(First this is for Shizuke, so don't join unless you are invited.
I'm starting this as if they've already left Konaha and have been traveling for awhile. They've almost reached the village, so... yeah...)
Haruka heaved her duffly bag, which was full of her things for the next few days. It was just comforting to know they had almost arrived in her hometown in the Land of Tea. She was also appreciative of the company she had along with her: Shizuke and Yuo Tsukiyama and Yukio Oro, three of her greatest friends.
"I reallly appreciate you guys coming along." she said, reajusting the strape up onto her shoulder. "Too tell the truth, i'm nervous. About my dad, about my old friends,..." she gripped her stomach to symbolise her sheer fear of her old friends opinions, or if anyone would recognize her for that matter.

I skipped along happily. I hadn't packed much for this trip; I had only packed 3 changes of clothes, my hair brush, toothbrush, etc, etc. I figured that I could wash my clothes while I was there.
"No problem Haruka." Yuo said, staying right beside Haruka the entire time.
"You that nervous? You know if anything goes wrong we'll be right here!" Yuo laughed a bit.
Yukio ran after me, she had grown her hair out since the last time we saw Haruka.

Haruka drew in a deep breath. "Well, yes i know that..." she admitted, flashing all of them a smile. "But that doesn't take away the butterflies..." They were in sight of the village now, making her bite her lip. "Gosh... i wonder what ever happened to Idate... and Haruhi, and Jairi, and Ryku." Again she took a deep breath. "Maybe i'm getting ahead of myself." she paused before looking around at her company, "Oh, god sorry. I'm talking to myself again. I hope you don't think i'm going insane." She laughed dryly.

I laughed and kept on skipping ahead. I had never been to the Land of Tea before so it was actually quite exciting.
"Don't worry about it, it happens all the time." Yuo said, smiling back at Haruka. Yukio turned around and walked backwards. She waved her hand and began to yell.
"We all talk to ourselves!" she yelled.

Haruka laughed again as they all walked through the village gate. "Yeah... i guess... but most of us do it when we're alone..." She was just glad that this trip was taking place without her cast.
She looked around the old town and almst broke out in tears of joy. It was just so good to be back. It was an old farming town, not very large. She doubted anyone would remember her. She always remembered it being a town of song. Everyone around town would sing the exact same tune when they were working. She could still remember it and hummed the tune as they strolled, looking around for anyone she found familiar.

I ran at Yuo and jumped onto him happily.
"She seems really happy." I said to Yuo. Yuo nodded.
"You think after this she might not want to come back?" I asked Yuo, turning and looking at Haruka. Yuo looked over at Haruka and shrugged.
"Hope not!" he exclaimed. He swung me onto his back gently. Yukio hung around beside Yuo and me, very cautious of the new place.

Haruka turned as Yuo suddenly yelled something. "Hope not, what?" she asked curiously. She shook her head, deciding to dismiss it. Suddenly she felt someone hug her from behind.
"HARUKA!!!" the person yelled. She turned around to see another girl, about a year older than her, with dark brown hair and chocolatey eyes.
"HARUHI!!!" She yelled. They both jumped up and down in a circle and screamed girlishly. "Haruhi, this is Shizuke, Yukio and Yuo." she introduced after the celebration.

I waved fropm on top of Yuo's back and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Hiya!" I exclaimed.
Yuo bowed his head, almost dropping me.
"AH! YUO!" I shrieked, hanging onto him tighter.
"Sorry." Yuo apologized. He smiled at Haruhi.
"Wonderful meeting you." he said.
Yukio looked up at me and I nodded. Yukio waved happily and smiled.
"Hello." she said happily.

Haruhi giggled. "Wow... she's your sister, isn't she?" she said to Yuo.
Haruka nodded. "Still just as good as always at reading people, huh?" she laughed.
Her old friends nodded. "You noticed. Amazing. So what brings you back here? Everyone thought you ran away." Haruka quirked and eyebrow.
"Ran away? What the hell are you talking about?"
"You're father told everyone that you and Jun ran away from home." Haruka gritted her teeth at this statement.

Yuo laughed and I nodded.
"What made it so obvious?" I asked Haruhi. I chuckled.
"Ran away." Yuo thought sadly. Yuo looked down a bit but then looked back up at Haruka and smiled, hoping not to have given away his sadness.
Yukio stood off to the side quietly. She looked up at me again and I nodded.
"Don't worry." I said.

"Speaking of my father..." Haruka said angerly, trying to sound as nice as possible. "Where might i find him? I need to... speak with him..." Haruhi pointed in the direction of her old house. She nodded a quick thanks before taking both Yukio and Yuo's hands and pulled them along. "I'll talk to you later, Haruhi-chan. Promise."
When they were out of earshot she cursed under her breath. "I'm going to kill that sick example for a father..." she grumbled. "Run away... what a lame coverup for selling your children."

I slipped off of Yuo's back and landed on the ground. I turned and waved at Haruhi.
"See ya!" I exclaimed. I ran after them quickly.
"Woah!" Yuo exclaimed.
"Don't kill us, we didn't do anything!" Yuo said loudly. Yukio shriked, but continued to go along, turning back to yell at me.
"Hurry up!" she exclaimed, waving her other hand at me.

Haruhi waved back with an awkward smile.
She stomped her foot. "No, not you... Arg, i swear if he... What i mean is..." she trailed off in a fit of rage. She could see her own house coming into sight over the hill. "Why would he say that? I just don't understand!" She felt like ripping out her hair, she was so frustrated. More importantly than this statement he had made, why would anyone have believed him. He was the scum of the town when he turned into the drunk fool she remembered.

Yuo slipped his hand out of her grip and followed silently behind her.
"Let your steam off them come back to me." Yuo said. He looked off to the side and frowned. He was begining to think it was a bad idea that he came along. Yukio struggled out too and kept beside Yuo. She nodded. I ran and jumped on Yuo's back again.

"NO!" she exclaimed quickly. THen she took a deep breath before she spoke again, much more calmly. "No... i'm fine... i'm just frustrated with my father... I'll talk to him, and everything will get sorted out." She looked at all of them, stopping her site when she reached Yuo. "But i need all of you there to help me keep a level head. Please..." She bit her lip pleadingly.
