Seraphina Lotus is a prodigy, a child of the prophecy and the princess of a clan that rivals the Otsutsuki clan. She lived happily with her family until one night, her clan vanished into thin air without a trace. Believing that they died or dimensio...
I was peaceful eating and reading my scroll when Hinata walked towards me while poking her pointer fingers together. I put down my scroll and gave her my attention while giving a gentle smile. She suddenly bowed, "U-u-um, I w-wo-would li-li-like t-to th-thank y-you f-for s-saving m-my m-mother..." she trailed off. I pat her head while smiling, "I was just doing my job, no need to thank me." She nodded, "T-Tou-sama w-wo-would a-al-also like t-to h-ha-have you c-come o-o-ov-over to t-the H-Hy-Hyuga c-compound f-for d-din-dinner." I waved it off before she pulled the insist card which made me agree while mentally grumbling.
She's awfully shy for a Hyuga. Hyugas are usually quite prideful just because their dojutsu is one of the "3 Great Dojutsus" Apparently, they're the most well known dojutsus in the world. I thought the world would know about the Lotus clan but they believe it's a myth just like how they believe the Otsutsuki clan is a myth. They don't know anything about the Lotus or Otsutsuki clan, all they believe is that the Lotus clan sacrificed themselves to seal the Otsutsuki clan but really that's not true at all.
Only one Lotus who was known as the most powerful in their time sacrificed themselves. The whole Lotus clan made it look like they sacrificed themselves to keep themselves safe. After all, if people were to find out what we're capable of and the full extent of our dojutsu's power then we can easily assume that there will be an all out war. Enemies will either try to acquire our power or kill us because they feel threatened.
I finished eating my lunch and turned over to Sasuke while asking, "When does lunch end?" He looked up from his scroll and answered, "It ends at around 1:45." I looked up t the clock to see that there was still 15 minutes left. I might as well start it now. I put my hands together on my lap, closed my eyes and started focusing chakra into my forehead. Mito said it took her 2-3 and a half years to obtain the seal. I might as well start meditating to try getting the seal since there's nothing for me to do right now.
After 15 minutes, the bell rang. I stopped meditating and got up before hearing a literal stampede approaching the classroom. I sensed some of Sasuke's fangirls' chakra coming from it. "~Have fun dealing with your fangirls~" I giggled before walking away to lean on the wall with Sasuke's face turning from neutral to annoyance.
The class came in along with Iruka while he announced that they would be sparring. So I left a clone to take my place while I walked out to find a flower field used for Kunoichi class. There was no one there so I decided to use this time to perfect my special clone while meditating. Create more clones, sat down under a nearby tree and started meditating, pouring chakra into my forehead bit by bit.

Clone's POV:
I took my real self's place so she could meditate for the Byakugou seal and perfect the clone while here I am, watching what seems to be a baby fight between a girl named Haruno Sakura and Yamanka Ino. I watched them pull each other's hair while punching each other.
Oh my real self! How dare you leave me to watch a baby fight?! The only good fights are with the boys although Sasuke wins all of them without a sweat so it's very boring! Iruka, teach them how to fight properly! They don't even know katas! I stood there in the sidelines with my hands together while I look straight ahead in boredom while cursing at my real self for bringing this upon me.

Seraphina's POV:
I heard the bell ring for the last time and body flickered to my clone while dispersing it. My clone's memories came flowing in along with her mentally cursing at me while I mentally chuckled. I would've suffered watching that baby fight as well.... I walked outside with Sasuke following me, we walked to the Uchiha compound to start Sasuke's training.
"Alright, even though you've read the basics of katas, you haven't perfected the stance of it. So try copying what I'm doing" as I showed Sasuke step by step until it was time for me to go. "I have to go now, Sasuke" I said while looking up at the sky to see it darkening. He pouted, "Himeko, do you really have to? Why not stay here for the night?" he asked. I shook my head, "Maybe next time Sasuke" before poking his forehead with my pointer and middle finger together and smiling at him.
I walked away and utilized both Shadow Step and Luminous Step to get to my house and change into something more fitting.

(^That's her outfit^) I tied my hair in a bun and started walking to the Hyuga compound. After a few minutes of walking, I reached to the gates of the compound while the guards immediately bowed in respect. I walked past them and was greeted by Nastu who was Hanabi's babysitter. "Greetings Himeko-sama, we've been expecting you" she said while bowing. "Nastu-san, please stand" I said.
She stood and and led me to the main house where Hiashi, his wife (Kari), Hinata and Hanabi were. "Thank you for coming Himeko-sama" Kaori said. I smiled, "Kari-sama, your complexion looks better than the last time I've seen you." I said with a smile on my face. I turned to Hiashi's direction and curtsied, "Thank you for inviting me to have dinner with your family, Hiashi-sama"
He nodded before going inside the compound with everyone else following him in. We sat down while the servants served dinner and started eating peacefully until Hiashi broke the silence.
"Ahem, Himeko-sama, the elders and I are very grateful for what you did and would like to ask you if you'd like to marry my nephew, Neji" He said bluntly. "Of course, you don't need to accept but I'd like you to consider it." He continued while looking straight into my eyes. "Very well, Hiashi-sama. I'll consider it." I replied. I should've expected this coming... I really should stop getting involved in situations like these.
We finished eating and after a few more conversations with the Hyugas, I bid them goodbye since it was quite late. At least they're not like Mikoto who literally tries to set me up with Itachi the moment she gets the chance to. But that's 2 marriage proposals right there on my doorstep.
I sighed, knowing that I was going to receive another marriage proposal. I certainly wonder how Mikoto is going to react to this.... She'll probably do more drastic things to set me up with Itachi... I sighed again. What a long day!
