Chapter 2
Sayuri's POV.
Mama has been so happy that I found something that I love to do... I treasure my family so dearly, but I think that my mother is indeed, the one im closest to... She is incredibly beautiful for a human, with her laong black hair braided in a warrior's braid down her back, it was so long, it reached just below her hips... She was a wonderful mother... Kind and gentle, she never was mean or hateful to any of us growing up... I remember how frightened she was the first four months of my life, my brother and sisters were still infants learning how to crawl, and I had grown to one year old... Every four months, I'd grown another year... She often told me when I got older, how thankful she was that her mother had bought her a camera with several memory cards and a portable camera charger... The charger held two months worth of charge, that way, she didn't have to run home too often to charge her camera up... I was amazed when I turned four years old and saw myself as a baby onbmy mother's camera one day and couldn't help but be curious... Not many children had thier memories preserved where they could watch them like that... It was one thing my mother truly treasured...
It was very special to me as well... Here lately, I've been sneaking out without Jekotsu or anyone else with me and go hunting for crystals... I know I shouldn't do that, I love my mother and everyone else in my family, but here lately, they have been a bit too protective of me... I suppose it's because I'm now of marrying age... But I've yet to meet a male that I like that way... Daddy always told me that he'd never force me to do anything that I didn't wish to do... But my great grandmother, his mother, wishes otherwise...
" Sayuri!" Great grandmother would sigh impatiently, " You must find a powerful mate one day, to rule our lands when we and your father are gone!"
But I'd always tune her out... It was extremely irritating. I suppose she means well, but even daddy had told me grandmother medals too much for her own good, and then we both laugh like crazy... Daddy is a big strong dog demon Prince, and when he and mama are in the same room, you can see the love shining in thier eyes... That's the kind of love I want... Someone who truly loves me and me alone... Strong and courageous and brave... Handsome... I sighed as an image of my night in shining armor passed through my mind, and I knew that I probably had stars in my eyes, but I didn't care... A girl has every right to day dream about her future after all... Suddenly a powerful dark demonic energy flared, revealing it's presence to me, and I instantly began to panic... I honed in on my senses to pinpoint the auras location... And there he was... Shining like a great dark god of night, with his long black hair and dark blood red eyes as he stared down at me... He was so incredibly handsome, just the sight of him made my heart pound...
I blushed when I saw him staring at me, and instantly began to worry weather or not I looked ok... I had on my favorite light lavender silk kimono with blue crescent moons on it and a silver obi to match...
" Hi there!" I called, trying to be polite and not wanting him to think I was one to ignore someone who might want to talk, " My name is Sayuri! What's yours?!"
The man just stared at me like I was crazy... He wore hand made clothing made of freshly tanned dear and elk hides and had his hair in a braid down to just above his shoulders... Boy he was handsome! He smirked at her dangerously when he caught her staring at the muscles that were visible underneath his shirt that hugged him...
" Your are being awfully rude, ya know!" I said, beginning to become angry, " I'm trying to be nice and make new friends!"
Boy did I regret yelling at him the minute the words were out of my mouth, for quicker than I could track him, he was near enough that I could see his piercing eyes staring at me with us literally being nose to nose... This was not good... Not good at all...
