Finally the day was here! The day where she proved everyone wrong! She had become a ninja, she would further herself and be successful in the trials to come! Today a genin, and soon she make chuunin, and then jonin! She'd show them all! She already made a couple of friends, well really one, but she liked to count the butterflies and birds that would spend time with her along with her only real friend. Megumi finished fixing her hair and closed her eyes giggling out of happiness. Megumi slid off the chair infront of her mirror and grabbed a peach on her way out the door. She'd have grabbed more but that's all she had in her tiny apartment to eat so that would have to do. Besides that she just liked peaches! 

As she walked along people looked at her in disbelief. Not everyone though, mostly just the adults that were a bit older. As usual Megumi wasn't wearing any shoes, but that's not what bothered the adults. No. Today it was the protector she wore. The fact that Megumi had become a ninja finally irritated them, and some might've even complained about where she was wearing the protector. She hadn't know what to do with it so she'd modified it to be worn on her ankle. Naturally though, the looks, the comments, all of it. She didn't care! She was proud! She wondered who she'd be put on a team with though. She only knew one person...One person in the whole village who had really tried to be her friend. Sure a lot were neutral, but someone trying to be her friend was a huge deal to her.

She finally reached the academy though. This would be the first time she'd ever been there. Megumi just stood there for a moment staring at the building. She took a deep breath, exhaled, giggled happily, and finally went in. Upon entering the room she hadn't known what to expect, and it was slightly surprising. Most people were just waiting, nothing terribly interesting really happening, but then she saw Setsu, and her eyes brightened momentarily, though someone was already there and also she didn't want him getting questioned on why some random person they'd probably never seen before went to him. Instead she walked over in front of the desks and sat infront of them on the floor just lightly giggling happily to herself too excited to contain it fully.

Slowly opening her eyes to the world Kiyomi sat up slowly. It was finally here. The day she'd be assigned a squad like her father, mother, and brother. She didn't have to worry about any of them anymore though after all. Her father had retired after an injury, and other than that her brother and mother were both dead. She slipped out of the bed and got ready. She hated the normal clothing of ninja, and the village for that matter. Throwing on some pants and socks, then topping it off with a t-shirt that barely hid her tattoos. Then shook her head throwing it off again grabbing a black tank top and a white jacket to go over it that she left undone.

When she got to the kitchen her father was there making breakfast for the two of them. When he saw her he let a small smile slip and shook his head. "You know you're the only one who dresses like that in the entire village dear...Don't you have an issue sticking out like that all the time?" Her father blatantly threw out there jokingly. "Dad, it doesn't matter what they think. For one I prefer to be unique, and secondly most of them are too weak for me to care what their opinions are..." The two smiled and sat down an ate their breakfast. Afterwards Kiyomi had a sudden revelation and ran up to her room and grabbed her protector and took off her jacket. She hadn't figured out what to do with the damned thing yet but it finally came to her! She quickly grabbed her sewing kit and sewed the damn thing to the back of her jacket. "There! Now I don't have to wear the stupid thing like Jewelry!" Kiyomi quickly threw it back on and ran to the front door putting her combat shoes on. Not quite boots, and most definitely not those sandals that every other ninja wears, just a mix between a combat boot and a shoe! She then walked to the school entering the class room with literally a minute to spare. Walking to the back of the room and leaning on a wall waiting for her team to be decided. 'Just don't give me any dead weight...' The sole thought passed through her mind as the minute began to pass.
