One and Lonely
Snow was feeling happy. She and Fiona had passed the graduation exam and would become great ninja but Karin had failed the exam and would have to take the class again. But Fiona was worried as the graduation ceremony was about to start and her parents weren't there yet.
"Don't worry they'll be here you'll see." she reassured her but Fiona smiled at that but Lillian and Harold had decided not to go because it would only hurt them more knowing they would be sending their daughter away to a dragon guarded tower.
Fiona sighed sadly as she and her other classmates were celebrating becoming real ninja but she noticed her parents were still not there.
Snow saw that as Karin snickered at Fiona's sadness.
"Fiona it's okay!
I'm sure they were just really busy." Snow reassured her. But Lillian saw her daughter had been in her room all afternoon and didn't feel like coming out but Snow understood that her friend was mad.
"She was angry because you and her father missed her graduation ceremony.
It was really important to her." Snow told her.
Lillian understood but she knew that but Harold was feeling nervous.
He knew he and Lillian had to talk to Fiona about being sent away and was trying to find the right way to tell her. Snow was with Fiona in her room. Fiona was still mad at her parents but was wearing her Konoha head band on her forehead. She hoped that her friend would be okay but then she saw Lillian come in.
"Fiona there's something we need to talk about.
It's important." Lillian told her daughter as Snow decided to go home to her house in the forest so Fiona and her parents could have some privacy. Fiona wondered what her parents wanted to talk to her about but had a feeling it was bad......
The next morning Snow saw Fiona show up at school and was sad but was hiding it. She hoped that nobody would find out especially Snow because it would hurt her too much.
"Fi-Fi you okay?" she asked as Fiona's train of thought was broken by that.
"I'm fine Snowdrop." she answered as Snow saw she was distracted while Iruka was talking about their meeting their new senseis and team mates after lunch. She was in a squad with Snow and Hinata. She smiled sadly at that.
But she was thinking about what her parents and her had been talking about last night.....
Fiona's mouth was open wide in shock as she heard what her father had told her as her mother saw tears in her turquise eyes.
"S-So you want me to be sent away to a tower for the rest of my life because of my curse?
My entire life is here with you, Mom and my friend Snow!
You know that!" Fiona said as tears ran down her face as she ran out of there and into her room and slammed the door. The princess couldn't believe that her world was coming to an end along with her friendship with Snow and she couldn't let the pain go away. But then something happened as somebody appeared before her.
"Fiona....." the soft voice said as the teenage princess opened her eyes and saw that her demon was in front of her.
"W-Why're you here?
I thought you were inside me." she asked the demon.
"I am but sometimes I can come out of you when you need me like now." the Winged Demon of Love and Healing told her.
"Y-You heard what my parents told me?
My life is over now!
Snow would hate me if I told her and Hinata and my other friends wouldn't understand.
Sometimes..... I wish I was normal." she told her demon. It understood how Fiona felt. It had been the outsider from all the other demons because it didn't want to destroy a village or hurt people but give love and healing. She'd wished that she could be normal like Fiona had wished but learned that she was normal in her own way.
"You are normal.
You may look like an ogre at night but inside you're still you and your heart is so pure and good that nothing can darken it. I'm sure Snow and your other friends will understand if you tell them.
Like you, I was an outcast among the other demons because I didn't want to destroy villages or hurt people like they did but spread love and healing and I wished I was normal but I learned that I am normal just in my own way.
You should be proud of yourself.
There's nobody in this world or kingdom like you." she said as bright light filled the room as the demon went into Fiona again. Lillian saw her daughter was thinking as she entered the room.
"We're sorry if you were upset by our news but we're only doing this because we love you and don't want to see you hurt." Lillian told her looking into Fiona's eyes were full of sadness.
"I understand Mom.
It's just I get used to having a somewhat normal life and I have to give it up." she told her. Lillian understood as she hugged her daughter trying to comfort her.
"I know honey but I gave up my life of being a princess for your father." she told her as Fiona nodded.
Lillian left after Fiona fell asleep.....
Fiona sighed as she saw Hinata and Sakura along with Ino stare at her as they were sitting at the same table eating lunch. She couldn't tell them yet because she didn't want to hurt them.
"But maybe it'll be better if they do know." her heart told her. Fiona agreed as she mentally gathered up her courage to tell them the truth.
"T-There's something I have to tell you." she began as Snow realised something was wrong as she and their other friends waited for her to go on.
"My parents are sending me away to a dragon guarded tower to await a prince who'll be able to break my curse with True Love's First Kiss and I might not be with you guys.
I wanted to tell you guys but was afraid of hurting you.
I understand if you guys don't want to be my friends." she said about to get up but somebody stopped her by putting a hand on her shoulder.
It was Snow.
"We do want to still be your friends but that's not fair that you can't be with us but you'll be back someday, right?" Snow told her as Hinata, Ino and Sakura agreed.
Fiona smiled as she realised her friends wouldn't desert her like that.
When she got home, Lillian had told her that she would be going to the tower in a week's time......
Fiona hoped that her friends would be okay when she left.....
