The Princess and the Tramp [Theme]

[Deleted]

Finding someone when you didn't know anything about them was hard.

The search for Uchiha Yowabi had so far proven to be nonesense. Which made sense, considering that he was just searching in common places and hoping to maybe run into him. That left him with no one who could help him find what he needed, which once again threatened to bring him to his knees.

However, just as when he was in, something in his brain seemed to snap and click, and before long the pain was gone, and his brain started to think of other solutions.

Truth was, Inu didn't know many people. It came with the territory of being a douchebag to any and everyone he met. So, he didn't really know too many people who could help him. But, apart from Yowabi, there was one other genius in his class who he could seek out. Her name was Umehime, and she was the daughter of one Hyūga Kaname.

One thing that he gathered from those who knew about her was that she often trained with he dad in the Hyūga compound, which made her a bit easier to find. Unlike, Yowabi, she wasn't a complete dweeb. Actually had friends and acquaintances.

Then again, Inu hadn't really thought to seek out Yowabi’s friends. He just assumed that Yowabi was too dorky to have any . . .

Anyway, so Inu fumbled his way to the Hyūga compound on his crutches, which he were not yet accustomed to, his ankle feeling rather snug within his cast. He asked around, and eventually found the place where his almost-sensei lived. It would be weird to knock, but if Kaname didn't answer, he’d fine.

Tiny knuckles rap-rapped against the door, and Inu found himself staring rather intently at doorknob. For no reason. He was just tense.

notes: kinda want this to be a special training thread for Inu’s SA, so if you’re up for the posts, we can do it? If you can find a way to join in @kaname, I wouldn't mind your presence, even if only for a bit.

Konoha,

Kaname who had his Byakugan active was aware of Inu's arrival as he noticed the boy as soon as he reached his door. Not very many things could surprise Kaname or slip his notice when his Byakugan was active so a hobbling genin not attempting to hide his precense was easily spotted even without him actively looking for him. His focus was on training his daughter at the moment but he could see various other things including Issho slacking off on his work. He had just finished tossing his pride and joy to the ground hard because she was 1/5th of an inch too far to the left to strike his tenketsu that she was aiming for and that was his way of telling her to be better when his attention was diverted to Inu by his attendant.

"We will stop it here Hime, Inu how are your injuries looking you know if you let a medical nin treat you I am sure it will heal up much quicker the injury isn't that serious". Kaname was wondering what the boy wanted and why he had decided to seek Kaname out, he did not think he made a good impression on the boy during their mock training session with Toshi and Kajo but maybe he was wrong in thinking this, which is odd as Kaname is not used to being wrong at all. He relaxed himself which was a sign for his daughter to relax as well. He deactivated his Byakugan and smiled at his daughter while stating in a firm voice "you did well  but you can do better we will continue our training latter on prepare yourself until then love". With that he gave his full attention to Inu smile still on his face.

He lifted a crutch and performed the best bow that he could. “Asshole-san.”

Inu made no attempt to make eye contact with Kaname, instead checking his shirt and pants and generally feeling pretty foolish, but sticking with his “act” (as some adults called it) because, fuck it, he was lost cause anyway, yeah?

’I think, therefore I am,’ he thought, and his opinion was that no one would ever like him anyway, so . . .

“Shortcutting stupidity is something I’ve never been good at. Pain teaches, so why run from it?" he said. "Not that it hurts much now, but these fucking crutches are damning enough.”

He made it sound pretty and all, but . . . even he knew he wasn’t really telling the truth. “Might not make sense, but shortcutting stupidity is something I’ve never really been good at.”

When he finally looked up, it was to look at Umehime. Who he regarded as superior in every way. Who he suspected wouldn’t even listen to him if he hadn’t. Avoiding her face, of course, he said, “I think I need your help. And hopefully you aren’t as stiff as pops—” he lifted a crutch towards Kaname when he said this—“but if you are, that’s fine enough.”

As he spoke, though, Inu failed to notice how different he may have sounded to anyone who knew him. That while the “Inu” was still present in how he spoke, there was a certain amount of control and narrowed focus to his words that were unlike him. And even his profane bent seemed trimmed.

One thing that hadn’t changed though—too insecure to bother scanning the room, he had no idea of there was a chair around anywhere, and his arms were definitely getting tired of standing.
