Chapter 1: Changes we make.
A sad sigh escaped pink lips. She could see the air in front of her, due to the fact winter was creeping upon them. She wrapped her arms around her self. Even with her navy blue trench coat, she still was very cold. Retasu looked at the still river. Today was the day that she would leave behind her memories and dreams, but you had to let things go…right?
She kneeled down and stirred her hand into the freezing water. It made a shiver run up her back. It was so cold…so lonely. "Don't worry though, I'll try my best to sneak out and visit." She smiled. "Promise." She said. Megumi had called for her explaining that the carriage was here and they were preparing to leave. Retasu told him she was coming in a few minutes. "Well…best be off." She sighed, when she was beginning to get up, a cherry blossom floated to the edge of the bank.
She kneeled down and scooped up the cherry blossom. It looked like a piece of art. The droplets of water decorated it perfectly. Retasu felt bad for ruining the image. She gently kissed the pink petal, and then placed it back into the clear liquid and it floated slowly away. "I promise." She giggled sticking up her pinkie. "Retasu! We must leave." Her father called. "I'm coming." She said getting up and running to the carriage that was sent from the village, leaving everything behind.
The ride was rather boring…the only thing from keeping Retasu from going insane was the book she was constantly reading. It was a red book, a story of a fairy tale and Fantasy. Retasu loved reading those kinds of stories because they allowed her mind to escape from reality. Her attention was drawn from the book by the awkward question her brother asked. "Mother, will we be going to school in the Village?" He asked curiously.
"I see why not." Their mother smiled. Retasu and Megumi were home schooled ever since they learned how to talk, they were very intelligent for there age and always was one step ahead. Though Retasu would daydream and kind of look ditzy, but they weren't just taught book smarts, they also learned of life lessons. "I'll make friends?" Megumi asked happily. "Of course honey." His mother stated. 'Kids are cruel. What friends would you make?' Inner Retasu thought. She averted her gaze back to the book flipping a page.

In the Village:
The carriage finally stopped in front of a rather big house. How much does the job pay?
Retasu stepped into the hallow house. Her footsteps echoed through out the home. The house was much bigger then the cottage and definitely nicer…but it just felt so weird. Retasu felt has if only bad memories would come from this house. She sighed as she walked up the stairs to her 'bedroom'. 'Did someone die in here?' Inner Retasu thought. Retasu was hugging herself while walking down the hall. She opened the door, which led to a room that was rather big also to her likings. It was empty, only containing a bed, dresser, and table.
The only nice thing about it was the large window. It almost covered the wall, giving a magnificent view of the Kingdom and some mountains top. "It's so beautiful, and breathe taking." She said walking in front of the window. "The kingdom…looks just like a painting of some sort." Retasu said to herself. She looked around the empty room. "This place is so dull." Retasu mentioned before pulling out her folded clothes and placing them in the dresser.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retasu didn't know what possessed her to go out and take a little stroll through the village, but she just wanted to feel the cool November air. Every now and then she would turn and notice many dark alleyways, perfect for thieves and perverts to hide out. Retasu was lost in thought through out her whole walk, which made her look very ditzy. Her index finger rested on her lip, while she pondered.
She then noticed a very young attractive man walking by her, distracting her further. What was more distracting was the way he gave her a charming smile. Retasu blushed not seeing the incoming force that made her fall hard onto the ground. Retasu opened her eyes to see a girl one year younger then her. She was rubbing her red hair, which were in pig tails. A brown cloak covered her pink dress.
"I'm so sorry." Retasu said getting up. The girl looked up at her in suspicion. "That's very well." The girl said getting up. "I haven't seen the likings of you around the village." She pointed out, as she dusted herself. "I just moved into the small village this morning." Retasu said. "Oh, well welcome to the village. I'm Ichigo" She smiled. Retasu smiled back. "I am Retasu." "Your hair is an exquisite color." Ichigo said. "Oh…most people make fun of my hair." Retasu stated.
"Oh, no I didn't mean it like that…I just meant I liked it that's all." Ichigo panicked as she waved her hands in front of her. "Thank you." Retasu said. "Let us walk." Ichigo cheered as she grabbed Retasu's hand and began they're stroll.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You use to live in a cottage. Many would think of as a peasant." Ichigo said to the green haired girl. "I'd suppose, but the meadow was a very peaceful place. It was so relaxing." Retasu smiled. "I've always wanted to go there with Aoyama-kun, but he doesn't know I like him." Ichigo said sadly. "Aoyama?" Retasu asked confused "Oh, Aoyama-kun is this very cute boy who uses to live in the village…now he works in the kingdom as a gardener. He is so understanding and sweet." Ichigo blushed. "Ichigo-chan must really like him." Retasu giggled. "Well I wouldn't say that, but I am a little charmed by him is all." She blushed cupping her face.
Then her blush disappeared and her love sick face turned into anger. "Yet Ryou-bastard is always hard on him." Ichigo said angrily. Retasu jumped at Ichigo's sudden use of foul language. "Who is this Ryou?" Retasu asked. "Just the rudest and snobbiest pretty boy I've ever met!" Ichigo said, fire burning deep within her brown eyes. "Is that so?" Retasu smiled nervously. "WOW! Such a pretty necklace you have there." Ichigo beamed at the white diamond. "Oh yes my father gave it to me at my birth." Retasu smiled. "It's very gorgeous." Ichigo grinned. Retasu couldn't help but smile back. They came to a stop when Ichigo saw the building in front of them. "The haunted oracle." Ichigo said shakily.
"That is my house." Retasu sweat dropped. Ichigo's eyes went big and white. "You live in the oracle!" Ichigo yelled. "The oracle? No… I moved here." Retasu defended herself.
"No one ever spoke of it to you." Ichigo eyed her. "I don't have friends." Retasu stated bluntly. "Then has your friend, I shall help you." Ichigo winked. Retasu was taken back. She never really had a friend; she thought she was the type to be a loner. "This was a house to be given to the fine lines of male soldiers, but one of the generations became female and the man felt very uneasy granting her the house. Even though she did become a general and lead a victorious war. The man still had no recognition of giving her the home of many noble men." Ichigo said staring at the house.
"She fought in a war almost losing her right arm saving a private. So finally she was given the home and respect to live in the house. Though many thought. Later that month she was murdered in her very room…till this day she stands in front of her huge window." Ichigo said. Retasu was a little nervous. She had a big window…oh my! "Some say she tries to kill anyone who tries to live in her home." Ichigo's voice whispered through the branches.
"She grabs your throat…" Ichigo began. Retasu felt a skeleton like hand on her shoulder. Her eyes were shut tight from the sudden touch. "And she takes one of her daggers and shoves it into your heart." Ichigo yelled. Retasu screamed. Some one had grabbed her throat and she was scared like a little puppy. "Calm down Retasu." Ichigo laughed. A branch with four skinny twigs was in her hand. "I was just joking… your house isn't haunted." Ichigo patted her on the back.
Retasu let out a sigh of relief. "Though, the story of the women dying in your house was real." Ichigo said seriously. "WHAT!" Retasu jumped. "Retasu you're so fun to tease." Ichigo laughed. Retasu had a few drops of water running down her face. "I have to go see you around Retasu." Ichigo waved.
Out of all the people in the village she became friends with the village clown.
