[center][i]Mika Hayashi,
Jounin-sensei of Team 14.[/center][/i]

It wasn't the best wake up she had. The pain of the previous day that she had tried to face Rika was still there, present to remind her what would both happen today and what would happen if Mika would try to warn Haruhi. There were bandages covering parts of her body to hide away some wounds that Rika had delivered her, during the latter's rage. Slowly pushing herself to sit up straight, Mika tried to flex her fingers. Even that was a bit painful. Only that one thought came up, that was more painful that the physical pain she was enduring.

The plan of the Mizukage. Mika hissed softly as she finally managed to get out of bed. Though not one to care too much for looks, she saw soon that she was a mess when she looked in the mirror of her bathroom. Getting a shower and brushing her teeth, things that were normally routine and without any pain, were now quite bothersome. Two of the bandages were about to drop and Mika had to grab some new ones to make sure that the wounds would be still bandaged properly. That done, she could get dressed. Like always, as a jounin from Kirigakure. But still, she wasn't sure. Maybe she should do something about her looks? Meeting the Mizukage torned up, with Haruhi at her side seemed wrong. Very wrong. Like she had lost and had submitted to the Mizukage's wish. Yes, Mika couldn't prevent Haruhi from becoming a Jinchuriki, but she would make sure that the girl wouldn't suddenly following the Mizukage more than her. Clenching her hands into fists, Mika had to control herself to not slam the mirror in thousands of pieces. 

Instead, she formed several handsignals to summon a small smoke cloud. The transformation technique would show Mika like she was before she had spoken against Rika. Without any cuts, bandages or anything like that. Walking towards the living room, she could hear sounds from the kitchen. [b]''Haruhi, we're moving. Now. We will eat later.''[/b] Mika said. It really sounded like an order, which it was. Though Mika didn't had a high view on Rika, she had always been raised by the Kirigakure ANBU to not let the Mizukage wait. Bad things happened if you would do that.
