“Ouch!”
I said as I rubbed a huge bump on my head. I looked around and saw piles of
books and papers on the floor. Then I saw another girl who was about the same
age as me lying on the floor. My friends helped me up and I went to help her
up.
I asked,” Are you all right?”
She
replied, “ I’m okay! What about you?”
For
a moment, I took a good look at her. Wow, she must be one of the cutest girls
around. She was about as tall as me, has long flowing white hair, with sea-blue
eyes and has the fairest skin I had ever seen.
I
nodded and said, “ Wow! I have never seen a girl like you with long white
hair.”
We
stood there waiting for her reply. But she stood there looking
dumbstruck.
Tomoyo-chan
asked, “ What’s wrong?”
She
pointed at the direction of my wings and stammered,” You…
you… are… o…one… of…
the…
Angels!”
Syaoran-kun
exclaimed,” You can see them too?”
She
nodded and said shakily,” Come to my house and I will
explain.”
We
began clearing up the mess that we had made just now…
After reaching and going into her house…
“Whew!
Lucky my parents aren’t home. If they see you, they would probably die of
shock!
By the way, my name is Sakura Miko. Call me Miko and my surname is
Sakura.”
Miko-chan smiled weakly.
I started introducing ourselves and all of us, expect
Miko-chan, sat down to talk. She walked swiftly to one of her wooden shelves
and
took out a thick and dusty book. Then, she began explaining, “ When I was
little, my parents used to tell me about the legend of the Sakura Angels. Those
who were chosen to be Sakura Angels will grow purple wings when the time is
ripe. In this book, it is said that among all of the Sakura Angels.
There’s one
who will be the leader. That also means that the leader is the strongest one of
all. And when the purple wings are fully-grown, they will be brought to another
world forever. When they are gone, somebody will be replacing his or her places
forever. These purple wings will take two months to grow. But the strongest one
of all will only take one week for the wings to grow.”
She
motioned us to crowd around her while she flipped through the pages to show us
something. Finally she stopped and said, “ These are the pictures of the
Sakura
Angels that will be there. And they are born in that world and had never seen
this world before.”
We
scanned through the contents of the book and for the moment we were too shocked
to speak. These pictures are the faces of all the people I know! Miko-chan
sighed loudly and said, “ I knew your reaction will be shock. I
know… These
pictures are the people you know, right? They may look alike on the outside but
their character is different. The person who will be replacing you will also
have a different.”
Miko-chan
began flipping through the pages and stopped again. She said, “ This is
the page
where people from this world who will go to the other world. Thrae is name of
that planet.”
Slowly,
I walked back to my seat and sat down. Why me? Why must I be chosen? So once
I’m
gone, somebody would take over me and I won’t be able to see my loved
ones
again… I won’t be the one walking with Yukito-san every morning. I
won’t be the
one wishing my friends in my class “ Good Morning!” Hot tears began
streaming
down my cheeks. I looked out the sky at the window. It’s raining. Would
this be
the last rainy day that I will see? Miko-chan said that the people in Thrae
have
different characters. Does this mean that my one and only Tomoyo-chan would
treat me differently? I stared at my friends who are with me right now; I guess
they didn’t know what to say.
Tomoyo-chan
put a comforting arm around me and said, “ Sakura-chan…”
The
more I thought about it, the more I would feel afraid and lonely. I could feel
more tears streaming down my cheeks. I stood up abruptly and ran out of the
house.
I began running on the path and heading straight home.
Suddenly, I stopped and screamed, “ WHY! WHY MUST THIS HAPPEAN TO ME!
WHY! THIS
IS SO UNFAIR! WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG IN MY LIFE! THIS IS MY HOME! THIS PLACE
WILL ALWAYS BE MY HOME! AND NOBODY CAN CHANGE THIS FACT!”
“I
know and I understand. And this isn’t your fault.” A voice said
gently behind
me.
I
turned around with my face full of tears. I whispered, “
Syaoran-kun?”
Syaoran-kun
walked towards me and said gently, “ Cry your hearts out, Sakura. You
will feel
better. ”
I
rested my head on his shoulders and cry even harder. Then, I feel his arms
around. He began pulling me closer.
I
felt someone tapping me on my shoulder. “Onii-chan!” I exclaimed.
And I felt
Syaoran-kun’s arms began to let go of me.
“Sakura,
what are you standing so close to that koso?” Onii-chan narrowed his eyes
at me.
I
lied, “ Err… The ground is slippery and I fell. Syaoran-kun helped
me up.” I
tried to look as innocent as possible. But Syaoran-kun was blushing
away.
“And
where’s your umbrella? Didn’t you bring one?” Onii-chan asked
suspiciously.
“
Today we had to stay back after school to do a project. While Syaoran-kun and I
are walking home from school, it rained. Tomoyo-chan was sick today so she
couldn’t walk home with us today.” I lied again.
He
said, “ Lucky I brought a spare one today.” Onii-chan took out one
from his bag
and shoved it into Syaoran-kun’s hands and said again, “ Koso! Take
this and go
home now before you catch a cold. Sakura, let’s go home
now.”
I
waved Syaoran-kun goodbye and we began to go home.
The next day in school…
“ Morning, everybody!” I said to everybody as I came into
my classroom.
“
Morning, Sakura-chan!” said Tomoyo-chan as I sat down.
“Hoe?
Where’s Syaoran-kun?” I asked curiously.
“
He caught a cold from yesterday’s rain.” Tomoyo-chan
replied.
Yikes!
He got a cold all because of me! I said worriedly, “ Let’s visit
him
today.”
