Prophecy

Chapter two : Evils Laughter


Lessons were over for the day, and an exhausted Sakura lay sprawled in the park with Tomoyo and Eriol. She soaked up the early summers warm rays, and sighed contentedly as she felt the days worries and stress slowly ebb away.

She opened her eyes and looked at the clouds, trying to depict pictures or shapes from them. Failing ti find anything she rolled over, and looked at Tomoyo and Eriol, who were enjoying each other's company. Tomoyo saw her looking over in their direction, and engaged in conversation with her.

"Ooh, Sakura, did you get the book you where after for history?" Enquired Tomoyo.

Sakura nodded as she answered, "Hai, but they didn't have a copy in the library, so I had to buy a copy from the college bookshop."

"How come they didn't have a copy in the school library? If it's a book that's mentioned in the textbook, you would think that they would have at least one copy." Questioned Tomoyo, wiggling her eyebrows.

"Because the infamous and wonderful Li took the only copy out of the library." she started sarcastically before sighing and continuing. "Out of all the history students in the whole college, WHY did he have to be the one that took out the only copy."

"Sakura calm down, like you said there are lots of history students, he just happened to be the first person to take out the book." Said Tomoyo trying to calm Sakura down, but to no avail - she was in Syaoran rant mode.

"I swear it, he's out to get me. He even hung around in the library just to annoy me and make jokes at me, about me, whilst I looked for the book. Didn't even think to tell me he had the only copy, so then I looked like a prat in front of the librarian asking for the book, when infact the person who had taken it out was standing right behind me." She fumed. "Why does he hate me so much - what did I ever do to him?"

"As I recall," said Eriol in his usual calm voice. "You threw your lunch over him a few years ago"

"Well he deserved it," she retorted, anger flashing over her face.

"I was only answering your question," said Eriol, throwing his hands up in mock surrender.

Sakura stood up, excused herself from her friends and headed back towards her flat, fuming the whole way home.

She got in, slammed the door shut and sat on the sofa, still angry - mainly because Eriol was right. Syaoran did have a reason to hate her. But throwing her lunch over him wasn't the reason.

*~*Flashback~*~

"Listen Sakura, I don't like him and he doesn't like me, it's that simple. I can't help it if he's a lying untrustworthy manipulative bastard." Said Syaoran firmly but quietly so no one but Sakura could hear him.

"Take that back Syaoran, maybe you don't like him, but I do. So don't resort to petty name calling just because your jealous" replied Sakura, her anger rising.

"Jealous of him?" Syaoran scoffed, "What has HE got that I don't, it's certainly not brains, he's a dunce."

"Me, he's got me" Sakura whispered.

Pain flashed across Syaoran's face. Sakura's words stabbed through him, she was right, he didn't have Sakura, no Kenjii had her.

"Syaoran, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it to come out like that, I shouldn't have said that it was wrong of me!" Sakura apologised, tears forming in her eyes.

"I don't care Kinomoto, you've said what you wanted to say and you can't take it back. Just go away and leave me alone I don't want to talk to you at the moment" he half whispered half yelled at her in anger.

Sakura stood up, her emerald eyes filling with more tears, but this time more of anger and hatred than sorrow. Never had Syaoran called her Kinomoto, never.

"Fine then be like that" she yelled, attracting the attention of nearly everyone in the cafeteria. "I tried to apologise but fuck you, don't EVER speak to me again Li. I mean it."

Sakura then picked up her lunch tray, threw it over Syaoran and stormed out of the cafeteria, tears streaming down her face as she walked further and further away from one of her closest friends.

~*~End flashback~*~

Sakura lay on the sofa, replaying the same incident in her head over and over again. She had lost one of her closest friends because of a stupid boy. And the worst part was Syaoran was right about Kenjii. He was a lying and untrustworthy bastard, he had cheated on her with the school slut, and made her feel worthless. Her and Syaoran had never made friends with each other again, neither of them would swallow their pride and apologise, so the bitching and fighting continued.

Sakura stood up and tried to brush the memories away, there was no point in dwelling on the past, she couldn't change what had happened so why think about it. She went into the kitchen and began to gather some things together to make dinner with. She threw the noodles in the pot, added the veg and left it to stew.

Sakura plonked herself in front of her desk and opened up her various textbooks and settled down to do homework that was due in within the next few days. She sighed as she looked at her homework diary, an essay for psychology, a chunk of questions for biology and finally her history assignment involving the prophecies and how they relate to modern day life.

"Why me, why this much homework and why cant I have a break from all this work thing," she muttered to herself.

~*~

Sakura closed her psychology book and sighed in relief. Two essays done, and only a history assignment left, and that wasn't due in for a while yet. She put all her textbooks back in her bag, and settled down on the sofa. Tomoyo and Eriol were in the kitchen eating what was left of the noodles.

Sakura groped around for the remote, and found it, shoved down the back of the sofa. She rolled her eyes, and already guessed that Tomoyo and Eriol must have 'misplaced' the remote earlier.

She turned the TV on and flicked over to the news channel. News flashed up about the drop of crime rate, and how the murderer of Jing May was still in questioning. Sakura watched all of these in a halfhearted way. She switched over and just left it on an old film. She lay down and closed her eyes, and within seconds she was asleep.

~*~

"Sakura," floated the voice through her dream "Sakura, you must listen to me."

"Who are you" replied Sakura, worried but at the same time curious.

"Who I am does not matter, what matters is that you realise your destiny, and the need to fulfil it" replied the same mysterious voice.

"My destiny" queried Sakura, "sorry buddy I think you have the wrong person, I'm just a normal person, there's nothing special or unique about me"

"That is where you are wrong Sakura, there is so much you have to learn in the short time you have left. I cannot tell you much more, as you have to uncover the truth on your own."

"What truth" asked a now exasperated Sakura.

"The truth that has been there all along, search your heart and you will find it, ignore what I say and something unimaginable will happen to everyone you know and love, as well as many others" continued the voice.

"I don't get it" yelled Sakura into the endless darkness.

"It doesn't matter, soon everything will come to light, and you will understand what forgiveness is so important. For now seek the forgiveness you yearn and then more will come to light.

*~*

Sakura awoke with a start, and found herself in the same place she had been earlier. Nothing had changed except the sky, which was rapidly changing from the sunset red into darkness.

"It was just a dream" Sakura reassured herself.

'But if it was 'just a dream' why does it nag at you so?' asked a little voice in her head.

Sakura ignored the voice, and picked herself of the sofa and moved into her room. Once again nothing had moved, but it all seemed different. She pushed the few books off her bed and collapsed onto it, folding herself up into the covers and shutting her eyes she slowly whirled into a restless sleep.

~*~

Sakura ran through the corridor, trying to get to her first lesson. She pushed through unsuspecting students and ran into her class just as the teacher was arriving.

"Ahh, miss Kinomoto, on time as always I see" joked the professor, it was common knowledge that Sakura was rarely on time for anything.

"Hai sensei" she gasped trying to catch her breath before she sat down.

Her eyes scanned the classroom as she moved to her desk, and laid to rest on a certain Syaoran Li. She scowled at him, and he mealy smiled a sweet sickly smile at her, making her want to gag. She sat in her seat and waited for the torture to begin.

"So Sakura," he whispered "Glad to see you haven't changed since your childhood days, if your still late to class does that mean you still ignore your best friend when he tells the truth"

Sakura felt a growl rising in her throat. She would not rise to him, ever. He would not get the satisfaction of seeing her angry, not again and never again. She bit her lip and tried to suppress her anger, but could feel it begin to bubble.

"Go on Sakura, you know I was right, admit it I was right about that dickhead boyfriend of yours and you know it. So why not admit to it, to scared to admit that you where wrong/" he continued keeping his tone hushed so that the teacher would not hear him.

Sakura turned around in her seat positively fuming, first a bad nights sleep because that strange dream kept playing over and over again, and now this. There could be no better way for anyone to start the day.

"No Li I'm not afraid to admit I was wrong, but you also know I was right. He did have me, and you never have and never will" she retorted trying to keep her voice down.

"And why would I ever want you?" he joked.

"Well if you don't mind me saying, after that latest girlfriend - oh no i'm sorry, after the latest whore you dated, you must be getting desperate" she shot back, watching him begin to anger.

Syaoran's eyes flashed dangerously, and Sakura knew she had hit a weak spot.

"She was a better woman than you" he answered, his eyes still flashing.

Sakura examined her fingernails and whispered over her shoulder to him, "maybe so, but you weren't man enough for her where you now."

Sakura grinned as she heard the gasp from behind her, now she had annoyed him, and continued to do so, enjoying watching the anger slowly boil up. 'Ha' she thought 'this is what you get for annoying me for years.'

"So did pwoor wickle Syaoran not measure up? Is that why you haven't been able to get a date?" she laughed inwardly at her own sarcasm.

"Well if you had failed to notice Kinomoto, you've not had a boyfriend in a long time either?" he retorted.

"I choose to remain single so I can avoid jerks like you" she replied calmly.

"No you choose to stay single, cause no man on this bloody campus would touch you with a 50 meter bargepole." He muttered sarcastically.

"Yup you keep telling yourself that and maybe you will one day realise that it actually applies to you" replied Sakura, her feathers beginning to ruffle slightly.

The bickering between the two continues quietly for the rest of the lesson, and by the time the ball went both where ready to explode. Sakura kept flexing her fingers to stop them curling into a fist, and Syaoran walked with his head down, grinding his teeth.

By the time they both made it to their lockers, which where thankfully in opposite buildings, they both leant against their locker, let out a sigh before screaming.

"I HATE HIM", "I HATE HER!" simultaneously.

~*~

A man with red slits for eyes, observed them both through a glass orb, his eye in the world, and smiled. Everything was how t should be.

"Master, the summer sciolist approaches, and the last four planets will soon be aligned. Everything is going to plan"

"Yes it is indeed going to plan" replied the young man, his eyes glowing in excitement.

"And the chosen two?" enquired the servant.

"The two are drifting further and further apart everyday. My servant on earth has kept them from finding out the truth. And once I finally return to earth, and they recognise me….it will be too late."

He started to laugh, and his laugh resounded through the caverns of hell, forcing the damned to cover their ears in terror.
