I'm not sure what made me shoot over the wall- it might have been the wind, but it was like there was lightning in the air, somehow, and it wanted something. I wasn't even aiming for the Hyuuga estates- but over the wall it went, and I went to get it before I could get scolded by Hiashi-sama. The shriek that shot up was excruciating- might have hit a cat; Shikamaru-chibi's gift for my birthday has been very useful lately. Wait, what?

My head really hurts. Troublesome.

That thump sounded suspiciously sheep like. Sheep-rustler like.

Oh. That's Zugaikotsu. Why's he at the Hyuuga estate?

Ah! Why is Hinata-chibi on his back?! Why is she crying?! Did I shoot- no, she's fine, just scared, thank the Three.

I don't know what possesses me to nock another arrow, pull it back, and let it fly. Might have been a flash out of the corner of my eye. Might have just been an impulse. I caught a guy I had never seen before in the shoulder either way- he shrieked, staggered, and fell over. He isn't dead- I didn't shoot him in the lung, or the heart, or the head. Then there were ANBU everywhere and the night got sort of blurry and sleep deprived after that.

Hinata-chibi took a flying leap for me and wouldn't let me go, which was strange- then again, I think Zugaikotsu bucked her onto me. Hinata-chibi's really small, and she smells of lilacs and baby powder. She's also kinda sticky.

My head feels like it's going to pulse off of my body, roll away-

I fell asleep a little after midnight that day against the Hyuuga wall, and I didn't wake up until later that afternoon- I hadn't meant to stay up so late the night before, and it was very unusual what happened. I also might have a cold.

"Achoo!"

"Bless you."

"T-thank you."

And then I blacked out from a splitting headache. I didn't even notice that Hinata-chibi was still holding onto me. Or that her father was sitting next to the bed.

I guess the Brew takes a while to kick in. Odd, considering the only time Ojo-hime let us drink it was midnight on our birthday…

I hope Kirara wasn't trying to fly today. That would be… troublesome.

Oh shit I broke my armguard.
