CH.6 - Devastating Friendships
Hm... now that I think about it... I don't know how I could not have noticed Sakura's aura before. I guess it's because it used to be a soft, subtle one that just crept on you. But now it is quite a strong one. It sometimes emits a darker pink than her usual softer one, especially when she goes off to capture Clow Cards. I'm glad I'm allowed to stay free. But I am a bit saddened though, that my other friends must stay with their Card forms unless Sakura Mistress releases them. One I particularly miss is the Mirror Card. She was my best friend. It would be especially funny when she immitated Keroberos. It threw us into fits of laughter and I would feel something strong about her. That's how I was convinced that even Cards would feel love.
It has been a long time since the relapses of my heartaches, and I am glad. But it seems it might not end yet. How cruel life is! But I must go on...
I think I love Touya now. When I think about my love of Yue and Yukito, I feel a bit childish. It feels like I only had crushes, like Sakura had with Yukito. She did not love him like she thought she did, after he told her she did not. She was quite devastated at first, but she has calmed down, and is now her cheerful self again. I believe there is now a Chinese boy, who she is smiling upon.
I was being my loving self(I have to be! I'm the Love Card!^_^), and I had just served dinner. I sat down at the table to eate some food also. I was quite exhausted and Touya asked me how old I was. "Oh, thousands and thousands. I don't even count anymore." I replied, not thinking. When I realized what I said I gasped in horror. Sakura giggled because she obviously thought that I was making a joke. Fujitaka was also smiling. Touya frowned and I felt a power pushing, trying to push through my defenses. It was Touya. I felt it emitting from his body. Very subtly. "Er, I mean, I'm 17 years old." "Oh." he was the only one who sounded quite disappointed. Sakura looked at me wide-eyed and remarked, "I thought you must be a lot older because you make such good food!" I smiled. I was glad she thought my food was good. "Arigatou, Sakura-san." "Oh, hey! You're the same age as Onii-chan! Ooh, wouldn't that be cool if you guys went out?!" Touya looked at her like she was crazy. I blushed and tried to continue eating my food quietly. I peered through my long eyelashes. Fujitaka was looking at me with a smile. So was Sakura. I had to blush. I looked over at Touya. He wasn't looking anywhere, besides his food. Well, at least he likes the food. I excused myself when I realized I had finished. I went over to the sink to wash the dishes. I heard Sakura's cheerful voice saying, "I'm done too! I think I'm going to help Hinako!"
She came over. I told her that she could dry the dishes if she wanted to. She accepted and we cleaned the dishes. After a moment's silence she asked quietly, "I didn't embarrass you did I?" Poor girl. She was worried. I smiled and told her she didn't. She smiled. I always got into a happy mood when Sakura was happy also. It just lifted my heart to see her that way. We soon cleaned the rest of the dishes and cleared the table. She was going upstairs when I stopped her. I got some ice cream and got out two bowls. She at first was horrified at the thought, perhaps, that I knew her secret. I smiled and told her the second bowl was just for if she got hungry again a little bit later. She sighed with relief. In one of the bowls, I heaped up the toppings, in the other one I didn't put so much. "I hope you don't get so hungry you need more toppings," I grinned. She smiled and balanced the two bowls as she carefully carried them upstairs. I was certain she would give one bowl to Keroberos. I quietly went upstairs and put my ear to the door to make sure. I was right. "Yum, Sakura! My favorite!" "You like it? Hinako made it. She said they were both for me so I decided to give you one!" "Awesome!" I smiled and went back downstairs to my own room. Hai, I have gotten my own room now that I'm staying here.
I usually do not sleep at night until I know Sakura is asleep in her room. When her aura fades away, I know she and Keroberos have gone to capture a Card. I can also feel their presence. After all, they ARE my friends, and I am a fellow Card as they are. Unfortunately, they can sense me also and sometimes they come to me, but I always have to tell them that they cannot stay and that this is the Mistress' home. When her aura glows once more upstairs, I know she is safe and I sleep also. This night, I slept with the face of Touya's smile floating about in my dreams.
Sometimes, they have come in the daytime. Like today...
My best friend has returned! I was happy when I saw felt her aura, except I saw her aura in Sakura! I was greatly puzzled, but tried not to show it. "Hungry, Sakura?" "Nope, arigatou Hinako!" I smiled at her everlasting politeness. She hugged me and ran out the door. The hug surprised me though. I was even more surprised when down came Sakura AGAIN, but in her pajamas. I stared in disbelief as she yawmed and stretched her arms. "Uh, here you go, Sakura. Breakfast." "Yum! Pancakes! Arigatou Hinako!" Sakura look-alike? This one felt like the real one though. Maybe my old friend is playing a trick on me.
Perhaps not. Sakura came home very depressed. I took one look at her and hugged her. I lifted her chin up and saw her eyes, shiny with tears not fallen. "What is wrong, Sakura-san?"
"Everything! Everyone thinks I did something horrible, but I didn't, I didn't! You believe me right?" she looked up again, with hope in her eyes. "Of course, I do." I reassured her. She smiled and started talking again. "I told that to everyone else. But they teased me and said that maybe I had an evil twin. Waahh!" "Shh, don't cry." It distressed me to see her cry. "We'll find out who did it, okay?" I wiped her tears off. She smiled a watery grin. "Okay." She ran uppstairs. Maybe to tell Keroberos. I felt my friend nearby. I looked outside. What I saw devastated me. My friend, as Saakura Mistress, was ruining bushes and tossing things around. I was shocked at her behavior. How could she do this? Could this perhaps be a test for Sakura Mistress? I quickly caught up to my friend and stopped her before she could go on further.
"What exactly are you after?" I asked her quietly, not wanting to frighten her, but wanting an answer. My friend is her mischievous self. She gave me no answer, she just grinned at me and sent me a mental picture. It took me a while to figure it out. When I did, I gasped.
"Touya-san?" I asked incredulously. She grinned, then she ran off, my hand's grip slipping off. Oh no! She can't take Touya away! My image of his smile and the image of him in flowers that my friend sent me was too much. I went back into the house quickly where I met Sakura again. "Ahh! You scared me Sakura-san!"
She looked like she was about to cry again. "You don't think that was me did you?" "No, of course not." I reassured her, but she didn't seem convinced. I sat down on their couch and she sat down next to me. Then I went through all the reasons I had floating around my head as to why I didn't think it was her. My head was exhausted by the time I finished for lack of reasons, but Sakura seemed much more reassured. She went upstairs. I went to the kitchen to clean the dishes with the cake I had made. Suddenly, I felt power drifting my way and I hurried out of the house to follow it.
I saw the whole thing. I saw her almost kill Touya. I rushed over to him when he was on the ground. He was in great pain. I wanted to help him but he was much too heavy for me. "H-H-Hinako?" he stuttered with agony written on his face. "Hai.... Hush now..." I would have comforted him further had not my friend stopped me. She looked at me sternly. I looked at her carefully. Hai, I must leave. I lay his head gently down again and left as quickly as possible. "D-Don't l-leave me..." I'm sorry... I must... Sakura came soon after.
I am glad that she captured my friend, Mirror, but I was also deeply saddened. If she had not hurt Touya, and if she didn't nearly ruin Sakura's reputation, then that would have been a great joke. Perhaps it is I who changed. Or her. I do not know. As I watched her capture her, I saw the most horrible thing happen. I saw her kiss Touya. I couldn't bear to watch and I went back as quickly as possible.
I have gotten notice, along with the rest of the Kinomoto family, that Touya is alright and he just broke a couple of bones. We went to the hospital. Fujitaka looked sad, Sakura gave him a cake, and I was crying. He was just wondering how he got hurt. The family soon left, even though they didn't want to. I told the nurse my reasons for staying and the she allowed me to stay a couple minutes behind. I knelt beside him and looked at him. "You don't feel hurt or anything right?" I asked anxiously. He smiled. I enjoy seeing him smile. "No, I'm just fine." "Good, get better soon." I kissed his forehead and left quickly.
I believe I am in love once again.
