[dated back to the night Hiashiko is brought before the Hyuuga Elders to explain how the hell her twin is still alive]

( She laced her fingers together before her and did not sit. She would stand as her son did, for this was the world changing beneath their feet. )

[happens immediately after Unexplained Weightloss]After taking her leave from Hiashiko, while Nejiko kept her course away from the buildings she checked her stride so she would look as if she were on some business, village or clan it mattered not so much as she appeared unapproachable save for a matter of importance. She would leave through the ( Read more... )

The night after the gala asplosions.Despite the warm days in the Fire Country, the nights were cool. It was blessed relief from the smells the heat had caused all during the day, though blood and the smell of bombs hung in the air. It still made something cold and uneasy curl in his stomach, those smells and the memory of the sounds. Some shinobi ( Read more... )

[ooc: takes place after Aftermath and before By the Prickling of My Thumb]

( Hanabi had realized that this was one of the reasons the male family members had to beat their potential mates with shovels should they prove foolish enough to deserve it - because that way they got landed with the murder rap instead of the woman, who undoubtedly would have done worse. )
