'lost in the moment, can't you see

A cool breeze rustled the lush treetops overhead, shifting layers of thick fog through the air and between myriad buildings. There were hardly any people to be seen so late at night, but those that dared to skulk Kirigakure's streets appeared like ghostly silhouettes gliding through the mists. The occasional howl of drunkards from afar or the shouting of crewmen by the docks served as a reminder that the village was more alive than its haunting atmosphere suggested. 

All in all, what a great night to celebrate~ 

Makoto had been in a rush this evening, clearly testing the limits of her speed evident by the way she was panting for breath. Yet she dared not be late! With some kind of special package secure in one arm, she raced to her destination at a breakneck pace that put even her dogs to shame. Those rapscallions weren't far behind though, the rapid pattering of their footfalls shadowing the jounin's speeding steps. 

Then she spotted her target - the Mizuno household.

Disregarding any notion of using the front door, Makoto jumped her way into the backyard instead. Once there, she wiped a brow and sniffed around, trying to suss out if there were any other visitors. It was just a precaution but she knew it in her gut that nobody would come knocking at this hour anyway. Confident in her assumption, the Inuzuka bounded straight over to the closest entryway, be it door or window, and poked her way inside. 

"Nobuuuu!" she called out in a hushed tone, oblivious to the genin's whereabouts. "Ya still awake?" It took a minute for her vision to adjust to the dim lighting coming from the interior, but Makoto waltzed in anyway. As if karma was repaying her for the midnight intrusion, she bumped right into a table and stumbled onto all-fours, causing a loud thud that could be heard throughout the household.
