In front of a nicely kept house with a beautiful garden a young girl with black hair that went to her mid-back and expressional brown, red flecked eyes. She was wearing a pink shirt with a white cat on it and white shorts. She looked to be around six years old and an air of innocence surrounded her. She was bouncing a purple ball in front of her house happily. Her ball bounced away and she ran to get it, she saw that the neighborhood bullies had picked it up and stepped back.
The leader had dark brown, messy hair and blue eyes. "Hey Minaminow, lost your ball?" He said tauntingly. They must have been around seven or eight years old.
"Uh….yes I-I did. May I please have it back?" She asked.
"Hey boys; wittle Minaminow wants her ball back." He said in a taunting baby voice making the three other boys laugh.
"Yes I do, may I have it back?" She placed her hands on her hips.
"Hm….let me see…uh NO!" She made a grab for the ball but one of the other boys held her back.
"Let me go!" Seeing nothing better to do to escape she bit the boys arm, hard enough to draw blood and make him let go. A pair of crimson eyes flashed in amusement.
"The little bugger bit me!" The boy gasped in surprise. She didn't have time to dodge the blow. Minaminow hit the ground with a small whimper; before another blow could be landed the leader was lifted into the air.
"Who are you?" He trembled when he looked into the smaller boys eyes.
"Hn, you must have sunken low to attack a girl." The young boy didn't seem amused. He threw the trembling boy to the ground and his three lackeys helped him up.
"Boo," That was all it took for the four boys to run off as if their pants were on fire. The little girl looked at the young boy. He had black gravity defying hair with a white star burst in the middle, black pants with two white buckles, a black shirt, and a white bandana over his forehead. When he looked over to her she saw the most beautiful crimson eyes she had ever seen.
"Thank you for helping me." She smiled at him.
"You have to learn to defend yourself, next time I won't be around to help." He didn't smile at her when he left but she wasn't discouraged. Humming, she went inside with thoughts about the mysterious boy.
As all things life moves on, people are forgotten, powers are found, adventures and quests that must be finished come, and the past is left behind.
Though fate had plans for the two children, and when fate wanted something to happen it would. They would not see each other until enough time passed and in ten years they would.
