Kurosaki Eko "Neko"
Eko grumbled. He was really pissed. Currently, he was in a deserted place where no one is, so he could peacefully practice using the gun. It was somekind of a feared place, Eko didn't know why, but he didn't care. There, he would not be interrupted while training. The place was old, not even a bit crowded and it was really common to hear gun shots from there, so now he could practice as long as he wanted. Didn't wanting to practice with the others was another reason. In the inside, he was a bit embarrased that he couldn't handle a gun like all the others. But he didn't show it, obviously. He was too proud to show such an emotion.
He placed a round target not too far away from him and tried to hit it. And yes, he failed. And you don't believe how badly he failed. Some of the shots went through the air at last 3 meters above the target, some made the walls full of holes and some others were so far away that he didn't even get to see where it went to.
Don't close your eyes while shooting. "Yeah Yeah, it's easier to say then to do.", he muttered to himself angry and gave the target an angry glance, as if it was the main fault he was such a bad shooter.
He didn't even get to scretch that damn target! He sighed. Not being able to copy the gesture of that man who was really good at handling guns, he stared at the gun in his hand and sat down.
One year. One damn year. And he still wasn't able to handle a simple gun. It really pissed him off, but he knew, it wouldn't change to the better if he continues to swear like that. Still, although he was easy to be angry, he knew it wasn't right. But couldn't stop it anyway.
He stood up again. Placed his point finger on the trigger and concentrated on the target.
Eyes open. Set your target. Calm your whole body. Concentrate, and shoot.
He went through all the points he had to do once again and took a deep breath. "You'll get this one.", he mumbled encouraging himself and set the target. Relaxed his body, glanced with a tense look on his face to the red small spot on the center of the target.
"Now please, let your eyes open. Don't get scared of the sound. Relax.", he said to himself, closed his eyes for awhile, then with a determined face, get back to the stance, relaxed his body, concentrating... and pulled the trigger.
A shoot sound was going through the air, a small explosion. The birds were flying away scared. Then a deep silence...
Eko just stood there, had his eyes finally still open and had his glance set on one little hole on the very edge of the target. For some time, he was speechless, until then he smirked, very statisfied with him. Finally he could hit the target, although not in the middle.
It was a step forward.
