Chapter One: Dance of Introductions
By Ranma Inverse
Author's notes: This was also another story begging to be written. Sorry...T.T...I know I need to work more on my other stories, but I will! I promise! I'll work on all of these, really really hard. ^_^ I love to write, so it isn't a problem. If you want me to write past this chapter, then you have to review! The more reviews, the harder I work to get the fanfic out to the readers. ^.^

The audience cheered as the enchanting dance ended, and awaited the next dance...which would be starting in five minutes. The young girl who had just finished her own dance, curstied and left the stage, to meet her best friend, clapping softly but enthusiastically for her. The young girl brushed blonde bangs away from her face that was framed by blonde hair cut to a little below her chin, and blinked her evergreen eyes at her happy friend.
"Good job, Sakura!" Her friend said, and they left the side of the stage and going behind it, where the rest of the band of entertainers were that they worked with. Sakura's friend, equally as enchanting as her, had hair of a raven's feathers that fell in silky waves down a little past her waist, with warm blue eyes.
"Tomoyo, you're dance was far better than mine. It's name is even better, too! 'Dance of the Raven.'" Sakura stated, making Tomoyo giggle.
"Sakura, you know as well as I do that we make up the name of the dance from what it represents or the mood it's supposed to enchant the audience into thinking like. I like your 'Dance of the Cherryblossom' better...especially when you use the power of illusion to make the people feel like cherryblossom petals are falling from the sky and the warm temperature of the room changes cooler slightly, making you feel like you're watching Cherryblossoms dance in the wind..." Tomoyo twirled around and put her hands together, sighing. "You're dances are much better than mine."
They stood there arguing until the next dance was about to start. Tomoyo jumped as the music started. "Quick, Sakura! This time my brother is dancing!" Sakura had never known this, her eyes wide as she followed to side of the stage, covered by a curtain as they watched a young boy dance. Sakura whispered to Tomoyo that she had never known Tomoyo had a brother, and Tomoyo apologized for never mentioning. Then their attention turned fully to the boy on stage.
The young boy, though older than Tomoyo and Sakura, had already enchanted the audience, who were watching his every move. Everywhere the boy stepped a spark of light would appear on the stage, eventually forming a gyspy-like sun. It gave Sakura the feeling of a sunrise...
Tomoyo glanced in her best friends direction and smiled. Entranced by the music...or entranced by her older brother? She giggled quietly. Her brother had short, silk-like black hair and deep, enchanting dark blue eyes. He wore a white shirt with silver bands around his wrists, hiding where the shirt sleeves ended. A purple sash was wrapped firmly around his waist, the ends of the tie swinging in the air as he twirled and stepped, his billowy pants black, with silver bands around his ankles, hiding where the pants ended, with soft brown boots covering his feet.
"Pardon me for saying this, Tomoyo, but your brother dances even better than you." Sakura whispered as the dance ended to her friend. Tomoyo giggled and smiled, nodding.
"Tomoyo, you should've told me you had such a dazzling wonder for a close friend." The voice was warm and charming. Sakura turned and gasped, stepping back, then blushing. Tomoyo smiled (once again) and giggled (once again.).
"May I have the honor of knowing your name?" Eriol bowed and took her hand, giving it a light kiss and looking up at her. Sakura was speechless. One only treated another person as such if they were of high rank...and she was but a dancer!
"My brother made an effort to learn a gentleman's manners." Tomoyo put a hand on her older brother's shoulder. "You do realize you're making her horribly embarrassed." Sakura blushed deeper as Tomoyo spoke. Eriol did not laugh, he simply stood up straight and smiled at her charmingly.
"I'm Kinomoto Sakura, it's nice to have met you." Sakura bowed her head slightly, a little discouraged. She had no way to sound as nice as the two siblings.
The booming voice of their Enfuido (their "boss" or "leader" in a way, also like a "mother/father".) rang through the stage and behind once everyone in the audience had left. "Eriooll! Tomoyoo! Come here at once!"
Tomoyo smiled with a sweatdrop forming and began running towards where the voice had come from, while Eriol stayed a moment longer, smiling at Sakura. "A pleasure to meet a soon to be student." He bowed and ran off after his little sister.
Sakura blinked, confused. Soon to be student? "Hoee?" She then heard their Enfuido call her name and she ran in the direction Tomoyo and Eriol had.
Their Enfuido was a very stubborn elf, while most of the people living on Terra were human, some were elves. The other races had become extinct along time ago--like the dream-dancers. That race was such an old and ancient one, most people nowadays suspected it to be a myth. The race's name had also been forgotten, so had been called 'dream-dancers' for their power. Sakura sighed as their Enfuido came into view. Why couldn't they still exist? What had possessed their human and elven ancestors to have destroyed that race, as the records claimed? She had no time to continue thinking as their Enfuido turned from Tomoyo and Eriol to Sakura.
Enfuido's name was really Meiling, but few new of it. Meiling pointed to Eriol, her stubborn, daring eyes stopping anyone from speaking before she did, and brushed black-grey hair away from her face. Meiling was getting too old for an entertaining group. Soon she would have to let someone take over, and she had two people in mind, but she wasn't exactly sure yet.
"Eriol has agreed to teach you, Sakura, the manners, behavior, and dances you will have to learn to become one of the best. Good enough to entertain nobles, kings and queens, I might add. But if I hear that Eriol is having any trouble with you, I'm going to stop your lessons. This is not a right, it is a priveledge." Meiling spoke.
Sakura's eyes widened in suprise and happiness, and gave out a squeal of joy. She ran to Meiling and hugged her. "Thank you, Enfuido! Thank you!"
"Get off me!" Was all Sakura would get for a your welcome, as the band of entertainers knew well. Sakura laughed and let go, running to Eriol.
"Thank you Eriol!" She bowed her head and then tilted it up to him, smiling happily. He was half a head taller than she, but that was to be expected..he was two years older than her, after all.
