Chapter 6: A true friend

"Three years. I've been here for three long years...."

Sachi Hoshiko whispered this to herself. She was six years old, and her parents hadn't come for her yet...

Speaking of her parents, she tried to remember them the most possible. But all she remembered was that her mother had loose black hair, a sweet scent, beautiful blue-grey eyes and wore simple, yet elegant clothing; her father had long silver hair, a foresty scent, golden-yellow eyes and a red kimono pants. Apart of that, they were strangers to her.

She was about to take her bucket until she smelled something. Someone else was in the room...

"Sachi, come on! All the girls are waiting for you to get some water!"

The little girl cleared her head of the thoughts she had earlier. She left the room.

The boy got out of his hiding place.

"I thought she would rat me out this time..."

It was Goku, lord Kinukaji's son. He was, as usual, spying on Sachi Hoshiko. He had been intrigued by her the day she arrived. But as the years passed by, she found out he had a slight crush on her, and would sometimes use it to threaten him with blackmail, just so that he could...

"LEAVE ME ALONE YOU BAKA!!!"

He gave out a sigh. He was probably the closest boy to her age (he was eight years old) but most of the boys under the age of 10 had a slight crush on her! Besides, she didn't really like him that much.

Giggles could be heard from the riverbed; as usual, all the girls were splashing each other. Well, almost every girl. Sachi Hoshiko, as always, was sleeping in a tree. If the other girls would stop giggling, they would have been able to hear the little hanyou talk in her sleep. "Mommy. I don't want to go pick flowers..."

She suddenly woke up. The giggles had brutally stopped. She jumped down from the tree and saw a boy. He had a little ponytail and wore a dark red kimono.

"Hey, Sachi Hoshiko?"

"Yeah, what do YOU want today?"

"I challenge you to a duel."

"Why not? This bunch is pretty boring anyways. Besides, I've needed to practice my swordsmanship."

"Let's get this party started, then."

They walked away from each other. Goku took his fighting position. Sachi Hoshiko? She just stood very still and closed her eyes. He leaped to her, sword and all. The little girl had closed her eyes and stayed still until that point of the battle. She suddenly opened her eyes and took her sword out of the sheet and blocked the move. The boy tried to strike again. The same thing happened. Ten times the cycle went on, until finally, Sachi Hoshiko had put her opponent to the ground, putting her sword's edge right at his throat.

"I could kill you now if I wanted to..."

The boy gulped. She sighed, continued.

"...but what fun will that be? There won't be anything fun to do anymore."

She put her sword away and walked past him. He could see a faint smirk. He gave a slight blush. He actually got her to SMILE! Even if he lost, he still won in a way...

The next day, Sachi walked to him.

She sort of felt bad and tried to mend up wound in their social 'relationship'.

"Hey, you want to play ball with me?"

He was startled. Even after the duel, she wanted to play with him?

"Well? You playing or not?"

"Sure! Let's go!"

They ran after each other. For the next four years, that would be a common sight to everyone in the palace: Goku and Sachi Hoshiko, causing mischief and putting pranks on everyone, without exception.

They didn't know it, but in their hearts, their feelings for each other would grow...
