Chapter 2: Old
~*~*~*~*~
Yoshiyuki Terada sighed as he stared down at the water slowly flowing underneath the bridge. Gazing down as his handsome features, he scowled and threw a rock directly below him to break apart the image, making it disappear from his sight.
'What's the point of my good looks if no one cares about who I am inside?"
Like any other teenager his age, he was in the process of adolescence. Definitely an awful stage that was full of confusion, decisions, trials and tribulations. If only he could stay younger a little longer. Then there wouldn't be any problems. As if that were to happen. What he really needed was a change of environment.
Without being aware of it, Yoshiyuki's mind wandered to memories from an awkward event that only occurred a week before.
* Last week *
Having nothing else to do that night, Yoshiyuki decided to check out the new club opening party that everyone was raving about at school. Dressed in black jeans and a close-fitted white T-shirt, he didn't know what to expect. Little that he knew, a lot of girls at that party were expecting a lot from him. Yoshiyuki felt uncomfortable with all the seductive stares that he had been receiving, but there was only one girl who was brave enough to approach the most handsome person at the party.
Yoshiyuki actually enjoyed her presence. She had a delightful personality and she was a charming conversationalist. Unfortunately, because she was a fan of the brew known as beer, her part of the conversation grew more and more incoherent with every drink that she took. When Yoshiyuki finally brought her home, she didn't want him to leave yet as she pinned him with a kiss when they were at her doorway, and pulled him inside. With hormones raging, he couldn't find it in himself to pull away. They landed heavily on the couch, and he assaulted her neck with frenzied embraces as she shimmied out of her shirt, and got rid of Yoshiyuki's top as well. As she pressed her newly revealed flesh against his stomach, he froze. Sharply pulling back, he saw a beautiful girl who was scantly dressed and ready to sleep with him. But he was able to see the truth in her glazed eyes. This girl was vulnerable, and no matter how insane his hormones were driving him, he knew that he would never forgive himself if he were to take advantage of a girl.
"W-where are you going?" she asked as she watched Yoshiyuki pull himself away and slip on his shirt. "Don't you w-want me?"
He took a deep breath as he made her lie down on the couch before covering her with a blanket to conceal her body.
"This isn't right," he whispered as he dropped a feather-light kiss on her forehead. "Your first time should be special... as should mine."
The teen hardly even finished what he was saying before she dozed off.
"It's all for the best," he said to himself as he walked away. "I made the right decision."
* End of Flashback *
Snapping back to the present, he decided to continue his walk to clear his mind from that uncomfortable incident. Following wherever his feet wanted to take him, he ended up in front of his favourite school, Tomoeda Elementary. Why couldn't it be like the old days were there weren't any major decisions to make or choices to choose? Of course he made thee right decision that night, but what if the whole issue were to repeat itself? Would he be able to stop himself next time if a girl wasn't ready? If only he was able to just forget about his problems.
"Hey Yosh!" called out one of his classmates from math class who was hanging around near Seiju High. "Come here and check out what we just bought!"
Seeing that there was nothing better to do, Yoshiyuki joined his classmate, who was with two other guys from school. However, as he got closer to the group, a strange and unfamiliar scent invaded his sense of smell, and the new discovery made his stomach churn.
"Hey, what's that sme-" Yoshiyuki was shocked when he saw for himself what exactly was the source of the stench.
"Marijuana. You can't go wrong with sixty bucks. It's practically a steal!" said the teen that called him over.
"We made one just for you pal," his friend added as he held out a joint. "Come on! What are you waiting for? Don't tell me that you've never tried it!"
"Unless your scared!" laughed the third. "What are you, chicken? It's not as bad as everyone says it is!"
Yoshiyuki glared at the trio.
"No thank you," he said coldly. "Unlike you three, I want to do something important with my life instead of trashing I with drugs."
With those words, he turned around to go to the one place where he was safe from his sorry excuse of a generation: home. If only he could escape from life as he it for just one day. He'd go practically anywhere as long as there weren't any others who were his age. If only they could just grow up.
Ah, there's the complication. First he wished that he could be younger, and now he wanted others to be more mature. Does a mixture as unique even exist in a person? If only he were to know for sure. Then he would find her, and do all that he could to not let her go.
To be continued...

A/N: Oh, I'm so embarrassed! Because we hardly know anything about Terada, please forgive me if my description doesn't fit with the character.
1) First and foremost, not only am I against drugs and alcohol, but I can't stand it when people who are still in high school have sex. The flashback and the drug scene explain the trails and tribulations that Terada had to face as a teen. It's a reason why he wants the best of both worlds: innocence and maturity.
2) I made his unconscious self bring him to Tomoeda Elementary, since he ends up becoming a teacher in the future.
3) Notice the way that Terada wanted to be in a different environment? That's just a little hint about chapter three. ^_~
Shout outs:
u l t i m e c i a: Thank you so much! Not only for the E-mail and the additional review, but also your amazing suggestion.
Ecuagirl: thanks for the E-mail too, and for the correction
white cherry blossom: thanks for saying that chapter one was kawaii. I've always appreciated your reviews for all my chapters. I know chapter isn't as cute as my others, but I promise you cuteness for chapter three!
Lttlwings: connecting my chapters to the facts is one of the reasons these prequels are so enjoyable to write. It takes a little bit of effort, but it's worth it.
Megami No Hikari: it's always great to receive your support. That fact you noticed was briefly discussed at the end of Peacewish's Behind The Camera, and it helped sparked my interest in writing these prequels!
white eternity: it's a pleasure to "meet" you. Like my other three prequels, this is a prequel of Card Captor Sakura in general. Since I already did it with S&S, E&T and T&C, it's only fair to do one about Rika and Terada too, even if I don't know much about them.
emerald wolf: it's great to "see" you! Now you know how Terada comes in!
silentlight: I'm glad you agree with my view of Rika. Yeah, Terada is Rika's fourth grade teacher.
kawaii*berry: You don't have to apologize for the late review! Just the fact you reviewed was such a nice gesture.
Shattered Midnight Dreams: I've had my fair share of ff.net problems too. _. I'm glad you're reading my story!
PLEASE REVIEW!!!
