Hello! Minna-san, I hope you have a good day, evening or night.
This time I have an English version of my story The Legend of the Deep Forest, which is originally written in Spanish. And as it says in the summary was made to participate in an initiative of a forum I belong to.
I should also say that the story is based on the song Fukai Mori BoA, which is one of the Inuyasha anime Endings.
I have nothing more to say, that The Prince of Tennis is not my property, it belongs to the great Takeshi Konomi.
Around the world, over time there have been many legends, which have never been shown to be true or it actually could have happened at any place and time, as many times of an ancient legend derive other , much most recent .
But there is a legend that is little known, it is said that this legend is known only to those who are chosen to prove it is true. It was never known how they learn about it , just heard they know that somewhere, do not know who said it or what time the heard , only knows who know and know it's real when they see for themselves that Deep Forest legend is true.
It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the birds were singing. It was a good day for a party, more specifically, an engagement party. All invited and involved in the making of this, they were very happy and excited by this event, everyone was happy, except the girl who was going to commit. She was not happy, because she would not marry, at least not one I did not love. Many less with the man who had committed, was arrogant, egotistical, thought better than everyone and never in his life had been troubled by a person other than himself. Keigo Atobe a nineteen years old, black hair and gray eyes. Because of the way they grew up had always been very arrogant and did call himself "King", but that had nothing much money you have.
This is why she was not happy about having to spend the rest of your life with a person.
This girl was Sakuno Ryuzaki, a young lady of seventeen, auburn hair and pretty reddish eyes that could be compared with some precious rubies. A young kind and gentle nature, is easily embarrassed shyness because he possessed was not very sociable because of this. Not to mention that was clumsy and not very well gave sports. She was always concerned for the welfare of others before her own. For this and the beauty she possessed, had brought him to the attention of one of the most sought after bachelors in the world. And she had not even notice, until now.
Young people came from, two of the most powerful families in the world. She of the Ryuzaki family that residing in Japan, and he, of the Atobe family, who resided in England.
These families belonged to the circle of people who virtually controlled the world. This group was made up of five families: Yukimura family of France Shiraishi family of Spain, the Tezuka family of Norway and the Echizen family in Australia.
The reason for this union was just on a whim that he had the young heir Atobe family, who had been fascinated with the beauty and innocence that showed the youngest Ryuzaki. Their families took this opportunity to join a bond stronger than friendship.
Sakuno was not happy, she wanted that day, the day of their engagement, to be special with the person she had chosen to spend their lives together, the man she loved. Although he had not yet found the person who stole his heart, he wanted to wait and find her, but her mother did not have the same intent as her. She had in mind something quite different to that Sakuno wanted plans for your life.
Ryuzaki Sumire elderly woman with strong character, yet friendly. It was one of the people who were against the union between her granddaughter and the young Atobe. She did not believe that the child arrogant and rude, as he said she was happy to do her granddaughter. Since it was realized that this young man only cared about himself and no one else, had never seen him show interest in someone else but him. At least until she noticed her granddaughter, although leagues you could tell it was just a whim, not because he was actually in love with her. Did not even know, had seen only twice and they had never spoken, so how could it be possible that the boy in love with his granddaughter. To Atobe, Sakuno granddaughter was just a trophy in his long list.
She was desperate ... She was a few minutes to commit to a man she did not know, much less loved. A man who could not stand, well, did not think there was someone who could take it , and how to handle it when it seemed that all I could say was " Ore-sama " How could spend the rest of her life with him? Do not think I could live in peace in this way. I had to think of a way which could delay that commitment, but how? He wondered internally. But after several minutes and countless attempts, could not think of anything.
He was so desperate to think of a solution to their problem , they did not realize that one of the servant girls had come to tell him that it was time to go down to the place of the party, which was being done in the garden Ryuzaki mansion . I knew once down and out by the front door, there was no turning back. Once he was outside lose their freedom.
When fully under the stairs, in pure reflex turned to look up at the windows of the mansion, as if that would give you the answer I was looking for. And as if it happened a miracle could make out a small forest that was near the place where it was unusual at a time like this would have been, always believed that the forest was somewhat remote, but now he looked so close, as if beckoning. Then a thought crossed his mind, if he was hiding in the forest would not find, so save the commitment to the odious Atobe, at least for now.
Soundlessly slipped away from the presence of his companion and went to one of the outputs made by large glass windows , arriving slowly and quietly opened one of them and ran towards the forest , far away could hear how he shouted " Sakuno - SAMA " in no time turned his eyes to see if the chase . In a few minutes in among the dense forest and his head had a thought.
"Why did it happen to me? Is it that I have not the right to choose who I will marry?
I want to marry the man I love, but still cannot find it. So far I've never had the opportunity to fall in love. I wish I could find the love of my life and marry him because I want to, not because they are forcing me"
Sakuno was so lost in thought that he did not notice when the forest began to give off a soft golden glow combined with an intense red color, although it was only for a moment what hard glare, was durable enough to make a drastic change in the events of his life.
She ran as fast as she could, she knew that at this point they'd be looking for her everywhere, even that might be following. She had to hurry and find a good place to hide, or they would take her back to the mansion and this time no chance to escape.
She did not care that he was littering the long dress she had, did not care that his hairstyle was crumbling, all she wanted at that time was to get away from all your problems.
So distracted was not realized that almost was on the other side of the forest , but still lacking a bit , she was not so far from the exit.
By sheer inertia turned to look back, he saw that there was nothing behind it, now she was sure no one was following her.
Sigh of relief, no one had followed, was calmer now.
But such was his happiness at that moment that he realized that she is against a person who was walking around the place without realizing their presence.
Both were so engrossed in his thoughts that were not aware of each other.
At least not until they felt strong after shock of both bodies.
At that moment I realized the compromising position in which they stood, the only thing that mattered was to see who had bumped against had always been clumsy, so I was not surprised that something like this would happen, but I wanted to know who was to apologize properly.
The blow to the head had left her momentarily stunned, so I only managed to lift his head slightly as he felt that he was on something soft, but doing so will never have.
Before her golden eyes were staring at her with curiosity, yet with discomfort. At that moment he realized that he had hit a woman when she turned to look back.
His face turned completely red at the time, so I could make a tomato competition. She was totally embarrassed, had hit a very handsome boy indeed - without realizing it, and this did not seem very happy, surely he thought she was very clumsy as not - for not realizing where he was going .
And to enlarge their shameful situation, he realized the position they were and redder than it already was, if that were possible. At that moment he felt a headache and the last thing he saw was like those mesmerizing amber eyes looked at her with concern.
After everything had gone black.
The poor Sakuno had fainted to not endure the embarrassment level was going on at the time, not realizing it had been over a young man who was totally confused by what had just happened.
Elsewhere, more specifically in: The Beach House Family Echizen in Gordon's Bay, Sydney, Australia.
Sitting in a chair near the pool there was a very handsome young black hair with some green hues, and cold piercing amber eyes, with seventeen years of age and pride that reached to the sky, not to mention that it was the youngest son of one of the world's most powerful families.
Ryoma Echizen, second son of the marriage between Nanjiroh Echizen and Rinko Takeuchi, heir to the fortune of his family, because his older brother Ryoga Echizen was a man totally unconcerned about their responsibilities, liked to travel regularly thereby enjoying his freedom as long ago had made it clear he did not want to get involved in the family business, which his parents finally had to accept, making the entire responsibility fell on his younger son Ryoma. That had to reluctantly accept that responsibility, and that he also liked that sort of thing, not to mention that since childhood he had to study everything related to the management of the companies as he had his family. Whereupon over the years ended up getting used to, but did not like at all, and was not displeased as before.
The reason is the house were family beach and not in the mansion where they lived was because the smallest member of the family Echizen was cranky and when I was in that state was unbearable. His bad mood was that because they received the invitation to attend the commitment of Sumire Ryuzaki's granddaughter, a great friend of the father of Ryoma - topic was brought up in that Ryoma would have to marry soon, which greatly dislike this last
Not that I wanted to, I knew that at some point in their lives have to do it, but just do not want to do any of the interested living hovering over him, just for the money he possessed. He could be very cold, sharp, and often clueless innocent, but he was not stupid. I knew the only reason women were offered without any shame was because his family meant to belong.
A senior in the business world, not to mention the money that was involved.
Incredibly, since they knew the character had, Ryoma Echizen wanted, or rather wished that if he was going to marry, at least do it for love.
Sound very strange, but if Ryoma "Ice Prince" Echizen wanted to marry the woman he was in love. Although this woman still had not appeared.
If he wanted his wish came true had to be quick and find her before her parents choose one of their "best" candidates to be.
For that reason his family had missed the engagement party of a girl who did not know, had only heard about it, but nothing more. Instead of going for big congratulations on event, preferred to go to the beach and try to improve your mood.
Which had worked, at least for now.
He came out of his thoughts when in front of him he could see a small forest which was very close to where he stood. Never before had paid attention, knew it was there, but never had to observe carefully.
Seeing him stare could feel radiating a sense of infinite peace that attracted him much. He rose from his seat and began to walk forward.
Would take a walk through the woods, I felt that it might calm him and make him forget all your problems.
Before fully penetrate into the woods, his mind was full of thoughts, that by "chance" or maybe not, were very similar to those certain brunette was having at the time.
Before disappearing completely within the forest, on his head was about one last thought.
"Why does everyone want to get into my life? Did not understand that they want to marry out of obligation. Much less with a woman who is only interested in what I represent. Money.
I would fall in love with a woman totally different from all those around me. Who loves me for who I am and not for what I have"
Once inside the forest is allowed to observe carefully. There was nothing special, but the feeling of peace and tranquility radiating liked very much.
Long time did not feel that way, always the moody passing because of his father and brother , because every time I bothered by anything, however insignificant it out .
So engrossed was in his thoughts that he did not realize the person who was running against him. And it was not until she felt as conflicted with something, or rather someone.
When he realized he was lying on the ground, with one person on top of him, more precisely a young woman of about the same age.
I could not see his face because his head and look down. At that time he was a little confused at the same time annoying. Confused because I knew that at exactly this girl in a place like that, much less as I walk, as the forest was within the Echizen family property and no more than they could enter. And upset because the reason was found at that time on the floor with the girl on top was because she came running and had not realized he was there
