The morning sun had reached over the mountain and began to shine down upon the village of the Hidden Leaf. The birds chirped and began flying from their nests into the air looking for their morning meals. Yet this was still too late in the day for the ‘Byakugan Princess.’ The pearl hued young woman had already been up and one round of training had already come and gone for her. Now she had gone home, showered and was now preparing a picnic lunch for her and her teammate and most trusted friend, Yuki Odotia. Her precious usagi, called such for her animal zodiac, the rabbit. A nice picnic lunch of beef and broccoli with cashews to go over rice was placed into containers then she packed some strawberries for a dessert. A nice lunch for the two of them that she paired up with some iced green tea with peach slices sitting in it giving it some extra flavor. Hitomi packed it all up and smiled some to herself as she then placed the picnic blanket over the top of it all to keep things all secured for her travel to the training grounds just outside the gate.

Her long, onyx hair was pulled back into a high ponytail at the top of her head as she made her movement’s with grace around the kitchen. No longer the shy and clumsy child that she had been that wore her brother's clothes, she now was a respectable young woman. She also felt the weight of responsibility falling upon her shoulders with her brother still not being heard from. It had been over a year and a half and he had not come home yet. Hearing her mother cry at night, she’d look across the way to her brother's room and sigh softly. Now she was being looked at for becoming the next in line for Clan Leader. There was more that she wanted to do in her life then lead the Clan. But it was something that was expected of a child of the Main house.

Putting her shinobi boots with the custom made running heel, she grabbed her basket of goodies and made her way to the training grounds. It was a walk that felt like she could do it on autopilot as she rounded the corner and walked through the gate. The walk down the road was peaceful and cool with a gentle breeze that just made the grass move slightly. She couldn’t have asked for a better day to continue to train with Yuki. Though she did worry about the young woman. With this new room mate of her’s, she seemed to have to be home to take care of him more then she was able to take care of herself. She didn’t exactly think that was right, but it was not her life and it was perhaps something that Yuki had wanted herself. Once she entered the training grounds area, she’d move over to a place that was grassy and near the water. Taking out the blanket, she shook it out and laid it upon the ground before she took her shoes off and kneeled on it. The basket being placed in the center of the blanket, she looked to the water and would wait silently as she took the time to meditate.
