Chapter one Intertwined Paths

===========================================================

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH"

thump, rattle

"OUCH!"

Kinomoto Sakura scrambled out of bad in a frenzy of cloths and sheets and stumbled to the bathroom. The alarm clock still beeping by the bedside stant.

Mooo, I can't believe I snoozed for 30 minutes on that alarm clock, I'm going to be soooo late for work, should get a clock that don't have the snooze function next time....

Sakura abuses her teeth with frenzied brushing while trying to get the tangles out from her short chestnut hair at the same time. The girl-or whether young women that looked back at her from the mirror looked bleary eyed with her cheeks slightly flushed cutely, her wide emerald eyes sparkled with a hint of weariness.

Sakura sighed, the poor little girl being hit by that car yesterday afternoon had died not long after they placed her on the operation table. She had gone to her funeral and stayed there to talk with her parents the entire night..

I should of saved her...I should of be there earlier I should of...she sighed, don't take it so hard on your self...she unconvincingly scolded herself, but the guilt constantly nagged at the back of her heart, laughing at her failure.

Shaking her head, Sakura finished her washing, threw on some cloths, and rushed out of her apartment on her bike.

The gentle breeze picked up the corner of her jacket and swirled her hair around her heart shaped face like a halo, she smiled and leaned towards it.

Fate is cruel, but I can do nothing to change it....

======================================================================

Suspended in midair, Yue closed his eyes for a minute, savoring the gentle caress of the wind........or at least how the wind would feel like on his cheeks. He long to feel it, but he know he never will. He can fly, but can never know the sensation of floating, of the movement in the wind, or the coolness of the air.

The incoming pack of ducks squawked and flew around him, as if they can sense the foreboding feeling of death and wish to stay away. Yue smirked at the irony of nature, his brilliant sheet of silver tresses tumbled around in the wind-a sharp contrast to his coal black robe. His unearthly beauty would make anyone's chin hit the floor, but they will all be dead when they do witness the angel-and never have the chance.

Suddenly, the none but too familiar sensation tugged at him, a death draws near, his wings extended, the angel glides towards the gray and blue hospital building in the central city. =========================================================================

Sakura is greeted by the shrill noise of the ambulance when she arrived at the hospital. An emergency car parked by the front door as workers carried a man out on a stretcher. The man was about forty, with white streaks mingled with his dark green hair, his chest trembled with suffering breaths and his face ghostly pale.

The young doctor muttered a quiet prayer for the poor man and rushed into the hospital, only to slam right into..... Li.

"Oh Sakura-chan, I was looking for you, " he said hurriedly, "Ryui is not here today, so you have to perform the surgery on the man outside...heart attack."

"But..."before she can object, Li grabbed her shoulders and looked deep into her eyes, she shivered.

"Look Sakura, you can do this, trust in your self, you're strong."

His arms are so strong....her head is so confused, but she nodded nonthless. He smiled,

"Good luck, all I ask is you do the best you can." The young man kissed her gently on the cheek and urged a "hurry and get ready", before dissapearing down the aisle.

Sakura stood there, a hand still on her cheek where the his kiss landed, half stund with a tiny hint of smile on her lips that even she didn't realize.

"TAKE HIM TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM!"

The shout shocked her out of her reverie, and the young docter hurried down the hallway to the emergency room.

==========================================================================

Yue materialized out side the emergency room, his wings folding against his back. The feeling is closer now. He closed his eyes, letting his body parting into little atoms and went through the closed door.

==========================================================================

Sakura hastily wiped the thin sweat off her brow...it's being an hour now, and the man's heart has almost ceased beating.

No..no....I can't give up, this is my chance to repend for my failure..his family is depending on me...XXXXXXX is depending on me...I can do this..I can...

She threw her tools away and start pressng his chest trying to get his heart to start beating again,

Push, up, push, up, push...I must look like sme desperate fool...the other nurses has already backed off and accepted fate, but.. no I can't let him just die like this... no...

"NOOOOOOOOO!"

==========================================================================

Yue stood by the corner of the operation room the entire time, inside the shadows and watched the young doctor's efforts with emotionless eyes. The man is fading fast, and he knows it, the way he relaxed and waited for fate to claim him.......the only one that's fighting the inevitable is the green eyed girl, she seems so small against the force of death she tries so hard to stop.....alone in this room, stubbornly holding on to the last glimpse of hope...

The angel shook his head silently and observed the young doctor pressing again and again, desperately trying to pump air into the dying man's chest, her breath seem to quicken and she keep muttering to her self some hopeless comfort.

The heart beat monitor's sound got slower and slower, every distant beep brought more dread to the emergency room, everyone watched, afraid that the line will suddenly become cease to jump and remain dead quiet for eternity...

"NOOOOOOOOO!"

The young doctors' shoulders trembled violently, and she suddenly looked up- -wide emeralds glittering with ushed tears met with bottomless emerthrist,

"You can't take him, I won't let you." The promise came out a whisper, harsh and broken, but determined, their eyes locked,

And time itself stopped.

Whew, I'm finally done with the 1st chappie, pleaz let me know how you think of it!! Flame me what what ever, I don't care, just give some REVIEWS!!
