The Lady of the Cherry

by Talia

A parody/satire fic written ages ago posted anew as it's probably one of the best things I ever wrote. SPELLING/FORMATTING/DIALOGUE ERRORS ARE DELIBERATE. Plot: The gorgeous princess Sakura Sushiko is being forced to marry Aku, even though she really always wanted to be a samurai. Good thing she happens to meet a samurai that a prophecy had foretold she would wed!

21. Chapter 21

Jack rushed to Sakura's side and cradled her head in his arms. Blood dripped tragically from her mouth. She gasped for air.

"Oh, no! Sakura! Oh, Sakura, my love, do not die!"

"Oh, Jack! I fear it is beyond my control."

"No, my darling Sakura! No!"

"Yes, my dearest, yes."

"No!"

"But soft! Good has yet come from my most tragical demise. The world is free from Aku. I have died so that others may yet live. Oh, Jack! I always did love you, always! I have but one regret, and that is only that I did not confess it sooner!"

"Oh, Sakura! Sakuraaaa!"

"Gchugk, cuhhhhcgh! Cough, cough! Oh, Jack, I am slipping, slipping! Jack, my dearest, do kiss me this final once."

Jack kissed her passionately, but by the time he pulled away, she was already dead.
