Talking

Thoughts

Over a hundred years ago an ancient prophecy was made.

When the bringer of day

and the bringer of night

meet together in the sky

a kinder will be born.

With this kinder a war will start

over who will rule the world.

With two, of race and power,

will the outcome rest.

The prophecy was examined thousands of times, over and over again, but no one could find out what it meant; that is, except for the line that foretold a great war was coming. It was a definite that the war would be between the top two races, the vampires and the witches, since the humans were too oblivious of their existence to even be considered a contender. Over the years, each side strengthened their forces, inventing anything that would give them an advantage over the other, and waited for the day.

While preparations were going on Setsuna and Kaito fell in love, the former being the leader of the most powerful clan of witches and warlocks and the latter being the leader of the most powerful vampire clan. Through much secrecy and sharply executed tactics they were able to hide their love from the critical eyes of the supernatural world. With help from less than a handful of personal friends they were able to marry with no suspicion.

Soon, they gave birth to a son. They were not concerned with what race he was; they were just elated that he was alive as such a child from a witch and a vampire was ever heard of. He had his father's shining silver hair and icy blue eyes; and his father's vampirism. He would stay in secret with his godfather, a vampire and Kaito's best man and best friend, so no one know of him.

Two years later they gave birth to a baby girl; she had glowing emerald green eyes like her mother and a mix from her parents' red and silver hair, a shimmering cherry blossom pink color. Not long after the birth they were advised that rumor was being spread about about their marriage. Denying it was no use in dousing the rapidly growing tension between the two races. Half a month after she was born the war broke out, the prophecy was taking place right before their eyes. To keep their children alive and safe they were left with no other choice.

They brought their children to Setsuna's loyal and trustworthy friend and advisor, Tsunade, to hide and take care of them. They left them with their most priced possessions; to their son, a sterling silver katana imbedded with diamond dust and magic and to their daughter, a simple leather string necklace with a jagged crystal pendant on it. Last farewells and love were given to the soon-to-be orphaned children; from the very beginning they knew they never to see their children grow.

The star-crossed lovers fought against their attackers with each and everything they had. Fighting in perfect harmony, they killed as many as they could. Hundreds of lifeless bodies surrounded them as time passed but there was only so much they could take on. They were killed together by their own kind and burned in the same fire together by their own kind. Unexpectedly, and also cynically, after much effort and many deaths on their side the ones that lead the attack turned the war into a genocide of both clans. No one knew about the children except for Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kaito's trusted advisor, and Fugaku Uchiha, the son's godfather, and his wife and two sons. While living in secret, a new prophecy was discovered.

On the night of when

the kinder comes of age,

the bringer of day and

the bringer of night will meet again.

The kinder will have the power of two,

the power to stop wars and bring peace,

but only if a cold dead beat

can love the kinder back.

This was the story of my people… the story of my parents.

My brother's name is Daisuke Kaito Haruno.

My name is Sakura Setsuna Haruno.

He is twenty years old.

I am seventeen years old.

He is a vampire.

I am a witch.

And we're going to college.

The campus was extremely large and spacious. The buildings were made of an aged red brick that had ivy growing up its sides, the railings were made of old wood and others made of newly polished metal, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. This is the most perfect day of my life ever!

"Look at that Dai-chan!" I said pointing at what appeared to be a student store, what with people going in and coming out with new things. People roamed the campus freely and leisurely. Some sat on the lawns in large groups, a handful could be seen reading some form of text in the shade of the tall trees, and a few were moving around on skateboards or bikes. Loud shouting and what sounded like grunts could be heard off in the near distance, making one think that some sort of practices were being held.

"It's just a store Saki, nothing important." He replied back in a sour tone; he observed as a man in baggy black clothes and a few facial piercings strode past him and as a long haired brunette with a very revealing top winked at him from afar. He just grimaced at both and kept moving.

I pinched the bridge of my nose and shook my head at my brother. "Why are you in such a sour mood?"

"I'm in a sour mood, as you put it, because of all the people staring at us." He started glaring at people then. The guys hurriedly looked away and scrambled for something to do while the girls that were gawking just swooned at his cold attitude.

"Of course they are! It's not every day you see a guy with a katana on his back and a girl with pink hair." I told him, trying to get him to calm down. "Besides, it's not like they can hurt us."

"Whatever." It worked. We walked around the campus lost for a while. We finally decided to stop at the student store that we had passed earlier and ask for directions. It was a nice little shop. The décor was designed to feel more like a coffee house as some sat inside on their laptops using the free wifi. Everything was decorated in red, browns, and greens to fit the universities colors. As soon as we entered everyone's head turned towards us and we just stood there sheepishly; well I did. Daisuke walked straight up to the clerk that was working, a tall man that looked to be about twenty-one. The employee was turned around busy reading what looked to be a magazine of some kind. Daisuke grunted loudly, the almost caveman he was, to get his attention. When the man turned around he almost gave himself whiplash. "Ah! Sheesh man; you don't have to scare people half-to-death. Now, how may I…" The young man sort of trailed off as he took in my brother's appearance. Even though he came off as an uninviting person he is still a vampire. He can't help that his body gives off a pheromone that attracts humans, no matter what gender.

Daisuke let out an exasperated breath as the man had stopped talking altogether after seeing him. "Ahem."

"Y-yeah! C-ca-can I help you?" The young man dropped his magazine on the counter as he gave my brother his undivided attention. As my brother was about to tell him what we can in for I noticed that the magazine was a swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated. Seeing the page he had been looking at a smile broke across my face. I jumped from behind my brother and bounced to the counter and picked up the magazine. "Dai-chan! Look, its Mei-chan!" I shoved the article in his face only for him to cringe at the picture of Tsunade's best friend and gambling buddy. He shoved it back on the counter only to glare at the man that was now staring at me. I tilted my head at him, not knowing why he was so intensely staring. Ah! So this is what Tsunade meant when she said that witches give off a 'glow' that enchants humans. Shrugging it off, I smiled at him and asked for a map of the campus. Stammering, blushing, and stumbling over himself like a like a little kid over his first crush he got one for us one immediately. When I tried to pay for it he said that it was on the house. "Oh how nice, thank you!" I started to walk away when I noticed Daisuke wasn't following. I turned to see his hand inching toward his katana and the clerk having a hard time on which of us to stare at. "Dai-chan! Let's goooo! And stop reaching for your sword!"

We walked up to the main building, Daisuke had to take the map from me since I suck at directions, and up the stone steps. It was a nicely aged looking building with ivy climbing up all five stories and dark wood doors. We walked through the double doors and into the open reception area. It was more of a lounge for students that wanted to just hang out inside. After looking at the directory of the building, we went up to the fifth floor; the first four held two floors of teacher offices, a floor of study halls, and a floor that was purely for storage. The elevator opened to an open space with a single seating area and the only person in the room was a woman behind a desk. We walked over to her and stood waiting until we figured out that she hadn't noticed us yet.

"Uh, hello?" I greeted. She looked up at us with wide black orbs, her black hair swaying a bit.

"Oh, you scared me! I'm Shizune, how may I help you?" She asked with a smile after recovering her breath.

"We're here to see Tsunade about enrollment." I said with a smile of my own.

"Take the door to your right and go to all the way down the hall." She said pointing to said mahogany door just to the side of her desk.

"Okay…" Then my curiosity was peaked when I looked to the left and saw an identical door and another elevator. "But, if you will excuse me for asking, where does the other door and elevator lead?" I said pointing to them.

Shizune paused for a second and seemed to access us. "Oh you're excused. That one leads to the other dean's office."

"The other dean?" My brother asked, speaking for the first time since we walked in.

"Yes, this school has two deans." She cocked an eyebrow at us, probably wondering why we were asking so many questions. And why the silver haired young man with a katana strapped to his back seemed to be making himself intimidating.

I nudged him in the ribs and approached her with a smile, to which she returned. "I'm sorry about him. Do you know why there are two?" I asked. Her smile disappeared soon after.

"That depends on who's asking." Then we understood immediately. I backed away from her desk and glanced at my brother who was already looking at me. With a nod of his head for confirmation, I looked at her cup of pencils behind her desk and snapped my fingers. After glowing for a second, the pencils fell on the desk while the cup appeared in my brother's hand. She looked at us, little to no surprise in her features but her face did soften.

"I figured you were a witch… This school is not just for our kind and humans. We also teach them." She whispered as if they could hear her. She just didn't know that one was standing right in front of her. "We are the only school of our kind and we hope to bring peace between us." We looked at each other again. Now we understand why Tsunade wanted us to come here for schooling. It was the only place where we could be normal and stay together. We nodded our heads then walked towards the door.

"My cup." She said returning to her work. The cup disappearing out of Daisuke's hand right after she spoke. I just stared at her, my hand in mid-air ready to snap. She did it without even snapping or looking at it! I had been practicing and training since I was able to form a proper sentence but I still couldn't get past basic conjuring techniques. I guess Tsunade was right when she said that it took lot of practice and time to advance. The phone rang and she picked it up. "Good morning. Konoha University, how may I help you?" she said while winking at me.

We walked through the door and had to walk down a narrow hallway lined with pictures of the school over the years on the walls. We opened the big wooden doors at the end to a large office. There were bookcases filled to the top with books on either wall. The wall opposite of the door had a huge window in it, letting light shine on the couch, chairs and desk in the room. Sleeping on the desk was Tsunade herself. Her blonde hair in its usual pigtails, her over-sized chest rising up and down as she breathed, and her amber eyes hidden behind her eyelids as drool dripped from her mouth on to her desk.

I walked over to her and saw Tonton wake up sleepily from under the desk. I crouched down and picked her up, cradling her in my arms. I looked back at my sensei when an evil idea formed in my head. I licked my finger and brought it close to her ear, I was almost there when… "Don't even think about it."

I jumped back with surprise and dropped Tonton. I reached out for her, worried for her safety but she just floated back to the ground on a cloud. Damn magic pig.

"How are you Sakura? Daisuke?" Tsunade addressed us as if nothing happened. I sat down next to my brother on the sofa and got comfortable.

"We've been worst." He said nonchalantly while I shrugged. Tonton strutted back over to me and jumped into my lap. Not being able to stay mad at the big cutie I started scratching behind her ears.

"Good. So what are you two doing here?" She yawned afterwards and stretched out her muscles.

"Did you seriously forget?" I asked, bewildered that she would forget that she had summoned us here herself.

She bent over and grabbed something from beneath her desk. Straightening, she came up with a bottle of sake and a glass. We both sighed at her constant drinking antics. "No, I didn't forget. I'm just asking why you came to me. Your stuff is in your dorm rooms already."

"Oh, okay; but actually I have a question of two I want to ask you." Daisuke said looking her in the eye. "Or three or four or ten." I muttered under my breath but I think he heard me. Considering the elbow I got in my side I think that was a yes.

"Why didn't you tell us you taught humans, witches, and vampires here? Who is the other dean? How are you able to do this? Do the humans know? Where will we be staying?" He paused to take a breath and Tsunade took the opportunity.

"To answer your questions in order and then some. Firstly, I didn't tell you two because I thought you would have thought it was too dangerous for Sakura." Humph, why does he keep thinking I need protection? "Secondly, the other dean is Jiraiya so you don't have to worry about anything." Ugh, why that pervert? "Thirdly, I convinced the council that to prevent another war we should try to unite the races together, starting with the youth. Fourthly, No the humans do not know that we are here.

"And to answer your last question, the witches and vampires stay in a dormitory of their own far enough away from the campus to prevent anything from happening, even though they signed a contract. There has been no disturbances all year so far and I am very proud of that. You will be staying with the vampires down the hall from the witches, where Sakura will be. Now go you two, I'm sure you have people waiting for you."

I got up and left with my brother following beside me. Waving bye to Shizune, we got in the elevator and waited inside for it to take us to bottom. When we got to the first floor the doors opened to a different place. "Uh, did we take the wrong elevator…?" Before us was not the lounge area like we thought. In front of us was a large building in a forest, the school heard in the distance. It was a modern mansion with floor-to-ceiling windows, a large gate/wall surrounding it and a plush garden. We walked up to the front door, the elevator dinging behind us; when we turned to look it was just a normal fence door. I pushed the doorbell but no one came and seeing as the door was unlocked we just walked in.

Everything was either white or black in color. After walking through the entryway we came upon a dining room that looked unused. The living room was to the right after that room; it had a big screen TV, a comfy looking big black couch with matching love seat and one-seater, a white coffee table was also in front of the couch. As we made our way to the stairs we noticed that the kitchen was to the left but we couldn't see inside without having to turn the corner. We walked up the grand staircase and saw two handwritten signs on the wall. One, with 'Vampires' written in standard black ink, had different names written on it and pointed to the left. The other, with 'Witches' written in colorful ink, also had different names written on it but pointed to the right. Each sign had four names on the paper. I looked at my brother with a sad expression, to which he scoffed at, and told him I would see him later. He ignored me and walked away. Ungrateful older annoying brother! I moved down the hall to the right, not bothering to look back and only worry about what was ahead of me.

And that was an edit. I like it so much better now without all those mistakes I made when I was younger; but I guess I'm just forcing myself to be motivated now though lol. Oh! And I changed the ages! Ages: 18 (90)- Sakura (soon to be), Naruto, Hinata and Shikamaru; 19 (95)- Ino, Sasuke, and Neji; 20 (100)- Tenten, Daisuke and Kinako. I like this age group better for the theme, setting, and story altogether.

Still tell a friend about this story! Even if it is completed!

Later, Tay.
