Chapter 7: Birthday

(This one's just short. Forgive me…)

"Sakura…Sakura…" Said the voice from the light. She reached out a hand as if wanting to grab that light from afar…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sakura… Sakura…"

"mm… What?" She mumbled and sat up.

"Wake up lazy bum! It's already 12 noon!" Touya ordered as he got out of Sakura's room. "Get ready now or we'll be late"

She got out of bed and fixed herself. "Late for what?"

"Stupid… Late for your birthday dummy. Father's at the hotel already, waiting for us."

"Oh yeah… Its my 18th B-day today…"

"Good thing you remembered… I thought your brain might be wondering somewhere here. Monsters are really stupid, ne? Sakura?"

"Ugh! Get lost!" She threw a pillow heading Touya's direction

"Hurry up ok?" He shouted back as he ran downstairs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'My 18th B-day… I can't believe its been that long…Syao…' Sakura thought as she viewed the scenery outside from the car… 'The last time I saw him was 3 years ago… I miss him…'

"Hey, Kaijuu. Were here. Get out of my car and go on inside." Touya ordered as he parked the car.

"Ok. How 'bout you?"

"I'll get the bags. And I still have to pick up your dress at the store."

"I see… Then I'll just see you later." Sakura headed in to the hotel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey dad!" Sakura greeted and sat right next to her father.

"Happy birthday Sakura" he greeted. "So are you ready for tonight's masquerade party?"

"Yeah… I hope!"

"Wow… My daughter… Can't believe you're all grown up now…"

"aw… Dad. I'll always be your daughter. No matter what." She smiled and got up. "Could you please excuse me?"

"Sure.. Where are you going?"

"Downstairs… I'm gonna check up on Tomoyo… She told me that she'd be here early 'coz she'd be fixing me up later.."

"I see… Ok. Go."

"Thanks" She ran out of the room and headed down to the lobby

A/N: This is just it. Was the dream part confusing? Well……. It kinda means that the dream also represents time… When she fell asleep, she was 15 then when she awoke she's now 18. Gets? I hope you get it…

Sorry for not updating, 'kay!
