Prologue~
Sasuke's POV
It was dark. The smell of festival food and the sound of the pounding drums wafted up from the village. The laughter of small children and chatter resounded in the valley encompassing the village. "Boom!" A whistling sound cut through the air and suddenly everything was aglow with light. Sharp colorful fragments lit up the night, bursting like the shattering of a thousand diamonds. Outlined by the glow of the moon, was a slim figure of a girl sitting on the edge of the cliff overhanging the festival going on below. Even in the darkness, she shone brightly, laughing and playing with a small fox. Her deep ocean colored eyes sparkled, and her dark raven hair, which cascaded down her back, was shiny and clean. Her light blue yukata, with yellow and orange koi, was slipping slightly off her slim delicate looking shoulders, exposing the fair silky skin underneath. She looked like an angel. A twig snapped under me. She whipped around and stood up in a defensive position. Her fox hopped down and suddenly grew in size, growling fiercely. "Who's there?" she said cautiously, her eyes sharp and alert. Ahh, my body seemed to move on its own. I walked into the light of the moon, hands up. "Uhm, sorry," I muttered. Why am I having this much trouble looking into her eyes? "I…didn't expect anyone else to be here," The tension in her body relaxed, and she straighten up. She looked at her fox, still snarling, and stroked its fur. "It's ok Yushin," She said softly. "I don't sense anyone else, and he's not armed, calm down," The fox looked at her reluctantly, and shrunk back down to a smaller size, its eyes still watching me distrustfully. She pulled up her yukata sleeves quickly and gave me a sheepish grin. "Sorry about that," She said, blushing, embarrassed. " I wasn't expecting anyone to be here." She smiled broadly at me,
"Hi! I'm Sora," she said extending her hand out to me. "It's nice to meet you! You look about the same age as me, so look forward to seeing me in your class soon at ninja school!" Without thinking, I also extended my hand slowly, and shook hers. This girl, so mysterious and unpredictable, captivated me severely. "Likewise," I said quietly. She frowned and walked up right in front of me. "Well at least give me your name!" she pouted teasingly. She's definitely the one, I thought, raising my face to the light and gave a crooked smile. "Sasuke," I said gently. She is the one for me, but I can't tell her. Not yet… She smiled widely. "Nice to meet you, Sasuke!"
I can't tell her my feelings just yet…
