Party

The next few days were similar to how it went on the first day. Day 2 we worked on tea ceremonies. It was hell, I was terrible and no matter what, failed at something. I even broke a few tea cups. Even with my grace when I'm fighting or dancing, I was a huge klutz and it showed during this. All of the girls thought it was so funny and wouldn't let me hear the end of it. Sakura came through during this and helped me make my tea after the first few tries were terrible. I don't understand the point of a tea ceremony, especially since I don't like tea but whatever.

Day 3 we worked on language and the proper way a lady should talk. I of course failed at this too, well only in using it in the long run. I know how to talk properly and stuff, Mikoto knows that, so she tried to get me to use it all of the time. I didn't and never will. Every time I would cuss, I got hit so I had quite a few bruises at the end of the day.

All of the girls were surprised at my ability to talk so sophisticated, especially because of my age and use of bad words, but stopped caring when ever I would go back to my normal speak.

Day 4 was cooking. This day was pretty fun. I already knew how to do Onigiri from last time so that was easy. When we began to cook other foods, it was really bad. I blew up a pot which was so funny.

I was banned from cooking with heat and was taught how to make foods like salad instead. Totally fine with me I've never been a good cook. Science and cooking are similar but I could never figure out cooking the same way. Honestly if I have kids here, I need a husband who can cook for us. I was told this by Mikoto too, especially when she not-so-subtly said both Sasuke and Itachi can cook.

Day 5 was a continuation of cooking but for those of us interested in shinobi arts she taught us a few herbs that were deadly but when cooked into food relatively untraceable.

Day 6 was flower arrangement and identification. Flower arranging is fun and I got to make some really cool colorful bouquets. I didn't hate it like I thought. I also didn't know there were so many meanings for flowers. Mind blown. I also learned how to color flowers so I can finally make my favorite, black and turquoise roses. I definitely wasn't a pro in flower arrangement like Ino and I couldn't make dainty and pretty bouquets like Sakura, but I made really 'unique' ones.

The black roses surprisingly were a big hit and Ino asked to teach her to make them. We also made flower crowns which was fun because, even though I'm not a fan of pink, matching flowers to complement Sakura's pink hair and green eyes was fun. I can see the enjoyment in flower arrangements now.

Today is the day we get to show all we have learned in a ceremony that all of the clans attend. It's pretty scary to know that many people will be there to judge my lady-ness but oh well. I'm going to be ninja who will help ease peoples pain, not a housewife.

Around 1 it was time to start getting ready. We all went to Sakura's room since it was the cleanest and began to get ready. Mikoto had women come and help each of us. Mikoto of course came to help me, Sakura, and Ino get ready. Since their hair was short, they didn't do much except make sure it was super straight and had glitter clips holding it back. Mikoto helped me with my long hair, curling it and putting it into a half-up do with a glittery pin and had some pieces hang down around my face to frame it.

Ino was really good at makeup, even by standards beyond a child, and put it on for all of us. They were both really pretty but swore they needed more makeup then me no matter what I said. Then we each got dressed in our kimonos. Ino was wearing a floor length purple kimono with blue and black flowers. The obi around her waist was a pretty blue with yellow lining and her clan symbol on the back. It was overall really beautiful and looked good in contrast with her bleach blond hair.

Sakura was wearing a floor length bright red kimono with pink and green sakura flowers that matched her hair and eyes. The obi around her waist was pink with green lining. It really made her eyes stand out. I was put in a lavender (the color of my eyes) short kimono, because I always trip in the long ones, with dark blue and hot pink roses that all seemed to fall from the top and gather at the bottom of the kimono.

On the back my clan symbol stood proud. My obi was dark blue and had a pink trim. My kimono matched well with my hair and eyes, without making me look boring. We all looked like princesses and even though I'm no girly girl, I had fun getting ready with them. We were dancing around the room as we sang random songs I thought of while we were waiting for Mikoto to tell us when to start. I'll never understand how Ino and Sakura could be so graceful and move so well while wearing long, constricting kimonos.

After showcasing our growth as sweet little ladies we got to leave the stage and mingle. I found my parents and my mom gave me a big hug saying how good I was and how pretty I look. I gave dad a hug and he gave me a nod of approval. I was then introduced to a ton of clan people and had to greet them properly which was easy but boring. They all said how I was a prodigy and cute and so proper.

We ate dinner and had tea for dessert. Mom politely laughed at at my failures, hiding it behind poised posture and a dainty yet firm hand, but she said she expected worse. I call that a win. Finally, we got back together with our dance partners and danced. This was ok because all of the adults danced too. Sasuke came up to me in a yukuta and I laughed so hard at his scowl.

"Duckbutt you look so uncomfortable in that. You could have at least tried to make your hair less duckbutt-y to be so formal. You are already dressing like a prince, go act like one and sweep one of your fangirl's off of her feet and make her a princess." I said with a shit-eating grin on my face.

"Hn. Says the fangirl who dressed like a princess just to dance with me." He replied with a smug smirk.

"Awe duckbutt you think I look like a princess, I'm flattered." I placed my hand over my heart and laughed. He scoffed and looked away.

"That's not what I meant and you know it. You are just trying to make up for your lack of being a real girl by dressing like one."

"Damn you. I hate when you're right." I pouted and Sasuke smirked and spun me. I retaliated by forcing chakra in one of his tenketsu points on his hand to make it numb. He hissed in pain and I smiled. The dance ended and he walked off to go whine to Itachi about me messing with his hand. A new song started and Itachi bowed and asked me for a dance. Not in the mood for a lecture if I declined, I accepted.

"Sasuke is mad at you." Itachi said in his bored tone.

"I know. He deserved it."

"Hn?" Itachi asked eyes twinkling in the amusement he gets whenever Sasuke and I argue.

"He was right about me dressing girly to compensate for being a fail of a lady." I said with a halfhearted glare. Itachi leaned down and whispered in my ear.

"You're still cute even if you're not really a lady." I looked up at him annoyed pushing down a blush of embarrassment, it was as close to teasing as possible from the stoic boy. I'm still 4 damn it. Just because people advance fast here, and being 5 is the same as being 11 in my old world doesn't mean he gets to try to sweet talk me. I went to stomp on Itachi's foot but he lifted me before I could.

Sometimes I hate how perceptive he is. Annoyed, tired, and ready to go home, I finished my dance with Itachi, said bye to the rest of the Uchiha's, said bye to Ino and Sakura, and found my parents. I looked up at my mom with my puppy dog eyes and asked her to leave, yawning in the process.

Noticing my swaying from exhaustion, mom picked me up and carried me the rest of the way home, allowing me to fall asleep with a smile. Even with all my complaining and epic failures, it was a fun week and I finally have girl friends for the first time ever.
