Namida no densetsu

-The legend of Namida-

By : ^*Kasumi*^

Chapter One : "Legend"

-"Ooooooooooh !!!" As the bus parked in front of a big chalet, all children were stucked to their windows, looking at the wonderful landscape that was set before their eyes. They were all amazed by the high mountains and the beauty of the view.

-"Okay class. We are going to get off the bus, now. Be sure you're not leaving anything in there, okay? And when you're out, please wait for everybody to be ready to go, right?"

-"Riiiiiiigghtt!!!!!!"

As soon as she got off, a young girl about 14 with long purple hair gave a look at her surroundings, and stared like this for a long time, stars in her blue eyes, before turning around.

-"Sakuraaaa !!! Look !! Isn't that wooooonderful?" the so called Sakura came up to her friend and widened her eyes as she watched the landscape.

-"Wow..." she said with a smile "You're right Tomoyo. that's wonderful."

Sakura felt like she could have stayed here for hours. She kept staring, her short hair and ribbons floating with the wind. 'I really think I'm gonna enjoy that stay'

The two girls came out of their reverie when they heard their teacher's voice calling for them. They took their luggage and followed the rest of the class into the house.

*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

-"I want the bed on the right !!!"

-"Yeah...sure Chiharu, calm down.....*sigh* where do you want to sleep Sakura?"

The teen looked at her friend and eyed the small room. Then she walked up to a bed and lied down.

-"Awwwwwwwww !!!! How comfortable!!!! I want THAT bed !"

-"Okay. Then I'll take the one next to yours."

Sakura and Tomoyo were to share a room with two of their friends, Sasaki Rika and Mihara Chiharu. The place they were staying in had four beds and a huge supposed-to-be-empty space where the girls had piled up their stuff.

-"Too bad Naoko could not come." said sadly Chiharu. Her friend Rika came to sit on the same bed.

-"Yeah, but she had something to do during this winter vacation. She was so disapointed when she learned that teachers had organised a trip..."

-"...we'll bring her pictures back !! And besides, I'm sure she'll have fun too !!!"

-"Sakura's right, let's have fun !!" And with that, Chiharu throwed a pillow to Rika's head.

-"Heeeey !! You're gonna pay for that !!" and then a BIG pillow-fight began.

The girls were so in this that they did not notice the three boys who were standing in the doorstep.

-"Girls? What are you doi-Mmmmmpphfphfphfff !!!!"

-"Ah...Yamazaki-kun!! Gomen nasaaaai !!!!!" said Chiharu while running to his side."Are you hurt?"

-"Y-Yes...I think I am..."

-"Oh I'm so sorry......" and then she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

-"Better now?" The eyeless boy smiled and smirked evily...and he throwed the pillow back in Chiharu's head.

-"Yes, better. Thanks."

-"I see you're already messing the place up........!!!" came a voice from behind Yamazaki's fallen body. A tall boy with glasses and black hair ( and an eeeeeeeevil smile ^_^) entered the room, followed by another teen, his age.

-"Eriol-kun? Syaoran-kun? What are you doing here?"

-"Well...we were getting bored in our room, so Yamazaki thought of paying you a visit. So we're here. But if you want us to leave, that's fine, I guess..."

-"Hoe!! Nononononononono I didn't mean I wanted you to leave, guys !!!"

Sakura took Eriol's hand and forced him to sit on the bed. Then she did the same with Syaoran, with that difference that the boy blushed furiously as soon as the cheeful girl touched him.

-"Here. Sit down." she then sat down too, so that her eyes were just in front of the awful pile of bags in the middle of the room.

-"Hehehehehehe...so...what do you think of the place?"

-"Well, it's fine. And big. We almost got lost while trying to find your room, you know..." Eriol started.

-"Do you know what is told about this mountain?"

-"No, but don't start, Yamazaki."

-"You're only three sharing your chamber?" asked Sakura, trying to change the subject.

-"Yes, we could have been just two, but Hiiragizawa invited himself." Yamazaki stood up and sat on Chiharu's bed.

-"Well...that's not exactly true, Li-kun. Eriol asked me if I was okay with that."

-"And why didn't you ask me?"

-"Because you would not have agreed."

-"That's right."

-"Okay...now girls, do you want us to help you unpack?" asked Yamazaki, his "eyes" turned to the giant mountain in the middle of the room.

-"Er...yeah...why not? hehehehehehehe..." said Sakura, sweatdroping. "And then we'll eat, since I'm starv-"

Everything turned black.

-"HOE???? AAAAAHHHHHH WHATSGOINGOOOOOON???"

-"HEY PLEASE SAKURA STOP SCREAMING !!!"

-"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH-O-Okay..." she said, at the verge of crying.

-"Sakura calm down. I think that's just a blackout. Nothing more."

-"A-Ar-Are you su-sure Eriol?"

-"No."

-"AAAAAAAAAAAAH !!!!"

-"Sakura, wait, I'm coming to your side."

-"B-But Tomoyo how can you walk in the dark?"

-"Well, I'm .........trying to-"

-"OUCH !! That was my foot, Daidouji-san."

-"Oh! Gomen ne, Li-kun !!"

-"OUCH !! And this is MINE, Tomoyo-chan !"

-"Gomeeeeeeeen Sakura..."

-"Hey wait !!" said Rika. "I have a torch in my backpack!!"

-"Greeaaat. Now go and try to find it. Good luck." In the dark, they could hear Rika's footsteps and grumble when she knelt down to start looking for the torch.

-"A little help, here?" Eriol, Yamazaki, Syaoran, Chiharu and Tomoyo were getting up to help Rika, when they heard Sakura screaming. Again.

-"Hey !! Don't move!! Don't leave me alone!!" she cried.

-"So get up and come to help us !!"answered Chiharu.

-"I caaaaan't !! I'm afraid of the dark !!!" And with that, she grabbed the closest arm she found and forced one of her friends to sir back next to her.

-"Hey !!"

-"Syaoran? Is that you?" (Hehehehehe...OF COURSE it's him ^_^)

-"Yeah..."

-"Fine. Now don't you dare move away from me, or I WILL KILL YOU !!" she cried, refusing to let him go.

-"Ooo-Okay..."

-"I FOUND IT !!"

-"You found what?" All eyes turned to the doorstep, where a tall woman was standing, with a candle in her hands.

-"Mizuki-sensei?"

-"Sakura we heard you screaming, so we got a bit worried. But I see you're fine."

-"Er...yes, I'm sorry for scaring everyone, but I hate being in the dark..."

-"That's okay, don't worry. Mister Terada is truing to make the light return. Do you need anything? I can stay here for a while if you want me to..."

-"Yes, why not?" said Chiharu. Eriol gave a smile to his teacher.

-"Well, I guess I can stay here for a while, since the other teachers are already checking on your classmates..." Miss Mizuki sat down on Tomoyo's bed, and put the candle on the floor, so that it lit the big mess in the center of the chamber.

-"Oh...that's an original decoration, girls..."The four girls sweatdroped. "Okay...so...are you enjoying the place?"

-"Yes, sensei."

-"Except for that blackout."

-"Yes, that's really annoying. I hope that we won't stay in the dark during the whole week..."

-"Hoeeee..."

-"Sensei? Is it true that this mountain is haunted?" asked Yamazaki.

-"Kyaaaaaa!!! I'm not listenning !! I'm not listenning !!"

-"Well...that's what the rumors say..."

-"AAAHAA!! YOU SEE? I WAS RIGHT!!!!"

-"Shut uuuuup, please..."

-"No, I wanna know !! What's this all about?"asked a motivated Chiharu.

-"Hoeeee..."

-"Hey Sakura, the story itself is not that scary, you know...If you let me tell it, then I will tell you to cover your ears when I think that you could be scared."

-".....I wanna skip the part where you speak of ghosts..."

-"Then I'll tell you when the ghost appears, okay?"

-"Okay..."

The young woman cleared her throat and looked at all her students before closing her eyes to begin.

-"All right. So that's what I heard about the legend...some people say that long ago, in the Middle ages, there was a small town near here. Everybody was quite happy there.

And in this village lived a young girl. She was one of the most beautiful creatures on Earth. She was nice to everybody, and loved by all the villagers."

-"Like me?"

-"Yeah, like you Chiharu. Poor girl."

-"Hey !!!" Miss Mizuki smiled at this, and went on with the story.

-"Yes, like you. So...this girl was courted by all the men of the town. But each time that one of them asked her out, she refused."

-"Why?"

-"Well...nobody knew...until a few of them decided to follow her to the place where she was going every evening. A dark and scary forest..."

-"And what did they discover?"

-"That's where the legend is twisted. All versions are different, because nobody knows exactly what happened there. What is known is that the men found out that the girl came here every night to be with her lover."

-"So that's why she did not want to go out with them !!"

-"Yes, but they dicovered something else. Nobody knows what, but when the men came back, they accused the poor girl to be a witch. They did not explain why, or no one remembers, but at this time, when people had a doubt on someone, they would get rid ofhim or her immediatly."

-"So?"

-"...so they brought her back to town...placed her on a stake, and they...burnt her."

-"........................."

-"But that's horrible !!"

-"Yeah...Sakura?"

-"Ye-Yes?"

-"Don't listen to that part." The young girl did as she was told, covered her ears, and closed her eyes.

Miss Mizuki started her story again.

-"Since her death, weird things happened. First of all, all couples broke up. Nobody was in love anymore. And a few people left the town. Then...people started to have visions. Almost all of them could swear that they saw the young girl walking around the streets at night. And after visions came depression. Everybody in the village was sad and depressed. No one knew exactly why, since they were all too sad to even speak. So little by little, everybody left the town. And to forget about this all, the village was burnt."

-"Wow."

-"But the malediction did not end. some people they can still see her nowadays..."

-"Do you mean that we could...see her?"

-"Well...I don't know !! " she said with a smile. "I told you everything I knew. That's it."

The teens could not move nor speak anymore. They were all too shocked to do so. (EXCEPT ERIOL) Sakura was still covering her ears, since she did not know the story was finished. So she was rocking back and forth, waiting for it to finish, shivering at the thought of the young woman's death.

-"Sakura? Sakura...Miss Mizuki finished speaking."

Sakura, still on her bed, next to Syaoran, did not hear a thing.

-"Hey, Sakura !!" Syaoran tapped her on her shoulder.

-"AAAAAAHH !!!!!!!!!!" Now EVERYONE is covering their ears.

-"Hey Sakura, calm down." Sakura stops screaming and opens her eyes.

-"Woops, sorry guys."

Miss Mizuki smiled at Sakura.

-"That's okay, Sakura, but you should relax a little. This place is safe, you know. There is nothing to worry about. And beside, all your friends are here to protect you." she said with a wink.

Just then, there was a bright light, which made everybody wince at the sudden brightness.

-"Ah!! Light is back. So there's no need for me to stay here anymore. It's already late, you should go to sleep. Back to YOUR room, boys !!"

...To Be Continued...
