Nadeshiko sings to Sakura is also mine as I wrote it.
Like A Shooting Star
Chapter 1
A little girl of about 3 years of age was in the car, talking to her mother who was driving.
"Sakura, don't pull too hard on that chain or you'll break it and Touya will be upset. After all, he did give it to you for your birthday," Nadeshiko scolded as the girl pulled on her locket.
"But mummy, it's so nice. And Touya would want me to play with it," Sakura said, happily pulling at the locket to open it again. Inside was a picture of her family and her best friend Tomoyo's family all together.
"You don't want to break it the first day that you have though, do you? If you break it then you can never play with it again," Nadeshiko reminded her daughter gently as she drove, trying to persuade her daughter for the 10th time since they had left the house not to play with her locket.
"I suppose," Sakura stopped playing with it and shut the locket, "When are we going to get there mummy?"
"Soon, Sakura, we're almost there," her mother answered.
"Will you sing me that lullaby you always sing?" Sakura was sleepy and she wanted to sleep.
"Alright, my little Cherry blossom," Nadeshiko replied and she began to sing.
"When you're lonely, girl don't you see? I'll be here beside you, but you can't see me When you're sad and lonely too Like a shooting star I'll come to you."
She glanced down quickly and saw that her daughter was asleep. She smiled and looked up. She had only glanced down for a second, but out of nowhere a car had appeared that was going fast on the wrong side of the road. She quickly turned the wheel to avoid the car, but her car went straight over the side of the road and the other car, which had also swerved to avoid being hit, slammed straight into it. Nadeshiko's car was pushed into the water, and no one noticed as a little body fell out of the car and floated on its back down with the current, unconscious.

Fujitaka and Touya were putting some food in the oven to cook when the phone rang.
"Just put this in son, and then wait for me. I'll go get the phone," Fujitaka told his son as he headed for the phone.
"Hello? Kinomoto Fujitaka speaking," he spoke into the phone as he answered it.
"Hello, Kinomoto Fujitaka, this is Lu Azuma of the police department," a male voice came through the phone and Fujitaka felt his heart sink, "I'm calling to inform you that your wife has been taken to hospital in a serious condition after a bad car accident." Fujitaka felt his heart drop to the floor.
"Is she going to be okay," he asked, trying to keep the worry and sadness out of his voice because Touya had come and was listening.
"She is in a very serious condition at the moment, the car slammed into her side of the car, where she was sitting," the voice sounded sad at delivering such news, "I'm really sorry, but that's all I can help you with."
"Wait! What about my daughter?" Fujitaka asked, hoping that she would tell him that Sakura was okay.
"Daughter?" the voice sounded confused, "What about your daughter? I don't understand."
"My daughter was in the car with my wife. Do you know if she is okay?" Fujitaka desperately needed the man to tell him that his daughter was okay, then he could go to the hospital to see them.
"There was nobody else in the car when it was found. There was a seat that a small child would sit in, but otherwise there was nothing. That half of the car was submerged in water, so the child could have been pulled by the current, but if she was in that seat, I would think that she had drowned. I'm really sorry," the voice now seemed to be filled with pity as it told him this last bit of news.
"Thank you for telling me, I'll go see my wife now. If you find anything about my daughter, please tell me," Fujitaka's voice sounded husky, as if he was just about to cry.
"I will and I'm sorry that this has happened. I hope that your wife gets better and that we find your daughter," the man wished him and then hung up.
"What's the matter dad?" Touya asked his father as Fujitaka began to cry.
"We're going to the hospital Touya, so go get ready quickly," his father told him through his tears.
"But what about Sakura and Mum? Do they know to go the hospital?" Fujitaka looked down at his 10 year old son and almost burst into tears again.
"Don't worry Touya, your mother's already there," he couldn't tell him about Sakura, he'd tell him at the hospital. Touya raced to get ready and soon they were heading for the hospital.

Mr. and Mrs. Hoay were walking down the bank of the river, mourning the recent loss of their 3 year old daughter Alice. Mrs. Hoay was crying as she thought of her sweet daughter. She could still vividly remember Alice's honey coloured hair and her sparkling dark green eyes that were full of mischief. They were strolling along quietly when Mr. Hoay saw something floating in the river.
"What's that?" he asked his wife, pointing to it, "It looks like a child."
"It is a child!" Taryn Hoay exclaimed to her husband and they ran to the edge of the river. Jonathon Hoay waded up to where the little girl lay unconscious, her clothing hooked onto a tree branch that was sticking out of the water. It was a good thing that it had been there, or the girl would have surely hit her head on the rocks further down the river.
"Quickly Jon, get her to the house before she catches pneumonia or something," Taryn commanded and they rushed down the bank of the river to their house. As soon as they got there they put the unconscious girl into the nearest bed they could find and Taryn went quickly to start boiling some water. Jonathon went over to the heater and switched it on as high as it could go to warm the room and the girl. This done he rushed to help his wife with the water and hot water bottles.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
When Fujitaka and Touya reached the hospital, they asked for directions to Nadeshiko's room. Upon arriving at the room they were directed to, they found Nadeshiko still unconscious. Touya raced to the side of the bed and held his mother's hand.
"You didn't tell me that mum was the one IN hospital," he accused his dad, "where's Sakura?" Fujitaka sighed at his son's question.
"They don't know where Sakura is; they didn't find her. They were in a car crash on the way to your grandfather's house and they crashed somewhere near water, so the police said. They think that your sister was dragged away by the current and- and they think that- that she d-drowned," suddenly he couldn't hold his tears in anymore at the sight of his son's face and they both broke down and cried, hoping against all hope that the little girl that they all loved was still alive.
End Of Chapter One.
