***** flash backs
"Two more weeks," I said to myself,"Two more weeks till the day comes again." In two weeks it will be two years. Two years since that day happened. It was all my fault. If I hadn't wanted to go so badly he would still be here. If I hadn't wanted to get away for the summer he wouldn't have gone away. If I hadn't been so selfish……. He would still be here.
I kept thinking while I was walking out of the university. Today was the last day of school for the year and when I come back again it would be my last year of collage. I am 5.4 feet tall if you want to know with shoulder length auburn hair. I have glossy green eyes. Or at least I thought they were glossy. Most people tell me that they are angelic. I don't think so. My usually happy green eyes are sad right now.
"Sakura!" Tomoyo called as she broke my train of thoughts. She is my best friend who was 5.4 feet tall. Not much taller. She has black waist length wavy hair. She has sapphire like eyes that were almost purple. And for some reason she always has a video camera on her hand. She has a whole room full of video collections of me that is bedroom size.
"Sakura!" Tomoyo called again as she ran up to me with a camcorder in hand. I replaced my sad eyes with happy ones as best as I could. Though I knew she would know better. "Hey," I said when she was beside me.
"Are you ok?" she asked with concern in her voice and worry on her face.
"Yea, I'm fine," I answered back and kept walking with her by my side.
"Good," she said but she knew better, "So what are we doing over vacation?" she ask changing the subject. Thank God.
"Same thing as last year I guess."
"Oh," was all she said. I could tell she was disappointed. Last summer wasn't all that fun. That was because it was my fault. We went to pool and beach parties sure, but never actually got in the water. At least I didn't. So of course Tomoyo kept me company, except when Eriol wanted to be with Tomoyo alone. So I let them. Eriol is Tomoyo's boyfriend for about 5 years now. Now that I think about it, their anniversary is coming up soon. Eriol was our age and was 5.6 ft tall. Has short dark blue hair and wore glasses. But he is really cute. He also has deep blue eyes and always, always wore a smile on his face. He always smiles. That was what was freaky about him. Like the fact Tomoyo always has a video camra. They are also both mischievous. So basically they were prefect for each other. I on the other hand was lonely.
"Maybe we could ask Eriol what he is going to do later," Tomoyo spoke again as reached the park. It was one of my favorite places. We were usually here after school.
"Ask me what?" Eriol asked coming towards us. That was another thing that was freaky about him, he was so mysterious.
"What we are going to do over the vacation," Tomoyo answered as she kissed hi cheek and he kissed back.
"Oh. I have everything planned out for our vacation and of course Sakura is coming with us too," he said.
"Oh really? And when I suppose to know about this, hmm?" Tomoyo asked as she lifted her eye brow.
"Just now. I wanted it to be a surprise for you," he answered back.
"I don't think I should go," I said, "I'll just get in the way of you two," I really didn't want to go. I just wanted to stay home.
"But I couldn't just leave here I'm going to take Tomoyo away for about 3 to 4 weeks. So I decided to bring you along with a cousin of mine," he answered calmly as if all the problems were solved.
"Three to four weeks, huh? And what I was busy during those weeks? And Sakura doesn't want to go? And where are you planning on taking us? And who is your cousin? A guy?" Tomoyo asked with eye brow lifted higher.
"My, my, my, Tomoyo. So many questions," he answered sweetly, "Don't you trust me?" Tomoyo still has her eye brow lifted an Eriol still smiling ever since he got here. "I have all of taken care of as I said before. I went to your mother first so she knows where you will be and she kindly cleared out your schedule so I think you would be free. As for Sakura," he said turning to me. Smile turning bigger, "I could also black mail her into going or do something a little drastic. And yes, my cousin is a guy. Not only does he need to get out more but he is picky when it comes to girls."
I thought about this for a while. Maybe I should go. To clear my mind a little. I do need to get out. Plus I won't be alone when Eriol and Tomoyo are alone. Even if it is a guy. And nothing would go wrong. "Where and when are we going?" I asked.
Tomoyo lifted her eye brow higher. I didn't think she could do that. I stared at her in awe. "Since when are you interested in going?" Tomoyo asked snapping me back to reality. "I haven't even said I was going and plus you know Eriol might just set you up with his cousin? And are you sure you are ready go some where for vacation?" Tomoyo asked worriedly.
I nodded my head. "Tomoyo, this is good for me. I'll get a chance to clear my mind a little," I said. But I wasn't sure about Eriol setting me up with his cousin. He could be just like Eriol and I wasn't ready for two Eriols.
"Fine, I give. I'll go along with this too," Tomoyo said.
"Oh Tomoyo!!! Thank you!!!" I said jumping up and down and giving Tomoyo and Eriol and hug and forgetting what Tomoyo said about Eriol hooking me up with his cousin. Funny, I never thought I would be this happy to get out. Maybe that was what I wanted for a while. But I could because I didn't think it would be right.
"So where are we going and when?" I asked again with enthusiasm and happiness I haven't felt for a long time.
"It will be next week on Monday. So that gives you four days to get ready since its Wednesday. As far as where we are going, it's going to be a surprise. Especially for you Sakura," Eriol said smiling and hugging Tomoyo at the same time.
"Hoe?" was all I said. It was all I could think of. So I said it again, "Hoe?"
"Let's just say it might help you with your little fear of water," he said.
"Hoe!" I screamed. Now I was scared. I was scared for what Eriol had in mind for me. I was so scared that I was shaking. I didn't even hear Tomoyo scolding Eriol about helping me get over my fear.
The truth was, I was scared for water and small planes. Sure I could take showers and stuff, but to go swimming at a beach or pool…….. That was a different story. I couldn't even take a bath without being scared out of my mind. The closest I got to taking a bath in 2 years was if the water was about 12 inches or so and yet I was still a little scared. Water and small planes reminded me too much of-
"Sakura, are you alright?" Tomyo asked stepping up to me. Eriol looked at me worriedly, but still smiling the slightest bit.
"Yeah, sure. I'm alright," I said shaky. I smiled to reassure them that I was fine.
"Sakura, you don't have to go if you don't want to," Eriol said.
I shook my head, "I want to go. I'm tired of being afraid of water. I mean its water, right?" I laughed flakily. Determination shone in my eyes. I was tried of being afraid because of the past. Past was past, right? Besides, what happened 2 years ago will not happen again. I was going to face my fears head on.
"That's the spirit Sakura," Eriol said smiling really big. Doesn't he ever stop smiling? What ever determination I had died down a little when I saw him with that smile.
"Are you sure about this?" Tomoyo asked. I nodded my head. Her expression changed from worried to happy in a blink of an eye. She looked like she had stars in her eyes. "Then that means I get to video tape you getting rid of your fears!" she exclaimed. "Don't bring that much clothes because I'll be making some for you. And I get to video tape you in them! This will be like old times! Oh how I miss those days! Oh bout right now we should be consecrating on the future you having you get rid of your fears. I have so many ideas on what I'm going to make for your new clothes! This trip will be the best!" Tomoyo ramble on and on.
Somewhere there I managed a, "Hoe!"
"Alright then. It's all settled. I'll pick you ladies up at Tomoyo's house on Monday morning at 10:30, okay? We'll meet my cousin at the airport. Bye," and with that he kissed Tomoyo on the cheek and left.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Toyua, I'm home!" I said with happiness when I got home.
"Welcome home kaijuu. You sound really happy today," Touya said coming from the kitchen. Touya grew to be 5.8 feet tall with short, orderly, neat dark brown hair. He worked at the university as the soccer couch. But on some days and on weekends we both work together at Yukito's restaurant. Yuki is Touya's best friend for like forever and my first crush when I was 10 years old. He is 5.6 feet tall with short white like white hair and loves to eat. I guess that's why he started a restaurant six years ago. By his second year into the business, Yuki already owed 3 restaurants. Now he has 12 all over Japan, but he still lives here in with us. Not in the same house. Touya is the manager of Yuki's only restaurant here.
"I'm not a kaijuu and I have a reason for being happy today," I said as I stomped on his foot and he yelled in pain. Touya has been calling me kaijuu (monster) ever since I was 7 and I would always stomp on his foot. You think by now he would stop calling me that now that I'm 20.
"I hope you didn't meet a guy," Touya said, his eyes darkening. He is such an overprotective brother. Especially now.
"Nope, I didn't. Eriol is taking Tomoyo and me somewhere for vacation next week. He said it would be a surprise to where we are going," I said happily as I helped Touya cook dinner. I did not tell him that Eriol's cousin will be there too.
"Oh. Hoe long?"
"Three to four weeks. He told us while we were at the park."
"Ok. As long as Eriol is there with you guys. I like that kid. He is responsible, smart, nice, …..," and freaky I thought to myself, " I should call him and tell him to punch out any guy that goes near you kaijuu," Touya continued.
O brother. This is going to be along night.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That night I dreamt about what happened 2 years ago. We were at a small plane. So small that it only needed one pilot. And we only had one. Not too many people were on board. Maybe 6 or 7. we just came from staying at an island for about 2 weeks. The ocean we were flying over was beautiful. Especially now since the sun was setting.
Then something unexpected happened. The pilot got a heart attack and died. The plane starts to go down. Everyone is screaming and one person tries to move the plane, but fails. I was too scared to scream. To scared to move. The plane is on the ocean and going down. Everyone is screaming louder and fumbling with their set belts. The same person who tried to fly the plane is now trying to open the door. The plane is down the ocean. The person succeeds and water starts to flow in fast.
We are way down in the ocean now. The same person is trying to open my set belt and at the same time trying to bring me back to reality. I still can't move. I gripped my stuff yellow bear like with wings animal named Kero. My life flashes before my eyes. From the time my mother died to when I was three and going and going. On and on. Faster and faster. Then I was brought back to reality. My set belt is unbuckled and I was drowning. He grabbed my hand and we started swimming. But we were going up too slow.
I wanted to let go of him so he could keep swimming and live.
I was stopping him from doing so. I was the one bringing us to our deaths. But he wouldn't let go. No, he would never let go of me. Even if it meant his life. We stayed still for a moment just looking at each other. Than the current starts to pull me away from him. We can't hold on to each other much longer. I needed air. He needed air even more. I started to go down again.
I'm too tired to move. I want to sleep. Sleep was what I wanted. Yes, sleep. I started to close my eyes, but the person is going back for me. I look at horror at him. What was he doing? He was going to die. I didn't want him to die here, because of me. When he reached me I blacked out.
I woke up out of breathe and with a cold sweat. It hurt. It still hurts. After all these years it hurt a lot. I could forgive myself. I pick up Kero. The stuff animal I had received from before he…….. Kero brought me comfort when I woke up at night from that dream. I hugged Kero tightly.
I'm sorry otousan………………
Also, I do not own CCS.

"Two more weeks," I said to myself,"Two more weeks till the day comes again." In two weeks it will be two years. Two years since that day happened. It was all my fault.
