Splat

splash

Sakura stared silently at the tiled hospital floor, trying to concentrate on the patterns instead of the numbing dissappointment in her heart. The tears, as if unnoticed, came inccessantly like unstringed pearls rushing out of her emeral orbs.

She has watched the man get cold before her, his heart slowly ceasing to beat, the unexpected quickness that death can take over a person scared her. She had tried so hard, but what use could it be? It's useless to fight against fate..and the death angel...

flashback

"Mama?"

"....."

"Where do people go when they die?"

Young Sakura is plopped beside the sickly white hospital bed, her mother tangled up under layers of white covers, her face pale as the sheets.

A long silence followed...

"Well, sweetie" She closed her eyes a breif moment, shutting away the dull pain.

"when people die, they go to a very pretty place called heaven, where they don't feel any pain or suffering, only happiness. And they will be watched over by lots and lots of pretty angels....."

"..Is that where mama will go..?"

A single tear glided down her face onto the sheets, unoticed by both of them

"Yes...and don't forget that mama will always be there for you, be your angel..."

end of flashback

"..Is that where you truely went?" Her honey chestnut hair hiding her features, Sakura whispered to the heavens,

"..Is that where all of the people go?...To the beautigul place with the angels...?"

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

Yue silently looked out the window at the forever buzzing streets below, then back at the lithe form of the figure huddling on the corner of the hospital steps, amethyst orbs softened.

Gently gliding over to the girl, he reached out a ghostly hand and delicatly traced a thin line over her face. his fingers touched the tears, but the cool feeling didn't come, instead came bitterness.

He had been so shocked when she looked right into his eyes with such determination, her eyes piercing through him and looking inside him-even past him, challenging death itself. Although he was sure she didn't see him-she couldn't, the lingering doupt keep touging at the heart, as if in his subconciousness he almost WANT her to see him. He want someone to recognize him, to feel included in life-but that could never be.

The girl-Sakura-that's how the others address her, shook a little and seem to mutter to her self about something. She seem to be reminiscing about something, her orbs, made greener and larger by her tears, are slightly glazed over.

"Is..that where you truely went..? The hushed whisper is barely audible, Yue found him self staring into those soulful green eyes once again, they held such emotions, and sorrow, now as if they're directed right at him.

"..Is that where all the people go..?To the beautiful place with...angels?

Feline eyes widened, he lowered his head and whispered in silent response, one that she couln't hear,

"No...they fade and become part of the sunset...."

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

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

Sakura's footsteps rang empty echoes in the almost deserted hospital. She absently ran a hand through her silky chestnut mane. I must look horrible, crying the entire afternoon she robbed her eyes, remebering the afternoon's events, a hint of pink tainted her cheeks. Li had came to comfort her, just like always, and offerend her a shoulder to cry on and kind words to sooth her soul. he was allways there for him and she had come to almost depend on that strength...

She stopped suddenly, spotting a lone figure satnding by the elevator...who is that? It's long past visiting hour already...

Sakura strided closer to get better look, her breath caught in her throat as she stopped behind the person. The person's long treses fell in a waterfall of silver loosely down her back and reaches her ankles (hmmm, ya know some times I wonder what kind of shampoo Yue uses... Head and Shoulders maybe .), A long coal black cloak covered the lean shoulders, and black trousers and black shoes topped off the mysterious attire.

What a pretty lady..Sakura thought absently, although she can't see the figure;s face, she has a feeling it's just going to be as heavenly as the hair.

The person seems to be pretty preocupied with the series of up and down bottons of the elevator...Sakura walked up to her and cleared her throat....

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

"Um...excuse me Miss? It's passed visiting time already and the hospital's closing, maybe you chould leave for now.."

Yue turned around at the childish sweet voice. Sakura is standing behind with a friendly smile on her face, he flinched for a minute, then remembered that he had chose to make himself seen to human eyes. He watched as the girl stared up and down at him for a full 5 minutes, her eyes lingering several times on his chest, and her widened.

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

..........She..I mean..he's a GUY!? Sakura's face burned furiously ( arrow pointing to Sakura, is kind of thick at observations) as she watched a hint of amusement flash by the man's amethyst orbs. His eyes...they're so amazing, they're so light and piercing like a cats..., for a moment, she stood motionless and stared at the man, made irridescent by the glowing hospital lights.

He's beautiful.... her eyes widened at the sudden realization, the man was indeed perfection, the elabaster skin, the silver mane, and his feline eyes....

She felt small and insignificant standing next to him, he's like an angel, but a mysterious one...somehow he resembles the image of the death angel in my heart...

She kept staring at him, and he returned it with equal scrutinence, an uncomfortable silence begain to settle in, until Sakura can't stand it anymore...

"Eh hehe...I mean Mister, it's very late already, you can always come back tomorrow before 5pm" She offered cautiously.

"Oh."He responded without a hint of diasappointment.

Sakura's curiousity is peaked.

"May I ask who you're visiting, Mr......"

"Yue, I'm checking on...a friend."

The somewhat low musculine voice coming from such a femiline face startled her and she Sakura was speechless for a moment.

"Death comes and claims to its own pleasure, there's no point dweling over it when the living can change nothing. You can't live in deniel forever."

The sentence hit Sakura deep in her chest, her head snapped up, starttled.

"Wh...why...are you tellig me this?"

"Just repeating the fact that you already know in your heart."

Her heart pounded rapidly, how did he know? And why is he telling me this...? For a moment she's jsut lost in her thoughts, standing there, unaware oft he man's eyes softened at her hesitence.

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

Yue watched silently at the girl as waves of emotions flashed through her eyes, she's like a mirror, reflectinf all the beauty and ugliness of the world in her eyes. She knows the world's cruelness deep down

but is too innocent to admitt it to herself....

Suddenly something brushed against his conciousness, beckoning him, he gazed out the window.

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

"Good night, Sakura"

Again starttled out of her thoughts, Sakura's surprised at the man's sudden intention to leave after just randomly telling her all of that.

wait...how did he know my name? Did he.....

"How do you know my name?"

The man smiled and motioned towards her ID card, still hanging on her collar forgotten.

"Oh..." She laughed lightly, a tiny hint of disappointment tugged at her heart, she ignored it.

"Well...good night...Yue."

She watched silently as the man went down the stairs instead of the elevator, his footsteps light as whispers. Looking down at her ID card, Sakura's eyes widened.

Below her picture, the card reads: Doctor Kinomoto.

Unconciously, she smiled.....

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

Yue stepped out into the cool night air, willing his body to go invisible again.

Ceroberos is standing in the middle of the empty parking lot, his fur glowing under the moonlight.

"Hey there buddy, you took a little long just to collect a soultoday. What are you doing in there, socializing?"

Yue smirked.

"Maybe"
