The Voice

" Hey Sakura!" Chiharu whispered into her ear. Sakura jumped , startled. Chiharu giggled ,as Sakura grew red. She had been daydreaming again..

" What?" Sakura asked , annoyed , forgetting where they were.

" DJ Bingo wants to talk to you now!" Chiharu whispered.

Sakura gasped. He wanted to talk to her?

" He wants to t-talk to m-me?" Sakura stuttered out , her emerald eyes wide with surprise.

Chiharu groaned.

" Yes , Sakura. YOU!"

Sakura giggled nervously. She felt butterflies swirl around in her chest , and she took a deep breath. Tomoyo patted her shoulder , reassuringly.

" Don't worry , Sakura. He just asks some questions about you , and then you get to introduce the next song. Don't worry."

Sakura smiled at her friend.

" Hey , I'm not worried. I'm just kind of....nervous."

Tomoyo grinned.

" Hey we all were. Now go , he's waiting for you!"

Sakura nodded , and walked up to the studio. The DJ looked up and asked , " Your Sakura , right?"

Sakura nodded , unable to speak.

" That's a very nice name! Just for security sake , we'll give you a fake name. What name do you want?"

Sakura thought. It was quite sensible of them to use a fake name , just in case anybody might want to track her down or something.

" How about....Cherry Blossom?"

The DJ laughed. " Nice choice! Well , your the last of them , and we're going to do something special. You'll have your time to talk on the show , as you introduce the next song , okay , Sakura?"

Sakura gasped . They wanted her to freestyle? Say whatever she wanted to?

" Um...DJ , what song am I supposed to introduce?"

The DJ looked at her and grinned.

" Anyone you choose."

Sakura nodded , wondering what song she was supposed to pick. They gave her a pair of headphones and all her friends smiled at her reassuringly. She felt lost , nervous , and negative thoughts flew through her head. What if she couldn't speak? Just froze and didn't say anything! Or what if she said something wrong , and all of Japan and China came after her????

Her heart sped up as the women behind the glass in front of them gave the DJ a thumbs up , and pressed a green button. " Welcome back , all you players. This is MIST98 the most listened to radio in China , Hong Kong , and Japan! MIST98 , well known for its popular , wide variety music , our contests and our dating line! As you may know , today we are having the winners from the contest over today to be our guest DJ's! Say a hello to Cherry Blossom!"

A fake applause and cheering was sounded over the radio as the woman behind the glass in front of them started to push up the sound system.

" Hello , Cherry Blossom!"

Sakura stared at him , until she realised she was supposed to answer. She flushed , and blurted out quickly ,

" Hello , DJ Bingo."

" What's up with you tonight? Are you having fun?" he looked at her , eyebrows raised.

" Yes." was all she said , and silence came after. The DJ looked at her expectantly but when he realised she didn't plan to say anything else he spoke again , " Well , I know it must have been a lucky break for you to win this contest. Why did you enter this contest , anyways?"

As Sakura answered the questions to the best of her ability , she racked her brain for a song to pick. She thought of popular songs , those boy bands or girl bands that teens idolize. Or maybe...

Sakura instantly remembered that song her mother used to sing around the house. It was a beautiful song , not well known however. Sakura thought that her mother had created the song , but had found out that it was a real song , but from a private artist that only had sung one song in his whole entire life.

Is this love?

Sakura was jerked out of her thoughts as the DJ asked her , " Well , Cherry Blossom , what song would you like us to play for you?"

Sakura smiled. " Is this love , by Deven Keldron."

The DJ looked confused and looked over at the woman behind the glass. She was typing in her computer , and shaking her head. The DJ opened his mouth to ask Sakura to choose another song , when the woman jumped up and nodded at the DJ , grinning.

" Well , it seems like your request will be given!" The DJ looked at Sakura and asked curiously , " Why do you choose that song , anyways?"

Sakura smiled , a dreamy look coming into her emerald eyes.

" Ever since I was a child , I heard that song. My mother used to sing it , and now I listen to that song anytime I feel lonely , or scared. I used to think that if I played that song , my soul mate would come and chase away my loneliness. It never happened , but-" here she gave a big grin and seemed to come out of her dream world she was momentarily dispensed in , " -I will never give up hope!"

The DJ just nodded slowly , not quite understanding this girl's ramblings.

" Okay , dreamer! Play that song!"

The song began to play , enveloping the whole studio with its sweetness. Sakura grinned at her friends who all had a surprised look on their faces at her emotional description. Sakura now seemed to fill up with a light that always seemed to be dampened these last weeks and looked like the cheerful , carefree girl they'd always knew.

~~~~*****~~~~~

As everyone began to leave , Sakura felt a calm feeling she had never felt before. She felt like she was meant to be here at a radio station...that she was meant to play that song by Deven....It was an eerie feeling , but it felt right.

" Come on Sakura , my mother is going to pick us up ," shouted Tomoyo as she grabbed her coat. Sakura reluctantly nodded as she slowly got up from her chair and took off her earphones. Something was supposed to happen...and yet she was going. Sakura giggled to herself. She sounded mental! Gods , no wonder people thought she was weird...

" I'm coming Tomoyo!" she yelled back cheerfully , and grabbed her coat , running out into the rain. Raindrops splattered against the gravel , hitting Sakura's face with force as she squealed and threw her hood over her head. Her friends motioned towards her inside the limo and Sakura ran towards the car and got in.

" Oh my god , that was so fun!" Chiharu squealed , as she hung onto Yamazaki's arm , jumping up and down on the seat.

" Ooh , everyone is going to be so jealous!" Tomoyo giggled as everyone started to talk about the events of today. Sakura leaned back , a smile on her face. Yes , today was just what she needed..

" Sakura , I don't get something. What happened to you back there? It was like you were in a trance!" Tomoyo said , tilting her head inquiringly. Chiharu and Yamazaki nodded. They had seen the same thing in the girl.

Sakura laughed. " No , I wasn't in a trance , but close to it! I just love that song..."

Yamazaki opened his mouth to say something , but Tomoyo interrupted and said , " Lets put the radio station on now."

She fiddled with the radio on the side of the doors and MIST98 flooded the car. It was full of callers asking for songs. Sakura grinned with her friends as they got closer to Sakura's home when suddenly

" Hello...I'm calling because of the Guest DJ's." A male voice spoke. His voice was clear , deep and serious. Sakura sat up straighter as all her friends looked at each other , curiously.

" Why would someone want to call about us?" Chiharu whispered before Tomoyo shushed her.

" Yes , what would you like to know?" said DJ Bingo.

" Well , there was one Guest DJ...Cherry Blossom , I think it was. She asked for the song Is this Love...What she said was exactly what I felt. My father knew Deven personally and I grew up listening to the song as well. The song is close to me...just like it was close to that Cherry Blossom girl. Gods , I don't even think she's listening to this right now , but if she is...I just want to say that every time I listened to that song...I would feel as if I was complete.."

Sakura listened to the voice , as it tugged at something deep in her heart. A smile began to lift the corners of her mouth , as her friends listened with wide eyes.

" Well , Well , I think we just found the match of the day! If you all weren't informed , we actually have a dating line over this radio. We are the radio station of Truuuue Looooove. I think that if Cherry Blossom is listening right now , we'll have both of you come over to the radio station tomorrow at 2:00..So , Cherry Blossom , if your ready to meet your match , come over at 2:00! Whoo!"

The voice dropped as another song began to play over the radio , and almost in sync , all her friends looked at her. Sakura blushed heavily.

" What?"

They all looked at each other , and at the same time screamed , " YOU HAVE GOT TO GO!"

~~~~~*****~~~~~~

Syaoran drove out into the streets with one hand on the steering wheel , and the other holding his cell phone.

" No , I'm sorry , I cannot take that photo shoot. No , I will only take orders in Hong Kong only. Okay? Yes , I do take pictures of weddings , but.."

Syaoran kept talking as he drove into the Li Mansion. He was tired from the long day at work , and just wanted to take a hot bath , and lye down comfortably. He could not believe what he had done earlier that day. When he had heard the Guest DJ contest , he was not very interested. He had just continued on , until he heard that one voice ask for his favourite song...But that wasn't enough reason to call in and act like a complete idiot! He banged the steering wheel frustrated. He was so stupid! A complete bastard...

Yet he couldn't deny the warmth that flooded his body when he thought... What if she did come tomorrow?

Grr....she probably wasn't even listening! You shouldn't go , you should just stay at home , and save yourself from utter embarrassment....And you know nothing about this damn it girl! She could be 70 or maybe 7 or a prostitute, or a mean , disgusting flimsy girl...

What if she wasn't even a girl?!?!

Syaoran sighed and got out of his car. Man....where are my thoughts taking me?? It was a long day...Quickly he took the steps two at a time and was about to enter the double white doors when a shout behind him prevented him from doing so.

" Hey Syaoran!"

Syaoran turned around and saw Eriol smiling at him wearing track pants and a sleeveless shirt. Eriol clapped his hand hard against Syaoran's shoulder and grinned.

" How's my best friend doin'?"

" Where were you?" Syaoran asked curiously. Eriol grinned , his face not holding any of the sadness that he had when he had heard about Maria's boyfriend. Now they were alight with mischief and giddiness. Syaoran got even more suspicious...he only had that look when he went out with a-

" Ah , no where in particular...just dropped off at the shore to meet up with Crystal.."

" ERIOL!"

" What?"

Syaoran sighed , shaking his head. " You'll never get it , will you Eriol?"

Eriol looked at him curiously. " Get what?"

Syaoran glanced at him and just shook his head , turning around , quickly opening the gold knobs to open the huge white doors.

" You can't just flit from girl to girl , breaking hearts as you go along , Eriol. Your going to pay for it , some day or another.."

As Syaoran opened the door , he met a full hallway , full of adults , caterers , Syaoran's happy mother and in the centre of it all stood a beautiful girl in a shimmering dress. She was laughing , her blue eyes alight with humour , flicking her black hair from her face. Syaoran and Eriol gaped at the scene , staring at it all until the girl turned around and spotted them both.

" Eriol!" she squealed , jumping up and down with happiness. " You came!"

" Tina???"

Tina laughed , throwing her beautiful locks of black hair behind her shoulders again She clasped her hands together , and gazed at him sweetly.

" Of course its Tina! Who else would be here to announce our engagement!"

Eriol almost fell before Syaoran caught him.

" Engagement?????" he cried , incredulous.

Tina ran over to him , locking his arm with hers.

" Of course , silly!" she cried , running her hands through his navy hair , as her parents and Eriol's parents looked on , grinning at the beautiful sight. " Remember that day we were at the beach and you proposed to me??"

Eriol was aghast. His face took on a picture of dread , shock and surprise.

" I never-" he started , but then dropped it and looked over at Syaoran , pleadingly.

" HELP ME!"
