The young Lady (Y/N) had woken early. As informed by her father last night, today is the day she would meet her soon-to-be husband. Oh how she dreaded this day. Sighing, the female took her time to rid her (H/C) locks from tangles and knocks. She brushed and combed until it was silky and tangle free. She shed herself of her nightwear and slipped on a red kimono, adorned with golden trimming and white flowers. She left her hair down, not feeling the need to style it. Moving on to make-up, she applied a light gold eye shadow as well as a touch of pale pink lipstick. Considering herself presentable, she slipped on her favorite geta and strolled out.

She walked slowly down the wall with a proud face. It was early morn. The Uchiha would be here for dinner. 'What to do....' She wondered. Her thoughts went to the garden almost instantly. With a little smile, she makes her way to the said destination. She positioned herself under the large willow tree. At peace, she closes her eyes. Feeling the wind blow her (H/L) hair gently. She embraced this feeling, able to rid of her mind of all of her worries. She inhaled sharply and let her breath out. This was a wonderful feeling. She opened her eyes. Her (E/C) orbs saddened. ''Onii-chan....You would've loved this setting'' She whispered a silent statement to her dear brother, Mimaruo. She sighed, remembering her loving big brother. He had left when she was a child but never returned. A body was never discovered. The clan assumed that he was deceased.

Turning her attention to the sky. (Y/N) eyed the white, cotton clouds. She made out various shapes and images. Her relaxation turned into a drowsy feeling. She let her eyes close once more, soon finding herself drifting off.

''(Y/N)....You like this garden?'' Her brother's soft voice called out as he sat under the tree. The 6 year old (H/C) girl nodded excitedly. ''Just as much as I like you, Onii-Chan!'' She smiled brightly, beaming with innocence. The elder male chuckled and ruffled her soft hair. ''This is my favorite place'' He explained. ''It always puts me to peace when I'm sad or stressed'' He smiled, looking up at the setting sun. ''I hope it will serve the same purpose to you too, (Y/N)'' He stated. ''But I don't need a garden when I have you'' She said. He hugged her gently. ''You're too sweet, (Y/N)....But you know, I'll have to leave one day'' He said grimly. ''Whaaaat?! Why!?'' His sibling looked at him with big eyes filled with confusion and sadness. ''I might have to fight, and I won't come back. Or I'll leave for something and get lost. I might even fall in love and someone will steal me away'' He teased. The girl's face turned red with jealousy at the last statement. ''Nu-uh! I won't let anyone take you from me, Onii-Chan!'' She exclaimed, hugging his torso tightly. He laughed and patted her head. ''I'm messing with you, sister'' She pouted. ''I'll never let someone steal me'' He said. ''Promise?'' The little girl held out her pink. ''I promise. I will always return to you'' He smiled yet again and wrapped his pinky.

''I promise..''

Her eyes shot open, realizing she had fallen asleep. She felt the warm liquid trail down her cheeks. ''I was crying again....'' She gently wiped away her tears, careful not to ruin her makeup. Her (E/C) orbs widened. It was nearly sunset. She had slept the day away. ''Oh no!'' She quickly stood up. Brushing out her clothing, she ran her fingers through her hair to ensure it was neat. She dusted herself off and hurried in time. 'Please don't tell me the Uchiha are here!' She crossed her fingers, hopeful that they had not arrived and she had time to ready herself.

She guided herself to the front area where they would greet the Uchiha. ''Lady (Y/N)! There you are'' A maid met her upon arriving. ''Am I late?'' She questioned. ''No, My Lady. You're just in time. The Uchiha have not arrived just yet'' The maid explained. She sighed in relief, thankful that she was not late. She took a moment to fix herself up a bit more just as her parents were entering the room.

''The Uchiha have arrived'' A servant announced. (Y/N) stood beside her mother and father as a handful of men entered the room. She instantly noted that they all sported the typical raven hair and dark eyes of the Uchiha. They were all attractive. She felt her palms become slightly sweaty and her heart beat faster. Which one was the one she'd be married to? Her thoughts were broken as her father spoke. ''Uchiha, thank you for joining us tonight'' She barely listened as they exchanged. ''Let us discuss more over dinner'' Her mother suggested and they were all seated. A man with long, rather spiky hair sat on her right. Across from them, sat her parents. ''We're grateful you accepted this proposal'' Her father said. The man beside her grunted in response. (Y/N) noticed her father's gaze travel to her. ''(Y/N)...Meet your fiance, Madara Uchiha'' He motions to the man beside her. (Y/N) tensed up greatly. She felt like her heart would explode. She was going to marry this man? She looked over at the said man slowly. He was eyeing. her. She felt uneasy under his gaze. She swallowed and found her voice. ''Nice to meet you, Uchiha-San'' His eyes stared at hers. ''Hn'' Was his only response. Her brow twitched in slight annoyance. 'Not very talkative' She thought to herself but her irritation disappeared as food was set out.


Dinner went by nicely. Everyone chatted and got along. Though, the entire time, (Y/N) could feel Madara's eyes watching her every move. When she looked back, he simply looked away. Though, she once caught him staring at her (Size) bust and then her thighs. Was she seriously going to be wed to this man? She swallowed hard, now regretting agreeing to this arrangement before meeting this man.
