 * HitomiHyuga The sun would be reaching through the green of the leaves as it climbed up into the sky. Another early morning was to be had for the ‘Byakugan Princess.’ She had eaten a decent breakfast that would help keep her going but wouldn’t sit heavily in her stomach. It was a good thing too since she had a lot of training to do.

In the training grounds, she had been swinging her hands in fast motions as if her shoulders were greased up and able to be pulled and pushed in any way possible. Rotating them like windmills before once more walking over to a training dummy. She’d once more begin her rotation of Thirty-two palms making sure to strike the dummy with force and precision. Yet she would not slow down as her metal claw like fingers would slice into the dummy. She’d hear her fingers tear at it and the sound almost made her smile. The onyx hair of the girl would be up in a high ponytail while her pants and tank top were matched up perfectly with her running boots with the custom heel. The girl had been going at the dummy for a while when she had placed her arms down and had started breathing heavy. Sweat began to glisten on her brow when she had brought her hand up and wiped it with the back of it.

 Looking down to the ground, she closed her eyes and knelt down letting her hands drape between her legs while her arms rested on her knees. She was going to drain herself if she kept training like this. 03:20, April 22, 2016
 * AkiInuzuka Aki Inuzuka: Her small hands pried the last bits of her scalp’s root line apart so that the dye in the bottle could make it’s mark and forever fight back her natural brunette shade. All around in the space of her room rather loud music blared causing the small girl to bounce periodically to the beat whilst gazing in at her reflection. “..Heh..” All too quickly she put the remnants of the solution down and dashed to an open window but before leaping out called over her shoulder to a resting ball of black and white fluff comfortably settled on the foot of her bed. “..Yo! Miki we gotta go! Switch off the tunes and let’s hit it!” Cued by Aki’s call, the fur sprang to life with a grin and a lolling tongue. She bounded swiftly off the sheets, onto the radio which quieted the sound and sent her flying through the air only to land firmly on the shoulder of the Genin. Aki plummeted a good two or three feet and then landed dashing in the direction of the woodland. Today was way too nice to allow it to waste and there was some major training needing to be done.

“Yap Yap!”

Miki scrambled underneath Aki’s jacket so that she wouldn’t be thrown off of her from the speed the Inuzuka reached. Soon enough the duo managed to arrive but noticed very quickly that they were not alone.

“..Who’s that?…” Aki whispered to both herself and to her canine companion. Miki leered out from under her jaw and without warning leapt out onto the field. “Eh?!..” The pup charged towards the woman crying sharply so as to announce her presence and appear frightening or intimidating. She didn’t know this person and she sure wasn’t going to be underestimated. This caused Aki to trot after her though kept a keen eye on the stranger. Maybe this wouldn't be too bad sharing the spot with an obviously high ranked Shinobi. Not too often one came accross someone like that.

“..Yo." 03:37, April 22, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga Hitomi saw movement and heard the yipping. Her breath caught in her throat as she turned her head and saw the pup coming towards her making itself known to her. She had tilted her head just a bit as she smiled warmly to the small pup. But that slowly changed when she heard the girl’s voice and looked up.

Her eyes scanned over the marks on her face and then looked between the pup and the girl. Her chest felt tight and she began to feel her breathing quicken.In her mind flashed the images of her lost friend and his Ninken. Slowly, she tried to calm herself down and still found her chest tight but she was able to find her voice that was soft as it came from her lips. Her smile that crossed her lips once more was one that would be warm to the girl. “Please forgive me…” She looked up to the girl. “Good Morning to you.” 03:56, April 22, 2016
 * AkiInuzuka Woah, definite change in body posture and eye contact. As an Inuzuka Aki’s five senses were naturally heightened and because of this she could hear more she could see more than most could and absolutely determine small differences and changes exactly like this one. Even so, Aki gave the Hyuga a beaming grin and waved her hand above her head. For now she’d appear friendly after all that was how friendships were made and it made the first impression.

“ ..Hey. No worries. Morning. Sorry bout loud mouth here. She’s happy to meet you if it makes ya feel better.”

Miki could be so outright with things and forward and sometimes it got the both of them into some deep dog doo. Especially if it was someone not too privy to the ways of pups.

“..Dang, you did a number on that dummy.”

By now Aki had been studying every inch of her watching for an altering in her stance or something that might indicate she’d attack. So far things were docile all things considered. Miki had taken it upon herself to prance closer and inspect the new face and the new scent. Her tail was swaying back and forth rather quickly and Aki knew that her temperamental pal was taking a liking to her.

“..Yap!”

Miki released another bark confirming the Inuzuka’s suspicions. So guess it was okay to socialize here.

“…I’m Aki. This is Miki." 04:09, April 22, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga HItomi smiled and sat on the ground with her hands laying still in her lap as the pup came towards her. She had been so very used to the ways of Ninken companions. Her eyes looked warmly to the pair as she listened to the girl.

"Oh, she's no trouble at all. I .. uh.. had a bit of a flash back.. I'm sorry for my reaction."

There was a sadness to the girl's eyes as she looked to the pair. her chest would show the deep breath of trying to keep herself from crying. Slowly, she moved her fingers up to slide a few stray hairs from her face and tuck them behind her ear. She'd hear her comment on the dummy and smile a bit.

"yeah, metal claws will do that in combination with Gentle Fist. It's one of the reasons I'm scared a bit to spar others. I don't like the idea of poking them full of holes." She'd listen to the introduction and gently took off the metal finger tips. It would be seen that the Hyuga girl would be missing half of her index finger on both hands. Placing her hands out to the pup slowly, she'd wait to see if she would come any closer.

"My name is Hitomi. It is nice to meet the both of you." 04:32, April 22, 2016
 * AkiInuzuka Miki gladly trumped forth and made her comfy bed the Hyuga’s lap. She didn’t mind encroaching on personal space but being invited was a totally new story! She nuzzled her furry nose against the woman’s abdomen and emitted a small affectionate whine. Geez she could be such a drama queen.

“..Ha..”

Very in tune with other’s emotions, Aki moved a little closer and plopped down close by watching Miki interact with Hitomi. It was obvious that for some reason she was saddened by them..was it something she did? Nah..maybe something in her past. The past could be really sad sometimes.

“..Don’t mind me asking? You seem kinda down in the dumps. Miki usually makes people happy.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Maybe it was bold but everything about the Inuzuka was. That and genuinely caring for the most part. Now though that was a sight to see, her fingers were messed up. Must have been some kinda result of a fight or two. Considering she was a Hyuga that must have been a major infringence on their customary style. Edited by AkiInuzuka 04:39, April 22, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Hitomi gladly and warmly accepted Miki in to her lap and curled her arms gently around her. Her fingers lightly would curl around in the pup's fur while she looked to her hearing the girl's question. She'd nod softly and only continue to stroke through the pup's fur with gentle strokes.

"Tsukakaba and his ninken, Hoshi were my best and most closest friends in this world. We had gone on a mission together for the sake of Konoha with another genin and our Jounin." Her bottom lip began to quiver slightly. "They were taken from me.. I saw it and wasn't able to stop it..." She felt her eyes begin to water while her fingers dug carefully into the pup's fur to lightly scratch at the skin. "The two most important people and one pup were taken from me that day..."

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Her pearlesque eyes remained upon the pup for only a moment longer before looking up to the girl. "Hearing Miki come at me made me think that Hoshi was running towards me once more." 05:01, April 22, 2016
 * AkiInuzuka <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Woah, the scene got intense way too quickly for Aki’s liking. But..here it was again. The overwhelming aspect of death ever present in the life of a Shinobi big or small. It hadn’t been anything the Inuzuka herself had experienced personally even though her mother left this earth after complications dealing with her birth. That didn’t mean anything unfortunately because she’d not gotten to know her but the child didn’t fail to notice a few children her age and adults spending their times mourning those they loved in the graveyard. She didn’t miss seeing the tears they shed and the way the clouds loomed over their heads as if all of their pain and their sorrow swelled and swelled until finally it congregated enough to command the weather itself.

“..I’m sorry..man I guess that would kick up a few emotions.”

Miki was just as insightful as her owner but instead of lowering her sense of excitement or enthusiasm it would double so as to make up for the saddened parties lack. Then to make things much better in her tiny mind she jumped up against the Hyuga’s torso and reached out so that she could rapidly lick her troubles away in every sense of the word.

“..Hehe. Miki’s sorry too.”

She hoped things wouldn’t be awkward after this, talking about those who died could really sour a conversation. it wasn’t long before the realization that the one who lost their life was from her clan reminded her of that news. They got it too and their kind were absolutely devastated. Soon after that the sensation of fear…fear? Yea..it was scary. An Inuzuka died..and what about her? What if she died. What if she lost her life like that boy and Miki too? Never one to roam on unpleasant thoughts Aki quickly tried to move it along with one of her signature grins.

“…He was a cool kid for sure! But he wouldn’t want you to be sad right? …Easier said than done. Say!!..”

Suddenly she had a brilliant idea and she couldn’t stop herself from suggesting it.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">“..I think we should be friends! Yea!..That way maybe if we’re friends you won’t be as sad anymore." Edited by AkiInuzuka 01:49, April 24, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Hitomi smiled warmly hearing the girl. Her fingers still stroking through Miki's fur. She was attuned to the way people felt from her long time with being around her Inuzuka friend. It was something that she had picked up really easily now. It was scary to think that she was not an empath in any way but she had picked up the feeling of the two. Her eyes once more held the warmth that they always had and she looked between the two that were with her. She'd enjoyed the licks from Miki and only cuddled into the ninken more while burrying her face into the side of the pup's neck.

"I'm not really saddened by his loss any longer. He is one of my driving strengths to move on and become the best that I can be both as a shinobi and as a Medical nin. I know that him and Hoshi are with me always and there will never be a day that I walk upon this earth that I walk alone. I firmly believe that."

She laughed softly hearing the excitement in the young Inuzuki's voice. Looking up to her, she gave her a warm and welcoming smile that reached her eyes.

"I think that would be a wonderful thing. Friends are indeed a most precious treasure and I am honored that you would think of me as such."

She thought about the last time she was friends with an Inuzuka and chuckled softly.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">"Please tell me that if I bring food for us, you and Miki are not bottomless pits?" 02:17, April 24, 2016
 * AkiInuzuka <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">“Can’t promise much, we eat a ton. Haha..but we always eat when we get home so we can definitely leave some for you!”

Aki laughed, it was funny to think about devouring everything the Hyuga would offer. Suki, her elder sister always cooked for the family and all of them were big eaters though their metabolism’s and training usually kept them physically fit.

“That’s a good thing. That you don’t let yourself get dragged down by this. It’s really important. It’s important not to be ruined or let your happiness leave you. My dad always says that. It’s admirable.”

As goofy as she was no one thought she of all people would be in tune to people almost as much as her new friend. But she had a lot to learn.

“…Wait so you cook too?”

Her eyes lit up and she felt herself salivating inside her mouth past her canine fangs. Miki yipped, settling down comfortably against the young woman.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">“..That’s great! I can’t wait to taste it!!..We love to eat!! I bet you’re better than my sister and she makes food all the time." 02:28, April 24, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"> Hitomi laughed and looked up to her new friend with a gentle laugh. "Yes, I cook. Tsuki-chan would come running from the woods just about howling to me asking if I was going to feed the two of them with Hoshi howling just as much as he was. Hoshi would jump into my lap and make himself right at home..” She’d smile looking to Miki. She’d try not to notice that the young Inuzuka would be almost salivating at her words with the little bit of saliva that would be moving at the very corner of her mouth. It was hard not to notice things now that she had come to be older.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> “Thank you. Perhaps soon we can have a luncheon in the woods some time in the near future. I have training just about every morning bright and early so it’s not like me to be up and moving when the sun is just peaking over the mountains. “ 03:23, April 24, 2016
 * AkiInuzuka <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">“Laaaame. I like to sleep in but I can’t lately with the team.”

She flinched, there was an itch at the back of her ear coming and it bothered her. Without thinking, her left leg lifted and stretched back behind her head. Instead of using her fingers like a normal person, the back of Aki’s boot swiftly struck with controlled strength to relieve herself.

“ Meh…I can’t complain though I’m super excited to start working with them. Gonna make them all my best pals and fight to keep them safe! They’re gonna need me picking their butts off the dirt hahahaha!”

Ever overconfident, the Inuzuka brimmed with glee. Her leg lowered but just as quickly Miki contracted an itch or something similar and proceeded to do the same as her partner. Though her doing so was much more natural than watching Aki do it. The tag around her neck hanging by a thin silver band with the emblem of the village she served bounced over and over against her white neck tuft.

“..But..if I’m up before them I’ll come find ya and we can eat before my shit starts.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Foul language was common for the girl, her father used it even though he strictly forbade her to. Monkey see monkey do. Edited by AkiInuzuka 03:40, April 24, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"> Hitomi laughed hearing her exclamation and before she could answer, she saw the girl bring her leg up and itch the back of her ear. She smiled softly and looked to Miki. She had been used to the way that the Inuzuka clan had acted and only smiled more. She was thankful for having had the interaction with Tsukikiaba like she had. It made things much easier for her with meeting Aki.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> “The training I have first thing in the morning is with my mother for my Medical nin stuff. Then I have breakfast and go to my regular team training. Mornings are rather busy for me. We can do a lunch thing instead for you since you are more than likely going to be awake more for that.” 03:59, April 24, 2016
 * AkiInuzuka <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">“Lunch sounds fine. I think I got a break or two but gotta make sure I spend it with them too but I’ll pick days to come see you!”

Aki nodded matter of factly inwardly vowing to do what she said. She was sure soon she’d be way more busy than she was before but she could make time.

“..Do you like music? I’m majorly into the latest groups like NinjaStar and Sheenobis. Rock and loud and yea!”

Aki smirked and clapped her hand together.

“Love to dance and jump and make noise!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">She really was a crazy person who made tons of racket. Her sisters could barely stand her, they’d grown up to be respectable young ladies with careers. One a medical ninja and the other a Shinobi who suffered an injury and was chilling at home for the time being helping around the house. After their mother died the girls really stepped up. 04:33, April 24, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"> Hitomi had smiled and listened to the young girl as she was so excited over everything. How much she reminded her of her dear Tsuka-chan. Everything about the girl was so over the top. Her excitement. Her enthusiasm. The way she spoke and the way she moved. It was all so vivid and full of life. It must have been nice to be such a free spirit and not have to worry about the watchful eyes of the Elders that would constantly scrutinize every move she made.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;">

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"> “I love music. All types really but I am not really one to listen to much when I am at home. The house is normally quiet as the elders of my clan are a bit on the stern side. But I’d love to listen to something if you bring it with you.” She said with a bright smile and nod.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> Hitomi enjoyed seeing the girl so lively. It was wonderful to see in her eyes. Then again, the feel of having the girl near her and the pup in her lap helped to ease an ache that had been throbbing for over two years now. Perhaps with the young Inuzuka and her pup could help her finally close that chapter of her life and she could move on to the next that had yet to be written. Edited by HitomiHyuga 07:13, April 24, 2016
 * AkiInuzuka <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">“Yea it totally looks like I’m gonna have to educate you in some REAL music.”

The girl’s head nodded again, Miki’s followed right along. She planted her hands back behind her and settled her weight there so as to further relax.

“..So you must have done a ton of missions and stuff. Right? I bet its the coolest thing to fight a bad dude and save the day.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Thus far, the Inuzuka had yet to experience the torture of this life. She was looking forward to something she had yet to completely understand and still possessed a childish outlook. It could be offending to some but that never occurred to her until after she’d let loose with what she had to say. 15:23, April 24, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Hitomi laughed softly and nodded. "I can't wait for my first lession." She said with a warm smile and a slight tilt her her head.

However the light mood had changed but she had made sure not to show it when the girl had brought up the fact of fighting the bad guys and saving the day. "I've been on a few missions, yes. But it's more then fighting bad guys and saving the day. There are things that happen that you never wish to see and other things that you wish to forget. There's death on both sides of the battle field. It's a hard lession to learn and an even harder lession to accept." She said with a soft smile on her lips.

Not wanting to scare the child but also not wanting to lie to her either. That was the difference between the young Genin and the older Chuunin. That small bit of experience that allowed the young girl to still live in a world that things were still alright and nothing else really mattered. While in Hitomi's world, death happened all too much. It was a very hard reality in her world but it was one that she had come to accept.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">It was part of being a Shinobi. 16:56, April 24, 2016
 * AkiInuzuka <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">She listened closely to what the Hyuga was saying. It rang all too true to her and it was very scary however this wasn’t the first time she’d heard nearly everything she was stating. More often than not her sisters involved her in their stories and all that came with them. Tales of people they cared about laying down their lives for the leaf and how much they mourned them. She’d seen Suki in the graveyard by more than one stone and spending most of her evenings there. It didn’t make the reality of it any less true hearing it from someone else that’d been in her shoes. Shoes she’d soon find herself lacing up on her own feet.

“..The life of a ninja is hard. Dad says that and Suki tells me tons of stories about what happens when she’s out there. Sometimes I guess I forget that they might not come home one day.”

Miki whined, allowing a yawn to leave her jaws. She laid her head down in Hitomi’s lap. She was bored.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">“…I’m scared to be honest. I'm scared that one day I’ll see something like that." Edited by AkiInuzuka 22:33, April 24, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Hitomi found herself smiling warmly to the young girl. Raising her hand up, she'd ruffle the girl's hair a bit and found herself being much like the Jounin that she had come to care for greatly before he was taken from her.

"It's good to be scared. It means that you're not going to let your guard down and you will be able to keep yourself alert."

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">She looked down to Miki and smiled. With the ends of her finger tips, she started to play with the pup. Wishing that she had something for the pup to tug on, she'd look about a bit and then just take some gauze from her side pack and begin to tie knots in it for the pup to use as a pull toy. 23:20, April 24, 2016
 * AkiInuzuka <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">“Whn?…”

Miki noticed immediately that Hitomi had retrieved and constructed something strange. She leaned forth and sniffed it, rather unsure. Suddenly realizing she wanted it, she snapped her tiny jaws on one of it’s ends and tugged attempting to take what was now rightfully her’s.

Miki laughed, batting at the hand that messed up her do. It was so weird how much Hitomi was like her sisters, especially Suki. Suki was kind and sweet no matter what Aki did she was always welcoming and had tons of advice for her. This woman was really the same in a lot of ways..she made her feel safe.

“..Woah, Haha..Miki loves tug of war..be careful she’s real strong.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Miki at this point was now furiously struggling with the make shift rope. How dare this woman refuse to give her the toy! She would show her!! 23:27, April 24, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Watching the pup sniff the make shift toy, she smiled as she dangled it for her to grab. Once she did, the young woman wrapped the end around her hand and held tightly to it while she tugged at it. For a small bit of time, there was no training. There was no work to be done. It was the quiet of the day with a newly made friend and her small companion. it was a peaceful tranquility that fed Hitomi's soul and soothed aches that had come over time.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">She went so far as to lay down on her own stomach and get down on the ground with the pup as she played. Making sure that her metal finger tips were placed in her pouch so that no one would get hurt from them, she growled playfully for the pup and even went so far as to gently try to nudge the pup over with the side of the young woman's head. It was as if the woman understood the way that animals were and in a way, it was true. Tsukikiba had been more animal then human and she loved that about him. He and Hoshi had shown her how to express things though actions rather then words. It was something that she never would forget. 23:38, April 24, 2016
 * AkiInuzuka <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">“You’re great with her..Tsuki must have really taught you how to work with ninken. He was a pretty cool guy. I didn’t get to talk to him much but my dad saw him a few times.”

From what she remembered he was really busy and not around too much but she loved Hoshi! She always brought the pup treats when she could before she and Miki had the opportunity to meet. Miki was in an entirely different world right now, it’d started out like a fight for dominance but now she was thoroughly enjoying herself. Aki played with her a lot but none who weren’t Inuzuka did. Her tiny growls were like a chorus joining Hitomi’s and her small muzzle brushed up against her playmate’s.

“Rrr! Rrrrrrr!”

Miki found herself smirking. She hadn’t had this much fun in a long time meeting someone new. A lot of people though she was too much, overbearing some would say. But Hitomi seemed to be really interested in her and wanting her to be around. Plus she meshed well with Miki and the dog seemed to like her.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">“…What other animals do you like?" 23:47, April 24, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Hitomi let the pup have the toy after nuzzling against the side of the small pup's muzzle. Sitting back up onto her knees, she'd brush off her forearms and torso while smiling to the two of them and letting out a soft but warm laugh at the growling that came from Miki.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">"I actually have a ferret at home. Meeko. He is an old man now but for the longest time, he was the only companion I had in this world. Him and I did everything together. Now he prefers to be in his cage, living out his golden years relaxing in his hamoc bed with the cage door open so he can leave it and walk about my room if he so wishes to." 23:55, April 24, 2016
 * AkiInuzuka <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">“Ohhh, Ferrets, yea!..Ha, they’re more like toys to dogs. Don’t do well together usually. But I think they’re really cute. I wanna meet him some time!”

Aki reached over, resuming the play with Miki by tugging on the rope. Miki was entirely unhappy that her toy was now under siege again.

“..I was thinking about getting a bird, one of the ones that can talk if you train them.”

She flopped back onto the grass which prompted Miki to spring onto her chest.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">“Oomph!" 23:58, April 24, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Smiling she sat back and watched the two quietly as she relived the play time that Hoshi and Tsuki had with one another. The growling and the rough housing sat well with her and she was at peace for once in a very long time.

"Be careful of what you say around them. They are horrible mimics. The last thing you'd want would be for it to hear you say something about your family out of anger and then for the bird to repeat it at the wrong time."

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">She laughed softly and watched the pair. A slight nod from her was all that was given as she slowly took her metal finger tips from her side pouch and placed them on, one by one. In a way, it was a reminder that she was not the same girl that she had been but she was alright with that. Now she was one that could stand on her own two feet and perhaps she could be one that would be able to help someone else. 00:20, April 25, 2016
 * AkiInuzuka <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">“Shiiit, if my dad heard it cussing I’d be fucked royally. Or if I ..aw man..Maybe one that doesn’t talk..”

Aki rubbed the back of her head and watched Hitomi place the claws back where they had been before. In a way she was intrigued, she’d seen lots of weapons but never ones like these. Claws like a cat’s that would deal a ton of damage with a good Taijutsu skill and Hyuga were all about that.

“..Where’d you get those?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">She inquired, sitting up. There were leaves in her hair. Miki had finally won her toy and tromped off a few feet away to tear it asunder in peace. 00:23, April 25, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">As she placed the metal clawlike fingertips back on, she smiled hearing the inquary of the girl.

"Back when I had my Chuunin exams, I cut off the tips of my first two fingers in order to continue my attack against my own brother of Thirty-two palms. Which allowed me to win. After the exams, a friend of mine, Keldran Fuma to be exact, made these for me. Seeing as he had seen that I don't use weapons and I had lost a good portion of my first two fingers, he made these for me. Not only to correct the loss of my fingertips but to give me a deadly weapon. They are the most precious gift I have ever been given and the fact that he made them because he wanted to makes them even more special to me."

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">She said as she looked up to the girl with a bright smile. 00:30, April 25, 2016
 * AkiInuzuka <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">“Woaah…you seriously cut your own fingers off?!..That’s savage!! I bet it hurt, holy crap.”

She exclaimed, astounded by the idea. Then cringed, that really would hurt. For sure! No way getting around that, Hitomi was a real bad ass and seriously wanted to win. She did what was necessary to.

“…You’re amazing. You’re gonna have to help me train for sure! After my Sensei of course!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Mike’s head lifted off the tattered remains of her play thing. It didn’t last long in her tiny fangs. She was bored again, wondering when things would get interesting, Aki seemed amused. 00:36, April 25, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Hitomi smiled and stood from the ground brushing herself off. She'd look to the two and gave a nod.

"I am only myself and that is all I can ever ask anyone to be is nothing more then themself. But I will gladly help you train if that is what you wish."

She said with a smile and a tilt of her head that was warm and welcoming.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">"However, I need to be going. My shift at the hospital is starting soon." She moved to make sure that all her stuff was gathered up and then looked to the two that were there. "Are you two staying here or would you like to walk back to the Village with me?" 00:40, April 25, 2016
 * AkiInuzuka <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">“Huh? Oh!..Nah, Miki and I are gonna do some exercises out here for a while. You have a good day Hitomi! See ya tomorrow or uhh..maybe later tonight!”

She waved her hands at her friend and she made her way to her feet. Miki bounded over, yapping away all of her goodbyes.

“..I’ll be stronger when we train so you better watch out!”

Her hand balled into a fist rather tight and she pumped it into the air, a shit eating grin plastered on her face with canines showing.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">“Bye Hitomi!!" 00:45, April 25, 2016 01:04, April 25, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">She smiled and waved her hand in the air. "Take care and be safe." With that she went on her way to go to the hospital where she would shower up and get ready for her shift to start.
