his age was smirking at him from the entrance of the restaurant, a glass of water in his hand. His brown eyes were mocking, and his brown hair was lifted as the wind blew in their direction. It was the son of the restaurant’s owner, Ja-ku, a boy who Ulkira greatly disliked and vice versa. Ja-ku thought the life of a ninja was dumb and only for fools, while Ulkira despised him for that reason. Ulkira looked down at him with his usual blank face and replied, ”Oh it’s you, Ja-ku. I thought it was perhaps someone intelligent, you know, for them to be able to say my name.” Ja-ku flushed in anger and Ulkira looked away. He didn’t really have time for this; he wasn’t in the mood to exchange pointless talks with Maro. He wasn’t even worth beating up. A second later, Ulkira felt water on his face. He blinked his eyes and looked t Maro, who was grinning wickedly, having just thrown water on Ulkira. Ulkira growled and made to hit Ja-ku, but stopped, a better idea forming in his mind. He looked at Ja-ku and gave him a twisted smile, then walked off. Ja-ku shrugged and went back into the restaurant, while Ulkira doubled back and used Bikou Ninjustu to hide.
As time went on, Ja-ku came out of the restaurant once more and Ulkira began following him quietly. Being a ninja, it was child’s play for Ulkira follow him around undetected. Ulkira waited for the right moment, then casted Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu. Ja-ku, unaware that the Genjutsu was cast on him, began walking around in circles, thinking that he was actually going somewhere. People passing by him stared as they walked past, wondering why he was returning to the same place so often. Ulkira suppressed his laughter as he watched Ja-ku beginning to wonder why he could see the same landmarks over and over again. Just one more trick, and that would be it for the day. Ulkira released the Genjutsu and watched Ja-ku for a while, waiting for the perfect chance to use his next move. He found it. Ja-ku was headed for the bathrooms, one door leading to the girls’ and one leading to the boys’. Grinning wickedly, Ulkira performed Kokohi no Jutsu to switch the signs on the doors. Ja-ku, unaware of anything, headed for the door woth the sign for men, unaware that it was actually for women. As soon as Maro went inside, Ulkira reversed the technique to fix the signs. A second later, a scream came from the bathroom and Ja-ku came running out, chased by a horde of angry girls. Ulkira succumbed to laughter as he watched Ja-ku running away into the distance.
