Mōdoku looks at the target in front of her seeing all her throws impact right in the middle. Sighing she walks forward to collect them to be rethrown. "What's taking daddies friend so long, I was told she'd be here by now?'. She grumbled. Mōdoku looks at the target in front of here while considering how she could make the action more difficult to do. Eventually she comes to the conclusion that the only thing she can do to make it more exciting is to try throwing faster and faster until her accuracy decreases.
She holds up the senbon after determining that the target is too close for speed to cause too much of an impact to her accuracy. "Hmm, I wonder if id be able to hit two different spots while throwing with one hand? It should increase the difficulty enough so that I'm enjoying myself more".
She grabs out a marker and makes two dots that she will aim for. Walking back, she picks up two in her right hand and released it. Grabbing another two in her left hand she releases another set. Hearing the impact, she nods noticing that all hit on the target. Moving forward for a more detailed examination she notices that each is off by a bit. She smiles to herself, "Seems like I can improve on this until she comes to babysit me".
Hours pass in this matter with Mōdoku switching between chakra control exercises when her arms are sore and senbon training. Seeing her progress brings a smile to her face, happy that she was able to achieve so much today. Suddenly, she hears the door open and sees her father's friend walk through the door. When she walks out to see her, the shinobi suddenly stops and exclaimed. "You're so small don't tell me I'm supposed to be looking after you?". Mōdoku gazes up into her pupilless white eyes, a smile coming to her lips as she notices that she doesn't flinch like her grandparents when she looks at them. "Hehe, did daddy forget to tell you my age? That's irresponsible of him".
The shinobi finally reacts, her eyes flickering Mōdoku up and down, as a smile also appears on her lips. "You're quite a sassy one for one you're age Mōdoku". Mōdoku tilts her head as she mulls over why she was judged as such by the shinobi. "Akiri, why were you so late?". She asks.
The question causes Akiris smile to falter as she responds, "Sorry Mōdoku, I had some tasks I had to do for the clan". Mōdoku pondered on what she could be referring to until she remembered that the hyuga family is renowned for their separation of themselves through the main house and branch families.
Mōdoku looks up at her hitai-ate remembering that Chen had brought up Akiris situation in the pass. Akiri noticing her looking at where her seal is slowly walked toward Mōdoku trying to distract herself from the question she's expecting to come from Mōdoku.
Instead Mōdoku responds, "Don't worry I was able to play around and learn a new skill". The lack of question brings a slight smile back to Akiris lips as she looks down at Mōdoku enquiring, "Hm, and what might that skill be Mōdoku?".
The question brings a smile to Mōdokus face as she runs to the room where she was practicing her throwing. "I'll show you over here". Mōdoku not waiting for a response picks up her senbon and gets in position to throw holding two in her right hand and two in her left. Looking expectantly towards the door where she sees Akiris inquisitive look.
She lets out the two from one hand in one motion releases the senbon held in the opposite hand directly after. She looks back at Akiri to see her eyes widen in shock at Mōdokus actions. "Come on Akiri, have a look at how close I am to the spots a market". Mōdoku walks up to the target and notices that her shots all landed right by her marks. Nodding in happiness, she notices Akiri had walked beside her to get a closer check.
She hears Akiri say in shock, "Mōdoku I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me! To think that one at you age can utilise such a skill, hang on how old are you exactly Mōdoku?". The praise brought a large smile to cascade her face as she looks up at Akiri and responds, "I'm 2 years and 7 months 8 days, Akiri".
Akiri nods her head as she allows the information to seep in, "I thought that you might just be really short for your age, but it turns out you're just really skilled for your age". Mōdoku starts giggling and spins around happily and responds, "yeah, and the next time you see me I will show you something even more interesting".
Having been put to bed by Akiri, Mōdoku lays in her bed not being able to sleep. She realises that todays the first time she has gone to bed without her parents around, with some anxiety she starts to manipulate her chakra so that she might sense her parents not sensing her parents she slumps into bed.
Akiri having felt something off come into the room asking, "Mōdoku, are you still up?". She responds, "Yeah Akiri, I'm having trouble falling asleep". She looks up at Akiri and sees her appear to hesitate before asking, "Mōdoku was that you who was sensing just now?".
Mōdoku having been informed by her parents before responds somewhat downcast, "Yeah, my parents have told me a bit about it and how to train it Akiri". She notices Akiri nod before she starts to reclose the door and saying, "Alright Mōdoku, there's nothing to worry about, just fall asleep and before you know it your mother will be back".
Mōdoku hears her and lays back down the heaviness of her eyes puling them closed before she stopped thinking and fell asleep.
