It wasn't that she wasn't paying attention to what Fuyu-san was saying, or that she couldn't understand it. Everything her teammate said about the Hyouri clan entered the young Hyuuga's memory. But there was one phrase that kept ringing through her head. "I was one such male." Hanae blinked. Her face grew redder and redder with embarrassment as she realized what had just happened. Her mouth moved, but it took a moment before she could speak. "Y-y-y-y-y-y-ou're a b-b-boy?" she stammered? "And here I... I... I c-called you... n-nee-s-s-s-san...." Suddenly the petite shinobi let out a loud squeal of embarrassment, bowing so low that her long black hair completely obscured her reddened face. "I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed. "Please excuse me! I didn't realize... that is..." Meekly, she raised her head just enough to peek up at Fuyu-kun from underneath her bangs. "You're not mad, are you?"

Fuyu, not exactly realizing what Hanae meant at first, nearly fell off his bed when he realized. "Oh no Hanae-sama! It isn't your fault at all! " Fuyu in turned got down on his knee's, virtually koutouing to Hanae.
"Please forgive me... I did not mean to deceive you. It's just... sometimes, I even seem myself to forget that I am a boy." Realizing the humor of the situation, Fuyu couln't help buy laugh. This was the ultimate goal of his clan for male members, and yet they taught you to apologize for it. And the fact that poor Hanae-sama was so mortified over it.
Fuyu fell over laughing so hard, he didn't really know why he found it so funny, but he just couldn't stop laughing. "It okay... Hanae-sama. Really. Don't worry. About it." Fuyu wheezed out between laughs.

"I-... if you say so..." Hanae stammered, somewhat surprised at Fuyu-kun's reaction. Sighing, she gently rested her hand on her teammate's shoulder. "Please," she said to him, suddenly sounding quite serious. "Please get up." There was a note of frustrated sadness in her voice as she continued. "And... please don't call me Hanae-sama. I get enough of those things at home. Too much, if you ask me. I... don't want to be Hanae-sama to my friends, too."

Mitsuko couldn't help but laugh. She hadn't seen anyone so frazzled! "It's ok, Hanae-chan! I thought Fuyu-san was a girl, too!" Taking another sip of her lemonade, the little Yanagawa continued. "And don't worry! We won't call you -sama."

Fuyu sat himself upright, and wiped a tear from his eye. "I'm sorry Hanae... chan?" he said with a questioning tone to the last word. He gave Hanae a hug. "Thank you... that really means a lot to me. Truly."
Letting her go, he looked to his teammates. "So, how about you two? I don't really know much about either of you!" Looking to Hanae specifically, "and I apologize, but at least around my clan members, I'll have to call you sama."

"Well," Hanae replied, taking her seat once more, "if it's for your clan it's understandable. I mean, there's not much we can do about that. If I got up in front of the Hyuuga," she continued with a giggle, "and asked them to call me Hanae-sama... Well, I might as well pick up the entire Clan Estate with my own two hands and turn it upside down for all the who-knows-what it'd cause. And, well, I guess that'd bring me to your next quetsion."
Flipping her hair back over her shoulder, she took on a sort of explanatory tone. "Coming from the Hyuuga clan, I hail from the oldest surviving clan in Konoha. There are two parts of the Hyuuga Clan, the Main Family and the Branch Family. The Main Family consists of the clan leaders, while the Branch Family - or so I've always been taught - protect the Main Family and the Hyuuga Clan jutsu, which are among the most unique in Konoha.
"We use a doujutsu known as the Byakugan, which allows us to use a fighting style known as Jyuuken that targets the chakra circulatory system and the body's internal organs. It's really different from other fighting styles, which focus on external damage. The Byakugan also does other things as well, which I'll be able to show you when we train together." She paused to take a sip of her lemonade before she continued.
"My Father is the Head of the Hyuuga Clan," the petite Genin continued, "which makes me his heir. I wasn't always, though. I have an...." she paused, her voice catching. Even though she had no understanding of what had happened, it still made her sad to talk about it. "I have an older brother. His name is Masato, and he used to be the heir to our Father's position. I... I don't know why, but when I was still little, he had to leave the clan. That left me as the heir.
"I don't really understand what happened or why, but ever since he left I haven't been allowed to see or contact him. No one even mentions him around me, and I would get in trouble when I did, so I never got any answers.
"After Oniichan left," Hanae finished with a sigh, "I was taught more strictly and trained harder than I ever was before. I've been taught that I exist for the Hyuuga, to bring the Clan honor and prosperity as its leader. But recently I've begun to think that there's more to life than that. That I'm not just Hanae-sama, but that maybe, if I try, I can find my own identity, and be just plain Hanae. And, of course," she added with a smile, "Hanae-chan, to my friends!"

"I see," Fuyu said as he let everything Hanae said sink in. "Then we're not all that different when you look at it." Fuyu smiled slightly as he said this. "Well... hopefully we can help you accomplish that dream."
"What about you Mitsuko... chan?" Fuyu slowly spit out the last word, still feeling awkward about it.

Mitsuko felt the tingle of butterflies rise up in her stomach. She was both excited and nervous. Never in her life had she ever imagined that someone would ever want to know more about her.
“Um,” she began, taking a few more swigs of her lemonade as she took a seat on the floor, “Well... I'm a member of the Yanagawa Clan, as my name suggests. We're known best for our great lightning users, like my cousin Miyuki, who, as Miyoko-sensei said, is one of Konoha's many prominent shinobi.
“But there really isn't anything spectacular about me. I've been made fun of ever since my days in the Academy. Almost everyone except my family, the sensei, and a couple select classmates seemed to enjoy picking on me most... because I'm small, quiet, and different. I really just want to prove myself... prove to them that I'm not a weakling and that I'm just as capable of protecting my village as everyone else. One day, I hope to be able to be named one of those great Yanagawa... like my cousin and the many others before me... That is my dream.”
Sighing, she bowed her head and blinked away the tears that had formed in her eyes before looking back at her teammates. Smiling slightly, she spoke again. “That's all I can really think of to say... since I decided to spare you on my clan's history and traits. That can get a bit complicated to explain sometimes.” She laughed softly and sipped down the last bit of her lemonade.

"You can do it, Mitsuko-chan!" Hanae said encouragingly. "You're gonna do great!"
Suddenly, the young Hyuuga stood, raising her glass high in the air. "To us!" she declared. "To Miyoko-sensei, Hyouri Fuyu, Yanagawa Mitsuko, and Hyuuga Hanae. To all of us, and to our dreams! May we remain a strong team from now on, and our dreams become reality! Kanpai!"

Fuyu raised his glass as well. "Let's all of us, work together to accomplish our goals and make our dreams come true. By ourselves, we've struggled in the past, but I think that together, we'll shock Konoha with our strength!"

Mistuko nodded once, raising her glass up to join her teammates'. "Yes!" she chanted. "To teammork!"

"To teamwork, to dreams, and to friendship! Kanpai!" Hanae finished, draining her glass until it was empty. "Aaaah, that's good lemonade!" she finished, grinning.

"That was good lemonade! The best I've had in a while," Mitsuko said, licking the lingering tartness of the drink from her lips as she set her empty glass on the floor in front of her. She paused for a moment, thinking of what to say next. "So...um. I wonder what Miyoko-sensei is going to have us do? I'm both nervous and excited." Looking up at her two new teammates, she continued. "What about you guys?"

Hanae grinned. "I'm excited!" she announced with a giggle. "I love training, and having some new partners to train with will be alot of fun. But what do you think we'll do?" She paused in order to stare up at the ceiling, twirling a long strand of blue-black hair around her finger as she often did when thinking. "Since it's training, maybe she'll teach us some sort of new technique.... or maybe she'll have us show her what we know already. Or something like that," she added with a shrug. "What do you two think?"

"I think that it will most likely be a test of our skills. In order to see how well we'll perform as a team, she'll most likely want to test out our individual skills as Shinobi." Fuyu looked as his teammates, "but thats just my opinion. For all I know, she could take us out to dinner somewhere." Fuyu chuckled to himself.
