Love By Chance

A young woman walked down Konoha's main broadway, peering into the various shops and that lined this main artery. She was looking for something to bring home to her younger siblings, considering their birthdays would be coming up soon. Hopefully her mother remembered their birthdate this time, instead of occupying herself with "other" affairs. Shigemi sighed, looking at her reflection in one of the shop's windows. A fair amount of time had passed since she last saw her childhood friend, one who had convinced the "Girl of the Hearth" to break out of her shy shell. She had taken to following him in those days despite being older, recognizing his lion-hearted nature as a quality she admired. But alas, Kiyoshi's family elected to send him to live with his grandparents, leaving the shy one to her own devices once more. Yet she felt a confidence that had been poked and prodded into life becoming a warming blaze within. For that at least, she was thankful. Hopefully the time would come when she saw him again. Shaking her head of such blissful thoughts, Shi returned to browsing, looking for something that would strike the twins' fancy.
