Sakura's Childhood Demise
[I would very much like to add that the characters found in this story are taken from an existing anime or manga whichever you would prefer]
Sakura's turning three tomorrow and Fujitaka's preparing the cake. "Hope Sakura would love this." Fujitaka murmured decorating the cake expertly. "Of course she would. She loves sweet things." Nadesico said beside him. She placed a hand on the countertop to support herself. She hadn't been getting weaker by the day yet she wouldn't want to lie down and rest with preparations for Sakura's birthday nearly finished. Fujitaka looked at her, their eyes met and held. They knew that this might be the last time Sakura would celebrate her birthday with her mother. Nadesico placed her free hand on Fujitaka's shoulder and smiled cheerily. "We better hurry before she wakes up from her nap and wander around. We wouldn't want to spoil the surprise now would we?" "You're right, dear." Fujitaka smiled back and before he could return to decorating, Nadesico started to collapse. He hurriedly scooped up his wife and carried her to the sofa. "Are you alright, dear?" he asked worriedly. "I'm fine. Just a little dizzy. Don't mind me. You better go finish the cake." Nadesico bade her husband go. "Are you sure you're alright?" Fujitaka asked hesitantly turning to leave. "Yes. Don't worry." Nadesico insisted mustering a cheery smile for his sake. After he left the room, her face screwed up in pain and she succumbed to the pain that plagued her more often these days. She knew her time's getting nearer but she would continue to hold on for her family especially her daughter Sakura. She feared what would happen to the toddler should she. no, she would not think about it. The pain was intense yet it didn't last long. She was panting from the effort it took to deal with the pain when in walk her son, Touya. "Okasama, are you alright?" Touya rushed to her side. "Yes, I'm fine now. Is your sister awake yet?" Nadesico asked. Touya got up to check and returned a minute later. "She's quite asleep and must be having a wonderful dream." Touya answered concern and fear bright in his young eyes. "How was your day?" Nadesico asked conversationally. She would give up a lot to erase the strain that had befallen her family at the discovery of her illness. "It was okay. How about yours? Did the agency come calling?" Touya returned. "Yes but they left after a while. Why don't you go help your father in the kitchen? He's preparing for Sakura's birthday." She coaxed him towards the kitchen. With a reluctant look, he left and helped his father leaving Nadesico dozing on the sofa.
