shimane.:. here it is, enjoy.

rmbr to review kay?thanks!


-Triple Distress-

I've been running blindly towards no destination. I know that if I continue to escape or run away, at least, for a moment, things will still be the same. Run away! bump Ouch.. my head..

What follows next is a girl clad in casual clothes with a very apologetic expression. She came right at me and lifted me up. I stared at her blankly and went into a deep trance. With every angle that I've observed, she looks very familiar.

'Are you alright? Um, can you hear me? You okay?' the girl questioned worriedly.

'Yes, Sorry, I didn't look where I'm going', sakura replied apologetically.

I managed to snap out my thoughts; still, I think I've seen her before…somewhere.

She took off after her string of apologies. I noticed something shiny, sliver-chain flickering under the afternoon's sunlight which hangs around her top.

But that wasn't which that caught my attention; it was the black pick-like shape necklace that has carved wordings of –kyme-

that word… I felt a sense of remorse come by me, as I think of that word; it feels painful, for some unknown reasons. Maybe I'm thinking too much…


"Why Rin? … I know, I don't have any objections, but… "

"Sorry Syaoran-kun, it's been announced and final, please understand…'', an assistant-representative elder said it firmly

clack

The door really did know when to break the tight atmosphere at the right time.

'Sorry! I came late; I had something on just now, uh…hello?' Rin asked hesitantly.

'Rin-sama, we've been expecting you. Please do give further explanations and answer syaoran-kun's questions regarding the engagement, we'll take our leave then, please excuse us.''

'Rin what's this about?' he asked with arched eye-brows.

Rin sighed a moment and lock eyes with him, 'You've heard about it, it's not something that I can change, and don't you want to marry me?'

'It's not that…it's really ridiculous.. Me and You?' he laughed.

She really hated the way he put it, 'Syaoran, are you trying to say that it's impossible?'

'Yes, impossible' He said it straight with a serious tone and left, headed back to his room.

Back in his room His princess better be waiting in anticipation for the upcoming teases he planned to reward her for waiting. He chuckled along the hall way fantasizing about it along the empty hallways.

Rin stalk off in another direction after him; fuming

What's with that guy?

Nutcase.

Yes, no one could blame Rin for thinking like this, because she's just being Normal.


Meanwhile, sakura is splitting the road with her running speed, in 3 minutes more, if she doesn't get to the doors of the broadcast call, no doubt the tongue-lashing sessions will be lengthened and her life-span will be shortened.

I've got to get back to the company. Only 15 minutes before rehearsal starts. Will I make it? Its fine, I'll try to get there. Dash!

She didn't have time to even think about the inevitable events that occurred just an hour ago, who wouldn't be concerned when someone knows who you actually are… your true identity

Safe! Thank god. It's another miracle that she made it at the door 3 seconds before doom.

Sakura is flustered, very annoyed. That makes 2 person including tomoyo-chan, what's worse? The last person you would want your true identity exposed to is Syaoran-sama. And she's worried that he won't keep his big mouth shut.

The Li-clan's one and only bejeweled heir and to top it off, he is a famous and outstanding guitarist in the music world. This makes it even more dangerous for the secret to be with him. Once her secret is out, she wouldn't live it off well in school. At least it's different for him, he's already acknowledge in school.

To think that every fan girl would want to touch him at least once is very normal. And to top it off, the situation in school isn't getting any better. Everyday in school is hell due to fangirls crowding around him for autographs. The school gate area would be dominated by fangirls, a tactic to trap him in school compound so that they could rape the hell out of him. However, None of them gotten any from him. Of course that will never happen as he would scrowl at them if they dared invade his personal space.

At least for this, sakura is relieved. She never admits though.

But it's been rumored that he isn't able to strum his guitar for 1 year since his second single release, which explains why he stopped making music or singing for lives and got enrolled into school.

The reason behind why he won't play the guitar anymore remains unknown up till present.


'Sakura! How many times do you have to do this to me? You! Can't you come like 5 minutes early, You better change this habit of yours… 'the manager rant on like no tomorrow.

3 second did not save her. Double loss.

Indeed, first was syaoran, now this. Where have I gone wrong.. jeez.

A question came to her mind, she cut her manager off, 'I'm sorry, but may I ask? About Syaoran Li.. That popular guitarist … why did he stalled his work?

'No idea… no one knows.. He didn't even say anything since last year's interview...' she replied in ambiguity.

'Now that you've mention, a few days before, I overheard the directors talking about syaoran-san and another girl named Rin Nagasawa, they were talking about some incident, A pity I could hardly hear due to the noise of the live-broadcast.' She added.

'Incident?', she asked with an confused expression.

'You're up next Shimizu-san.' Someone called out from behind the cameras. So much for the interruption, this made sakura even more troubled.

Her day is really terrible, first was the familiar girl that she could have remembered if she had a clear mind, next to it was about the incident involving rin, then the engagement.

Yes, her mind is in a state of wreak. It's falling apart soon if she doesn't keep herself well-composed.

She sighed in exasperation, stretches out a little and massaged her neck. She thought for a while that she sensed something was missing, and waved it off after a moment of thought.

I must really be too tired after thinking too much. Okay! Get on with work, gambare!


'sakura?', he called out.

It's obvious that she left the room, even the door was left open. That idiot, left without saying anything, she's so going to get her special deserts.

Syaoran smirked as he thought to himself and threw himself into his bed. He noticed something gleaming on the ground, phonestrap?

He picked it up and looked closely,

shimizu sakura.
