The Haku sat in the darkness of the room looking out over the garden, her knees where hugging close to her chest as she sat watching the light or down breaking through the nighttimes twilight to mark the birth of a new day, she had forgotten how many days she had seen die and only to be reborn again. For her, it was like time had stopped still the passing of the days and the turning of the seasons from Summer to Autumn were the only evidence that life beyond the walls of the Uchiha Manson still carried on as normal. Yuki lifted her head a little watching as the deep blue of the night sky was slowing turning a soft orange, the sound of bird song broke the silence of the night once again. The female was uncharacteristically unkempt, her eyes marked from tears and looked sunken and hollow as the sunlight kissed, she squinted a little, the morning hurting at little, Yuki blinked but her eyes were dry from a lack of sleep. In her hand she still held the note that had been the catalyst to this, the paper had been crumpled and the ink had started to run staining the woman’s fingers as she held the only thing that was left of her daughter, a piece of her had left and Yuki felt empty.
From behind she could hear the sound of a maid sliding open the screen door while she walked as quietly as she could the footsteps on the soft tatami mat filled the room echoing off the walls, it was accompanied by the clutter of china as she carried a tray with rice and other foodstuffs. It was a routine that had been carried out by them everything day since she had left them, they would leave food that she wouldn’t eat or tea that she wouldn’t drink only to take them away again and replace it the next day. It was the same maid that they have sent every day. Her name as Miko she was young and cheerful with a bright smile and large brown eyes that seemed to smile. Her skin was a light almond with brown her that she wore in bunches in on either side of her head. Yuki would have found her annoying if it was for the fact there was something about her that was so endearing.
“Good Morning Lady Yuki, I have brought you breakfast. I have checked with the Head Retainer and he told me that you aren’t keen on green tea so I have made you some jasmine tea instead,” The young girl placed the tray next to the female, Yuki could deny that the smell of the food was tempting but didn’t move towards it, her eyes looked a Miko for a few seconds before turning back to the outside. The maid sat behind her gently combing through Yuki long crimson hair humming a tune to herself. “You know Maple town has started the festival, you should see the streets, all the leaves have turned the lovely crimson, it looks so pretty. I will bring you back some Maple candy Lady Yuki”
“I took Kotori there when she was still little, she used to always make Takeshi try and win one of those goldfish, it seemed to be the only thing that he wasn’t good at,” Yuki’s voice was hoarse, her throat was dry. Miko jumped a little, she had been attending to Yuki for weeks now, this is the first time she had heard her speak.
“I am sorry Lady Yuki I didn’t mean to..”
“It is fine Miko, how long has it been?”
“Three weeks now, Lord Takeshi has been worried sick which is why he has sent me to look after you every day,” Miko shuffled back a little. Yuki stretched her legs out, they were stiff from lack of use.
“Please summon Yukio tell him to meet me at the Dojo,” She stood up, her legs were shaky but they held her. She walked to the closet and grabbed some clothes before leaving the space.
