Escaped and Awake

Little Hirosue opened up her eyes.
Floating white clouds greeted her up above the ceiling.
Swirling aimlessly in still motion and beauty.

Little Suweh looked to her side and saw her little teddy bear.
A handmade gift from her mother. She named it Saya.
Saya, the brown teddy bear was sleeping on her pillow.

Little Hirosue poked Saya's black little nose.
Saya didn't seem to care and ignored her with her button eyes.
She poke it again. This time on Saya's little pink ribbon. Hello.

Little Suweh jumped up from her bed.
She dropped herself on the floor and started making push-ups.
Back and forth, she pushed herself up above the floor.

Little Hirosue let her thoughts drift about aimlessly.
She thought about things. And people. And events.
Sunaku Niwa. The bloody kunai. Chisuji Jeishi.

Little Suweh stopped in the middle of her push-ups.
Akuma Shinto. Her, fainting out. The dream today.
Too many things. A lot of things. Silly things.

Little Hirosue looked at the floor and decided what to do.
Today is good day. A very important day. Genin examination day.
Yet she missed the chance. Because of what happened.

Little Suweh lifted herself up on the floor sluggishly.
She placed her head on the edge of the bed and sighed.
Feeling bad, she gave a little peak at her new friend.

Little Hirosue let her tongue out at Saya, the teddy bear.
What are you looking at? She asked her in thought.
Oh nothing. She answered for Saya in a mumble.

Little Suweh wished she could join the Genin exam.
I should be there. Making new friends. Learning something new.
Not here. Trapped in my room. Bored. Grounded.

Little Hirosue gumbled as she stood up.
What's the next best thing beside the genin exam today?
A wild idea came up to her head. A little wild perhaps?

Little Hirosue smiled a knowing smile.
She would make this a very interesting day today.
For herself? For Saya? No. For both of them.
