Chapter three: Yelen's talk and a looong story

It was midnight and after and hour of crying, Sakura had fallen asleep upstairs in her room. And Sayoran was still up and trying to focus playing basket ball. Yelen had just entered the room with tea and watched Sayoran play, she had little tears in her eyes.

She quickly wiped them away, and started talking like nothing was wrong, there was no tension in the room.



"Uh, Sayoran you know Mr.Saki, he said he had finally met his long lost friend and he also met his daughter. Mr. Saki said that she was a very pretty girl," Sayoran continued playing and just started shaking his head with his mother to show that he knew where this conversation would go.

"And very well-mannered, good house management. He told me that we could make this something more than just friends and he could bring her over for you to see..............but I said clearly NO! I did the right thing, right?" Yelen hoped he would say no, so she could start something for a marriage but the answer she got was "Yes, "What I did right?" Yelen gasped. "Yes, mother you did the right thing." "Uh, well than I probably did the right thing I guess, anyway there isn't anything that I don't do right. Wait, why does Mr. Saki keep calling me and telling me about this girl that girl, always saying that girl is pretty that girl is well-mannered. So what?! Every girl is pretty and well-mannered."

She jsut kept rambling on and on. Sayoran chuckled and sat down with the ball in his lap and an arm around her shoulder. He asked

"Whats wrong mother, why are you telling me this?" He asked looking at her.

Yelen tried to take a different approach. "You know Sayoran," "Hmmm" "When I go out with my friends, they all say bad things for they-re daughter-in-laws, I can't even do that." Yelen whined.

Sayoran took off his arm off and said "Oh no," He made a clucking noise in his mouth and continued "That really is a problem, so you want a daughter-in-law so you can say bad things for her, hmmm?" He said looking at her.

Yelen had tears in her eyes again and she sadly looked over at her son and weakly replied "No my son, I just want you to be happy." Sayoran smiled and said "Well, I'm very happy," Yelen finally asked the question she wanted to ask all night, "Will you not marry again, my child?" "Sayoran's eye's suddenly turned sad and he was gonna cry but he remembered his dead wife's promise that he would never cry so he willed his tears back.

He slowly stood up with the ball in his hands and started talking in a sad voice. "Mother we live once, die once, you marry once.....and you love once." He said as he continued bouncing the ball again. Yelen tood as well, still with tears in her eyes.

"My child, you are old enough to bear your pain......but Sakura, what about her?"

"What about Sakura, what happened to her?" He said as he continued dribbling the ball. Almost all his concentration on the ball.

"Do you not think that she needs a mother? She knows things about her mother, but she does not know anything about a mother."

Sayoran doubted himself for a second before replying. "No, Mother, she's fine, she's fine," he stopped bouncing the ball and looked at her. "because she has something that even I don't have............ and thats her mother's letters.

With that he quietl left the room with the ball on the rack. Yelen just stood there sad that her son doesn't have a wife to love him, sure little Sakura was cheerful and she could make anyone's day bright but she could not give Sayoran the kind of love a wife could give. She was upset that she couldn't have a daughter-in-law, but she most upset about the fact that Sakura couldn't have a mother.

-----------------------------------------

The morning sun shone out in Sakura's room, and as soon as her alarm rang, she sprang out of bed yelling to herself, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAKURA!!!" She dashed downstairs in her pjs and looked for her presents.

She saw a bundle of colorful paper and she guessed thats where her presents would be.

She ran there and moved all the heavy boxes out of the way and looked for her mother's letter. After removing all the boxes. Sakura found a simple envolope that had a simple 8 written on it.

Sakura eagerly ripped the envolope and began to read:

'My Darling Sakura, Happy Birthday, today you're finally eight years old, and I am sure that you look just like you're father, the same eyes, the same face, am I right?'

Sakura frowned and looked up from the letter and said in a whiny voice "No look like you." She shrugged and continued reading.



'Tell me Sakura, does you father still sleep with his shoes on after he comes hme from work?'

Sakura giggled. 'When will he learn.'

Suddenly it seemed that Tomyo's letter turned serious. 'Sakura, my child, I think you are old enough to know what I will tell you today. Today, I will tell you a looooong story.

In this story are Me, your father, and..............Sakura.'

Little Sakura looked up from the letter her amber eyes held confusion, so did her face. And she reapeated what the letter said. "SAKURA?"

So what do you think? I hope you like it, now I wanna tell you a few things, like who Mr. Saki is. Lets say Tomoyo does not have a mother but she had a loving father? And the most important thing is taht the next few chapters is going to be a looooooooooooooooong flash back so don't worry, I wown't Little Sakura come in for a while. Hope you review.
