Prologue:

'But why can't I go to the Academy, mom?' If the small girl of five could speak, she would be whining.

"You know very well why, Anrui. We've gone over this a million times; I'm not going to explain it again." A tall, beautiful woman responded verbally to her daughter's signed whine.

'It shouldn't matter hat I can't speak! I can form the correct hand signs and I can even perform Bunshin no Jutsu—Aki taught Ben and me!'

"Just give it up, Ru. They've already made their decision; there's no changing their minds," Akino said, shaking his head as he sighed and placed a gentle hand on his little sister's shoulder. At seventeen, he was the oldest of the five Tsubame children, and currently the most reasonable. Although he personally thought Anrui should be allowed to enter the Academy, he knew it was pointless to continue arguing with their parents. Besides, she still had two years until she'd be able to start.

Anrui shrugged of her brother's hand and glared at their mother before turning her glare to Akino. 'I'll find a way to convince them, just you wait and see,' she signed angrily before stalking off to her room.


A/N: The aim for this story is for it to be a Choji love story.
I realize this is short, but so far, all I have for this story
is this prologue and a few random snippets here and
there without any place to really put them. With any
luck, further chapters will be longer.

I've been working on this for a few months, but
haven't been able to get much further than this, so
I decided to post it, hoping that I might gain further
inspiration knowing that people (besides my friends)
are reading it.

Any criticism and encouragement is greatly welcomed!
