Chapter 4
Sakura Pov
"Hello.." She spoke, her voice ringing in the air
"Hi" I brought my hand up, my fingers sticking up in a motion-less wave as I now stood next to her on the bridge
We stared at each other, almost analyzing one another for what felt like ten minutes. Her two buns on her head made her look rather adorable, but I couldn't keep my eyes off the birthmark that we shared. It was just so.. weird that we both had one.
"Your not a Nymph. Are you?" I asked looking at her ears, almost scared she was going to say yes.
"Nope. And your surely not a Kewolen." She spoke as I felt relieved.
"No." I replied taking in a breath.
"I'm Sakura.. Pleasure to meet you" I held out my hand
"Tenten" She spoke as she shook it once.
"If your not a Nymph, what are you?" I asked almost rolling my eyes at the dumb question
"I'm pretty sure I'm a human. Not too sure though. How about you?" She asked back
"Same here." I nodded once in agreement
"What happend back there?" She suddenly asked, probably referring to the Karin incident.
"You mean the yelling? I just had a small fight with a girl" I almost let out a laugh at the thought. I was so screwed.
"Oh" She replied
"How is it living with the Nymphs?"
"It's awesome.. Their all really nice and they try to include me" She smiled as if she was lost in a memory
"..Lucky" I let out a sigh as I leaned on the bridge railing facing the rushing water
"How is it living over there?"
"It's like a living hell" I kicked the bridge railing that sat lower down
"Everyone makes fun of me and the only friends I have are the dust bunnies under my bed" I let out a small laugh thinking of Tsunade
"That sucks" She patted my back twice
"Haha thanks, but I've gone sixteen years with it, so it's not too bad anymore" I began picking off the paint from the bridge. How old was this thing?
"By the way, when I saw you this morning, there was no bridge here. Got any idea what happend?" I asked looking at her facial features again. She looked so much like I did, besides our face structure and hair style and color
"I heard my family.. adoptive family talk about a bridge that only comes out at night time and I'm assuming this is it" She also began picking off the red paint
"Oh, that's pretty cool that we found it" We nodded in sync, as we both gave out a laugh
"This is sort of... out there, but why do have the same birthmark as me?" I looked back at her as she opened her mouth
"I was about to ask you the same question" We paused for a second
"Yeah I have no idea" We spoke in sync, laughing again.
"So, where do you think we came from, then?" Tenten asked as I leaned back on my arms, looking at our rippled reflections in the running water
"I'm not sure.. Maybe like a parallel universe, sort of thing" I replied as there was a rustling in the trees again.
We both looked up at where it came from, but seeing no one once again. What the heck was going on?
"I was thinking something like that also. It's just plain weird that we're different than everyone else.." She spoke as I nodded in agreement
"It's getting on my nerves. I'm as pale as Nymphs, no offense intended, when I'm next to them Kewolens." I shook my head.
"Do you live in the village or the castle?"
"I live in the castle, I haven't been down to the village before" I paused. I knew exactly what I was going to do tomorrow.
"That must be awesome" she complimented
"Thank you, but not really. The girls are really mean and enjoy being in cliques." I rolled my eyes thinking of Karin
"How about you?" I asked looking at her
"I live in the village" She looked down at the water
"How is that?"
"It's quiet, although I think it would be wonderful to live in the castle with the Princess.. and the Prince.." her voice trailed off as her face turned red
"Ooo does someone have a crush on the Nymph Prince?" I teased her giving her a wink
"N-no!" She stuttered, giving herself away
"Got cha! You so do" I stuck my tongue at her with a smile
"Shush! You can't tell anyone!" She eyed me carefully
"Haha don't worry. I won't tell a soul" I replied with a small laugh
"Now you have to tell me someone you like" She gave her own evil little smile as my face went a bit pink
"There's this guy on my watch-team, and he's.. really cute" I could feel my face get hotter with each passing second
"Aw, that's cute" she giggled
"Yeah.. but he has no emotions, just a straight face all the time." I sighed
"Well you know how boys are. Acting all tough and what not"
"Yeah, though he's nice. He's the only Kewolen my age who talks to me" I smiled at the thought. It somehow made me feel a lot better.
She suddenly stuck out her pinkie. I stuck mine out as they hooked each other, breaking apart the next second.
"No telling anyone" we spoke in sync with a right eye wink.
"Do you want to meet again tomorrow, same spot?" I asked looking down at the bridge as she nodded eagerly
"Sakura." a soft feminine voice spoke behind me as I froze on the spot
"Princess.." I turned around giving a small curtsy with my short shorts
I was dead meat.
