Prologue

My hands moved upwards almost poetically and then slowly descended as I moved my body in what seemed to be a circle. I was twirling and I didn't care if someone saw me. I was dancing to the rhythm in my heart. That was all I could hear. Its beats.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

A small child about 7 jumped around, excited that she was going to finally see a play. She knew the pains her parents had gone through to save up for this and she was going to savor every moment, just for them.

Her name was Sakura and she was beautiful, even at that young age. Her emerald eyes emitted their own innocent light that fitted her perfectly. She was innocent but a determined and stubborn child. And the fact that she was a little small for her age

(After all she had to be tall enough to stomp her foot on her annoying brother completely, she thought).

never made her feel so discouraged because of her wish.

Her brother called for her and she immediately showed up.

'Fast little brat', her bother thought.

"What Touya, we have to go!" she said so excitedly it broke his heart.

"I can't go" he said, his eyes avoided that of his sister's. He couldn't bare to see her sad.

A pause came about and he could feel her sudden shock

"Why?" came out her sweet voice laced (I looove that word!) with confusion and despair. They had to see it too! She began to sniffle and Touya mentally berated himself.

"I have to work over time along with mom and dad, we need the money, but you can still go. We know you want to"

"No! I can't, it'd be mean of me" She said this with reluctance but true meaning and concern behind it.

"It would be mean if you didn't go. After all, those performances are costly. It is uncommon for someone in our status to be able to receive money for it and we already paid. So go." Touya said this painfully. It was true after all. They were commoners. It was that simple.

They could not learn to do the arts. It cost too much. To get a tutor could cost an arm and a leg. She should at least see it. It could make her happy to know what it was after all, she loved beauty.

The small child sadly left her run-over house, if you could even call it that. She walked for about 10 minutes, her feet accustomed to the gravel of the grounded, and she weaved in and out of each intersection corner till she arrived at the Coliseum. It was large and daunting and to be there alone was even worse than with another but she would see the play and be happy. Little images popped up of her coming back and tell them everything so that it would be like they were there.

She entered and sat in one of the higher rows. The first few were for the royals. Soon the noise that emitted from the coliseum soothed down to little whispers of anticipation. She was glad she was here. She was even wearing her best clothes. She didn't worry that they weren't as beautiful as everyone else's. It was a small dress that was light pink and almost no signs of wearing down. It wasn't the best material but it was her best. Her light brown hair, which was only up to her shoulders, was put into a high pony tail ad she looked precious.

Soon the show stared and on stage appeared a pale girl with violet hair. She began to sing. Softly at first and then more powerful, telling her story. Her voice was sweet and made sakura slightly dizzy with how intoxicating it was. Soon the girl pointed to the left side of the stage as a young boy about 8 came out. He seemed the same age as the girl. He moved to her as if he was wasn't moving at all. He was flowing. He moved about poetically, doing various complicated dance moves until he reached the girl. As he arrived he opened his eyes and they were amber. As the complex story went on all sakura could notice was the dancing. It enchanted her, much more than the singing. They danced slowly, then fast, twirling on their toes. They would dip their partners and a state of pure bliss came about through sakura as the ball scene occurred. Then as the play was wrapping up she feel distraught. It couldn't be done. Not yet!

But alas it was and as sakura ran home, her feet hitting the rough granite and gravel ground she could only think of what she wanted. She wanted to dance. And so as soon as she entered her house she screamed it out,

"I want to dance forever and ever!'

But her family just laughed and told her to go and eat. They thought she would grow out of it but to prove herself she declared she would dance right there. A shocked silence came about. Touya barked out a command for her to stop then.

"We are not allowed to dance-" he said this in a somewhat sad tone "- because to do so we need to pay for lessons, so commoners cannot dance. They cost too much and they did this on purpose so that we would not. It is against the law so stop sakura. We can't get in trouble, mom's getting sick. We don't need to worry her."

He didn't scream he said it calmly and yet with a passion that for some reason broke sakura. Yet she was determined. She didn't say a thing. Her parents looked down and so she knew it was true. She wouldn't let them know then. She would dance and be one of the best. So right then sakura made that promise to herself.

So every second she was alone she would practice. And she would fall trying to imitate the plays' movements. She wasn't' coordinated and it broke her small heart but she tried as best as she could. Till one day she was caught.

Sakura was in a deserted street corner and she was trying to twirl. Small footsteps could be heard but small sakura was to busy, in her own sweet world in Which she could dance till she got tired. Never. She could see herself in a beautiful dress raising her hands upwards and her body on her toes, arching backward and then a partner would come and carry her upwards. She even attempted to do the first half slightly hopeful, reaching to far to fast,

and she fell in her attempt and a somewhat deep and somehow delighted voice behind her spoke,

"Stop"

Her heart stopped, ironically, and through her shock and fear. She knew that this was going to change everything. Her family would get in trouble thanks to her. She would have caused so much pain and not even achieved her goal. She began to tear up. But then she heard a chuckle. Stunned at this she slowly turned her head and saw someone about her age that had blue-ish hair. His clothes were what seemed to be made out of cotton and yet he had a royal air about him. His eyes glowed with mystery and with pure delight. 'Probably happy I'm gonna get in trouble', thought sakura bitterly. However his next words made her reconsider

"Dance to the beat of your heart, not to anything else. Just to your dreams and hopes. To the beat of you heart"

He said this part somewhat softly and offered sakura a hand. He helped her get up and then smiled and pulled her into a hug, despite the dirt that was caked onto sakura and spoke again,

"My name is Eriol and I'm glad I found you because I see it in you. Potential. Will you be my dance partner?"
