[[Sorreh it sucks so bad... Braindead from hyperactive small children.]]
The flat, toughened soles of the girl’s slippers pounded roughly against the tree branches, the greenery whizzing past and making her peripheral vision lose all distinction. In her right fist, she held four senban, again and again hurling them at unmarked targets –usually to miss– in an attempt to improve her accuracy. A sweat was beginning to break out on the pale girl’s upper lip, though she quickly swiped it away with the back of her hand.
A bell like laugh broke through the autumn stillness of the forest, and the sun seemed to land just right on the brunette’s face as her smile broke like a wave across her face. ‘Silly, you have to flick your wrist like this to get it right!’
Miharu jerked back to reality, grinding her teeth as her throat swelled painfully. Whatever. Who cares anyway? was the only excuse that her mind could produce. “Ah, shit!” The girl inhaled sharply as she realized that her fist had tightened, making the needles pierce her skin. Coarsely, she yanked them out, running her tongue over the bleeding holes. “Shit, shit, shit…” she murmured, taking up the senban in her left hand to practice while her right hung loosely at her side, the leaves occasionally brushing at it as she miscalculated a jump- she was just off center today.
It was the first time in a long, long while that she’d left the Star Village, and the feeling made her uncomfortable, though it released her from social ties at the same time. The people, oh no, she wouldn’t miss them, but the hills and trees- Oh yes, those she would miss sorely. As the Leaf Village fast approached, she grimly wondered why she had volunteered to be the good-will shinobi to serve in the other village for a while. Apparently, in an effort to build trust and support for the Star Village, the Hoshikage had been sending out other ninja as well to the other hidden villages, big or small. Regardless, he’d chosen her to represent the Star shinobi to the Hokage, Lady Tsunade.
Perhaps things would be interesting around there- The forest around it was certainly nice, if the people totally failed to please. Some good will ambassador you are, she let out a short laugh, realizing how poor she was at this job with her cynical nature. Oh well- Perhaps people around here will shake it out of me. As if.
Miharu shrugged and continued, a mirthful grin playing along her features as her sharp violet eyes quickly spotted the white walls of the Hidden Leaf Village.
With another leap, Miharu landed on the white, packed walls of the villlage, then a nearby roof top. She didn't exactly like being exposed like this, but down on the streets she wouldn't be able to see where she was supposed to be going. With another grimace at how badly she stuck out, she began to proceed, quickly making her way to the building, far on the other side of town, that matched the description that the Hoshikage had given her of the Hokage's office. After another few minutes where she observed the daily life of the villagers, noting who she took to be different clan members and other shinobi, she landed lightly on the hard packed dirt in front of the building that she thought to be the Hokage's office. With a quick glance around, she found that the only entrance to the upper floor where she had been told Tsunade-sama's office was was a staircase, which she promptly took, avoiding the railing because of the heat that the sun had imbued it with. Miharu was quite relieved as she went inside, feeling the cool burst of air upon her face, though the dilemma of which way the Hokage's office was soon pressed upon her. Biting her lip, she looked around for a moment, and upon not seeing anyone who could direct her, she took the right hallway, tentatively making her way down it in hopes that she wasn't doing something wrong. Quickly, however, she was happy to find that a door on the right side of the hallway had the Hokage's name inscribed on it, and, for lack of any other things to do, Miharu knocked gently.
