Chapter 1: The Legal Start

Melody Number One:
It was hot outside

But I felt so cold

As blood was dripping down…

---

Tomoyo always felt the need to scold me, especially about my obsession with this stranger. Oh wait, she liked to call it an obsession. But what do I like to call it? Love. Simple love.

And now I'm guessing you probably want to know who this stranger is that I'm so in love with! Well, his name is… his name is… uhh… well… How can I say this?

I don't know his name…

I know what you're thinking! How can I love someone without knowing their name! Well, you know what? You can love someone without knowing their name! Okay?! And I'm proof that it's possible. And no, I'm not someone who is just totally obsessed with a random stranger! I've been watching for almost every single day for two years already!

Do I sound like a stalker?

And if your answer is no, then I humbly thank you. But if you said yes… Believe me! I'm not a stalker! I'm not that kind of girl! Or should I say women?

Anyways, we're really straying off topic. Let's get back to the main point. This stranger is a total hottie. Is that enough? Well, I guess not. He's really nice, from my observant for these two whole years!

And now I'm guessing you want to know how we met?

Well, I met him exactly two years ago on this same day. August the twenty first. It's our anniversary. Even though he isn't aware of it but at least I remember.

I remember that day clearly. It was bright and sunny, and it was a nice cool day for this season of the summer. Being the loner that I am, I was ditched by all my friends, including my family on this nice summer day! Feeling sad and left out, I decided to take a walk to the park and talk to the pigeons. I mean, they'll stay with me as long as I feed them right? So that was exactly what I was planning to do.

Feed pigeons.

So, with a container of bread and cracker crumbs, I headed off to the park.

Ah, the lovely park, where all children played with other children and where everyone relaxed. Where everyone with someone. How I secretly loathed these people.

Although of course I was thinking of all this unconsciously!

Well anyways, so there I was, sitting on a bench alone, and feeding the pigeons who ate happily. Oh geez, isn't this what old men do when they have nothing better to do with their lives?!

Okay, fine. I agree with the part where I have nothing better to do with my life, but I am certainly not an old man! I am a woman!

But here's the sad part.

My fingers automatically reached into the container seeing as there weren't much food left for the pigeons that decided to gather around me. But all I felt was the surface of the cool plastic. Do you know what that means? Do you know what that means?!

All my food for the pigeons is gone! Gone!

And since there wasn't anymore food for the pigeons, they all left… one by one. Since they figured that someone else probably has better food than me and there was no use staying here any longer.

And there I was. Alone. Once again.

Oh the tragedy!

But that was when my day took a turn for the better! When my life took a turn for the better!

I heard a loud laugh. And it was cheerful. So being the bitter person I was at that time, I just had to look for the source of that oh-so-cheerful laugh.

And when I found him.

My heart skipped a beat.

His shining amber eyes. His messy chestnut hair. His sexy smile.

I couldn't take my eyes off him.

I almost thought that Kami-sama sent an angel down to earth for me. But of course, I was wrong.

But I didn't care!

He was the sexiest thing on this planet. Scratch that. He was the sexiest person in the whole universe! Nothing could compare to him. The way he laughed. Smiled. Walked.

I was in a total trance. And to this day, I still think that I haven't snapped out of it.

Although I noticed that he was talking cheerfully to the elderly. That just totally means that he's nice. I mean, what kind of twenty something year old man would stop by and have a little chat with the elderly? Apparently this guy. See? He's so nice!

And I knew that this was love at first sight.

But when I told Tomoyo all this.

Do you know what she did?

She laughed at me!

She laughed at me!

What kind of friend laughs at their friend when they finally found love at first sight?! That's just not nice!

But I'm guessing you know what I did for the next two years right?

Every day, at the same time, I would walk to the park, and sit where I last sat and wait for him to appear. And you know what? Everyday he would appear! Everyday he would stop by at the park and chat with the elderly for a little while before he begins his merry way. But I never followed him after he left the park. Because, of course, I'm not a stalker.

I would just look at him from afar from where I sit.

And yes, I've been doing that every single day since I first met him.

Does that seem extreme to you?

Well, I don't care. Don't take any offense.

But I would always, and continuously tell Tomoyo about all of this, and somehow, in the end, the guy was nicknamed Mr. Dream Guy. Don't you think it's cute?

So yeah, that was how I met him.

Umm… do you think it's pathetic?

I might cry if you say yes, but I really like him. I can't say love yet, since I think I have to get to know him better for me to love him. Because to love someone, I think you can do anything for them. And I'm not exactly at that stage yet. So ya!

Do you also want to know what one of Tomoyo's lectures for me is? She continuously tells me to come back to reality. If I really like him that much, I should just go up and tell him. But does she have any idea how hard it is to even say hi to the person you like?! Does she?!

But I don't really blame her. You see, Tomoyo was always the lucky one. Not only is she smart, she's pretty! Inside and out. She's like a perfect character in an anime series! Except maybe for her little strange moments. But anyways, with her flawless skin and lovely violet tresses, throughout high school and university, she was always extremely popular. She's always had boys after her. Whether it was love letters, presents, chocolates… She was always really popular back then.

Not that she isn't popular now, but she claims that she's still looking for Mr. Right.

Who isn't?

But whether she'll ever find him or not I have no idea. I mean, Tomoyo's standards are pretty high. And as for me… well… I really just want someone who truly loves me and cares for me. Every girls dream right?

But since Tomoyo still hasn't found her Mr. Right yet, it makes me wonder if I'll ever find mine.

Unless… it's Mr. Dream Guy!

Oh gosh! You know what I realized? I've just been rambling on about my life! I haven't properly introduced myself yet!

My name is Kinomoto Sakura. I'm twenty-three years old. I am currently desperately looking for a job, since I've just graduated from Tokyo University. You must think I'm pretty smart, graduating from Tokyo University, but that's not the case… the only reason why I'm there is that I received a lovely scholarship… for my music talent. The only reason that makes me Kinomoto Sakura.

So I basically graduated with a major degree in Music.

And I'm guessing you're probably wondering what instrument I play?

Well, I can play some actually. I'm quite good at the flute, I think if you count at the age of when I started playing to how old I'm now, then I'm guessing around ten years. Do you think that's long? But it's just so much fun playing it that time just flies by.

Another instrument I play is the violin. And I've been playing this instrument longer than the flute! So… thirteen years I believe. I just love the sound that this instrument produces.

I also play the piano. Yes, I also play another instrument. But not only have I been playing this instrument the longest, this instrument is also my most favourite! So let's see… since I started playing the piano when I was six… then I've been playing it for seventeen years! Wow, that's pretty long! I'm surprised myself, since I've never actually calculated how long I've been playing.

And lately, I've been picking up a habit of composing my own music! It's just so much fun trying to write music! I always have fun with the melody, although it sometimes gets a bit shaky with the harmony but I manage to pull through.

So basically, those are my only talents. Sadly, but I'm happy! I love music! Although really, I definitely don't look like I'm musically talented. Actually, I look like I'm just some stupid klutz that's just so untalented that it's unbelievable. So I'm glad I'm musically talented.

Gosh, I've realized that I've been rambling on and on about my music talent! I assure you, I'm not trying show off, and I'm just proving to you how untalented I am, since, ahem, music is my only talent.

--

Yes!

It's the beginning of a new day! And you know what that means? Another day of being able to meet Mr. Dream Guy again!

But just at the thought of him, my heart skips a beat. Is this what people call love? I wonder…

But Tomoyo makes fun of me. The only good thing about Mr. Dream Guy right now is that he helps me wake up early, since if I want to watch him longer, then I have to wake up earlier.

So, humming an upbeat tune of a recently new piece that I've composed, I skip my way to bathroom. But even though I don't feel tired at all, and I'm in a totally happy mood, I nearly scream at the sight of myself in the mirror.

This… is really me right?

My hair is in total chaos… I can't even begin where I should start describing my hair. But not only that! I have panda eyes! Big panda eyes! Was this due to the fact that I stayed up late last night surfing through the internet looking for available jobs? Oh well… I guess five hours of sleep isn't enough for me.

Let me tell you this, my body simply loves to sleep. So when I don't get at least twelve hours of sleep, I'll end up with panda eyes. But then again, even if I do sleep for twelve hours… I still might get little panda eyes. Sad really.

So heaving a sigh, I tried to make my hair look normal again… or at least decent to human standards anyways. So here I am, desperately trying to get my auburn hair to straighten out again. Well, after five minutes of absolute hell, I managed to make my hair look okay. And since I went through such hell just to get my hair to look okay, I decided to tie it up in a ponytail.

Looking in the mirror, I smiled, satisfied with my work. My long auburn hair was pull back into a tight ponytail right at the back of my head, with my bangs hanging over my left eye. I nodded at my work.

I guess this is what I get from Tomoyo's constant rage over my clothes, hair, make up and so on. Not that I wear a lot of make up though…

Next, I proceeded to splash my face with cold water then brush my teeth afterwards. Done with my washroom duties, I walked out feeling refreshed. I walked into my room and changed out of my pajamas and into some outside clothes. I grabbed my mini side bag placed next to my bed, and put it on.

Skipping out of my room, I headed to the doors where breakfast was being served. Walking in, I was met with the smell of fresh pancakes and syrup. Squealing, I ran to sit down at an unoccupied seat just as a plate of pancakes were placed in front of me.

I smiled looking up.

"Otou-san, arigatou!" I said, as Otou-san smiled back at me.

"Ohayou Sakura," Otou-san replied back before returning to the kitchen to make more pancakes.

That's my father if you're wondering. He's really nice! Although, it's kind of sad, since he isn't home all that much since he's an architect, so he goes away a lot. But I know he does this all for the sake of me… us.

"Itadakimasu!" I yelled cheerfully before wolfing down all the pancakes in a mere thirty seconds.

"That's a kaijuu for you," a voiced snickered in front of me.

Well, you don't really want to know who this person is. But if you really want to know then I guess I have no choice but to just tell you. His name is Kinomoto Touya. A pain in the ass if I do say so myself. And sadly he's also my brother…

"Urusai!" I snapped back at him. What can I say? I usually lose my control around him. He always just has to make my mornings bad.

"Oh, touchy," Touya replied back.

Sticking my tongue out at him, I collected my plates and fork and walked over to the sink and placed them in, rinsing them, and placing them back in the appropriate cabinet after drying them.

"That's all you're eating Sakura?" the gentle voice behind me asked.

"Hai," I said, placing a kiss on Otou-san's cheek. "Idikimasu."

"Itterashai."

Then I started walking out of the kitchen, but of course not before shooting at glare in Touya's direction.

"Itterashai kaijuu."

I hissed at him before leaving the kitchen completely.

Touya just always loved to ruin my mornings. But luckily it was always saved by my hero. Or in Tomoyo's words, Mr. Dream Guy.

Walking to the park, I began to hum happily, new tunes forming in my mind.

I always look forward to this time of the day the most! The time where I can forget almost everything and stare at his sexy smiling face!

Reaching the park, I sat down at my usual bench and looked around for Mr. Dream Guy but he was no where in sight. Giving a little sigh of disappointed, I leaned back on the bench and relaxed for a little bit, enjoying the warm breeze. And I closed my eyes.

The most exciting part of my day has just arrived, but it seems that the problem is the most exciting person in that exciting part of my day has not arrived yet. Well, people always said that patience is a virtue. What is a virtue anyways? You see, when I claimed that music was my only talent… I wasn't lying…

And even that talent was limited to certain instruments…

Opening my eyes, I skillfully scanned the park yet again. Mr. Dream Guy was still no where in sight. Sighing, I stood up to go for a little walk. No hurt in walking for a little while since I'm waiting for Mr. Dream Guy to show up right? Of course not!

I aimlessly walked around the park.

Where is he? He usually comes! The only time when he doesn't come is when the weather is really, really bad, but today is so nice! Why isn't he here?

Maybe he's just busy and can't come today… I mean… he has his own life unlike me…

Sighing, I slowly walked out of the park, since I have this feeling that he won't be showing up today. I guess today is my unlucky day… unlucky indeed.

What's that funny smell…?

Peeking down the street, I turned the corner and was met with a wave of police cars, ambulances, paramedics and some other people.

What happened? Was there a fire or car crash?

But then I was hit full force with pain in my heart as I recognized someone. But it wasn't just someone. It was that person that I've longed for every day for these past two years. It was that person who I suddenly had a feeling that I wouldn't be able to meet him in the park today. Boy, how right I was when I thought that.

But what made me more afraid was that he was covered in blood.

Tears seemed to have stung my eyes as I made my way through the crowd, pushing random people out of my way so I can get to him faster. But I was stopped by a policeman at the yellow tape.

"Sorry, citizens can't pass through," the policeman said.

What? I can't pass through? But… but…!

Panic flashed through my eyes as the tears seemed to have finally fallen.

"But… but… I know him!" I almost shouted. I wasn't really lying. I really did know him… I see him everyday, I just don't know him name and everything else about him.

"Do you know him miss?" a paramedic shouted in my direction, pointing to the bloody body that he was wheeling to the ambulance quickly.

I eagerly nodded my head, not trusting my own voice.

"What is he to you?" He asked again.

"I'm his… his… fiancée…"

And the next thing I knew, I was in the ambulance holding onto his bloody hand.

AN: Well, what do you think? Should I continue? Or should I stop? Oh, and sorry if there's any grammar mistakes, I looked if over once, but I don't think that was enough since my editing skills are horrible. So please review and tell me what you think! I'll to update maybe once every two weeks, but I somewhat doubt I can keep up with my own goals.

Chapter 2: The Legal Fiancée

Melody Number Two:

I breathed in slowly

As you breathed in slowly

And held your hand

--

This is it.

Somehow, I always thought that I'd never be this close to him. I always just seem to like him at a distance and I never really thought that I'd be so close to him. Touch him. My world almost seemed to freeze around me as I took one step closer to him. But as each step took me closer to him, I realized that I couldn't stop myself anymore. My heart was falling for him like there was no tomorrow, and I can't stop myself now.

I couldn't turn back.
