~Dark's Innocence~
A long, long time ago…..there lived a priestesses, by the name of Hanadori.
She was most beautiful and fair, and any man or noble who set eyes on her, wanted to keep her for themselves; Like a beautiful treasure meant to be sought out by men and worshiped once had.
But, Hanadori was not interested in men…in fact, she did not believe that love even existed. For all the violence and tragedy she had witnessed in her short 17 years had taken it's toll on the poor maiden.
So…on she went, destroying evil demons, and bringing as much peace to man-kind as she could. Never giving one thought to love.
Over time…Hanadori began to become a legend; a legend that told of beautiful green eyes, and fair lotus colored hair that seemed to blaze in battle. A fierce warrior that was more than just a woman to the eyes of man, but like a goddess that had be reborn as this beautiful and fierce creature.
But, like all gods I suppose, Hanadori fell from grace in the summer of her 18th year.
Some say, it was just cruel fate, others say that she had no reason to live anymore, and merely withered away like blossoms on the cherry trees.
But Hanadori's fall from heaven was not because she had no more purpose; nor was it the hands of wicked fate that took her life….no, the real story is the most astonishing of all. Hanadori died….because she fell in love, with darkness in human flesh.
"….Hanadori….she was our ancestor?" I stopped everything I was doing, to look back at my grandmother; who was currently sitting and sipping tea.
At hearing my question, she set down the old pottery cup, and looked back around at me. Her eyes the same green color as my own.
"Yes, Sakura, and she is one of the reasons I wanted you to come and stay with me for a while. So that you may learn the old family trade." With that she turned back around and started on her tea once again. Not even seeming to feel my eyes that stared at her most intently.
"But…Grandmother…that was centuries ago! I don't need to learn that kind of stuff!-" I stopped there as I felt my grandmothers aura grow a little darker, and it was then I knew my mistake.
Grandmother always thought the way of the priestess should be preserved….and not only that, but families that had done it in the past should keep the tradition going until the end of time! At least….that's what grandmother thought.
Ooohhhh boy, I shouldn't have said that! Now she's going to be so angry!
"Sa-ku-ra?" My mind froze, and my body stiffened….oh no, not the sweet voice!
The whole room seemed to darken for a moment, and it felt hard to breath. My grandmother's temper was known far and wide…and it was something that all Haruno women shared; never make a Haruno woman mad!
Gulping up some air, I forced myself to speak.
"Y-yes?" my little cracked voice came out, in a rather pathetic squeak, as I waited for my grandmother's response. Which was probable going to include screaming, yelling, and any other forum or verbal violence she could strike me down with.
Grandmother on the other hand, was slowly turning to face me. Her old and wrinkled face was fixed in an ugly facial expression that could only mean one thing. I was dead…I was going to die! Her mouth started to open…and before I knew…fireworks exploded.
"GO SWEEP UP THE SHRINE RIGHT NOW! MAKE IT SPOTLESS!"
My grandmothers long-drawled out suspenseful outburst, made me jump and almost fall over myself! But I knew better! I knew that I had better leave her alone, and go do her bidding before she totally killed me! So without another thought, I ran to the sliding doors, and ran out the room towards the front entrance as if the devil was at my heels!
When I was outside, I left a heavy sigh me; this was going to be the longest summer of my life!
Let me just say, I"m sorry this was so short!
But like I stated at the beginning of the page, this is TEST-DRIVE to see if people like this idea or not!
If people like it, than I will make longer and better chapters. ^-^
But I do hope it didn't totally suck! Thanks for reading, and PLEASE REVIEW TO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!
