Rating: PG! Subject to change with... whoever comes in.

Tsuna stands in the middle of the gym, beads of sweat starting to form on his skin. There's an orange fire blazing from his forehead, and on his hands, a pair of red metallic gloves. His breath comes out in soft huffs. There's evidence of his testing of his other abilities in the gym; burnt and dented walls, a fine layer of dust settling on some of the nearby equipment.

He braces his feet against the ground, holding both of his palms up towards the wall, next to each other, fingers slightly curled. It's a bit hard to see from a distance, but his eyes seem to have these strange meters on them. They fill up as he stands there, a soft flame coming out from the back of his gloves. When they both fill fully, Tsuna's eyes widen suddenly, and a great flame explodes from his hands. A lion's head can be see briefly within the flames before it crashes into the wall.

The resulting explosion causes the ground to tremble slightly, and Tsuna lowers his hands, panting. The flame on his head fizzes out, and his eyes lose their sharpness as he talks to himself.

"It doesn't look like my loss is an ability..." He lifts a hand and looks at his glove, which has reverted to its mitten form. "I wonder if everyone gets those losses.."

Ino happened to be heading up the stairs to grab something from her room. Nothing new or unusual about that. What was strange was the loud crashing noise she heard on her way up.

Of course, those type of noises generally come with a fight of some sort, so she's cautiously approaching the gym, knife out, and peering in the door, expecting to see two people, probably overpowered and in ridiculous armor, and ...

... Wait. A little boy? She's staring in confusion, now.

"Haaah," Tsuna sighs, wiping an arm across his forehead. He hasn't noticed Ino, and thinking himself to be alone, continues to talk to himself. "What else was it? An item, an ability... a memory?" He stares at the opposing wall, looking troubled. He's quiet for a few seconds, and then,

"Haaaah, I'm never going to figure out what I've lost if it's a memory!!" he whines, digging his hands through his hair. Eyes closed, he starts heading towards the entrance. "Ahh, maybe I should go through all my stuff again..."

He opens his eyes.

He sees Ino.

He freezes.

The look on his face pretty much mirrors his thoughts exactly: How long has she been there...?

Well, she's busted. She's got a pretty good idea of what he's doing, now that she heard him ramble about his loss, but ...

"Shouldn't you be doing that outside?" She points to the destruction in the gym room. Sure, it'd fix itself, but being trapped in a small room like this was bound to be trouble, if he had such wide-ranging attacks.

"Heh?!" He jumps a little at the question.

"Well, I, ah..." can't come up with a good answer to that, clearly.

"I... hadn't thought about that, actually..." he admits, looking plenty sheepish and guilty as he rubs the back of his neck.

Ino looks a little amused at his response. She thought he might tell her to get lost, or something equally aggressive, but -- he seems ... cute, and nonthreatening. (Let's just ignore the fact that he's surrounded by things he just exploded.)

"Don't worry -- this room will fix itself. But it looks like you could use a bigger space."

Tsuna looks back towards the huge dent he made in the wall.

"Ahh, well, I was just checking to make sure all my abilities were working properly. I doubt I'm going to do something like that again soon."

He looks back at Ino. She's... quite pretty!! Although, why is she talking to him?

"O-oh!" He steps out of the way. "I'm done now, if you wanted to use the gym! Sorry about that."

Yeah ... that was what she figured. But she'll shake her head.

"No, I just came to look because I heard that loud sound." She'll glance around ... she doesn't look afraid, more amused. "You did all this yourself, huh?"

"Uh, yeah..."

Tsuna's gaze follows hers, generally indifferent towards the chaos. Despite his accomplishments-- nearly destroying the wall of the gym included-- he hardly believes this to be an amazing feat of power. It probably has something to with having been surrounded by guys stronger than him all the time.

It's really not that much for a ninja, either, but -- she doesn't often see someone letting out their powers like this, here. Unless there's a huge battle, but then it's mostly targeted at monsters or some sort of foe ...

"You said you were looking for your loss?" She'll lean against the doorway casually as she talks, putting away her knife now that she knows he's not a threat.

"Yeah, I am."

He looks down.

"I was thinking I'd have a hard time figuring it out if it's a memory, so I figured I'd just double check my belongings to make sure it wasn't one of those, but, it's not like I really have much on me..."

Somehow, he's begun rambling at Ino, and now he's digging into his pockets. "I have my rings, my gloves, my contacts..." Which are still in his eyes, although they're no longer filling or moving. He pulls out his container of pills and his charm. "And I have my pills and good luck charm, and that's everything..."

She'll watch him pull out all his belongings, before she speaks up.

"Sometimes it can be a little more complicated. For example, I knew a guy who could only go so far away from the castle. Another person lost the ability to tell whether a person was a guy or a girl. Stuff like that can be hard to figure out."

"Eh?!" W-what kind of a loss is that? Tsuna had to wonder. He puts his stuff back away, going, "Maaa, I guess I'll come upon it sooner or later..." He then perks up, looking at Ino. "Although, I was wondering. Does everyone have to have a loss?"

"Unfortunately, yeah, they do," Ino said with a frown. There'd been many people who thought they'd gotten off without one, but she knew there wasn't a single person who'd escaped that little part of being here. "Sometimes, people don't ever figure out what it is, but ... everyone has a loss."

Tsuna's head is slightly bowed, eyes narrowed a bit in thought.

"Well, I know one thing..."

He looks up, completely serious and determined.

"The castle made a big mistake in not taking my fire away."
