I grabbed my swords off my back and placed them in front of me. I slid my hand over the engraved words. People had always asked what they said, since it was Gaelic:an old Irish language that no one knew. I would never answer, I couldn't.The memories were too much for me too stand. Some of it was loving and caring sentences,others hurtful and angry.I sighed and put them on my back again. "Break time's over." I mumbled. I had been training for 4 and a half hours now.I had forgot to eat this morning and I felt as though I was going to pass out any minute now.*Gotta keep going.I can eat later. I have to keep training for now.* I thought.Then my stomach growled.*No! I'm not giving in!* It growled again. *Fine! I'll eat!*Then picking up my things I left the training grounds. Then realizing it, I mentally slapped myself for arguing with my stomach. I had better sense than that. I walked around the Leaf village and stopped at a ramen bar. Ordered something and looked up at the sky.I figured it was around 11am.I had started training at around 6 this morning.Once the food came and I started eating while watching the people walk by.Many were staring at me. *What, they've never seen a ninja before?!Geez, look away people!* I thought. I looked down at my clothes and realized they were covered in dirt and mud from training. My hair was a mess and my pants a big tear in it. I always trained with myself like I was in a real fight, therefore coming out like in a real fight. They were still looking at you. You rolled your eyes.This was getting annoying. You were done eating but just sat there, trying to figure out what to do now.You didn't need to train anymore, though you wanted to.But there was no point.You didn't want to go back to your appartment. It would be just as bad there. "I wish my friends were here." I sighed. "I haven't seen them in a while." I felt lonely again. I always did when I was by myself. I walked over to some tree and just sat in it. I pulled my knes up to my chest and lay my head on top. Just waiting and wanting for someone to come and talk to me.Evey person that passed by, I was just hoping it was someone I new, someone I could talk to.

Miki skipped out of the hospital with a bright smile on her face. She'd just had her umpteenth check up and the doctor proclaimed that she was healthy enough to go outside for awhile. This had made the young medical ninja quite happy; literally making her whole day much better. As she walked around, she caught sight of a girl sitting under a tree. Miki paused as she took in her appearance; she looked like she'd just gotten into a huge fight!
Worried, Miki ran up to the girl and shouted, "Ohmigosh are you okay?? We need to get you to a hospital! Who did this to you?!"

I quickly looked up to see Miki standing in front of me.A worried expression on her face.I know her but I don't think she knows me too well.
"Wha-?"I looked down at my clothes. "Oh! Yeah, I'm fine thanks. I was just...training.Kinda over did it.So, no need to go to the hospital.It looks worse than it is." I said ashamed at my messy apperance.Miki had always seemed like a nice girl but I never really knew her. Mabe, just mabe I could get a new friend.

Miki scrunched her eyebrows together. The girl in front of her looked familiar, but she couldn't quite place her name. Well, at least she wasn't really badly hurt; from her appearance it almost looked like she was attacked by ravaging bears. Relief spread over Miki's countenance after hearing what the familiar girl had to say before she dragged her off to the hospital.
Not knowing what to say, Miki said, "Hello! My name's Miki Yamato! Who are you?" She smiled wide as she plopped down next to the girl under the tree.

This is what Katie Akahamre posted:
She smiled and I smiled back, but mine not reaching my eyes as hers did.
"I'm Katie Akahamre. And I think we might have met before but I'm not sure...." I lied. We had met a while ago, a long while ago but we had met.And I knew she didn't seem to remember so we just might as well start all over. There was no harm in that, right?

Katie... Katie... Katie... Miki thought as she questioned herself if the name sounded familiar. Was it familiar? She wasn't sure; after all the treatments the doctors had tried on her, she's lucky to remember her name. Miki peered at the smiling girl in front of her with her brows scrunched again. Finally, after a few seconds of doing nothing, she stood up and looked down at Katie.
"We should do something!" Miki proclaimed with a grin. "It's kinda boring just sitting down; I do it almost every day. Let's do something fun!"

I looked up at her still smiling.I didn't have anything that I needed to do today so I just nodded.
"Sure.Um...what exactly should we do?" I asked. I honestly had no idea what she had in mind. *I just hope its something fun.I haven't done anything too fun in a while* I thought to myself as I stood up next to her.

Miki looked up at the sky, not knowing what exactly she wanted to do. Sparring was definitely out of the question, and that wasn't too fun for Miki anyway. There was nothing fun at the hospital either. She unconsciously began walking away from the gigantic tree they had been laying on. She stared around at everything trying to find something to do.
Suddenly, something caught Miki's eye. She spun around and spotted a kitten licking it's paw only a few feet away. Unable to contain herself, she yelled, "KITTY!" and dived for the unsuspecting cat. However, the cat was too quick for her and she ended up landing on her face with the kitten running far from her.

I watched as Miki dived after a kitten and land face first on the ground.My eyes went wide. I got up and was over there in 2 seconds. I picked her up and helped brush the dirt off her clothes.
"Oh no! Are you okay? That had to hurt." I wanted to ask if the cat was that important but I didn't want any chance of ruining a new friendship. So I held my tounge.*How old is this girl anyway?* I asked myself. *Mental note: At better time, ask for age.* I added to my mental conversation.

Miki was pouting when she was lifted from the dirt. Sure, it was just a cat but she always wanted to have one since she was little. Now, she wasn't so sure.
"That stupid kitty tricked me!" Miki yelled, sticking her tongue out in the direction the cat had gone running off. "And I'm okay, but Chicho-san wouldn't be very happy once she hears what happened to me today." She started laughing, knowing that her caretaker wasn't going to be pleased when Miki tells her the first time in weeks that she was finally outside, she gets hurt. But oh well, she can't avoid this stuff all her life.
Miki peered at the swing set in front of the Academy and once again, she was off running.

As soon as Miki was done laughing at her statement, not bothering to tell me she was okay, she ran off towards that swing in front of the acadamy.
"Okay. I have a feeling I'm going to have to control her a bit..." I said to myself. I ran off after her. She sat on the swing and started to..well, swing. I laughed a bit but decided to watch her have fun. And boy was she having it! She had a smile on that looked like it would hurt her cheeks.She was laughing and saying "Wwwweeee!" every so often.
"So, I'm guessing that you just might be okay." I said over her laughter.

Mikki looked at Katie as she swung as high as the swing would allow. "Yup!" she shouted with a grin and continued swinging. She felt bad though because Katie wasn't able to swing too so when she reached the peak height that the swing would allow, she jumped off and went flying; landing on all fours like she'd seen Kiba do.
"Your turn!" Miki smiled, offering her new friend a chance to swing.

Miki jumped off and offered me a turn. I hadn't been on a swing in a while and I couldn't wait to get back on!
I Jumped on and started swinging, reaching the highest point the swing would allow in mere seconds. I was so happy to be acting like a little kid again. I smiled and laughed just as much as Miki had. I swung for what seemed like forever but was only a few minutes. I figured it was Miki's turn so I jumped off as she did. I landed on just my legs, knees bent a bit.
"Okay! Wow that was really fun! Your turn. Unless you want to find something else to do?" I asked. I wanted to keep swining but I also wanted to see what else she had in store for today. Even if it wasn't exactly planned...like everything else.

Miki thought a moment; her pointer was on the side of her lips and she was staring upward. Swinging was definitely a lot of fun, but I'm sure there are a billion fun things to do in the village that you had to go looking for. Miki stood up and walked over to the tree. She climbed up it and used the height gained from that to jump on top of the Academy. Then, she jumped from rooftop to rooftop looking for something to do.
"Lesse!" Miki paused mid-air as she looked down to see a fountain. Then, she crash-landed on the roof she'd been heading for. Quickly getting up, she asked Katie, "Hey, does Konoha have any pools? Or lakes? of rivers? Or anything to swim in?"

I was following Miki when she crashed...again. She got up and asked if there were any pools or lakes and rivers.I thought for a moment.
"Um...yeah there is. I haven't been to any of them though. So I'm not exactly sure where they're at, sorry. Why do ask?" I knew she was going to say swimming or something. It was sad, I knew how to swim I just hadn't been swimming in years and honestly had no idea where a good body of water was. I really needed to get out more.
*I wonder where the river or lake or whatever actually is.I can't believe I don't know my own village well enough.* I thought to myself.
