Tears, Fights and Confessions
"That was stupid!" Sakura yelped, for what seemed to Saige like the twentieth time since they were out of earshot of the guards. They'd been walking aimlessly through they alleys for quite some time now. "really..?" Saige said, mostly to annoy Sakura. She'd known Sakura for ten minuets and she'd already gotten yelled at, and given a long lecture on how she shouldn't mess around in the alleyways alone, and pester the guards. "YES REALLY!" Sakura yelled Sakura's face turned an odd shade of purple, and Saige couldn't help but grin as Sakura's hazel eyes grew wider. "You shouldn't MEDDLE like that!" Sakura yelped, looking distastefully at Saige. "You shouldn't MEDDLE like that!" Saige echoed in a mock girly impression of Sakura. "shut...up!" Sakura said through clenched teeth, trying to regain her composure. "Meddle?" Saige snapped heatedly "You expect me to sit in a tree all day?" "no!" Sakura yelled, banging her fist rather painfully on the side of a brick building. "I expect you to stay home! Do your parents know about this?!" Sakura felt a rush of pride as the color drained from Saige's face. She had won yet another argument. The two walked silently through the alleys, Saige lagging a few paces behind Sakura. There were less and less unpaved alleys, and the voices of many people could be heard in the distance. It was as if the two had an invisible barrier up, stating that Saige was isolating herself, purposely.
"no..." Saige said after what seemed like an eternity. But she was no longer in her confident posture, but her brown eyes were fixed on the ground, her hands jammed in the pockets of her baggy green pants. "Your parents don't know?" Sakura said grinning. ANOTHER argument won! "what parents?" Saige scowled, louder this time. She looked up at Sakura, and Sakura noticed Saige's face was red, and her brown eyes were welled two times their normal size with tears. "yours.." Sakura said, falling back so she was next to Saige. She suddenly felt really bad. She didn't mean to make Saige cry... "You do have parents right?" Saige looked away from Sakura, and suddenly seemed very interested in an ant by her cargo boot. "no.." she said so low that Sakura had to bend in closer to make sure she had heard properly. Saige suddenly stopped walking and looked aimlessly upward, trying fruitlessly to hide the tears now rolling down her cheeks. "my mother got ill when I was very young, I don't remember much of her, she died a few months after she was diagnosed. My father went out a few weeks later, and he...never came home. I was about five then...so I left and found myself a home, near things I could trust. Animals." "so you have no parents?" Sakura asked meekly, scooting closer to Saige, now feeling downright terrible for hurting Saige like that. "none. Zippo, zilch! What don't you get!" Saige said, still gazing up at the clothesline suspended from a 3 story window. "I'm- I'm so sor-" Sakura went to say but a quick movement from Saige made her stop in mid-sentence. "Don't be!" Saige said, more ferociously than when she had caught Sakura sneaking up on her. "I've been by myself for years now, and I've been doing fine! I don't need your pity!" Sakura felt the invisible barrier between the two rise again, and said nothing for a minuet. The pair walked the rest of the way in silence. They stepped out of the alley, and the sunlight made Sakura blink rapidly and cover her eyes. Saige pointed her boots towards the gates, more than ready to go home and get rid of this annoying girl. "wait!" Sakura called, catching up with Saige. She wanted to repay her, since she still felt really bad about the whole parent issue. "How about I walk you home?" To this Saige gave a snort as she tried to suppress a bout of laughter. Kyra flipped one ear humorously. Sakura looked slightly bewildered. "what?" she asked. "You 'lowwed to leave the gate, hun?" Kyra said, and Saige quickly translated for her. Sakura shook her head. "nope, mom believes in "proper young ladies" that don't wield weapons, or go out past the gate. She thinks everything I need is in here, Hyrule." At this point Saige held up her hand to silence Sakura. They had reached the gates. "see you around I guess" Saige said, waving and turning towards the gate. But a loud noise made her jump a few feet into the air, and caused Kyra to seek refuge somewhere between Sakura's legs. Sakura looked thoroughly alarmed. "what happened?" Saige yelled over the noise she had recognized as a bugle. "Don't know, but that's the alarm!" Sakura yelled back. "C'mon!" She darted off towards the center of town, and Kyra shrugged and followed. Saige stood stock still, not wanting to follow. Sakura and Kyra were soon consumed in a large mass of townspeople all running relatively in the same direction. Saige sighed, and tried to convince herself she wasn't following Sakura, she was going to see what was wrong. That kid was beginning to bug her...
