Yellow POV
"Lance is that you?" I mumbled.
I held the baby tighter. I felt like I was floating and I didn't want Sapphire to get hurt. I heard a voice fill the room. Suddenly light surrounded Sapphire and I... I felt safe and reassured. Then…
Then…
"Yellow wake up!"
Yellow quickly sat up straight and wipe off the drool that was on her left side of her cheek. "I'm so sorry sensei for falling asleep… again."
Student laughter fill the classroom "Aw is the savage girl up already." One of the students sneers.
"Nope I think your confusing her for her sister. She's the sloth." Giggles erupt throughout the class. It had been this way since she was little and it no longer hurt her to hear their jeers or insult.
"Quiet! Yellow, could you please see me after school today?"
"Yes sensei" Yellow mumble. She focus her attention on the teacher until she get bored. Yellow look out the window and doze off again. I haven't had that dream in a long time. I can never remember what happens after the light surrounds me. Nor could I remember who 'Lance' was.
When the class ends Yellow slowly pack up all her things. She waited untill everyone left the classroom. Once everyone was gone Yellow got up to the teacher. "Yes sensei. What did you want to tell me?"
The teacher took off her glasses and looks me straight in the eyes. "Yellow, you're one of the smartest students in this school but you keep falling asleep in every class. Are you not getting any sleep at night?"
"I am getting enough sleep it just…. stuff happens… I'm sorry but I need to go so I can make dinner for my family. Bye sensei." I quickly leave the class room to go to the store to buy the ingredients for dinner tonight. Once she had finish buying the ingredients she needed she headed home. Her house was close to the wood. She pass the shrine by her house and went down the road. Soon she was tackle off the street by her little sister.
"Sapphire! Can you please not greet me like this all the time. At least do this when I'm on softer ground." Yellow smile lovingly at her little sister. Sapphire was taller than her and have sapphire blue eyes which were a bit more slanted then Yellow round green one. Her hair was more hazelnut while Yellow hair was more like sunlight. They may look nothing alike but they care about each other deeply.
"I'm so sorry onee-chan. I just saw yah and I just had to give yah a big hug. Yah seem sad. Did those girls do anything to you? If they did I'll kill them." When Sapphire stops using "yah" and say "you" it mean she serious.
"No, no it's fine, they did nothing wrong. Come on I got the ingredients for the curry tonight. Do you want to get some snacks for later?"
"Sure I want meat bun!" She is already drooling. Some of her drool lands on her uniform. She is wearing a navy blue winter junior high sailor uniform that had a red ribbon. Sapphire wore shorts under her skirt. It took me forever to convince her to wear her uniform. She has always tried to get out of it since she started junior high.
"Okay, just stop drooling. I don't want to wash your uniform again." We slowly walk toward the convenience store.
I am a second year of high school and have no friends. All the girls in my class hate me because all the boys want me. Why is it always the innocent one that gets harassed by guys? I guess they just want something to taint for their own personal gain. Sapphire and I are also somehow fluent in Latin even though I don't remember being taught. Also I'm not your average school girl. For some reason I have a special skill…
"Yellow-san!"
Yellow turn around and see Taicho running toward us. She smiled gently at the German shepherd. "Hello Taicho, how is your owner? Is she feeling better?"
"Yes, my owner getting better. Isn't that great?"
"That wonderful Taicho! How your puppies? Are you still in contact with them?"
"Yes. They are growing up to be loyal German shepherds like myself." She nods as she says this.
"Tell them I say hi. I need to go. I'll talk to you later, have a good day." Yellow gave her a hug before Sapphire and her leave.
Sapphire looks between me and the dog. She then whispers "Were you and Taicho talking again?"
Yellow nod her head with a goofy smile. Sapphire sighs and says "No fair! I wish I could talk to animals. Oh well I guess I will just stick to talking to Toro."
When Sapphire and Yellow finally got he meat bun they quickly return enter the two story house that seem to be a hallow shell since their parent passing. Their parent had died in an accident a year ago and they left the girls the property to the home so that they could still live there. They also left them money for living expenses. Sapphire and Yellow don't like using that money so they both got part-time jobs. They have no other living relatives so they live by ourselves.
Once they open the door Toro is all over Sapphire. Toro is a bit of a mystery. She came to the, the day we came back from the funeral…
Flashback:
Yellow opened the door with tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe she just buried her parent a few hours ago and she had never thought about how one day their daily life will abruptly be cut short. She didn't know that once car drive will them. They'll never come through this door ever again. They will never say 'welcome home', 'have a good day', never will they say 'I love you'... otou... okaa... Fresh tear travel down her face.
She looked at Sapphire. Sapphire hasn't talked this whole week. She had even took a tent from the garage and been sleeping in the woods. Sapphire's eyes were always full of life, they now looked lifeless and cold like ice. Stream of tear roll down her face, her body was shaking terribly, and suddenly Sapphire started screaming.
"MOMMA PAPA DON'T LEAVE ME! WAHHHHHHHHHHH! WAHHHHHHHH! WAHHH! MAMA PAPA WHY WHY why why…" She then cried harder and harder. While she kept crying and repeating why, the room suddenly got warm. Sapphire stopped crying and looked at her hand which was clutching together. An orange light was radiating out of her hands.
"Sapphire…" Yellow was stun the light that was glowing in her sister's palm.
The light suddenly stopped and when she opened her hands there was an orange baby chick the size of her palm. I looked closer and saw that the bird looked like it was on fire. Yellow quickly tried to get water but it spoke.
"Sapphire-sama? Is it really you?" It begun to cried. It didn't sound like it was in pain or anything. It sounded relieved and happy.
"How did you know my name? Who are you? What are you?" Sapphire voice sounded hoarse because of the crying she did.
"I'm the elemental bird of fire and I'm you faithful partner. I was destined to be with you from the moment I was born. For years I have looked for you, but I couldn't find you because your power hadn't awakened. But just now I felt it. I was shocked when I noticed it was so far away from the kingdom. But I didn't care how far it was! I wanted to meet my life partner and protect her immediately. Now you must give me a name so our bond can form"
Sapphire eyes shined with life once again and happiness radiated out of them as she spoke the name she had decided on. "Toro. Your name is Toro."
Ever since then Toro never spoke about the 'kingdom' or about Sapphire's power ever again. If Toro did Yellow wouldn't know. Toro doesn't like to talk around her much. The reason why she wasn't sleeping at night is because of Toro. You see, Toro has tried to teach Sapphire how to use fire. Toro demonstrations always start a fire in the middle of the room and she had to put it out before it spreads. Why is Toro even trying to teach Sapphire how to use fire? She is just a normal girl… Could that be Sapphire's power?Fire? Did Ma and Pa know about her power? Damn it, I just wish Toro will just talk to me about what she knows.
As Yellow clean up after dinner she had decided to clean up my parents' room since dust is starting to build up. She clean every inch of the room until she notice an antique green velvet box. Yellow remembered coming into Ma's room and seeing this box. Whenever she tried to get a peek into the box Ma and Pa always caught her or Sapphire and kicked them out if they got to close to the box.
Yellow quickly made it to the box and open it. In the box are Ma's most prized possessions. There are four photo albums. The first one had pictures of her family, the second had pictures of her and pa, and the last two were filled with Sapphire and Yellow. By the time Yellow had reach the last page she notice that she had been crying. In the bottom of the box there was a tiny jewelry box.
Yellow, out of curiosity, open the box and I see four necklaces. There is a ribbon that pairs up the necklaces. Two necklaces were lockets while the other necklaces were... What was the word again... Oh yeah solitaire pendents. (author note: A necklace that focus on the gem.)
The blue ribbon has silver or a white gold chain I'm not really good at telling the difference. There was a big blue gemstone in the middle it. It look like a night sky on a clear night. It so blue that not even the sea could be compared to it. Maybe the sea at night. The other necklace was a golden circle locket with a design in the middle. It look like a very well detail drawing of a tree. There was two stones that look like an emerald and ruby by each side of the tree. On the back of the golden locket there was something written beautifully "Sapphire Birch".
The yellow ribbon had a white gold or silver chain. Maybe I should get a professional to look at these.There was an emerald in the shape of a tear drop. It kinda remind me the shape of a leaves. I hold it toward the light. It even look like the forest when it a sunny day. I never saw a gemstones that look like parts of nature. The color itself look like a leaf of an oak tree. It feel like all the essence of nature was pour in to the stone. The other necklace was a silver circle shape locket with a yin yang design in the front. That different instead of the two dots there is the moon and sun on it. There was also a faded light green petal that was small. Also the was a something written in the back.
"Amarillo Del Bosque Verde?"
Also to help those people who are confused on the san, chan and onee is father, okaa is mother.
Sama is used mainly to refer to people higher in rank than oneself or someone you admire.
San is is a title of respect typically used between equals of any age. So it kind of use for friend or class mate.
Chan is a closer version of san. You use it for your closest friend.
Onee chan is older sister.
Please read and review. Also if you have any suggestion i will be glad to hear it.
