Not As Ordinary As You Think-Sasuke Romance-Chapter 2

It was the night that I remember so vividly even to this day.
I had just gotten ready for bed, wearing my favourite crimson red night gown, my hair in braids cascading down my back.
~*~7 years ago~*~
I had woken up from a bad dream and went downstairs to find my parents to comfort me but instead I found something worse.
"Gen you cant be serious! You let our own daughter be exposed to something like that!" my mother hissed.
"Emi calm down. Dont get rash. She was chosen cant you see?! Our own daughter is one of the very rare few chosen to be like them! But I need your help!" "You dont need me! You can do it on your own for all I care. I'm taking her away from here before we're all in danger" she rubbed her temples.
Gen stepped near her and she took a step back. "Emi...darling. That's why I brought back the herbs, the only way she can be safe now is if we put the seal on her..." my mother looked up into my fathers brown eyes, the brown eyes that I had inherted.
"It's just-I just-Why us?" she asked low and hoarse.
I sneaked down the stairs, rubbing my eyes standing in the hallway peeking around the corner.
"Listen. The dragon has already befriended Ryoko. The dragon wont fight it if it knows that its for the good of her. Dragons are loyal creatures, he'd gladly risk his life to save hers..." my father placed his hands on Emi's shoulders rubbing them comfortingly.
My mother leaned into him sighing. "But we'll be in danger 24/7..." she skeptically looked away from him to see me standing there.
Her face went from doubt to a smile as she left Gen's arms and embraced me in hers.
"What's a matter sweetheart?" she asked putting hair that had gotten out of place behind my ears.
"Mommy I had a bad dream..." I hugged her back. "It's okay Ryoko you're safe here. With mommy and daddy" Gen came over and smiled at me.
His blonde hair shone in the little living room light.
"Gen. I dont think the seal is a good idea..." my mother kissed my forehead.
"But she'll never be any safer without it, the dragon will protect her..." he assured with a slight smile.
"Daddy what's protecting me?" I asked questioningly looking up at him with glossy eyes.
"Your friend in the secret garden..." he smiled. "Gen she doesnt know what you're talking a-" "You mean Flame?" I asked smiling thinking about my red scaled dragon that was now my size.
"Is that what you named him?" he asked with a toothy grin.
I nodded shyly.
Then there was a knock at the door... "Who would be up at this hour?" my mother asked carrying me over to the door.
"Emi...I dont think you should open that..." my father's voice was serious. I've never heard him speak that way before.
"Seriously, it's probably just some people passing through and need directions. Our light is the only light on in the entire village I bet" she laughed.
Her hand reached for the knob it all seemed somewhat in slow motion for a second, like I already knew something murderous lay behind the door.
"Mommy..." I tugged at her shirt. "Hang on..." she smiled then opened the door widely.
"May I help you?" she asked flashing a smile.
"Yes you can, hand over the girl" the man had two others behind him.
"E-Excuse m-me?" she stuttered holding me close.
"I didnt want to restort to this...get her" he commanded.
The two men behind him sliced quickly at my mothers throat then took me by my shoulders putting me in their arms.
"MOMMY!" I swore I screamed it so loud that even those halfway around the world would hear me.
My father seemed to come out of no where. Attacking one of them with some kind of magic trick or something.
"What's going on?" I saw my brother walk down the stairs rubbing his own sleepy eyes, and before he could even reach the bottom step a sharp weapon came flying at him and he fell.
The man who was holding me shoved my face to his chest so I couldnt see anything.
I kicked, I screamed, I punched, I bit, but nothing seemed to work.
So out of fear I cried again. Cried for life, cried for my family, cried for myself.
"That's the entire family...except this one" a male voice said.
"Good than that's all, we'll take her and exucute her somewhere else" the man holding me replied.
Then they were running my hair was whipping in my face so they must have been going fast.
They jumped, and I could almost hear something in my head...
'Ryoko? Is that you? Are you okay? I heard you scream' the voice was again male but younger sounded around my age.
"Flame!" I screamed but my mouth got covered by a hand, I scream feriously and then felt sleepy.
"What is that?" "Is that the...dragon it already hatched?!" the two men yelled at one another.
Their voices we're dull, my eyes felt heavy and I fell asleep or thats what it felt like.
Something wet on my arm awoke me. I shot up and looked around. Flame lay beside me rubbing my arm.
'Are you okay?' he asked tipping his head to the side.
"I think so.." I gasped jumping to my feet running and tripping over something.
It was one of the men's bodies. I went to scream but Flame stopped me. 'I had to they were going to hurt you, I just knew it!' he insisted.
I felt tears in my eyes. "Flame they hurt them..." I felt my eyes watering and his nose touched my chin comfortingly.
'But are you hurt?' he asked sitting down beside me. "No..." I shook my head shooting up from the ground and running.
I ran through the open secret doorway, down the street and into my house.
Mommy was on the floor, she was bleeding badly. Her eyes were open and glossy.
Red liquid had dried around her wound.
Daddy lay next to her, multiple stabbing wounds on his chest and back.
Then my brother was on the stairs eyes closed blood dripping down the stairs like a waterfall.
"NO!" I yelled and ran through the house careful not to touch any blood.
'Ryoko...?' Flame's voice entered my mind again. Though I didnt really understand how or why he could.
"It's all because of me!" I fell to the floor crying.
"It's all my fault!" I cried on my hands.
"They were talking about me. About me being safe. I cant be safe without them here!" again the wet nose of Flame touched my arm.
'I know of a way that can help...' he sighed.
"What do you mean?" I asked sniffling.
'I mean...I can be with you forever and protect you...it's a special thing that dragons can do' he looked to my hand where his burn mark was.
He lifted it with his head. 'I can live inside you...' he said in almost a whisper.
He breathed on my hand it was a funny color. It was the color of light, my burn mark seemed to absorb it then he started to dissolve into the burn mark as well...
"Flame?" I asked. "Flame? Flame?!" I called in a panicked tone.
'I'm still here' he comforted. I sighed.
'I just put myself inside you...' his voice seemed to get softer, quietier.
'You wont be able to talk with me all the time, same as I wont know what your doing most of the time...' his voice was even quieter.
"What do you mean?!" I stood to my feet.
'Bye...' his voice echoed a little bit.
"Flame? Flame?! FLAME!" I cried again until it was morning.
Then I left...
Not sure what had happened, not sure why it happened, not sure why it had to happen to me. But I was determined to get answeres...
So here I am now
