Her head shook thinking about what had happened to cause her hair to be shorter. Her words were interrupted with the howl of both human and canine as they came towards them. Turning her head, a bright smile crossed her lips and she knelt with her arms out to the pup that was running her way. Wrapping her arms around the pup, she nuzzled into the side of his neck a bit and kissed the side of his head. “Good morning to you too, Hoshi. You act as if you missed me in the short amount of time we’ve been apart.” Her voice holding a soft laughter to it while her fingers scratched over the back of his neck lightly. Her eyes then looking to his Master as the two of them had their argument. It caused a gentle blush to come over her face as she held the pup closer to her. Her lips continued to smile with the question of ‘Ya bring us anything awesome today?’ “Of course I did. But we train first, then we’ll have food.” She turned to look to the new girl and continued to speak with him. “You know, if you actually came to the compound in the morning, I’d make you breakfast before training. Then you’d be able to have more than just lunch with me.” Perhaps it was a round-about way to see him more, but if he forgot, she knew that Hoshi would remind him.

Her eyes then fell upon the new girl and she smiled brightly. She’d heard that they would be getting a new member of the team and her eyes looked over the girl with excitement. She was very quiet and silently, Hitomi studied the girl. “Good Morning!” She said in her cheerful way. She looked forward to getting to know the girl and was excited.

She smiled and held Hoshi closer to her as she felt her cheeks flush more hearing about the team day for them all to have her cooking. But then was thankful for the change of subject. Then once she saw her sensei turn her back to them and speak to keep up, she placed Hoshi on the ground and took off after her. She’d been working really hard and pushing herself to be faster. Ever since she had been left behind when her brother had received his contract, she’d worked hard on her speed. There was no way she was going to ever be left behind again. Her goals had been simple for herself. She would stop being that little girl that was needing everyone else to save her. The words of her brother ringing through her head as she pushed herself. ‘you’re disgracing the House.’

Hearing the lesson, she gave a nod taking out one of her kunai. The expelling of chakra in a steady flow had been something that she was good at. Having worked very hard on it so she could protect herself in the rotating heaven, she knew that the part that she really had to work on was not so much the chakra, but rather her fear of falling back down to the ground.

Letting a small amount of chakra form at the bottom of her feet, she looked to the tree and backed up a bit to get a running start. Her focus being on the chakra, she ran towards the tree and jumped up on to the trunk. Shocked that she actually did it, she only made it up a few feet before she had stopped. Her eyes widened and she quickly stabbed the tree with her kunai before she jumped down. Her eyes looked to the tree and to the kunai that was only about a foot higher then she was tall on the trunk of the tree. With a sigh and pressing her lips to the side a bit, she once more gathered chakra at the bottom of her feet and backed up a bit. This time, she ran steadily at the tree and jumped up on the trunk. Pushing herself to keep going, she ended up going up two more feet higher than the last time and grabbed the kunai on her way past only to jab it into the trunk of the tree when she had come to a stop. She jumped in to a branch and then climbed down to the ground below her instead of trying to jump down.
