 * HitomiHyuga llTenaciousll: 👊 You ever got that feeling like something is about to happen but you don't know what? It's a feeling you can't really shake off and keeps coming back every once and awhile no matter how many times you try to block it out. A subconscious feeling that sometimes keeps you in suspense of something that is about to occur but in reality ninety percent of the time that feeling was invalid but there will always be that small percentage where that gut feeling is correct. Call it anxiety or being paranoid but that is the feeling that is running through Tai Hyuga's mind as he wakes up right before sunrise. New land, new home, and new faces...They had to begin their journey all over again, as if it's the same series just a different book in their life. He had mixed emotions about the subject, he didn't know whether he was suppose to feel relieved from finally breaking away or regretful for dragging his younger brother along with him away from their home. A home that will always be there true home because that's where they grew up at through thick and thin. Even though he disagreed with the Clan's philosophy, that still was his home and his younger brother's home in the end. That's all they knew and that's all they grew up on, so now that they are away from how things use to be they have to adapt to how things are now. Tai Hyuga stepped outside of their small home and the moment he did so a refreshing breeze grazed over the village providing a relaxing morning aroma as he took a deep breath to absorb the refreshing breeze and relax himself although it only helped a little. He was still a bit on edge from the move, and he didn't know quite yet where his brother and his path will lead down the road. But now since their parents had passed, it was up to him to fill in that gap for his younger brother of being both a parent and a role model, so it was up to him to teach the young Hyuga their ways of becoming a shinobi since they were the only Hyugas currently in the Hidden Cloud Village, at least that he knows of. He went back into the house and shut the door quietly behind him as a hint of sunlight was starting to show in the skies signaling the rise of a new day. Tai Hyuga was dressed in a Kumogakure Flank shirt and loose black shinobi pants. He had a bit longer hair than his brother that reached down a little past his shoulders and was tied into a loose ponytail. He had a lean built and is fairly tall, standing at 6'7, since both of his parents were tall individuals as well. His skin is slightly tanned like his younger brothers and they both had the same colored pale eyes of the Hyuga clan. He walked into his little brother's room and seen Xen sound asleep underneath his covers. He couldn't help but to feel overprotective of his little brother, but he know the time is coming that he has to let his brother fend for himself because in reality the Shinobi world can be heaven or hell at any given time. He went over to the edge of the bed and shook Xen's shoulder gently since he was a light sleeper and it didn't take much to wake him up. Xen opened his eyes and gave a brief yawn as his brother spoke to him calmly, “Rise and shine, time to start training bro.” Xen blinked as he looked over to the window as a subconscious reaction to see if it was day time and nodded to Tai, “Alright...just give me a few.” Tai got up from the bed and walked out the room to give his brother a few moments to wake up and get ready for the day. Xen went to the bathroom and took a 15 minute shower along with brushing his teeth routinely. He dried himself off and put on a sleeveless black top and wrapped bandages around his elbow to his wrist on both arms. He placed on comfortable underwear, and loose fitting black shinobi pants along with black open toed sandals. He had a small black pouch strapped onto his right thigh and two bigger gray pouches strapped at his waist in the back. He looked at himself in the mirror as he placed his black mask over his nose and mouth along with his square rimmed glasses that fit perfectly on his face. He let out a calming sigh as he walked out of the bathroom and grabbed his brown arrow holster with 10 arrows placed inside and his sturdy brown bow. He wondered if he would met anyone new at the training grounds or would it just be him and his older brother there since it was still early in the morning, not that he minded any company he just became accustomed to training with his brother. Tai nodded to his younger brother as they walked out of the house together and started to head their way to the down the path to the training grounds. 👊

HarleeVanity:[HU] Another morning had come and still Hikari was in pain from her journey to the village of Kumogakure. Her onyx hues not wanting to open while the sun came up and into the window. Slowly she opened one eye and looked towards the blinding light that was the bane of her existence at this moment. “Curse you, flaming orb of blinding light. I was sleeping.” Her voice was a bit on the groggy side and she truly didn’t wish to move. This was something that she had to do though. For more than one day she had been stuck laying in bed and the constant time of not being able to do anything was starting to wear on her nerves. Understanding that she was not allowed to be seen really, she had obeyed her brother’s orders and stayed in the old man’s home. But something had to give. Sitting up from the bed, she winced a bit with her hand on her side while she straightened up. Thinking to herself that this was going to be a stealthy day, she put her clothes on and began to silently make it from her room to the kitchen. She grabbed a few sweet rice balls from the steaming pan and looked about the kitchen and dining room before she walked quietly from the house and out the door. It was nice to be out and about for once in a long time. But she stayed hidden in the shadows of the alleyways. Her onyx hues had noticed a pair of boys walking down a path and noted their hues. Her eyes widened a bit and once the shock wore off, a smirk came across her face. How was it that those light hues were able to be in this area without having to worry about anything? Curiosity got the better of her as she took a large bite from one of the rice balls and began to follow after the pair, making sure to stay in the shadows and out of sight should someone follow after them. This was going to be fun so long as she didn’t push it and re injure something.[HU]

StevieSkies: [🌧] It was early morning in the Land of Lightning and Joku was already up. He was usually one of the first ones awake at the orphanage as he didn’t like sleeping. He would almost always get bad nightmares when he did sleep. Joku was dressed as he would any given day, in his fading teal sweater the clung onto his body, and a pair of black pants that puffed out a bit, stopping a few inches below his knee. He was barefoot, and traveled quietly through his room. His roommate was still fast asleep, so he did not want to wake him. Opening their window, Joku would hop out and land gently onto the ground that was only a few feet down. He’d run and laugh from the front of the orphanage to the back of it, where the garden lied. It was his responsibility to water the plants every morning. He’d run his fingers through his short and shaggy white hair, eyeing the plants up and down. They looked extra thirsty this morning. “Okie dokie plant friends! Time for some rain!” He’d say in a whisper, still very excited though. Focusing his chakra, the genin would hold out his hands as a small rain cloud formed over his head, moving on out to expand over only the plants. He’d let out a small exhale as a playful drizzle fell onto the leaves and petals, getting into the soil and eventually the roots. Once he was done, Joku would head inside and quietly sneak to the kitchen to get an apple. By this time, everyone was already waking up. Once his roommate had left the room, Joku headed back in to put on his forehead protector and sandals, before heading out. He didn’t know what he would do today, but he decided to just start walking into the village, since the orphanage was on the outskirts. Once he was inside he just started skipping and chewing away on his apple as he followed a path that would eventually lead to the training grounds. [🌧]

llTenaciousll: 👊 On the way to the training grounds there wasn't that many people out and about in the village since it was early in the morning hours. Xen walked beside his brother as they both walked in a quick paced stride through the village to the training grounds. Xen thought he would take this opportunity to make small conversation with his brother before they got to their destination. “What are we going to do for training today,” asked Xen in a slightly curious tone? Tai glanced over to his little brother giving him a small smile, “We are going to train on Speed. It's very important for a Hyuga to use speed when utilizing everything you do in combat, because you will be the main Eyes for your team. You have to be able to have quick reflexes at any given time, and being able to react rapidly to certain situations if not then your squad can go to into a battle blindly without their leading eyes. Everything you do all adds up to a bigger picture later on little bro, you will see in time.” Xen nodded understanding it for the most part although he still had some questions but decided to not ask them now. Tai Hyuga glanced to the side as he could sense someone following them, after all the Hyuga were sensory specialists and Tai is an experienced shinobi, although he made no move to confront the person since this was a foreign village to them and he didn't want to come off as hostile instead he would just keep his guard up. Xen was determined to do his best in training each day so he wouldn't dissatisfy his brother or his future sensei, whomever he or she may be. They could spot the training grounds up ahead but what caught both of their eyes was a boy, shorter than Xen himself, skipping through the pathway while chewing on an apple merrily. At first the two were puzzled by it, are people normally this cheery in the early morning hours at this village? That was certainly not something they were use to. Most people they cross in the mornings would tend to mind themselves and calmly prepare for the day by doing whatever task they needed to do so. Xen looked at his brother to see what they would do as his older brother just shrugged his shoulders and they continued walking over to the other side of the training grounds. Xen wanted to say something to the boy out of curiousness, but he knew he wasn't exactly the social type and his brother didn't like distractions doing training so he would have to stop to talk another time. He placed his arrow quiver and bow gently down against a tree as he looked to his brother for instructions as his brother spoke, “Okay time to work on your Speed Xen. For a warm up I want you to sprint back and forth for a distance of 15 yards 10 times then began your resistance training.” He pointed to the cliff that he wanted his younger brother to sprint along after he was done with his warm ups. Xen nodded as he took off his glasses and placed them next to his bow.👊

HarleeVanity:[HU] The thrill trying to stay out of the sight of everyone was all encompassing while she slowed and came to a stop just on the other side of a tree. Her small form able to be concealed by the girth of the tree trunk. Slowly, she moved her face to the other side of the tree and watched the two boys that were in front of her. Seeing the larger of the two look over his shoulder, she gasped softly and hurried to hide once more behind the tree. Had she made too much noise? Did she have bad morning breath? Slipping her eyes once more past the trunk of the tree, she tried to be extra quiet and not even allow her shirt to scrape against the bark of the tree. When she saw that they had taken their attention off of her, she slowly moved through the trees more. But once more she came to a fast stop when this time, she just looked to this boy that was skipping down the path. Her head tilted a bit while she just watched him happily skip down the path while eating his breakfast. Another slow creeping grin crossed her lips while she watched him. The kids in the area looked like so much fun! She just about ran from her place not caring about anyone seeing her when she remembered the words of her brother. She had to be hidden. She was in danger now since she left home. Pressing her lips together, she continued to follow after them only to see their destination to be a training area of some sort. ‘How wonderful!’ She thought to herself as she raised her shoulders up on either side of her head and giggled softly. She was learning more about the village with every moment and was beginning to really like this new place.[HU]

 StevieSkies: 🌧] Keeping on beat, and munching away, it appeared that soon Joku would be at the end of the trail. As the woods began to open up like a blossoming flower, his piercing blue eyes looked onward to see two dudes about to start training. He was watching as the one was about to start running. He’d take a final bite before chucking him apple high up into the woods. His aim was careless, but was heading up in a particular direction that could quite possibly nail a certain little lady in the head if she didn’t react quick enough. Using his fingernail to pick at a piece of skin caught in his teeth, Joku pluck it out and onto the ground before approaching the two men. One looked around his age, while the other was much older. “Hi fellas!” The Yota exclaimed very gleefully. He could see that the taller one had spooky eyes of pure white, like his own hair! He did not see the others male’s face right away, as he was turned away when putting down his belongings. As he waited a moment of so for an acknowledgement, Joku prepared a follow up question to his greeting. “Whatcha guys doing on this lovely morning?” [🌧] 04:49, July 28, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga llTenaciousll: 👊 Tai was slightly shocked at how friendly this individual was especially during this time of day. Normally everyone keeps to themselves and don't try to make much conversation in the early morning hours. and Xen wasn't expecting for someone to come over and speak to them as well. At least not yet. Tai looked over at Xen who seemed to be staring at the friendly shinobi curiously before looking over to his brother who nodded to him as he understood the hidden message. While Tai talked to the stranger, Xen knew the nod was for him to start training since his brother didn't like wasting valuable time during training and the stranger seemed like he is very sociable and could easily get them trapped in a long conversation they didn't want to get put in. Tai spoke calmly but firm to get straight to the point, “We are doing a few training speed drills right now. What brings you here at this time of day?” He was honestly curious since most genin disliked mornings and this individual didn't seem like the one to be training at this time although he could be wrong. Xen looked back over to where his bow, arrows, and glasses were placed and made sure they were in a secure location before he started to do his warm ups which were 10 sprints at 15 yards back and forth with a 15 second resting time in between. Xen counted 45 feet from two points in the dirt and drew line in between the two points to measure 15 yards. He then took off on his first sprint running from point A to point B then back to point A. He counted that has one sprint and stopped himself to take a 15 second break as he inhaled through his nose and out through his lips to control his breathing before he broke off into another sprint, and now going through the same process repeatedly. Around the 5th sprint, you could see Xen's hair starting to stick to his forehead as sweat started to drip down from his hair due to the temperature outside, as he would occasionally wipe his face with the edge of his shirt. 👊

[HU] Hikari moved up a bit further in the woods and continued to watch the guys. In a way, she felt like a stalker of sorts but this was about as close to social interaction that she would be able to have at this moment. Until her brother had told her otherwise, she was to remain hidden and out of sight. It was really starting to suck for the young Uchiha girl who loved being outside and that outgoing boy seemed like he would be fun to talk to. He reminded her of some of the boys from home. There were a few that liked playing games in the woods with her. Races mostly that were from tree branch to tree branch and running over fallen logs. Things of that nature. While she watched and a smile crossed her face, she was about to giggle at the way the one boy was questioning what the other boys were doing today. ‘Thud!’ A hiss came from Hikari as she placed her hand on her head and she looked to what had just bounced off her head. Her onyx hues fell onto the apple core and she pressed her lips together. The sudden realization of her making noise came to her as she jerked her head back up to watch the boys. Did they hear her? Would her cover be spoiled over a discarded apple core? She bit her bottom lip and watched them hoping that her small noise was overlooked or not heard at all. [HU[

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">StevieSkies: [🌧 ] He blinked up at the man with the blank eyes. He was kinda scary looking, all serious in tone and nature. Before he could respond, he heard a thump. It was his apple hitting something, he didn’t care much though as he looked back at the man and gulped. “ Well, uh. I’m just being me!” He cheered awkwardly. His blues would be caught up though in watching the boy run sprints. “Oh! Let me!” And without warning started running with the boy, laughing his head off while doing so. He wasn’t as fast as him, but it was a good exercise none the less. He was laughing, the sun was glowing, and the birds sang. It felt like a perfect day. Joku knew to stand a bit away from the other kid though, no point in being a creep and running right on top of him. That would be super weird. He would follow right behind the other boy’s pace, getting nice and sweaty in the baking heat. [🌧]

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">llTenaciousll: 👊 Xen was consistent at the same fast pace for all 10 consecutive sprints. He couldn't show any signs of momentary distraction from the laughing boy behind him or his brother would lecture him after explaining him the importance of staying focus throughout the duration of training; although he was glad he as wearing a mask due to the boy's laugh was quite contagious and made him smile a bit on a few occasions underneath his black mask. Now Xen was warmed up and he could start on the resistance training set forth by his brother. He stopped to look over to the boy and make brief eye contact before looking at his brother who was leaning on a tree watching him closely. He thought better of making conversation as he jogged over to the steep hill and began running up the tall hill. Immediately he felt the pressure in his calves and ankles as he stumbled a little at first before gathering himself and running up the hill with quick feet. He ignored the beads of sweet that had fallen from his chin to the ground as the sun beamed up ahead now as it began to become later in the morning hours. 👊

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">[HU] Hikari leaned against the tree and watched in silence while the other two were doing their work out. It seemed that her small sound was indeed overlooked as her eyes scanned over the three that were there. Silently, she let out a sigh and almost pouted a bit. She wanted to join them and make a good race of the situation. It would be fun for them all and a work out on top of that. ‘I wish that Takuya would teach me how to hold a disguise for a long time so I can be with others.’ The silent thoughts of the child circled within her mind while she watched with a pout on her lips and almost a jealousy within her thoughts. Bringing up her fingers, she started picking the bark on the tree, little by little. Though it was just to keep her busy while watching the other children, she made sure to not make any noise. [HU] 03:35, August 1, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">StevieSkies: [🌧] He was certainly excited to keep on running with this guy. Joku never really got to be friendly with too many people without them getting uncomfortable with him, but these white eyed people seemed pretty chill so far. After they were done sprinting, The other boy looked at him for a moment, his eyes like his friends, pure white. He had never seen anything like it, and assumed that they were probably siblings or something of the sort. They both were sweating, sticky skin and clingy haired as the boy went to go up a hill. “Ooo!” He squealed before following him, this time a bit off to his right so he wasn’t right behind him. Joku was a few paces behind his speed and giggled as the other boy stumbled a bit, only to cause him to slip and roll down the hill. “Gah!!” He’d exclaim as he tumbled like a bowling ball heading down it’s lane. He recovered fast though as sprinted as hard as he could to get to the top. His cheeks a rosy shade from both the heat and embarrassment. Before the other boy could say a word he yelled, “watch this!” And immediately let out a small sigh before flopping onto the ground like an out of water fish, and rolling down the hill on his side. “Wheeeee!!!” [🌧]

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">llTenaciousll: 👊 Xen glanced back as he was running up the hill so the other boy rolling down the hill. He hesitated a bit as he stopped mid-step and contemplated to go help him up, but then he saw that the boy got back to his feet and started running back up the hill as Xen did so as well. Once he was at the top, moments later the boy came running up the hill to the top as well. Xen couldn't tell whether it was the heat or something else that made the boy's skin shade from pale to a red shade. He was also surprised as the boy started to roll down the hill on his side meanwhile Tai called down from the bottom of the hill, “Get back to training Xen!” Xen snapped out of it as he started to run back down the hill and once he was at the bottom he started to run back up. He did this for a total of 15 times with a 30 second break in between each run. When he was done he stood at the bottom of the hill with his hands rested on his knees as he panted for breath and had to occasionally swipe at the sweat that was now pouring down his skin. Meanwhile Tai was nowhere to be found or at least where he Xen expected him to be. Tai had used his Byakugan to locate the person he knew was following them earlier as he was leaned at a tree directly behind the person while they picked at bark. He decided to make his presence known as he cleared his throat, “Found you.” Xen had walked over to the boy before he had to face his brother whenever he showed back up. At first, he didn't know what to say other than introduce himself, but then an Idea came to his mind, “Hey I'm training again in two days on Taijutsu. If you can beat me in a Taijutsu match I'll buy you ramen. If not then I'll buy you ramen, deal?” Xen had a small smile underneath his mask as he loved the idea of a challenge, but he wanted to have fun with it as well. 👊

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">[HU] Hikari had smiled to herself as she watched the boy roll down the hill. What fun. She had tried to keep her enjoyment silent as she watched them but her smile just about beamed. Hearing the male voice, Hikari’s eyes had widened and she had taken a sharp gasp. She didn’t dare turn around because she knew that if she had, she would be seen then. Pushing chakra to the bottoms of her feet, she quickly moved up the side of the tree and into the branches. Then pushing from branch to branch, she began her way back to the village along the same way that they had come. Bringing her hands up, she formed the hand seal for the transformation jutsu and focused on a face that she had seen in the land of Frost. Blue eyes masked hers of black while freckles covered her face. If she was stopped, at least she would have that small bit of security. She was going to have to learn to use the transformation jutsu a lot better before she was going to be able to hold it for a long time but this would do for now incase the Hyuga boy came after her. Branch to branch, tree to tree, she sprinted until she was able to once more see the village ahead of her. Never would she leave the shop again until she was able to hold this jutsu for longer. Silently she hoped that her brother would come soon to help train her in it more and guide her. Today was just too close of a call for her liking. [HU]

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;"> <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">StevieSkies: [🌧] Joku stayed quiet as they kept running up and down the hill. It was kinda boring, but he had already started, so why stop? They only did a handful more after the first one, but he did hear the boy’s name for the first time. It was Xen. After they were done. Joku sat his bottom on the ground and hunched over, panting like a dog. His white bangs were flat and almost glued onto his forehead. His teal shirt was a solid two shades darker. Xen then started talking to him, letting him know that he was gonna do some taijutsu training in a few days. “Sure! Free ramen to fight, I’m totally down.” He giggled. He was gonna get some grub easy! Although, he wasn’t that good at taijutsu, who cares! FREE FOOD! The food at the orphanage was never all too good, so some real world yummy stuff was gonna be a blessing. Joku jumped up and yawned. That workout was tiring. “Oh, I am Joku b-t-dubs. I’ll cya later Xen-Xen.” Joku would hold his hands into a seal, using the Teleportation Jutsu to travel at an useable speed to leave the area. A small whim of smoke was left in his place. [🌧]
