Cherry Blossoms

-Prologue-

The leaves blew freely in the wing, bring up the curtains in the darkened room, allowing the moonlight to peer in. The sound of soft movements could be heard inside. The first sound clearly heard was the sound of a zipper and then the creaking of a slowly opened door. The pattering of feet in the black hallway, peering green eyes into rooms of sleeping neighbors, then the creak of the stairs as a shadow lingered down. A door slid open and closed and a figure stood in the back of a shrine. Small shrines outlined the yard as cherry blossom petals flew past.

Making the way to one shrine, a door slid open. Looking down into the shrine was a well, outlined bu the moon's rays. It was covered by planks of wood that had been left untouched for eleven years. Seals marked the top of the planks and scriptive writings. A hand reached out to touch them but a shock caused it to stammer back. Fangs bared as a soft growl was heard in the darkened shrine.

A pink glow erupted on the hand and it grabbed the seals and ripped them off, throwing them to the side as they fell softly to the ground. The planks were soon removed and then a figure sat on the edge, looking in. Sniffs could be heard and then a sigh. The figure lifted a necklace with a sparkling pink jewel on it and stared down at it for a good time. After a few moments the necklace was dropped and the green eyes pierced down into the well before the figure slipped down into it. A immense glow erupted in the well, revealing the girl within it. She floated along, down a tube of stars and lights. Eyes wide with a gasp from a slightly open mouth she looked around in wonder.

Her feet soon landed on firm ground and she stumbled slightly as the glow disappeared. An was twitched as eyes looked up to a starry sky. Blinking in confusion, the sound of many trees could be heard blowing in the wind. The eyes wandered around and came upon a wooden ladder surrounded by vines weeds. Adjusting the bag over her shoulder, she soon began climbing up. A head poked out of the well and looked around. Her eyes crawled over a field surrounded by dense forest.

An ear twitched once more as eyes pierced the trees to the side. Green eyes glowed slightly as a warning growl rolled from her lips. A shadow could be seen running through the trees, stealthily, but not enough for her to not catch it. Crawling out from the well, she sat against it as she glared into the trees and grabbed the hilt of her katana. In one quick movement she was standing with a blade to her throat, but her own at her opponents. Gold pierced green as the low growls came from their chests.

"You are fast." The voice said as eyes narrowed, "Why did you come from that well?" The voice was a young man, that was obvious. Green eyes peered up on the head of the boy and two appendages poked from his hair. An eyebrow raised as the blade she had was lowered. The boy had soon moved his away as well.

"My name is Sakura Izayoi. I came here in search of someone..." her eyes had looked down at that time as the sound of sadness came to her voice. "Izayoi? Why does that sound familiar?" One of the appendages twitched on his head as he quickly looked to the side and sniffed. Green eyes followed and the sound of his growl rumbled through her ears.

"Hop on." She turned and blinked down. Making an odd face at the boy who was now bending down and looking up at her. "What?" she said completely confused. He had made a face, "Get on my back. We gotta get outta here, someone is watching us..." She looked back at the trees then nodded and climbed onto his back. He gripped under her knees and soon stood, breaking into a sprint and going into the dense forest, leaving the well behind.
