Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura or any other anime or manga, while I'm at it.
A.N I know, I know, I know. It took a month for me to work up the courage to try my hand at fanfic again. Man, getting flamed hurts! So here is the deal: You flame me, I flame you. One morew thing, My computer sucks. I am rewriteing chapter two because there is always something wrong with it. (No spaces or a million little squares in it!)
No Longer a Child-Part Two
Who is Who
by BlahBlahBlah136 (I changed my name from Sailor Gundam)
"Oh my gosh, Sakura!" shouted Mr. Kinomoto (I've chosen to use the Japanese Names), seeing his eighth grade daughter trapped under the penguin slide. "I'm stuck!" she said through her tears. "When did you find her?" Touya asked Syoaran, who was kneeling beside the penguin slide. Syoaran got a 'what-do-you-think' look on his face and said, "I found her right before I called you." "Oh"
"We need to get help!" Mr.Kinomoto was histerical. Syoaran, for that matter, was the only calm one, " I called the fire department right before I called you. We're in eighth grade, we do know what to do in these situations." Mr. Kinomoto gave a little agreement and wentr back to calming down Sakura, but it didn't seem to be working. Syoaran finally shouted , "Sakura, you're going to drown all of Tomoeda District if you don't stop crying." Sakura imagines, 'there goes Melin, floating by on her kitchen table.' She laughed. This seemed to surprise both Mr.Kinomoto and Touya. "Imagine this," Sakura half commanded, "There goes the principal, floating after his chairs. And there goes Melin, floating by on her kitchen table, screaming Li, Li!" They all stopped to picture this as the large red fire truck pulled up to the entrance of the park.
(Morning news cast)
A lady in a red dress suit comes on the screen. "Last night an eighth grade student as trapped under this penguin slide. Her parents were histaric when Miss Sakura Kinomoto before 10:00 P.M. The police were called, as were all of her friends. It was a good this the Sakura's father did call all of her friends, for it was not the police that found the terrified girl. One of her classmates found her in Penguin Park at approximatly 12:30. The young man called the fire department and then her family. The fire department came soon after, and it took an hour for her to be set free from the colosal bird. After being checked out by the paramedics, Sakura was able to go home. I'm sure all of the kinomotos are very greatful for this young hero's actions." They proceeded to show picture of the firemen freeing Sakura.
(Kinomoto residence, they are watching the news.)
"Hey dad, check it out, Sakura is famous!" Touya shouted into the kitchen. "Shhhhhhh, you'll wake your sister up!" Mr.Kinomoto whispered. "Ahhhhhhhhhh, yes, the star must have her rest. Hey, you mean Sakura doesn't have to go to school today! Oops," Touya caught himself from getting too loud. " Well, when you get stuck under in a penguin slide for five hours you can miss a day of school.
(Sakura's room)
Sakura couldn't sleep. She was still in a little shock , both from the penguin insident and her head was still not clear. Kero suddently jumped up on the bed, "Guess what! I'm famous. I was on the news this morning!" "You were not," Sakura mumbled in a very sleepy voice. "Yes, I was! The lady in the red dress said, 'I'm sure all the Kinomotos are thankful for this young kero's actions," he protested. "She said HERO'S not KERO's. She was talking about Li." Sakura ended the conversation by rolling over and going to sleep. "How come that gaki can get on tv and not me?" Kero grumbled.
(Sakura's class)
"Is everybody here who should be here?" shouted Tomoe-sensei (Is that the right name?) over the noise. "Yep," she finally said, scanning the room for empty seats. "Sakura isn't here," someone shouted out. Everyone settled into their seats "For whoever said that, I said, 'Is everybody here who SHOULD be here?'" The class looked quizzical. "Sakura was stuck in a penguin slide until 1 am this morning. Wouldn't you want to skip a day of school if that happened to you? As for Li, I'm glad to see you're here." he ended, nodding toward Syoaran. Melin snapped her pencil in half. She turned red and shot death-glares at everyone.
(4:30, Kinomoto House)
The door bell rings. "That's the sixth time this hour!" Touya complained while opening the door to another smiling face. "Is Sakura feeling any better? I brought her a get well card." Touya had rigged up the perfect thing to say by now. "She's sleeping right now. I'm sure your card will make her feel a lot better." It was cheezy, but it made them go away.
An hour later Tomoyo came over. "Oh, hi Tomoyo. Sakura is upstairs sleeping. You can go wake her up. Here, take these cards with you." Mr. Kinomoto handed her a large stack of envolopes and a small flower arrangement or two. "Wow, Sakura is sure popular. I have a few more for her in my bag!"
(Sakura's room)
Tomoyo walked in the door. Sakura was sleeping faced away from the door. "Wake up, sleepy head!" Tomoyo said in her naturally cheery voice. Sakura's eyelids fluttered. She sat up and greeted Tomoyo, who sat a tray full of cards and lemonade on her lap. "Wow!" It surprised Skaura to see how many cards were in front of her. "I guess people were worried about you." Tomoyo shoved a beautilful arrangment of flowers in Sakura's face.(Not literally) "These are from HARRISON." Tomoyo made the word Harrison long and teasing. Sakura blushed so much you could have mistaken her for a turnip. Tomoyo gave her a goofy smile. Sakura took one last look at Harrison's flowers and set them down beside her. She opened the cards one by one, making a mental nate to herself to thank each and everyone of them the next day.
Finally she came to the last card. It looked like every other card; a white envolope with the words 'To Sakura' written on it. She opened it. A small red rose fell out. It wasn't just small, it was miniature! It would have been for someone Kero's size. She touched one of the petals and drew back. It was real! It took Sakura's breath away.. It seemed like stars fell from the petals like water. Sakura extracted the contence of the envolope. It wasn't a card, but a picture. It was a drawing of Sakura and it was a beautiful as a manga. In the portrait she was rollerblading with the wind in her hair. The sun was shining though the trees, reflecting in her eyes. She was smiling at looking off into the distance. Sakura continued to stare at the picture until Tomoyosaid, "Who is it from?" Sakura had totally forgotten about everything, including Tomoyo. "I don't know!" The girls tried to guess who it was from, but they could never agree on anyone. Eventually the conversation strayed away from the anonymous drawing. Soon it was time for Tomoyo to go and they parted.
Sakura sat in silence for a moment, then she decide to go get some water for her flowers and set her cards up. She got a few vases from her father, one for each arrangement. Suddently her eyes fell on the pecualiar red rose, and it's accompaning picture. She set the flowers down that she had been holding and started to dig in her doll chest. Touya came up to see Sakura head first in her doll chest. "Trying to get stuck in there too?" he joked. Sakura came up from the depths of the box, her auburn hair slightly frazzled, with a triumphant cry. She withdrew a small doll vase and proceeded to the nearest sink. She filled the small vase and returned to her room. Touya was still standing in her doorway. Sakura put the small flower in the equally small vase and set them on her bedside table. She arrenged all her flowers and cards on her desk and stood back to get a good look at them. She gave a sigh of contentment and turned to Touya. "You know what?'" She said, " I'm not upset anymore."
A sneeze suddently came from the stairs. Yukito's head appeared from the last step. "Oh man, you'd think I was in a flourists shop, I'm sneezing so much." Then he say Sakura's flowers, "Oh, that's why." Sakura, suddently realizing the problem, shut her door and washed her hands. How could she have forgotten that Yukito was ellergic to flowers!
(Later that night)
Sakura was in her pjs once again. She sat down at her desk and took out a megnifying glass. She wanted to look at the tiny flower more closly. As beautiful as it was in small form, it was even more beautiful when under a magnifying glass. It wasn't an unreal beauty, but more of a natural one, calming and peacful. Sakura felt very content. She set the magnifying glass down on the table. She wished she knew who had sent it. She wanted to thank Him/her and tell him/her that he/she was a wondeful artist. Just then, something strange caught her eye. She had set the magnifying glass down in the drawing. It was now picling up some writing. She looked down and read the words:
WAIT FOR ME
They were written on a leaf at the bottom of the sketch. Sakura went to bed, wanting more than ever to know who wanted to wait for her.
