growing up In the Kamisato clan you're the young cousin of Ayaka Kamisato growing up together within the estate like sisters always playing and going out together but one day when you were a little girl in the city having gotten separated from Ayaka...
It was the day of your twentieth birthday, you were now a full adult woman It was a day that your aunt always wanted to see, but she passed away much too soon, after spending time with Itto your mood Improved but, on this day, you were a little sad, as you knew Aunt Akane would've loved to be here for you now but even so, you tried your best to just get through
you turned over In your futon, Aki came to your room as to wake you up as usual
she bowed "Good morning my lady, Happy Birthday"
you gave a small smile "Thank you, Aki"
you then sat up on your futon, you pushed the comforter off before rising onto your feet, you left your bedroom heading to bathe, Aki had already filled the tub with semi-hot water and scented soaps, you undressed from your sleep Yukata, getting into the round wooden tub as you started to wash yourself, Aki handled your hair for you, also telling of what was planned for today
"As It's your birthday, tonight Clan Leader is going to have a feast for you, your special birthday Kimono just arrived not too long ago"
you nodded "I see, I'll wear It in a bit"
she scrubbed your hair until It was full of suds, she then got the wooden basin, pouring warm water over your head as to rinse, you then smoothed your wet hair from your face, Aki wrung out your hair a little before she combed through parting It down the middle, you then stood as she handed you your towel, stepping out the tub you dried yourself before putting on the white Yukata, you then started back to your bedroom chambers, you then changed Into the white underdress and Haneri, Aki then brought over your birthday Kimono, It was blue with beautiful flower detailing, you slipped It on before Aki tied the Obi with the Obijime

when finished you kneeled In front of the little mirror, she combed through your long locks, she then styled your hair into a high bun, sliding In a decorative pin and pink flower,
she smiled, "You look beautiful my lady"
you gave a small smile, "Thank you"
you then put on your Tabi socks, carefully rising as you left your bedroom, you walked to the dining hall where Ayaka and Ayato waited for you, you went to sit next to Ayaka
Ayato smiled, "Happy birthday"
you bowed your head, "Thank you"
Thoma soon emerged from the kitchen, "Oh there she is, Happy Birthday Lady (Y/n)"
"Thank you Thoma"
he then sat breakfast onto the table, yours was special this morning, after eating they then presented you with gifts, you were grateful, but you didn't feel all that happy at the moment, it had only been a few days since your aunt's death, you were still in your own mourning period, but you tried your best to be happier In front of them,
you bowed your head, "Thank you for the gifts"
Ayaka furrowed her brows, "(Y/n) are you alright, you haven't seemed much like yourself lately"
"I'm alright, don't worry"
you then rose onto your feet, "please excuse me"
you walked to the doors of the estate, you put on your geta shoes just as Aki came
"are you alright my lady, I'll come with you"
you shook your head, "I'd like to have some time alone, please remain here"
Aki looked on as you left, you walked through the courtyard going to the gate, you then got into the waiting rickshaw telling the driver to take you to Inazuma city, you preferred to be away from home again, in your head you apologized to Ayaka and Ayato, but you needed this, after a twenty-minute ride the rickshaw made It, you told him to wait nearby before you got out, you started walking into the city as you took out your fan, fanning yourself lightly, as you passed many of the people wished you a happy birthday, you thanked them for the wishes
you went to the Kimono textiles shop, upon your coming In Ogura greeted you
"Oh, Happy Birthday your ladyship"
you gave your best smile, "Thank you, and I'd also like to thank you for this kimono, It's very lovely"
Ogura smiled, bowing her head "It was a pleasure, I was honored to make this piece for you"
you gave a nod, she then asked "If I may, how old are you turning today?"
"Twenty"
she smiled, "How nice, you're a grown woman now congratulations, I hope you have a wonderful birthday"
you bowed your head, "Thank you Ogura,"
you then left the textiles shop, continuing to walk along the cobblestone streets of Inazuma city, you thought to visit the palace, but you didn't want to bother her Excellency, but just then you heard a familiar chuckle, you turned to see Itto playing a game with some children
a smile started coming to you, you then decided to walk over as to have a look, you watched but made sure you weren't In the way of passersby's, it seemed that he'd won again
"Oh Yeah! I'm numero Uno Itto who can't be defeato!"
he pumped his fist In the air, the kids started to complain and demand a rematch, but then once Itto saw you a blush came to his cheeks, he then jogged over to you "Hey! how's It going"
you gave a little giggle, "everything's well"
"Hey uh...you're really dolled up today, It's your birthday right, you look beautiful"
you blushed, "Thank you"
Itto smiled, "Since It's your birthday, allow me to sing you my birthday song"
you were confused, but then he started to beat box as he sang you happy birthday, It made you break Into laughter at how funny and sweet It was, "Thank you Itto"
Itto smiled, "Hey there's that laugh, haven't heard It in a while"
you looked down, "Indeed, it's been a while since I've laughed"
Itto then furrowed his brows, "It's your birthday, but you don't seem all that happy"
you sighed, "I'm...oh goodness I'm being pathetic"
you buried your face In your hands, you started to cry and Itto brought you into a hug
"Hey, you're not Pathetic don't say that, It's gonna be okay
he then parted from you a bit, "Come on, Let's get out of here, I'll take you to Chinju Forest It's much calmer there and you can tell me what's wrong"
you sniffled, giving a nod before you led him back to your rickshaw, he got In sitting next to you as he put up his feet, the action made you giggle before you told the driver where to go.
