A friendship is forged
I wish I never set foot on land. At least on Middle earth. I was so happy up in the
sea with my father- even though ill tempered and impatient- and my many sisters. My playful and
carefree sisters. All of them are nothing but a memory. A memory which is missed dearly. They
wouldn't be like this. If I didn't set foot on land or even meet Legolas. I would of been
a happier dragon princess. This is my story.
It was a summer day. My sisters and I were lounging around in the gardens. Well my sisters
were. I was practicing one of my katas.
" Sakura, why aren't you dressed," I stopped practicing my katas and looked up at the
person. He was my father who was overly dressed with his high ranking head piece tied to the top
of his head. He wore his red and gold emborided silk majestic garments.
" Otousan, what is the occasion ? " I straightened my cotton robed shirt.
" Your engagment party," tapped Otousan.
" Engagment party ? " The words rolled in my mouth with unfamiliarity. He stared at my eyes
very hard and then stared at Hanaka. She was fiddling with her fan. Otousan cleared his throat.
Hanaka looked up and saw his stern gaze.
" Oh I forgot," meekly apologized Hanaka. " I had other issues on my mind Otousan."
" I can see that," He turned his gaze towards me." Go get dressed into something
suitable."
" Hey wait don't rush me," my mouth let out what my thoughts shouldn't of thought of in the
first place." Why am I the one to get picked up to marry first ? I don't love the person let
alone know him. "
" Sakura, this is not the time to try my patience," threatened Otousan. He glared at me.
His antlers starting to form out of his head. His dragon scales are also showing. I knew that
I had to give in this time. For I don't want to see my father lay waste a village or a city.
I head back to my bedroom. My things were already packed and waiting outside my door. I walked
inside to find the clothles and accessories my father wanted me to wear. But I wasn't going to
give up that easily.
" Tell me again why I am forced to marry a beast that could be killed ? " Legolas turned
around to ask Elenwise.
" It's a dragon Legolas not some sort of game in the forest," Thranduil corrected smoothly.
" King Magdus is trying to unite all the races. He offers one of his daughters in marriage to
reunite all of us. "
" So it's one for each representitive of each race ? " the King nodded. " But why me ? "
The older elf was about to answer till cursing from another language rang through the halls of
the Mirkwood Palace.
" Sakura, you will do as I say," King Magdus entered their view. He was still in his
royal clothing only it was dirtied and had some cuts. He bent over and dragged the dragon
princess by her feet. Legolas smirked at the spectacle and laughed inside. Thranduil sensed the
humor in the prince of Mirkwood and sent a stern warning at him. The prince ceased his musement
and watched the two royal creatures. The King stopped dragging the girl. " Onna, you're
wearing out my patience. " The princess defiantly stared at her father. She saw the impatient
gaze that was staring back at her. She knew that he had it with her shinnanigans. Sakura got
off the marble floor and began to smooth her tattered and dirted silk robes.
: Probably from being dragged all the way from the enterance : mused the Prince. The
King's angry gaze softened up and he turned his attention to the Young Prince.
" King Thranduil GreenLeaf of Mirkwood," Addressed the King. He bowed to him in respect.
The Prince and Thranduil did the same. " And young Legolas. It is so good to see you."
" King Magdus of the sea," greeted both of them. They're eyes drifted towards the dirty
new comer. She was staring off at the window. " Who might this willful flower be ? " King Magdus
cleared his throat. No response came. He cleared it again but this time he nudged her elbow.
" Ow!" The newcomer rubbed her elbow. She then looked at the prince and Thranduil.
" I am Sakura Ryuujin-hime of the sea. " Sakura bowed to the prince and his friend. " It is
pleasant to meet you both." When she stood up Legolas took her soft yet dirty right hand.
" It is a pleasure to meet you Sakura," His lips were about to touch her skin.
" My son, don't you think the princess should be cleaned before you kiss her hand ? "
The prince looked up at his father.
" Of course." He released Sakura's hand. Sakura placed her left fist down to her side
from a threatening position to Legolas." I can lead you towards the bathing room. " He offered
his hand for her to take. Sakura took his hand out of fast reaction and reflexes and flipped
him onto his back. The King couldn't prevent the inevitable for his son. He and the dragon king
helped the prince up. The dragon king sent a warning glare at the smirking princess.
" Are you well ? " The princess helped up and straightened his sleeves and tunic.
" Why did you do that ? " his angry gaze stared at the princess. " Did you know my
offering was in good intentions ? "
" What kind of intention is touching someone you barely know ? " shot back Sakura.
" I'm not some tavern wench you can touch. I happen to have some morality. "
" How dare you insult me."
" How dare you try to put your lips on my hand, ecchi!"
" Sakura!" the tension between the prince and princess died down as King Magdus stepped
in between them. " I think I'll lead her to the bathing room." He grab hold of her right ear and
started to scold at the girl on their way to the room in their own language.
" That is not a lady at all but an orc," spat Legolas.
" The girl is not use to our traditions," reminded King Thranduil." Remember she was
raised differently than us. Legolas, try to get to know her. Even if she is violent and ill
tempered. "
" I'll try." King Thranduil smiled.
" Come on let's get ready for the engagement party."
" Sakura, remeber what I told you," Sakura stared at her father.
" To follow and respect their customs," repeated Sakura. She was walking with her father
to the dinning hall.
" And ? "
" Respect the prince." They stopped at the doors of the dinning hall.
" Good." smiled King Magdus."and if you do not go through what you have just repeated
then you will be punished. " The guards opened the door. " Fumyou ? "
" Hai," answered back Sakura. The door opened to reveal all the royal elves gathered
around the table. They all looked up to see them. The elves were astonished by her beauty. She
wore a sky blue shirt where the sleeves were transparent. Her shirt and slimming long white skirt
were held together with a purple silk rope which was tied up in several loops. Her long black hair
was placed up into several loops placed in an exquisite pattern. The loops were held up with
several white lotuses, light purple pins and hair chopsticks. Her porcelain like face had little
powder.
" Princess Sara," greeted King Thranduil. He got up from his chair and walked towards the
princess. " YOu look lovely tonight. "
" Thank you Thranduil-sama" He took her hand and lead her towards an empty seat across from
her fiancee. Her father smiled from by the way his daughter was keeping her promise.
" otou-san!" shouted a couple of familiar voices. The dragon king turned around to see
his other nine daughters seated together at the other end of the table. An empty chair was
waiting for him. Sakura watched as her father was seated on a chair across from where the king sat.
" I'm surprised that you haven't flipped my father after he offered you his hand,"
spatted out her fiancee. Sakura turned to Legolas and gave him a venomous stare. Then softened.
" I'm just getting use to your customs Legolas-sama," Legolas was taken back by
Sahura's change in attitude. He wished she was like his when they meet hours ago.
" Legolas-sama ? " questioned a guest next to her. " What does that mean ? " She turned
to look at that person. He was handsome. He had the same platinum blonde hair like Legolas and
in the same style.
" It means Lord Legolas.... um- "
" Haldir. "
" -Haldir-san," Sakura smiled. They started to talk. Legolas grew jealous of Haldir. He
was jealous of him because that fact that Sakura smiled at him and talked to him without any venom
in her voice. He was jealous because he wished he could get her to do that to him. He watched
her. " Legolas sama, can you please pass the bread ? " Legolas passed the plate of bread to her.
accidentally knocking down her wine cup which spilled all of it's contents on her lap.
" Clumsy me," smirked Legolas. " I hope this won't permanently stain your dress. " Sakura
picked up the spitefulness in his voice.
" That's all right Legolas-san," accepted Sakura." It also seems you have a stain on your
lap as well. " She reached over and swiped his cup. Sakura spilled the wine on his lap. " Oh dear."
Sakura faked a gasp as she placed her right palm on her cheek. " I hope you'll forgive me. It seems
I had a bit too much wine. " Legolas also picked up the spitefulness in her voice. He picked some
more food and threw it at her. Sakura quickly grabbed her plate and placed it infront of her face.
The contains stained her chest and her hair not hidden behind the plate. Everyone watched the spectacle
of the future bride and groom. She placed the plate down. An angry stare appeared on her face but
later dissolved into one of happiness. She laughed. A smile appeared on Legolas' face. So did a
bowl of soup. She and acouple of people started to laugh. They began to throw food at eachother.
" FOOD FIGHT!" shouted one of the younger guest. People began to throw food at eachother.
Laughter filled the room. Also alot of food mashed here and there. Sakura and Legolas stared at
their fathers while ducking the food flying towards eachother. King Thranduil joined in the
commotion. He was enjoying this festivity unlike the dragon king. He sat there with an chi barrier
surrounding himself. He looked angry at the site of people and food.
" Sakura," Sakura looked up at Legolas. He pointed to the food then at the king. A smile
appeared on Sakura's face. She grabbed some grapes as he a pitcher of wine.
" STOP THIS AT ONCE!" roared the king. Everyone stopped throwing food at eachother.
" Look at yourselves. Grown respected elves acting like children. YOu should be ashamed of yourself."
The red aura glowed dimme around him. Then like bombs, something hit him behind him. Everyone
gasped. He turned around to see the culprits. Sakura and Legolas. They laughed at him. Everyone
was shocked. " YOu TWO!" He screamed and ran towards them. The couple shrieked and ran into the
halls. They ran out the palace. Both of them turned around to see the King gaining on them.
Sakura and Legolas tripped over a log. THey both landed on their bottoms and watched the King
stop running. They had fear in their eyes. Then started to laugh at his stained clothing. Magdus
started to realize they weren't bickering anymore." You two are in big trouble. " They stopped
laughing and stared at the angry king. " Come with me. "Legolas got up from the ground. He
offered her a hand. She looked at it and took his hand. Legolas smiled and helped her up. She smiled
back at him. The King mentally smiled and turned around towards the palace.
" YOu two are going to help the servants clean this mess up," gave out Magdus. " And
after that you'll clean the dishes. " The two royal children looked at the mess. Food was on the floor,
the walls, and even the chandelier. " Do you understand ? "
" Hai."
" Yes sir," The King nodded at them to work and head towards his room.
" Legolas-sama, you're not really a bad person," confessed Sakura. " YOu're actually pretty
funny."
" I agree with you princess,"smirked Legolas." I meant about you. "
" I'm glad," smilled the princess. She took the mop and began to mop the floor. " I was
just thinking." Legolas looked up." Maybe we should just be friends before we um get married. " She
offered her hand to shake on it. Legolas looked it and smiled.
" Agreed, " He shook her hand then flipped her over. " It's pay back friend." She smiled
and tripped him. The two began to rough house. A light blue chi blast grazed a few inches above
their heads and over the window.
" Get back to work!" They both scrambled to their work.
Our friendship became a strong one. We would confine in eachother and sometimes we
sort of felt the same thing at the same time. This however complicated my life. When I actually
fell in love with him. Problems came up. Like another person would come between us....
