• It was two weeks befor the yearly festival of the village was to take place. All the stores were filled with people and the village streets were very busy. All the you wemon and men were happy execpt for one pink haired young lady. She was staring at the ocean lost in complete thought.'What if i am a burden to this village? Will i always be alone?' her thoughts were cut off by a light tap on her sholder. She turned around only to face a pair of deep blue colored eyes staring at her. She felt her cheeks get warm and she turned quickly to make sure that the person staring at her wouldn't notice her blushing. "W-what do you want?" she studdered. "Forgive me if i starteled you. I just noticed that you were all alone out here." the stranger replied. ["Well as you can see im fine being a-" not able to finish her sentence she was quickly being turned around and once again the deep blue eyes were staring at her again. She felt her cheeks getting warm again and she froze in shock. "No your not okay with it. I can tell just by looking into your eyes that you sad and lonely." the stranger said with concern in his voice.'He can tell all of that just by looking at me!?' she thought. "You long for a friend to care about you and you hold back your tears because of your pride. You wish for people to remeber you and accept you-" the man was cut off by the begging voice of the pink haired girl "Stop it! Stop it!Just leave me alone! I know what i am to this village! I know what they think of me! They think im some kind of monster and you would to if you knew the truth!" She screamed. she shut her eyes to hold back her tears. She felt something warm go around her and befor she new it he was pulling her to him. his voice was soft and sweet when he said "Shhh....Its ok. Let out your tears. Let out all your anger and frustration." She pressed her face againts his chest and let out a long stream of tears. She cried for hours but the man did not budge. He rubbed her head and keep telling her it was going to be okay. When the sun finally set she had stopped and felt a huge weight beging lifted from her. She stared at the man not knowing what to say. Then she relized she didnt even know this man and her cheeks turned a bright pink when she noticed that she had cried, screamed, and let out all her feeling to a person she doesn't even know! The man chuckled. "W-what is so funny?" she asked. "It's just that a blush suits you better then a sad face, my dear." he said with a smile. "W-what is your name?" she asked feeling her blush grow pinker by the second. "My name is Sarotobi, my dear cherry blossom." He said. "How do you?" she said surprised that he knew what her parents called her. "After yout parents died.....they entrusted you to me. They wanted me to take care of you." he said sorrow now fillinf his voice. "But you your about the same age as i am! how are you going to take care of me!?!" she said a little loud. "I have my ways my dear. but first" he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box. He handed it to her. "Happy birthday sakura." he said with that same sweet tone. "You....you got me...a...birthday present....?" she said then started to open the box slowly. Her eyes grew wide as she stared inside the box. It was a gold necklace with a pink rose at the bottom and on the back it was ingraved 'To my sweet cherry blossom from your caring protector.' she felt little pools of water form at the bottom of her eye lids. Lei smiled as he saw how happy she was. He lightly grabbed the necklace and asked "Would you like me to put it on you?" She nodded and moved her hair out of the way. After he put the necklace on he stared in awe as the necklace match her perfectly.
