Sakura sat in the passenger seat of her brother’s truck. The trailer hooked up to the back of the truck with Destiny in it. She wondered how he was doing; she knew this was the first time she has traveled this far cramped up in a trailer. Sakura started to get nervous when she saw the Blue Ridge riding academy sign that said it was only a couple miles down the road. Sakura wondered what the school was like. They traveled the roads for about another ten minutes and then came to the school. Her brother Aketo parked the truck and looked at her “are you ready?” He asked her. Sakura looked at the huge building not taking her eyes off it as she said “Ready as I ever will be” . Aketo nodded, he got out and went to look at Destiny to make sure she was ok.

One of the dogs started to bark. Sakura turned to look at the back seat of the truck. For the last half hour she had forgotten about all her babies in the back seat. Because they were sleeping and didn’t make a sound till now, when Boulder started to bark he woke up all of the animals that were inside the truck. Which was bull dog, and the two cats that were in the carrier, named Bandit and frost; Boulder was a pit bull puppy and Aurora the bull dog was also a puppy. Sakura got out of the truck there was only one thing she needed to do before she could take her babies out all five of them. She was a huge animal lover and so was her brother. But she wasn’t going to go to the extreme and stop eating meat, but she was careful of how much she ate and what animal she did eat. This is why she made her own food instead of going out to eat or what not. Sakura walked up to the building and stood in front of the front doors.

Cash wandered into the building, Misty loping on her huge paws by his side. It wasn't unusual for him to keep the dog with him all the time. This time she was off lead, but the leather strap was wound around his neck. He was on the search for a band-aid, for the dog. She had some paper towel duct taped around her left foreleg, and it appeared to be driving her absolutley insane. It was keeping the spot clean and dry, however, and kept her from lapping the triple anti-biotic ointment off the spot. She had broken the skin a few days prior, right around a preexisting hot spot, something she had done out of boredom before Cash had convinced his uncle to mail out some of her toys. The dog was a kook with her toys, the boy wouldn't deny it.

They made their way through the door, a ragged frisbee in her mouth. It warrented a few odd looks, but there was no matter. He was singing softly, another song by his beloved Rush, and teasing the dog as they wandered to the front desk. Yes, they did have a band-aid. Yes, they would give it to him. He promptly knelt, wrapping the bandage so it would cover the cut, which seemed to be healing okay.

Some kind of pictures on the sense o'clock news
Miles of yellow tape, silhouetted chalklines
Tough-talking hood boys in pro-team logo knock-offs
Conform to uniforms of some corporate entity
Don't change that station
It's a Gangsta Nation
Now crime's in syndication on TV

He sang the lines to his dog, voice not sweet and as abnormally high as Geddy's, but hell, he wasn't famous for it. It took him a second, but when he reached down to lay a hand on her brindle back she wasn't there. It took the boy a second to come back down to Earth, but when he dijavascript:add("","")d his dark eyes rested on the blond girl his dog was trying to get throw her frisbee.

"Misty. Off." His command was spoken as just that: A command. His prominent Texas drawl danced, however, with repressed laughter. Her amber eyes flared up with mischevious light and she sat in perfect heal position at the unknown girl's side. "I'm sorry about her. She acts like she doesn't get out of our room ever." He gave the dog a pointed look, then laughed as she returned with a look of resent. "Um, you look lost. Need a hand?" He had been raised to be polite to a lady. This one might be oddly dressed and mildly frightening looking to the Texan, but she was still a lady.

Outfit? Hell yes! See below link for Misty.

Sakura looked around. She had no clue where to go from here. Sakura looked back at the truck where all her babies but one was at. She had brought Destiny with her and left Destiny at the stable. Here in Kentucky they only had a one horse trailer; so Sakura had to pick the horse to go with them on this trip. Her brother said he would drive up here tomorrow with Phantom. She picked Destiny because she knew Destiny had a thing against trailers and long trips. Her brother had brought her out for her to look around and so she could relax outside of the trailer. She smiled and waved at Destiny, Destiny just stood there taking in her surroundings. This was all knew for her, being in a place like this with a lot more horses. Aketo owns three himself; so that is only four horses she had to be around.

Sakura turned back toward the school. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She heard the sound of footsteps coming from inside the building. Sakura opened her eyes to see a dog coming toward her and a guy who she guessed was the dog’s owner. Sakura smiled as she pet the dog, Sakura realized what the dog wanted from her. The dog wanted her to throw the Frisbee that she cared in her mouth. But before she could take it off the dog to throw she heard the dogs owner giving her a command to leave her alone. “Don’t worry it’s fine I love animals and own two dogs myself” Sakura looked at him and smiled. Sakura turned to look at the truck to see both puppies looking out the window at her. “See right over there in the truck. Yes their both puppies and I love them to death. Speaking of death they might be the death of me someday, if not them then one of the other animals I own” Sakura said looking back at him.
Sakura looked at the dog. She wondered what kind of dog it was “If you don’t mind me asking what kind of breed is your dog?” She asked and put her head to the side like a dog would do while she looked at the guy standing before her. Like always her voice held excitement; she didn’t have a Japanese accent like one might think she had because she learned English before any other language. Sakura heard his question about if she was lost or not. “Oh! Well I guess I am; and I guess you already thought that I’m new. If you mean I need someone to help me get to the main office then yes. But if you’re just going to clap your hands sarcastically then I’m good” said Sakura and through the whole time she talked she was wearing a smile and still had the voice of excitement. Sakura took off her sunglasses to see him better. He was somewhat cute but to her just being cute wasn’t an of for her to like him. He seemed a bit unsure of himself; she wasn’t sure if it was because he was shy or if there was another reason for it.

Sakura looked at the ground. There wasn’t much for her to say that would be reasonable at that moment. She could of course introduce herself seeing as how he didn’t. That was one thing she thought everyone did when they met someone new. “My names Sakura, Sakura Takahashi; if you were wondering” said Sakura. She loved her name and wouldn’t want to be named anything different. When she was little she thought it was weird that her father had given her a Japanese name hut didn’t teach her to talk in Japanese as her first language. Later in life she found out that her brother was the one the named her not her father or mother. But then again her mother couldn’t have named her because she died before she had the chance to. But now that she thought about it her mother really was the one who named her. Because her brother told her that was the name her mother wanted her to have. She was glad that her brother spoke up and named her, she wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

Cash eyed the girl. She was cute, he supposed. Perky and talkative… very talkative. Her words spun circles in the air around his head, weaving a bright tapestry of pictures. She was perky, and appeared not to be offended that Misty’s muddy paws had hit her so bluntly. “They’re cute.” He commented, a faint smile pulling at his lips as he burrowed down in his battered bomber jacket, a swirling chill dancing around his face. Just another reminder that another endless summer had come to a close.

“Misty is a Black Mountain Cur dog. She’s a freak, but I love her.” It was probably the longest he would actually speak without pausing. Misty brought a full fledged grin to his face, painting itself on his lips. This girl seemed to have no idea what silence souned like. It was a beautiful sound, some days. Some days, in the immortal words of Matchbox Twenty, if you’ve ever heard that silence it’s a god awful sound. And it made him over think, it made him wonder.

“You see right through my master plan?” He raised one eyebrow, then shook his head, pulling his hair back into his eyes. Again, it made him look like he was about nine years old, thus pissing him off to no end. Especially with the blonde highlights that were naturally just there. Whatever. He would deal eventually.

“I’m Cash. This is Miss Misty. Um yeah, I s’pose we can show you around.” He started to lead the way against the wind to the office. “So Miss Taka--” He tripped over her last name, texas drawl making it nearly impossible to say. “Sakura. Where are you from?” He tried to make conversation, but this so wasn’t his forte.

Sakura looked at him and smiled. Hearing his words about her dogs; to her they were the cutest little things in the world. She turned around hearing a door open to see that her brother had let Aurora out and that Boulder didn’t want to leave the truck just yet. Aurora came bounding over to her dragging the leach behind her. Sakura smiled at her brother for letting her out. Sakura Pick up the leach when Aurora came close an of. Aurora greeted the new dog by going over to the other dog and sniffing her. “This is Aurora, as you can see she’s a bull dog” she introduced her to him.

Sakura looked behind her to make sure any of her other pets weren’t going to follow her without her knowing; but no one else followed. Sakura felt a slight breeze in the wind and shivered. She now wished she had set aside a jacket before she packed everything. Sakura smiled at him when he had replied with her knowing his master plan. “I can read your mind” She said back playfully. He then heard him say that he would show her around." “Oh really? Thank you! You don’t have to if you don’t want to I can manage” she said in a quick reply. She then remembered Aurora “oh! Do you mind if she tags along, if you do I can ask my brother to put her back in the truck” said Sakura not wanting to be rude that she was going to bring her puppy with her. Sakura heard his question asking her where she came from " I'm from Virginia but born into a Japanese family. But I was born in New York" she answered his question without second thought.
