[center][b][i]Kiyomi Sato-Hon, Hokage Apprentice, Team leader of Team 2. A clear sky.[/center][/b][/i] She leaned back with a small smile on her lips. The sun was slowly going down and it created a nice coloring in the sky. Though knowing she had to head back, it was just so peaceful. Very relaxing to just lay against the stomach of the horse who had also laid on the ground. [b]''It is a shame we lost.''[/b] Kiyomi mumbled, though she kept smiling. Though that they had lost the race, Lee had found it both amusing as impressive that she had managed to ride so well with Kazeya. Though she hadn't say it, Kiyomi wanted to joke that it was cause she was half Sato. With the horse laying relaxed and she with her back against him, she thought about it. Right now she was kind of following the life that had been that of her mothers. That of a kunoichi of the Leaf. Maybe their goals and ideals were different, but they both had that in common. Her biological father was a nomad and she thought about the nomad life. Riding on top of a horse, traveling to new places. She had to say that she always had liked to explore and learn about distance places. A life of a nomad seemed not that bad, she thought to herself. Placing her hands at the back of her head, Kiyomi thought more about it. She wanted to become the next Hokage and so far everything was going as she would want it. Or perhaps she had expected it differently? She half closed her eyes, still staring at the horizon. The beautiful lighted sky didn't bring any comfort at all as she thought about it. When she has been less serious about it, being Hokage meant something completely different than what it meant to her now. Understanding what was needed to do as the leader, what kind of decisions you would need to take. What kind of hardship you had to endure. It was completely different than what she had expected when she had tried to impersonate her uncle at some times. Back then it had seem like an easy task, where everybody respected you. Where nobody would dare try to mock you, cause you were somebody that was there for a whole country. [b]''Heh.''[/b] Kiyomi sighed as she shook her head lightly. Maybe she was still a bit naive. But at least now she understood what it meant. Most of it. Only she wondered about the lessons. Both Hisoka and Meisa were wonderful people. They hadn't done anything to her or any sort of action in her opinion that was just rash or without a purpose. With Zakito it was just that she hoped that they would stay around for a very long time. Yes, becoming a Hokage would be great. But any time soon? No. After all, she had some time to spend the day like this. To just relax and sit back, not needing to worry about a decision. Or any secret bothering her. Pushing such thoughts and memories away, she smiled as she would speak up. [b]''We should do this more often. Kazeya.''[/b] Kiyomi whispered. The horse whinnied briefly and what seemed to her as a hushed tone. Yes, she was sure of it. Staying as the apprentice for quite some time would be perfect in her opinion.
