Prologue

You can't see it yet, but it's there. All you need is a little time and magic.

I closed my eyes.

Breathing in and out normally but at a slow pace. I listened to the wind gently rustling against the leaves on this afternoon day at the greenest park I have ever been at. I could hear voices coming from in front of me, children's voices. Their laughter and foots steps as they ran.

Slowly opening my eyes, a second of the sunlight that was showing and hiding as the leaves of the tree's branches swayed made me wince for a moment. I looked at my surroundings wondering which places were good for me.

I stood there, and then my eyes caught on something that awakened my interest. The object in my hands was something dear to me, almost apart of me, so fragile and it could do the most amazing thing.

Capture life.

I brought it up to my eye level, closing one eye and looking through the object with my other eye. Before I could do it's magic some strands of my long pink locks escaped behind my ear, which I tucked it in again before focusing once more, remaining still as I could. I breathe in and out slowly and then opened my closed eye.

Ka-chaa. Ka-chaa. Ka-chaa.

The feeling of excitement and satisfaction came over me like gush of wind. I brought my slick black professional camera a little bit down so I could see how the picture turned out.

Photography was the one thing I loved the most.

It was my one passion.

I love being behind the camera, I loved the sound it made and the magic that came from it.

I was addicted to it.

I checked the picture if it came out the way I wanted it to. And it did, of a mother pushing her child from behind on the swing, both laughing and enjoying. I smiled at the picture and saved it.

Looking up again, it was clearly a beautiful day and everyone at this park was savoring every minute of it.

I incautiously turned my head to expect the almost same view but instead I noticed a boy, sitting on a bench, not too far looking at my direction. It took me a few seconds then I realized he was looking at me. Before I could look away, not sure what to think of it, he got up from the bench and walked over to a young girl who was walking towards him, maybe around my age. And they left together.

I sighed in relief and went back to what I loved doing most.

I sat here on this brown faded bench, pretty much bored to the fact almost life less as I stared out getting impatient on waiting and waiting. I sighed to the fact that I could be doing something else today. And out of all places she wanted to meet at a park! I closed my eyes in frustration and ran my hand through my onyx colored hair thinking if I should just leave or stay awhile.

I rolled my eyes, totally thinking I was wasting my time. Then I just stared straight ahead at what was in front of me,

as I stared I noticed three major things.

One, too green

and two, too many people

and three, pink…?

I blinked again making sure I saw it right.

A person with pink hair?

I studied the person curious on the fact that a human being had pink hair. She looked to be in high school and was really into whatever she was doing. She her eyes were occupied by the children playing in the play ground. And in her hands was a camera. Suddenly she closed her eyes for a few minutes. I didn't know whether to laugh or be amazed. That girl must really love photography. She took a picture and almost right after that she turned turn face to me.

I stared at her emerald green eyes, thinking to myself 'pink hair, greens eyes' but in the corner of my eye I saw the girl I've been waiting forever for coming towards me. I got up and walked over to her.

"Sasuke-kun, sorry I was late. Should we get going?" She said in a apologetic tone and a little nervous to see my reaction.

I chuckled. "Ino it's ok, there still time before the movie starts." I snaked my hand into hers and we started walking out of the park.

She giggled, "I don't know why I chose to meet up at this park, it's not a good day anyway."

I laughed and looked up, "Yeah, you're right."
