((OoC: I hope it's okay if I poke things along a little bit, since there's only so much we can do while walking along... if it's not okay, just say the word and I'll edit. ^^))
The breeze when they stepped out onto the roof of the Academy building tossed Hanae's long black hair all over the place, including all in her face. Hanae didn't mind, though, and laughed playfully as she tried to get it back under control.
"It's so pretty up here!" she exclaimed happily, struggling to keep the last few strands of hair out of her face. "Oh, look!" she gasped as soon as she could see. "The view is incredible! We can see so much from way up here!"

((OoC: I was hoping somebody would do that)) Haruko looked up at the sky and said “When this old world starts a getting me down And people are just too much for me to face, Ill climb way up to the top of the stairs And all my cares just drift right into space, On the roof, its peaceful as can be And here the world below dont bother me” ((OoC: sorry, I couldn't resist ^^ )

Mitsuko sighed as she stepped onto the roof. She stood quietly next to her companions, taking in the beautiful view.
"I'm going to have to start coming up here more often," she said, sheilding her eyes from her whipping bangs. "This view is absolutely amazing!"
She stood there for a few moments more before finally sitting down and opening her bento. She sure was hungry!

Haruko sat down and opened her box getting out, one simple sandwich, two cans of soda, two Kushidangos, three Ichigo Daifuku, and five Shu Cream Haruko looked at Mitsuko “Mitsuko-chan you never asked me why I want to be a ninja” (( I have the recipes if you want))

"Itadakimasu!" chimed Hanae, opening her lacquered bento box and retrieving her chopsticks. Her own lunch was typical of what the heiress of a large clan would be served - well-made and very traditional. She may have liked the thing her classmates ate, but this was good too.
"Why do you want to be a ninja, Haruko-chan?" she asked curiously, right before idly taking a bite of her lunch.

Haruko closed her eyes leaned back and felt the wind tossed her hair “a promise“

"A promise?" Hanae asked, completely forgetting her manners and speaking with her mouth full. "What kind of promise? That is.... unless you'd rather not say...."

Haruko opened her eyes and stared at the sky “my sister…… my sister is alive, and I need to find her and the only way I can do that is to be a ninja, that's…what the 9th said……and I promised to find her”

"Wow," Hanae breathed, finally swallowing her food before speaking this time. "That's amazing. You can definitely do it, Haruko-chan!" she cheered. "I know you'll find her one day!"

Hanae paused, setting her lunchbox in her lap as she thought. It was a moment before she spoke, gazing off into the blue sky. "It's kind of hard to put into words," she explained, "but I'll try.
"I don't know if you guys know or not, but I'm the heiress of the Hyuuga Clan. Ever since I can remember, I've been raised to uphold the name and honor of the Hyuuga, as is my duty - and, as Father tells me, my privilege. That's why I was trained since I was a little girl, and that's why I was enrolled into the Ninja Academy."
She paused again, pulling her legs close to her and wrapping her arms around her knees. When she spoke again, it was with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"But that's not why I want to be a ninja. At least, it isn't anymore. When I was little, and I didn't know any better, I went along with my family's expectations, and all I wanted to do was bring honor to my Father and to my Clan. But now, even though those things are important to me, there's something more. The more I learn about Konoha and the people here, the more I love this Village. This is my home, and the people here are my family. I want to protect them. But also..." She sighed, shifting her gaze to the ground in front of her.
"All people see when they look at me is the future leader of the Hyuuga. And they treat me as such. They don't... they don't see me, you know? Hanae. Not Hanae-sama, or Young Mistress, but just plain Hanae. If I become a Shinobi with my own strength, and show them who I really am, maybe they'll start to see me as a person instead of a title or a position. That's what I really want.
"Also...." she thought for a moment, trying to decide whether to continue, before raising her gaze to meet her friends' eyes. "There's someone very dear to me who had to go away when I was little. I'm not allowed to see him, even now, and I want to know why. If I can, I want to see him again, and maybe he'll even get to come back one day - if he even wants to, that is."
She cut off, suddenly realizing how much she'd spoken. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed with a nervous laugh. "I didn't mean to talk so much!"

“But now, even though those things are important to me, there's something more. The more I learn about Konoha and the people here, the more I love this Village. This is my home, and the people here are my family. I want to protect them.”
My sister “Haruko-chan that one day you'll have something to protect”
Mitsuko-chan "B-because...It's always been my dream..." she paused, lowering her head and tightly shutting her eyes as the tears began to build. "I want so badly to prove that I'm not worthless...and that I can fight. Not only that, but Konoha is my home...I want to protect it."
All people see when they look at me is the future leader of the Hyuuga. And they treat me as such. They don't... they don't see me, you know? Hanae. Not Hanae-sama, or Young Mistress, but just plain Hanae. If I become a Shinobi with my own strength, and show them who I really am, maybe they'll start to see me as a person instead of a title or a position. That's what I really want.
Everybody who pokes fun at me “nice job stray dog”
The 9th “Haruko-chan no matter what anybody else says you are a part of Konoha”
Haruko looked down “maybe I'm wrong, but…no matter what the Hyuuga Clan says it’s your life, if they don't like it…..well that’s their problem, but if it means anything you’re not Hyuuga-sama you are just Hanae to me”
She then started to eat with amazing speed, it would take a well-trained ninja to disappear the way her food did, it didn't stand a chance.
Haruko leaned against the railing sipping her second can of soda “you know…were all alike in one way or another ”

Hanae nodded her agreement. "I think alot of people have more in common than they may think." It was sad, she thought, how many people never opened up to anyone because they thought they were all alone - when in fact, there were other people out there who shared their same struggles and burdens.... ((OoC: Sorry, it's not much, but my creativity's kind of run dry on this thread.))

Mitsuko sat quiety next to her classmates, nibbling away at her lunch, listening to them talk about their hopes and dreams. She almost didn't want to say anything. She was happy just to be around people that weren't going to criticize her or put her down. That's all she really wanted. Looking out over the village, she sighed. Finally, she was beginning to feel accepted.
OoC: I'm with Kaori. My creativity in this thread has kinda been drained.
