"What I want is simple, Keldran Fuma. I want my Granddaughter to enter into an arranged marriage and by doing so boost the Setsuna to nobility. Chisa is precious to me; although I may have ulterior motives when it comes to the Setsuna as a whole, I have the same reasoning as her parents. When I pass on from this life, who will teach her the ways of this world? Who will care for my granddaughter and who will protect the Setsuna?" The air was tense, and the grandmother was about as agressive as Keldran at this point, an equal force with equal emotions. "I want her to either give up the life of a shinobi for a safer life or live her life beside a shinobi so she may realize that she has things to lose! Chisa is still a naive child. For someone of greater skill than her, for her to realize that she has no strength in that department, is my goal!"

Masumi's face darkened. She hated her mother-in-law. This was why. Chisa's life was her own; although Kaide cared for Chisa, certainly, she had twisted ideals. It was simply because Kaide's husband and daughter died by the way of the shinobi life. But that was the risk. Her eyes narrowed. "Chisa is not Hagure or Saide. She won't die like they did." She murmured under her breath. Yuuto squeezed his wife's hand. He hated remembering the deaths of his father and sister, but he wouldn't let that prevent his child from following the path she wanted to take.

Her grandmother would turn, snarling. "You don't decide whether she lives or dies!"

'''"Neither of you decide anything for me." '''

With shock, all of the family seemed to turn to Chisa as she tore away from her family's grip. "I'm not doing this for anyone but myself. I have my own damn goals in all of this! Keldran Fuma is supposed to be really, really strong. I want to live the life a shinobi. I want to do this for my family, too. I want all of you to be safe but I want to follow my own path!" She'd glance at Keldran and mouth a small sorry. "I want this arranged marriage because I feel like I can learn from this man. I may not love him, hell, I may not even feel any particular way and I may be inexperienced but listen, damn it! I... want this." She'd step towards Keldran and bow. "I want to get stronger. Not only that, but I want to satisfy my family's desires. I will offer you our wealth. I will offer you my body. Eventually, I will offer you my heart. In the end, if it's not you it's going to be someone else. I'm sick of all this song and dance. I hate wondering who I'm gonna be paired off with. I'd rather voice my own specific choices, even if it may not be my perfect dream it's still part of my dream and frankly this will be what I make of it and if Keldran is really as strong as they say then I'll get what I want."

Her family would stare, astounded. Chisa had finally found her voice. Although, her wants for this marriage were selfish. But surely, his would be too. She wanted to feel secure of her future for once. She'd bow to Keldran. "So, I don't know anything about you. Only what I've heard. Only from rumors. But I won't pry. And if all of that isn't good enough, I can cook the best damn meal you'll ever taste. I can design the most beautiful blades you'll ever see. I can take command of a business and make it thrive. So, please, consider it."

All three of the other family members were taken back by this, unable to speak at Chisa's sudden show of dominance regarding the situation. Even the grandmother, who had told her not to speak, couldn't retaliate.

She'd remain bowing, her blonde hair touching the ground ever so slightly.

Chisa's father, Yuuto, simply smiled. He had expected this to happen. He had pulled Chisa to the side, had talked to her. Had made sure this was what she really wanted. He wouldn't have let it go through if it wasn't. He had the smile of a wise, knowing man on his face. He was glad she was finally able to have a voice.
