Chapter 1:
Tomoe Sakura hurried down the street towards her home. School had just got out and Sakura was in a hurry to get home, finish her homework and go down to the flower shop down the street. She promised her best friend, Fujimiya Aya that she would help with the shop as soon as her homework was done. Aya had needed a lot of help since there was only Momo and her there to run the shop.
"Sakura, is that you?" her mother shouted as soon as she walked in the door to her home and hung up her school bag in the front hall.
"Yeah Mom." She shouted as she ran up the stairs with her school books. "I have to go down to the flower shop in a few to help out Aya again. I'll be home in time for dinner!" She sat down at her desk and quickly started her homework.
Soon her mother appeared at the door with a tray of fresh cookies and a confused look on her face. "You're going down there again? Your homework will be finished right?" She was using her warning voice.
"Of course! I always finish my homework, you know that." Sakura reached for a cookie without lifting even looking up from her work. "Thanks."
Her mother sighed and sat down on her bed. "Sakura, we've barely seen anything of you since you started helping out down there. We miss you, can't you stay home every once in awhile?"
"Aya needs me, Mom. I can't just let my best friend down. I promise to come home early today, okay?" Sakura said, looking up at her mother.
"Okay. Hey, why don't you bring that Fujimiya girl home for dinner tonight so I can see if all your labor has been worth doing?" A grin spread across her mother's face.
Sakura laughed and nodded. "I'll see if she can close the shop early today."
Her mother hugged her and walked away, leaving the cookies in Sakura's room.
An hour later, Sakura walked into the flower shop. She wore a light yellow tank top with jeans to replace her school uniform. Her shoulder length, brown hair was pulled up in a pony tail. Momo, the little old lady who looked after Aya, sat asleep in a chair by the tulips. Aya was nowhere to be seen.
Sakura walked up to the counter and picked up a small picture that sat there. It was a picture of the past owners of the shop. Fujimiya Ran, Hidaka Ken, Tsukiyono Omi, and Kudou Yoji. They were all young men who were not exactly what they seemed. Aya was in a coma when they owned the shop. Ran was her older brother and Sakura's first love. Sakura accidentally found out that Ran, or Aya back then, (He went by his sisters name then) was an assassin. Soon after, when she sacrificed herself to save Aya, (the girl) she discovered that the others too were assassins. They all died that day, fighting their enemies, Schwarz. According to Sakura and Manx, no one survived. That's when Aya awoke from her coma and she and Sakura began a strong friendship. It had been a year since she woke from her coma and Vice (the group of assassins) died.
Sakura's eyes rested on Ran. She remembered how he had promised to tell her everything when their dilemma was all over and to call her Ran instead of Aya. That was her last conversation with him. She would forever be grateful to him for saving her life and always miss him.
"Sakura, you're here! Great!" Aya's voice brought her back from her thoughts and longings for Ran. "Help me with these roses, will you?"
Sakura took some roses from her best friend and placed them in their display. "Aya, do you ever wonder what your brother was like while you were in a coma?"
Aya looked almost exactly like Sakura, except she had black hair that gave off a bluish color. Sakura's was brown and shorter. Aya raised her eyebrows at Sakura. "Yes, but I try not to think about it too much. I miss him too much." Aya's hand went to the one gold earring she had left. Ran had bought her a pair of gold earrings that she just had to have on her birthday, but now one was missing. According to Sakura, Ran had worn it in her honor while she slept. Now he was dead and Aya blamed herself for it.
"What's that look for?" Sakura asked, worriedly.
"Sakura, it's all my fault! He's dead because of me and my stupid coma! He would have never become an assassin if not for me!" Aya broke down into tears.
Sakura instantly felt guilty for bringing up the subject. Aya was in such a happy mood. "Aya, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to make you cry. You're wrong, Aya...I mean Ran joined Vice on his own. It was Takitori Reji's fault, not yours!" Still Aya continued to cry. "Here, my mom wants you to come home to dinner tonight. Do you want to come?" Sakura prayed that this would stop the crying.
Sure enough, Aya's head came up and she saw puzzlement in her eyes. "Your mom wants to meet me?" She asked.
"Yep. She wants to meet the girl that keeps me away from home all the time." Sakura smiled reassuringly at her friend.
Aya laughed. "I guess I can close early or just have Momo watch the shop until I come home." Aya lived in the apartments above the store, where the boys had once lived.
"Great, you'll love my family and I'm sure they'll love you!"
Just then a motorcycle pulled up in front of the shop. A young man with brown hair pulled off his helmet. He wore black sunglasses and a dark blue shirt with jeans. He walked casually into the shop like he did it every day of his life. Something was very familiar about him, but Sakura couldn't find it.
"Can we help you?" Aya asked sweetly.
"Uh...yeah. A dozen tulips please." He studied the shop as he walked around it. He smiled when he saw the picture. "How are you ladies? Everything going well?"
Aya was busy gathering his flowers and didn't hear him. "Were fine, thank you. And you sir?"
"It's been difficult, but I think it will get better really soon." He smiled as if he knew something they did not.
"Would you like us to deliver these for you sir?" Aya asked as she rung up the price on the cash register.
"Sure, one sec." He grabbed a card and quickly scribbled something on it. He handed it to Aya and smiled. "It's good to see you awake." He murmured as he paid the price for the flowers. "See you soon." He said and walked out of the shop.
"See you soon?" Asked Sakura. "Do you know him Aya?"
"Never seen him before, but he did say that it was nice to see me awake."
"That's weird...I thought he looked familiar. Oh well, what's the address?" Sakura took the card and gasped. "These are to be sent to Manx! It says that they'll contact her. How odd, who'd want to contact Manx?" At the bottom of the card was a cross. Why was that so familiar?
"Come on, let's go deliver these and go to dinner." Aya walked over to Momo and gentle shook her. "Momo, we're going to close early today. It's time to go home."
"Okay dearies. I'll see you tomorrow morning. Oh wait, you've got school in the morning. I'll see you after school." Aya kissed the little old woman on the cheek and went to turn the sign to closed. "Shall we go Sakura?" The other girl smiled at her and together they walked towards the police department to deliver Manx's flowers.
