The boys however, could not see the angels presently, but all except one
felt a twinge in their hearts as an angel whispered her love for him.
Sakura, the short auburn-haired angel turned to the others, Tomoyo (the raven-kissed maiden), Rika (the short silver wavy angel), Chiharu (the fine auburn-brown girl), and Naoko (the short straight-haired heart) who were gazing into a candle to see a close-up image of their love, and asked, "Should we go down to meet them?"
"Oh!" softly exclaimed Tomoyo and she placed her hand over her heart. Chiharu, blushing, nodded sweetly. Naoko looked down at the ground and covered her own flaming cheeks. Rika, had a somewhat sad look on her face.
"Douka shita no?" Chiharu asked her, concerned.
"No… I will be fine. It's just that if we find our true loves today, we might never ever see each other again. I-I-I will miss all of you so much. A-ano ne, what if the one I love, or you love, does not love you back? I am afraid of being a flower for eternity," she replied, with tears bated on her eyelashes.
"Oh!" Sakura became fearful as well. Tomoyo closed her eyes to steady her breath and Chiharu turned paler. But, it was actually Naoko who spoke.
"Minna-chan, minna-chan, we must put our faith in destiny. Perhaps we were fated to be flowers. We will always carry each other in our hearts and the memories will live on forever. Don't be afraid." Sakura and Rika gently wiped tears off with their handkerchiefs.
"If we are to never meet again, please, remember, I love you, minna-chan," Tomoyo ventured and the other four nodded agreement. Sakura was the first to jump over. She slowly drifted down the way her namesake often does. Chiharu leaped next, floating down. Naoko and Tomoyo jumped at the same moment and each followed after Sakura and Chiharu. Rika cast one last look at her love and bounced down with the others.
"Flaming- arg! How am I supposed to get past this?" the young prince Syaoran impatiently scowled, "A fence of fire is just plain unfair. I don't want to have to muss up my clothing, for I fear the angels will look at me with contempt," he sighed.
"Bah! You gaki! [A/N: Somethings never change x_X] What do you think you are doing here, looking for a bride so sweet as these?" bellowed a noble from behind Syaoran. Annoyed, Syaoran wheeled around. "Prince Syaoran, these girls are not for such a scoundrel as you!" growled nobleman Touya.
"Nobleman- Touya, how do you muster the gall to call me a gaki and scoundrel?" asked Syaoran.
"Easily enough! Normally I am a law-abiding citizen, but these angels belong to those pure of heart!" Touya replied, glaring. Friction crackled in the air surrounding the two.
"Hmm, my fair lady, would you mind letting me past?" asked a quiet young man, Yukito, from royal blood.
"Nandatta?! My job is to prevent that!" replied the Fairy messenger, with surprise written across her face. "Huh? Excuse me, but I don't actually understand that," answered Yukito while scratching his head, his eyes round. "Good day, to you two," a voice called from behind and when they turned, they saw a handsome young man standing behind them.
