They tell me it is my 88th birthday today and I know that I will not survive the day, my reunion with my beloved husband, lover, best friend and cousin only a short while away. I have heard rumors about the relationship I had with Neji, the lies that I forced him into bondage because I was of the main family and knew how to use the curse grossly misstated. I would like to tell you how the story truly unfolded, how the simple daughter that was expected to live her life in simplicity as a member of the one time branch house rose above those expectations and became the most powerful head the clan had ever seen...
