'great just great I can't be a bride now.' I sighed as I walked out of the Kimi Shrine.
I couldn't believe this was happening..... I walked across Konoha sighing ' How am I going to tell my parents and my family about this.... If I do then they'll be embarrassed by me... and if I don't and they'll the asked the ugly dragon lady and she'll say that I failed then they'll be disappointed and still be embarrassed by me...oh what am I going to do.' I thought. I sighed once again...and I wasn't looking where I was going and I ran into someone. I looked up and saw Naruto......
“ Oh Naruto It's you... I'm sorry I ran into I was just thinking that's all.” I stated in apology.
“ Hey Lina It's all right so how did the exam go? Are you going to be a bride of a Ninja and then maybe we could get married and then I could teach you to be a Ninja and your parents wouldn't Kn.... Hey what's wrong?” Naruto asked concernedly.
“ I didn't pass naruto... I failed the exam, I failed my family... and I failed the family I was supposed to marry into.” I cried. I felt a Hand on my shoulder I looked up and saw Naruto looking at me with concern.
“ It's okay Lina I'm sure your family will understand...maybe it's not your destiny to become a bride but to become a ninja. That maybe your fate and destiny....” he told me.
“ How do you know some much on fate and destiny?” I asked.
“ I have a friend that believes that kind of stuff. You should go see him...ask him about it I'm sure he'll tell you what your fate is.... he knew about mine and then realized it was wrong.” Naruto stated.
“ Really you think that this guy could help me about this?” I asked
“ Yeah he should if he doesn't then I don't know what to tell you...” Naruto laughed.
“ So do you know where he lives?” I asked.
“ Yeah here let me help you up and I'll show you there..” Naruto told me as he held out his hand and helped me up. Then we started to head to this friend of his. Once we finally stopped I noticed the house we stopped at it wasn't a house it was a compound. The only families who have compounds are the Uchiha's and Hyuuga's. And since the Uchiha's died out only leaving 2 survivors.... so this would have to be the Hyuuga's. We walked down the path and we saw a girl with medium length hair and pale snowy eyes.
“ Hey Hinata Is Neji here I have a friend here that needs to talk to him about something. So do ya know where he's at?” Naruto asked the girl known as Hinata.
“ Oh...Na..Naru...Naruto uh...Yes He's training I'll go get him.... you can walk around the compound if you like” the girl said to me. I just nodded, I started to walk and I found my self at a mirror house with grave stones this must be the sacred house where they talk to there lost ones. I sighed and sat down on my knee's. ' Please even though your not my ancestors please help me....' I thought....
I sighed once again and started to sing....
“look at me
i will never pass for a perfect bride, or a perfect daughter
can it be I'm not meant to play this part
now i see that if i were truly to be myself
i would break my families heart
Who is that girl I see
staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone i don't know
some how i can not hide
who i am, though I've tried
when will my reflection show who i am inside
when will my reflection show who i am inside” I sang.....
“ What are you doing in here?!?” yelled a male voice.... I turned my head to the owner of the voice and saw a young man with long chestnut hair and the same pale snowy eyes as the Hinata girl had.
“ Oh I'm sorry I was...I was... I was just.... praying....” I stumbled trying to convince that I wasn't spying...
“ psh....Yeah right now I'll ask again what are you doing in here.” He yelled.
“ I'm sorry if I've upset you....but I was just wondering around the compound waiting for a guy named Neji and I ended up in here so I though I would pray to your ancestors for help even though there not mine....” I sated.
“ Okay so what did you want with me....” the boy asked.
“ whoa...wait your Neji?...” I asked.
“ Yeah what did you need to talk about Naruto said it was important.” He explained.
“ I need you to help me with my fate...I don't exactly know where I stand in my life.” I confessed.
“ How can you not know your own fate...” He asked.
“ well I don't know every one in my family says that my fate was to be the best and beautiful bride in my generation in my family. But I didn't pass this stupid bride exam at the Kimi Shrine” I explained to him.
“ sooo... your family can't control your fate only destiny can.... and obversely your not meant to be a bride... why do you need to be a bride anyway?” He asked.
“ Well it's family tradition that every women in my family becomes a bride to a ninja. And we can't become one either.” I stated.
“ oh.. Well maybe your not meant to be a bride and your family has to accept that...I accepted my fate to protect Hinata.” He told me.
“ so what am I supposed to be?” I asked the chestnut haired boy in front of me.
“ Look Lina I was only to help you with your fate issue I can't see the future and tell you what your meant to be.”
“ Hey how did you know that my name was...”
“ Naruto said your name...and your that girl he was talking about so I just assumed that your name was Lina.” He told me as he got up and started to walk out of the mirror shrine but before he walked out the door he turned around and said. “ Lina You can change your destiny if you really want to prove your self to your family...That's what I did.” Neji stated then walked out of the shrine. I sighed taking everything he told me...Maybe he's right maybe I'm not supposed to be a bride.
I stood up and started to walk out of the shrine. I walked towards my family grounds, I noticed that there was a whole bunch of families surrounded my house. I walked through the crowd and saw Shikamaru, Kiba, and Naruto standing around.
“ Hey guys what going on why is everyone in Konoha here?” I asked.
“ Lina You didn't hear? There's going to be a war with the sound country” stated Kiba.
“What!?!?!?....No did they call my father...Hya Mushu (don't ask I couldn't think of anything.)”
I asked. I was hoping that they didn't have to call my father.....
“ No not yet...” says Shikamaru.
“*sigh* oh good.”
“ Hya...Mushu..” I gasped no this can't be happening... I saw my father walk up the general on the horse about to grab the scroll.
“ NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I yelled I ran up and stopped my father form grabbing the scroll.
“ Lina what are you doing.” stated my father.
“ Please sir don't let my father go into war....He's not well....Please...” I exclaimed
“ Lina Please let go...I'm alright and I will be glade to die for my village...that's what a great shinobi does.” My father told me then he grabbed the scroll.
~Later at diner.~
“Please Father reconsider. I don't want you to go to war...Your not well...you could die even before you even go into battle please don't go.” I pleaded.
“ No Lina I will go to war with the sound I will be glade to die for Konoha...and to protect my family. Now that's the end of discussion let's carry on with our dinner.” my father stated and continued eating.
“ So Lina how did the exam go at the Kimi Shrine?” asked my mother. 'Oh crap what do I say'
“ Oh the exam it went well.....I guess” I said flatly.
“ Oh really so...when are you going to become a bride?” she asked.
“ uh..you see about that....lets just say I'm not bride material..” I stated. At that point every one had stopped eating to look at me.
“ What do you mean?” asked my grandmother.
“ well you see I'm not really bride material” I stated once again.
“ what do you mean your not 'bride material?'” asked my mother.
“ well...she said I would never become a bride...and I guess that's my destiny is to not become a bride.” I explained.
“ What do you mean it's your destiny of course it's your destiny to become a bride...it's every womens destiny to become a bride...”
“ I guess It's not just my destiny I guess My fate decided to choose something else for me.” I explained once again.
“ NO!!! fate can not decide for you...your family can” my Mother exclaimed. As she stood up.
“ NO You can't You can't decide my own fate only I can walk the path of my fate by my self not with my family and my clan holding my hand the whole way...It's my fate not yours why can't you see that I'm Not bride material...that I'm not meant to be a bride. That I'm meant for something else.” I stated. As I stood up in front of my mom. With that I excused my self and walked out side to our ancestors shrine. I sighed I wanted to become a ninja...maybe that's what I'm meant to be...
