Chapter 2 - Cherry Blossom
Hitomi was sitting in the Royal garden under her favorite tree, it was a magnificent Cherry Tree and it was just in bloom so the bright red cherries where starting to appear. It had been there for as long as she could remember and it was by far her favorite tree to sit under. She sat there admiring her surroundings of all the different flowers and there radiant colors.
She was watching her little brother play with a cat as she sat there thinking about upcoming events. Her parents were starting with the preparations of her Coming of Age Ceremony, She was very nervous: she had to pick her husband on that day. How was she supposed to pick her husband when she didn't know anyone?!? Is this how everyone picked there husband, just on the spur of the moment?!? But she didn't protest, since she had never been to a Coming of Age Ceremony she didn't really know what was suppose to happen.
"I wonder who my parents are inviting" Hitomi commented to herself
Everyone I am assuming or maybe just citizens of nobility…. I guess I will have to wait and see
"SIS!" yelled her little brother, Mamoru, "I'm hungry"
"Alright let's go have lunch then" replied Hitomi annoyed that her train of thought had been disturbed. She was expected to watch over her little brother and take care of him, how annoying!
Hitomi got up and walked over to her little brother and they made there way to the Kitchen, which was buzzing with excitement as the cooks were preparing lunch.
"When will lunch be ready" I asked a near by cook
"Patience little one" grinned the cook "you will get your fill shortly" as he patted us out the kitchen and on our way.
"Well you heard the man no eating for you" I told my brother as I nudged him
"Hey! No fair" he protested as he tried to jump on me but I got away in time.
As we walked through the main hall I could see a cook receiving an order from someone who must have been a farmer, but he seemed too young to be a farmer probably only in his teens, why wasn't he in school like everyone else? He seemed familiar even though I was sure I had never seen him around the palace before. As I stared at him he caught me looking and I turned a bright red I could feel my cheeks burning. He was surprised as well, as he handed the goods to the cook the cook became confused as to why the boy became dazed all of a sudden. Just as the cook was about to look behind I dashed away so that he would not get to see me. I left my brother there confused and so the cook thought, naturally, that it was Mamoru that had caught the boy's attention.
Hitomi dashed down the hall way as she held her cheeks at the thought of what had just happen.
Who was he? And why was I so dumbfounded when he looked at me! I must have looked like an idiot! O My GOD first impressions are every thing and I ruined mine! He was so handsome I can't believe I got so carried away, His raven like hair his dark mahogany eyes, they were so gorgeous! He was perfect!
She turned a bright pink at the thought of him and his very much sculpted body (all those years as a farmer did pay off then! :P)
To bad I will never see him again… my parents wouldn't allow it anyways. Or would they… I don't know but I never knew or met up with someone for longer then a day. When I was younger even my flying instructor was different every time (I wonder why) the first day it was a man and I think he had an assistant… OH that's right he did he was about my age though… maybe it was his son but I can remember what he looked like all I know is that I loved the boys wings! They were so majestic and they were the pearliest I have ever seen, he was so cute I remember wanting to play tag with him but my instructor kept getting in the way, I never did see him again.
Come to think there are no male servants in the palace either… what do my parents want, for me to be a loner all my life?!?! And yet they want me to just pick some random person I have never met before! NO I won't do it!
Hitomi had run to her room and was sitting in the window and without noticing she was looking at the boy who had just taken her breath away, as she got an idea.
'That's it! I will follow him and then they'll see they can't keep me cooped up in this stupid palace like I am an old granny!" she yelled as she stood up making the chair she was sitting in fall back.
Thanx you all I was gonna make this longer but sry that I didn't its just I thought this was a good stop… plus I have to do HOMEWORK! AHHH! O well lol!
I will update soon!
