Boring. Boring, boring, boring.
How terribly dull it all was, being back in Hi no Kuni, the Land of Fire. It had been about a full day since setting foot across the border, returning from the Kaze no Kuni, and already, Mikage had lost sight of why she had been so greatly anticipated her return home. The Land of Wind had one major problem that the young kunoichi had discovered upon setting foot on the most common terrain in the land - the sand. It would take a rather unintelligent person to not be able to register that the Land of the Wind, where the Village Hidden in the Sand stood, was primarily a large desert, but clearly, Mikage didn't think things through when she had spontaneously decided that she wanted to travel there. Everything about the sand was an annoyance, the way it absorbed the heat in the day, burning the soles of her feet, the way it gave off a sizzling, sweaty smell, and - most importantly - the way it clogged up the bells on her anklet, getting in the way of her clan ability. Home. She should be glad that she was home, given what she had to put up with in Kaze no Kuni.
Though home was a rather ambiguous term in her situation; to someone living within the walls of Konohagakure, she was a stranger in their lands, as it was generally thought that the lands revolved around their main village. It was quite burdensome to be always treated like an outsider in the land she had been born in, but not all that surprising, considering the fact that she lacked any form of identification that would mark her as a kunoichi of Konoha - namely, the headband. A silly thing, really, to have to wear something that so obviously stated who you were allied with. Glances of curiosity were cast her way, nothing out of the ordinary, but the fourteen year old girl, dressed in a light white dress, always seemed to attract some amount of attention. Though she looked young, she didn't appear young enough to still be playing with dolls, yet a rabbit plushie was hugged against her body with one arm as Mikage walked through the streets of Konohagakure. Walked wasn't the correct term. Skipped, more like, as she pranced lightly through the crowds, weaving in and out in her haste to find something interesting to do.
That in itself was a difficult task. It was hard to find something interesting enough to keep her attention for longer than a handful of seconds. Maybe she should go to the training grounds and find someone to play with. Or go taunt her mother by announcing her presence, then disappear again. "Neh ~ Onee-chan, what do you think we should do? Should we go visit mommy, or do something else?" She whispered to the rabbit, drawing more curious gazes her way as people realized she was talking to the plushie and referring to it as 'sister'. But while Mikage was entirely aware that there was extra attention on her, she didn't react, used to it and secretly loving the amount of attention she was getting. A weird girl she was, but attention was attention, and the more that was on her, the better she felt.
It felt good to be the one that was noticed.
Now, if only she could find something to do. Deciding that she would go with the plan of seeking out people to 'play' with, she wandered towards the small training grounds behind the Academy, intent on finding perhaps someone to train with, or even converse with.
