Chapter 4.5-Childhood(1)

Spring 20XX

A child about 5 years old walked into the gates of a mansion that was even taller than her small body.

Her purple hair fluttered in the wind accompanied by several cherry blossom petals which also flew.

The little girl met a number of bodyguards who were guarding an access to the large mansion. Knowing who this little purple-haired girl was, the two large bodyguards immediately invited the girl to enter the big mansion.

The girl had a slightly flat face but with a radiant spirit that radiated in her emerald orbs.

The purpose of the girl's arrival was to invite the best friend to wait for her arrival in one of the rooms inside the white mansion with gold accents in several parts.

Little Ookami met the mother of the best friend whom she also considered her own mother. After greeting Ookami up the stairs to the second floor of the large mansion. At first she had a little difficulty because of the size of the steps that doesn't match the size of her feet, but before long a teenage boy aged 6 years above her approached her.

"Konbanwa, Kami-chan. Here let Onii-san escorted you to Saku's room," said the blue-haired man then carried Ookami in his arms and took her to a room with a white door with a board hanging in front of it that said 'Saku no Heya' (this is saku's room) with the typical messy writing of a child.

After arriving at the door, Ookami thrashed from the arms of her best friend's brother, Tetsubane Kurono. "Aligato, Nii-chan. I'll go in first, bai bai." Little Ookami thanked him and waved his hand at Kurono. After replying to Ookami's wave, Kurono left Ookami.

After Ookami saw Kurono's back away and disappeared, she slowly opened the door. After the door made a gap, she poked a portion of her face then to make sure that Sakura was in her room. Seeing Sakura who was playing house with her favorite colorful rabbit dolls.

Ookami immediately entered the room and closed the door again. Ookami walked towards the furry carpet occupied by Sakura.

"saku, do you want to play swing in front of your house? Why do you feel so comfortable at home for so long with your smelly rabbit doll?" said Ookami.

"Don't call Ao-chan and her friend smelly! If kami-than w-want to play out-tide, than saki's will play with you" Sakura said, stroking the head of one of the rabbit dolls and then holding Ookami's hand and dragging her to the backyard where there were some games like swings and slides. There were also a beautiful field of flowers and butterflies that are flying  there. In the middle of the garden is a white colored pavilion with a few sapphire blue crystals in several parts.

They walked into the pavilion, followed by several servants who were preparing to serve their princess's and her friend.

"Onee-than, pwease bring Saku and Kami-than delicious cakes and also a delicious mulk," said Sakura in a slurred tone that was typical of one of the servants who were there, but if she can mention her own name, how come she can't ?that makes you Wonder-.

"Alright, Sakura-sama," said the servant, lowering her blushing face because she was stunned by the humor of her master and friend.

After asking for a snack, Sakura and Ookami sat themselves on a mat located right next to the flower garden.

After sitting comfortably, Sakura and Ookami pulled out some weeds and wild flowers that were nearby.

After a few minutes of doing what they thought was fun, the waiter finally came and brought lots of cakes and pastries as well as a glass of chocolate milk and strawberry milk.

"Aligato, Onee-than / Onee-chan" said Sakura and Ookami together after the servant placed the snack in front of Sakura and Ookami. The servant just smiled and leaned down and then walked away from the two small children to watch from afar.

"Kami-than, this is for you ehehe," Sakura said, putting her artificial flower crown in purple flowers on Ookami's head. "Aligato, Saku-chan. We also made this for Saku-chan" After saying a thank you, Ookami also put a white flower crown on Sakura's head. That made sakura smile, accompanied by ookami's small smile.

After putting their own handmade crowns on each of their best friends head, Sakura and Ookami finally touched the sweet snack available before them. They enjoyed snacks during the day solemnly accompanied by the chatter typical of small children. They did not realize the figure who was watching them from behind the border of the garden and outside the gates.

Feeling watched, Ookami turned her head to where the figure was. Ookami, with all her curiosity, immediately patted Sakura who was in front of her and then told Sakura not to make a sound by putting her small index finger in front of her lips and then pointing where the figure was hiding.

Sakura who was not aware of the figure's presence had been curious because the figure was holding something like a sharp object.

Sakura and Ookami were finally defeated by their curiosity and moved from where they were seating and walked towards the fence between the park and the outer road. They came out of the backyard area through an unlocked back gate. The servants who watched were also careless because of the drowsiness that attacked them so that they didn't realize that the two people they were supposed to be watching had disappeared from their sight.
