Why ME?! [[ An arranged marriage ; With a Pervert Kankuro ]]

Why me?!
Chapter 2
[[ Matters and Meetings ]]

Mother and father pushed me back into the house and by then I was back to my normal usual self with not so much courage and definitely no more adrenaline pumping through my self, I entered the house red faced like the two previous times I had been captured and brought home. The maids took over from there and brought me to shower, scrubbed me down hard and refused to speak to me about what was going to happen next. I pouted, it wasn't fair! Hai… Now my skin is all red and raw, stupid maids… Scrubbing me harder than usual just because I escaped from their watch AGAIN. Its not my fault that they like to gossip and lose focus right?! Jeez… I let out another sigh as the maid worked on getting me dressed; I was still lost in a train of thought when the maids made a head start for the exit. WELL. They worked fast today, you know girl these clothes look weird and WHY does my head feel so itchy? I looked at myself through the mirror. I screamed; loudly. All the maids charged back into the room and started shooting questions at me like 'what's wrong?' 'What happened?' I looked at myself again and screamed.

By this time now mother was in the room and closing her eyes in a very ‘ GOD-YOUR-IRRITATING ’way, What is it now Yuurimi? Mother asked while rubbing her temples. I could see that she would rather be talking small talk with her son than her little failure but I still had to ask. Can somebody PLEASE tell me why I have two swallows sitting like DUCKS on my head and why I am in this RIDICULOUS kimono?! I yelled, half wanting to strip myself immediately and chuck the outfit in the nearest waste place and half wanted to twirl around in front of the mirror ; I had to admit, I looked pretty. Oh, well if you really wanted to know ; we’re testing out if the kimono suits you, but I guess not… Your bust looks a little too loose, we should have it tightened… All the maids were nodding and giggling at me, I went tomato red in the face and stormed out of the room. I stamped out of the house, which happened to attract quite a few stares from the other servants and relatives , and went out into household forest. As a wealthy family we own quite a piece of land; for once in my entire life I was glad I had a hiding place where I could blot out all the noise and stress.

Delicately, I glided over to where I always settle, squashed in between two huge roots of the biggest cherry tree one can find in konoha. I smile to myself sadly and then bite my lower lip. Who am I kidding? I’m just their play-toy and then I’ll be the play toy for the sissy kitty after I’m married… Who knows? He might also end up hating me… I huff; taking out the 3 senbons from my hair and flinging them at the tree in front of me, 2 hit the same spot. One goes right through. The tears couldn’t be held back any longer, I cry. Whimpering at first but now loud and long, little pearls of tears continuously rolling down my cheek. I felt so utterly sad, I wanted something to hold, I wanted someone to understand and comfort me. I wanted – A hand touched my shoulder and I flinched. Shocked and scared I hicked and stopped crying, biting hard on my lip to keep it all in. It was unknown to me but I was trembling and shaking pretty hard, and subconsciously I had also taken to hugging my knees and rocking myself on the spot.

There there doll… Its alright now ; I’m here… Don’t worry… I flinched again, this PERSON moved his hand to over my shoulders. I didn’t dare to look, his voice was so calm and reassuring, so knightly and protective. [[ Apparently this person was Kankuro the sissy kitty, but I didn’t know so lets keep it shush >3 ]] As he moved closer to me I snuggled up next to him, his body was so warm…I wonder if my to-be husband is like this… I wonder what this boy looks like… He dosen’t sound like anyone I know for sure, he could be YOUNGER than me! My different thoughts clashed together knowing I hated irritating younger people. Did I mention my thoughts had a war and ended up giving me a migraine? I closed my eyes, tired of looking of my own two socked feet. So, how’d you get in here? I asked, irritated by the silence between us and also wondering why security didn’t stop him. I felt him stiffen and smirked to myself. Uh. Well. You see, I came in from the other side and uh... well… I laughed delicately, he sounded so cute stammering. I looked up to him, coincidentally he looked down to me ; I blushed hard, our faces were inches apart! I analyzed what I saw while looking away, chocolate brown eyes, Darker brown hair and an extremely gentle looking face. I swooned slightly, smiling giddily to myself. Sadly the wind shook me out from my childish fantasy; it was getting dark. Doesn’t he have a home to return to? Wont his parents be worried? Why doesn’t he go home?! I thought, panicking slightly before something else he did shocked me even more. Your hair is so unique… The boy said, blowing into my ear. Why didn’t I realize him leaning in on me?! I blushed red, I could feel his body on me ; and at times like this I couldn’t help but feel SMALL. I heard him chuckle softly as he stood up and brushed the dirt off his pants, he smiled down to me and offered me a hand; I smiled a small smile and took his hand still slightly dazed and confused by what just happened. So. Arranged marriage huh? Said the boy to me looking me over AGAIN. I stared at him incredulously. Eyes wide, mouthed opened in the shape of an “ O ” How’d you know?! I asked him, slightly breathless. He looked at me as though I was stupid or retarded. I looked at him blankly, waiting for an answer. Your front gate was decorated and so was the fence and SO was the house and … My knees went soft, how many more days till the meeting again? Oh yes; it was tomorrow, I completely forgot. Oh my god. Oh my god oh my god. I sharply took in a breath of air and choked, They needed to mend the kimono! Hey… Are you okay? The boy asked looking at the Little ‘ Doll ’ choke on air , I smiled at him uncertainly. Look, ahaha… I really REALLY appreciate you keeping me company and I really REALLY think I already fell for you BUT I GOT to GO. Like now. So… Yup. See ya~ I said hastily as I tried to make my way out of his sight. He chuckled at me and smiled ; at that point I swear I could have swooned. Just relax! He shouted over to me as I stumbled out of the forest, I giggled to myself and looked back. The boy was gone. I still smiled to myself unconsciously when I reached the main block of the household. Mother started screaming at me when she was what a mess I was in and how dirty the kimono was but I just smiled at her. I didn’t care about the kimono anymore I just wanted to meet the boy again. While I changed out of the kimono to my ninja outfit I sang the birds song, something I had learnt while sitting at my hiding spot. Pink canaries were such wonderful companions. The maids that passed by all stopped to listen, and soon they grouped around the door ; whispering that I had gone crazy with frustration at the arranged marriage. Some wept silently for me but I just smiled at them when I got out to prepare for dinner. Oddly, mother kept quiet after that smile, she also told brother and father about my strange behavior. I ended up with getting odd looks from my brother and parents at dinner. I just continued to smile, the feeling that now engulfed me was unstoppable. It made me happy beyond words and tears! The ONLY thing I could do was to smile. Mother and father came over to my room after dinner and took my temperature and called for the physician. They wanted to check if I had caught some unknown disease after going out. I just laughed, delicate silver bells sounding in the slight breeze. So this sweet feeling is first love huh?
