Hikari sat on a tree branch, her legs crossed and her hands on the branch on either side of her. Her astute blue eyes scanned the area, waiting for the other members of her squad to arrive. They were supposed to be meeting here before heading to the Hokage's office to receive their next mission.<br/><br/>As per usual, she was the first to arrive, so she waited patiently for the others, watching as various individuals entered and left the building, most of them taking no notice of the young jonin observing them. The only one who took notice was Kakashi, who gave her a smile and a wave before carrying on his way. She returned the wave with a smile before going back to quiet, motionless observation.<br/><br/>It wasn't long before Asami Kurama--their squad leader and once their sensei--showed up, stopping short of the tree and looking up to find Hikari sitting on one of the branches, now swinging her legs back and forth in alternating motions, much like a child might do. "Good morning." The older woman, twelve years Hikari's senior, greeted the young girl.<br/><br/>"Good morning, sensei." Hikari replied out of habit,  a habit she had yet to break despite the fact that the two of them had been the same rank for years now. "I take it you didn't find the others on your way here?" She was teasing the older woman and the slight smile that tugged at the corner of her lips gave this away. "Nope. But I'm sure they'll be along shortly." Asami assured here. Tardiness was rarely something they had a problem with, so Hikari was certain that she was right. She had arrived early and, even now it was still several minutes before they were supposed to meet.<br/><br/>Hikari continued swinging her legs as Asami leaned against the trunk of the tree and the pair waited for the two remaining members of their squad.<br/><br/>Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
