Riko's POV
Alarm blaring in my ears, I immediately slam my hand on the clock. I groggily open my eyes, only to be blinded by the harsh rays of the sun. Waiting for my vision to readjust, my red eyes scan the numbers of the clock, 7:05 am.

Great.

Slowly and sluggishly, I tear the warm blankets off my sleep deprived body. The cold temperature of my room hits me like a wave making shivers crawl on my body like bugs. I shudder and make my way towards my personal bathroom.

Walking in, I look in the mirror and I'm instantly repulsed from the dark bags under my eyes. Last night I spent my hours studying the human body. Why? Because I'm training in Medical Ninjutsu, and studying anatomy makes things a lot more easier. Drifting my eyes from the mirror, I trudge towards the shower.

Twisting the knob, I set it on cold and let the water rain down. I strip off my clothes until I'm standing naked and step in. Closing the curtain, the water pelts on my pale skin, making me jump awake. Not wanting to freeze, I quickly shower. Lathering flower scented shampoo, I scrub my scalp until my head is covered in foam. I then let the cool water rinse my hair, the soapy substance trailing down my body. I repeat the same process for the conditioner, flower scented of course. I then grab a sponge and lather it in vanilla scented body wash and scrub myself. Once again I let the cool water wash me clean.

Grabbing a towel off the rack, I wrap it around my nude body and grab another for my hair. Rubbing my hair until it's not soaking wet, I take the towel off my head and put it back on the rack to dry itself. Running my fingers through my semi dry hair, I walk back into my room. Going to my drawers, I take out a clean pair of underwear and sports bra. I quickly put them on and walk to my closet and put on my usual outfit. Finishing with tying the white utility belt on my waist, letting the pouch rest on my lower back.

I walk out of my room letting the heel of the boots click on the wooden floor, I make it towards the kitchen. Since my father and my older brother, Ranko, are out on missions, it's just my mom and I. Walking in, I greet my mother.

"Morning mom," I say cheerfully.

"Ah, morning sweety. Ready for school today," she asks, still preparing my breakfast.

"Yeah, today is the last day, so we're getting our new sensei and teams," I explain with an excited smile.

"So, do you have anyone of interest that you want on your team," she ponders as she looks over her shoulder at me.

"Hmm, maybe Sakura," I sigh dreamily.

"The Haruno girl? Isn't that the girl you like," she asks with an amused smile and quirked eyebrow.

I choke on the air with realization, "uh, what?! No, I-I don't like her," I blush.

"Riko, I could tell when my own daughter is lying," she rolls her eyes. "She is, isn't she? She's a smart girl. Her parents are nice," my mother smiles.

"Y-yeah," I pout.

"Hey, no pouting! Now, eat your breakfast or you'll be late," she ushers after placing the meal in front of me.

"Yes, ma'am," I say as I mock salute her.

I see her smile at the name and softly pats my head as she walks away. I look down at my breakfast and see that it's pancakes with whip cream, with strawberries on the side and a glass of jasmine tea. I drool at my breakfast and eat it, savoring it.
