Yuki
D-rank
There was something about this particular day that seemed to be a tad bit off to Yuki and she couldn't quite figure it out. It was likely that she was having an odd dream, which caused her to kick her blankets off of the bed and work her way into some kind of odd position. She wasn't quite conscious yet, her sleep having not been nearly restful enough for her, but of course that didn't matter in the slightest when her oldest enemy came to taunt her in the morning. The nice new glass that was between the panes of Yuki's window which was so well taken care of. There was a lovely sheen to that glass as the sun's bright and warm rays made their way through the window, going up the bed and landing themselves on Yuki's face and eyes. She could feel Akai kicking at her and grunting, which was fine in itself, but when combined with what else was happening it led to her having a moment of crisis.
Yuki leaped from her bed, an angered look flashed across her face. If there was one thing that she couldn't tolerate it was being woken up before she was ready. Almost every morning, the sun would decide that it wanted to play games with her and wake her up before she was ready, tauntingly sitting in its position up in the sky. The young Inuzuka girl didn't care how high the smug sun though it sat upon its throne of malice and luminescence, she would remove it from the sky one day and stand over it triumphantly as the ultimate victor. She grabbed one of the many spears that made their homes around her abode, weighing it in her hand and looking at the target. She knew that her strength grew every day, and perhaps today would finally be the day that she would end that sunny bastard's reign of tyranny. She brought her arm back so that her hand was beside her ear, spear head pointed forward, took a step forward with her off foot and then with her other and bounced, moving her spear arm forward and releasing at the last possible second, using all of that momentum to drive that spear right into the heart of her adversary.
She wasn't entirely sure how it was that she always seemed to forget about the fact that glass brought down acceleration when a spear plunged through it. Much of the force of the throw was lost into the first contact with the glass, and it would ultimately lead to the spear not going nearly as far as it had to. She heard the oh too familiar shattering sound of another window, the glass shards falling to the ground, fortunately mostly outside, and the spear tapering off down towards the grass outside of her window as well. She sighed as Akai barked happily and ran around her feet, picking him up and kissing his forehead before scratching her partner between the ears. "I'm sorry Akai, I keep forgetting to open the window...Next time I'll get it though, and we won't have to worry about waking up too early!" She would grab her things, shower quickly, put on her every day clothing, strap a spear to her back, eat some breakfast quickly, and make her way over to the docks.
Her and Akai enjoyed the fresh air here, and all of the different smells and sights and sounds that really made this one of the best places in the village. People were milling about working to load and unload ships as other people directed them where to go. There were food vendors parked around making hot dogs and different things like that for the hungry dock workers when they needed a break. There were the seedier types who she knew tended to be around here as well, since shipping was generally a game that criminals seemed to enjoy. She knew that it was an unfortunate thing, and likely something should be done about it, but it wasn't something that a genin like her could really do much about. She knew that there were a lot more powerful shinobi in the village, and it tended to come down to being their jobs to deal with such things. She had heard that the seventeenth Hokage had briefly had crime wiped out in the village, which she supposed made sense after the revelation that he was a member of a criminal organization, though she didn't know if she believed that or not. He seemed like a good enough man.
She stood on one of the docks, overlooking the sea and bouncing excitedly as Akai sat beside her and waged his tail. She loved the sea and had dreams to one day take a trip out on the waters, exploring the world and seeing all the new sights and smelling all the new smells that she could. She knew that Akai would enjoy that too, and while the two of them might miss their pack while they were away, it would be worth it for the different experiences. She pulled out her spear and ran back towards one of the merchants, once she reached the end of the dock she was on planting the butt end of her spear in the ground and vaulting herself over it, spinning the spear in the air as she went and coming to land in front of the merchant, who shook his head as she would put the spear back on her back.
"You know young Miss Inuzuka, one day you are going to give someone a heart attack doing such things." The older man smiled and prepared a pita for Yuki, as well as getting a plate ready of meat for Akai that he could enjoy.
"I wouldn't do that. I love people, I don't want to hurt anyone! Unless they hurt my friends I guess... But that wouldn't happen." She smiled and took the pita and the meat, thanking the man and walking back towards the dock with Akai and taking a seat at the edge of it, shoes just slightly above the water as she ate and pondered what was out beyond the vastness that was the sea...
