Tying The Knot [Wedding Event]

The young genin had awoken to find her mother shaking her away in an excited manner with her younger brother jumping on her bed. She was still groggy while her mother awoke her and tried to explain something to her. However she shook her head for a minute then yawned loudly before allowing her mother to tell her the exciting news. A wedding was to happen in the village, and although usually that news wouldn't be to enlarged or important this was a wedding of the Hyuuga family line which is known with very extravagant and tightly closed events only the best known shinobi were allowed to gain access too. With this news Hitomi herself felt it still wasn't of much importance towards what it had to do with her family since they weren't part of such family lines however it was more on explained how she was invited as a guest. A guest towards the decor or the flower adornments.

For a while she was confused when her mother explained that. Why would she of all the shinobi, especially the younger shinobi be invited to be such a high order for a genin. She took a minute to look over the letter her mother had in her hands on the subject. She read it over and was in mostly shock. With her mother there to explain on the subject more so it would make some sense to the girl however it still puzzled her how she of all people was invited. Not to mention with a quick flick her mother was off to get a fairly over done attire probably to adorn the poor child in. She looked at the letter over and over for a while with her brother ceasing his jumping to read with her. He had a hard time reading it so she had to explain a few things to him as much as she could but was still odd felt on the situation.

She finally got out of bed but not before her mother came back in with an over done old and tattered kimono in her arms. She flinched at the sight of it and denied wanting to wear it at all. With that her father finally entered and pointed out the holes in the dress wouldn't suit a wedding, saving Hitomi the displeasure of wearing such an old, outdated, and over done outfit. Instead he offered the idea of a simple kimono with the colors of the clan the Hyuuga have, that way she'd seem more fitting. With that her mother agreed in a quick sense and even though Hitomi was still in a daze from waking up she decided to just go with it. With it her father took her younger brother from her room and left her mother to fix her up with such an event. With that after hours of hair pulling, pins and needles, and of course the akward itch and squeeze of an outfit only to be worn once and never again rang off. She didn't mind being dressed up and all, it was just the hassle of dealing with her mother's over done type of style. She constantly had to remind her mother to take it easy on herself. With that she was ready for the task at hand, however this wasn't some sort of mission.

She was brought to the the place in which the parchment was told to meet at and soon met face to someone who told her to meet with the bride and not anyone else within her own family was allowed to follow her. With that she waved to them as a goodbye for the time and followed the directions to the said place, standing outside the bride room's door as per courtesy. She awaited for someone or something to do, but all she could do was wait there. She had hoped the bride would recognize her from the letter that was sent, but one never can know until something was to happen. It was then that she saw the bride going down the hallway with her servant. She decided to follow her and ask her on the question. "Miss? Excuse me but, I had received your letter? The one of accompanying you during the runway of the flowers?" She asked towards Kali, known as the bride.

She looked up to the bride as she turned towards herself. She was a beautiful bride at that, it was no wonder she was to be married. It wasn't even to mention her calm appearance towards herself. Her smile was followed by Hitomi's own calm smile, it was so at ease and it was like she could trust her by mere looks alone, of course that wasn't smart but it felt that way. She then slightly bowed her head towards her as if in respect before returning her sight to her in reply.

"It wasn't to much of a problem, and please don't feel in the wrong for it." She said looking up to her whilst trying to fix her hair so it wouldn't be so itchy, the way her mother dressed her hair always felt uncomfortable. "I'm Hitomi Shiruku, you probably haven't heard of my father but my mother is from the Star Clan, so perhaps it sounds familiar?" She thought on it, her father was merely just another shinobi like anyone. No clan or known for much so she never expected his name to come anywhere towards attention, however anytime her mother's name came in the picture it was well known and could be anywhere from known to feared or even hated, however that was how names went and not by the person themselves. How sad that way was for life, to follow your name, not yourself.

She nodded to her walking alongside her. "Well most of their practices were banned long ago, so the clan is dwindling slowly. But atleast it's apparent you've heard of them." She continued on with a small smile. She tried to press her dress down to stop it from pocketing air and blowing against itself. "It was a clan that used a sort of mysterious rock to enhance their chakra. Some said it was cheating but I've seen clans do that before with no fingers pointing at them." She spoke as her arms folded over in a little frustration. It wasn't she who got the brunt of said clan, but hear about it to her brother who was part of that lineage did tick her off.

"Anyhow, so other people tried to steal the rock for power, then the clan tore at itself about the rock, and finally after a rush of just nothing but stupid power hungry people the clan was banned from using it due to it's control over individuals." She shrugged slightly then went on to quell down a moment to let the information take in. She didn't mind talking about it, more so she was irritated on how stupid it was. Not the fact of the clan's existence but the bickering over said power, It was no better than the bicker over eyes from certain clans or blood either.

"If anything I hope you don't need to worry on that stupid stuff...it makes me almost happy I had no clan lineage cause of my dad." She said looking up at her, she knew the Hyuuga had a similar dilemma and were careful on it. However how dire it was for truth always gave worry to it. One must protect themselves for the village, that alone was worrisome. Your death could jeopardize more than just you and your family.

She watched the older individual seeming to understand and actually listen to the topic in a calm manner. It was peaceful even for such a sad idea, perhaps this is why she was the ideal bride to that man, because of some sort of understanding even when not being through with such or being through with better outcomes. She smiled a little from the calm atmosphere given here. A place she never knew about, a person she never met before, and a clan she never got to know, however here she was chatting as if it was a natural thing. Of course though she still knew the reality that she had no idea where they were going, only hoping that the other did as they went along. Her confusion wasn't really shown however, she was content in her emotions. Sorta like a closed flower trying to open it's petals to the sun.

She took the time to listen to the question and for a while she stayed silent with her smiled flickering off. "I just want to get stronger to protect my family..." She mumbled then became quiet once more. Many would think being a Genin was boring or fun. Either which way no harm was to come to them right? No trouble from being safe within the walls, and caring for the village they lived in. However her case wasn't as such. It wasn't that she hated being a shinobi but she hated what had happened. What happened obviously hurt her internally, and so like the leaves of a sleepy plant or well known as a "touch me not", she closed herself in once more. Keeping to her shell due to her fears of weakness within herself. It's as if she opens herself a little to try to get the sunlight but as soon as someone tries to touch the inner most part of her personal life she closes in an instant and becomes harder to open up.
