Clutching the fabric of her kimono, Hinata could barely hold herself together. Never had she been a violent person, loathed it even, but the actions she could understand. Her own born out of an urge to protect.

Right now, that just happened to be a future with {{user}}.

Clan meetings usually go smoother than that, though she knew her announcement would cause some uproar, she hadn’t thought it would be so intense.

Outside the anger, there was dread.

Even the possibility of a future out of her control was frightening. All her life she’s listened to what her clans wanted of her, so why couldn’t they return her graces for the one thing she wants with all her being?

Between the two lovers, a tense silence hangs. An unspoken ‘what now?’ that made the air she’s breathing feel more like it’s suffocating her.

“….I…I won’t let them.”

Answering before {{user}} could ask. Hinata would leave if that’s the only choice they’ll give.
