Forced to Marry, but Forced to Love?

Chapter 17- Missions And a Hint of Jealousy

"I need to use the bathroom." Hime finally said after shifting in her seat for a while.

"Oh, d-do you want m-me to wait for y-you then?" Hinata asked.

"That might be the best course if action since I haven't explained a thing to you yet.." Hime stroked her imaginary beard.

"Th-then I'll just w-wait for you o-outside." Hinata said, picking up her plates.

"Alright, I'll be right back yes~!" Hime got up and ran off. Hinata sighed.

"Want me to join you?" Kuro asked, picking up his and now Hime's empty and discarded plates.

"S-sure, if you w-want." Hinata smiled slightly.

"Y-you and Hime-Kun seem close..." Hinata trailed off, trying to start up a conversation.

"Yes, and?" Kuro questioned, raising an eyebrow,

"W-well... I though sh-she didn't h-have-"

"Contact with people, right?" Kuro finished. Hinata nodded.

"She had limited contact, and I was the only person who was able to contact her, and get her food and necessities she needed." Kuro explained.

"D-Does this mean y-you're older than u-us?"

"No, we're all the same age."

"B-but how was sh-she taken care of a-as a baby?" Hinata questioned. "Where is h-her mother? It's all so confusing.." Hinata frowned.

"Seers are pretty unique, but they don't ever see their life as unfortunate." Kuro said randomly, brushing off her questions.

"But because they're unique they have certain advantages, as well as certain disadvantages. She never got to live a normal life as an civilian, or ninja in training. Her mother died in giving her birth, as it happens to all Seers. Isolated from others, she was abandoned in a far away place to grow up. Raised by animals for her first few years of life, she began to learn about using her abilities. When I came by, she began to learn about her history with the books I brought. They're so carefree, they always know what going to happen before it does. That's how they always find their way back here and don't hold a grudge. They basically know everything, and there's even a possibility that can see into the past, or even see in other places. There's still plenty we don't know about them, those Seers. Hime won't answer a thing, always smiling unless something happens she doesn't like, then she gives off that mocking frown of hers." Kuro answered Hinata's questions and more.

"She's so unpredictable, but she always seems to know what she's doing. But.." Kuro trailed off. Hinata looked at him in curiosity.

"Hm?"

"Never mind." Kuro shook his head. "It's kinda creepy, meeting someone who doesn't ever seem stop smiling, never opens their eyes, knows your future, what you're going to do, why you're going to die, when you're going to die.. But doesn't do a thing to prevent it."

"That's.. A bit unnerving.." Hinata shuddered.

"I'm back~" Hime sang, running outside.

"Hime." Kuro smiled, patting her head, making her giggle a bit.

"I just remembered! We have to get Hinata a new outfit!" Hime grabbed Kuro's arm, grinning excitedly.

'A new outfit?' Hinata wondered.

"Yep! I think it would look nice- oh what do you think of a cloak? Hmmm... Maybe a skirt? No, no skirt quite yet, we'll stick with something skin tight but not too tight for easy mobility before you get onto this level. Maybe ninja boots too, and you'll definitely need bandages- oh come on!" Hime grabbed Hinata's arm as well, which surprised the Heiress since Hime seemed to know where everything was without having to open her eyes.
