" Dad come on I'm going to be late!" I yelled waiting for him to come outside of the dojo. " in coming just hold on!" Yelled my dad back. My recital was going to start soon I do dance and I practice with a sword with uncle Saito and my dad. My dad is hijikata toshizo of course. I train really hard for my recitals and  terminates I push my self to the limit so much that I'll pass out. When I wake up I keep training my uncles think it's concerning I think it's fine. Finally my dad came out I grabbed his arm and ran out of the gates " good luck Gracie!" Yelled my uncles I turned my head and smiled and nodded. We made to the recital on time I said goodbye to my dad and ran back stage to get my costume on. I dance foreign dances with mean I wear foreign costumes this week we were specializing in the belly dancing category we were doing a Indian dance. My costume was a little revealing but it was just a costume it was a solo dance so I would be dancing by myself. I got on stage and took my pose and waited for the music to start. The music started and started my first move. My body moved perfectly with the music I was sure to win suprem for mini solo. I went in for my a double back flip with a full twist . I ran as fast as I could and pushed myself off the ground. I executed my back flips perfectly but when I went For the twist I fell on my side. I was able to make it initiated my making up some moves to make it look like part of the dance. When the dance ended I tried to make it unnoticed that I was hurt but I don't think it worked. I won the biggest title but that didn't fix my pain, I walked over to my dad after the performance with my trophy I was upset really upset I messed up on my dance " hey you did great out there!" Said my dad hugging me " yeah but I messed up on my dance." I said looking down " hey it's ok you'll get better we'll practice together if your really beating yourself up about it." He said patting my head. I gave him a fake smile and nodded we started to make are way back to the dojo.

" HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" Sang my family as I blew out my candles. They all clapped there hands and smiled, "happy birthday Gracie." Said my dad giving me one of my birthday presents. I could see that my dad struggled with the wrapping paper but I didn't care, I ripped the colorful paper of the box and opened the box, I moved the tissue paper out of the way to reveal a beautiful katana I gasped and picked it up. The blade wasn't any ordinary blade it was a marble blade the hilt of the katana was golden and had a simple hilt ornament on it. I hugged my dad so tight I could of broken a rib. " you have one more thing." Said Harada grabbing a huge bag from behind him. I set it down right in front of me "it said to give it to you on your 13 birthday." He said scratching the back of his neck. I unzipped the bag and looked inside their were clothes and I remembered what they were called for some odd reason. Their were ripped jeans crop tops Adidas A cute green jacket, makeup , Mac book pro, iPhone X r max, solar charger, iPhone charger, wireless ear buds, money, and meds for tuberculoses. My uncles looked at the stuff oddly for a second but quickly shook it out of their heads. The rest of the night we down celebrating and laughing.

Grace narrative

My 13th birthday was one of the last days my family didn't feel disappointed in me or slightly angry at me.

Grace POV

A few weeks after my birthday i started having really bad mood swings I'd be ok one moment and angry and violent the next I would be really upset and sad . I stopped going to training to sleep in this would cause my dad to get frustrated with me we fight a lot we never see sides anymore. It's not like I didn't argue with my uncles but they weren't like my dad they didn't lecture me on training didn't tell me I need to be more proper they didn't tell me to act a different way or try to make me do something I don't want to do, hands down I think my uncles just don't want me to get mad at them. I was out on the court in one the court yard listening to music up in one of my Sakura trees outside my bed room when one of my uncles came to get me for dinner. Me and my dad recently got into a fight so I knew he wouldn't be the one to come and get me. I walked into the dining hall and took my new spot next to Saito and souji away from my dad. I was enjoying my meal when my dad made a announcement   " azue has noticed us we have had the opportunity to go to a assessment you may participate in any one you want but the one you have to participate in is swords skill." He said smiling the men cheered I just sat there and continued to eat my dinner. My dad looked at me sternly " is there a problem?" He said to me crossing his arms. I rolled my eyes " no." I said looking down. He placed his fingers on the bridge of his nose stressing " your such a pain." He said rubbing his forehead " I'm such a pain? Your such a pain blaming me for everything I do." I mumbled getting up " where do you think your going?" My Dad said sternly " to my room where els would I go?" I said in the door way. I turned around but when o was about to leave my dad stopped me " you will participate to." He said I wiped around and looked at him in anger " what?!" I yelled " I'm not a solider yes I can hold a katana and I can fight pretty well with it but i don't want to be in new group!" I yelled at my dad " you must do as I say!" He yelled at me sternly " as if!" I yelled back "grace Fuji hijikata " you will participate in this assessment and come with us to Kyoto!" He Yelled standing up " you are not my commander!" I yelled slamming the door. I ran as fast as I could to the forest I have a hide out there only my uncles know about I built it when the fighting first started. I ran to the tree my house was In and climbed up the tree and into the house. I had a bag there that I would have food and drinks in it, I sat for a while thinking to my self.

                          At the dojo

" that was a little harsh don't you think toshi." Kando said " yes I do but she hasn't to learn she can't just keep acting up." Hijikata said folding his arms over his chest. " have you ever considered this could be some mental issues maybe she has a problem you should get her checked out.
