She had always been a quiet girl.

To a lot of people who knew her she was quiet.

But today...Today, she was even more quiet. Sometimes she'd be vocal of her opinions...But not THAT regularly.

Was she having time to herself? Maybe...

Or was it...

Was it Reflection? Definitely.

Miho Nishizumi sat on a deck-chair out the back of her mother's huge house. Everything was okay today...She had gotten the reigns of the "Top Commander" of the Nationals and was a VERY STRONG candidate for Commander status on the World Championship table.

There had been talk of male participants in Tankery programmes across the world but that had been revoked the moment it went under Miho's mother's nose.

Which was a relief. Miho didn't want to deal with relationships with men at the moment. She didn't really consider herself a girl for the men...Particularly when she had declared her love for her fellow tankery crew or team during an evening dinner.

Miho felt a smile itch across her face as she remembered what Saori said to her one time.

"If we win the nationals...I'll get hitched!"

Which was almost immediately followed by Mako's remark off, "What the hell?.

The general weather was good. The Sun was gentle on her skin while the Wind was making it so that the heat didn't attack her skin too much.

Miho leaned back into the chair and closed her eyes. Before long she was drifting off. Thinking of each off her team-mates until a certain person appeared in her head; Yes. It was Yukari.

Yukari Akiyama. Brown Haired, Chocolate Brown eyes with a happy go lucky personality. Always apologising when things were not good.

She felt a small feeling in her throat as she fell into a lulled sleep thanks to the gentle air.

Was she starting to like her?

Her close tankery team-mate? The one who always kept her feeling safe and assured of her strategy's?

Possibly...

"Yukari..."

She felt her whole body go limp as she succumbed to the sensation of the sleep.

Meanwhile

"ACHOO!"

Yoshiko jumped out of her skin. "YUKARI! DON'T do that! I nearly cut your hair wrong!"

Yukari giggled nervously. "Sorry mother...I just wonder if someone's thinking about me..."

Yoshiko nodded. "Maybe..."

Yukari held up her hands which stopped Yoshiko for a moment.

"Honey?"

Yukari looked at her mother. "I wanna make a bento...For someone..."

Yoshiko softened her eyes. "Okay, who?"

Yukari started to fidget. "You'll figure out soon..."

Yoshiko nodded. "Fine" She pretended to be hurt that her daughter wouldn't tell her...Which wound Yukari up a treat.

"MOTHER! I'll tell you! Just not right now!"

Yoshiko smirked. "Okay, okay. Just be sure you do so. Alright Yukari?"

Yukari nodded. "Yeah"

With Maho

Maho had been spying on her sister for the hour and half she had been sleeping...Snoring.

"That's so annoying" Maho whispered as she sat down on the opposite deck-chair and kept herself sat up straight, while she watched Miho sleep.

'I could pinch her nose...'
