ok, here's the first chapter of Singer's Heart!
Sakura Kinomoto stared out the window to the rain outside. Another Valentine's Day, and once again, she thought wryly, I don't have anyone. She sighed, looking at the lyrics for her latest song. She stood, giving up on the half-written monster. Her almost shoulder length auburn hair covered her emerald eyes as she glanced once more at the impossible lyrics. She was 17 years old, and was slightly taller than most girls her age. She had a perfect figure, and she wore custom-made pale green t-shirt with darker jeans made by her best friend.
Walking over to her bed, she flopped down and stared at the ceiling. Of course, the minute she did this, she thought of a perfect finish to the song. (AN: don't you hate it when that happens? Always happens to me…)
Writing the last line, she quickly reread her song. She couldn't decide what to call it, so she put it in her folder of songs to show her designer/manager/best friend, Tomoyo Daidouji. Throwing the folder in a bag, she ran outside to her friend's house, two blocks away.
Tomoyo heard the doorbell, and she ran to get it, her waist length midnight hair flying out behind her. She was the same height as Sakura, and her violet eyes glowed with joy, for she knew it was Sakura at the door. Not bothering to say hi, she grabbed Sakura's hand and pulled her up the stairs to the recording room.
"Konichiwa, Tomoyo," Sakura said dully,used to her friend's odd actions, prefering simply topull out her new music.
"Oooh, konichiwa Sakura!" Tomoyo said brightly,knowing Sakura had new music,and setting up the microphone so that she could hold the video camera...to tape Sakura. "What's this one?"
Sakura held up the song she had written not ten minutes ago. "I thought we could call it 'Rain', but I'm not sure."
"Well, sing it!"
"Ok, here goes…" Sakura took a deep breath, and sang.
Walking down an empty road
Thinking 'bout the songs we wrote
Trying to find the answer for
This feeling in my heart
Walking through a deadening world
Hoping I'll not wander here
Waiting for your safe embrace
And thinking 'bout my life
I've been living in a lie
Although I don't know why
Wandering through rain
Hoping for a day
When I'll not cry
Hoping for a day
A day with no tears
I've been running from the light
Searching in a lie, in a dream
Looking for your eyes
So I'll not cry
But you left me here
Crying all alone
Crying in the rain
Why can't I stop these tears?
I've been living in a lie
Although I don't know why
Wandering through rain
Hoping for a day
When I'll not cry
Hoping for a day
A day with no tears
I'm still standing here
Waiting on the sidewalk
Crying in the rain
And waiting for the day
The day with no tears
The day when I don't cry
The day I see a reason to live
And smile at the sky
Asher voicefaded away,tears ran freelydown her face. Tomoyo looked at her sympathetically. "You're still crying for him?" she asked. "Still crying for Syaoran?"
Sakura nodded. She wiped her tears away, thinking about that day when she lost Syaoran forever…
Flashback
Ten year old Sakura and Syaoran were walking by a river, with the rain falling around them. Syaoran's arm was around Sakura's waist, and she leaned happily against him. They were talking about nothing, really, just enjoying each other's presence. The cars raced by on the road to their left, and the river rushed on their right. They stood between, taking their time as they walked along.
A car came up behind them, and the driver lost control. Syaoran pushed Sakura out of the way, and the car slammed into him. Both car and boy fell into the river, and Syaoran was pinned against the bottom of the river by the car. The man in the car jumped out, trying to push the car off Syaoran. Sakura tried to help, but when they got the car off him, his body floated away, down the river.
End Flashback
Sakura had been told, two days later, that his body was found, and he was dead. She wasn't allowed to see his body, and his family refused to let her come to his funeral. They all believed that it was her fault that their next leader was killed. Sakura became a singer one month later, and her songs had become sadder and sadder with time. Tomoyo had watched as her best friend faded away, becoming not even a shadow of the cheerful girl she had once been.
Sakura's shoulders shook as more tears came. Tomoyo was helpless, and all she could do was hold her heartbroken friend as she cried. Syaoran, wherever you are, you had better come back…she needs you still.
