She was walking deep into the forest, trying to find a quiet place to meditate, when she heard what sounded like kunai hitting wood. Confused, she located the sound and found a boy her age trying to hit targets with kunai. She watched, and finally came out, sitting against a tree trunk. "You need any help?" her voice seemed to startle him, and he almost fell over. She suppressed a giggle, and stood up, saying, "I can help you…it'll be easy…" He nodded, and she looked at all of the targets, making sure she knew where each one was, before taking out her kunai. She jumped into the air, and threw the kunai with deadly accuracy, and landed on the ground lightly after each kunai found its mark. "You just need to know where each target is, and then just try to drown out everything else so you can focus on the targets. Try it." She stepped back, and he took the spot. He hit a lot of the targets, if not in the center, but he fell on his ankle wrong.

She was at his side in a moment, and lifted him onto her back, making sure she didn't hurt his ankle, and started walking out of the forest. "Does it hurt a lot?" "Not as much as before…" She smiled, relieved. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Michiko." "Sasuke Uchiha…" "Well, we're out of the forest, so I'll head to the Uchiha compound…" As she walked, they started talking, and when she got into the compound, he started talking about his older brother. "He sounds strong…" "He is! He's the best aniki ever!" she smiled, saying, "You're lucky, then." They reached his house soon, and she knocked. Her arms were starting to feel sore, and she wished someone would answer the door soon. When someone did answer the door, she breathed out, relieved, and smiled. "Aniki!" Sasuke smiled brightly, and Michiko said, "He got hurt practicing, so I thought I should bring him home." Sasuke got off her back, but she supported him so he wouldn't put pressure on his hurt ankle, and his brother sighed, lifting him up. "I guess he's alright now…so I'd better be going…I haven't gotten any decent training in a while…"

A few days later, after seeing Sasuke around the Academy a few more times, she decided that she should probably start walking him to the Academy, since he had started not too long ago, and it was the only time she had free now, with all of her other friends taking up all of her free time AFTER training. Her father had given her twin katana to practice with, and she intended to. She had them strapped onto her back in an X formation, with the hilts on the bottom. 'Maybe I have too many friends…but then again, you can never have too many friends.'
