The sky was cloudy today in the land of the rising sun. Yet the yellow ball of fire still manged to poke out from behind them.
In Tokyo Hotaru Tomoe begins her journey home from another hard day at as school. She was use to this ritual by now with Michiru and Haruka at work and school. Along with Setsuna's departure from the house sacrifices had to be made.
Hotaru decided to take the long way home through the park. With it being spring the cherry blossom would be in full bloom and look amazing. The lass couldn't help but smile as she admired the wonderful trees all around her the petals drifting from the branches and falling slowly to the ground resembling snow.
Hotaru closed her eyes letting the cool breeze play with her dark purple hair while enhancing the wonderful smell of the blossoms. Tears came to young one's eyes as she remembered a memory from a past visit to this place.
Flash back:
With school done for the day Hotaru gathered up her things ran out to the gate to see Setsuna waiting for her with a warm smile on her face. The two decided to head into the park it would take them long to get home but neither of them seemed to mind. Hotaru was too busy looking up at the cherry blossoms trees her eyes lost in their beauty.
"They look wonderful Setsuna-mama." lass said.
"Yes coming here during this time a day one can truly enjoy company of the cherry blossoms" Setsuna said.
Hotaru smiled as she danced around and a cool breeze shook the trees letting the cherry petals encircle the young teen for a few moments before fall to the ground. Setsuna smile but Hotaru looked confused.
"Oh young one the trees merely wanted to dance with you come along we better get going." The green haired lass said.
Hotaru nodded and took a hold of Setsuna hand and the two began the trip back home.
End of flash back.
"Beautiful aren't they?" a gentle voice asked.
Hotaru opened her eyes to see a young woman with golden blond hair and sea blue eyes and wearing a snowy white dress.
"Yes they are." Hotaru replied.
"I'm sorry if I have frighten you but it's not everyday that you find some one so young that truly appreciates the wonders of the blossoms." The blond said.
Hotaru nodded she found a bench and sat down resting her tired legs. The young woman sat down beside her. Hotaru felt strange round this woman her aura felt some warm and inviting like she can trust her with anything.
"You seem unhappy." The blond said.
Hotaru didn't know how to respond with her school mates she would shrug it off and change the subject but here with her it seem she couldn't or didn't want to say anything else but the truth. "
Just a good life that fell a part." The young one replied.
"Hmm...well you do know the story of cherry blossoms don't you?" The blond asked.
"No." Hotaru said.
"It's said that if you close your eyes and make wish underneath the cherry blossom trees that it may come true." The woman said.
"That's kids stuff." dark purple haired teen replied.
"Hey even us young adults still believe in kid stuff." The blond lass said.
Hotaru smiled it was strange to believe what she was hearing but even if it was a myth it was worth a try. The young teen stood up she took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
"Wish from your heart what you truly want." The women said.
Hotaru though back to the times of happiness when it was the four of them Michiru, Haruka, Setsuna and her self. The laughter they shared along joy they felt even the pain they struggled through. The young teen nodded she knew what she wanted her wish to be.
"I wish for my family to be back together the way they used to be." Hotaru said aloud.
Moments later a huge gust of wind barred through the park and rattled the trees and the cherry blossom petals encircling all round her sending an aura of calm over the child.
Soon the wind was gone and so was the blond woman. Hotaru looked down at her watch her eyes widen she was late. The lass ran from the park heading home hoping not to get scolded again.
Walking out from behind one of the cherry blossom tree was the blond woman with a smile on her face.
"Your wish has been granted." She said.
A light breeze passed through and a swirl of blossoms engulfed her and she was gone.
