Silver Blaze: How is everyone. I'm glad I go so many nice reviews. I didn't think anyone would like it. I was so wrong. Thank you everyone. And for all the great reviews, guess what! Longer chapter, I'm trying my best to get it long and fast, so here goes!!!
Crushed Blossom
Chapter 1
Young Sakura Kinomoto sat down on the ground of a small alley way. She chewed a Eat-More bar. She finished in a few minutes and then sat in silence.
"Hey Sakura," a girl with long black gray hair said.
Sakura's head shot up and looked at her friend with a great smile. Her smiled was warm and could brighten anyone's day. Her friend Tomoyo smiled in return.
"How's it going," Tomoyo asked?
"Fine, I guess," Sakura mumbled. "How's my father doing?"
"He's getting worst, but of course Nina there for him," Tomoyo said sickened.
"I don't want to hear that name," Sakura grumbled.
"I'll change the subject then," Tomoyo said. "How's the street performer job going?"
"Great, I got Twenty Bucks in twenty minutes," Sakura cheered.
Her friend smiled weakly, she couldn't believe her friend ran away from home, just to get away from a bitch from hell. And leave her father to her power. And could only use her guitar for street performing money.
"Sakura you deserve more then this. And I'm going to prove it," Tomoyo said pulling her friend from the ground.
"Tomoyo, what do you mean," Sakura asked?
"I'm going to change your looks, clean you up, and I'm going to take you too...LI'S MUSIC RECORDS," Tomoyo cheered.
"YOUR WHAT! ARE YOU CRAZY, I'M A MESS, THEY WON'T EVEN LET ME INSIDE THE PARKING LOT," Sakura shouted.
"That's what the clean up is for," Tomoyo cheered.
"...," Sakura stayed silent.
"Come with me to my apartment," Tomoyo said grabbing her friends arm and pulling her down the street.
Later
Sakura looked herself in the mirror and sighed in pure defeat. She looked like her old self again, and that wasn't for four years. Now she the girl she use to be at the age of fourteen. Now a young woman. Sakura started to agree that maybe trying for Li's Music Records was a good idea.
"Now Sakura, you need a new look," Tomoyo said holding a pair of scissors.
"Your going to cut my hair," Sakura said holding a piece of her hair.
"You know a new look, you need to have a change," Tomoyo said.
"Like what?"
"Here one second," Tomoyo said passing her the scissors.
Tomoyo walked over to her T.V and grabbed something on top of her play station on the floor. She looked through it and then got up. She reached it and showed Sakura the picture in the booklet.
"Hoe! You can't get my hair like that! It's almost up on end," Sakura said shocked.
"Oh, come on my friend got it twice as up on end. Beside you'd be the perfect Selphie look alike," Tomoyo cheered.
"As long as you don't go looking for male look alike's from FF8," Sakura said. (My sister is the one who makes her hair twice as up)
"Okay, now hold still," Tomoyo said taking her scissors back.
Half an hour Later
Sakura looked herself in the mirror. Her hair was a bit lighter then Selphie's. (Is Selphie spelt right?) And her eyes matched Selphie's perfectly. She smiled she really did look like herself again.
"Now Sakura, what song you going to sing," Tomoyo asked? "You have to sing for them after all."
"Um...I think I'll try... "What we use to have," I just wrote it," Sakura smiled.
"I bet it's very pretty," Tomoyo giggled.
"So let's go," Sakura said picking up her guitar.
Tomoyo smiled and grabbed her car key's and opened the door for her friend. Sakura smiled back and walked through the door. Maybe this day wasn't going to be so bad.
At Li's Music Records
Sakura stood in the door way. Here eyes a shocked at the size of the huge place. She never remembered it being this big, but again, she hadn't been in Tokyo since she was fourteen.
"This is it," Tomoyo said also looking at it.
"I'm scared," Sakura said.
"Don't be," Tomoyo smiled at her friend.
"Yeah I guess," Sakura replied.
They stepped into the building as Sakura's knot in her stomach grow bigger. She held her stomach even more as she walked into the building.
"Hi, my friend is trying for a record deal, when can we have an appointment," Tomoyo asked?
"Now if you want," the lady at the desk replied.
"We'll take the appointment," Tomoyo said.
"Alright please come with me," the lady said getting up from her seat.
Sakura held her breath tightly as her and Tomoyo followed the lady. They when up almost twelve floors in the elevator.
"This way," the lady said opening a huge door.
Tomoyo lead Sakura into the room. The place was so huge. Nothing was so big to Sakura, it was an office, but it was bigger then Sakura's old house. There was a very beautiful lady sitting at the desk on the other end of the room. She looked up and smiled.
"Hello, I'm Yelan Li," she said. "How can I help you?"
"This young lady is trying for a record deal," the lady said pointing to Sakura.
"Yes, thank you Femei, miss you may come with me," Yelan said. "What did you say your name was?"
Sakura paused she was a bit scared, if she did become famous, her father and step mother would know she's alive, she didn't want to go back to them.
Tomoyo clearly knew because she cut in.
"Her name is Ying Fa Moto," Tomoyo said quickly. "Her mom was Chinese and her father was Japanese."
"Ah, that explains the Chinese and Japanese names," Yelan smiled. "Well let's go to the studio and check you out."
They were lead to through a door and now it relieved the recording studio. Yelan showed Sakura to the microphone, and told her to watch the window. And then she left.
She came into view a few minutes later and she was with a young man about Sakura and Tomoyo's age. Then she saw Tomoyo come in behind them.
"Miss Moto, you can start when I give the okay," Yelan said.
The young man sat down and pushed a few buttons and gave Yelan a nod. Then gave Sakura the okay. She go the her guitar and fingers in place, so Sakura started to sing.
Oh, oh, oh
I miss the old days
When I use to dream of you
Now empty dreams
I don't dream
Oh, oh, oh
Where did it go,
What we use to have
The nights we had together
What we use to have,
Only the memory of my past
Alone in the rain
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Now you tell me,
That I must be crazy
Oh, You don't see
Why, why, why
I don't want to see you
I answer with pride
We don't have
What we use to have
What happened to the nights
The cold took over
What happened to the sun
It's clouded over with black
Now our dreams shattered with nothingness
I only see the bad
You only see the good
The evil is here
What we use to have
Only a memory
Of a yesterday...
Sakura finished her song and let her guitar hang from her neck by the string holding it around her neck. At this time Sakura's heart was way past fast, it was beating faster then a bullet.
"Miss Moto, that was amazing, it's one of your own pieces right," Yelan asked?
"Yes"
"That makes it all the more amazing, we'll call you in the morning, your friend Tomoyo has ready giving us your number," Yelan said.
"Thank you,' Sakura blushed.
Tomoyo came into the room out of the record room. Her smile was large and devilish.
"Come on Ying Fa," Tomoyo said. "Ice cream on me."
Later
Sakura sipped on her strawberry milk shake. Tomoyo sat across from her yapping away on some new designs. Sakura sat not listening really, but nodding every so often and laughing when she should have. But she couldn't help but think of something from her past. A boy who saved her after her hero turned to a monster. It happened in the rain, on a rainy day. Her rainy day man.
