Regardless of what she was doing, Kuni Hinata would suddenly be assaulted by the sound of her ringtone as it blared alive. Caller ID would signify it was her Mother's number. |

Hinata answered quickly, not wanting to anger her parents.
"Moshi moshi, is that you mom?"

"ARE YOU DATING THE CROWN PRINCE?!" The voice of her mother rang out like a cannon on the wall. In the background she could hear her father chiming in.
"Kami sakes, Maruta, you're gonna blow her ears out!"

"OW! My ears!"
Hinata took a moment to recover, and held the phone a little ways from her ear.
"Yes, I am."

"Oh my kami she is, Haroru!" Her mother called back, voice fading out before coming back to the phone. "When did you start dating?! Who asked who to go out? Was it the prince?! I bet it was the prince!"

Hinata chuckled.
"Well, we only started dating a few days ago. He was the one who asked, though, yes."

There were no words that came back, but she could hear what sounded like an almost imperceptible sharp, flat like noise on the other end of the line. The sounds of soft scratching came next, followed by her fathers voice.
"Hey sweetie, your mom overheated a bit, so she's taking a breather," Haroru spoke in exasperated tone, "When did you two start dating anyway? I thought you just met?"

Hoo boy, he was going into protective dad mode. This would be fun.
"We, uh, we did. Just meet, I mean. But...I do not know, we have a lot of chemistry, I think."
She paused. Should she tell her dad they had already said they loved each-other and were thinking of arranging a marriage? It had only been a few days, but the circumstances called for it...of course, she doubted her father would understand that. He was going to find out anyway once the Nakodo's people came knocking, though, so it was probably better for her to tell him than them.
"...we, um...we really do love each-other and..."
Hinata trailed off before she could say the words, fearing what his reaction might be. She cleared her throat, mustering her courage.
"We are going to arrange a miai to see if I am a suitable candidate for marriage."

"Whoa, hold on, love each other? Going to arrange a miai? Hinata, sweetie, that's lightning quick decisions. You're not some Kakita heart duelist here," His words carried a tone of discontent, a man trying to catch up with his daughters life in less than a weeks time.
"If he says he loves you back, I mean, great! It's the crown prince after all! I just wish you had told us you were gonna do this sooner. I mean, we just learned your dating, and it turns out our daughter is already looking to get hitched."
There was a small pause, the phone shifting again. "Got a date for the miai?"

"Not yet. And...I know it is a fast decision, but...well, a lot of samurai get married without even having met the other person first. Plus, if we do not act soon he could end up married off to someone else. We do have to keep in mind his age and social position..."
