It was raining rather relentlessly today, which meant Hinata couldn't go out to practice swinging around his shinai. It was a shame, and since Ami cancelled their bowling plans for today, the brown-haired young man was totally and utterly out of things to do for the day. Sure he could've practiced kendo [i]inside[/i] the house, but his parents were pissed since last time he tried, he ended up knocking over a rather expensive vase. Sure, they were gone for the umpteenth time because of their 'business trips', but Hinata really didn't want to risk it. And so, he lay on the tatami mat in front of the TV, watching anime with his shinai leaning against the coffee table. 

It wasn't a [i]bad[/i] way to spend your Saturday for a virtually friendless loner like himself, but not exactly how he pictured spending it... "Wait a sec," Hinata exclaimed upon having viewed an inspiring scene on TV. The brunet jumped up from the ground and began to rearrange furniture, finally clearing off a rather large space by moving most of the obstructions to the sides of the room. He grinned before picking up his shinai and assuming stance before going through his 'forms'.

The blue-haired CEDEF 'boss man' in question was currently snoring soundly with some kind of magazine on resting on his head, covering his eyes from the sun... or lack of it, since it was raining excessively in good old Namimori. The ride to Italy was long and boring, that was for sure, so Leonardo might as well have gotten something out of it other than something to complain about. Playing Cat's Cradle with his wires was a good time waster, but eventually he ended up nodding off. 

"...Hrr..." Leonardo groaned as he came back to his senses. He could hear tapping, and cracked open an eyelid. "...Oh great! I go to some backwater town in the middle of Japan, and it's [i]raining. How fun,[/i]" he declared sarcastically. He had to wake up early for this flight, in order to, what, wait out a potential battle? At least they were doing recon, which was [i]okay[/i], but he'd done enough of waiting on this damn plane!
