midnight had passed about a 'hour. The capital was quiet and asleep at night, the streets deserted. A red bike was circulating between the asphalt in search of something. Or rather, someone.
"And now the last missing component to make sure .." said the blond as he let slip his eyes on 'electronic device that signaled a point of light a few blocks away. Mew The project was initiated, and he had to keep under surveillance the predestined.
The first one had examined, had similar genes to her, the Iriomote wildcat, a girl that all pepper talked a lot and was not able to control his emotions. Because of this he had had to dwell more on her to gather more useful information that, perhaps, when the time would come, the daughters would have reported.
The second belonged to a very prestigious family and had inherited the genes of the blue lorikeet. She danced beautifully. Then there was that a little awkward and clumsy. Good, too, given that this had to be bullied by his classmates. He had been the victim of teasing of school mates, because too inteliggente a comparison of its coetani and beyond. But he was confident that girl and all the others. He gambled everything on them.
The last check but it was a little girl. A bundle of energy and vitality, interested in money and the entr'actes entertainment. In the house where he lived with his brothers Sicre a hubbub of noises, but she was alone. The parents were not present.
parked the bike at a distance of precaution, always with the detector in hand, headed for the bright point. Although it was early September the temperature was rather low, but was not sure that the creeps who runs his body were due to cold. Each of the girls had characteristics and behavioral traits that attracted the actions and instincts of the DNA of animals that had red on inside their bodies. What would one expect from one who had the dangerous gray wolf from the mantle?
"And who are you?"
Item warm, safe, with a hint of contempt. He came from behind him. He once surprised and alarmed, the heart speeds up, the adrenaline starts flowing in his veins.
cobalt eyes are fixed inside to her, hungry. The face was a breathtaking beauty dimly lit by the pale glow of the stars. It was a moonless night.
How did he find? and why he had not heard it get there?
She, meanwhile, backed with a leap. It is positioned on a phone booth and never offset the Suardi. His speed was remarkable.
"My name is Ryou Shirogane. What's your name? "Took a few steps before him.
"Do not come near me. I could hurt you and I have yet to assess if something is right or wrong. And here the questions I do. "Decreed almost growled.
Ryou smiled. That girl had wrist. And even if you had not planned to meet face to face at least would have explained what was happening ..
"Learning to live and to control and your instincts .. Let .. "
but did not finish the sentence because she was wearing. The cold and tapered fingers pressed on his neck gasping for breath. The other hand instead had locked her wrists, tenendoglieli tight behind his back. And at that moment was Ryou Shirogane fear.
"dannatro you're responsible for what they are now?" Her voice trembled from 'wrath. "You have the faintest idea how shocking to realize, at any moment, you can jump to more than two feet without any effort, to hear every little sound, to perceive all smells so much to be disgusted, to be willing to kill to satisfy my hunger. You have no idea what it means to look at your reflection and see a beast? "The close of the girl grows as whistled in those things' ear to him.
"The world do ..." She managed to give an answer. "You must save the world."
Zakuro loosened his grip. what was that guy ranting?
"If you let me explain I'll tell you everything." Continued Ryou, so, told him the illusion that he had killed his parents, Keichiro and aliens. When he had concluded the girl was still in front of him.
was extremely stupid and irrational that he had heard, and perhaps that was also mentally unbalanced, because, as you might expect, had not provided any concrete evidence, but without knowing the exact reason, would be inclined to trust what 'stranger.
"If what you said is true, which I find it hard to believe, then I will fight this chimera. But it is only to re-establish my genome. I will not go to a team of circus freak. Do not make myself ridiculous. If everything that you told me a figment of your mind then prepared, because track your faei smell and everything to return to the normal person I was. Whatever It Takes. "
He, on the other hand, had acknowledged his slim figure and fascinating.
"Do what you like, Fujiwara Zakuro."
"Always."
The Victorian dolls
;
S Trano .. He never thought of being in a situation like that. Not with you anyway. But what surprised him most was the sense of embarrassment, almost childish that she could bring out in him.
was seven in the evening. They walked side by side in the river of busy people and alarmed to seek the gifts of 'last time. On December 24, Christmas Eve. For this, the team originally had agreed to meet at 6:30 p.m., so spend some time together before being reunited with their families, but in the end he was left alone and Zakuro.
Ichigo of course, as soon as his Aoyama-kun had invited her to come out began to stammer, purple in the face, by leaking that he could not miss the opportunity to at least spend Christmas eve with the beloved.
Mina knew her father, especially his older brother, Eisuke, had canceled their pledges to stay in the family, decried efforts apologizing over and over again with Zakuro; Retastu however, was already playing two days for his first skiing holiday, excited in wanting to learn to ski, Purin and finally had all the brothers in the house and did not seem appropriate to bring the chaos of the metropolis, as it already caused enough alone.
So the blond found himself face to face with the model, soberly dressed and accompanied by the inevitable dark glasses to hide his image a few fans around.
did not seem at all friendly to avoid a few hours in his company, but that sense of discomfort accompanied him like a shadow. Alone with her.
"Shirogane .." Here. To begin with calling him by last name, as if to emphasize a separation between them. ".. Do you mind if we stop at a bar? I skipped lunch today but I want to make an exception to the rule. "
" For me no problem "
Fiuu .. At least even gave her reluctance to spend some 'time in his company. What a relief.
"Good. Any one should be on the first floor I think. "
" Ok, you make your way. "
gallantry Cha .. But oh well you were not doing a bit 'too much paranoia? Mica was a romantic date .. He had to stay calm.
At the bar Ryou was still fretting if she was offering or whether the case could Zakuro blame. She finally decided to venture. After all he was doing it in good faith. He approached the cashier and, with apparent disregard of the look of the model at his side turned in a friendly tone to the cashier.
"An espresso and what takes the young lady."
"One hot chocolate to take away with." She added, removing his dark glasses and put them away in the little black bag. Then nearer the blond whispered "Thank you."
His cobalt eyes so close were even more magnetic and soft pink lips seemed to him so ..
Damn you Ryou, but what are you thinking ..
While strolling along the second floor sipping their drinks, people watching them, and with dreamy eyes, who looks with envy. Passed by a girl who has had more or less the same age as Ichigo said to 'friend
"Look at them straight out of a film of beautiful and damned"
"You're right .. Certainly blessed her .. He must be a stranger .. "
And while a young Zakuro eyes in ecstasy, unaware that he approached a nearby shop window.
effect could not deny that they were really aesthetically beautiful together. But it was not certain that a valid excuse for a serious relationship ..
"Shirogane .." The voice she turned away from those thoughts, "Do you like Christmas?"
Oh dear .. What a question. Christmas. Not celebrated for years ... But there was no need to resign to mull over the past years. That was a simple question of fact is not it? It took was a you or a no ..
"I do not know .. Zakuro"
The model merely to observe it and then enter the store who was watching before. It was an antique shop. Unusual in a shopping mall.
An elderly woman and the sight of tiny Zakuro lit up, marking his wrinkled face with a broad smile.
"E 'come this year too young lady."
He had caught the tone, as if he already knew in advance of his arrival. Then, shifting his gaze on Ryou ended " Only this time in the company. "
The girl he just pick up a porcelain doll, Victorian style, with long blond curls and blue eyes, hand-painted detail.
"We arrived at 'eighth Christmas."
The old woman took over the small object wrapped for good and went to the wooden bar.
Ryou could not understand the exchange of words and silences.
After the payment, the dealer concluded, "We hope that this' years will be able to fill it. Miss Merry Christmas. "And with that cast a glance at the blond pretty confused ..
"to her lady, the next year."
a good half hour to an awkward silence fell between the two, also caused by the fact that two sellers of a perfumery dressed Christmas they had stopped mistaking them for a couple, Unwilling to give small samples of perfume.
"the first lady have always been a bit 'to the heart .." began Zakuro always looking ahead, "Every Christmas, since I came to Japan I went there and bought a porcelain doll. It 'something I had taught one of my relatives bought that I loved so much. With him I did not have to suffer the loneliness that I caused my own. Then .. "
The items that until then had been handed down with care died in her throat. But repeatedly banging the lids, filming
"Well, the fact is that he loved Christmas." Revive the child in him and for the two birth that I could spend in his company bought me two dolls Similar to this, fill each with sentences of a Latin letter, Seneca, you know, he was an expert in this field .. However he said that every Christmas was to be lived with meaning and only if there was a doll that had to be filled. When he died dolls that followed all empty because I have not found a way to justify to offer him. "
Ryou was impressed by his words. The loneliness that Zakuro had tried the depth with which he saw things, and flattered, because that Christmas Eve had confided in him.
This time he did not hesitate. Do not wavered in front of that wall that had collapsed by now.
She wrapped her arms around her slender body as she felt at that moment to do so. Its fragrance will intoxicate the senses and drew her to him and feel the warmth of his body after a moment of surprise relaxed.
"I hope you will give a sense of this Christmas Zakuro. Now you've made sense to me. "
She trembled at the words that echoed in his strong powerful head, and, raising his arms trembling involuntarily returned the hug.
"Yes Ryou. "
Since that day, Victorian dolls were always filled, because the magic of Christmas to the end, lies within each of us.
The next morning I come early to the field of training where - theoretically - should expect our new master.
I say theoretically because the new sensei should have been here at least half an hour ago.
But apparently they are the only one that has set itself the problem, since Sasuke-kun is patiently polishing his kunai and Naruto ... well, he has not yet submitted. I sit on the floor with your legs crossed, looking mentally to summarize all the rules I learned at the academy ... you never know! From time to time cast a look on Sasuke-kun, which takes - obviously - staring at the kunai ... what will be more interesting than me that piece of metal? Ugh.
A sudden shouting distracts me, and turn my head towards the source of the noise. After the identification of 'the thing ' which is approaching dangerously close to me, I lift my eyes the sky, snorting.
possible that Naruto does not know the meaning of the word 'normal'? Sometimes it behaves just like a miniature tornado, sweeping away everything and everyone with his impetuosity.
That to me from their discomfort, if you want to know.
"What have you done so far, baka?"
bored I turn to the head warm, although it is here that a couple of seconds, has already found a way to pounce to my beautiful Sasuke-kun, involving him in a kind of battle.
"Sakura-chan!" He turns suddenly toward me, I was not even a Martian green and purple.
"So?" My voice went from annoyed to exasperated.
"So what?" He scratched his head, confused.
"But if you asked me if I'm free for a date ... well, count on me!"
Now. I swear. Che. Lo. Kill. Without even counting to ten.
"Baka!" I warn,, rising abruptly. "How do you think these co-"
A puff of smoke interrupts me, comparing me to death-sentenced-to-some called Uzumaki Naruto.
"What happened?" I ask, bewildered.
Nobody, of course, he replies: Naruto is too busy staring at that strange gray smoke, and even Sasuke has distracted attention from his arms.
But probably he is too shocked to give me a coherent answer.
"Hey!"
Suddenly a man comes from that kind of mist, waving a hand.
I watch him quickly: silver hair, face half-hidden by a blue mask, smile ... and mentioned a copy of 'Icha Icha Paradise ' open in one hand?
No, I have seen bad behavior ... is not worthy of a sensei ... no?
he is concerned, remained icy.
Do not tell me what will be our sempai ...
~ ≈ ~ ≈ ~ ≈ ~ ≈ ~
"So ... tell me about a bit 'of you. After all ... we will be a team for a long time ... "
What a moment ago it was presented as Kakashi-sensei closes with a bang the little book in his hand, and-finally-draws his attention on us.
"Who will start?" Ok, 'start' to count: one, two, ...
"I, I! Sensei before me! "
Here, I knew. Who is the first woman? Those who never get noticed? That Cable Guy Naruto, of course. Clench their fists, although in reality they are not even bothered by this behavior: give me security, in fact. That is to say Naruto ... I understand correctly, I always manage to guess what is going to do, and this reassures me, although I do not know why. With him I know how to behave, and I never feel inferior. With Sasuke-kun ... well, that's another story.
Meanwhile the rowdy started talking ... and I am just curious.
"I am Naruto Uzumaki and I will be the largest ... ninja in this village! "
But ... tip top! I smile, thinking of his great and childhood dream.
And I realize I have remained silent, brooding on my , dreams, all while waiting for a response from me.
"Sakura-chan?" Naruto shakes me gently by the arm, drew my attention.
"What?" Hiss in reply, annoyed.
"Um ... I think ... it's your turn!" I whispered, pointing with a nod of the questioning looks pissed off and Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke-kun.
I shake myself, alarmed.
chuckled, breaking the silence that is created.
"Er ..." I smile in the direction of the master [of Sasuke-kun, in truth].
"I'm Sakura Haruno and ... I ..."
"Yes?" I kindly asked my new sensei .
"To become a good ninja, I think." I conclude, embarrassed.
"More Sakura-chan! You will be an excellent ninja! "Scream Naruto, hugging momentum.
free me from those arms warm in a hurry, responding acid:
"Shut up, baka . I do not care about being 'the most great ninja of the leaf ', I just live a normal life ... find the right guy for me, get married and have a baby. I have no delusions of grandeur, I will. Nor want to small children. "
How the hell you can say for me what I want or do not want to be?
Apart from the fact that I have no idea ... but even I will still be my business! And Sasuke-kun, after we get married ...
What is appropriate to break at that time his usual silence.
"Tsk. You say much to him ... but ... you're just a child. "
I look at him, shocked. But I recomposed in a moment, trying to hold back the tears starting to burn the corners of the eyes. I do not want to see how much is bad for your words.
"How dare you?" Naruto leaps forward, grabbing Sasuke by the collar.
"Leave him alone ..." taking the floor, pulling his orange jersey, and he turns around, looking, and finally gave in to my words, leaving Sasuke's neck.
"Nh ... why would you do?" We stopped at this point the sensei, raising an eyebrow.
Sasuke-kun looks at him, but before he can open his mouth, a pathetic falsetto voice precedes him.
"Oh yes ... I revenge and return to the past glories my clan and kill those who know me.
Spare us the little phrase, is concerned. The all already know by heart. "
It ends with a tongue. Pathetic. Really child.
But Sasuke-kun does not seem to have heard, or more likely ignored the bad imitation, because the eyes slowly rises, piercing eyes with Kakashi-sensei.
"I? I am an avenger. "

'Ah .. nh & rsquo ... ; I'm exhausted. Literally destroyed. Bulging, massacred ... Feel free to use that word choice. But no one could now describe exactly, well, if I imagined hot, with the breath, rivulets of sweat I drip hairline, make-up (light, not like that of Ino, Tze) practically disappeared, the heart pounding and his clothes all wrinkled ... well, there's very wrong.
Serving Ino. How-ever, among other things, I add acid. Since she got into her head to be able to compete with me for the attention of Sasuke has become increasingly unbearable. And so, in order to get first in class, to get the coveted spot next to my Sasuke-kun, I had to run like mad, I was not even in-a-true mission ... oh well, right now is ; best to try to make presentable.
I look at quell'arpia known disappointment and his uniform impeccable.
As on my nerves its prissy air ... and then I do not care and go into the classroom.
That place will be mine, it's the last thing I do.
So ... breathe, Sakura, breathe. Calmly, react ...
'Whaaaa !!!!!!!!!' shake their fists, causing the arms to the sky ...
' I can not believe, are team with Sasuke-kun! If this is not destiny ... now we know better, I appreciate more and more, we will start dating and get married when we both jonin! 'I nod, happy.
And I do not care to be almost finished with a team that baka Naruto boring. Which, incidentally, is staring at me for at least half an hour with foaming at the mouth. I raise an eyebrow, pretending indifference. Who wants someone like me to?
I ride all the way to Sasuke-kun, her back to him. I inhale deeply.
"Sasuke-kun! Are you happy to be on my team? Yes, I know ... there is also Naruto with us, but we could easily ignore it! That's nice ... I still do not seem real ... we are a team together! Of course this means that now we're friends, but friends for life, you know? Because we're teammates, we will address all the missions together, the problems ... do not worry, I'll not be in the way, if you want me train with you ... "
are still there to speak when I notice with dismay that he stood up and walked away, without even saying goodbye. Barely asked me a look, then strode out to the door. I bite my lip, shut up instantly.
"Take it, Sakura-chan! I am pleased to be teaming up with you ... why do not we have to train together? I do not think you're boring! I will not ever go if you were talking about ... "
I turn around, annoyed. I try to hold back the tears and lightning with a dirty look.
"She 'Shut up. You and I are not friends, you know? We just stumbled on the team together, for - I am convinced - a stupid mistake the teacher Iruka. So, do not turn to me as if I knew for years, you know? If Sasuke-kun is gone, there must surely be a good reason! Baka! "
And I go, leaving him alone on the old swing.
giving me the stupid, for treating him worse than Sasuke has done to me, but too proud to go back and admit it.
'There will be time later to apologize ...'
Without knowing how many other bad things I would have had to suffer, with my stupid and childish behavior .
Without know that his smile would be my first real friend, from the day after.

"Sakura! Wake up, treasure ... today's the day! "
A thin ray of light tickles my eyes, lazy filtering through the curtains which, apparently, my mother has not yet been able to open wide. On the other hand, however, will be at least ten minutes I yelled in his ear.
Something like 'the big day' and 'academic'. Obviously I do not understand what it alludes, but do not waste breath to seek guidance. I turn around, stifling a yawn in the pillow, to find a more comfortable position.
I try to focus, think of the beautiful dream that the arrival of the wretched of my mother interrupted. Where was I? Ah yes, now I remember. Sasuke-kun and I were walking hand in hand for the feast of Kodomo no hi mmm ... that's great, the my Sasuke-kun!
"Sakura Haruno, if you do not immediately wake up I'll have to put you in detention!"
I pretend do not feel anything, although now the wonderful illusion of my dream has vanished.
Serro his eyes, determined not to see even the slightest ray of sunshine and stop praying mentally break the boxes, vanishing.
"So ..." Hope useless. "Unfortunately, this means that only Ino will be the division of the new team!"
What? Wait a second ... that day is today? Suddenly I opened my eyes, paralyzed from the last sentence that I came to the ears and finally - - the brain.
"Today we are the divisions? And waiting to tell me!? "
Imbufalita as never before, I do not feel even the annoying little voice that accuses me, I grab the clothes I had prudently put aside the past and I sling bathroom.
"Darling, you look down for breakfast! Hurry! "
Not worthy of an answer, because I have more important things to do ... like give me a quick shower, comb your hair with care and polishing my beautiful (and new) front cover.
And half an hour later I'm in a hurry in the kitchen to gobble a brioche filled with chocolate, frantically keeping an eye on the hour.
greet all and go out, breathing large puffs of the brisk morning air.
'What a beautiful day ...' The warm rays of the sun caressing my face, warming my skin a little clearer.
Strange, but today all I get better looking, more radiant. I think today I would be willing even to 'healthy ' the baka, both are in a good mood ...
turn our eyes to blue sky that spreads all over my head, with thoughts that go a thousand.
"Today will be a new beginning ...." I say to myself, greeting with a nod to younger children who look at me with envy, under cover my face with the their chubby little hands. I shook my head, laughing softly, and I applied under the window of Ino.
'Yes Today is the beginning of everything. '
And I have no idea how true these few words.
