Summary "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day..?"
Sometimes a simple kiss can be the cure to pain, pain that refused to dissipate. Lifelong pain, gone in only a matter of seconds, with a cherry blossom's kiss.
Chaper One_
A taste of the past.
The afternoon was yellow and open-mouthed with cherry blossoms. The sun treads the path among enormous oaks, caressing those around contently in a welcoming inviting way. It was a crisp autumn afternoon, as Sakura Kinomoto sat idly underneath a grand cherry blossom tree watching as a whirlwind whisked across the rolling hills of the meadow contently, knowing that there was nothing that could disrupt the flawless image of peace before her.
As the wind passed by her, it scooped up a dormant pile of fallen cherry blossoms laying next to the tree, as though it were asking for a dance. The petals as well as leaves appeared to come alive twisting, swaying, and dancing about the meadow, sporting their new fall colors of red, orange, brown, and yellow. However, without realization, the petals and leaves slowly lay back down on the bed of the meadow the darkness engulfed their beauty making them appear dry and bristle, the wind turned crisp as the sunlight departed with the shadows. Sakura opened her eyes, the memories of her last visit to the meadow reborn in her mind. She always used to come here to escape…

A young girl, merely age of 4, lay hidden stationary under her bed covers, in hope that the darkness along with the silence would engulf her and whisk her away from what she had to face that very moment.
"SAKURA YOU LITTLE INSOLENT BRAT. COME OUT HERE NOW." The woman's voice screamed in antagonism that absolutely petrified her. The little girl's eyes, once emerald that glistened with the beams of the sun, were tightly shut, and then re-opened to release unwilling tears that caressed her face as though they were reassuring her. The girl could not do anything but hold her breath hoping that the woman who was trying to hunt her down would not know of her being in the room, however she could feel the dark aura slowly creeping and crawling, her footsteps scraping the wood of her floor, and as her heart stopped she was there.
"Come on out…darling. Now did I not tell you that you were never to speak your mother?" Her voice haunted and plagued the girl's ears.
Just as she mustered up a response she felt her breath caught in her throat as pain surged through her scalp, her silky auburn hair held roughly in the palm of the woman's hand.
"DID I NOT TELL YOU THAT YOU WERE NEVER TO SPEAK YOUR MOTHER?"
Her world went black as the last thing she saw was the dark face of the woman who was her grandmother, the woman who was meant to spoil her and adore her, the same very woman who knocked her across the face leaving her own face to be engulfed by darkness taking her to a world of silence where she could be with her mother in her dreams.

She was born into a life where her parents resented one another, receiving not the love she deserved, believing that it was because she reminded them both of one another. She was the first born therefore she experienced the more difficult version of growing up.
Xin Yagasanosu, a wealthy and prestigious man who was born into a family that had both fame and fortune, was fortunate enough to inherit a large sum of money.
Ellina Sarandos, a village woman from Kalamata in Greece who had great beauty however her family could not afford to provide them, her sisters as well as herself, what they longed and hoped for, and what they needed.
Xin Yagasanosu had a highly important meeting to attend to, it was imperative that this was done. Ellina's sister, Angela, who had just landed a job in a prestigious firm within the city due to great luck and hard work, was going to be working with Xin. Ellina was visiting her sister in city therefore when Angela and Xin met, at a business lunch, Ellina was present. Xin found her beauty mesmerizing and Ellina was attracted towards his wealth like a bee to pollen. Though they were not well acquainted, he asked for her hand marriage immediately in addition to her strong desperation in being financially secure she agreed. Days later she was pregnant, months after that she was pregnant again and summer by summer all stolen away, was another bit of her freedom lost.
It was complex for her for the reason that she was the eldest, therefore all the responsibility was left on her. Her two brothers, Chao and Alexi, were given all they wanted, and never even received a slap on the wrist. If they wanted to do something, they could do it. If they wanted to go out, they could go out. She was forbidden to talk to boys or to travel or go out even though her brothers, who were younger than her, were capable of doing so. If she asked for anything it was a no, and if she showed a hint of disagreement or discontent she would be immediately beaten. She was the top student in her school, the most knowledgeable and the most liked, the most successful and the most beautiful, yet even so she could not get anything she wished for.
She was left with no choice but to rebel, whenever Xin and Ellina went out or whenever they travelled, she would immediately leave the house to be just who she wanted to be, who they didn't want her to be. She loathed herself and could not stand to be anything like what they expected her to be, she tried and tried and could no longer go on.
Consequently it went from going out to movies and malls, to going out to parties, to drinking, to drugs, to sex. Her life was a mess. In the end, no smile could be put on her face without the dose of hash, marijuana, or heroin. She could no longer keep it a secret as much, which led to her beautiful physique being badly battered as well as bruised. Her life was nothing but a misery, affecting the decisions she made.
Hence she conceived a child at the age of 16, the same year she was awarded a scholarship to one of the top universities in the country, demolishing all the dreams of escaping she hoped for. The only door to freedom was tightly shut, and only in a matter of seconds. The baby was born 9 months later. She was still in the very same place and she had been for the past 16 years, the place she loathed with a passion. She could not bear to look at the child who reminded her of everything she lost, everything she could have had. She left that child in the hands of the two people who made her despise her very own being in the first place. She left due to her selfishness and greed, to have a better life of her own and risking her own child's life. She left her child parentless.
The child was me.
And that woman, she was my mother.
