Like A Shooting Star
Chapter 5
Syaoran was still in shock as the bell rang for lunch. The new girl had the same colour hair and the same happy emerald eyes as his best friend had had so long ago. The only difference between the two was that this girl was older, but Sakura would be older now too. He hated the new girl for reminding him so much of his dead friend. He had been remembering her lately, but not like this. He hoped that "Alice" would leave him alone and he watched as she was surrounded by most of his classmates. It looked like she was going to be popular. He slipped out of the room with his lunch and went and ate his lunch sitting in his favourite Cherry Blossom tree.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Sakura was glad when the bell rang for lunch. It meant that they would stop doing maths, her worst subject. After people had gotten out their lunches, a lot of them flocked to see the new girl.
"Hi!" they called out cheerfully and Sakura was suddenly overwhelmed as she found that she knew the names of all the people around her.
"Hi, I have this weird feeling that I know all of you, but I don't know why. I've never been here in my life and yet I know all of your names. Tomoyo, Eriol, Chiharu, Naoko, Rika, Takashi and Meilin," Sakura said these names as she went around the circle and the person who she was naming looked at her in surprise.
"How did you do that? I don't think that I've ever met you before in my life, and yet you know my name! I remember that there was a girl who used to live here that looked like you, but she died in a car accident when she was three. She was one of my good friends, but. are you sure that you've never been here before? You do look a lot like Sakura Kinomoto. And they never found her body, so it's possible that you are her you know," Takashi, or Tak as he was called, was the person who said this.
"I don't think so. I can't really remember anything before I turned three, but my parents told me that I have never been here before. They said that I had a bit of amnesia because a dog pushed me into the river and I hit my head on a rock," Sakura was getting a bit scared. For some reason the name Sakura Kinomoto was very familiar to her, almost as if it was her own name.
"I guess that you can't be her then. It's strange but we all knew her and she was a really great friend to all of us. Anyway, lets go outside, it's such a beautiful day. Hey, where did Syaoran go?" Tomoyo asked, looking around for the boy.
"Probably gone outside already. He's not exactly the friendliest guy in the world," Eriol replied with no hint of sarcasm in his voice, "come on lets go!" Eriol was glad that they had changed the subject, because he knew the true identity of 'Alice Hoay' as he could sense a bit of her aura. Syaoran hadn't been able to sense it because she kept it hidden, but when they had mentioned Sakura's name, her control had slipped a bit and he had known that the girl was Sakura Kinomoto, but she didn't know it yet.
They all walked outside, talking to the people around them. Sakura couldn't help but think that she knew the people who were all around her, but she knew that it was impossible.
'But is it impossible? You know their names before you've supposedly ever met them and when they mentioned that guy Syaoran, you remembered a brown haired, amber eyed boy waving to you in a sandpit. You recognize your house as Rika's and you remember playing there. You never remember what they call you, but you've been having flashbacks like these ever since you came to this town. Are you sure that it's just a coincidence?' these thoughts rushed through her head as they walked outside and she wished that she knew the truth for certain.
"Hey Syaoran! Come down from the tree," Eriol called up to an amber eyed boy who was sitting in a tree, staring up into space. The boy just turned around and glared at him. Eriol just laughed.
"You're not very nice you know, you haven't even said hello to the new girl!" Meilin called up and he jumped down from the tree.
"So? I don't want to say hello to the new girl and I don't have to if I don't want to," he replied coldly and he walked away from them and disappeared.
"Don't mind him Alice, he's always like that. He was a lot nicer when he was younger, but then Sakura died and he turned away from all of us. Sakura was his best friend and he worshipped her. It was a long time ago, but he still won't get over it," Tomoyo explained as they all watched him go, "anyway, lets eat our lunch or we'll never finish it before class." They sat down and ate their lunches, chatting about whatever came into their heads until the bell that signaled 5 minutes until classes began rang.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Once Syaoran had gotten out of their sight, he slowed down and walked back to the classroom. He knew that it would be empty, so he would have time alone.
'That girl, Alice, why does she have to taunt me by looking like her? She even seems to have the same happy attitude that makes everyone who is around her happy. It's not fair, why does God want to taunt me so much? First he took away the girl that I loved when we were so young, then he had to send someone who looks exactly as she would here to taunt me. Wait a minute, did I just say the girl that I loved? No, I must be going crazy or something. Sakura was my best friend, I wasn't in love with her. Or was I? It doesn't matter now. She's gone and now this new girl has come and is so much like Sakura it's not funny. Why did this happen to me?' he sat at his desk with these thoughts repeating themselves in his mind, over and over. They kept on repeating all afternoon and he got in trouble for daydreaming and not paying attention. He hadn't even noticed that class had started. He sighed and tried to concentrate on what the teacher was saying.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
6 YEARS LATER (sorry to skip ahead so fast, but nothing was going to happen then unless I skipped time.)
Syaoran was still ignoring Sakura, still thinking that she was Alice and she still didn't know her true identity. They were now 16 years old and were now going to the high school.
"Hi Alice! What classes do you have today?" Chiharu asked as she and Naoko came up to Sakura at her locker.
"Hey guys! Um. I have a history class first, then I don't have any more classes today. I have to go to the orthodontist that is in a town that's pretty far from here, so I get the rest of the day off," Sakura replied as she got out her history books, "what about you guys?"
"You're lucky! We have geography first, then maths, then English and then finally we have art. I wish I could miss most of the day," Chiharu complained and then she perked up a bit, "hey, have you got a date for the dance yet? I heard that Eriol asked Tomoyo to go with him, and she said yes! Can you imagine that?"
"Really? That's great! I knew that he liked her, but I wasn't really sure. Tomoyo must be really happy that he asked her, I know she wanted to go with him!" Sakura was really happy for her friend because she knew that Tomoyo deserved to be happy after her father had passed away two years ago, "as for me, I don't have a date yet, and I'm not really looking for one. My friend Zach said that he might come from my old town to take me, but I'm not really sure."
"Ooh, are you sure that he's JUST your friend?" Naoko asked and Sakura blushed.
"Yes, he's just my best friend and nothing more. He's got a girlfriend, one of my other really good friends and they've been going out since I still lived there! Anyway, I don't like him that way, so even if he wasn't taken I wouldn't go out with him," Sakura told them honestly. She loved him as a brother and she was really happy for him that he had a girlfriend.
"Okay, whatever you say Alice. Anyway, there's the bell, so we'd better get going or Mrs. Zerafa is going to crack it at us!" the pair rushed off and Sakura quickly ducked into her classroom before the teacher arrived.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Hey Syaoran, do you want to go to the dance with me?" Meilin was asking him as he stood at his locker, getting his books out.
"For the last time Meilin I'm not going to that stupid dance! I hate dances and so I'm not going!" he glared at her, trying to get her to leave him alone. He was still the same cold and unfriendly guy that he had been 6 years ago, "now leave me alone!"
"But Syaoran-" she stopped as he glared at her and she ran off to her geography class without saying another word.
"I see you're still having that effect on people," came a voice behind him.
"Go away Eriol, I can do what I want. Meilin is annoying and she never leaves me alone," Eriol was basically the only person other than Meilin who was brave enough to talk to Syaoran these days. Syaoran seemed to snap at anyone who talked to him, but Eriol never seemed to care and had taken Syaoran as his best friend.
"I know you can do what you want, but poor Meilin only wants to be your friend. Have you got something against people being friendly or something?" Eriol came and unlocked his locker, which was next to Syaoran's.
"Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Why do you care anyway?" Syaoran was in a bad mood because today that 'Alice' girl was in all of his classes.
"I'm your best friend, it's my duty to care when you are rejecting everybody. Besides, I have nothing else to do," Eriol joked, trying to lighten Syaoran up, "let me guess. Today Alice is in all of your classes, am I right? You're only this bad when that happens. What do you have against the girl anyway? You haven't said a word to her for the last 6 years."
"None of your business. Yes, she is in all of my classes today and I hate her guts! Why do I have to be the one in all of her classes?" Syaoran grumbled more to himself than to Eriol. He still couldn't get over the fact that Alice reminded him so much of his little Sakura.
"Because it says so on your timetable. Anyway, at least I'm in your first class," they both closed their lockers at the same time as the bell that told them to go to class went, "so you don't have to face her alone."
"Yeah whatever," Syaoran mumbled as they walked into the classroom and almost bumped into Sakura who had just dashed in there. They sat down in seats that were as far away from Sakura as Syaoran could manage to find and the lesson began.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Sakura was glad when the history lesson finally finished. For some reason she kept on feeling that something bad was going to happen today, and she couldn't shake off the feeling.
"Lucky! Now you get to go home," Tomoyo said as she came up to her, "I've got to get through maths next. Luck me!" Tomoyo opened her locker and almost threw her history books into it.
"Hey, I heard that Eriol asked you to the dance, did he?" Sakura asked, wanting to know if it was true.
"Yeah. He came up to me after school yesterday and he asked me to go with him! He was very nervous about it and he stuttered a lot, but I was so pleased! I said yes straight away and he smiled at me and looked really happy! I'm so excited!" Tomoyo's mood was now a lot happier, "Anyway, I hope you have a good time at your appointment because now I have to go to maths or Mrs. Van will kill me! See you tomorrow!"
"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow and I'll show you what I got this morning for my birthday!" Sakura called after her as the other girl rushed to her classroom. People hadn't forgotten her birthday, they had decorated her locker and sang 'Happy Birthday' to her that morning. She packed her bag and quickly walked home so she would be on time. (The real Alice had had her birthday on the same day as Sakura's birthday, so it actually was Sakura's birthday.)
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Syaoran had a feeling that something bad was going to happen very soon after he walked out of the history class. He had no idea what it was, but he knew that it was going to be bad.
"Why are you so gloomy? I just found out from Tomoyo that Alice is going to the orthodontist, so she won't be any of your classes for the rest of the day," Eriol said, coming up behind him, "does that make you happy?"
"Don't you have the feeling that something bad is going to happen today? Or maybe it's something good and bad. It just feels like something big is going to happen today and I know it!" Syaoran shook his head, trying to get that feeling to go away.
"You know. I have got that feeling too. We'll just have to watch what happens, won't we?" Eriol turned around and walked to his maths class, leaving Syaoran looking after him as if he would be the cause of this good and bad thing.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Sakura was sitting in the back left hand side seat of the car while her 'parents' sat in the front. They were driving along a long road that was next to the river. For some reason, it made Sakura think of a song, so she sang it.
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
That was the only verse that she could remember, but she knew that there was more to the song than that.
"I've never heard that song before Alice, where did you learn it?" Taryn asked as she drove, "it's very pretty." (I know it isn't but she thinks it's pretty. Oh, and I made up this song, that's why it sucks.)
"I don't know, but driving along this road made me remember it," Sakura had thought that her mother had sung it to her, but by Taryn's reaction, she thought that she must have been wrong. Taryn took a quick glance in the mirror to see Sakura shaking as though she remembered something bad. It was like it was happening all over again. When Taryn looked back at the road a car was heading straight for them, coming the wrong way down the street. Taryn turned the car to avoid it, but the driver of the other car turned to and crashed into Taryn's side of the car, sending Sakura's side into the river. Sakura hit her head hard on the window of the car and everything went black.

Touya was walking slowly towards the spot in the road that the accident had taken place when he heard the sound of a collision between two cars. He ran as fast as he could towards where the sound had come from and was amazed at what he saw. At the exact same place that his sister had died, another car crash had taken place. Half of one of the cars was under water, and Touya knew that there were people that were under the water too. He recognized the car to be the Hoay's car, and he knew that both 'Alice' and Mr. Hoay were on the left hand side of the car. He analyzed all this as he ran to the car. He opened the back door to the car and found that the 16 year old was under the water and was unconscious. He quickly and carefully pulled her out of the car so that she wouldn't drown and put her down gently on the grass. It was then he realized that he hadn't called an ambulance or anything. He quickly took out his mobile phone and typed in 000. (The emergency number that Australians use for ambulance, fire brigade and the police.)
"Ambulance please," Touya replied to the question of which service was needed. He answered the questions that they asked him as quickly as he could while he was trying to find a way to get to Mr. Hoay. He couldn't get to him as much as he tried, and he knew that it would be ages before the ambulance and everything else that was needed would arrive.
"Thank you, now please look after the girl. You can't do anything else for the others, but you can help the girl by checking if she's breathing and try to keep her warm. We'll be there as soon as we can." The person on the other end of the phone hung up and Touya walked back to the girl.
'You look so much like my sister and you almost died at the same place she did,' Touya thought sadly as he checked that the girl was breathing and was warm. With that done he noticed her locket so he picked up the picture part of it. As soon as he touched it, it felt familiar to him, like he had used magic on it. Suddenly having an idea, Touya pressed the little locket in a way that he had devised to make it open. He had taught Sakura the way to open it so that only she and he could open the locket. The locket opened this way and inside was a picture of Fujitaka, Nadeshiko, Touya and Sakura. On the other side of the locket to the picture was an inscription.
To Sakura, from your loving brother Touya.
Touya could hardly believe what he was seeing. This girl that had lived in their neighborhood for 6 years was his little sister that everybody believed to be dead.

"I've never heard that song before Alice, where did you learn it?" Taryn asked as she drove, "it's very pretty." (I know it isn't but she thinks it's pretty. Oh, and I made up this song, that's why it sucks.)
"I don't know, but driving along this road made me remember it," Sakura had thought that her mother had sung it to her, but by Taryn's reaction, she thought that she must have been wrong. Taryn took a quick glance in the mirror to see Sakura shaking as though she remembered something bad. It was like it was happening all over again. When Taryn looked back at the road a car was heading straight for them, coming the wrong way down the street. Taryn turned the car to avoid it, but the driver of the other car turned to and crashed into Taryn's side of the car, sending Sakura's side into the river. Sakura hit her head hard on the window of the car and everything went black.

Touya was walking slowly towards the spot in the road that the accident had taken place when he heard the sound of a collision between two cars. He ran as fast as he could towards where the sound had come from and was amazed at what he saw. At the exact same place that his sister had died, another car crash had taken place. Half of one of the cars was under water, and Touya knew that there were people that were under the water too. He recognized the car to be the Hoay's car, and he knew that both 'Alice' and Mr. Hoay were on the left hand side of the car. He analyzed all this as he ran to the car. He opened the back door to the car and found that the 16 year old was under the water and was unconscious. He quickly and carefully pulled her out of the car so that she wouldn't drown and put her down gently on the grass. It was then he realized that he hadn't called an ambulance or anything. He quickly took out his mobile phone and typed in 000. (The emergency number that Australians use for ambulance, fire brigade and the police.)
"Ambulance please," Touya replied to the question of which service was needed. He answered the questions that they asked him as quickly as he could while he was trying to find a way to get to Mr. Hoay. He couldn't get to him as much as he tried, and he knew that it would be ages before the ambulance and everything else that was needed would arrive.
"Thank you, now please look after the girl. You can't do anything else for the others, but you can help the girl by checking if she's breathing and try to keep her warm. We'll be there as soon as we can." The person on the other end of the phone hung up and Touya walked back to the girl.
'You look so much like my sister and you almost died at the same place she did,' Touya thought sadly as he checked that the girl was breathing and was warm. With that done he noticed her locket so he picked up the picture part of it. As soon as he touched it, it felt familiar to him, like he had used magic on it. Suddenly having an idea, Touya pressed the little locket in a way that he had devised to make it open. He had taught Sakura the way to open it so that only she and he could open the locket. The locket opened this way and inside was a picture of Fujitaka, Nadeshiko, Touya and Sakura. On the other side of the locket to the picture was an inscription.
To Sakura, from your loving brother Touya.
Touya could hardly believe what he was seeing. This girl that had lived in their neighborhood for 6 years was his little sister that everybody believed to be dead.
End Of Chapter 5
There, I made the chapter almost double it's usual length, due to reviewer demand. I've found that it isn't too bad to write longer chapters, it just takes me about an hour extra because I get distracted in the middle of typing a chapter. Anyway, I probably won't be able to update this story until the 21st of Jan. as I'm going on holiday the day after tomorrow and I have other stories to update. I was going to end this story in this chapter, but I got carried away and typed more than I was going to. I apologise now for the song in this fic, I wrote it and I'm no song writer. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll try my best to keep all of my chapters this long. Please, REVIEW!!!!!!!!!
