"Let's get to walking before we get roped into helping unload the caravan," Nii-chan suggested, grinning. "Are you trying to skip out on your job, Nii-chan?" Hanae asked jokingly, grinning back. Not even giving him a chance to reply, she continued. "Well, I guess it's okay if you're doing it to see me," she decided with a mischievous wink. "How about that restaurant, Kiku? It's a little more private than some of the more popular places, so we'll have a better chance to talk."

"Kiku sounds great! They have awesome soba there," he said, smiling happily. "Let's go."____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seated comfortably in a booth in Kiku, Masato looked again at his younger sister, amazed again at how much older and more mature she looked. While she still looked shy and innocent, there was a newfound confidence in her eyes. He wondered to himself if the same thing had happened to him when he was given his hitai-ate. He reconsidered, remembering that he had been involved in a combat situation before he was even a genin, helping teams of higher level shinobi evacuate the city during the attack on the leaf. Shrugging thoughts of the past aside, he asked Hanae, "So... spill it. I want to know everything. How was the academy? Who are your teammates? How is your life?!"

"Well," she began, "life the Academy was good, at least for having taken place in the middle of the war. We'd constantly be switching teachers because one of the other was called out to fight, but we did have a few who stayed through the whole thing. I overheard a couple of them saying they wanted to make sure something at the Academy was constant, especially with the fighting getting so close. I guess that makes sense. Anyways, I had alot of fun. Taijutsu class was really strange, because what they teach in the Academy is so different from Jyuuken, and it ended up confusing me." A stubborn frown showed what Hanae thought of that. "But I got good grades anyways," she hurried to explain. "I wasn't at the very top of the class, but I wasn't at the bottom either. I got in trouble once, though, for throwing a paper shuriken at some bullies who were picking on a younger boy during recess.... after that I kept to myself more. "The scariest was when we all had to evacuate into that big dark room in the Hokage monument," she continued. "We kept hearing all these awful sounds and people screaming, and it was dark and..." the Genin shivered, tried her best to smooth her features, and went on. "And when we came out, everything was already over. I guess they wanted to get as many shinobi doing missions as possible, because they re-opened the Academy almost immediately and held our graduation right away. "I graduated on my first try, and it was only a couple days until I was assigned to a team. My teammates are Yanagawa Mitsuko - she graduated with me - and Hyouri Fuyu - he's a little older than Mitsuko-chan and I, but that's okay - and our Sensei is a kunoichi named Adabana Miyoko. Miyoko-sensei is a little crazy, but I love my team. We're all friends already!" The light on her face increased as she spoke, getting more and more excited just thinking about her teammates. "We work really well together, and Miyoko-sensei is teaching us all kinds of cool stuff. Fuyu-kun has some really great Earth jutsu, and Mitsuko-chan even created her own jutsu when she was in the Academy! Isn't that amazing?"

"The scariest was when we all had to evacuate into that big dark room in the Hokage monument," she continued. "We kept hearing all these awful sounds and people screaming, and it was dark and..."Masato almost broke down, hearing his sister so evidentally distressed. Instead he merely reached out and held her hand. "I'm so sorry, Hanae-chan. I was trying to find you, I wanted to be there with you, but I got ordered to help evacuate the civilians and younger Academy students. The Byakugan really helped in a couple spots, but I still wish I could have been there." He listened as she talked about the academy, smiling as she talked excitedly about her teammates and her sensei. "That does sound awesome! And you have Miyoko-sama as your sensei?! Incredible! Now how about you? What kind of jutsu have you been working on?" he asked, with a smile.

"Wait, what?" Hanae asked, forgetting the question about her own jutsu in her confusion. "How do you know Miyoko-sensei?"

"Hehe, Hanae... I don't know Miyoko-sama... But you have to remember, we're both... no we're all shinobi in the service of the Leaf village... You'll grow to know, and know of, lots of different people that way."

"Ohhh...." Hanae marveled. "I see.... Since I just became a Genin, I still have alot to learn, I guess..."

"Well, what kind of stuff would you like to learn? I guess what I'm asking is... If we can work it out... Do you want to work together on the Jyuuken? I've learned some interesting things about it while trying to work around my... problems with it... and maybe you have a thing or two to teach your 'nii-chan, eh?"

"Me?" Hanae asked. "Teach you, Nii-chan?" The petite Hyuuga couldn't help but giggle. "I doubt it!" It wasn't until then that the reality of what Nii-chan was suggesting actually hit her. "Wait a minute...." she said slowly, trying to wrap her mind around it. "You're actually suggesting....?"

"Yeah, that's exactly what I'm suggesting! Whaddya think? I bet Uncle Shou could help us do it without father ever getting wind of it!"

All propriety forgotten, Hanae launched herself across the table with a squeal of delight, landing next to her brother and wrapping him in a tight hug. "That would be great! Well," she added more seriously, "as long as you're sure Father won't find out...."

Masato hugged Hanae back tightly. It felt quite good to actually be able to express his affection for his younger sister for the first time in months. He hadn't realized how much being separated from her had been affecting her until he felt a single tear roll down his face. He hadn't cried since... Since Aunt Mana had disappeared. Pushing those thoughts aside, he responded, "I'm sure. No doubt about! When would be the best time to do it? I'm basically free for the next day or two, Kaori-sama only gave us about that much time off before we have to get back to work."

"We should probably do it pretty soon," Hanae suggested. "I think Miyoko-sensei is planning to do something with us within the next couple of days, and there are missions and things...."

Nodding, Masato pondered for a moment. Pulling enough money to cover the bill and leave a generous tip out, he slapped his hand palm down on the table. "Alright! We'll do it right now! Whaddya think, sis? You up for it?" he asked, raising one eyebrow in challenge.

"Are... are you sure?" Hanae asked, feeling the excitement build already. "Is that okay?"
