The hidden wonderland
The greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being.
Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lamat
I stood there watching at my grandmother's grave. It started to rain but I didn't move. I couldn't feel it, it was like the rain was going threw me hitting the ground like I wasn't even there. I wanted to move but I couldn't… everything was so weird but was feeling so good at the same time. Suddenly I wasn't in front of my grandmother' grave anymore. Everything was black and there was no ground under my feet.
"Sakura" I heard someone calling and I looked up to see my grandmother walking in my direction. I wanted to speak but I couldn't. She kept walking till she passed through me I looked at her and she looked back at me and said one last thing.
"Everything is going to change, be prepared" she said smiling and then disappear.
I was left alone in the dark until I hard someone weakly calling my name at first but it got louder till I could recognize my mother's voice.
"Wake up darling, today is your first day when you will go to MA academy and we will not see you for a long time" she said as she exited the door.
It was right. Today I was going to leave my house and come back only on holydays and in days I was allowed to because today it was my first day at Mystique Academy. I just moved here yesterday and already leaving my family. I didn't even bother to unpack knowing that if I did that then today I would have to pack everything again. Mystique Academy was an academy for 'special' teenagers. What do I mean by special. People that weren't humans. Yes, like vampires and other creatures. What I was, well that is something I am not allowed to say but I'll say it this once. I'm a Balcoin witch. Balcoin witches were very strong witches that were coming from the Balcoin clan. They were the first witches on the earth and also the purest of them all. They were using dark magic, a magic that was stronger than anything else. Because they were so strong the Balcoin clan was use for the interest of powerful humans. Hundreds of years ago the Balcoin clan was known as the most powerful clan that ever existed. More powerful that vampires, werewolves, psychic or anything else. Seeing that the powerful humans that were craving for more gained the Balcoin's trust and made them do what they wanted. When the clan found out that they were being use they killed the humans that tricked them and hide themselves. In this day the Balcoins were just a legend even in the 'other world' as I call it.
Oh my, how rude of myself, I haven't introduced myself. I am Sakura Balcoin now known as Sakura Haruno since I changed my name long ago, actually I was a pre blooded Balcoin since both of my parents were Balcoins but we didn't had the name of Balcoin since long ago because wanting the world to think that the Balcoin family was dead we changed our name long ago into Haruno. Also did I forgot to add, the Balcoins were immortal so I had the honor to hear the clan story from the fonder itself. A beautiful lady. Even thought that she had mote than 300 years she looked amazing. Why? Well that's because we stop aging when we turn 18. I am 16 and I can't wait to turn 18. I have two choices. One – I can pretend to be a teenager forever and keep going to school faking my acts. Tow – I can use a spell to fake my look, like my parents did and go to work. And of course I have and a third choice but because that is not going to happen I excluded it earlier. I could get married with and supernatural being and live an eternity with him and of course we could do what we wanted. We could go to school together and say that we were a couple or we could go to work but , of course, I didn't think to much of that since I don't like being tied with someone. I like to be free.
I left my be and went into my bathroom. I looked in the mirror and saw my reflection. I was really tired because I couldn't sleep all night. My shot hair was messy. Even though it reached just my shoulders it looked longer. It was straight and pink as always but it was spread in every direction. My big green eyes were half closed and because of my big eyelashes they seemed like they were close but they weren't. I looked in the mirror to see if my lips were choked and was happy to see that they were as red and smooth as always. I had full red lips that personally didn't liked that much but they fitted perfectly on me.
I turned on the shower and let the hot water caress my naked body. I was pretty happy with my appearance. Beside my beautiful face I had a hot body too. I was slim and had all the right curves in all the right places. I had a big chest, well not exaggerated but enough to make any boy droll over them. A nice ass I could say and long creamy legs. It may sound like I am a little narcissistic but trust me, I'm not. I think every person is beautiful in his or her own way. I just told you what people told me when they described me.
Leaving that, I got out of my shower and I wrapped a towel around me and then quickly dried my hair and brushed my teeth and went into my bedroom where I already prepared my clothes for 'the big day'. I dressed with some light brown shorts and used a white thin belt to get them not to fall. I put on then an short sleeved aquamarine sheer blouse that had a little bow made from it's hems just on top of my belly. I put on some white flats that had some sparkling stones in front and some cute silver bracelets and went downstairs.
"Good morning dad" I said as I planted a kiss on his cheek.
"Good morning beautiful" he said as he smiled to me and put his coffee on the table. As I sit at the table to eat my breakfast I heard him say.
"Enjoy your breakfast as I will carry you thing in you car"
"Ok dad" I said thinking how good sounded ' your car'. Oh yeah, you heard right. On my sixteen birthday when I got my driving license my parents bought me a white Ferrari 458 Italia Spider. It was perfect. I was convertible when it was hot so I could feel the wind in my hair and when it was cold or raining it would turn to normal. Just perfect.
"Here honey. I made your favorite breakfast. Eggs Benedict and for desert some Blueberry Cheesecake Flapjacks and Raspberry-Cinnamon French Toast" her mother said smiling at her. Even though she was smiling I could see that she was sad.
"Wow mom, you shouldn't have to. But thank you, I'll eat it all because it looks so tasty and who knows when I'm going to eat something as good as this" I said already eating.
My mothers laughed and said "Honey, that is a school for rich kids so I'm sure you are going to eat delicious food since we are paying a lot of money".
"Mom, you know I wouldn't have minded to go to a normal school. You didn't have to spend so much money on my" I said already finishing my Benedict Eggs and starting to eat my Blueberry Cheesecake Flapjacks.
"Sakura, you know money are not a problem for us so why worry so much?'
"You're right mom" I said with my mouth full.
"Honey, don't speak with you mouth full. I taught you better than that" my mom said in a mocking tone.
"Sorry" I said as I was already eating my Raspberry-Cinnamon French Toast. The food was so good. It was just melting in my mouth.
After I finished breakfast I went to my car and saw my dad waiting for me in front of my car. I hugged him and my mother came and hugged me too. She started crying and I couldn't help but giggle.
"Mom, it's not like it's the end of the world, so don't cry, ok" I said as I was whipping her tears.
"Don't forget to text me sometimes and tell me hoe things are."
"Sakura" I heard my dad's serious voice behind me. "In your white bag I've put you the Balcoin's spell book. I don't want you to let anyone read the book when you are not there actually I don't even want someone to see the book or know that it exists but if is an emergency then use it even if someone is around. It's not a problem if they look in the book but they can not read it so you can not in any circumstances lend the book to someone, ok?" he asked in a serious tone.
"I understand"
"And also I want you to read and memorize the spells in the book when you are gone. Some of them are spells created by Balcoin witches and those are just for our family ok?"
"Yes dad. Know excuse me. I have to go or I'm going to be late since the MA academy is in another dimension" I said in a funny tone.
They let go of me and I left. As I felt the wind blowing threw my hair I couldn't help but wonder what kind of people I will meet there.
As I saw a sign of 'Do not go any further. The road is not finished' I accelerate and go on. If someone would've seen me they would think that I was committing suicide but I wasn't. as I saw the road end I went faster and in a blink of a moment I already left the human dimension and I was in my hidden wonderland. I was in Konoha. Konoha was an alternative dimension created by the powerful supernatural creatures to host the 'special' ones. It was a very beautiful. More beautiful than the human world actually. So beautiful that I don't have a word to describe it.
As I saw the big golden gates of MA I slowed down. It was beautiful. The gates were formed by thin golden bars put together and in the middle on it, it was written with diamonds M A. As I entered I crossed a bridge that was over a big lake. The water from the lake was coming from the beautiful cascade from my left side. The academy was on some kind of island because every year the island will move and we go to a different place, like a trip if you want to say so, and then after one month of no school and just fun it will come back and things will be like before. That's what I probably like the most about this school. And every year the location would be a surprise for the students. Even though here is always summer we still get the Christmas holyday to go and spend it with our families. As I parked my car in the school parking lot I got out. No one was here because everyone is spending their free time and breaks in the interior courtyard or in the town. And FYI the interior courtyard was huge, like the school itself. It looked just like a castle but it was bigger than one.
As I was staring at the huge building in front of me I didn't notice someone behind me. As I turned I saw a petite woman with short black hair. The average type of woman. Not beautiful but not ugly either.
"Good day" she said smiling. "I am Shizune and I will guide you way here" she said and started walking and I followed her. I wanted to tell her about my baggage but when I turned and looked at my car three people were already carrying them in my room, at last I hope so.
"She is lady Tsunade. The principal of this school." Shizune said after we entered a big beautiful room.
"Nice to meet you. I am Haruno Sakura." I said turning my attention to Tsunade.
"Nice to meet you as well Sakura. It must be hard for you to move here in the middle of the semester but don't worry, people here are really kind." She said smiling. She was a real beauty. A really big chest, too big if you ask, blond hair and honey eyes. Really mesmerizing. "Now, about the school rules. There are only a few but you got to be careful. One – You can not tell anyone who you don't trust what are you. If you tell someone is your problem to handle. Two – You are allowed to use you power in school but not for hurting other physically. Three – Leaving school in the class hours is forbidden and the ones who do will be punished. Understood? " she looked at Sakura under her long lashes.
"Yes ma'am" Sakura said smiling. She really liked the woman in front of her and that was something because for Sakura to like strangers that were older than her, and to like them from the first time she met them is really something because she was always careful about her surroundings.
"Now, about your staying here. Your room mate is Ino Yamanaka. Shizune will show you the way."
As I was about to leave the room I turned around and said.
"I really like you. And from the first time that I met you. I think you are really kind" I said looking at her.
"I really like you too, Sakura Balcoin" she said grinning.
"How do you know?" I asked being in pure state of shock.
"I was the one that helped the Balcoin clan to change their name and it wasn't hard to guess for me who you are after the symbol in your palm" she said.
"I feel better that I know you know who I truly am" I said feeling like a rock had been lifted from my heart." And thank you" I said before leaving.
"A very interesting girl I see, and very powerful as well" Tsunade said to herself smiling thinking abut Sakura.
As I entered my room I saw al my stuff in here already. Seems like my room mate is not here for a moment. I think I will sleep because I'm really tired. I will start classes tomorrow. I thought as I leaned in my bed and let the sleep take over me.
After a while I heard voices in the room and if I didn't know I was sleeping I would thought I was going crazy. I opened my eyes slowly and stood on my butt at the edge of the bed facing the people that were standing in the bed next to me and on the floor. I couldn't see very good so I rubbed my eyes. Suddenly everything became clear. In the bed stood a blond haired girl with blue eyes, next to one with black long hair and white eyes and one with two brown buns and brown eyes. Next to the bun girl stayed a boy with white eyes like the girl from before and long brown heir. On the floor in front of the bed stood a blond boy with blue eyes that looked like a puppy, so cute, I thought, a boy that had brown eyes and a high pony tail that made his head looked like an pineapple and a boy with black eyes and spike dark hair. Chicken butt I thought to myself. They were all staring at me.
"Oh my, did you wake you up? We didn't mean to." Said the blond haired girl.
"If you didn't want to wake me up you wouldn't speak so loud" I said rudely.
They looked at me in a way I couldn't tell what it was. I sighted. "Sorry. It was a long way here and I am really tired. It's ok that you woke me up. I should've wake up myself otherwise I wouldn't be sleeping tonight. I'm Sakura Balc…Haruno. One of yours room mate." Shit, it almost slipped me. But after talking to Tsunade today all I did was to think of my clan.
"My roommate to be more exact." Said the blond haired girl. "I'm Ino Yamanaka. Nice to meet you" she said smiling at Sakura. "They are my friends. Hinata, the one with the long dark hair, TenTen the one with the buns, Neji, Hinata's cousin and TenTen's boyfriend. Shikamaru, the one with the spiky ponytail, my boyfriend, Naruto, the blondie that is Hinata's boyfriend and Sasuke that is a player so I warn you" said Ino giggling.
"Nice to meet you" I said and they responded the same way to me.
"So Sakura…" begin Naruto. "What are you?" he asked giving me the puppy dog face.
"Not telling and that is not going to work on me" I said grinning.
"Aw, c'mon. Look I'll tell you what we are" Naruto said as I looked at the others to see if they were against it. Seemed like it didn't bothered them that Naruto was going to tell a complete stranger what they actually were. " Me and Sasuke are vampires, Neji and Shikamaru are psychics and the girls are vampires too." She said grinning like he just discovered a mine of gold. " And you…?"
"I am a witch" I said expecting their reaction and I got to say that it was not like the what-so-ever reaction that I expected.
"Really? That's so cool." Said Ino.
"Can you make things fly?" asked Naruto excited.
I grinned and closed my eyes concentrating on a imagine of a Naruto flying in the room. When I opened them he as smiling so hard that I was afraid his face will break. I started to move him in the room.
"Whoa. This is so freaking cool. You guys should try this out too." He said laughing.
I couldn't help but laugh myself.
"Oh! I want to try this too." Ino said excited like a three years old kid that just got a lollipop.
I looked at her and lifted her too. I stared moving her in the room like they were a feather.
"Isn't this hard?" I heard someone asking and turned to see it was Neji.
"No, something like this is already so easy for me" I replied smiling.
"So, from what clan are you?" Shikamaru asked and I almost dropped Ino and Naruto that were flying in the room.
