Sakura is sweating, and panting hard, then she sat up and found herself having a nightmare,
"That dream again" Sakura said panting, she wiped off her sweat and stood up, she looked at the mirror and saw that her complexion became pale, she touched her cheeks gently, and she sat once again on her bed, her room was just right, it had cherry blossom wall papers with pinkish background, she had a bed that can be occupied by two people, but she lives alone in her house, her parents had died in a burglary, when she was 9 years old both of her parents and her older brother were killed during that horrible night,

A burglary was taking place, Sakura was thirsty at that time and went down to get a drink, when she got to the kitchen she heard something crash it sounded like glass being broken, she slowly walked to the living room and took a small peek, she saw two men with masks on, she ran towards her parent's room and woke her parents, Fujitaka carried a bat while Nadeshiko called the police, slowly Fujitaka crept behind the man and he batted him the other man was startled Fujitaka didn't know that the man had a gun, he pointed the gun at Fujitaka and shot him in his chest, Nadeshiko came to Fujitaka's side and also, she was shot dead, then Touya came out, he charged at the man who shot his parent's he picked up the bat Fujitaka was carrying and tried to bat the burglar but he too was shot, Sakura's eyes widened in shock, tears pour down freely, she stood there shocked and tried to stop thinking about what happened she tried to convince herself that it was just a nightmare, she can't find her voice, the burglar aimed his gun towards Sakura and after a few seconds, a gunshot was heard, the burglar fell down dropped dead, another gunshot was heard, the police were here but they were too late, the burglar who was knocked out was carried to the police station and her parents were brought to the hospital immediately, but once they arrived there, they were declared dead on arrival, and now she lives alone, her uncle was not at the temple, he left to another country for some training and he didn't know about the incident, and now she lives alone, she works at a restaurant at night as a dishwasher, she learned to stand up on her own, she didn't have any friends left, yes she was a minor but she can work, though it's illegal, she still worked, she wanted to work as a waiter but the manager said that she might be seen that's why he only agreed for her to be a dishwasher, she works at a fancy restaurant, and that's how her life goes,
End of Flashback-
She stood up and walk to the bathroom, she studies at a regular school at Tomoeda, which was Tomoeda High, she was a scholar so she didn't have to pay anything, at that school she was a nerd, she was tormented and all she was despised for being the nerd of Tomoeda High,
After taking a shower she dressed herself, her school uniform had a white shirt that had the school's emblem on the right side of the chest and a blue mini skirt, and then she wore her glasses they're not thick in fact they're thin, she prepared her breakfast which was toasts, she ate it along her way towards her school,
Tomoeda-Tomoeda High School-7:23 A.M-
As she walk inside the campus, she immediately heard some people talking about her, spreading gossips, it's been like this since she was 9 she fully devoted herself on her studies and no more on extracurricular activities, since there will be no one to give her money for her to use, sometimes she just faints there right on the spot, that's why she cant join any extracurricular activities, there is no one to help her, she didn't know any close relatives except for her uncle Keito who left when she was still 7,
She overheard someone talking,
"Hey Cecilia, do you know that, when the night has fallen she always go to a bar?" a girl with bluish hair spoke,
"Oh my is that true? Then if she goes to a bar, she must be a –" she then looked at the other girl,
"Yes, that's the only explanation!" the other girl said and all the other girls let out a gasp,
Sakura didn't need to hear what they say about her, she didn't know what had she done to others, so why do they spread gossips and stupidity, she entered her first class which was homeroom, and proceed to her seat quietly, she was reading her lessons when a shadow befall upon her,
"Hey Kinomoto," a boy with silver hair that was tied at the back and dark blue eyes came to her, "Wuts up?" he said slyly,
"Go to hell Xing" Sakura hissed,
"Why the cold treatment Kinomoto?" he asked honestly seating at the seat next to hers,
"I said go to hell!" Sakura turned her back on the guy,
"Remember Kinomoto, you're talking to one of the seven wonders of this school" he returned, "And how the hell am I going to go to hell?" he asked mockingly,
"Shut up Xing," a boy with brownish black hair and light brown eyes came into the scene, "Respect the girl"
"Stay out of this Shinwa!" Xing roared, as he grabbed Shinwa's collar,
"What are you gonna do punch me?" Shinwa smirked and said, Shinwa was the last of the seven wonders, the class surround the two some placing some bets and some cheering for both, and others keep provoking them,
"Hell yeah!" he roared as he launch a punch on Shinwa which gradually hit him, Sakura moved back for she didn't want to get detention like this shits,
"Tch! is this all you do? Fight? For what?" Shinwa asked continuously, Xing charged towards Shinwa to launch another attack when the door flung open, it revealed a teacher,
"Stop it you two! Detention for both of you!" The teacher said, and went to his table, he wrote something on a piece of paper, and gave it to both Shinwa and Xing, the two went to their respective seats, Sakura was listening attentively to the teacher when suddenly a crumpled paper hit her head, she looked at where the paper came from, it was from Xing, she glared at him, and continued to listen to the teacher, everything went well except for the third's fan club mobbing Sakura, they spilled juice on her, tripped her when she was having lunch, made fun of her, swear, insulted her and assaulted her, but she didn't mind them, they could mob them whenever they want and as long as they want, she didn't mind, even though everyone spread gossips about her which was true, going to a restaurant at night, but what they didn't know is that she had no family left, she never spoke to anyone,
Time Skip-End of Class-Tomoeda High-
She walked outside the school premises and went her way home, what she didn't know is that someone was following her behind, it's a group, with seven people to be exact, she turned around just to see them smirking like hell was on the loose, she started to run but she was beaten by two guys which stopped her from advancing, they brought her to a nearby alley and they started to pick on her, she was knocked unconscious by a thug when she bit him on his arm, as light faded away form her sight she saw a boy standing on the alleyway, she didn't know who it was because she was knocked unconscious,
"What a bunch of jerks, picking on a girl" he's wearing a baggy brown jeans with several pockets and a white shirt with a huge black character written on the middle of his shirt, he had gloves worn(the ones used for roller blading and skateboarding), he also had a bandana on his forehead which made his silver hair stand out, started to walk towards the thugs, one thug threw a knife, which he caught with his bare hands, "Tch! is that all you can do?" he said and let out a small laugh,
"This kid thinks he's tough eh?" a thug with green dye said, he signaled the others, by now he was surrounded, "Pathetic," he said,
One ticked off thug charged at him, he thrust his knife towards the boy but he evaded it expertly, they continually charged at him, two by two, his chance showed up when a thug charged recklessly towards him, he summersaulted and his feet hit his chin, the thug was thrown back at the wall, as the others stood there shocked, another chance showed up, he knocked out the other five thugs with only one thug left, he drew out his gun and aimed for the boy, the boy didn't even move and inch showing that he's not afraid of a gun, a gunshot was heard, the bullet didn't came close to the boy, its like he had a barrier of some sort around him, then his barrier forced the bullet back to where it came from, it was about to hit the thug when the bullet turned into ashes, another boy appeared behind the thug and knocked him out,
"Don't take all the fun away Xing" the boy with messy brownish black hair said,
"What are you doing here … Shinwa?" he said,
"It's just that I sensed that the mistress is in danger you see, and I'm here to take her home," Shinwa stated calmly,
"Tch, Do what you want, keeper of the void," He replied with frustration in his voice,
"You are the keeper of the Soul are you not?" he stated as he walk towards Sakura,
"What is it to you?" he replied but this time calmly,
"You are one of the seven wonders, you know what it originally means right, we need to keep our real identities hidden for the time being," Shinwa picked up Sakura and carried her on his shoulder, "Come with me, we need to have a little chat,", Xing followed him close behind, when they reached Sakura's house, they left her inside her bed and went out, (how they got in, don't ask me), Shinwa and Xing walked to a nearby café 'Starbucks',
"Do you need me to explain what the seven wonders mean?" Shinwa said, while he and Xing walk towards the counter, "Decaf no milk," Shinwa said,
"Same here", the registrar nodded and prepared their coffee, once its finished they took their coffee and went to the farthest table,
"The Seven Wonders, they are the ones chosen by the Threads of Fate and Valhalla, they will help the mistress fulfill her mission in anyways possible even if it means death, in our school, it only means that we have the most and highest influence and power, you know that did you not?" Shinwa explained while sipping his coffee,
"Yes I know that, but there's only two of us, the other six aren't here yet," Shinwa nodded in reply,
"Yea, there are eight keepers in total, the keeper of the Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, Soul, Holy, Void, and the Thunder, would you like me to explain each?" he said smiling a little,
"Wait you said that we are the 'Seven' Wonders, how the hell, there are eight keepers yet we call ourselves the Seven Wonders!" Xing said confused,
"I knew you might ask that, the fire, earth, wind, water, Soul, holy and the void are the Seven Wonders or Seven Keepers, the keeper of the Thunder cannot be called one of the seven wonders for his powers are unnatural, it didn't came when he was born, instead it was given to him, not by accident but by fate, the Threads of Fate are moving, that means, the Darkside is on the move, we must help our mistress fulfill her mission to save humanity, I know it's a little bit corny but we must finish it because all of the prophecies are coming true, we need to act now," he explained slyly,
"Yes I understand but how are we going to explain it to the mistress, she isn't aware of what is happening," he asked
"We'll just have to wait until something happens and then we will explain it to her at the right time," he said finishing his coffee,
Kinomoto Residence-8:29P.M.-Sakura's Room-
She stood awake and gasp, she remembered what had happened to her after class, was she now safe? Who was that boy this afternoon? Thoughts came into her mind rapidly, she looked around to see herself in her room, she then looked at herself and saw that she was still on her school uniform, she sighed in relief, she slowly stood up and went to the bathroom, she went to the sink and open the faucet, she splashed some water on her face, then a sudden pain arose to her head, she winced in the pain she was feeling right now she dropped down on the pinkish tiles, ( I wont explain what her house looks like, imagine her house on the anime,), she quickly went to her room stumbling on some furniture along the way, she dropped down when she reached her room, then everything became a blur,
After 3 days-Yasuo Residence-9:35P.M.-
There are two guys talking on a room with an unconscious girl laid on a bed, the room had a light blue wallpapers it had a dirty white curtains with a green curtain on top, the carpet was baby blue on color, there's a cabinet on the uppermost corner of the room, and a bookshelf on the lower left part near the door, the window is opened so the cool breeze came in cooling the tense situation the two are in,
"So what's your plan now?" asked a boy with messy brownish black hair, he's wearing a loose plain white t-shirt and a brown baggy jeans that matches his hair and his eyes he had a bandage on his right arm, on his head he wore a bandana,
"We should go on a quest, we need to look for the other keepers," the boy with silver hair replied, he's wearing a maroon polo shirt with a dragon on the lower right side, he's wearing jeans that fit him perfectly,
"What about her?"
"We must tell her what had happened this past three days, we must get out of here soon too, the enemy is moving quickly," he said closing his eyes to think,
The girl made a slight movement, she awoke and find herself on someone's bed, she then stood up to find two of her classmates,
"Shinwa? Xing? Where the hell am I!" She hissed at the two,
"Mistress you're in good hands now, you're at my house in my room," he replied calmly,
"Why am I here, tell me you didn't-," Xing cut her off knowing what she means,
"Oh Puhlease! You think we would do that to Y-O-U? YOU?" Xing laughed hysterically,
"Shut up Xing, I'm sorry mistress for his rudeness, that's how he treats girls most likely the nerdy type," Shinwa explained,
"Mistress? What do you mean by that?" Sakura stated questioningly, she stood up and continued barraging them series of questions, "and why am I here? Did you kidnap me?" she growled at them, the two sweat dropped at what is happening in front of them, then they thought to themselves, 'is this really the mistress?'
"Shut up and we'll explain," Xing hissed, Sakura glared at him, and slowly she sat down, trying to control her temper,
"You're the new mistress of this incredible power, the power was bestowed upon you on your birth, this power that was bestowed upon you is very prevailing, it can destroy anything, and when I say anything I really mean anything!" Shinwa said,
"Really? Then If I would want to destroy Tomoeda High can I really do it?" she said sarcastically,
"But I tell you this, if you use that power, your life will be slowly sucked away …" he said as he bowed his head, hiding his emotions entirely,
"What! Why did I ever have this power if I will die in the end?" she asked again standing up glaring at both of them, "you don't have any choice, whether you like it or not, the prophecy will be fulfilled in anyways, its been like that for decades," Shinwa replied as he turned his back,
"WHO THE HELL CHOSE ME ANYWAYS?" she growled as tears form in her eyes, "isn't my life miserable enough in my normal life? My whole family died, I don't have any close relatives left! And now this, when will my life become normal?" she screeched as tears kept constantly flow down her cheeks, "I'd rather die here right now," she stood up and walked towards the door, "I'm going home!" she said, though she didn't know where she is and even if it is already dark she didn't care all she wanted to do now is to go to her bedroom and cry her heart out,
(A/N: You see Sakura is a nerd in her school right? but outside she's not really like that, she just don't want to have any close friends as possible because she knew that only bad things will happen if she had one, like, Li on the prologue, after that incident Li was taken home immediately and she never regained her cheerfulness back, is that enough explanation?)
"Mistress … I am sorry to say that, your house was destroyed," Shinwa replied honestly, Sakura's eyes widened as tears again freely sprung down her cheeks,
"So that means you will stay here at Shinwa's until we know what we will do," Xing replied as nice as he could,
"What? H-how did my h-hou-se got des-t-troyed?" Sakura said between her sobs, that was the only memory left to her by her parents when they died,
"The dark side attacked your house when you fainted three days ago, seem like they want to take you but luckily, Xing and I were there right on time," Shinwa stated as he put a hand on Sakura's shoulder, but Sakura shoved it away and kept crying, "We'll tell you what happened when you fainted,"
Flashback-Kinomoto Residence-9:00 P.M.-
A loud explosion was heard, as a group of men started to walk inside the house, they planted c4 on each rooms, they took the unconscious Sakura and went outside, but before they reached the door, two man stood outside waiting for them to come out,
"My, my, my, how nice of them to barge in without knocking don't you think so Xing?" a boy with messy hair said smiling,
"Just shut the hell up and lets finish our business," Xing said as he rushed towards the enemy and started to chant something,
"Kon Atemi !" Xing finished as spirits formed surrounding him, he then absorbed the spirits onto his hand, and then he launch a punch on the nearest man, he flung back towards the other side, in total there are at least 20 men, "1 down 19 to go," Xing said confidently, the men gave the two no more chance, they quickly drew their guns and started shooting at them,
"Kage Musha!" Shinwa said, the bullets stopped from advancing towards them and it started to break into dust, the two constantly kept fighting until the man who carried Sakura tried to escape, Xing stayed for the fun and Shinwa started to follow the man, unfortunately the man got inside their car and started to gain speed, Shinwa jumped on the roof of the vehicle, 'Kage Musha!', the tires exploded and the car went flying through the streets, the man got off and took out his gun, there was a loud explosion heard as smoke started to rise to the skies, he started to shoot at Shinwa but again Shinwa used his Kage Musha but one bullet passed thru and hit his arm, then Xing came, "Damn you!" He roared and then he punched the man, the man was thrown away towards the traffic light and fell unconscious, then Xing carried Sakura since Shinwa's arm was shot, they bought them to his house since the enemy had already blown up Sakura's house, the days went smoothly, Shinwa sent the principal a letter which explains that Sakura's house caught fire and so she will stay to his house, but there is one thing which Shinwa and Xing didn't know,
End of Flashback-
"So that's what happened?" Sakura asked, Xing and Shinwa nodded in reply, "Then what are we going to do?"
"We were talking about that before you woke up, we've decided to go on a quest to find the other five and another one whom we don't know who it is yet," Shinwa stated
"We shall depart immediately," Xing said,
"Then lets go …" Sakura said with determination brightly seen in emerald pools,
