Chapter 2
The wind blew threw the autumn leaves making the forest sing. She liked days like this, chilly but warm at the same time. The birds were chirping their morning calls and animals awoke to do their normal doings. While she lay on a green filled hill watching the sky brighten. Even though the morning was nice and calm deep inside she wanted the day to turn into a storm and and cause chaos all around. She wanted to see the humans run around and try not to get caught in the storm. If only she was born a storm fairy like Evlei, who is one of the elders, but alas she was born as a forest fairy and was given the name Sakura. Sakura was given that name because of her short glossy pink hair, which many envied and wanted.
Sakura was a natural beauty with luscious plump lips, fair skin, and the most captivating Emerald green eyes. Her presence alone intimidated other female faeries. Her beauty made male faeries swarm around her.
Sometimes she liked being the center of attention but other times she just wanted to be alone.
She didn't mind being around others, just that sometimes it became too overwhelming to have everyone around her. That's why she would often go to the human realm and observe the humans. Since a very young age humans interested her. Also for some reason she has been observing one specific boy.
It all happened some years ago when she was walking mindlessly around the human streets, and she saw a boy who looked about 9 or 10 years of age, human years that is. Since faeries and humans had different lifespans. The boy had fiery red hair, pale skin, and he had the most beautiful saddest sea foam eyes she had ever seen. He looked so fragile and small she wished she could just go and hug him to make him smile.
Everyday after that first meeting she always came back to watch over him. She would sometimes talk to him even though she knew he couldn't hear her, since humans could not hear or see faeries.
It had now been about 7 human years since she started watching him. From the beginning, little by little, she felt herself falling in love with him. She knew it was wrong. Completely and utterly wrong for a faery to fall in love with a human, but she felt as if she was being pulled to him. It was a sensation that she couldn't really express with words.
She sometimes wished she could tell him about her feelings, but the rules didn't allow faeries to interact with humans, so she always stayed a distance away. She feared that her love would drive her to touch him and make him see her, because a touch was all faeries needed to make humans see them.
Faeries didn't really have many rules, but one main rule was that it was forbidden to interact with humans whatsoever. The faery elders didn't want any humans to be able to see them, since humans' behavior was always unpredictable when faced with the unknown.
But Sakura had broken that rule one cloudy afternoon while she was following the red head boy. Although he didn't look like a boy anymore. He was tall, slim, had pale skin and for some reason he still had those sad sea foam eyes. He also had dark circles under his eyes, hinting the lack of sleep.
She noticed that he had been in a hurry that day, and he stumbled on a rock and fell to the floor.
At that instant something inside her made her hand reach out to him, and before she could stop herself she had already made contact with his shoulder. She couldn't help but stare at him as he looked back at her with amazement and curiosity in his eyes. At the instant their eyes met she felt amusingly happy that for the first time he was actually looking at her.
Her joy was cut short when one of her faery friends, Ino, had suddenly come behind her and poured some dust on the red headed boys face making him go unconscious. Sakura took a while to register what had just happen.
"Ino? What are you doing here?" asked a confused Sakura
"well I was going to surprise you, but then I saw you reach out to this boy" pointing at the boy on the ground "I tried to stop you but he had already seen you, so I just freaked out and had no choice but to use amnesia dust on him."
Ino looked worriedly at Sakura
"why do you look so sad?" Sakura though for a second and said "...I-I don't know.."
Sakura wasn't about to tell Ino that she had been waiting for this moment to happen.
She didn't want anybody to know that she had fallen in love with a human, even though it filled her with Joy that he had finally looked at her after years of her looking at him.
She knew this was wrong, she knew that this went against everything that she was taught. And she knew that she would fall more in love with him now that he knew of her existence.
"so um..should we take him to his house?" asked Sakura
Ino looked at her and smiled wickedly "Well we could leave him here on the side of the road. Even if he might get sick or hurt, he's a human, we can't mingle with humans here you know that Sakura"
Sakura looked at Ino startled and said "Ino! We cant just leave him here!"
Ino looked back at Sakura and couldn't help but chuckle and said in return "I knew you would say that, your as kindhearted as always, I was just kidding"
Ino looked at the passed out red head on the floor and then back at Sakura " so do you have an idea where he lives?"
Sakura smiled and said "yea he just lives a few blocks away"
On the way back to Gaara's house Ino had used Another kind of dust that made Gaara invisible to other humans so it would be easy bringing him back.
That night when Sakura and Ino went back to their realm they were greeted by one of the top ranking Dark faeries "Hello ladies,what a lovely night this is, don't you agree?"
Ino blushed "Hi Sasuke"
"Hi" Sakura said as she pulled Ino towards her, away from the raven faery "Come Ino I need to show you something" she looked back at Sasuke "Sorry Sasuke, we'll see you later" Sasuke smirked "Alright, see you later Sakura"
The girls then proceeded to head down to Sakura's house.
"Did you see how he looked at you Sakura!" Ino said Excitedly
"yea.." Sakura replied with no excitement at all.
"whats wrong with you Sakura! He's like the most attracting faery there is! He's also a top ranking faery like you!"
"Well there's just something about him that I don't like." replied Sakura
"Well it's your loss Sakura, if you don't want him then ill keep him for myself."
Sakura smiled at her friend knowing full well of her friends feelings towards the raven faery.
Tonight, the only thing on Sakura's mind would be those beautiful sea foam eyes which she had come to love so much.
