Things were horrible at home. Neither Dad nor Uncle had time for Michiko. Dad was of course off at work for the ANBU, and Uncle had to go to a meeting. That had left Michiko home alone bored, with nothing to do. She didn't feel like reading or cleaning the house. She was asked to clean her room, but she didn't care. She used her closet for target practice anyway.
With a big sigh, and not feeling particularly interested in training either, having a rather large headache....she was starting to think of what could be soothing rather than causing herself more stress by being frustrated. What came to mind first was a hot cup of matcha tea. She loved when Uncle made that. She could make it too, but it just wasn't as good as Uncle's tea. Huffing, she decided to get dressed. Nothing too much. She just put on some shorts (because shorts are always comfy!), and a loose fitting robe style shirt, along with some sandals. She didn't bother putting on her usual socks that she wore whenever training or traveling. Why? Well, she gathered a towel as well and a bathing suit, and packed her favorite soap and a brush that looked like it went through hell and back. Just in case though....she tied on a belt and brought her tanto with her and snuck some kunai up her sleeves, typing them to her arms with easy to pull away sports tape.
"Here we go....ok....hot springs here I come!", Michiko said, and she left the house. She wasn't supposed to do that either, but to be honest, she could care less about the rules right now. She was going to be a woman soon, and she needed to find her own path in life, not be tied to stupid constraints. How was she going to become a great kunoichi by doing everything her Father ordered her to do? Sure she'd be...umm...obedient. Err..the word was actually loyal? Meh. Who cared anyways. She had a headache, and going out was better than slamming her head into the wall.
At the hot springs, the young Genin changed into her bathing attire behind some rocks, and would enter the steaming water, leaving her bundle of equipment nearby in case she should need to get it. She placed it behind some large rocks in the corner of the room she was in, staying somewhat close to it, as she sighed and allowed herself to relax, at least bodily. Mentally....that was another task. Her Father's piercing gaze wouldn't leave her head. She hated feeling like this. Huffing, she closed her eyes and she sank into the water. Feeling warm and comforted by the waters around her, she began to let go of her fears and worries, and thought of drifting on the wind. That part was easy at least, because the water made her feel rather weightless.
"If only I was a bird....maybe I'd fly away."
