"You must be mistaken, Hotaru…. Edea, now she, she is a sorceress!" Rinoa exclaimed.
Hotaru held both Rinoa's hands and looked at her in the eye. "No. You are just perfect."
Rinoa gently pushed Hotaru away as she digested her words. "HOW?" she told her.
"I will tell you soon...but for now, we must leave this place..." the little girl said.
"Where will we go?" Rinoa asked.
Hotaru looked at her with a surprised look on her face. "To your place, of course"
"Oh! ...Of course!" the SeeD smiled silly.

Chapter 6 - Revealed Secrets
"Come here, little girl, let me heal you" a short, blonde-haired woman wearing glasses told her.
Sakura stared at the woman. "Wh-who are you?" she asks.
The woman just stared at her and smiled. A smile that made her feel the emptiness in her heart that was long forgotten.
~flashback~
Little Sakura walked along the corridors of her new found home. It was a school, a school where people learned about the world and how to defend oneself.
As she walked a little further, she noticed that a woman wearing a blue shirt and white skirt walking towards her.
"Hello. You must be that new girl Sakura. I'm Ellone. How are you?" she sweetly asked.
Sakura smiled. "I am and I'm lost…"
Ellone giggled at how joyfully Sakura explained her predicament. "This is a really big place, it's best if I go with you. Where do you want to go?"
Sakura was about to answer when her stomach began to grumble.
There was silence.
Sakura blushes.
"*giggle* you must be hungry. Let's go to the canteen. I'll treat you hotdogs…deal?" Ellone asked, smiling.
Sakura smiles gleefully, takes Ellone's extended hand and nods.
After they had bought their hotdog, Ellone studied the little girl beside her munching happily on her hotdog. "you look kinda lonely. Are you ok?"
"um…yeah!" she happily lied. Though she DID feel a certain loneliness inside of her, she didn't want to tell anybody.
~end~
And before Sakura knew it, she was in the warm embrace of the stranger. And the feeling made her complete inside.
"Sakura…please come back soon," the woman said as she faded away.

"Sakura! Sakura!" Shayla-shayla shouted as she shook Sakura.
Selphie came in just in time to stop Shayla-shayla from totally scrambling Sakura's brains. "Shayla! Stop that!!! What are you doing?!?!?"
The red-head looked at her with watery eyes. "s-sh-e w-was m-mo-an-moaning......" she blurted out.
Selphie gently held Shayla's hand and pulled it away from Sakura's shoulders. She knew that Shayla-shayla had taken care of Sakura when she first came at the Garden and their bonding became stronger every day. Shayla treated Sakura like a little sister and gave her TLC*, no one would dare come near Sakura and harm her or make her cry, lest they anted to face the wrath of Shayla-Shayla, which was nothing close to merciful.
"she'll be fine. She might have been having a bad dream….don't worry" she comforted. "you better sleep. I'll stand watch now, and don't worry, you'll be the first person to know if anything comes up."
"thanks." Shayla said, then standing up and headed towards the door, and left.

"You OK buddy?" Irvine told his spike-headed companion.
"yeah. Thanks." Cloud replied. "this airship is HUGE! Cid would surely like this!" he suddenly said.
"Cid? As in Cid Kramer - has an obsession for planes?" he suddenly asked.
"Cid Kramer? Since when did he change his name to Kramer?"
"It wasn't Kramer before?" Irvine looked at Cloud.
"yep. It was Highwind, Cid Highwind." Cloud replied.
Irvine gave out a low wistle. "WOW! I didn't know THAT. I'll make sure you meet him once we get there."
"thanks." he heard Aeris' voice inside his thoughts. he replied.
There was a moment of silence.
"so, where are you from?" Irvine broke the silence.
Aeris told him again. "uh…Esthar……" he replied to Irvine.
Irvine looked at him, "Esthar?? That's quite far from Island Closest To Hell…"
Aeris' voice shouted in his mind. Cloud replied to her, close his eyes and slept.
"Cloud?……….Cloud?" Irvine looked at his companion. "fainted." He murmured.
* * *
Rinoa looked at her companion who looked like any other kid on the block. she thought as she looked outside the train.
"Tell that I'm a student who wants to enroll in the Garden." her companion replied.
"how..."
Hotaru looked at her. "I can read thoughts...and don't worry, I didn't read your memories."
