“I expect proper behavior today Kayako. Do as I have taught you.” A heavy hand met her shoulder, a firm gaze was to follow from her father. The small child simply nodded her head as she adjusted her red kimono, her eyes shifting to her mother who had been fixing her younger sisters hair. A rather melancholy expression rested on Kayako's face. To pretend to be a noble family, a happy family, that is what he expected out of her, out of all of them. Perhaps it was strict and unrealistic, but life gave way for no error.

“I understand father.” was the short response she gave as she approached her sister who whose hair had finally been done. The child had only been a little over a year old, but her parents had already insisted on her being a show pony. It was rather sad to Kayako, but that's just how things were in the Senju clan.

“Father, I will take watch over Tanoshimi at the party so that you and mother can mingle with the other guests.” She'd bow and take the small child into her arms, smiling softly as she carried her outside to the carriage that awaited them. Kijo and Kayu hadn't said a word, rather they just watched their eldest daughter exit the house.

Outside, Kayako held a finger out to her sister, wiggling it back and forth, a warm smile on her face as the baby reached to grab a hold of it. It was moments like this were the child felt happy, not burdened by her fathers strict teachings, not burdened by the cloud of melancholy that washed over her nearly constantly. However, the moment her parents came outside, that tide came back, the smile fading into an almost frown as she got into the carriage, Tanoshimi in her arms. Once her parents joined her, the door was shut and they headed to Kogakure.

As they arrived to Hyuga household a wave of anxiety washed over Kayako, but she held her head high as her family approached the main entrance. Kijo and Kayu had rang the door bell, Kayako standing behind them with her sister in her arms. Once the door had opened, Kayako peeked between her parents, staring at the boy who had opened the door.

“Hello. I am Kijo Senju, head of the Senju clan. This is my wife Kayu and my two daughters Kayako and Tanoshimi.” as he said his daughters names he'd step out of the way. Kayako would offer a slight bow, holding Tanoshimi close to her.

“Pleasure to meet you.” she whispered, attempting to be as cordial as possible.
