A/N Just another one-shot I wrote up. It's a bit short, but I think that it only makes the story better. The longer it got, the more it seemed to lose it's feel. The character could be whoever you wanted but it was wriiten with Sakurako in mind (since there aren't alot of fics with her). Enjoy!


She smiled sadly as she watched everyone have a good time. It seemed as if the joyous mood had gotten to everyone but her. So typical. Silently she sipped her drink as her eyes scanned the room. The bright lights and elegant decorations made the room and its occupants glow. Everything was going well and she couldn't have been happier…actually that was a lie. But since the only way she was going to be happier would never happen, this was the happiest she could be. A frown went on her face at that thought. Now was definitely not the time to be thinking about it.

Sighing she pushed off the wall and headed out the side doors into the secluded garden. She slowly made her way over to the patch of moon flowers growing by the small pond. Sitting down, feet fully submerged, she leaned back and looked at the sky.

The stars lit up the sky and as she found Orion's belt, she silently told herself the story that accompanied the constellation. She could only silently laugh at herself, at how similar she was to Orion, always chasing something she could never catch, something that would always be out of her reach.

She told various stories for different constellations for the rest of the party, the pure cheerfulness and joy was too much for her. Sure she wished all of them the best, but for that one moment, it was just too much.

Gathering up her skirt, she rose and headed back into the room. Entering her eyes automatically scanned around, trying to locate one person. As her eyes landed on him, she smiled, happy to see the grin on his face.

At that one moment in time, she would go through it again. The pain, the sorrow, the tears and the heartache. She would go through it again, just to see that smile on his face. And for that one moment in time, it was all worth it, every bit of it.
