Chapter 2: Moonlit Rose

I was silently walking around Lost City, watching the untamed children running around, chasing a venomancer's wolfling. I always enjoyed watching my people, especially when the guys get into fights. You see, venomancers have this charm that makes them irresistible to anyone, and barbarians are always fighting over one. My name is Galaxina, and I'm a werecat, like my sister like best friend, Sakura, the to be elder who turned down the offer. Well, I was pretty jealous when she found her love, Pein the archer. Sakura and I have always had this dream since we were little that we'd both find our true loves and have children at the same time, and have the same amount of kids. That way our children can grow up together and be as close together as Sakura and I I still haven't found my true love.

"Don't worry! I'll find a nice strong man for you that will make every girl in the world jealous of you!' Sakura exclaimed, wrapping her arms around Galaxina.

"Hey! No going lesbian on us now girls! We don't need any more people in our closet at night!" Silver laughed. Sakura murmured "shut up" and pushed Silver away.

"Wait! I think I know someone to hook up with Galaxina." Pein said smiling.

"Who?" Galaxina asked, her light cheeks turning a bright pink.

"A close friend of mine, he's had a crush on you for a while Galaxina."

"Really?"

"Yep, don't tell him I told you all, but he always talks about you. Yesterday he was watching you and telling me how beautiful you were and how he wished he could be with you." Pein was now laughing at the thought of his strong friend becoming weak of a girl.

"What's his name?"

"Gaara, a blademaster."

"Really? See Galaxina! I told you we'd find someone big and strong for you!" Sakura smiled, and looked at Pein. "When can they meet?"

"Now if they want to." Was the answer., then he added, "He's in Broken Bridge Village doing a quest and he said he'd drop by for a quick visit."

I wasn't sure what to say. I was just shocked that this could be her chance to find her first love. People keep telling me that the first love won't last, but Pein is Sakura's first love and they're doing great! They both still blush when they see each other. I want something like that! I want to feel the heat on my face, the warmth of a man holding me, the excitement when we kiss....

But I was dragged back down to earth when Sakura repeatedly started to poke me, and then spoke to me, "Galaxina! Are you just gonna zone out, or are you gonna say hello to Gaara-sama?"

"Wah?" I looked up and a red haired blademaster with facenating armor and he had such dark red hair. He was...well he was HOT!! I finally got to feel the heat in my cheeks. But not only in my cheeks. It felt like it started at my feet and worked it's way up to my face. And when he spoke to me and when we shook hands, a shiver went up and down my spine.

"Hello, Miss Galaxina." His voice was deep, almost as deep as the others, but it was gentle.

"Hello..uum, Gaara." Gaara laughed and I knew he noticed my blushing cheeks.

Four Days Later

"Good evening Galaxina, ready to go?" Gaara asked, holding out his hand.

"Yes, I am. You don't think this dress makes me look to over dressed, right?" I asked nervously. I am NEVER letting Jubilee and Jean dress me EVER AGAIN!! I let them dress me and they give me a white low cut dress that is has a slit on my left side, and Sakura put gems into it so it glows a bright blue to match my hair. Well anyways, tonight Gaara is taking me to his home, Etherblade. I finally get to see the world. We aren't teleporting because part of the date is to fly in the sunset on his flying sword. I'm so excited! I guess Sakura and I do get to have children together. Now if only we knew where to settle...

The End
