Kushina was in the middle of filling the watering can when she heard footsteps which she followed up to see a towel, a very nice (skinny) bod, pale skin and... an 11-year old. Eiji. She almost blushed at the fact that she'd been checking him out just now. How mortifying...
"How was your night?" she asked him politely as she put the watering can away. The flowers could wait, after all. Just then, she became aware that Miu was now downstairs as well, and smiled at her. "Good morning, Miu-san," Kushina greeted her.
"Kane-san isn't back yet," she told Eiji and Miu, "but it should be any time soon. They're supposed to come back today morning. I hope his chuunin exam fights went well..." she mumbled, more to herself than to the two. "Still, I'm sure that he'll come back here straight away," she told them optimistically. "Or you can go to the shoreline to wait for him..." she suggested. "After breakfast, though. Oh yeah," Kushina suddenly said, curiosity tinting her voice. "Are you two going to train to be shinobi? There're classes at the academy every day. I'm not too sure what time it starts, but you ought to check it out." As she said this, she headed to the kitchen, presumably to make breakfast. "Want to help me with breakfast? Ayumi-san is still sleeping, right?"

"I slept like if I was sleeping on my own bed," said Eiji smiling at Kushina and making it obvious that he was more than comfortable staying in Kane's home. "Ohayou, Miu-san," said Eiji giving the girl an enthusiastic good morning as he finally spotted her.
Eiji then looked back at Kushina and listened to the news that Kane wasn't back just yet. He frowned a bit, but then he heard that he would be home soon, and he also heard something about Chuunin exams, which was quite an exciting term for Eiji. He then decided that he would go back to the shoreline and wait for his dearest cousin. "Oooh! I want to go there and wait for him! i hope he doesn't take long!" said Eiji.
As for the question about the Shinobi Academy, eiji nodded and smiled. "That's the second reason why I came here!" he confesed, the first reason being to see his cousin. He nodded as Kushina explained that they should go check it out. So now his day was all scheduled. He would pass by the academy and find out some info and if necessary, stay for class, but if not he would head out straight to the shoreline to wait for Kane. I'll go by the academy after I help out with breakfast!" said Eiji heading back to the bathroom to finish his bath quickly and come back to help out.
After only a few minutes, Eiji came back fully clothed and ready to help out. "So what are we making for breakfast this morning?!" he asked quite excited about learning about some of the traditional food that might be made in this island.

[Twilight Time: Min and Ayumi followed Kushina to the flower shop, hardly speaking. When arriving Min and Ayumi looked around and Min quietly talked to Ayumi about their reason for being there. Ayumi fell asleep soon afterward.]
Min, who hadn't fallen asleep, had carried Ayumi to the nearest room and continued her looking around. Hearing Kushina's voice and the bell, she found her way to Kushina and the two young Yamanakas. "Ohayou, mina-san." She greeted, offering a small smile. "Ayumi is still sleeping but I'm sure she'll wake soon." Min informed to the others. Ayumi soon woke up, not being one to do anything in the morning before showering, she found the bathroom, bringing a change of clothes and a towel with her. She turned on the water, it was somewhat warm. She sighed softly as she showered for a while before, turning off the water, drying herself and changing.
Ayumi heard voices and followed them to the shop. "Ohayou." She greeted, her gaze flicking from one person to another.

"Good morning. Did you sleep well?" Kushina greeted them with a smile, before getting down to business. "Well there are two things that need to be done right now, although not together. We need to make breakfast and open the shop up. Ayumi-san and Eiji-san, can you make breakfast please?" She glanced at Min, unsure of how to treat an adult. "Min-san, please don't exert yourself. Can I get you anything to drink?" Which was, of course, basically her way of saying 'Please don't do anything, I mean you're an adult after all, let the young ones do all the work.'
"And Miu-san..." Kushina turned to the girl, "Could you help me with the flowers? I'll show you what to do and everything."
[Ayumi/Eiji, tell me what you want to make for breakfast and I'll make the training exercises]

[[Sorry for the uber super long absence! D:]]
"HAI!" said Eiji excitedly as he got ready to prepare breakfast. He thought of the many delicious treats he had gotten back at home and wondered of what could be made. "So what are we going to eat? I could so go for a good okonomiyaki right now!" said him asking Kushina, hoping to persuade her into cooking the dish mentioned. He was also looking forard to making a great breakfast with Ayumi hoping to get acquainted a bit better.

Ayumi nodded in respoonse to Kushina's question about sleeping well. "Hai." Ayumi said in response, watching an excited Eiji as she also prepared to cook. She stayed silent as Eiji asked Kushina questions about what they should eat, it really didn't matter to Ayu. Min smiled at Kushina and shook her head. "Alright. I'm fine I don't need anything to drink."

~Twilight Time~
After returning from the shoreline, Hanabira was feeling pretty good about herself. If Kazuma was a normal hot head, there most likely would've been a fight between him and Rokugi. Making some small cakes and some tea, Hanabira made snacks for tomorrow while offering a few for a quick nibble before bed. Getting out an extra bed roll, Hanabira had moved the small table that the Yamanakas usually sat to eat at, so that Kazuma could sleep peacefully on the floor. In the morning, Hanabira was washed, dressed and ready to go. She was very quiet while getting ready, so that she wouldn't wake anyone else in the house. Hanabira was a normal early riser! Cleaning up the dishes from last night in the kitchen, Hanabira took her time as she looked out the window into the village. The girl always loved this time since it was neither night or day. It was a twilight between the sun and the moon just like dusk was. Hanabira always seemed to appreciate the sunrise more than the sunset though.

Hanabira finished her dishes in a timely matter even though she was being extra careful to be quiet as to not wake up Kane or Kazuma. Once the dishes were finished, Hanabira headed back up to her room to find an anatomy book. She had been meaning to read them for awhile now since she had checked them out from the library. It was surprising that Kurochi hadn't asked her to return them after having them out for a few months. As she found her book, Hanabira made her way back down to the living room where she had set Kazuma up to sleep. She quietly sat down at the table and would wait for either him or Kane to wake up. Hanabira was a little nervous about the mission today, but she'd do her best not to show it. Aya had mentioned that they were all going on the mission together. Hanabira wondered just how Tanu and Kazuma would do together? Shaking her head slightly, Hanabira focused on her reading. She needed to learn more about the muscles of the eyes, especially the pupil area.

Hanabira closed the book and rose from the table. Kazuma was still sleeping, Kane was nowhere to be seen as of yet. Hanabira thought that perhaps she had some time to run to the library. Gathering her things, Hanabira left the Hanaya to head towards the library to return the book and to check out a new one. Before getting her shoes on, Hanabira went back upstairs to her bedroom to grab a small piece of paper that had a list on it. Written on the paper, Hanabira read over the list. It was a list of books that was required for one to read in order to learn the minor eseijutsu. Tenko had suggested Hanabira to learn it and she had recieved the list from Yuki to read before she could go any further. Hanabira had been spending less time at the library and more time with Shin this last year, so she had never really checked the books out. The first book on the list was a passage on how wounds heal. Hanabira was sure she knew the process, beginning with blood coagulation, but she was sure Yuki wanted her to learn something else from this reading... Slipping on her shoes, Hanabira left the Hanaya and headed to the library.

Hanabira returned home rather quickly. The readings that had been asked of her were simple enough. She knew most of the information that was required and would be able to learn the technique easily. The girl caught herself though. She shouldn't get so high on confidence. Only genjutsu came easy to her. Sitting back down at the table, Hanabira sat quietly. She would write in her journal about yesterday events until her brother and Kazuma awoke.

~Twilight Time~
Kane returned home about half an hour or so after Hanabira and Kazuma did. A quick glance revealed the sleeping form of Kazuma and while Kane's right eye still had a tic specially reserved for him, he felt a little fuzzy inside at the growing relationship between Kazuma and his sister. One thing was for sure, he would be seeing lots more of Kazuma in the future.
 The world slowly came to being again as Kane blearily opened his eyes, taking in the familiar sight of his room and ceiling. Well, better look extra hard and commit it to memory this time because he'd be off on a mission today and didn't know when he'd return. It wasn't as dramatic or dangerous as he was making it sound, but Kane placed a great importance on home and family and liked to have it in his mind always. The sight of his home had immediately calmed his heart as he'd had a few nightmares yesterday, probably, he reflected moodily, triggered by thinking too much about that thing in Sukotto's mind. Seeing Sukotto last night, Kane had been struck by how normal he was acting and wondered if his experience in Sukotto's mind had affected him more than the man himself. At any rate Kane decided that after all this introspection he should probably get out of bed. A few stretches and breakfast would definitely clear his mind.

As Kane crossed to the bathroom a sudden idea brought on from his dreams occurred to him. It was clear that he had been severely, if not abnormally, affected by the personality within Sukotto's mind, for many reasons that he could go into now. Of course, if he did that he would lose his train of strong and so Kane wisely refrained from doing so. If Kane could make his opponents feel like that, attack them when they felt most confident, make them feel as if they were a foreign thing in their own body... and Kane had the feeling he already knew how he could do it. Picking up his toothbrush (blue) and giving his teeth a good cleaning, he reflected on how to give any opponents' minds a good disturbing. Amazing what cheerful thoughts shinobi had upon waking up, really. Sukotto's other personality had achieved horrifying Kane just by pure scariness and aggression alone, but Kane didn't think he could act like that. He was more suave and smooth than jagged and harsh. He'd have to try more refined methods. Something that he was good at.
Sometimes, a simple movement is all that's required to put the final piece in the puzzle, to trigger the key thought. In Kane's case, it was wiping his face with a flannel. The touch of his hands against his face enabled his brain to pull the key memories of manifesting chakra Kane had. And that was a great way. Kane was wrong: he wasn't looking for a refined method to systematically disturb the opponent's mind. He was going for a more broad type of destruction and a chakra blast would work just fine.

This revelation left Kane feeling decidedly more cheerful as he engaged in his daily morning dilemma - should he make an effort to look good or just do minimal maintenance? Since he'd solved a problem that had been nagging at him for quite a while, getting a new idea for a technique... he decided to go all-out. Kane could be quite the poncy when he felt like it and he definitely felt like it today. Of course, his encounters with Kanami and the grown-up Aya were not affecting him any one bit. Nope not at all.
After gargling and making sure his pearly whites were spotless, Kane quickly rinsed the cup and toothbrush before moving on to facial products. As embarrassing as it sounded, he owned more personal care products than Hanabira, although he did use them quite sporadically it must be admitted. Nonetheless Kane selected a cotton pad and squirted some toner on it. To close his pores and remove excess oil from the face, his mother had told him. She had once given him a detailed run-through of personal care routines and funny as it sounded, Kane suddenly felt closer to her as he reviewed those memories.

After he was sure there was enough toner on the small cotton pad (but not too much - these things didn't come cheap after all), Kane began work on his face. He swabbed his face down like his mother had told him: first down the T-zone also known as the trouble zone or the combination zone. Although Kane had never been afflicted with acne (it was a curious Yamanaka boon) he was careful not to get to the condition where he would. Don't tempt the Devil. After that it was time for the cheeks. In the rare times when he felt like making himself look good Kane was sure to follow his natural bone structure when applying toner and he sure didn't skimp on that habit today. Outside to in, and after that quick, thick strokes across the forehead. This was all giving out a very metrosexual vibe that even Kane himself was fully aware of (the mirror really wasn't helping) but hey, even guys had to succumb to urges. Besides, people didn't have such fabulous skin without outside assistance no matter how many claims to the contrary. Kane finished off his toning job by just running the cotton pad over previously untouched parts of his face and neck systematically.

As he waited for the toner to dry, Kane started to tackle his hair. Fortunately he had never had much of a bed-head problem (it was a wonder what water could do to hair in emergencies, at any rate) so Kane just brushed it slightly (too much and it would appear too flat), making sure all his hair parted at the correct points. Then he put his brush down and ran his slightly damp fingers through his hair again with masterful strokes that gave his hair a disheveled look, except this time it was intentional. Kane could really pull that look off if he wanted to, especially with the right clothes.
Now that his hair was done it was time for the rest of his face and body, if he had time. He had to leave for a mission after all. Now that he thought about it it really was impractical to make himself up right before a mission, but Kane quickly justified it as making himself extra clean. He wouldn't be able to properly take care of himself in foreign situations after all. What was half an hour of indulgence? He found the jar of moisturising salve made for him by one of the nurses-in-training over in the clinic and unscrewed it open. Taking a generous amount he lathered the salve over his face and all of the extra cream went on extra-dry parts of his body like his elbows, knees and shins.
