Worthless Wait

Chapter 1

Before you say anything, just let me tell you something first – "DON'T".

I'm not a bad person… really. If you take away the black clothes, the heavily applied dark make-up, the unblinking eyes and the gun inside my pocket; you would be left with a pretty much normal young woman (if not blind).

Why?

Let me explain my attire. Black clothes – I have developed a liking to dark colours in general recently; dark make-up – to cover up the bags caused by sleepless nights; unblinking eyes – I'm pretty much void of any emotions. It's like I'm living inside an air-tight balloon, I can't get out and nothing can get in. You people may find it boring, but it suits me just fine. There are already enough dramatic saddos out there in the world without me adding to the list.

Huh? Oh yes, of course… the gun. This is why I'm saying you shouldn't say anything. Ok fine, I am planning to use it on someone. And again ok, maybe it's not her fault. But whatever, she deserves it; or rather, because she got involved with a certain someone, she now deserves what she's going to get.

It's a long story really, and to be honest, I don't even why I'm even bothering. I mean, I don't even care about her or him. After all, that was their plan all along, to hurt me. Well, bastard and bitch, sorry to tell you but IT DIDN'T FUCKING WORK!!

Hm… it's going to be fun! Revenge is always fun, but this will be the best of them all. It'll be like one of those action movies where the assassin is contemplating her move. If there was a pen and paper by my side, this is what I would have put.

Target name: Yiling Zhang

Target age: 21

Target appearance: Long black hair, hazel-coloured eye, about 5'3"s

Purpose of target: revenge

Weapon required: Handgun

Plan of action: …

I stopped, that was my plan anyway? Oh yeah, I haven't thought of it yet. Oh well, it doesn't really matter, what matters is that she will be dead and so will he... Hold on a second, no, that's too good for him. He'll be getting off too easy. Hm… I'll let him live, just so that he will suffer. Well, if that's at all possible, it will be shocking enough to learn that he has feelings, let alone ones of depression.

Oh, oops. Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, how rude of me. My name is Sakura Kinomoto, I'm 21, I was living in Japan with my family and friends before I gave up everything and moved to China, or to be more specific, Hong Kong. By everything, I mean my education, my family (they didn't approve), and my friends who were supportive but stopped contacting me as soon as they found out that I bought a one-way ticket. True friends eh?! Well, save for one - my best friend, Tomoyo Daidouji. Though I have doubts that she'll still want to be my friend if she finds out about me planning to kill our former best friend's fiancé.

The story will take way too long to tell. And I've got a wedding to attend. So to make it short, I'll just explain briefly.

Ok, at the age of fifteen, a boy (also my best male friend) and I started dating back in Japan. We were in love (or not, looking back now) but he had to leave the country due to family implications. That was four years ago, we were both seventeen then. At the airport, we made a stupid promise that we will wait for each other forever; he swore he'll come back. To seal the promise, we exchanged the teddy bears that we had sewn for each other. Then he left…

I, being stupid and dense as I am famous for, actually believed him. Therefore I risked and gave up everything and bought a one-way ticket to the centre of Hong Kong, using every last penny I had earned in the three years since he moved. And with the help of Tomoyo, I was able to find a temporary place to stay in Hong Kong. "It's just until you and the soon-to-be husband meet again." She joked. Man, she doesn't know how right she is.

The day after I settled in my new surroundings, I searched for him. Well, it wasn't exactly hard as his family is mega rich and from what I can tell, mega-snotty. I found him, in their massive, oriental back-garden training. Here's the funny bit, when their butler – Wei - let me in, he didn't tell me one thing. So I, in my moment of enthusiasm and stupidity, rushed into his arms and hugged him. He hugged me back just as joyously and I was actually feeling happy (sooo stupid!). But then I heard him whisper gently, "Yiling…"

It took me a few good seconds to realise what he said and … well, let's just say it wasn't happy after that. I even shed a few tears (and the last time I will ever do so). I met this Yiling girl alright. Pretty, yeah if you like the fragile and weak type. Attitude? Bloody hell, you could melt a diamond in her mouth. It's so sweet it's disgusting. I had to act courteously and greet the family members as politely as I could. He, obviously, avoided me like I was the plague of the earth after the embracing incident.

Yiling decided since I was his friend, I would be sooooo interested in how they got together and told me hours and hours worth of boring, pointless crap. How he was so strong and silent when she met him, but then his mother fell critically ill and she comforted him as he let out everything. When she stopped for a minute to breath (the only impressive thing about her is how fast her tongue can go), I told her that I was his former girlfriend, hinting and hoping that she wasn't as dumb as she looked… Well, she was. She said that she didn't know and apologized. I forced a smile and got up to leave. Bitch, of course she knew, as if she'd just tell random people about her relationship with her fiancé.

Yup, that's right. While I was working my arse off to earn money for the plane trip that would fly me to him, he was actually taking the hard work of getting down on one bloody knee and proposing to a girl who is simply unbearably sweet. I mean, he deserves sooo much credit, doesn't he? (For those of you who do not get sarcasm… that was it by the way.)

Life is funny, isn't it? (And here it is again)

Well, today is their wedding day; and I, being the kind and generous girl that I am, have decided to come to their wedding, after all, it is rude to refuse. In fact, I've even bothered as far as to get them a present…

Weddings are the most important days of one's life… and I'm sure they will find this day particularly interesting…

A/N well? It's kind of like 'How Could You' isn't it? think for a second yeah, the plot is roughly the same but the ending will be quite different… I think… :S :P
