A new friend
Sakura Lee, age 14, watched as the oak doors rumbled open and a young teen with her large brown dog ran in. She yearned to know what was behind those doors. She was tired of the stuffy life she led. She knew most people would die for her life, her family was rich, and believed in "proper young ladies" And in her mother and fathers opinion, "proper ladies sit legs together, don't wield swords, don't get dirty, and DON'T leave the town." To this Sakura would always give an annoyed sigh and snap some witty remark like "where can I find one of these "proper ladies"? " or "Oh joy.." Sighing, she looked around her at the town of Hyrule. It was a pretty town, made entirely of white cobble-stone. Carts and wagons lined the streets, selling many things ranging from food to pet care supplies. The town was simply bustling with people going about their normal routine. A little bit further into the town, the shops thinned out and houses became visable. Naturally, Sakura's was the biggest other than princess Zelda's. The castle was located in the center of the town, along with a huge 4 foot deep fountain. Sakura absentmindedly handed a trader a dollar, and took a ripe apple from him. She had nothing else to do, and decided to follow the girl and her dog. She started off in the direction they went, moving at a quick pace to keep up. She took a bite from her apple, only to realize she was inches from biting a worm's head off. Grimacing, she tossed it aside and threw the apple in a trash bin. To Sakura's surprise, the girl took a quick turn left into an alleyway. Hyrule was one of the few safe towns there were, most being plagued by bums, and creeps. If not that, rabid animals. But alleyways still weren't safe, no matter WHERE you were.
Where is this loon going? Sakura thought as she followed the girl through long mazes of alleys. She knew the town like the back of her hand, but she had always skipped the alleys. She hoped the girl wasn't planning to stay down here long, since she wasn't sure of the way out of the complex maze she had just come through. Apparently the girl noticed her, since she picked up the pace to a near jog and kept mumbling feverishly to her dog. Saige took a quick turn, not knowing where she was going, but trying to shove the pretty brunette that was tailing her off track.
*** "That creeps following us..." Kyra said for what must have been the tenth time in 5 minuets. "I know that Kyra!" Saige mumbled through gritted teeth, as she dove nimbly past some trashcans and out of the alley. The alley opened up to the backyard of Zelda's castle, which was a ten-acre property made entirely of Zelda's favorite plant, roses. A small red brick walkway wound through the teeming masses of vines and flowers, to a courtyard with a huge marble fountain. Walking around the perimeter of the garden were large men in armor that hid their faces. Saige normally took this way, since she'd be able to pester the guards at the castle, and it seemed they didn't know their way around the alleys as she did. As a plus, she'd normally snatch something from the castle kitchen on her way out. Saige ducked down behind a bush, but there was no need since it was much taller than her. She turned on her heels, taking her pursuer by surprise. "WHO are you and why are you following me?" Saige hissed, grabbing the girl by the front of her blue blouse. The girl had a look of wonder in her Hazel eyes, yet she also looked petrified. "well?" Kyra snapped, stalking behind her, hair raised. She knew the girl couldn't understand her, but she wanted to help Saige all the same. "I'm s-sorry" the girl stammered, still gazing about the garden. "I'm Sakura" She held out her hand, but Saige's grip was so tight it only made her more uncomfortable. Sakura looked into Saige's dark brown eyes. Saige appeared to be studying her, and deciding since she was too young to be of any threat anyway, let her go. "sorry" Saige said, waving her hand airily. "Thought you were a spy for one of those geniuses" Saige smirked and nodded towards the guards prowling the edges of the garden, still unaware of the presence of two girls and a bear- sized dog. Sakura smiled and sat down. Her smile faded as she looked around her in wonder. "Where are we?" she mused, more to herself than anyone else. "Zelda's garden" Saige said simply as she sat down beside Sakura. "Nothin' much really. I come here a lot" Saige winced as she felt a sharp pain in her side. "what?!" she snapped at Kyra, who had nudged her hard in the ribs. "Introduce mah'" Kyra ordered crossly. Saige looked uncertainly at Sakura, who heard nothing of this except Saige making low 'woofs' and grunts at her dog. Saige blushed violently at Sakura as she gave a quizzical look. "My dog, Kyra" She said patting Kyra. "Ask 'er why she was followin' us!" Kyra urged. She quickly regretted opening her mouth, since Sakura's mouth was now wide open. "what?" Saige asked, trying to sound as if she didn't know why Sakura was gaping. She figured Kyra looked real odd, grunting loudly at her like that.
"Another one like me!" Sakura whispered, as if afraid some invisible person would hear. Now Saige didn't have to fake confusion. "what do ya' mean?" She asked "You know..." Sakura said shiftily. She snapped her fingers and a particularly large gust of wind sprang from nowhere. Saige noticed the blue necklace that was strung around her neck began to glow. She didn't have time to take this all in though, since a rock was picked up by the wind and pitched at Saige's head. "wind powers.." Sakura sighed and the gem settled back on her neck. "Yeah...I noticed.." Saige said, rubbing the sore spot on her head the rock had hit. "Animal talking powers" she smiled. "Cant think of another name for it I've always had mine, how'd you get yours?" Sakura smiled, but it faded quickly as a shadow fell over them. "You two! How'd you get here?" The trio found themselves looking into the face of a particularly large guard. "RUN!" Kyra yelped, grabbing Sakura's jean bottoms and half dragging Sakura across the courtyard into the alleys. Saige on the other hand, dove aside the guard and set off for the fountain. It was made of the same cobblestone that the whole town was of. Water shot from the top and towards the sun, coming back down and glimmering. Why not have a little fun with them before making her getaway? She turned towards the guards. Two made a dive for her, and collided with each other as Saige leapt out of the way. Smirking, she took a few steps back, and instantly was grabbed by the wrists. "wha..?!" Saige twisted, but couldn't free her hands to grab the sword that sat neatly in the sheath slung over her back. The guards towered over her 4 foot five frame. Sakura wheeled around, and freed her pant legs from Kyra's grasp. "hey! Over here!" she yelled, not sure really what she was going to do, but not wanting to let her new friend down. She pointed a finger at the cobblestone path. A sudden blast of wind picked up some particularly large rocks, and flung themselves at the guards, who in their haste to get out of the path of flying objects, dropped Saige. Saige darted out the alley, with Sakura and Kyra at her heels.
