Team 2
Konoha Training Fields[/b][/center]

His eyes opened in a panic. What time was it?? Looking around quickly, Hayate realized that he was not at home in his bed. A look of puzzlement crossed his face before he remembered where he was. Rolling over, Hayate managed to sit up. He slowly remembered passing out in the training field after spending the whole night pushing himself to the point where he could push no more. Exhausted, he had collapsed under a tree and fallen asleep.

Shaking his head at his own foolishness, Hayate stood up. He had pushed himself too hard, wanting to show Kiyomi that he was ready, and that he could handle himself. He wanted to make a good impression to his new team, but now he was going to look even more foolish.

Hayate brushed himself off and started running. He didn’t know how late he was, but he only hoped that he hadn’t missed meeting with his team altogether. As he continued to run, Hayate felt energized, as if his few hours of restless sleep had somehow replenished his stamina. Perhaps his training was paying off.

Hayate began to slow as he caught sight of Leo and Kiyomi. He paused, even now it was strange seeing her like this. A smile tugged at his lips, either way it was good to have her back. Shaking the thoughts from his head, Hayate jogged forwards, calling out to his team. [b]“Hi Leo-san, hello Kiyomi-sama.”[/b] As he grew closer to the pair, Hayate had to resist the urge to bow his head in shame. He knew that would only worsen his situation. Walking forwards, he locked eyes with Kiyomi. [b]“My apologies for being late Kiyomi-sama. It will not happen again.”[/b]
