This strange thing called love (repost)
As children they knew each other from neighboring villages. The village of the sword and the village of the wing. Yunsung and Talim were the best of friends till one day at age 10 and 13 their friend ship faded with Talim being the new wind priestess and Yunsung the new Sword Master.
Since they were so busy they soon forgot parts of their childhood friendship and moved on thinking... 'I'll never see them again anyway...it's no big deal.'
5 years later
A young girl in white priestess robes prayed as the wind whispped through her black hair pulled back into two small gold bands.
Slowly she opened her eyes and gazed into the distance.
"it's coming..." she whispered to herself.
She then ran down the hill through the woods and stopped at a clearing. She froze and looked around her. She dropped her robe to reveal a green strip covering her top and loose baggy white capris. Her gold priestess necklace which was her symbol showed too.
"3-2-1..." she said to herself.
Then a young man jumped out of a bush, sword in hand, and lunged at her. She jumped back and did an ukemi off the trunk of a tree. Now she was behind him and sent a powerful kick to his back. He fell forward.
"Who are you and what are you doing on our territory?" She said in a serious tone.
"What do you mean what am I doing on your territory this belongs to both lands. And who I am does not concern you little girl now run home to your mommy where you should be." The red haired man replied very smugly.
"I don't have a mother to go home to...she was killed in a fire...you have no right to call me little girl...for you information I'm a wind priestess and you have no authority to boss me around and I..." Talim was cut off.
"What do you mean I have no authority I'm a higher rank than you'll ever be and so you know I'm a sword master so watch it or I might slice you." He said with a smirk.
"Fine if it's a challenge I accept!" she replied pulling out to arm swords that reached past her elbows.
"Fine but your wasting my time so I'll just..." he was cut off by a jab in the crotch.
He doubled over in pain. Man she hit hard! He got up after the pain subsided and unsheathed the sword at his side and started to swing it around in fancy ways
'show off!' she thought.
The battle began.
She swung her swords at him in a furry as he did the same both dodging each others attack. At one point he thought her had her for sure but then she backfired his shot and he was found on the ground with her on top (straddling him).
She looked down with a smirk and he looked up at her confused.
"Shit girl...you're strong. Where did you learn to fight like that?"
"It's part of my training but if you're trying to find a weak spot in me it's not working!"
He couldn't put a finger on it but she seemed so familiar. Unbeknownst to him she was thinking that same thought.
"Hey umm...Miss could you get off now? I'm kind of uncomfortable." He said in almost a whisper.
"Huh? Oh heh sorry!" she got off and held her arm out to him and he took it. She pulled him up and he dusted himself off. "Oh and you don't have to call me miss... My Name is Talim. What's yours?"
"I thought I told you I wouldn't tell you but since you asked nicely...I'm Yunsung." He held his hand out to shake hers but she was struck with the name so hard she fainted.
'Lord Almighty!" He exclaimed as he fanned her face lightly.
When she was finally waking. She smiled at him.
"You took quite a fall Talim...you ok?"
"Yah but I'm surprised you didn't recognize me...Yunsung."
"Ok...you're creeping me out. What do you mean recognize?" he said slightly confused.
"We used to play together. When I was ten and you were 13. Don't you remember we had to part because of my being forced to be Wind Priestess and You being Sword Master? Don't you?" She said sitting up out of his hold.
"...wait wait back up! We used to play together? How come I don't remember. Wait (again) you mean the Talim who fell out of a tree when I was sitting underneath it. But I thought you were...gone..." Yunsung finally started to remember.
"Mhhmm... that's exactly the one I am. Do you remember 'Yun-Yun-chan'?"
"How could I forget? But how come you never wrote to me?"
"Because I was not allowed to write letters to anyone outside the village. Even though I seem like I have a lot of responsibilities I cant do them until I reach age 20 and now I only have 5 more years of half freedom then it's bye bye normal life."
"So how come you had to leave me? How come you had all this time to see me and you didn't?"
"Training...I'm refered to as a priestess event though I'm young but I'm still also known as 'runt'. I HATE that nickname." Talim got up off her spot and started to gather her things.
"where are you going?" Yunsung asked.
"I have to go prepare for a party tonight. I'm supposed to help set up. But it was nice to see you again! Bye..."
Her arm was grabbed by Yunsung. He pulled her in so they were very close together.
"Promise me you'll see me again." Yunsung whispered to her.
"I-I..."She stuttered.
"You have to promise me...I don't have many friends now please come see me again tomorrow same time same place. Please?"
"I cant...Yunsung one reason they tore us apart aside from my job is..."
"Is?" He asked.
"I'm not allowed to love because it would get in the way of my Priestess concentration...it's not my choice ok? I'm being forced to live my life this way." She looked to the side.
"Then run away...it's obvious that you don't like living there. You'll be accepted at my village please? Do you really want your life lived for you and without love? Because you sure don't sound like you do." Yunsung said in a very, very, very, serious tone.
"I-I'll think about it ok? I'm late." He let go of her and she ran off.
"Same time tomorrow!" he yelled at her retreating figure.
At the Wind Village
"TALIM! You're late...excuse please...well?" he master who took her in after her parents death was mad that she was late.
"Well I was meditating in the hills and I lost track of time."
"OK well just don't do it again!"
"Yes sir..." she walked into her room. He was so mad at her she had to miss the ceremony.
"I should have just stayed with Yun-yun-chan. Maybe I should run...to his village he said I would be accepted. After all I do have swords (just two small ones). I'll talk to him tomorrow. If I can..."
Tomorrow
Talim walked into the clearing and saw Yunsung lying in the field. WITH HIS SHIRT OFF!
She blushed at the sight of his nice 6-pack. Jeez was a body. She inched closer and saw he was sleeping (or atleast looked that way) until...
He grabbed her and pulled her towards him. Now she was on top of him. He glanced up at her and smiled.
"Oh yes this position really makes you uncomfortable huh Yun-chan?"
"I'm done being uncomfortable...So have you thought about running yet?"
"I think I want to but I don't know...I always get caught."
"Stick with me then. I'll help you!" He said sitting up so she was in his lap.
"Alright follow me!" Talim said getting up.
He followed her and then they snuck around until they reached the hut she was staying in. Yunsung hoisted her up through the small window and she quickly packed everything. Her clothes, Her swords (all 15 types), etc. and jumped out again. He helped her carry two of her bags (She only had 3) and they ran off.
