Sakamei Senju was always a quiet person, never uttering more than ten words a day, but when her mother Lanamei Senju, a famous singer known worldwide, passed away at the age of thirty from an unknown disease that affected her vision, just like Sakamei's, she knew she had to do more to reassure her father and older siblings that she would live her life to the fullest, even if it didn't last long. So she decided to enroll to Konoha High School.

Chapter One: Happy Beginnings
Sakamei stood silently, waiting as her nineteen year old sister, Toph, tried to fix her long hair into a style that wouldn't result in it being stepped on as Sakamei walked down the halls of her new school. Konoha High School, Sakamei thought to herself. She had always been home schooled by her eldest brother Jux, who at the age of twenty-one spent his time teaching her all he knew instead of looking for a possible wife, which their father did not like completely.
Toph smiled at Sakamei in the mirror, her waist length white hair framing her glinting gray-blue eyes shining like their father's had when their mother would become so determined to get better at her English that she would repeat the word she had trouble with for hours without end until she ran out of breath. Sakamei returned her smile, but she couldn't help her brows from furrowing. She was nervous, and she hadn't even set a foot in the school.
"What do you think? I tried to do it just like Mama used to, but the chignon isn't as perfect as hers used to be," she said lips pursing slightly as she observed her work. Sakamei did the same. The chignon was slightly messy, but at least it was straight. The hair that could not fit into the bun was hanging loosely down her back, falling down to the back of her knees.
"It's fine, To-nee-chan," she replied. She then looked to her new uniform. It consisted of a solid dark vest, a white three-quarter button down collared shirt, a black tie, and a pleated dark gray skirt that Mika, her twenty year old brother, thought was "so short a six-foot tall guy could see under it". She sighed at her brother's protectiveness and smoothed the front of her skirt. It wasn't that short.
Toph placed her hands on her shoulders. "You look very presentable. Now that you are dressed we can go downstairs and get breakfast. Mato made your favorite." She continued talking, but Sakamei was too nervous to listen. She slid her hand along the wall, watching her foot fall on each step. She did this every time she came down.
Mato stood at the stove, wearing a pale green frilly apron without a care. As usual his snow white ponytail sat on his shoulder, and his signature smile was on his face, making it seem as if his eyes were completely closed. He turned to Toph and Sakamei as they entered.
"My, my, you look lovely," he said in his sing-songy voice. He always seemed to be happy, and Sakamei didn't think she had ever seen him smile once, not even at the funeral. Sakamei frowned to herself, but only for a fraction of a second before smiling and replying to Toph's twin.
"Arigato, Mato-nii-chan." She sat at the table next to Toph, across from a pouting Mika. He was still very upset about two things: Sakamei's decision to go to a public school and her skirt. "Ohayou, Mi-nii-chan," she said, offering him a smile. He stayed where he was, arms crossed over his chest and a sheathed katana in the crook of his arm.
"Ohayou," he said grudgingly, his messy white hair glinting in the light from the window. He hated not getting his way, and he now harbored two defeats. Toph began to speak when loud yawning came from the doorway. Krix, their eighteen year old brother with straight white hair, walked into the kitchen arms stretched above his head. He was a bit hyper, and the sweet dumplings he ate everyday didn't help one bit.
"Ohayou!" he said as he sat next to Mika. Everyone responded to him, except Mika replied. Krix, being as playful as he was, stared at Mika for a while, then, smiling, began poking him repeatedly in the cheek. Mika was his favorite target in the family, and he bothered him whenever he could. Mika's eyebrow twitched and Krix continued his act of bothering him. Everyone knew what came next. Mika jumped up and pointed straight at Krix.
"I WILL KILL YOU!" he screamed, as Krix's smile widened and Mato, smiling as usual, kept their angry brother from strangling the bothersome other.
"Hai, hai, Mika. That's enough from you, Krix. You've made your point this morning." Mika sat fuming as Jux walked into the kitchen, sitting next to Toph. He was the palest in the family, next to their father who was away at the moment, and his shoulder length hair was whiter than Sakamei's, his ocean blue eyes contrasting greatly. He was always silent, but when he spoke everyone listened. Though it didn't seem so, he offered a smile at times. He offered a greeting before slowly sipping the coffee Mato sat before him.
This was the daily routine at the Senju residence, only Sakamei was going to school for the first time.
