I Was Once A Normal Girl
By Jess-chan

Prologue: A Girl from Earth! Aizaki Sakura's Normal Life!

I felt the sunlight enter my bedroom. It was bright; it blinded me slightly but my eyes focused on it. I opened my dark eyes and looked around my small room. Plush dolls surrounded my bed. I held my bunny doll tight. I had a strange dream, I was a princess and I was in a beautiful castle. Then an evil person entered the palace and tried to overthrow me. What a strange dream! What does it mean?

I'm sorry! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Aizaki Sakura and I live in Tokyo, Japan. I live with my parents and by sister Misato. My parents, Satoru and Kaede, are almost never home and my sister and I always have to take care of ourselves. I am 15 years old and my sister is 17. My sister is much prettier than I am. She has long midnight hair and green eyes. My body is much better than hers is. My bust size is bigger than hers is! She is so jealous of me!

"Ohayo oniisan." I said as I saw my sister exit the bathroom. "Ohayo Sakura-chan." She replied as she coldly pasted me. I frowned deeply. What a b***h! "Oh Sakura, Mama and Papa called. They are in Kyoto and they will be home for supper." Misato said. I forced myself to smile. Like as if I care. Mama and Papa treat my sister as a queen. I'm treated like a peasant. I mean my sister gets new clothes constantly while I get hand me downs.

I got into my school uniform and fixed myself breakfast. Boiled rice always makes me feel a bit better. I felt something rub against my leg. It was my cat Neko. She is a pretty white kitty and wears a blue collar. I love my kitty! Misato entered the kitchen. She fixed her eyes on my food. "Is that all you're gonna have? You know by 5th period your gonna be super hungry and gonna nag me for some of my lunch in the hallway!" She said as she crossed her arms.

I frowned again. My sister is such a B-I-T-C-H! I sat up and put my bowl in the sink. I put my shoes on and grabbed my bag. "Matte niisan!" Misato shouted before I touched the doorknob. My sister and I go to the same school. Luckily for me that my best friend Nanagomi Ryoko, was in my classes. She had dark purple hair and gray eyes. My hair is much lighter than hers is; mine is sorta like lavender and my eyes are brown.

Patiently I waited for my sister and we walked out the door. Misato was waiting to meet up her muscle bound boyfriend Takeuchi Akira. He is sorta cute and all but all he cares about is being on the wrestling team, sports and pretty girls. He loves my sister but he flirts with other girls behind her back. What an not a very nice person!

Well I have a boyfriend myself. He is the most adorable boy in the school. His name is Masaki Yugi. He has short blond hair and sky blue eyes. He has a kiss that can make a girl melt into him. I've been dating him since I entered high school and that was last year. I love him! I will do anything for him, but not sleep with him. I'm too young to lose my virginity.

"Sakura-chan!" A voice cried out. I turned to see Ryoko running down the street. "Ohayo Ryoko-chan!" I shouted as the girl pounced on me. Ryoko's a nice girl and all but I think she's a bit obsessed with me. I felt her arms go around my waist. "Oh Sakura-chan I missed you! I hate it when you're not around. Why weren't you at chorus?" She asked. "I had a sore throat." I replied.

I am in the choir at my school along with Ryoko and few other girls I know. Miki Mizuha and Takashi Mayuka, the most popular girls in school and my sister's best friends are in the chorus too. I think Mizuha tries to compete with me. I mean, that whenever I get a solo, she tries to get my position. Damn her.

"Oh my. I could have given you a Sucrets." Ryoko said as she dug into her pocket and took out a cough drop and placed it in my hand. "Arigato." I said as I smiled. "Sakura-chan! Ryoko-san! Come on! We'll be late and I don't wanna hear Mama and Papa!" Misato said as she yanked our arms, pulling us in the direction of school.

"Yeah right! Mama will yell at me and Papa will ground me not you. You always get off easy with a warning." I said as Misato stopped dragging us. Misato let go of us and looked at me. "You're just jealous that I'm the oldest and I get more attention!" She said as she stomped away.

Ryoko looked at me, bewildered. "Um what was that about?" She innocently asked. "Ryoko-chan you're lucky that you are an only child!" I said as I patted her shoulder. "Sakura-chan." She said under her breath.

As we entered school grounds, I looked around the building for Yugi. "I wonder where Yugi-kun is?" I said. Ryoko blushed. "It's so cute that you have a boyfriend." She said. I honestly think Ryoko's weird. I continued to search until I saw my man! "YUGI-KUN!" I shouted. He turned around and smiled. I love his smile.

He left his friends just to talk to me! He's so sweet. When he approached me, Ryoko smartly moved away. "Konnichiwa Sakura-chan." Yugi said as he planted a kiss on my cheek. I felt my face get warmer. "Ohayo Yugi-kun." I shyly said as he put his arms around me.

"Sakura-chan I missed you, you didn't call me. What was wrong?" He asked, concerned. "I had a slight cold, but now I feel great!" I said as I buried my face into his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

"Glad to here it." He placed a kiss on my head. We heard the bell for class ring. Reluctantly I loosened my grip on Yugi. He took my hand. "I'll walk you to class." He said as he started to walk. "Ryoko-chan! Hurry we can't be late!" I shouted to the purple haired girl, who was talking with other girl. I looked behind me to see her running after us.

I noticed that Misato was hanging out with Mizuha, Mayuka and Akira in the parking lot. Obviously my sister isn't a fan of school. She'd rather hang with her friends. I played hooky once and Misato squealed on me. Mama and Papa, of course, took her side and grounded me for a month! At least Yugi and Ryoko would sneak over to cheer me up.

I noticed that Misato had a cigarette in her hand. Mama and Papa would murder her if they found out she smokes. She made me promise her not to tell our parents about too many things. A few examples are when she thought she was pregnant after she slept with Akira, when she started to smoke and when she cut class to get some beer for this party. I outta squeal on her for all the times I had to bail her out of trouble. I smirked at the thought.

After school Ryoko, Yugi and me decided to go to the park since it was a nice day. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. I smiled when I saw Ryoko race to the swings. "Look Sakura-chan! Look how high I'm going!" Ryoko giggled as the swing went higher and higher. I saw a smirk cross Yugi's lips and saw him approach the laughing Ryoko. As she got to ground level, he gave Ryoko a hard yet gentle push.

She was still laughing as she went very high up. When she realized how high she was, she started to scream. I saw the tears forming in her eyes. "YUGI YOU BASTARD! WHEN I GET OFF THIS THING, YOU'RE DEAD!" She screamed. I tried very hard not to laugh.

When Ryoko gets serious, she can be a bit violent. I learned that the hard way. I think it was last year when I pissed her off. By accident I spilled a chemical on her brand new purse in chemistry class. I swear that I saw the fires in her gentle eyes. She nearly ripped my hair off my head and tried to fight me.

Of course we both got into huge trouble and she didn't talk to me for a week. Of course being the good girl that I am, I managed to buy her the same exact purse with my allowance money.

Yugi eventually stopped pushing Ryoko. She hopped off the seat and walked up to him. I guess he saw the rage in her eyes; he backed away. "Ryoko-chan he was only playing. Don't kill him!" I said as I got off the bench and walked to them. "If he pulls a stunt like that again I will make him pay." Ryoko said as she sat on the bench.

Yugi laughed. "Ok I won't mess around with her anymore. She must have PMS." He said. I burst out laughing; I couldn't hold it in. I hoped that Ryoko wasn't looking. "Anyway at least in ten minutes, she'll be back to her cheerful self." "I hope so." "You she always does. Anyway I wanna stay on her good side."

He put his arm around my shoulder and walked me to the bench. I felt a strong breeze around me. But for a strange reason, it was only around me...

[Jess-chan]

I'm posting chapter 1!

Chapter 1: Summoned to a Strange Land! What Do They Want With Me?

The breeze was certainly strong and binding. It wasn't touching Yugi or Ryoko at all. What does it mean? I then saw a hole opening in the ground, but not on the grass. The wind turned to a green ribbon and clasped on my wrists and ankles. I tried to scream when it pulled me into the hole.

I tried to free myself from these binding chains. The ribbons released me and I landed on the ground with a hard thud. I stood up and dusted myself off. I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked around the place. Everything was so futuristic. The buildings looked like video game settings. I turned my head to see a castle totally made of crystal. It was a beautiful sight.

A girl with sugar pink hair approached me. She was a bit shorter than I was and had gold eyes. "You must be the girl the princess summoned. Let me show you to the palace." She said. She sounded like a little girl. I followed the girl to the crystal palace. "Anyway what's you're name? Mine's Misty." She said. "I'm Aizaki Sakura." I said.

We walked into the palace. Guards surrounded the place. We walked down a long hallway until we reached the last room. "Your majesty, I found the girl you summoned." Misty said as she bowed before the princess. The princess was beautiful. She had short blond hair and sparkling green eyes. She held a scepter with a large heart on it. Diamonds and another gemstones surrounded it.

"Female from another world, tell me your name." She said as she arose from the throne. I swallowed hard. "My name is Aizaki Sakura. Why I am here? Where is here?" I asked. "Let me introduce myself. I am Reina, princess of this land, Ryuzaki. I summoned you to protect this land and myself." Huh? How can I protect a princess? I don't have any powers, do I?

"But excuse me, how can I protect you?" I asked confused. "Our princess is a powerful magic user and can unleash hidden powers in people." Misty said. "Really that's amazing." I said. "I can sense strong magic in your blood. I must reveal it. I need that incredible power to protect me." Reina said as she closed her eyes.

"What is she doing now?" I whispered to Misty. "Remain still. The princes is awakening your powers." The shorter girl said. A bluish aura surrounded Reina's body. She raised her hands out and pointed them in my direction. A pinkish beam formed in her palms and fired at me.

I wasn't hurt at all. I felt a warm heat in my body, from my head to my toes. I closed my eyes to feel the strong powers. It was like nothing I've ever felt before. I feel stronger than I ever felt.

"Princess I think the process is over. I can see the aura around her tender body." Misty said. I opened my eyes to see a pink aura surrounding my body. "Don't fear it Sakura. This power will help and protect you." Reina said as she approached me. The princess was the same height as me. Her smile was warm. "Sakura I believe in you. Your powers are as pure as mine and Misty, and others in my palace. You must save us." She said.

I was bewildered again. "Save you from whom?" I asked. "Oh my I'm sorry. There is a female sorceress from an another kingdom from another land. Her name is Selene but is also known as the Cyber Lady. She is after my family's most sacred treasure, the Sword of Heart." Reina said. "The Sword of Heart?" I asked.

"It is a powerful sword that only magic users can use. There are two types of people in this land, the magic users and neutralizers. Neutralizers are more powerful than magic users. They can defeat us easily because they're powers can drain our magic powers." Misty said as she sighed deeply.

"If neutralizers remove your powers, can you die?" I asked. "Yes we can and because our magic powers make us immortal, we'd became normal mortals and never recover our magic again." A woman with green hair said as she entered the room. "Tamaki?" Misty said. "I heard that the princess summoned the female from another world. Is that you?" Tamaki asked as she approached me.

"Yes." I simply said. Tamaki chuckled. "You honestly think you can be a powerful magic user if you don't know the knowledge of its power." She said as she cupped my chin. She lifted her hand and slapped me. "If you can become strong and defeat Selene, I'll have faith in you." Tamaki said as she turned her back.

I grabbed her shoulder and pulled her close. "You have damn nerve saying that! I was summoned just today and I had no idea of this special power. I'll prove to you that I'm strong." I said. Tamaki smirked. "Little girl I'm much stronger than you'll ever dream. I'll give you a free preview!" she said as she smacked my hand off.

She did a backflip and landed in front of the throne. "THUNDER MOON DRAGON!" She shouted as a beast made of lightning emerged from her hands. "Dragon, fire at this brat!" Tamaki said as the dragon flew at me. I couldn't dodge it in time. I flew into a wall and landed on the marble floor with a hard thud. The taste of blood filled my mouth.

I stood up weakly. My uniform was torn and I had a cut on my forehead. I felt the blood race down my face. "Sakura don't fight her. She's too strong for you now." Misty shouted. I looked at the princess' aide. She was so sweet and wanted me to stop, but I can't turn down a fight. But Tamaki is too strong and defeated me with a single blow.

"Tamaki I can't fight you now. But one day we'll have a rematch." I said as I fell to the ground. Misty and Reina ran to my side. "Tamaki how could you? You know that Sakura wasn't ready to fight. She doesn't even know any spells." Reina shouted. Tamaki smirked. "Sorry princess but I don't watch over weaklings." She said as she exited the room.

Misty lifted my head. "Are you alright Sakura?" She asked. I nodded. "I'm fine. I just got a few cuts that's all." I said. I guess I have a rival. Tamaki isn't your typical nice girl. She's like my sister but with magic powers. I wonder if I'll be able to control these new strengths. I hope so...

Here's chapter 2!

Chapter 2: I Miss My Friends! I Must Start Training!

"Sakura tomorrow you will begin your magic training. By the end of the month you will be able to defend our world." Reina said. I nodded. I wondered if I'd ever see my friends, even my parents or sister again. I'll miss Ryoko and Yugi greatly. I hope I never forget them. I love them dearly.

Misty must have noticed the sadness in my face. "What's wrong? You're upset." She asked concerned. "Misty I miss my friends from my world. I wish to see them but I think improving my magic skills has to come first." I said as I balled my fist and wiped the tears from my face.

Reina turned to me. "Aizaki-san, I'll show you your room. You better get some rest. The training is extremely difficult." She said. "Follow me please." Reina showed to a room with a huge bed with yellow covers and a balcony. "It's beautiful." I said. "Please enjoy your stay. Goodnight." The princess said as she closed the door.

I flopped on the bed. I closed my eyes to see Yugi's face. I missed him so much, even if I've only seen him about 5 hours ago. I miss Ryoko too and my family. I know I'll eventually miss my sister nagging at me to keep secrets and Mama and Papa yelling at me.

I searched in my skirt pocket and pulled out my wallet. I opened it up to see one picture of my family and another of Yugi and I on our first date. I love him so much. I'll miss Ryoko's mixed feelings, I mean from being nice one minute and a little b***h the next. I laughed slightly as I drifted off.

I had a strange yet disturbing dream.

"Where am I?" I asked as I walked through a deep forest. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see Tamaki with an evil grin. "It's time for me to defeat you Sakura." She whispered into my ear. I backed away. "But...but I'm not ready!" I said. "Oh you will be once you see my lovely prisoner."

She moved out of the way to show a person tied to a tree in chains. I gasped when I learned the person's identity. It was Yugi! "Free him please!" I cried. Tamaki smirked. "I see this man is your true weakness. Maybe if I kill him..." Tamaki said as she got out a knife and held it to his throat.

My eyes filled with tears. "Please spare him! I love him!" I cried as I fell to my knees. Tamaki dropped the knife. "Well I'm so right. His boy is your weakness. If you can't fight me, there's no way you can defeat my master Lady Selene." She said. "You work for Selene? Why? Why fight for evil?" I asked.

"None of your damn business! I'm gonna kill you so that you can never destroy us." Tamaki said as she laughed. I balled my fist. "Stop laughing! I'm gonna destroy you and this Lady Selene to protect Ryuzaki, the princess, the sword and the world! My goal now is to become the best magic user! You trying to kill me is making my dream stronger!" I declared.

I opened my eyes. I felt stronger. What does my dream mean? Does Tamaki really work for Selene? Does my love for Yugi make me weak? Or does it make me stronger? It does make me strong. My friends are so important to me. Too bad I was summoned alone.

I wish I knew what time it was. Looked outside to see it was dark. I got off the bed and walked to the balcony. She opened the door and when outside. It was cold outside! I quickly closed the door and jumped into bed. I covered myself with the sheets.

I warmed up and stood up. I realized I was still wearing my uniform. I hope Misty put some pajamas in the bureau. I opened the draws to see a pair of purple pj's was resting there. I undressed and put them on. I went to bed and fell asleep.

I woke up early the next morning. I sat up to see Misty standing there with a smile on her face. "Ohayo Misty-san!" I said happily. "Ohayo Sakura-chan how are you?" She asked. "I'm fine. I'm totally ready for my training." I said as I got out of bed.

She took my hand and walked me out of the room. I felt my cheeks get warmer. "Of course you want to eat first?" she asked. I nodded and followed Misty to the kitchen. "Where's Reina?" I asked. "She has breakfast in her room. She will be at the training grounds after breakfast." Misty said as she went to the stove. "What would you like?" she asked. "Pancakes please." I politely said.

I always had to cook for myself. Not even Misato made anything for me. I remember when Ryoko first slept over my house; she made breakfast for my whole family. Now that was nice.

I noticed that Misty was looking at me. "Misty-san can I ask you a question?" I asked. "Sure ask away." She said. "I have a question about Tamaki. I had a dream that Tamaki was going to kill my boyfriend and then admitted to working for Selene. Do you know if that's true?" I asked.

I saw Misty's face grow pale. "Sakura-chan, I...I don't believe it. Maybe your dream isn't true. I know Tamaki is a little bitchy but I can't believe that she's evil." Misty said as she dropped the spatula. "I'm sorry if I offended you Misty-san but I believe my dream is true. Why would Tamaki attack me for no reason? I know that she doesn't like me for some reason but I saw the evil in her eyes when she hurt me. She showed no mercy at all. If Reina-sama didn't stop the fight, I would have died."

Misty picked the spatula put. "I know you would have died. But Tamaki is Reina's best friend and would never betray her. But I have a feeling that she might have turned against us." Misty said. "I learned that when she attacked you."

I took in a deep breath. "Does Reina-sama know?" I asked. Misty shook her head. "Not at the moment but I think she knows." How can Reina not know? I guess it's because Tamaki mostly hangs with Misty. Misty must see the true side of her and wants to keep it a secret...

[LexofForbidinglove]

I just have a few questions....


um... What is a Bust size?


Why is Sakura protecting the queen? I mean.. She made her come to the land without asking... Thats like saying, "I made you came here. Now protect me."
Was its because she wants to get revange from Tamaki?

Are we going to see her friends again? I like Ryoko and how she acts.

I like the dream with Yugi. I always like how dreams are in this type of story.

[danstu]

bust size is the size of a certain part of the female body, i'd probabky get whomped by all the girls here if i mentioned it by name though, so i'll let you guess.

Well there is more to my story. There's about 10 chapters left and your questions will be answered. So I'm gonna post more chapters now

Here's 3!

Chapter 3: A New Adventure! Can I Survive It?

I ate breakfast and followed Misty to the training grounds. Reina was in a sky blue jumpsuit. Her arms were tightly crossed and her blond hair was swaying in the breeze.

"Sakura-chan this training will be the most difficult thing you will ever experience. I expect you to master these powers and become a strong magic user." Reina said as she uncrossed her arms. "Now power up." She ordered. My mind was totally blank.

"What do you mean 'power up'?" I asked confused. Reina took a deep breath. "Well what I meant was unleash your magic that I awakened for you. Trust your heart and search for the powers." She said.

I stood firmly on the ground. I balled my fists and closed my eyes. I felt a strong power overcome my body. It was a familiar power that was awakened the day earlier. I opened my eyes to see a pinkish aura surrounding my body. This must be my power.

"Reina-sama she successfully powered up. Her powers, for a beginner are astounding." Misty said. The princess nodded. "Yes it is. Her powers will soon equivalent my own." "Demo Ojou-sama, do you think she'll be strong enough to use the sword against Cyber Lady?" Misty asked. "I believe that Sakura-san will be strong enough to defend my kingdom but I highly doubt it if she's able to use the sword. Only my family members can use it." Reina said.

"Sakura-san! It's time to attack. Summon power to your hands and turn it into a beam of energy." She said. I swallowed hard. I closed my eyes and focused on my attack. I felt a heat forming in my hand. I opened my eyes and fired a purple beam into a wall, almost breaking it.

Wow I did that? That was amazing. I smirked at the though of using my powers on Tamaki. I'll make her beg for mercy, but I'll never give mercy because she attacked me. I felt a sly grin cross my lips.

"That was excellent. Your powers are strong for a beginner." Reina said. I smiled. "Arigato Reina-sama. I expect my powers to increase." I added. She smiled at my remark. "Misty I don't think that she will become powerful enough to protect Ryuzaki now if Selene attacks. Maybe going to Selene's castle will help." Reina said.

"Go to Crystal Tower! Are you insane? Your majesty, Sakura will get killed!" Misty cried. "Misty, never question my requests. Go along with her so she won't be alone and have a training partner." Reina said.

Misty swallowed hard. "Yes your majesty, I'll do it." She then looked at me. "Sakura-chan I'm your new training partner. Just because I'm a cute little girl it doesn't mean I don't pack a punch." She said laughing. I giggled slightly. She reminds me of Ryoko, a cute girl with a hidden dark side.

Later that day we embarked on our journey to Selene's castle on Crystal Tower. Misty gave me my school uniform back and I quickly dressed myself. I liked the way I looked so I didn't complain. Misty packed us a lunch and went off.

"Misty-san are you sure I can pull this off?" I asked as we left the great metropolis. "I'm positive. I believe in you and the sooner you defeat Selene, the sooner you can go home." Misty said. I smiled warmly.

As we entered a dark forest I began to sense a strong force. "Misty-san do you feel it? An enemy is near." I asked her. She nodded. "It's strong. It's about three people, one stronger than the other." Misty said.

I saw a shadow pass us at fast pace. It was a group of samurai, female samurai. One had a green suit, another had a blue suit and the leader had a pink suit. The leader of the group laughed slightly. "Looky what we got here girls." She said. "Hehe. They look freaky." The girl in blue suit said laughing. "What should we do to them?" the girl in the green suit asked. "Kill them and bring their heads to Mistress Selene." The leader said.

I took a fighting stance. "Who are you?" I asked. "We are the Mystic Samurai, loyal to Lady Selene. We can sense out your magic powers little girl. If you defeat us you may pass. And my name is Neriko." The leader said. "Mine is Naoko." The green suited girl said. "I'm Akane." The blue suited girl said.

"I'm Sakura and I'll defeat you." I said as I powered up. "How cute, she's strengthening her powers." Neriko laughed. "Misty-san hide. I'll protect you." I said as I put a hand on her shoulder. She nodded and went to tree. Akane grabbed her before she can reach the tree. She pulled out a knife and held it Misty's throat.

"No Misty!" I shouted. "Don't kill her!" I demanded. "Oh we will girly." Akane giggled. Neriko got out a sword and held to my stomach. "Survive my wrath and you may live." Neriko said as she slashed me in the face. I screamed as blood gushed down my cheek. "SAKURA-CHAN!" Misty screamed.

I made an energy ball in my hand and fired it at Neriko. It hit her in the stomach, sending her into a tree. Naoko quickly jumped into the battle and sword her dagger out and tried to slash me. Luckily I moved out of the way and powered up.

"I call upon thy magic powers I possess. Give me a special attack that can destroy these witches." I said as I closed my eyes. "PRETTY SUNLIGHT FIRE BLAST!" I shouted as a huge fireball sprayed on Naoko, killing her instantly.

"Damn you b***h! You killed my sister!" Neriko shouted as she stabbed me in the gut. My blood covered the whole sword. She removed the sword and licked the blood off it. "Akane kill her partner!" Neriko demanded. Akane lifted the knife to Misty's neck. "Hold it right there!" A deep voice called...

[Jess-chan]

Chapter 4: Rebelling Samurai Yuki! Can She Help Us?

I saw a girl with aqua hair behind us holding a rather large sword. Her soft green eyes were icy cold. Her frosty glare made Akane drop the knife. Neriko smirked. "It's Yuki the traitor! I'm surprised you showed your face." Neriko said as threw me aside.

"How could you girls work for Selene? She's making you into blood thirsty beasts." Yuki said as she drew her sword. "You have no right to kill that girl! She's doing the right thing destroying you, sister." She said. I gasped. She was willing to kill her own flesh and blood.

I weakly stood up. Misty came to my side as the samurais fought. Certainly it was a bloody battle. Yuki's sword was covered with Neriko's blood, as she stood victorious. Her icy cold glare turned sweet when she looked at me. "Don't worry I'm not here to hurt you. My name is Yuki and I rebelled against Selene. Did Reina send you?" She asked.

I nodded simply. "My name is Aizaki Sakura and this is Misty." I said. Misty smiled. "Where those girls your sisters?" Misty asked. Yuki nodded and noted that Akane was still alive. Misty lifted her finger and blasted Akane in the heart, killing her instantly.

"So you're trying to protect the Sword of Heart? Hope you succeed." Yuki said. "Was Selene that evil?" I asked. "Evil as evil can be. She wants the Sword of Heart to overpower Reina and take over Ryuzaki by uniting it with Crystal Tower."

"Damn. She sounds strong. Maybe I can't beat her." I said turning my head. Misty eyed me. "Don't say that! You must be strong or your powers won't develop correctly. Believe in yourself! I do!" she barked, scaring me at first.

"You're right. I must be strong in order to defeat Selene and protect the Sword of Heart." I declared, trying to hind my being afraid. "You seem to be strong but it takes more than strength to destroy Cyber Lady." Yuki said as she took out a cloth and cleaned her bloody sword.

"You don't look like anyone from here. Where are you from?" Yuki asked. "I'm from Tokyo." I said as a bewildered look went on Yuki's face. "Tokyo? Never heard of the place." "Well she's from a different world." Misty said.

"Oh that explains it. Tokyo is your world?" Yuki asked. I laughed slightly. "Tokyo is a city in Japan on planet Earth, my world." I said. "Earth? I heard of it. It's beautiful." Yuki said smiling. "Arigato. I miss my friends dearly. Especially Ryoko-chan and Yugi-kun." I said as I felt the blood rush to my cheeks.

"Yugi? Is that your mate?" Yuki asked. I blushed furiously and Misty laughed at that. "No just my boyfriend." I quietly said. "Kawaii! That's sweet!" Misty said grabbing my hand. "Is he handsome?" she asked as her cheeks turned pink. "Oh yeah! He's the cutest thing ever! I mean I could die in his arms!" I squealed.

Yuki laughed. "How's that Ryoko girl?" she asked. "Well Ryoko is a strange girl. One moment she's sweet as sugar then the next she's a blood thirsty animal." I giggled. Misty and Yuki looked at each other. "I guess you can tame her." Yuki laughed.

"Anyway are we near Crystal Tower?" I asked. "Not even close. We must first cross through the Sapphire Lake, then Hyper Forest and try not to cross the Ginga Fortress, Silver Path and finally Crystal Tower. Silver Path is filled with Selene's followers so we have to be extra careful." Yuki explained.

"Yuki-san you didn't mention Cerulean Village. Did you forget?" Misty asked. I saw Yuki's face turn cold again. "Never mention that place again," she coldly said.

"Oh my. I'm sorry." Misty said, not knowing she upset the samurai. "It's not your fault. I'm sorry I snapped at you. It's just that I'm from Cerulean Village and that was where Selene attacked first and took me and my sisters from our widow mother." I saw a tear race down her cheek.

"What happened to your otousan?" I asked. She became silent. She took a long deep breath and faced me. "He was murdered by Selene's most loyal subject Tamaki. I saw her plant the sword into him and his lifeless body lying besides our home. Papa was the kindest man ever. He loved his family and was a powerful warrior and taught my sisters and me the basics of fighting. That's why I'm a good samurai." Yuki said, drying her tear stained eyes.

Misty's eyes widened. "Tamaki? Why? I thought she was Reina's loyal subject." She said. "I must tell you that Tamaki is good at fooling people. She chose Reina-sama because she's so kind and to get information on the Sword of Heart. Selene always envied Reina because of her beauty and her access to the sword." Yuki said.

"I knew it. My dream was correct. Her heart is pure evil and I saw it when she attacked me." I said balling my fist. Selene must be truly evil as well, I mean that she envied Reina for the powers she'll never have.

"Let's go on. Our journey has just began and we must face every challenge on the way." Misty said. "Which place are we near?" I asked. "Well Sapphire Lake is about 10 miles from here. It's said that a great healing herb is found there. Unfortunately I have no apparent clue if that's true." Yuki said.

I feel like I'm in a fantasy novel. I mean with healing herbs and mystic samurais and being in an enchanted world. I was reluctant at first, but now I believe that I can be a powerful magic user.

A few days passed and we haven't faced a single enemy. I was slightly disappointed at that. Misty and Yuki laughed when I said that. During that time I told the girls more about myself, about my relationship with my sister and parents, my love life and my friends. Of course they felt sorry for me and I learned a bit more about them.

Yuki was the youngest of the Mystic Samurai and the strongest of the quartet. She is skilled in fencing and wants to learn magic. Misty had trained in magic since she was six. She told me she was only fourteen years old. It's hard to believe that. She looks a little bit older.

I did tell them I was fifteen years old and found out that Yuki was almost twenty. Wow that's really cool. Later that day after two hours of walking, we finally reached Sapphire Lake. I cursed when I realized I didn't have a bathing suit. Misty laughed at my disappointment.

"The healing herb must be nearby. I can sense it's powerful yet gentle powers." Misty said. "Yeah it is. Its powers are gentle." I said as I felt the herb's strength. "So the herb exists after all. Anyway we'll need it if we're gonna face Cyber Lady." Yuki said. Misty and I nodded.

I fear the day when I have to fight Selene. After hearing some many stories, I'm scared to death to face her, but I must be strong in order to protect Ryuzaki, Princess Reina and the Sword of Heart. I must become a strong magic user and use my pure magic on any evil foe.

I walked over to a tree and sat down. I removed my shoes and socks and put my feet into the cold lake water. I sighed in relief; my feet felt totally better. I turned to see a shadow near the tree next to me. It was a man! He's spying on us! That pervert, looking at us from a tree trunk! If he were a gentleman, he'd actually walk up to us!

"What's wrong?" Misty asked as she saw we looking around. "I sworn that I saw somebody spying on us!" I said as I stood up and took my shoes. Yuki took her sword out and stepped in front of me. "He'll never hurt you if I'm around." She said.

"Whoever you are, come forth! If you are evil you better run for your dear life." Yuki called. The next thing we heard was someone falling from the tree and cursing loudly. I saw the person emerge from the shadows...

Chapter 5: The Healing Herb! Can We Get It?

It was a fairly tall and handsome man. He had dark black hair and shining green eyes. Muscles bulged from the tight green suit he wore. His cold eyes rested upon me, trying to find mine. A blush crossed my face and my heart beat faster than ever.

"Who the hell are you?" Yuki demanded. As soon as Yuki's rough words escaped her mouth, he drew a long sword at her, inches away from her throat. "The name's Raven, you might be?" He asked. "I'm Yuki," the samurai calmly said. "I'm Aizaki Sakura." I shyly said, then pointed to Misty. "And this is Misty."

"Raven? I think I heard of you from Princess Reina. You're that swordsman who tried to save Ryuzaki from Selene awhile ago but was defeated." Misty said. A huge sweat drop formed on Raven's head. "Hey just because I was defeated, it doesn't mean it'll happen again!" he barked.

"It seems he's fairly weak to me." Yuki said as she crossed her arms. I laughed slightly. He blushed. "I'm not weak samurai!" he shouted at Yuki. Yuki smirked. "Really? Show me what you got." She said. "Please don't fight. We don't have time to. We must find the healing herb!" I said as I held Yuki's arm.

"You're looking for the herb too? Well I'm gonna find it before you pretty ladies do." Raven said as he put his sword away. "Well you better be quick because we're gonna find it and you will cry when we do!" I said as we walked off. "Dream on woman, only magic users can find the herb!" he said.

I smiled. "I am a magic user." His face faulted. "You look nothing like one! You wear such horrible clothing!" He said. "Well don't blame me! Blame the school I go to!" I said. He was obviously confused. "You have to wear such filth for your education?" he asked. "I can go to school without this, but I'm not gonna get in trouble for you buddy." I said.

I turned my head to see Misty and Yuki whispering to each other. I frowned. When I approached them, they shut up. "I can tell you were talking about me!" I said, angrily. Misty and Yuki looked at each other. "We know you like him." Misty said giggling. I growled under my breath. "I don't like him! I love Yugi!" I shouted, a bit too loud.

I turned to see Raven; his face was rosy red. He must have heard me. Damn I talk too loud! He must like me. It was obvious, seeing the expression on his face. I can't deny that he is cute. My heart started to race, the same way it does when I'm with Yugi.

"Your heart must be confused Sakura-chan." Yuki said as she put her hand on my shoulder. I nodded softly. "Anyway let's find the herb. Maybe you'll forget about him." Misty said.

I noticed that Raven was following us, making it harder for me to think of something else. "I can sense it. The herb is nearby." Misty said as we approached a cave. "It looks gross in there." I said disgustedly. "Also way too dark." Misty added. "You city girls are too scared. Get used to this kind of living. I went into many caves in my day." Yuki said.

Misty and I held on to each other as we entered the spooky cave. I noticed that a light was made. It was Raven, he made a torch. At least it wasn't too dark anymore. Misty still held me close because it wasn't exactly light or dark. Yuki was behind us and watched Raven's every move. It was certain that Yuki didn't trust Raven at all and I thought that was totally natural.

For some apparent reason, I trust him, although I only met him an hour ago. I feel the same towards Misty and Yuki. They're like sisters to me and I met them only a week ago. I love them both. They're the sisters that my own sister will never be. And Raven, well, I hardly know him but I feel that he's like Yugi. Do I have feelings for him, the same feelings that I have for Yugi? No it's too soon to think that and I will never love anyone else but Yugi.

Then I heard a loud growl. Misty jumped into my arms as the sound scared her. "What the hell was that?" I asked as I held Misty. "Well I think it sounds awfully familiar. It must be the Cave Serpent." Yuki said as she drew her sword.

"This is great! We have to fight some creepy snake?" I asked as fear took over my body. "Don't worry Sakura-chan. I won't let that beast harm you." Raven said as he held my arm. I felt my face get warmer. "Arigato Raven-kun. But I have to defeat this serpent in order to get the herb and become a strong magic user." I said as I removed his hand from my arm.

"Damn that's right! Only magic users can defeat the snake!" Yuki cursed as she put her sword away. I gulped nervously and Misty let go of me. "I guess we must fight the snake." She said. I nodded. This battle doesn't seem to be a hard as when Tamaki attacked me.

The large snake approached Misty and I. "What do you want!" the snake said in a booming voice. I bravely stepped forward. "We want the legendary healing herb." I said, loud enough for the beast to hear me. It let out a loud laugh. "In hell you will pathetic female." It said.

"We'll see about that." I said silently. "Show me your powers female!" it demanded. I smirked. My fire attacks should be enough to make if fall. I hope. "PRETTY SUNLIGHT FIRE BLAST!" I shouted as the huge fire beam escaped from my hand. It seemed to make a bit of damage to the beast. It roared out in pain. "Pretty good female, but can you survive my venom?" It asked.

I swallowed nervously. The snake took a deep breath and spit a red liquid. Luckily it didn't hit me; it made a nice hole in the ground. I jumped to avoid the venom. It managed to hit my shoulder and ate through my uniform. "Oh shit!" I said as it ruined my shirt.

"Sakura-chan be strong!" Misty shouted. "Hey I don't see you helping me!" I shouted back at the pink haired girl. She frowned. She stepped forward. "SECRET ICE BREATH!" She shouted as she took a deep breath and ice emerged from her mouth, freezing the snake's tail. "Hey ice princess! This battle doesn't concern you." The snake thawed its tail and whacked Misty into a wall.

"No Misty!" I shouted. Yuki ran to Misty's side and held her. Rage filled my soul. "You will never hurt my friends again you cold blooded bastard!" I shouted as I felt a new strength within me. I closed my eyes and prepared my new move. "FIREBALL ARROW SHOOT!" I shouted as the flamed arrow shot into the snake's heart. It screamed out as it turned to ashes.

"Arigato Sakura-chan." Misty weakly said as Yuki helped her up. I smiled. "Hold on ladies, that herb will be mine!" Raven said as he jumped over the snake's remains and ran.

"Damn you! Over my dead body!" I shouted as we ran after him. We followed him into a lightened room. A bright light surrounded a small hill of soil that held the herb. Raven got closer to it. Being smart, I grabbed his arm and held him back.

"You will never get this herb! I need its powers when I fight Selene." I said. He shook me slightly. "Are you serious? You're gonna fight Cyber Lady? That's basic suicide!" he shouted, sounding a bit concerned.

"I have to fight her in order to protect Reina, the Sword of Heart and get home." I said. "Home? You're not from here?" he asked. I shook my head. "I'm from Tokyo, Japan." I said. "That's cool. Do you have a boyfriend?" Raven asked as his cheeks turned maroon. I smiled and honestly and innocently answered him. "Yes. His name is Yugi."

I noticed the disappointment in his green eyes. He silently cursed under his breath and crossed his arms. Misty and Yuki quietly laughed. I saw the herb on top of a rock. Carefully I picked the crystal blue mineral and examined it. "This looks like a gem." I said. "It is. Its healing powers are unlimited and can help us in many battles." Misty said. The stone was gorgeous.

"It's lucky that I'm gonna travel with you lovely ladies." Raven said as we exited the cave. That's just dandy! Now I gotta worry if this leach will hit on me, since he did ask me if I had a boyfriend. So meaning to say, he sorta has the hots for me! That doesn't bother me at all. He is cute but Yugi is still the boy I love.

"Anyway where are we heading to Misty?" I asked, snapping back in reality. "We're going to Hyper Forest. I heard that many demons live there." She said. "That's great! I get to cut some demon heads off." Yuki proclaimed. Misty, Raven and I eyed her. Maybe she's a bit weirder than we are led on to believe.

She blushed slightly and laughed. "I'm not a psycho killer! I just don't like demons. They sorta freak me out." She said, blushing. "That's okay Yuki-chan. I'm not a fan of monsters and demons and things like that." I admitted. "If you're scared I'll protect you." Raven said as he put his hand on my shoulder. I slightly moved away from him. "That's okay but I can fend for myself." I said.

I'm gonna have to take care of myself if I'm gonna defend myself against Selene. Now I gotta worry about demons from Hyper Forest...
