Pride and Prejudice
It was a beautiful sunny day in Konoha. As I walked down the street, intently reading romance, the birds chirped over me. All was good, and I had no idea what awaited for me at home.
Once I walked through the door and shut my book, giggles erupted. Oh yes, my sisters in all four of them, ran through the house. Good news must be here today, thank god. Our father followed slowly behind them and sat down on his comfy chair; I seated myself of the old, threadbare couch and watched the ruckus. My second oldest sister, Raidon, walked calmly in. She was beautiful, glittering honey blonde hair and natural caramel highlights. If that wasn't enough, her gorgeous blue eyes would most certainly be. She wore her hair up today and a grayish dress that covered her feet.
She spotted me and stood next to me, her grace almost floating toward whoever it reached. "Oh, Raidon, what is going on here?"
Raidon looked at me and grinned, "You were late little Aiko, so you don't know?" My interest peaked, "What, do us finally have new furniture?" Raidon chuckled and shook her head. "No, little sister, Mr. Hyuga, Mr. Sabaku, and Ms. Hyuga are coming and staying for a month at on estate at an estate Mr. Sabaku owns."
I was confused, these names, I knew were much known. Yes, I knew who they were, but they meant nothing to me.
But I still acted excited, "How exciting! Will they be at the dance tonight?" Raidon nodded as Éclair, the youngest sister, spoke up excitedly, "Will we see Mr. Hyuga there, Papa?"
I saw father nod and smile as a new set of squeals and giggles erupted. I started laughing and Raidon smoothed my black hair.
…
As my sisters get ready, I glanced at each one. They were all so beautiful, of course there was Raidon. But there was also Lycan, her medium length black and red hair. Something when she was born made her have gorgeous ruby red eyes and tipped points on her ears. She wore a pastel red dress. Éclair has short brown hair with what seems like custard tips. Her eyes were a brilliant violent. She wore a baby blue dress, then there was Nikki; she had below the shoulder chocolate brown hair and wonderful deep blue eyes. She wore a darker blue dress,
All our dresses had some kind of lace on the bottom, or on the sleeves. Raidon held my hand as we walked to the carriage and all the way to the medium sized estate. We were almost ushered in as my two younger sisters went off to dance.
Lycan went to find a piano, and Raidon and I went to join in on the dance. After a while Raidon dragged me off the dance floor and onto the sidelines.
"I wonder when they'll be here." I heard Raidon say and I responded with a shrug.
Then, if almost on cue, the dancing and music faded to a halt. Then, the dance crowd parted with haste and there they stood. There were indeed two men and a younger woman as said.
They were all dressed very handsomely. I caught mother gawking at the richness of their clothing and chuckled. I leaned over and placed my cheek on Raidon's shoulder. "I think they have arrived."
I heard Raidon whisper to me. My gaze focused on the red-head. "Yes, but the one in the middle looks rich, but miserable. Like he's going to start a brawl," Raidon laughed and said back, "Indeed at least the others look tolerable!"
We laughed at how they looked out of place, But when they passed we stopped. The red-head caught my eye again. Odd.
(Gaara's POV)
As my trio walked through the isle the parted dances had made, I noticed someone in my side vision. She was staring at me and I did a double take. She was dressed in a commoner's grey with lace at the top. She had ink black hair put in a braided bun and gleaming pale blue eyes.
Beside her a girl with dirty blond hair put up in a similar fashion and murky blue eyes.
We kept walking and I noticed Neji on my left eyeing the blonde. I smirked; he already had his eye on someone. As we halted on the back of the dim room, my eyes flitted over the blue eyed girl.
I couldn't stop…she was a magnet for my eyes. The same applied to Neji and this me smile subtly.
We weren't at the 'Party' for more than fifteen minutes; when suddenly a blonde, older woman with large bust and vicious eyes brought up three young ladies. Among them, the stunning, blue eyed young woman. The older blonde stepped up and curtsied, " I am Tsunade, these are my daughters."
She pointed to a girl I didn't see before. She had medium black and red hair, odd ruby red eyes, and strange pointed ears, though she wasn't ugly, just something struck me as odd. "This is Lycan Thrope, my eldest daughter." She curtsied, not even looking up.
"Next is Raidon Cathrina." The blonde with mysterious blue eyes, Neji smiled at her she curtsied and blushed. "Raidon is second eldest, very fair."
Tsunade must've noticed the smiling and blushing exchange. "And Aiko Ookami third eldest, I have two others, Nikki Nara and Éclair, but their dancing." She chuckled but I found nothing funny in this.
Neji stepped forward and nodded his head, "I am Neji Hyuga, this is my friend, Gaara Sabaku, and my cousin, Hinata Hyuga." I saw the blue eyed girl, Aiko, I think; linger on my face with her eyes. I felt like squirming under her gaze – I was in fact quite shy – but resisted.
Hinata curtsied politely and Tsunade seemed pleased with the exchange of information. She and her daughters curtsied then sauntered off.
My eyes followed Aiko as Neji's followed Raidon. Odd.
