Sakura awoke the next morning on the 1st day of spring. She smiled happily and jumped out of her cozy bed.
Sakura was going to pull back her velvet curtains and see the morning glow of the sun, but instead there was gray clouds that covered the azure blue sky, and the sun.
Sakura's cherry face fell, she was hoping she would spin this day with Syaoran in the garden, but looks like she would have to spin her day inside.
The next morning to Sakura's displeasure the rain continued. Nor did it stop the next.
On the 4th day of rain Sakura thought it was safe enough to go visit Eli.
The two 13 year olds sat on Eli's bed doing a puzzle Sakura had just laid down her favorite country 'India' she smiled to herself. It had been so long since she had been in the smoldering hot jungle, and had played with the elephants in the river, had her Ahah tell her stories.. Just then Sakura had a flashback
*Sakura's Flashback*
It was night time in India, all the stars were twinkling outside. Sakura was setting by her window looking out into the night. Her ahah was rocking slightly and knitting socks for her tiny grandson.
Sakura's usually hard emeralds orbs were now filled with curiosity.
The Ahah chuckled.
"Misses Sigheeb your eyes are so beautiful when they are not filled with coldness."
Sakura turned back from her window and face her ahah.
"you think so?"
The old woman nodded and smiled a little smile played on her lips.
"Have I ever told you about the young prince, with the universe in his throat" Sakura shook her head "Well you see this story reminds me of you. You see on the outside he was an ordinary person ,but when you looked down his throat you could see the universe. "
"but I thought he looked like an ordinary person?" Sakura said confused.
"Yes, he did but don't you see shigheeb it was magic"
Sakura snorted.
"There is no such thing as magic"
"Mem' Sigheeb listen to me, when the littlest or worst of times are happening to you, all you got to do is believe in magic and anything could happen" she said smiling.
Sakura thought about this for a awhile then she spoke up.
"then how did this story remind you of me?"
The Ahah smiled "Because you look ordinary and harsh on the outside , but on the inside your full of goodness, and magic" she smiled and stood up "Well it's time for bed"
Sakura got into her bed and stared up at the ceiling.
*End of Flashback*
Sakura shot back to reality when Eli sopke.
"What did you do in in India when it was raining?" Eli asked setting down the 'Australia' piece.
"In India, when it rained my Ahah would tell me stores" Sakura said lying down her 'Russia' piece.
"Really?" Eli said getting interested "what about?"
"About god and goddess, prince and princess mostly" Sakura paused "like this one story was about a prince were if you looked at him he seamed like and ordinary person, but if you were to look down his throat you would see the universe"
Eli snorted "That's stupid it doesn't make any since"
Sakura leaned over the game bored a ever growing frown growing on her face.
"That's right, it's not supposed to it's magic!"
Eli still looked skeptic.
"I thought you said he looked like an ordinary person on the outside?" he said
"Yes he di" she couldn't finish when he continued.
"Then how could you see the universe!"
"Magic!" Sakura said getting mad "It's magic! It's on the inside that counts!" Sakura got really mad.
Sakura was very ticked at this point so what she did, was take advantage of this.
"I went to see your father" Sakura said with a smug expression playing on her face.
"He didn't come and see me." Eli sighed and leaned back on his pillow "I'll die because he doesn't like me.."
Sakura glared at him there he goes talking about dieing.
"Well he likes me" taunted Sakura
"but he's my father!" Eli growled his blue eyes glared at her.
"Well maybe he would if you weren't so rude!" Sakura said crossing her arms and paced the room "Your so soar, you won't even open you windows and let the sun come in".
"how can I?! It's raining!" he motioned towards the boarded up windows, where if you were to put you ear against them you would hear the steady raining of the outside.
"you still wouldn't even if it weren't raining" Sakura said with a piercing glare at him.
"if it weren't" Eli said stroking his chin thoughtfully "Maybe I would.."
"Fine! When the rain stops," Sakura stopped pacing "I'll get Syaoran, and we'll see about those windows" she said nodding her heads towards the them.
Eli gulped. What have I done?!
The rain continued that night.
On the 5th day of raining Sakura was getting worried about the garden. Sakura had just got out of a steaming bath and into her night cloths. Madison had a brush in hand and was brushing the locks of Sakura's auburn hair.
"Madison. will it ever stop?" Sakura asked Madison staring out of the window longingly.
"Sometimes it rains for weeks, you can never tell when it will stop." Madison said brushing her hair.
"It's almost been a week.." Sakura sighed.
Madison nodded.
"Madison what happens to plants when it rains this hard?" Sakura gulped "d- do they drown?"
"Well.. Two years ago.." Madison sighed trying to recall the memory "Everything got wiped out in the storms.."
"E-everything?" Sakura was beyond worried.
"Afraid so." Madison said nodding her head solemnly.
Sakura jumped up from were she was setting, grabbed her coat and bolted out the door. Madison was in hysterics.
"Miss Sakura! Come back!" Madison yelled chasing after her.
Sakura paid no attention and ran.
All the servants stared at her as she past them in the gloomy halls.
Then the servants turned there heads back to there work, but not for long when at that very next second Madison came bolting down the hallway screaming.
"Sakura come back here!" she screamed not even caring if she said her first name and not 'miss' before hand.
The servants watched as Madison ran past them. A few gasped and others just shrugged it off.
*Sakura's POV sorta*
Sakura heart hammered against her chest as she ran. Sweat was already starting to form as she bolted out the big wooden doors, and into the cold, rainy, night air. Sakura had forgot to grab shoes, so as she ran the mud began to form in between her toes. Her once dry hair was now soaked but she didn't care .Her once beautiful white night gown was no very muddy. Only one thing was running threw her mind 'Garden, rain!"
*Madison POV sorta*
Madison stood at the door watching as Sakura ran into the chilly, rainy, night.
She'll surly catch ammonia if she's out to long Madison thought worriedly in her head, then in the distance Madison a white figure heading her way. She thought it was Sakura.
"Sakura-" She was cut off when she saw who it actually was "Syaoran?!"
"Madison Hi what are you-" he said hopping off his pony he was in mid sentence when he was cut off when Madison interrupted him.
"Syaoran, I'm so glad I found you!, okay me and Sakura were talking about the rain when all of a sudden she ran out of the manor into the night! Please Syaoran go fine her she might catch ammonia.or.or." Madison said this all in one breath, she started so shake in worry " she might die.."
Syaraon's amber eyes widened in horror, they scanned the scenery for a glimpse of white off of Sakura's night gown. Syaoran's heart jumped to his throat.
"Sakura!" as fast as lighting he hopped on his pony and took off in Sakura's direction.
*Syaoran's POV*
Sakura! You are so stupid to be doing this you knew you could catch ammonia! Syaoran screamed in his head as he listened to his horses hooves thunder against the path towards the garden.
*Both POV*
Sakura finally reached the door to the garden, she whipped out the key, and slammed the key in. What she saw before her jade eyes made her gasp it was worse then she imagined.
The garden was completely flooded. Sakura trudged over to the first place she started gardening in the 3 inch water. She dropped go the ground on her knees and knelt by the little seedlings that had barely just began to grow were floating in big puddles. The new little shoots that had been green, proud, and hopeful were now soggy, and caked with a layer of mud. The thing that really tore at Sakura was that the Empress of India Lily was nearly washed away. The once proud stalk was shredded and beaten down.
All around where Sakura looked the trees dropped with the weight of the rain that had soaked the leaves. It looked as if the trees were weeping. A crack was issued from the door Sakura lifted her head up showing saddened emerald orbs. There standing threw the rain was Syaoran.
"Look!" Sakura cried anger building "Syaoran it's all ruined, everything's dead, all of them!" Sakura's anger got the best of her she clawed at the dirt and pulled out the bulb. It was so wet and soggy it fell apart as soon as her fingers touch it.
A tear slid down her face for the first time ever. Her lip trembled.
"look" she cried "Even my lily" she hurtled the bulb at Syaoran, which he caught with relative ease, but Sakura didn't notice.
"You lied to me! You told me the rain was good for plants!"
Syaoran looked hurt, but he continued to watch her.
Sakura couldn't stand it anymore she collapsed down in the brown mucky mud, and she let all of her emotions fall. Every single one that she had been keeping bottled up burst out. The death of her parents, being alone, the rain, the garden it all came out, each single tear fell with such force. She sobbed into the mud it felt so good to get all of her emotions out.
It broke Syaoran's heart to see her cry, it shredded his heart in 1 million tiny pathetic pieces. He walked foreword and gently touched Sakura's wet auburn hair.
"It's ok" he whispered "They're not ruined wait and see more will grow in there place"
"Don't lie to me!" Sakura sobbed
"But that is what flowers do" explained Syaoran
Sakura looked up at him "How can I believe you?"
"because I trusted you, your going to have to trust me" Syaoran knelt down and hugged Sakura which she retuned gratefully, and still cried into his chest.
Sakura looked up at Syaoran shivering.
"T-Thankyou" Sakura whispered right before the coldness took over her and fainted in Syaoran's arms.
Syaoran smiled down at his cherry blossom, he moved a piece of her wet auburn hair away from her face.
"Anything my love" he whispered to her and gently picked up the gentle cherry blossom walked out of the garden, shut the door, mounted his pony, and rode Sakura back to the manor his loving arms never leaving her. Mean while as he rode back up to the manor the smile on Sakura's face never left.
So the little girl that had never cried finally learned how to cry, she was safe and warm in her loves arms.
