First Story: Cinderella
I loved him.
He knew. But he left anyways.
I'll come back he promised. That much I knew, this was his home after all. And as stated above, I loved him.
Maybe you'll be strong enough to accompany me on shorter missions he laughed. This irked me. He always looked down on me. For good reason probably. It was mostly him that put his life on the line trying to protect me from whatever was making me cry. He had done so since the early days of our childhood.
I'll wait for you then. He knew that, but I said the words anyways. Everything always seemed so much more concrete that way. Besides, with him, you could never really depend on what you thought he felt like.
So those were his parting words. Maybe you'll be strong enough... I felt the underlying meaning in that sentence, and that laughed that followed it. He was telling me that he'd always have to protect me, that I was going to be a burden if I followed him. Not that I had the skills to track him to his teacher's place anyways. That was the hard part, angry that he said those things but so aggravating when I knew it was true. I couldn't do anything to help him except offer him emotional support and even those times were rare. He had so much confidence in himself and his skills. He'd be even more so after his training.
For now, I could do nothing. Say nothing. When I watched his fast retreating form, not looking back of course, I was useless to him. I had nothing to offer him but my love. But when I walked away from the front gates, not looking back of course, I knew I would get stronger.
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark cold dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come set me free
I don't wanna be like someone waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
Oh no will survive
Unless someone's on my side
Don't wanna be
No, no, no one else,
I'd rather rescue m y s e l f.
Author's Note
I've
started another story even though I haven't updated my other fanfics
in ages. XP It's not really one of those oneshot songfics because I
don't really like those. The idea of it was all my own but in my
searching for a title I stumbled upon several AMVs (hooray for anime
music videos!) I loved the Sakura ones using this song and I felt it
it fit her perfectly. The titile for the general theme of it, Girl
Saves Boy, is from Shoujo Beat magazine. The article was in Cultures
& Trends and named Heroines in Peril:Shojo babes turn the tables
by Shaeono K. Garrity. The particular section that caught my
attention was Girl Saves Boy. "
This is a much less common
scenario in shojo manga. Sure, shojo heroines often 'save' a guy they
like by lending moral support...But only occasionally does a girl get
to physically swoop down and rescue her crush from certain death..."
I'm thinking of doing a side thing to this, also inspired by the same
article, the section being Girl Saves Girl. "Fortunately, there
will always be those heroines who go above and beyond to defend the
sisterhood." Hopefully I can keep this short story 'short' although that rarely succeeds.Enjoy! Oh, and please reviewflames will be used to make ramen
