I do not own Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft or Irene Adler. Just basing my story from the characters on the TV show 'Sherlock' on BBC, which I obviously don't own either. Hope you enjoy this story! :D

''She stole my heart and he stole mine''

He was very wise at his age, he was tall, had curly dark hair, icy blue eyes and a high and perfectly shaped cheekbones. He went into the forest to do his weekly research, he had his magnifying glass on one hand, and a small jar on the other, and both were labeled with his name. Carefully he picked up a bug and checked it with his magnifying glass.

'' Watcha doin?'' A little girl's voice startled him, which made him drop the bug.

'' Look what you have done!'' the little boy replied angrily.

'' I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you nor hurt your bug''

'' Bug? Hello? This ain't no bug! This is-'' When he turned around, he saw a little girl leaning beside a tree, wearing a blue summer dress with a matching headband. She had green-blue eyes, and a dark curly hair.

'' A Lady Bug?'' the little girl raised her eyebrow.

'' N-no, it's not just a Lady Bug! It's a coccinella trifasciata, it's not so common to find these kinds of bugs around here, although they can be found in various places around the world, they are less common than the other species.'' The little boy explained while he carefully placed the bug inside the jar.

'' Impressive!'' She jumped and ran towards the little boy. '' So...you are a bug collector or something?''

'' Something like that, I collect them for research. What are you doing here anyway?''

'' I was just rooming around, then I saw this magical place. '' She gave a smile

'' This is called a forest, and nothing is magical about it. Clearly you are a city girl'' the little boy folded his arms, and frowned.

'' Yes, infact I am.'' She walked towards him and took his jar.

'' Hey!''

''Just going to check it!''

'' Be careful''

The little girl rolled her eyes, then focused on the lady bug. '' Ahhhh Lady Bugs the insects in the Coccinellidae family of the beetle order, Coleoptera. Hmm... this lady bug, or should I say coccinella trifasciata just gave birth a couple of weeks ago... her Elytra doesn't look so good, but I assure you that it wasn't because you dropped her awhile ago. So do you usually collect lady bugs?'' The she asked sweetly.

'' No... Wait why are you asking me these things? And by the way I knew all of those things , I didn't need any lecture'' The little boy replied. He was actually impressed on how the little girl identified the bug just by looking at it. All he knew was that, he was the only kid on his age that could do such things, and he was definitely not expecting for a female person to be that smart.

'' I didn't say anything about lecture. That was just something to impress you, and obviously you were impressed.'' The little girl grinned, which made the him feel uncomfortable.

He spent all day looking for more bugs, while she tried create a conversation with him by helping him find more bugs. But everytime she comes up with a subject, he just shushed her, so she came up with a plan. She sneaked from the back and covered his eyes.

'' W-what are you doing?''

'' Ok, try to guess what I am! I-''

'' A human being!''

She gave a small laugh ''I know what I am silly!, I wasn't finished talking... okay I'm going to describe an insect and try to guess what it is. Okay I can fly, I am very colorful, I am famous worldwide, and featured in most coffee table book on the Lepidoptera and-''

'' Easy, you are a Chrysiridia rhipheus, also known as The Madagascan sunset moth or simply sunset moth, it is a day-flying moth of the Uraniidae family'' The little boy took off the hands that was covering his eyes, and turned to face the little girl. '' It is famous worldwide, and it is also considered to be one- one of t-the m-ost impressive and b-beautiful Lepidopetra...'' The little boy stared at her looking at her beautiful smile, she looked so impressed, not only to him but also to herself. It seemed like she knew that this was exactly the reaction she was going to get from him.

'' Once again impressive.'' She was alarmed by the moment she heard some noise coming towards them. '' Someones coming!''

'' Don't worry it's probably my brother with lesser IQ''

'' I have to go...''

'' Wa-wait why? I know you don't want to meet him, I mean even I don't want to talk to him, and I am his brother.'' he smirked

'' It's not that, were leaving in 10 minutes.'' She leaned, and gave the little boy a kiss on his cheeks. '' By the way I like your cheekbones... Sherlock Holmes''. Then she began to walk away.

The little boy froze for a while, shocked from the kiss. '' W-wait what Is your name?'' He shouted as soon as he recovered.

'' Irene...Irene Adler'' She shouted back while running away

'' Irene what!''

''Se youuu aroounddd...'' Then she disappeared

''Irene...'' Sherlock murmured

'' Brother! Dinner is ready, and please leave those disgusting little things here. We don't want those on the dinner table.'' A young man stood infront of Sherlock. He was standing straight, chin up, his hair was perfectly combed, and he had an icy look.

'' Yes, yes Mycroft. Don't worry you won't die if you accidentally ate one of these.'' Sherlock rolled his eyes.

'' And how would you know!'' Mycroft crossed his arms and stomped his feet.

'' I already tested it, by putting some insects on your food.''

'' Wh-wait, what!. Your going to pay for this Sherlock!.'' Mycroft replied angrily and walked away.

Sherlock gave a small laugh, then he looked at the direction where the mysterious little girl ran. '' Irene...'' he murmured. He was a little bit disappointed since he didn't get her last name. But all he needed was a mental picture of her and her name. He realized a lot of things from that day, a lot about emotions, he realized that the feeling he had in his stomach was disturbing, and the way he felt for her. So he promised himself not to fall in love to anyone, not to care about anyone but himself. But from that day on Sherlock's heart belonged to one little girl, called Irene Adler.


But his theory about relationships began to change when he met The Woman. And in such coincidence her first name was Irene. Irene Adler.

Hope you enjoyed reading my story, this is my second Sherlock-Irene story. So I hope you liked it :D thanks for reading.
