Chapter one: The first two chosen
It was early in the morning when two girls left their house to go into the town nearby. The older one had long light brown hair that reached close to her knees that was tied in a loose braid. She was around 5 ½ feet tall, her skin was a light tan and she had the most mesmerizing purple eyes. She was wearing a knee long silver dress with a black apron around the waist.
"Hurry up Saku, we're gonna end up seeing those two idiots if you don't get over here now" she scolded her younger sister who was helping a duckling get back to its mother.
"I'm coming, Shikaria" said the girl. She had short pink locks of hair. Her ivory skin was covered by a mid-calf purple dress that had a silver apron at the waist. She also had the most beautiful emerald eyes and she was around 5 feet tall.
"You want to see if there's a new medical book at the books shop don't you?" Shikaria said to Sakura as they hurried along to their favorite book store in town. As they walked, the town started to wake and busy themselves with their everyday routine. When they got to the book store, the owner and their only friend in town was shocked to see them there again.
"Girls, don't tell me you finished the books already?" asked the shopkeeper. He had brown hair tied into a high ponytail and had a scar across his nose.
"We're sorry Iruka-san, but we just couldn't put them down" explained Sakura as they each returned their books. Sakura returned a huge medical book while Shikaria returned a rather large story book.
"Did Sakura's new medical book arrive?" asked Shikaria as she looked for a new book to read in the fiction/paranormal section of the shop.
"As a matter of fact, it just got here last night" Iruka chuckled as he goes to the back of the store to get the giant medical book, "Here…you go…Saku" he struggled with it before Sakura grabbed it.
"Thanks Iruka-san. How much is it gonna cost?" she asked admiring the book *cough*encyclopedia*cough*.
"Free, Sakura. You guys are the only ones that look for these books, so no charge to either of you" he replied with a grin.
"Are you sure, Iruka-san? These kinds of books are rare, so we want to pay for it" Shikaria responded while holding her book as well.
"I insist, no charge. Just promise great care of both those books." Iruka said.
"If you're sure, then we'll be on our way" they parted ways with Iruka and went to get groceries. As they traveled about town, the two men they were trying to avoid saw them.
"Shino, there they are" said a rather pale man, with black eyes and hair, to and equally pale man, that had brown hair and sunglasses.
"Well looks like they're being their nerdy selves again. Why don't we go and distract them, Sai" Shino replied. Sai smirked and they headed towards the girls, having problems because the village started to get busy. As the girls neared the edge of town, their books were snatched out of their hands.
"Well, hello there girls" said Sai as he throws Sakura's book to the floor, into a mud puddle.
"Why do you girls read these pieces of garbage? You should be paying attention to us" Shino said as he made a move on Shikaria. Sai also attempted to make a move on Sakura until she gripped his hand in such a tight grip, his hand could have broken at that point.
"You just tossed a very expensive book into the mud. And now you want to flirt with us?! I don't think so" Sakura growled out. She tossed Sai aside and went to get her book, while Shikaria moved away from Shino and the two started to walk away while glaring at the two boys. As the girls neared their home, they noticed the house was a wreak, like someone tried to force their way in and ransacked the place.
"Dad? Are you there?" Sakura asked as they neared the house entrance. On the door there was a note.
"What's this?" Shikaria asked as she read the note, "Dear girls, this is a warning. To retrieve your father, you must come to the haunted castle. Otherwise, he will be killed as sacrifice for demons of hell." The note was not signed.
Shikaria and Sakura worried for the man that saved their lives, they gather their things and took off for the haunted castle.
