A Morning at the Inn

Early in the morning, sunlight slowly streamed through the windowsill into the room, stretching across the floor until it reached the bedsheets. Hyuga Aya opened her eyes in confusion.

The instant she woke up, her body went rigid.

An unfamiliar environment, a strange smell that seemed like Bradford pear blossoms, and a faint ache throughout her body?

It was not exactly pain, but rather an indescribable sense of exhaustion.

Hyuga Aya felt as though her head were swelling. She had never experienced such a feeling before.

Most importantly, she could not seem to remember what exactly she had done last night.

"What is going on? My body feels tired, and I do not even want to move. My head is throbbing, and my memory seems to be missing pieces. What is wrong with me? And this place is obviously not my home. It looks more like some kind of inn... and that smell."

Hyuga Aya looked utterly baffled, but once she became a little more alert, her body stiffened again.

She suddenly realized that there seemed to be someone behind her, someone wrapping their arms around her waist from behind.

More importantly, she seemed to have just noticed that her neck was resting on this person's arm.

At that instant, Hyuga Aya felt as though her memories had returned. Everything that had happened last night flooded back into her mind.

"Damn it, no wonder there are three taboos for Ninja. Alcohol really causes trouble!" Hyuga Aya cursed inwardly. "And that bastard Uchiha Kei, he actually... he actually..."

Hyuga Aya inwardly cursed Uchiha Kei
