Hayabusa walked passed Hanabi without looking at her.
”Don't get yourself in trouble,” he said. ”Stop acting like an unrefined lady. It's irritating.”
Kagura and Hayabusa left the scene leaving Hanabi.
She scoffed in disbelief. She stuck her tongue out at the couple whom she hates. An idea suddenly came into her mind.
”A small revenge won't hurt you. Might as well have some fun,” Hanabi said to herself.
The next day, Hanabi woke up early to prepare for the festival. While doing her make up, a woman the same as her age came knocking on her door.
”Come in,” she said while looking at the mirror.
”Hayabusa will come and escort you in 30 minutes,” she said. Hanabi simply said ok and continued fixing her hair.
After a few moments, she's ready. Her hair was let loose while other strands of her hair was tied into a bun. She used few pins to secure them in place. She, then, used the hairpin that she got from her mother.
After some time, a soft knock was heard. She smirked.
”Shall we?” she said as she opens the sliding door. She held Hayabusa's arm before they walk through the hallway. Outside the house, Chief Haruno and Hyuuga are waiting for their arrival. Upon seeing the two taking their exit from the house, Chief Haruno felt ecstatic.
”I can already imagine what their offspring would look like,” Chief HAruno commented. ”They look perfect together.”
”I agree with you. They are also skilled and are still training so I see no reason for them to not be together,” replied Hyuuga.
As the two youngsters approach them, they both bowed in respect.
They started the parade with the chief village and Hyuuga leading while Hanabi and Hayabusa are just behind him. Kagura follows after the two and she's staring intently at Hanabi who seems to be enjoying being clingy towards her lover.
”Your lover is staring daggers at me,” Hanabi said as she waves back to the audience.
”Well, she fully knows that your place should be hers,” Hayabusa replied.
”Well, if she wants this position, you two should make ways to be legally together,” Hanabi said. ”Hiding your relationship will make you guys a cheater and a mistress if ever we get married.”
Hayabusa clenched his fist to contain his anger. He already thought of telling the chief village that Kagura is his lover but going against him would put Kagura's and his situation in a bad one. He doesn't want that scenario to happen.
”I could help,” Hanabi said after a while. ”I could take the cheating blame. Let us say that I am the one who cheated.”
”And how will you do that?” Hayabusa asked, his curiosity got over him.
”I will do my part as long as you help me kill the shadow traitor,” Hanabi replied. ”Then, I must take the credit and have the title of Scarlet Shadow Grandmaster.”

Hayabusa scoffed in exasperation. ”That is contradicting the cheating part. If you took the credit, we'll be forced in marriage even if you cheat.”
”Let us discuss the details after the festival,” Hanabi said. ”Let me enjoy this grand fest first.”
Kagura, who has been watching the two, wanted to run towards them and give them a kick. She's been misunderstanding the situation. She doesn't like the way Hanabi clings onto Hayabusa. She hates the way they whisper something to each other.
”Just go and make a ruckus,” Hanzo said who has been observing her.
Kagura glared at him. ”Why the hell are you here?”
”I'm the son of the chief village,” Hanzo replied. ”Ain't that obvious?”
”Hayabusa seems to be more like the son than you,” Kagura said with a sly smile.
”That isn't surprising,” Hanzo replied. ”I'm not talented.”
”Ohhhh, poor you,” Kagura teased as she patted his head.
”You should pity yourself,” Hanzo said with a smile. ”Your lover is being taken away.”
Hanzo walked faster, leaving Kagura annoyed with his statement.
