Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Sakura

A place filled with night and darkness. This eerie felling envelop every little places of this tiny land. The fog is become a borderline around a hill with only one giant cherry blossom.

There is a person, I couldn't figure out what he is. I can't see his face nor anything about him. He is just a black human like creature, but somehow familiar.

He spoked to me

"Elizabeth wake up, hey Elizabeth you have to wake up"

After this he crumble to nothing.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaagh"

A loud scream from a woman. She is Sakura, the first main character. She sit up from her bed, strenched with sweat, a horryfied look in her face. Slowly moving her hands. She look it blanky at her two palm of her hand. Then she hide her face with her two palm.

After some time she calmed herself enought to ne able to start her day.

"Eeeuggggh. Another one of this nightmare."

She opened her drawer. The looks of her clothes would tell to anyone she is tomboy for a certain extent. There isn't any frilly clothes, skirt. Not even any of those fancy dresses. just shortpants, blouse, shirt. The kind of clothes what you coud say be "cool".

One of her precious piece of clothes is there too. Her hat, a red beany like hat with two horn like thing on the top of it.

"Yaaaaaawwwwnnn"

Looks like she calmed down completly. But she doesn't get two much of a sleep.

She walked too the mirror. Looking at herself.

"Oooh crap. i have huge black circle around my eyes. I couldn't sleep a while because of it. That something. Uuueghh. Who the hell is Elizabeth. Not me, i'm sure of it."

In the mirror there is a beautyful girl. A cute face, if she doesn't suffer from lack of sleep.

a long pink hair which reached her back half way, of course her hair was naturally pink. There is only one part of his bangs was painted to a purple color. She was a beauty around the city. Despite how her has a natural beauty and a very girlish hair, she don't like wearing cute clothes, being someone who cutesy.

She made her hair in a side ponytail. A slightly grey colored blouse with green vest with laces. A brown short and some shoes. Not forgeting the important part, her hat.

Now she heading to the basement. To start her job, Bounty hunting.

Stepped outside of the room. Walked throught in the hallways till she arrived at to the stairs. In the corridor there are 3 room each side, total 6 room which can give a nice and cozy living place for adventures, travelling merchant.

The groundfloor is an restaurant, with a desk for the recepcionist. There is a kitchen too. Basicly this is a tavern. Daigris inn&tavern, this building is a multifunctional, by the owner.

Yokarin the owner of the Daigris inn&tavern, boss of one of the trading hauls in Forrest valley and boss of the bounty hunters.

She was a tall beauty. Long straigh purple hair. Her hairstyle was a typical Shrine maiden hair cut. She wear a kimono, a yellow-oragne with flowers. Her eyes was a strong green. Like an emerald.

As she goes down to the main floor, she saw her boss. She was standing in behind of recepcionist desk. Like she was the one in charge of being the recepcionist.

"Good morning Sakura. How was your sleep?"

Yokarin greeted Sakura in a kindly manner. For Sakura it was bit weird. Normally Yokarin not so much of the kind person, atleast to Sakura.

"Ugggh, maybe i am sleeping now and the wake up is never happened"

Sakura's though escaped to the reality. This was only her though, but what she doesn't realize. She sayed out loud these lines.

*smack*

"Ouch"

Sakura was looking around who's hit her head.

"Who did it!"

"Atleast that will wake you up. Now do you want to stay there or you would like to eat something for breakfast"

Yokarin was still behind the desk, like she doesn't moved any. But after what Yokarin sayed to her Sakura knowed who was the culprit of that smack on her head. Yokarin herself.

She was mysterious, because no one of the people of the Alderans race dare to tease her or say badmouth her. There is only two exception existed. The one's who didn't know her and the other is a very few people who could teased her, and survived it. One of this was Sakura.

Sakura walked to the desk. Her head was still hurt, there was no scar or any severe, just the pain.

"Now your awake...., What happend to your face. You have really big black circles around your eyes."

Yokarin was suprised, mostly by how Sakura's sleepy face looked looked more like creature what one of her friend told her, a "panda". She didn't know what was that creature. The tale what she hear is a four legged animal. A bear which was black and white colored.

She take a look at Sakura's face, again. The thought of the panda face and Sakura's sleep depprived face are almost same didn't want to leave her.

"Bwuuuhahahahaha"

"What? What that so funny? Hey, Yokarin. Hey What is so funny?"

Sakura was confused by the sudden laught.

"Sorry Sakura, bit your face now look like a panda's face."

"Panda, what?"

Sakura don't know what is that animal what Yokarin is sayed. No one knowed what was a panda. No one seen one. Because they are extinct by thousand years ago.

"Draco told me a story once. A tale of bunch of cool and beautiful animal and creatures. It sounded as a fairy tale"

"Because THAT was a fairy tail. Not a single animal exist what was in draco's tale."

They conversation continuned to a certain point.

"Now, back to bussiness. Can you pay the room an food?"

"Yes, it is still 20 silver coin for the room?"

"The 20 silver coin is a room in the bounty hunt wing, You are in the guest in which is a gold coin atleast."

"Haaah!? Why? I thought i only need to pay the 20 silver one. I am your bounty hunter as well, so why i need to pay one gold."

"Sakura, you wanted that room. because it is big and spacious. So you can pay?

"Yeah, but only the room. I only have two gold coin."

"That will be enough for two days."

Yokarin snatched those gold coins. Whit these Sakura was coinless. If she doesn't get a bunch of money the living will be hard on her.

"Yokarin, is there a work that i can take?"

Yokarin was smiling and overjoy when she heard this. She walked to a wardrobe, took out one cloth. That cloth was a frilly black and white one pieced cloth with a skirt ending. It was, of course a french maid outfit.

Yokarin was still smiling.

She get back to the desk and showed the clothes to Sakura.

"Hell no."

Sakura instant reply to the maid outfit. Yokarin isn't said anything, yet.

"Why?"

"I said no, i don't want to wear that and i won't be your maid. I don't want to be a maid who goes by and say 'hello master' and such thing to the guest. No! Not in hell!"

"Ooooh it is sad."

"Yokarin can you give me some BOUNTY HUNTING job."

"Yes, there are some"

She gave the wanted papers to Sakura.

"But these are just 30-50 silver coins each. If i want to live AND eat i need to catch all of them by today. Isn't there one with more bounty?"

"Sakura those jobs wouldn't be fine for you"

"No! they will."

Yokarin thought about what to do. She take a look under the desk, there are the bountys which are highly paying but extremly hards.

In Yokarin's mind one idea jumped.

Took one of the paper and gave it to Sakura.

"Here is the one you would like. The five sealed man, no one knowes how he look like. Just that he is a man and he is in tha race of Foxlits. The reward is 120 platinum coin."

Sakura blankly gazing the paper. Her only thougth at that time.

"120 platinum. That is 120.000 gold coin"

Without thinking to much of it.

"I will gladly like it. With that i can live without working myself to dead. Or even i can buyed that golden ticket of this inn."

"Wait if you buy a golden ticket that would mean i would be falling to bankrupt. Especially if we think about how much you eat."

"I don't eat that much ~"

Yokarin don't answer for this, just making a 'oh really' look.

"hehehe"

Sakura seeing that, giving a faint small laugh.

"Okay, i'm out"

With this, Sakura started her journey for her 120 platinum coin.

Somewhere in the Halion region.

"No! I swear i didn't wanted to hunt the cursed fox. My job was to find the fived sealed man."

A man begging for his life. Other side is an elemental creature, not any of it. A Guardian. Those creature who are greatly fear even in th e Royal species.

Jaygold, Dragon of Chaos.

He was on his second form. Which is a half human half dragon. Purple scales dotted around his body. A long cape with the sign of the chaos. A chain hanging on the belt of his trousers.

"You fool, No one explained to you that those two are one person. Hahaha. Now you know how thing are going. Anyone who try to kill the cursed fox, the have to duel me. Now this is your turn"

"No i begging you, please spare me!!"

But that was useless for him. Jaygold started to chant a spell.

"Dragon feather"

A high speed bullet pierced the man hearth. It.. was an instat death.
