Yesterday had left him more tired than he liked to admit. Kei begrudgingly got out of bed and joined Maiku for a heavy breakfast. The boy’s chest and right arm were wrapped in bandages after yesterday’s spar, something he really didn’t think he need but Maiku insisted and Kei didn’t care for arguing.

Maiku, while grinning with a mouthful of oatmeal: “Hmpf. That’s what you get for being a damn Shinobi.”

Kei, after neatly sipping his tea: ”Wasn’t it you who broke his arm twice last year. Oh, and your toe?”

The boy grinned for a moment and then returned to eating his breakfast quietly. Maiku tried to get some kind of conversation going by throwing a few more insults around but gave up rather quickly as he had to go out and work at the masonry.

As Kei got up from the table, his right leg also revealed itself to be covered in bandages, though most of his leg was covered by his black shinobi pants as normal. Before heading out he stepped into his shinobi boots, checked his pockets for all of his tools, re-stocked what he needed to, and pulled on his black t-shirt. There wasn’t really anything going through his mind other doing what he always did, before going out to train, as he always did. There was a certain sense of melancholy about it all, as the boy hung his head and sighed while grabbing the door-handle. Only twelve years old, and yet so bitter, he but shrugged off the rising nausea and stepped outside to a breath of fresh air.

The open air proved a welcoming change to his body that began to cool down. After another sigh he pocketed his bandaged hands and walked off to the training grounds, spotting a girl he had never met before. Being only 5’2”, Kei was shorter than her but carried himself with a sense of maturity that mostly stemmed from his indifference to the world. He didn’t greet her, only glared at her for a second, and then stepped onto the stone plateau designed for training exercises; with 4 rock-pillars surrounding the 10 square yard field.
