I'm such a little fame whore. I told myself I was going to wait a week before I posted this, you know, set up a routine since I have a couple chapters written. I couldn't. I can't hold myself. Meanwhile, listening to "Can't Be Tamed" by Miley Cyrus. Doesn't match the chapter but, I'm feeling dirty right now. Anyway, READ! ENJOY! REVIEW!

Water Country

KawaiixKisses

Chapter Two - Year Two: Impertinent

A year had gone by quickly and Hinata had grown used to the Fire Country and if she had to admit it, she'd say she rather liked it. No, it did not match the beauty of the Water Country, but it was still beautiful nonetheless.

Its flowers were gorgeous and brought a smile to her face when she had first seen them a year ago. The landscape was a lot different from what she was used to in the Water Country. For one, there were trees everywhere – everything was green. Hinata liked that. The Fire Country was not at all like what she had heard in the stories. It was beautiful and peaceful.

Hinata had snuck out of the palace one morning after breakfast. Itachi had "royal" business to take care of and would not be able to "play with her" as he liked to say. Hinata had come to like Itachi a great deal. It wasn't at all in a romantic sense, no, she thought of him as her friend. Her only friend other than Sakura. She was always grateful whenever he had time to "come out and play" with her.

Today she was alone, like on most days. She stood in the pond at the center of the garden, her sandals tossed in the grass and holding the skirt of her yukata up over her knees. The water was cool against her feet and legs just as it always was. The princess buried her toes in the sand, smiling happily to herself.

It was strange in a way. A year ago she had been terrified of the Fire Country and believed she would be miserable here. She wasn't any of those. In fact, she was happy – to an extent. She spent a lot of her time alone and would be liar if she said she did not miss her family back home. She hadn't seen them since the wedding last year. Itachi and her once year anniversary was in a few days and they were having a royal celebration. Hinata was excited for it simply because of the fact that her family had been invited.

She ached for them often. If she was to be honest with herself, she had forgotten what they looked like – she only remembered characteristics that stood out about them. Like their milk white eyes and raven colored hair. She remembered Hiashi and Neji being tall and feral in their stances. Hanabi was lean and strong though still beautiful and taller than her older sister by a few inches. Hinata missed them all dearly and was excited for their visit. She wanted them to know that she was happy and being treated well here; she especially wanted Neji to know that. Her cousin had been angry the day of her wedding. His emotions were schooled perfectly, but Hinata understood him well. He was livid that night. His embrace before they parted the next morning for their journey back to the Water Country was long and tight. She could tell he was in a lot of pain at losing her to the "enemy". Hinata wanted more than anything to tell Neji that she was fine, that everything was fine and for him not to worry over her.

As she thought about it, the time was coming for Neji to wed. He was twenty-three now which was the normal time in the Water Country for men, especially of royal heritage, to marry. Hinata remembered that he had been infatuated with one of the noblemen's daughters, though could not remember the girl's name. She was older than Hinata though, the same age as Neji. Hinata wondered if that girl had already been wed. It was not uncommon for the women to be wed years before the men of their age were. Though when she thought of it, Hinata would not be surprised if the nobleman saved his daughter's hand especially for Neji. No one would pass up the opportunity to wed their child into the royal family, especially since it was common knowledge that Neji was to be Emperor after Hiashi stepped down and not Hinata or Hanabi.

"Kotaishihi!" a voice called from the other side of the garden.

Hinata looked up from her feet and turned to find her rose-haired companion running through the garden and towards her.

"Kotaishihi, what are you doing out here by yourself?" Sakura asked her, staring at her oddly.

Hinata blushed lightly, a little embarrassed to be caught doing what she was. "Nothing, I was merely relaxing my feet," she said to the pinkette, slowly climbing out of the pond.

Sakura watched as the princess sat down in the grass, her feet wet from the pond. "You'll catch a cold," she said to her worriedly.

"Hn? Perhaps…" Hinata said, looking down at her feet. "But I have you to take care of me, right Sakura-chan?"

Sakura pouted a little as the princess began to smile and giggle. She was adorable in a way that reminded Sakura of a child. Often, she found herself wanting to coddle the princess and take care of her but she had to remind herself that Hinata was nineteen years old, an adult already. If only the princess wasn't so cute then she might be able to tell her 'no' from time to time.

"Hai, hai," Sakura said, letting out an exasperated sigh and sitting beside her in the grass.

She looked to Hinata's wet feet then to her yukata. It was modest, given the fact that she was the crowned princess, yet Hinata still manage to appear regal.

"You are aware that the prince is coming home this week, yes?" Sakura asked, folding her legs beneath her.

Hinata's brow furrowed a bit. "The prince? Itachi-kun?"

Sakura rolled her eyes. "No, the other prince. Kotaishi-sama's younger brother."

"Huh?"

Since when did Itachi have a sibling? He had never told Hinata this, nor had anyone else bothered to mention it in the year that she had been in the palace.

"Koutei-sama has two children – Itachi and Sasuke. Sasuke has been away for a year doing military service, now he's coming back home and in time for the celebration."

"Oh. Hn…" Hinata answered softly. Vaguely, she wondered why everyone had failed to mention this tiny bit of information to her. The princess let it go however; she couldn't say that she was that interested in him. She was sure he was a nice guy, just like his elder brother.

Sasuke had only been home for three hours and he was already pissed off. It seems that a year had not caused anyone in the palace to grow up or change. He found himself wishing he could go back to the Lightening Country. The people there were a lot more civil.

"Ouji-kun!"

Sasuke heaved a sigh. Why were the maids so fucking annoying here?

"I'm so glad you're back!"

"I missed you!"

"You've come back to me!"

One by one, the three maids and his biggest fans all attached themselves to his arms and torso. Sasuke rolled his eyes, extremely annoyed by them. He had just suffered a two week journey back from the Lightening Country, wasn't it obvious that he would be tired now? Apparently these women weren't capable of common sense. He let out an exasperated sigh and began prying their arms from his.

"Sasuke."

The male looked up, still pulling his arms free of the two women who held onto him. There before him was the person he had probably missed the most. Sakura – his best and only friend in the palace, other than a certain blonde who he was fortunate enough not to run into yet.

She was looking at him with an expression he had remembered, exasperation. She always seemed annoyed with him and Naruto – Naruto especially – and it seemed that a year apart did not change that.

"Ino, Katsumi, Dara… Let go of the prince. He's had a long journey and –"

"Ehh? Sakura, don't go around thinking you're better than anyone! You just want Ouji-kun to yourself," the blonde – Ino – snarled.

Sakura rolled her eyes. Ino would have been right, ten years ago, but Sakura's heart belonged to someone else currently.

"Nobody wants Ouji-sama but you all," she said, putting emphasis on 'sama'. "However, it's obvious the feeling isn't mutual. Now, get back to work before I report you all and have your hours doubled and cleaning up after the celebration this week."

Ino glared hard at the pinkette and let go of Sasuke's arm, albeit reluctantly. The other two followed their leader's example and walked out of the hallway behind her as she brushed past Sakura and Hinata who had been giggling as the events unfolded before her.

"Thanks," Sasuke said grumpily, straightening out his clothes.

He was dressed as any shinobi would be, only be wore the colors of the Uchiha clan, a large fan printed on the back of his shirt. His dark eyes looked over his best friend, noting the subtle changes in her features. She was slightly taller and looked a bit older. Her hair had grown out as well. She no longer sported that messy mop she had last year. From what he could see, it looked as though it was to her shoulders now. His dark eyes shifted from her and to the woman who stood beside her.

Hm. He didn't recognize her. He didn't usually remember the names of the maids who worked in the palace but he at least remembered their faces. She was probably new. He noticed her eyes before anything else. They were different from the eyes he normally saw. They were like diamonds, pure and transparent almost – the whitest things he had ever seen. Did she even have pupils? He studied them a while longer. Then, he noticed her hair. It was darker than black to be honest. He was sure that in all of the Fire Country, no one had darker hair than the Uchiha clan but this maid was proving that theory incorrect. Her yukata, however, was a bit much considering she was only a maid. It looked expensive, like it was made from the finest material. Hm.

"Sakura. Who is this?" He asked, his eyes leaving her and focusing on the pinkette.

Sakura looked down at Hinata who was smiling pleasantly, waiting to be introduced. "Uchiha Hinata-sama – Kotaishihi. Formally known as Hyuuga Hinata, the hime of the Water Country."

Ah. So that was it. She was a Hyuuga. The hime of the Water Country. So then that meant she was Itachi's wife. He had heard while overseas that his brother was getting married to the daughter of the Water Country's emperor. He hadn't been interested at the time but now he was most certainly curious. She was…different. He had seen Hyuuga before when he was in the Lightening Country, but he had never met one that was a direct descendent of the royal family – they had all been distant relatives, nothing to really fawn over but they all seemed to think differently.

She was a lot prettier than he had expected as well. Sasuke wasn't sure why, but he had expected her to be marred with scars since she was a trained shinobi like the rest of her family. The women in the Uchiha Clan weren't required to train as shinobi even if they did have chakra control. The Uchiha were more traditional than the other clans but it surprised him that a clan as old as the Hyuuga was not the same.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ouji-sama," Hinata said to him, bowing politely.

Sasuke returned the gesture, looking at her once more as they straightened once more. "Hinata-san, tell me, you have the Byakugan right?"

Hinata's eyes widened. That was a bit of a surprise. In the year that she had been in the palace, no one had asked of her kekkei genkai and she had only used it a number of times. To be honest, she was a little surprised that he even thought to ask her that. Everyone in the main family of the Hyuuga Clan possessed the Byakugan; the bloodline had skipped no one.

"Hn. I-I do... Why do you ask?"

"I've never seen one in battle."

Hinata stared at him. "Eh?"

"Sasuke…" Sakura warned; an edge to her voice as she stared at him with a furrowed brow.

Sasuke ignored the pinkette, his attention solely on the Hyuuga. "You're a shinobi yes? Fight me."

Huh? Hinata was deeply confused. It turns out Sasuke was nothing like Itachi. Itachi was calmer and a lot more pleasant to be around whereas Sasuke was more blunt and straight to the point. Itachi, if he was, showed no interest in her Byakugan but Sasuke on the other hand was seemingly intrigued.

"A-ano… That doesn't sound like… a good idea," Hinata answered him, her voice soft and uncertain.

"Tch. Should have known," Sasuke said, folding his arms across his chest.

"Wh-what's that supposed to mean?" Hinata asked, her brow creasing slightly.

Sasuke found the action to be rather cute. Such a tiny and seemingly delicate woman looked ridiculous making that kind of face.

"Hyuuga are known for their arrogance, I should have known that it wasn't backed by anything. All talk and no action."

Hyuuga are known for their arrogance.

All talk and no action.

Hinata frowned. "Don't you d-dare talk about the Hyuuga as if you know a-anything," she warned him.

Sasuke only kissed his teeth again. "I know enough. All you people do is – "

"You people? Just who the h-hell do you think you're t-talking to?" Hinata asked, angrily, a little surprised at her choice of words. "The Hyuuga are incredibly strong! Y-you wouldn't know anything..."

Sasuke suppressed the urge to laugh in her face. She looked so adorable, pouting and telling him off like that. It was unexpected from someone who looked like she did. She even had that little stutter. Sasuke wasn't sure why, but he was enjoying picking with her. It was like pulling a rabbit by it's ears and watching as it angrily bit at your arm, snapping and growling at you. Did rabbits growl? Sasuke wasn't sure, but watching her angry expression was amusing nonetheless.

"Prove it," he egged her on.

"Byakugan!"

Before she even had time to think of what she was doing the princess had allowed her chakra to flow towards her eyes. All the veins that connected to her white eyes bulged under her skin as chakra pumped through them. Sasuke watched in fascination as her pupils began to show and the veins popped out from the side of her face.

"Hinata-hime!," Sakura shouted.

She caught the princess just in time before she flew down the hall to close the distance between her and Sasuke. The pinkette used her abnormal strength to hold Hinata's hands behind her back.

Sasuke on the other hand only watched in fascination as she struggled against her captor.

Hinata had never been so angry in her entire life. No one had ever slandered the Hyuuga name. The Hyuuga were respected and feared not only in the Water Country but in the world. How dare he talk as if he was better than them, than her.

"Sasuke! What the hell is your problem?" Sakura shouted, still holding the princess back.

Sakura wasn't sure how strong the princess was, but considering she was the princess she figured she couldn't have been that strong, even if she did have a kekkei genkai.

"Relax. She's harmless," he said, feigning nonchalance.

Sasuke knew however that that would only piss off his sister-in-law more. He was anxious to see what the Byakugan could do. He had heard stories of it, all seeming more absurd than the last tale, but that didn't stop him from being curious in the slightest.

"Sakura-chan… please, let me go," Hinata said through clenched teeth.

On the inside, Hinata was surprised at the way she was behaving. She had never acted this way before, not once. Then again no one had ever insulted her family, at least not to her face. Had someone told her at the start of the day that she would have the blinding urge to fight someone she would have probably laughed in their face – and apologized right after of course. Hinata was not a fighter; she only did so on occasions that called for it. For example, the annual tournament the Hyuuga held at the palace. Everyone was welcome to enter, however, the Hyuugas usually turned out on top. Growing up, Hinata was forced into the tournament as a way to test her growth from the previous year. She always did her best, though she never enjoyed her wins as much as she should have. Fighting was just not something Hinata was a hundred percent comfortable with. However, at the moment she wouldn't have minded shutting down a few of her arrogant brother-in-law's chakra points.

"I can't. You know I can't. Not until you calm down…" Sakura said to her gently, not wanting to further upset her but keeping a firm grip on her hands.

Hinata stared angrily at Sasuke who was giving her a cocky grin.

"Tch…" she kissed her teeth softly, forcing her Byakugan away.

Sakura waited a few moments before letting the princess go. Hinata rolled her shoulders uncharacteristically, rolling her eyes at Sasuke before stomping away.

Sakura on the other hand stayed behind for a while, glaring at her royal friend.

"What the hell was that about?" she demanded, balling up her fist and shaking it at him.

Sasuke shrugged his shoulders. "I was bored and curious. It's not my fault she got emotional."

"Not your fault? The hell it isn't! It's completely your fault! Apologize to Hinata before the celebration."

Sasuke kissed his teeth. "And if I don't? What are you going to do about it?"

Sakura narrowed her eyes at him, closing the distance between them like Hinata had so badly wanted to do. She gripped him by his shirt collar and pulled him down so that their foreheads touched and they were eye to eye.

"I'll snap you in two."

That was all the pinkette said before pushing him away and walking down the hall to find Hinata.

Sasuke let out another exasperated sigh.

Although he had apologized, Hinata was not at all ready to forgive Sasuke for the way he had spoken to her. After she had calmed down, she realized that he was just trying to rile her up enough so that she'd fight him. It would have worked too had Sakura not been there to protect him.

Hinata had never felt more embarrassed in her entire life. He had manipulated her and made her act out in a way that did not resemble a princess at all. She was pissed at him, jerking herself away from Sakura in attempt to destroy his arms. She had never felt the urge to hurt someone like that before.

Hinata wasn't quite ready to forget about it either. She wanted pay back for what he did to her and began plotting a way to get back at him that night as she laid in bed with her husband.

The day of the celebration had arrived and her family had come the night before. She was elated to see them and even hugged her father when any other time the idea would have seemed foreign to her. Hyuuga Hiashi did not hug anyone, ever. Hinata couldn't even remember him hugging her mother and he only ever hugged her and Hanabi when they were small children. However, she was happy now and did not spare him from the embrace. Though he had his flaws, Hinata loved her father and had missed him.

Though she longed to see her family again, Hinata spent the morning with her husband as agreed. Itachi was kind and gentle with her, pressing a soft kiss to her cheek that morning when she arrived for breakfast.

They had been intimate a few times in their marriage but he had never kissed her. Really kissed her. Not that she wanted to be kissed by him exactly, she was merely curious of what it was like. Sakura had told her that it was the most amazing thing the human face could do. Hinata felt a little weird being nineteen years old with no experience with kissing, yet she had lost her virginity already. Part of her felt cheated, but she would never bring that up to Itachi. He told her before that could not promise her love and she believed him. Kissing was done by people who were in love so it was absurd for her to expect that from him.

"How do you feel?" Itachi asked her as they walked around the garden together.

"Happy," she said, smiling up at him. "M-my family is here. I've missed them."

The Hyuuga had been given an extended invitation this time around. Hanabi informed her that they would be there for a week visiting before they returned home again.

"Perhaps we could take a trip to the Water Country next year," Itachi said in passing. "Or maybe on your birthday."

Hinata's face fell and she stopped, causing her husband to stop with her. "R-really?"

"Hn. I don't see why not. You could have asked sooner and I would have made time for that to happen," Itachi said, patting her head affectionately.

The princess smiled happily at her husband, her heart beating frantically at the idea of going home. She wrapped her arms around his torso and snuggled comfortably into his chest.

"Thank you, Itachi-kun."

"Hai, hai. Anything for you."

"Bleeeh…"

Hinata looked up, pulling her face from Itachi's chest to spot Sasuke lounging in the grass by the pond. Her pond. Blood pumped through her veins and she felt as though she could punch him. Yes, she wanted to punch him. That would make her feel better for sure. However, simply punching him wasn't enough. She wanted revenge.

Revenge. The word tasted funny on her tongue.

"Sasuke-kun…" Itachi's voice sounded, surprised to see his brother there. As politely as he could, he excused himself from his wife's embrace and walked closer to his younger brother. "When did you arrive?"

Sasuke casted a cocky grin to Hinata who rolled her eyes before standing to his feet to acknowledge his aniki. "Last night. Sorry I hadn't made myself known sooner, I was tired from the long journey and wanted to take a day to relax before I made my rounds."

"That's understandable," Itachi commented.

Hinata, on the other hand, knew that if it had been Itachi who was away for a year, the first thing he would have done was make himself known. Then again, Itachi was perfect. Hinata smiled at him, Sakura was right, Itachi was a good man. She moved closer to him and snuggled into his side, wrapping her arms around his and resting her head against him. She was acting more like a jealous baby sister than his wife at the moment, though didn't realize it until later. Hinata's feelings towards Itachi were complicated, much like their relationship as a whole. She wasn't in love with him, but she liked him, however not in a romantic way. In her eyes, Itachi was more like her brother. He was her replacement Neji in a sense. The only difference was that she was married to him and was expected to give him children one day. She didn't like that Sasuke was acting so familiar with him, much in the way that Hanabi would towards Neji. Possessiveness was just one of Hinata's personality flaws.

Sasuke rolled his eyes at her and the action didn't go unnoticed by Itachi. The would-be-emperor looked down at his wife who was frowning at Sasuke, then back at his brother.

"Did I miss something?"

"Hm?" Sasuke answered.

"Is there a reason why my wife is giving you a death-glare?" Itachi inquired.

"I don't know. The Hyuuga are weird people," Sasuke responded, ignoring her completely.

A low growl sounded from Hinata's throat, which surprised both herself and her husband. Itachi had never seen Hinata angry before. She was always smiling and happy and friendly towards everyone she met. To see her growling and glaring at his brother was surprising and not surprising at the same time. Sasuke had a way of pissing people off.

"Apologize to her."

Sasuke blinked a few times. "What?"

"Apologize to my wife, now," Itachi said sternly, his face void of the pleasant smile he wore earlier.

Sasuke sighed and rolled his eyes. "Why should I? And another thing, how do you know that it's me who did something wrong? Hinata could have just as easily been the one in the wrong?"

"Was she?"

Sasuke was silent.

"I didn't think so. Apologize to her right now."

"For what? I already apologized to her, it's her business if she doesn't want to accept," Sasuke countered.

"Sasuke…" Itachi warned.

"It's f-fine, Itachi-kun… Sasuke-san already apologized to me," Hinata chimed in, looking up at her husband.

Itachi studied her face for a long while before turning to look at his younger sibling. "Alright."

Hinata smiled and separated herself from him. "I'm going to get ready for tonight, it was nice talking with you again Sasuke-san."

The two brothers watched as she walked away from the garden and towards the palace.

"Tch…" Sasuke kissed his teeth.

"A year has passed and you still haven't learned how to get on people's good side," Itachi mentioned, clapping his brother on his shoulder.

Sasuke kissed his teeth once more. "Fuck people."

The night was going well. The palace was a buzz with people and music from the live string quartet and Hinata had never been happier. She smiled brightly at her cousin as he told her of the past year in the Water Country. She told them what Itachi had said earlier about them visiting the Water Country soon and that seemed to please her cousin.

"Neji-niisan, Itachi has been good to me," she told him, slapping his arm lightly when he finally asked the question that had been weighing heavily on his mind for the past year.

"Ahh," he responded, not quite sure if he believed her or not. Though, Hinata never lied.

"Really, he has been. I'm happy. I like the Fire Country. It's not so bad you know," she informed him. She began telling him of villages outside of the palace. She was luckier here since Fugaku allowed her to leave the village every now and then. He said it was good for the people to know her. Fugaku prided himself on being popular with his people. Though they did not vote for him to be Emperor, he still wanted them to like their leader.

Through all the commotion and bowing to elders and noblemen, Itachi finally found his wife. She was dressed in a comfortable kimono, not as fancy as some of the other's she had in her closet but she still oozed royalty. Her hair was let down for a change and he had the chance to admire its length. The only time he really saw it was when they went to bed at night.

"Hinata."

"Itachi-kun," she greeted him happily, looking from her cousin to him. "You remember my cousin, Neji?"

"Hn," Itachi said as the two men bowed to one another. "I remember him glaring at me during the entire wedding service."

Hinata blushed in embarrassment before shooting her cousin a look.

"I didn't like him," Neji answered honestly. Still don't. "I wasn't sure if he was the right person for you."

Itachi nodded his head, understanding where Neji was coming from. Itachi didn't have any sisters or any young girl who he was particularly close with but as an elder sibling, he understood wanting the best for a younger sibling. Neji was only acting as Hinata's protective older brother. It was comforting to know that there was someone who cared deeply for his wife the same as he did.

He did not love her in a romantic way, but he loved her nonetheless. He had grown attached to her in the year that she had been with him and was glad that they were married. If he were to be married to anyone Hinata was a good fit. She wasn't annoying like a lot of other women were and while she was indeed clingy at times he didn't really mind. She was understanding and gave him the space he needed to be alone and never questioned him too much when he wasn't able to spend time with her.

On the night of their wedding he had told her that it was alright if she was not ready for sex. She had only met him a few weeks ago and it was understandable if she wasn't yet comfortable with opening herself up to him that way. Hinata had surprisingly been okay with it. She told him that they would have to eventually if they were to have children and decided that doing it then was best so that it wouldn't be too awkward when the time finally came for them to start having children. Itachi respected her. She knew what it was like to make sacrifices and swallowed her fears when the time was needed. Itachi didn't love her now but he felt as though one day perhaps, he could.

"It's almost time, Hinata."

"Oh."

She nodded her head and stood up from her seat beside Neji and took her husband's hand. He pulled her closer to him and they began making their rounds, thanking people for coming and expressing their gratitude for the gifts and words of luck.

"When can we expect to see little ones running around the palace?" when of the elders asked, smiling at the happy couple.

Hinata blushed and looked down nervously, embarrassed by such a bold question.

"No time soon," Itachi answered. "Hinata and I are still enjoying our time together. Perhaps in a few years?"

"H-hn…" she answered nervously.

This seemed to please the elderly woman and she wished them luck. The question of children was a reoccurring one amongst the women that night. All of them wanted to know when little Uchiha babies would be coming. Hinata was only nineteen, she wasn't ready to have children and Itachi understood that. He was five years her senior but he also was not quite ready for the challenge of raising children.

Later on that evening, after greeting everyone and meeting all the people she was supposed to, Hinata found herself making a B-line towards Sasuke.

The male was standing against the wall on the other side of the room, merely watching the party when he spied Hinata walking towards him. Her cocky grin made him curious however did not stop him from giving her one of his own.

"Kotaishihi, what brings you to this neck of the woods?" he asked coyly.

Hinata suppressed the urge to kiss her teeth or roll her eyes and smiled at him instead. "You said you wanted to see the Byakugan in battle. I'm here to make you an offer."

Sasuke cocked his brow. "An offer?" he echoed. "I'm interested. Details."

Hinata smiled, she knew he would be unable to resist. "Well. Back in the Water Country we have this tournament every year at the palace."

"Oh? Do tell."

Hinata stopped herself from scoffing at him. "Any and every shinobi in the country is allowed to participate. Since you want to see the Byakugan so badly, there are two other users here wouldn't hesitate to battle a Sharingan user."

Sasuke didn't bother hiding the smirk that crept across her face. He liked this one. She was becoming more and more interesting as the conversation progressed.

"Alright. When shall we have this tournament?" he inquired.

"Everyone is here for a few days, why not the day after tomorrow?" she challenged him.

Sasuke licked his lips once and grinned. "Alright."

Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns? Review onegaishimasu!
