Tasukie ventures off into a deep, white forest of frozen, fallen leaves with icy rose buds sprinkled with frost... Following her, her trusted companion, Luna, and her dark shadow that runs behind her. Tasukie soon receives the image of a tall weeping willow, and it seems to be hollow. She inspects the great willow with fascination and finds herself lingering deeper inside the tree. Tasukie spots what seems to be.. a dragon egg, spotted with ivy green luster. She cradles the precious treasure and dashes away, vanishing....
Tasukie, Luna, and the unhatched egg went off farther in their journey. Waters were frozen over but ice was dangerously thin, so Tasukie and her followers carefully walked upon the icy path. *thud* .. Thick, red liquid trickled across the ice.. Tasukie was badly injured from her harsh fall. The winds were getting colder, and so was Tasukie and Luna. Tasukie used her body heat to protect the unborn dragon from the harsh climates that awaited them.., but she needs to find some wood to make a fire.. The sky wouldn't give any moon light and the stars played hide-and-seek in the starless atmosphere above. So they slumbered in the pitch black darkness that was surrounding them.. With no heat to give them warmth, Tasukie, Luna, and the egg awaited in the shadow world they arrived in, waiting until dawn exposed itself....
*crackle*... *crack*!.... Tasukie sprang up. Lying in her arms.. was a just hatched baby dragon, fidgeting and squirming around. The soft, bright green dragon stared up at Tasukie with interest, touching her cheek with his claw. Tasukie smiled and cradled the infant dragon close. She was to call this small, courageous dragon Honora. It was day break, and Tasukie, Luna, and Honora moved on ward. They reached the sand village, Tasukie's home that she desperately ran away from. She had to disguise herself in order not to be seen by her fellow villagers. Black ink was applied in her hair to cover the garnet red color. She slipped on a black coat, black polo shirt, black slacks, black boots, tied a black tie around her neck, and placed a black, red feathered, hat upon her head. Tasukie was unrecognizable. To the people in the village, she was a stranger amongst all. *bump*... Tasukie was once again falling down to the rough surface. A hand was lifting her up. Tasukie glanced up and was gazing at a handsome boy. He was about the same age as her, had gorgeous, shoulder-length, pitch-black colored hair that brushed against his face. Was dressed casual; had on black slacks, a red long-sleeved shirt, and muddy black sandals. His deep, purple eyes watched her every move as she got up. He smiled, "Are you okay?" he asked sweetly. "Oh, I'm fine." replied Tasukie, lowering her head to hide her blushing expression of embarrassment. "By the way, my name is Fidelis Grenthor, but you can just call me Grenth." he mentioned. Tasukie answered, "Well Grenth, my name is Tasukie Honoro, and you can just call me Tasukie"....
Tasukie, Luna, and Honora headed off towards a deep wooded area. *huff* *huff*.. Grenth was racing up to the group. "Where are you heading off to?" he asked, though short out of breath. "We're going to the Village Hidden in the Leaves.. Why do you ask?" Tasukie replied. Immediately Grenth said "Oh, well.. I was heading that way myself.. May I join you on your travel there?". He showed a blushing expression as he looked upon Tasukie. Tasukie wasn't sure if she could trust Grenth. Besides, she only met him just only awhile ago. To Tasukie, this Grenth character was nothing but a stranger. But she realized that she, also, was a stranger herself.. well, was trying to be at least. Grenth expressed a warm smile. They continued their way towards the woods. The light from outside the forest was vanishing and the only light they had was a torch Grenth made. Unexplainable eyes appeared to Tasukie, though no one else saw the red and yellow diamonds, glittering in the darkness around them. Suddenly, noises of movement were heard. The sounds were coming closer and a hand was placed on Tasukie's shoulder. She jumped up, only to find out it was Grenth. "Stay close to me." he whispered to her. His lips barely touched her pale, perked up ear. Tasukie held onto his strong, muscular arm like there was no tomorrow. She could see a faint smile that Grenth was giving her. "Sqweeeeeek!".. A cry was heard, echoing within the woods. Then Tasukie noticed something.., Luna was missing! There was a sticky solution on the surface.. It was blood. Tasukie looked down to find that her trusted companion, Luna, had been shot with an arrow. The sound of movement was getting closer. Tasukie knew that there was no time to cry.. no time for sobbing, only just to run, run as fast as she could. She grabbed Honora and they fled, far away. But Grenth was still back there, she had to go back and get him, but she didn't want to end up in a dying fate. Tasukie ran back, with all her might. Even though she barely knew Grenth, she unexpectedly seemed to really care for him. When Tasukie finally got back, Grenth was gone. *thump*.. Everything went dark. Nothing was to be seen or heard. Cold, numbness was felt all around, and slumber was the only act that had been made....
NEW!!!"Wha-Where am I?" Tasukie spoke, speechless of her new surrounding. The area around her had a calm, let casual feel to it. She guessed the room she was in was a small, plain bedroom from the cream color walls and the vintage furniture with a ivy design on it. Tears suddenly began to stream from her eyes. The memories of her companion, Luna, repeatedly flashed before her, showing weakness and solitude. She couldn't face the fact that Luna was gone, her old friend.. vanished from her side. *knock, knock*.. Tasukie quickly wiped away her tears from her damp cheeks as the door slowly opened. Grenth stood before her in a solemn manner, holding freshly picked daisies and a corny 'Get Well' card. "That was a nasty fall you had.. You feeling any better?" he asked, showing a concerned and loving look upon his handsome face..."Don't worry, I'm fine.." replied Tasukie, hiding her red cheeks. Tasukie, Honora, and Grenth continued their mission to get to the Village Hidden in the Leaves,.. or the Leaf Village you can say. "We're almost there,... just about 20 minutes away" Grenth announced,.. though Tasukie already knew. Out of nowhere, a cry was heard, echoing through the wooded area. A girl was scene beyond them, not much older than Grenth, was being attacked by what looked to be a giant, bear-like creature. As always.. Grenth jumped in and saved the day... well,.. just a average girl. Grenth held the unknown girl's hand. "What's your name-" he asked as Tasukie pushed him and rudely interrupted "Yeah, and where did you come from?", giving Grenth an annoyed look. "Oh... Well.. my name is Mizuki Yuki,.. but most people just call me Miki.." Tasukie posed in a blocking position, staring at Miki's now visible head band, sporting a music note print on the front of it. As the memories of the slaughter of Tasukie's parents continued to get stronger, the hate for this newly met girl built up inside of her, showing itself as anger and rage for the monstrous sound ninja that killed her beloved family. The color of Tasukie's eyes turned from a dull emerald to a blazing blood red. Claws formed from the tips of her fingers and fangs poked out from her mouth, leaning against her plump, peach bottom lip. Tasukie smirked towards Miki, laughing to herself.. showing her blood taunted fangs. At this time... both Grenth and Miki were scared to death, wondering what would happen next. Suddenly, Tasukie runs at Miki with full force, jumping with all her might for an aerial attack. "Aaaahhh!"... And the whole world went dead silent....
