"Takashi-kun? You're getting me a rose right?" Chiharu asked with a giggle.
"Did you know…" Takashi began but was cut off by Chiharu strangling him. "Of course I'm getting you a rose!" he gasped.
Chiharu let go of him, "Yay."
Tomoyo giggled and turned to Sakura, "Will you be going to the Cherry Blossom Festival?"
Sakura blinked, "What's that?"
Before she could answer Terada Sensei stepped in through the door, "All right everybody, please take your seats!"
"I'll explain more later, ok Tenshi-Chan?" Tomoyo whispered to Sakura as everybody took their seats.
"Ohayo, minna!" greeted Terada Sensei, but he looked directly at Rika.
Rika blushed as her and the rest of the class greeted back, "Ohayo, Terada Sensei!"
Terada Sensei cleared his throat and continued with his speech, "As you may know about the Cherry Blossom Festival, I have just been informed of our class's activity." He paused while surveying the eager faces of his students. "We will be in charge of the Rose Confessions!"
Everybody cheered because the Rose Confessions were one of the most popular activities. However planning for it would be a lot of hard work. Hakai sat contently in her corner with a smirk on her face…this would be easier than she thought. [This was destined…I can just feel it! Everything will fall into place, all I have to do it play the pieces right.] The class calmed down as Terada Sensei cleared his throat again.
"I'm sure many of you will be disappointed…but instead of math today we will be planning the Rose Confessions," he declared with a grin on his face.
Sakura let out a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, I don't think I could handle math today!"
Syaoran grinned a little as he watched Sakura sigh in relief. [I wonder if she'll get me a rose… Is she really that serious about me…will she ever remember what we had before?] He pushed the many questions aside as he stood up to help with the planning.
"We need people to pass out the roses for those people who want to send roses. We also need people to stand at the booth for those people who like to give the roses personally. And we also need a whole crew of people to advertise the Rose Confessions. Oh! And please don't forget that we also need some people to help carry in the roses. We need at least those jobs, I will leave the rest of the planning to you!" Terada Sensei said as he waved his hand dismissing the class to start their planning.
The class turned to Sakura and her group because usually they were the ones to head each activity.
"Alright, let's plan which jobs we need first!" Tomoyo declared.
Within seconds desks were pulled together to form a circle that included everybody.
"Um…how about we have cards attached to each rose?" suggested a guy from the circle.
Chiharu's eyes widened, "That's a great idea! We can have two different cards!"
"Yah…and I was also thinking about putting the names on the cards. Then it'd be so much easier to deliver them," the guy continued.
"Hai! Then we will need some people to do the writing," Rika concluded as she scribbled down "card people" on a piece of paper.
As the entire class continued their discussion more and more great ideas were heard. The best Rose Confession that the school has ever seen were in their planning processes. However as the group roared with ideas, a voice seemed to put the entire class to silence.
"Can I be one of the people who delivers the roses to people?" Hakai asked in an extremely polite voice.
"Um…sure! We'll need a lot of people to do that!" Tomoyo said in an excited voice although she looked back at Hakai suspiciously.
Sakura glared at Hakai. [What are you planning…] Then she blinked and shook her head. [I think I'm being too paranoid…we do need jobs and everything…especially a lot of people who are willing to run around and deliver flowers…]
"Tomoyo-Chan, you should record the reactions of some people when people give the roses to somebody! And it will be aired on the school television!" Takashi stated also knowing her obsession with cameras.
Stars appeared in Tomoyo's eyes as she envisioned Sakura giving a rose to Syaoran. And Syaoran giving a rose back! And then they would kiss!!! She would be able to get it on film! A huge smile appeared on her face, "Yes…I think I will do that."
Hakai spoke up again, "We also need people who will stay at the booth the entire day to hand out roses to the people who want to give the roses personally." She turned her cold eyes to Sakura, "Tenshi-Chan…why don't you be one of those people?"
Sakura glared back, "Fine…I will."
Syaoran was about to yell, but restrained himself, "I'll stay at the booth too."
But somebody yelled, "Li-kun! You're one of the fastest people in the entire school! You should be a deliverer!"
The class nodded in agreement as Syaoran slumped down in his chair. Hakai directed her gaze to Sakura again and sent her an evil grin. [Everything is falling into place.] Hakai smiled to herself. Tomoyo, Meilin, and Eriol looked nervously at each other…something bad was going to happen. As the discussion ended the group was split up upon the various jobs. Sakura and Rika would be staying at the booth. Chiharu would be working on the cards. Syaoran and Takashi would be deliverers. Eriol would help carry in the boxes of roses. Meilin and Naoko were in charge of the advertising committee. Tomoyo was the person that would go around capturing scenes of the Rose Confessions.
The rest of the school day went on as normal. Everything as planned. The school's Cherry Blossom festival would be taking place in three weeks. That meant that the Rose Confessions would start in two weeks. The Rose Confessions always took place a week before the actual festival because then the new couples could go together. Everything had to be ready by the end of this week! It was already decided that two trucks of both white and red roses would be coming in. The roses would be tended to in order to keep them fresh. That's why Eriol had volunteered to bring in the roses, so he could use his magic to make the roses last longer.
Later at lunch, everybody was sitting in their usual circle under the large cherry blossom tree. The excitement of being in charge of the Rose Confessions was still running through all their minds.
Tomoyo leaned in closer to Sakura and whispered, "Are you planning to give Li-kun a rose?"
Sakura's eyebrows knit together as if she were thinking about it. She let out a small sigh and nodded, "Please don't tell him…?"
"Hai! Anything Sa…I mean Tenshi-Chan!" Tomoyo promised.
"It's ok…you can call me Sakura-Chan. I feel as if I've been really close friends with you…somehow…" Sakura gave a confused smile.
[Yes…you were my very best friend! We shared everything together…maybe you will remember some day… That is my one true wish.] Tomoyo smiled to herself as she closed herself thinking back to the time when she was still designing costumes for her card capturing days.
Sakura laughed a little, but as she opened her eyes she found herself standing in a place where time and space did not exist. She was flying through a place where windows were popping up all over the place. Each window had a different scene. The window she just soared by had Tomoyo watching the other Sakura…Kinomoto Sakura release her key for the first time. Although it was only for a second…the memory was buried into her mind. The more windows she passed, the more she remembered about her friendship with Tomoyo…no…her best friend. [I wonder…does she consider herself to be a best friend right now?] As Sakura was thinking this, she was also absorbing in all the windows of memories that passed by her. A window that had Tomoyo holding up a video camera zoomed by. However the memory that was held in that window was Sakura was dancing with Yukito-San at the high school festival when she was still in elementary school. More and more windows zoomed by until the last window came flying past her. This window had Tomoyo recording Sakura as Sakura modeled her latest battle costume that she was to wear to fight off a new evil that was threatening the town. The window stayed in front of Sakura as Tomoyo's voice rang clearly through her head.
"Please be careful Sakura…come back to all of us safely," Tomoyo had said although her lips weren't moving. She concluded that this was Tomoyo's thoughts that were running through her mind as she was recording Sakura.
[Will she accept me as her best friend now?] she wondered to herself as a bright light flashed through all the darkness. The reality began to seep through until she saw a clear image of two worried eyes staring down at her.
"Sakura? Can you hear me?" Syaoran's voice spoke out.
Sakura moved a little, but her body felt stiff and sore. "Syaoran? What happened?"
"I don't know… Tomoyo was talking to you and then suddenly you passed out! We took you to the nurse's office, but when you didn't wake up by the time school was over…I brought you back to my place."
"Oh… I was just remembering…"
Syaoran's eyes widened, "What do you remember?"
"Tomoyo was Kinomoto Sakura's best friend right? They were really close…"
"Yes, they were. She was the one that helped me confess my love to Kinomoto Sakura…"
"Oh," Sakura said as she turned her face away. "I'm so confused… Am I really that girl? I mean…I have memories of my childhood too! I grew up in this body! How could I also be that Sakura when I'm also this Sakura!" A lone tear trickled down her from her eyes. "Does this mean that my entire life is a lie…?"
"Oh Sakura… I can't even begin to imagine what you're feeling right now… I can only tell you that I think you're that same Sakura. Because she's the only girl I could ever…love."
She turned her face back to him. "Yes…you love her. And as long you think I'm her you'll love me too, is that right!?! What will happen if I'm NOT her! Then what will you do? I told you that I'm physic, I've always had a talent for seeing the past and future." She held back her tears. "I can sense that everybody isn't over her. Transferring to this school was a bad idea! I knew it…why didn't I listen to myself?"
Syaoran sat there speechless, he had no idea how to react to this. He had forgotten all the pain Sakura had experienced before. "I'll still love you even if you're not her."
"Really? I just heard that you will only love her!"
Sakura got off the couch and shoved him aside. Running out the doors she sprinted to the elevators and pushed the down button. Immediately the elevator doors flew open, Sakura stepped in hurriedly. Just as the doors were closing Syaoran ran in front of the closing doors.
"Leave me alone. I know you love her. Maybe you're just playing me to see if I am her. I don't ever want to see you AGAIN. It'll be better this way."
The doors closed and Sakura felt the elevator make its way to the first floor. While she was halfway between the floors, Syaoran pressed the down button again trying to bring that elevator car back up. When Sakura felt this, with her confusment and her anger she punched the stop button. The elevator was now stuck…between floors…with no exit.
"Dammit! I can never get anything right!" Syaoran yelled, punching the elevator doors.
Meanwhile Sakura collapsed on the elevator floor, sobbing. Nothing she said was true…she did believe that she was Kinomoto Sakura. And yet nothing made sense. She wanted to be with Syaoran forever, but she could never bare the fact that maybe she wasn't Kinomoto Sakura. She did love him…but he only loved her. Everything was tied up. Nothing made sense. To top things off she was afraid of closed spaces and being alone… The elevator was just that…closed and lonely. Even though she always gave the impression that she didn't need anybody, she had always needed somebody. She needed somebody to say that everything was going to be alright. And now she was stuck, so as she was blinded by everything negative she cried herself to sleep in the cold and lonely elevator.
Syaoran-and-sakura: Here is what happens next. But you won't find out whether Hakai or Sakura is chosen yet. But I swear I'm trying to get the story out!
Wolf of a Cherry Blossom: I agree with you Hakai is a…ugh… But I need somebody to be evil in this story. . Bites doesn't it? Thank you for reviewing both my stories. But the other story won't be updated until I finish this story!! I am so determined to try and finish this.
