"Eh, it's Masako," Takeo sighed. "The whole thing is pretty complicated, but things like making sense don't necessarily bother her when it comes to disliking people. As for Hanae-kun, well, Masako complains about her often enough, so I actually know a little something about that. "It seems she misses class on a pretty regular basis," he explained, trying as he spoke to remember everything Masako had mentioned. "Seems she gets sick pretty often, but sometimes it's training accidents at home. But she's pretty much always at the top of the class anyways, which is why Masako's always so upset when it comes to her. She's nice enough, as far as I know anyways, but apparently she spends so much time training and studying that she doesn't hang out with her classmates that much. So Masako thinks she's a stuck-up snob or something. I just think if she misses that much class, then of course she'd have to work harder. "But that's that for you. Everything I know about why Masako doesn't like Hanae-kun. It doesn't make sense, but then... like I said, with my sister, that doesn't really matter."

"I see.." Honestly, that was rather worrying. Hanae-san didn't seem nearly as accident-prone as himself. He hoped she was okay. "That is...not a good way to go about things...I hope Masako-chan grows out of it.."

"You and me both," Takeo sighed. "The sad thing is, I used to take the bait when she provoked me. We'd fight all the time.... We used to be pretty close, t, before that, but whatever reason caused her to behave this way, it's like we were both completely different people once the fighting started. It's like our entire house became poisonous. Just being in there was enough to draw out the worst in both of us. "It took me a while to realize how unhealthy all that negativity really was, but when I did, I made a choice. Things are a little better now, and Masako doesn't provoke me as much since she started realizing I won't take her bait anymore, but... I don't think it'll really end until Masako reaches the same conclusion I did. And the sad thing is, I can tell her all I want, but it's something she has to learn for herself."

Utsuro nodded sadly, listening to the explanation. "I shall..hope for the best for you, Takeo-sama. You are...a good friend...and I can only assume...a good brother. She will see that, in time, I think."

"I hope so," Takeo agreed with a nod. "So! How's the Academy looking? Think you guys're gonna get out of the tents anytime soon?"

"Ah..I think so, yes." Utsuro smiled softly at the thought. "I finished my paperwork finally...early last week. I am waiting to hear whether or not it has been approved." "Sorry for not telling you sooner...I did not want to interrupt your work for something so trivial."

"Oh, please. The only work I do is ferrying papers around or whatever leftover work they need for the day. I don't even have time to help out with the reconstruction, usually, so it's hard to say I'm doing anything particularly useful." That just brought back the sting of Masako's insults, though, so he quickly changed the subject. "What about you, Aya-chan? Didn't that Artist-san from earlier say you should look into the academy too?" "Ehh? Me!?" Ayaka gasped, surprised to find herself being addressed yet again. "Ah.. that is, well... I... don't really know..."

"Ah, yes, Hitsuatsu-san did say you had really good reflexes, Ayaka-san." Utsuro nodded in commiseration, thinking back to that day. "No offense to this establishment, of course, but becoming a shinobi would definitely assure you had no financial troubles....though.. "It is not something that should be considered lightly. You are far more likely to run into bears as a ninja." Not to mention, it would be a very welcome relief to have someone he knew there with him..

"This... is true," Ayaka agreed about the bears, "although... ninjas don't really have to worry about bears, right? I mean... ninjas are stronger than bears, aren't they? Or did you mean the other kind of bears...? "But... I'm not like you guys," she sighed. "You've been a ninja for years, Takeo-kun, and Tsutomegi, you've had training and you had to survive alone for this long. I don't know the first thing about how to be a ninja, but we're all the same age."

"I have not had much training..I am really rather terrible.." Utsuro replied with an embarrassed smile and laugh, scrubbing the back of his head before wincing from the bump. "And most of my survival was...because of him. But you.....you are really amazing Ayaka-san. If you really wanted to do it....for yourself..not just because someone else said you should... "I believe you can do it."

"Ehh!?" Ayaka gasped, going wide-eyed and waving her hands in front of her in denial. "No, no, I'm nothing like that! I'm just a stray who ran away to a ninja village, really. There's... nothing amazing about that..." ... but where had he gotten the idea in the first place!?

He blinked. "You had the courage and determination to leave behind a life you were not happy with and find yourself a better one. And you did it because you wanted to, not because you had to, like me." Utsuro took a sip of his water before stating in a very matter-of-fact fashion. "That is pretty amazing to me."

"Yeah, yeah!" Takeo-kun agreed. "Not everyone can do that kinda stuff, y'know? Besides, if it's training you're worried about, you can always ask for extra practice and stuff. And I'll be happy to teach you a thing or two!" he added with an enthusiastic thumbs-up. "So don't worry about that part of it, okay? If it's something you want to do, you should do it!""...Ah... nn," was the only reply Ayaka was able to give, accompanying her "words" with a hesitant nod. After a moment, though, she was finally able to continue. "I guess... I could think about it a little more..."

"That is all we are suggesting. Whatever you decide, though, we are behind you one hundred percent, Ayaka-san. Right, Takeo-sama?" Utsuro asked rhetorically, looking to the other boy. Man, you must've really rattled your brain..

"Right!" Takeo-kun agreed with another grin. "Whatever you wanna do, Aya-chan, then you go for it!""Thanks, you two," Ayaka said with a shy smile, idly tugging at a bit of hair. "You guys really are good friends. But.... what if I don't know what I want? How do I decide then?"
