Yume had originally planned to do some reading today, maybe to enhance her understanding of the elements or research a way to improve her acupuncture, but all thoughts of learning something had been dashed when she showed up at her Aunts this morning. She shared the Inuzuka bloodline with her cousins but found it so impossible to get along with them or anyone else directly related to her who wasn't her brother, Shinjin. Everyone else in her family always looked at them funny when they were seen together and whispered obscenities about them when they thought they were outside of Yume's excellent hearing. They all thought it was wrong that Yume and Shinij lived with each other when there was room in the family home. The Inuzuka clan was fiercely loyal to one another but many couldn't help but think that Kara's children were some how diseased by being raised near the surface and having a father that wasn't one of them. Yume lay on her back on a bench outside of the learning annex and stared up at the ceiling with a scowl, boring a hole into the hardened earth with her eyes where she knew the sun was shining above it. Four long years and she hadn't seen the sun since her beloved mother died. Tears seeped out from the corners of her eyes as she heard her aunt's chastising words again.
You should live with the Inuzuka where you belong. Your brother doesn't exhibit the traits of the family. It's the outsider’s blood in him, but you were blessed to carry the blood of the beasts in you. It's very indecent for you and Shinji to be so close any way. He shouldn't take advantage of your feelings like that, Yume. It’s indecent for siblings to be in love.
Take advantage of? In love with Shinji? They were the twisted people who kept the bloodline pure by being inbred, but it was she and Shinji who were ostracized for taking care of one another. Yes she loved her brother, but not like that. Hearing her aunt call her father ‘The Outsider’ was almost too much but being accused of being Shinji’s lover? Yume had left the complex without a word. It was hard enough not to strike her aunt but she knew that if she said good-bye, she would say more than she was wanting to. Sometimes she felt that CuRua was the only one who understood her.
