The soft morning glow of the sun was just settling in on the village of Seiki, and already plenty of the villagers were out and about, tending to their daily chores. Harvesting, fishing, cleaning, the whole works. Ren was sitting on the floor in the one-bedroom hut, having just pulled her hair up into two buns on each side of her head. In it, she fastened a small cherry blossom comb on the right side. It was just another normal passing day to Ren, as the villagers did relatively well of holding the façade of everything being fine. People were smiling, but inside they were on edge. Too many people wondered, would their husbands be returning home? Their sons? Who would make it back home alive, and who wouldn’t. 

But these thoughts weren’t on Ren’s mind. Her mother had simply informed her that he father was gone on an expedition with a few of the other men of the village, and they would be home soon enough. It had been a few days since anyone had returned, and when Ren’s eyes glanced at the Serpent Mountains, she could see the dark gathering cloud. It may rain in the afternoon, Ren determined, watching what seemed to be a fierce thunderstorm brewing. [b]“Ren!”[/b] A sweet voice called from the entrance to her home, her mother poked her head around the corner. [b]“Ren, dear. I have to go visit Elder Tanaka and make sure she is doing well. The Ito family is wanting a few of our cherry blossoms for cooking. Would you pick them for me and take those to them?”[/b] Ren nodded apprehensively as her mother disappeared again from the entrance. It wasn’t an uncommon chore for Ren and wasn’t one that she hated. Grabbing a basket, she left her hut and moved to the cherry blossom tree that grew behind their home. According to her mother, the cherry blossom tree was as old as their family’s history, and had belong to them for just as long.

Ren didn’t know whether what her mother said was true or not, and it also didn’t really matter. She just loved the smell of the blossoms as they were blooming. Seeing the tree always brought back memories of her and her best friend Rai playing. He was a lot faster than she was at climbing the tree, as he always wanted to race her to the top. Then he would tease her about being a slow slug. Mean, but that’s how little kids could be right? With the basket slung over her shoulder, Ren patiently climbed the tree, sticking her foot in familiar holes and gashes that she knew were strong enough to hold her weight, and allow her to keep her balance. Resting on one of the thick branches, Ren shimmied her way towards a branch full of blossoms and began to pick the flowers. The aroma was practically intoxicating, and it allowed Ren to put her guard down. Her eyes scanned the village, as she had almost the perfect view now of the center area, where town folk intermingled with one another. Thinking of Rai, she wondered whether her mischievous friend was awake or not. If the villagers could describe their friendship, yin and yang would be the first thing to come to mind.

Where Rai ran around, wreaking havoc, terrorizing chickens or cattle, and getting himself involved in places he shouldn’t be, Ren was often found right behind him, quickly apologizing to the villagers and attempting to clean up Rai’s messes. One would wonder why it was they were friends, when they were so different. Ren sometimes wondered herself, as her mother often scolded her for ‘being involved with that boy’. But he was fun and exciting! And village life was so boring. Ren couldn’t be ever more thankful for her mischievous friend, even if he picked on her every now and again. Her eyes glinted to the Serpent Mountains, where the dark cloud continued to hover. [color=pink]“Maybe one day I’ll adventure beyond there…”[/color] Ren sighed wistfully, continuing to pick blossoms into her basket.
