a tantrum in my room

Ike hurried away from the meeting, unable to really look at anyone as she hide her face. The princess felt tears well in her eyes as the emotions became far too much to bear. She wanted to be a perfect child for her parents so bad, just like Ikigai. But she was so far behind her sister, she was the opposite of graceful and poised. She wasn’t nearly as creative or talented, She wasn’t as beautiful as Iki inside or out. Not with the nasty emotions that finally spilled over. Like her heart was going to burst, and hot tears of jealousy and anger spilled over her dual toned eyes.

She raced to a clearing in the white woods, somewhere away from everyone else where she could wallow in her feelings. She stewed in the emotions she felt towards her sister, and then in the same breath felt sorry and ashamed for how she felt. Kiyohime felt like a wreck and she didn’t know what to do about it. Frustration roared within her and before she could even think about it the girl stepped back and rammed forward. She headbutted the nearest tree as hard as she could.

With the echoing sound of two resounding cracks Ike’s jaw dropped and she carefully stepped from the tree. Both dual toned antlers fell from her head and dropped to her paws. Despair sounded from her throat and Ike was forced to sit back as she let the emotions overflow, she cried heavily, dumbstruck, shocked, and helpless as she invited crisis on her heart.
