Back in the Day

This roleplay takes place in Tenpi, about twelve years ago (before the genin were probably born.) Created by two of us to cure boredom. Feel free to join in as your older characters!

The sky promised sunshine for the rest of the day.

It was about nine o'clock in the morning. Many people were still rising from their slumber, fighting the urge to go back to sleep for just five more minutes. As the older villagers were reluctantly awakening, there were young children running about the silent streets of Tenpi, on there way to the Academy.

The streets were empty, and the shops were still closed or just opening up for those who wanted breakfast. Very few villagers lingered around, sleepily on their way to start off the morning with an uninteresting job. It was funny how people seemed to need or want more sleep as they grow older.

Running down the streets was a fair-haired boy, who seemed to be in a hurry. His hair was combed down and flat, styled in such a manner that would make other children mock him at the Academy. Thankfully, his attire was no where near as dorky as his blond hair. He wore a navy turtleneck that kept him warm in the cold morning, but his knees would be freezing due to the fact that he was wearing black shorts. On his feet were the basic blue shinobi sandals.

Weaving through a few wobbly adults in front of a bar, the boy's azure eyes looked up, seeing the roof of the Academy building. His messenger bag moved side to side behind him as he moved about. It was not long until he finally reached the metal bars that surrounded the school building, which kept their students from wandering off into the village in the middle of the school hours. Panting, the blond looked around as his small hands gripped the bars. Seeing no one in sight, he took in some air to catch his breath and smiled.

"Alright! I think I beat her here today!" the boy exclaimed as he threw his fist into the air.

A small red-headed girl giggled as she strolled around a tree near the academy's gate.

"You're late, Kaiyou." The girl stuck her tounge out, half smiling at the fair-haired boy. The young girl had to be no older than the age of 5. Her hair was a lovely auburn color and pulled up into small pigtails with two bunny barretts clipping bangs to the side. She had on a cream t-shirt over a light blue long sleeve shirt, and kahki-colored capris; as well as the standard ninja sandals.

"You always make me wait for you!" The girl exclaimed, placing her dainty little hands on her waist.

The boy's little celebration soon ended as he heard a giggle coming from the trees. Tuning around and looking about, he eventually found the red-head standing by one of the trees. Darn... And he was so excited to actually be the first one there for once!

"Aww, c'mon! I was so happy when I thought I was here first!" Kaiyou whined as his arms fell to his sides. His lips formed a small pout, something adults gawk over when young children such as himself do it. It was kind of funny depending on when someone does it though. A parent could be yelling at a child, and when the said child pouts, the adult instantly changes his or her behavior and pretty much squeezes the life out of the child. Kaiyou will probably never understand why older people do that until he grows older himself.

The pout soon disappeared as he crossed his arms. He looked toward the girl whom he knows as Himoto.

"When do you wake up anyway? With those pigtails you wear everyday, how do you always get here earlier than I do?" With his fingers, he lifted up a lock of hair that hung at the side of his face. It was about chin-length, and the hair on the back of his head was strangely shorter. This was due to the fact that his father gave him a bad hair-cut a while ago, but Kaiyou did not mind it at all. He actually liked it more than his old hair. It was his mother that did not like the style of his hair, so she always attempted to make the boy's hair brushed down and neat everyday.

"Brushing my hair shouldn't take longer than tying yours... Hey, are those new hairclips?"
