Cries of a burning rose
She's so beautiful…
But why does she look so sad?
Chapter One: The princess of the underworld
" Aiko " A feminine yet haunting voice echoed across the dark room. A hooded girl sitting by the window looked out at the vast meadow surrounding the mansion she lives in.
" Yes Sakura-hime " A maid rushed forward, bowing deeply as she glanced at her master " Is there anything you need? "
" Has my father called yet? "
" No, Sakura-hime "
" I see… " The voice took on a sadder tone " Very well, you can go "
Sakura gazed at the door as it closed quietly. Sighing softly, she lifted the hood that covered her face and brought her knees up to her chest, hugging them as she stared at the wall.
She missed her father…
But there was nothing she can do. He is the king of the underworld and he has duties to do, which one day, will be passed on to her.
Being the only child of the legendary Kurai Haruno – or Death as most people know him – it was only a matter of time, when she'll be the one to do her father's job.
One day…She'll be the Queen of the underworld.
Sakura sighed and ran a hand through her unusual pink hair. A grim smile settling on her pale lips.
She had always been cold and stoic throughout her entire life. She hated the sun with a burning passion and often succumbed into the darkness. She always found killing and torturing entertaining. She was perfect for the role…
But why does she feel so sad?
She clutched her head and closed her eyes tightly, trying to push back the overwhelming emotions that's quickly overtaking her heart. Painful memories of her past danced around her mind endlessly, memories that she had tried so hard to lock up.
Why?
That word has been lingering around her thoughts for some time now. Why? Why can't she be like everybody else? Why can't she show emotions? Why can't she smile without feeling fake?
Ever since her mom died, she felt empty. A hollow feeling resides in her chest, like her heart's been ripped out and locked in a box to prevent her from being happy.
Happiness…
She doesn't even know the meaning of that word anymore.
Her hand fell limply to her side as the sudden truth dawned on her. Love, Happiness, Excitement, Anger…She can't remember what those feels like. Then, realization struck her. There is one emotion that she felt…The only emotion she ever felt in her life
Sadness
------------------------------------------------------------
" Whoa! " Uzumaki Naruto exclaimed as he stared at the university with awestruck eyes " I never knew that Mistview Academy is so big! "
" Of course it's big, it's the only school in the world for creatures like us, " Uchiha Sasuke stated, pushing his hands in the pockets of his jeans.
They were currently standing outside the gate of Mistview Academy. A special school for magical creatures like fairies, dryads, nymphs, demons and many more. Sasuke looked to his left and immediately tore his eyes away in disgust when a vampire chugged a cup of blood like it was wine.
Suddenly, shouts of excitement erupted around them. The goblins guarding the gate muttered an enchantment and a long red carpet appeared out of thin air.
" Clear the way! " One goblin shouted. The red carpet rolled itself as the students stood beside it, just in time before an elegant carriage carried by two dragons, appeared from behind a cloud.
The carriage was painted a midnight black, blood red outlined the door and windows. The wheels shined an impressive gold as it glinted in the sunlight. Fierce silver eyes scouted the students as the two deep purple dragons searched for any kind of danger, before landing down at a stop, right at the very end of the carpet.
The door opened as a tall demon with red skin and black eyes stepped out of it. He hissed at a group of boys that were inching their way nearer to the door, effectively making them stop and scurry away. The demon then extended a hand to the door as a small pale one took it and elegantly stepped out the carriage.
A beautiful pink haired girl rose from her seat and took a step out the door. The skirt of her Crimson dress flowed with her movement, giving people the impression of a flowing brook. Her green eyes scanned the crowd as if looking for someone and saddened comprehensibly. She sighed and walked down the carpet, flanked by the red skinned demon beside her.
In the crowd, Hinata Hyuga watched Sakura with admiration showing brightly in her white eyes. She had always admired Sakura ever since she was first admitted to the academy by her father. She had also tried countless times to talk to Sakura and ask to be her friend, but ended up stuttering and fainting after a few seconds that she just shrank into the shadows and continued to watch her and wonder what it will feel if she was her friend from afar.
A small squeak escaped her lips as a pair of hands roughly shoved her forward. Hinata squeezed her eyes closed as she lost her footing and braced herself for the hard, stone littered ground. Her eyes flew open in shock when she felt a pair of slender arms catch her before she hit the floor.
A blush spread through her cheeks as she recognized the blank green eyes and shiny pink hair her savior had.
" Be careful… " Sakura said as she set Hinata gently on her feet " …You might end up bruising your face "
" Th-Thank y-you " Hinata stuttered, straightening her sweater " I-I'm re-really sorry I b-blocked your w-way "
Sakura smiled emptily and handed her a handkerchief
" It's no problem, here, there's a little dirt on your cheeks "
Hinata's slightly pink face now sported a dark prominent blush as she reached for the red silk handkerchief. Inner Sakura laughed mentally as she watched the scene with amused eyes.
" Hey Sakura, maybe we should ask that Hinata girl to be our friend? She seems nice and she obviously wants to be our friend too. " Inner Sakura suggested as they walked away
" I don't know… " Sakura pondered "…I don't have time for friends "
Inner Sakura sighed and plopped down a recliner that mysteriously appeared out of nowhere and shook her head
" Whatever you say Sakura " She mumbled " Whatever you say… "
" Sakura-hime " The demon guard called
Sakura turned around and looked at him with bored eyes " Yes? "
" Kurai-sama told me to tell you that he will be arriving at exactly three 'o clock this afternoon "
The emerald eyes that seemed so blank before seemingly lighted up and became a lighter shade of green. Sakura could feel the tiniest amount of sadness extracting from her heavy heart. A small blank smile made it's way to her lips feeling a little bit lighter that her usual fake smiles.
" Oh, " Sakura muttered trying to hide her pleased expression " Thank you then, "
A smile broke into her face the moment she passed the gates. Her mind full of thoughts that distracted her from noticing a gourd wielding boy that was watching her with a faint blush on his face.
