CHAPTER 5
HIMITSU HOSHI
Ten years later….
The winter slowly turned into a new spring where flowers grew and the sun melted the snow away – a sad lullaby was travelling through the wind into the forest and through the little compound were the Kugatsu clan lived. They had been out of harms way ever since the truce between the two clans. The people in the clan could live in peace for a while until the next attack anyway. In the middle of this compound stood a fountain were flowers floated. Houses stood next to each other and trees here and there grew slowly over these ten years but the lullaby was coming from the girl sitting on the fountain's edge humming a sad lullaby she slowly let her hand in the water making ripples. Her hair had grown till her knees and her green eyes still held the kindness and sweet innocence in them…she wore a blue dress that hanged loosely on her with a purple rope around her waist. She was no longer a child anymore thought she still held to her believe to roses where others thought different…She had grown into a girl that will soon meet her husband to be. Kioku looked sadly at the waters again admiring the rose pedals that fell into the water and the blue sky. She now knew that the truce between the two clans were based on her marring one of the Uchiha's son and it had been decided ten years ago that she would marry Izuna Uchiha – She took her hand out of the water and looked at it fascinated by the waters dripping along her arm. She had never met Izuna before only his arrogant brother Madara Uchiha. Kioku's thoughts of that arrogant boy were of their different opinions of a Rose. She couldn't help but smirk as she thought of Madara he had been fun to irritate she wondered if Izuna was like Madara.
Yet Kioku won't be willing like other wives were in an élite clan she will fallow her own mind and believes no matter what may happen and as for this planned wedding she may have no choice but to marry Izuna but she will never give her soul to him to control. Suddenly she heard a chuckle coming from before her she looked up and saw her best friend Himitsu Hoshi. He wore a blue robe with a white sash around his waist. He had long waist-length dark-blue hair tied near the bottom some laid loosely over his shoulder and teal eyes he was three years older than Kioku.
"Himitsu – why are you here?" She asked as he made his way to sit next to her. Himitsu looked at the girl he had known for more than ten years now. He had been surprise at the change in her and the news that she was to marry an Uchiha.
"What a friend can't see how his friend is doing? I heard the rumours going in the compound about you being betrothed." He said with a smile but inside he was boiling with jealousy.
"They are not rumours…Father said that was the truce he had made with the Uchiha clan." Kioku said looking into the teal eyes of Himitsu.
"I am sure you'll drive him to the hills…you just wait and see." Himitsu have chuckled and then looked at his young friend he was now Nineteen and yet never really in marring…but he knew that he cared more for Kioku more than he should. She was the heiress of the clan therefore all the duties and responsibilities felled on her shoulders. There were times when he wanted to hold her in his arms and sooth all her worries away – when he wanted to listen to her beautiful humming and there where times when she leans on his shoulder that he felt the urge to take her – yet he knew he could never no matter what…he will never hurt Kioku.
"Himitsu, why can't I choose my own path?" Kioku asked making Himitsu snap out of his thought and saw the hurt in her eyes it torn his heart apart.
