Kitima was lying down with Shemei, feeding her a bottle of lemur milk. Her neck had Mada's necklace on. Kitima was thinking about burring it with Mada, but she couldn't let go of him. His picture was engraved in Kitima's heart and mind, like love was engraved into the necklace. Another knock at the door startled Kitima. The door opened to see the priest with his lackey carry two large tan sacks. The priest pointed to the spot where he, wanted the young man to dump them.
"Kitima your daughter needs to chose four toys." Kitima nodded her head and put Shemei down on the floor. Shemei started riffling through the toys picking one up then through the toy in the opposite hand down. One hour passed until Shemei pushed all the toys to the side besides four. The priest them up and studied them, and took note of them. The priest nodded and left the summer palace in the fire nation.
"What was that all about?" Roku asked as he passed the priest going through the doorway. Kitima shrugged her shoulders and bent down to pick her daughter up.
" I am not really sure." Kitima said as she put Shemei on her hip.
"Well when you find out tell me please. I don't to find out by some random person that Shemei has been tested to see if she will this like evil demon or something perverted and weird!" Roku walked over to Shemei and kissed the little eight-teen month old on the forehead. "So little Sissy," Roku's nick-name for Shemei, "What would you want to do today with your Uncle Roku?" Roku took Shemei out of Kitima's hands and put the little infant in his arm's.
"Thank you again for babysitting, Roku. I want Shemei to get to know you before the ceremony." Kitima glanced down to her sliver ring, on her left hand. The silver band had one huge diamond being held up by two smaller sapphires.
Roku kissed Kitima's hand." Just a little while longer, Kitima." Guilt flew over Kitima's mind.
Roku turned around and walked through the door. Leaving Kitima with tears of guilt falling down her porcelain face.
