[indent][indent][indent][indent][indent]Hiro opened his eyes and sat up in his bed, giving a very cat-like stretch as the early morning sunlight.  He scratched the side of his face and looked over at the headband sitting on his bedside table.  The sight of it caused a wide smile to spread across his face.  Today was the day.  He'd had a thoroughly unorthodox graduation, and he only knew of one other member of the squad Hiro was placed on, Uchiha Bakuto.  Neither of them even knew who their jounin was.  Hiro shook his head.  [i][color=#C1E4D5]That doesn't matter,[/color][/i] he said to himself.  [i][color=#C1E4D5]We're finding out today, and then we're gonna be shinobi.[/color][/i]  With that thought he leapt out of bed, holding onto his optimism no matter how much the vague nature of the orders he'd received reminded him of his family.  He shed out of his pajamas as he ran to the bathroom.

One shower later, Hiro was dressed and tying on his headband, wrapping his light scarf around his neck when he finished.  Hanging from his back was a shoulder bag with water and fruit.  He smacked his cheeks and slid open his bedroom window, taking in Konoha's lovely summer breeze, before leaping from the window and out onto the streets.  Without any further ado, he made his way to the Village Gates, the specified location in the slip he was given.  His pace was brisk, but controlled.  He wanted to get to the gates as quickly as possible, and tried to do so without being a nuisance to the passerby lining the streets.  He made it to the gates relatively quickly, but despite his hurried pace, he wasn't the first one to get here.

[b][color=#C1E4D5]"Oh, Uchi-... err, Bakuto."[/color][/b]  He came to a halt a bit away from his teammate.  [b][color=#C1E4D5]"Sorry about that, I'll have to break the habit.  I hope I didn't keep you waiting for very long."[/color][/b]  He smiled and scratched the back of his head.  [b][color=#C1E4D5]"Although, from the looks of things, it doesn't seem like our other teammate is here yet."[/color][/b]  He looked around, a puzzled look on his face.  [b][color=#C1E4D5]"Or... our teacher.  Huh."[/color][/b]  He looked around, quickly scanning their surroundings.  I know I'm not from here, but this doesn't feel normal.  He shrugged.  [b][color=#C1E4D5]"Guess we're waiting then."[/color][/b]  He reached for his bag and withdrew a pair of oranges.  [b][color=#C1E4D5]"Orange?  I, ah... forgot to eat breakfast."[/color][/b][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent]
