Little facts for you guys: The image I found online which I used for the character Sakura on my book cover is actually fan art of the character Lightning from Final fantasy XIII (I personally didn't know this) also I based Chiyo's looks like Ultear when she turned into an old woman on Fairy tail (just a bit more of a chubbier face). Okay facts over!

Everything was quiet as the earth started to rest in the gradually growing darkness of the night. Rikuo and Yuki had been reading books quietly to pass the time until they knew Sakura and Chiyo were asleep. Thats when they made there move to go outside.

Rikuo remained awfully quiet as they reach there desired place deep inside the nearby forest outside. There stood in its beauty an old Cherry blossom tree, it had fully bloomed. The wind blew softly rustling the trees branches making them drop pale pink petals to the ground.

Rikuo could already feel his blood boil under the moon, he turned to Yuki

"I guess I will see you in the morning then" Rikuo sighs walks closer to the tree.

"I will always be seeing you no matter how you are you are the same" Yuki smiles

Rikuo smiles, Cherry blossom petals surround his legs as he floats up to the tree giving the illusion the petals were making him float and then in a matter of seconds a man with the same clothes as Rikuo but with white hair with black streaks in the white came down from the tree and landed gracefully on the grass below him. Rikuo's night form...

Rikuo looked up, his red eyes glowing in the night.

"Lets go hunt some demons shall we?" Rikuo says with his new voice.

Yuki nods slowly, "Yes young master"

The trees blow and whistle under the full moon.

- In the morning -

Sakura turns around on her bed, the suns rays had broken threw the blinds and got into her eyes. She grumbles and curses the sun quietly for disturbing her sleep.

Grabbing her clothes and sword and putting them back on she walked downstairs looking like a train wreck with her messy hair. Chatter could be heard downstairs along with the noises of plates being set on a table.

"Good morning Sakura" Chiyo says smiling at her, "Come sit down I just made breakfast"

"Thank you but first I need a hairbrush" Sakura laughs awkwardly pointing at her puffy hair, she then notices Yuki and Rikuo sitting at the table eating.

"Hey guys" Sakura says looking over to them, "Hey!" Yuki says happily, Rikuo just replies simply with a hello.

"There is a spare hairbrush in the bathroom i'm sure you can find it" Chiyo says and sits down at the table, "Thank you" Sakura says running quickly to the stairs but stops herself "Maybe I wont run up the stairs" she laughs blushing awkwardly and walks up the stairs.

Looking around she finds the bathroom door open and sees a hairbrush on top of a sink counter, walking in and grabbing it she looks up at the mirrored cupboards on the wall in front of her. She gasps looking at her reflection, "So that's what I look like!".

Turning her head to see all angles of herself she makes notes to herself of her appearance, slender face, blue eyes, fair skin without freckles or spots, neat eyebrows, long eyelashes, full looking lips, long slim nose and no wrinkles. She also had a long fringe (she had come to notice it was there considering the amount of times she had to move it away from her eyes).

Overall she looked beautiful she even made herself blush, "I must be around the age of 20" she said running her hands down her face.

Putting the brush threw her long pink hair she slayed all the knots in a short amount of time. Looking up at the mirror again she checked out her hair. She moved her fringe away from her eyes, "There must be some hair clips or something to hold my hair back" she mumbles looking around.

"Ah hah!" she says (Que the Legend of Zelda chest sound effect) grabbing some hair pins from the cuboard and holding them in the air.

"Where the hell did that sound come from?" she says looking around the bathroom but shrugs it off.

Looking at her reflection for the last time she pins her fringe back, Sakura smiles "I think I look pretty good".

"Come on Sakura breakfast is getting cold!" Chiyo shouts from downtairs.

"I'm coming!" Sakura shouts coming down the stairs and sitting in a seat at the table.

"Pick whatever you want to eat" Chiyo says

"Thank you" Sakura says, she looks at all the different choices she could have, waffles, pancakes, egg and bacon, In the end she just chose buttered toast with orange juice and a bowl of fruit.

After Sakura finished eating she had come to notice how tired Rikuo and Yuki looked, "How late were you two up for?" Sakura asks curious.

"We were kept awake by the wolves in the forest" Yuki and Rikuo lied.

Sakura raised a brow but didn't want to cause an argument so she just pretended to believe them. "I guess you should put toilet roll in your ears" Sakura joked.

Yuki and Rikuo smiled 'Glad we got her off our case' they both thought.

Chiyo interrupted the conversation "Could you help me with some chores today?" she says looking over to her laundry on a washing line outside.

Sakura, Yuki and Rikuo sweat drop, "sure" they all said

"Thank you, I hope you don't mind but I think you need to remember i'm the one who let you stay in my house" Chiyo says with a grin.

"Well you better get started then!" she adds hurrying them outside.
