El told me that she was going into one of the lower dimensions for some so
called 'duties'. "I have some duties in the lower dimensions that require
my immediate attention, I shall return as soon as I am able, Sakura." So
I thought. 'Jeez, thanks a lot El! Leave me all alone why don't you?!'
Alright, maybe I should give her the benefit of the doubt... she should have a good reason for going. So I was walking home from school, in the middle of March, I should add. And I don't know if it was fate or not, but I came upon the extraordinary. "Aww! You poor little thing! You're all wet, and somebody hurt your eye!" I giggled as the furry ball of joy wriggled as I picked it up. The black puppy licked my cheek and I giggled again. That very moment, I decided on the spot. "There's no pets allowed in our apartment building, but I just can't leave you here all alone!" I smiled as the little one barked and wagged its tail happily, as if saying "I'll be quiet if I have to!"
Princess of Darkness: Chapter 3
I tend to daydream a lot during classes and that's exactly what happened the next day. We were learning about Tanuma, a hentai comic artist in Personal Planning class. I thought about names for the pup that miraculously fell into my arms the day before. Thinking to myself, I used logic to come up with a name, 'Well, I think he's going to grow up to be big and strong, so I think I'll call him "Wolf"...Perfect! I've got a way with names!" I giggled as I walked around in the halls during the short break. As I giggled, a strangely irritated voice called out to me. "Hey!" I was surprised, and simply uttered a "Huh?" And to my terror, it was Miro, the majorly short, bad-tempered guy in my grade... He looked quite annoyed and questioned me thoroughly. "Were you laughing at me?! Huh?!" I was really scared at that moment for some reason. And I began stammering, not a good sign with this guy. "W-what? N-no! I didn't... I was just... uhm...."
As I said before, stammering when talking to Miro is NOT a good idea. So at that very moment, he screamed insults at me. "YOU LYING BITCH!! I SAW YOU LOOK AT ME AND LAUGH! I KNOW WHAT I SAW! YOU WERE THINKING THAT I WAS TOO SHORT TO BE A MAN! WELL, EXCUSE ME! SO I'M ONLY FOUR FOOT ELEVEN! ARE YOU DAMN PEOPLE GOING TO LOOK AT ME AND LAUGH FOREVER!?!?!" So as he was yelling at me, I tried to back away and thought, 'Oh brother, this guy is seriously messed up about his size.' And one final insult almost put me to tears; they were there, but not coming out. "SOMEBODY AS DAMN UGLY AS YOU SHOULDN'T BE SO STUCK UP! SO GET OUT OF MY FACE, YOU UGLY DOG!" I almost broke down and cried, but our class rep walked by and warned, "Hey, Shorty! Leave Sakura alone, ok? Class is about to start!" I breathed a sigh of relief and sat down for the next class, English. When some of my classmates asked about Miro, I stiffened, until Shira, said that he went home early.
That night, I took Wolf out for a walk, alright, not night, but more of in the morning. *Oink**Oink**Oink**Oink* "Hahaha! Why do you make a sound like a pig each time you take a step? You're strange little puppy!" It was true, every little step that he took, ended up with an *Oink* My eyes watered a little and apologized to young Wolf, "I'm sorry that the only time I can take you out is in the middle of the night. But at least you're nice and quiet during the day! Two in the morning is the only time we can go out without being seen by the other tenants or the landlord. Hey, it's hard for me, too, Wolf!" Out of the blue, Wolf began growling, deep and ferociously. I wondered what he was growling about and looked in the direction that he was looking. I gasped, there was a large, very large Doberman at the corner of the street. I didn't like big dogs much, at all for that fact. I gently picked up Wolf and stroked his neck with my shaking hands, "M-m-maybe we should go back now ok?" By the time I finished the sentence, the Doberman had already started running. I shrieked and ran for my life, all around my block, screaming for help. But to no use, since it was two in the morning, everyone was sound asleep. I ran and ran until I reached the gate of the school, pulled it open, and ran inside, slamming it closed as I stopped from running.
I climbed through the window into my classroom and locked it closed. Panting from the run, I slid down the side of the wall onto the floor and thanked myself, "Man, am I GLAD that I forgot to lock the window when I had to clean the classroom after school." I grinned happily as I picked up little Wolf, "I don't care what kind of dog that is—there's no way he's going to click the gate, open a window and come through a door to get me!" Sadly, my joy was cut short by a quiet creak of the door opening. I didn't believe my eyes and ran, once again, for my life. But within two steps of running, the dog had already pinned me down and growled. Wolf was a few feet away and barked at the intruding dog. The dog bared its teeth at me, saliva dripping from its teeth, I wanted to call out, but the stupid dog had a paw on my neck... Then I heard a voice that I most definitely did NOT want to hear... "Well, well, well, what has my little pet snatched from the streets? What a perfect place for you to run, Sakura! We've been in the papers a lot lately, "Stray Dog bites Man" and all that crap." Miro stroked his dog's shaggy mane and sneered in my face while laughing. As his dog growled and barked, he grinned and seemed to approve something... that SOMETHING did not sound like a good SOMETHING... The dog tore at my skin and my blood seeped out of the wounds like water droplets escaping from a leak. The pain increased by the minute, until Miro sprinkled salt on my wounds. That maniac laughed and picked up Wolf, who was squirming to get away from him.
"Why, aren't you a cute little thing? ...STOP WIGGLING DAMNIT!" Wolf bit Miro on the hand and he burst into rage... "You little jackass!! I'll fucking kill you!!" He picked up Wolf and... suddenly, a sharp sound cut through my consciousness and I awoke, the power that existed within me awoke. I screamed out while the dog and his owner was sent flying in opposite directions.
As you may have noticed, I neither called out El's name nor had the book with me... to this day, I still wonder how all the emotional energy inside me had broken free. It seemed that the power did not belong to El, but to myself, the true dark part of me. I was growing weak, even though the surge of energy was strong, I could not control it. As I fell to my feet, Miro laughed, "What the hell? What sort of freak show are you anyways?" He turned to his dog and gave a simple, but deadly command, "I don't like this, kill her, boy." I could usually defend myself, but the energy loss was so great, I could not do a thing. At that moment, a flash of light and snarl grabbed my attention, spinning around, I came face to face with a giant dog. It snapped its teeth and bared them, my body trembled at the sight of it, it seemed like he was ready to devour me. As I braced for the attack, a scream filled the room, I opened my eyes and saw that Miro's Doberman dead on the floor. Power from the dog seemed to rush into my veins and at that moment, I could stand up.
As I stood up, the black dog padded up next to me, and I recognized that aura. "Wolf...? It IS you!" My face turned from happy and innocent to serious and ruthless as I looked at Miro. "You shall pay for what you have done to me," I petted Wolf's head, "right? My pet? Do the honors."
The next day, a mutant was on the front page of the daily newspaper. "Demon Dog Found Wandering Tomoeda Streets." The reporter who discover the mutant said this, "...the demon dog did not bark or snarl, only saying, "Miro- miro". That was one of the most amazing discoveries since the computer!" As I read the newspaper, I stroked Wolf and smiled as El was not very happy with what I had done.
(AN: well, that's it for this chapter! I'll have to think of another adventure for Sakura soon!)
Alright, maybe I should give her the benefit of the doubt... she should have a good reason for going. So I was walking home from school, in the middle of March, I should add.
