"Welcome home Kira-sama! Lord Hiashi has asked us to prepare your outfit for the evening, please come this way," everyone in the Hyuuga clan said before a few of the people in front dragged her to the room she had used before she left, leaving Neji and Hinata to go to their own rooms and get ready; both marveling at the lengths their family went to make the kunoichi comfortable.

"You know I can find my way on my own, so you can leave…." Kira told them as she opened the door to her room and saw a complicated design of a light and dark blue kimono, "Or is this the reason you came with me?" she asked fingering the kimono over her shoulder, when they all nodded she mumbled, 'just like the old days.' Before they closed the door and she started feeling slightly anxious.

For the next half hour Kira was treated like a royal barbie. They had put her hair up into a gypsy ponytail with long silver ribbons that had both sapphire and emeralds on them. For make-up they had applied a light shade of grey eye shadow covered by a dark shade of blue. They put on a light pink shade of lip-gloss as the final touch of make-up.

When Kira finally opened her eyes she couldn't believe that the person in the mirror was the same person who had spent the last few nights sleeping in the forest (they had made her take a short bath and quickly washed her hair while they were at it).

The kimono she was now wearing had a light blue background with a darker floral design on it. It hung off her shoulders and stopped just above the bust and a silver obi.

"Wow this is really beautiful, but it's as though there's something missing and I just so happen to know what," she said without telling them before she carefully walked over to her weapons pouch and reached into the same compartment that she had earlier and withdrew a black choker with the most beautiful ruby rose in the centre, it was the one Itachi had given her a few months before. As soon as she had put it on she looked up at the servants to see looks of surprise on their faces.

"What? I haven't worn this yet so I thought it would be a good time to wear it. So can I leave now?" Kira asked with a little bit of annoyance in her voice. The Hyuugas nodded before moving out of the way so she could leave the room and bowed as she passed them.

As she entered the courtyard she was met with a hearty and cheerful hello from Hiashi and everyone from the main and branch families. As soon Hinata and Neji had joined them Kira took the chance and asked Hiashi if it were possible for them to leave ahead of everyone else. Hiashi was reluctant at first but when she told him she had to meet someone he agreed and the clan bid them farewell as the three left.

"I w-was wo-wondering if I-I could call you Ki-Kira-chan ins-instead of Kira-sama?" Hinata asked as they started to walk to the parade/festival grounds. When she her Kira and Neji looked at her in unison.

Kira was the first to talk leaving Neji to shake his head while waiting to hear Kira's response, "I don't mind; besides being called 'sama' makes me twitch. Looks like Kiba's already here," she said and pointed to the corner where Kiba was standing in the street light.

As they got closer they noticed Kiba was wearing navy blue yukata with wolves on the sleeves and edges. Kira was the first to notice and thought that she hadn't got a good look at what Neji and Hinata were wearing. Hinata was wearing a dark lavender kimono with spring lilies on it; her hair was in a bun with glitter running through it. Neji wore a dark beige yukata that had a sunset design along the edges; he also had some foundation to hide the curse mark on his forehead.

"Nice yukata Kiba, but isn't it a little ironic?" Kira teased as he joined them; at the mention of his yukata Neji looked at him and gave a small chuckle which he hid with a cough before leaning toward Hinata and whispering something into her ear, making her giggle. Kiba shot Neji a glare before looking back at Kira.

"Well I suppose it is, especially seeing as to how you're wearing a blue as well. So that makes it even more ironic," Kiba retaliated making Kira, slightly, regret speaking in the first place.

"Good point but before we got to the grounds there's one place we have to stop by first. Besides I'm not sure I'm ready to listen to Gai's 'youthful' talk just yet," Kira told them while anime shivering at the memories that had haunted her for years. Neji watched as she led them down the road towards Ichiraku Ramen, which was closed.

"Why are we here Kira-sa-chan?" Neji asked after correcting himself as they stopped in the shadows of the store. Kira gave him a smile that told he couldn't see very well but told him he would know soon enough. After a few moments of silence Kira raised her fingers to her mouth and gave a low whistle that soon rose in pitch. A second later there was a loud bang in front of them; after the smoke cleared they were able to see…

A/N; sorry this was so short I didn't know what to write halfway so I hope this is good enough (probably not) but I hope you liked and even if you didn't please R&R :D
