Essence of Cherry Blossoms
Disclaimer: no own ccs!!!
This story is written because of my inspiration of Korean Fanfiction I read. So if you feel a similarity in the writing, it's from there. I'm going to try and not copy the style, although its hard not to. But the humor and sadness was great and I had to write something different, yet similar. Props to the writer of Tainted Memories.
Hope you enjoy this fic!
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
What do you do when you try to forget a guy, who truly loved you, but is gone… for no apparent reason? What do you do…when your best friend of 10 years… suddenly betrays you?
I looked up at the towering skyscrapers of Hong Kong, and breathed in the air, Tears forming at the corners of my eyes, when I remembered Nao.
O o O o O o O o O o O o O o
The bustle of Hong Kong, truly amazed me.
I had grown up in the countryside in Tomoeda, Japan. I had won a scholarship to China, which I discarded at first, but depressing events had urged me to fill out the acceptance letter.
Now I lived in ZhouXiang apartments, being funded by a prestigious college. My father, Fujitaka, and annoying brother, had come along. I suppose they are worried about my troubled heart. And my mother? Nadeshiko Kinomoto, is dead. She died when I was 3, from a heart problem. My heart is okay though! No worries.
So, as the morning drew on, I trudged my way to DaGong University as a first year student. To be more specific, I was going to an all girls' college. (a/n DaGong? What a freak name. It's Chinese. But not really Chinese. Because I kinda made it up)
O o O o O o O o O o O o O o O o O o O
I stood up as the last bell rang.
"Sakura!"
I smiled as Tomoyo, my new found friend came running towards me. Earlier that morning she had come towards me with a bright smile.
"Hi! My name is Tomoyo. I came from Japan too! Just 3 years ago. I hope we can become great friends!"
I had looked at her in shock and smiled hesitantly. "Sakura… Sakura Kinomoto. I hope so as well." I hope I am able to trust her, not like-
"So what are you doing today? All unpacked?"
"Yeah" I replied with a smile.
"Great! Then come with me!!!" She beckoned me.
How can she change her voice to hyper, then hyper times three?
"To where?" I asked as I hoisted my bag and began walking out the homeroom 27 with Tomoyo.
"C'mon", she said, rolling her eyes, "To NanJang of course! Its only 10 blocks away!"
Tomoyo… I can't read minds. I've been in Hong Kong for approximately 38 and half hours. And 10 blocks is a lot. In fact, 5 blocks is a lot. Or maybe I just haven't exercised for a while. But wait, I had PE in Japan! (a/n ok, so she's going to be not very athletic in here.) Does PE count?
"NanJang?"
"Oh. My. God! Sakuraaa. NanJang! All boys' school! DaGong, all girls' school! Deprived girls, us!" she said while jumping from foot to foot.
Tomoyo…please stop jumping around. People are staring at us. And I'm not deprived. You are.
"Umm… well, you see… I need to get –"
"Don't you wiggle yourself out of this! Going to other countries means shopping! And shopping includes boys! I'm dragging you there if you're not coming willingly!" she said gleefully, already dragging me towards NanJang.
We finally arrived at an enormous, yet worn down college. It looked just like a High school. I was completely out of breath as I walked with Tomoyo, along a wired fence. From our position we could see Boys playing soccer..
"OH MY GOD! Sakura! They are so cute! Look look! The one with blue hair! Oh my god! He's looking this way!" After she was done screeching, she turned to me looking quite hysterical. " Is my hair ok?! How do I smell?!"
Tomoyo… no matter how kind and wonderful you are… I am not smelling you.
"Never mind! He's coming this way!"
"Hey… Can I see you sometime?" said the boy with a shy smile.
"Oh my god! Sakura chan! He spoke to me!"
Please Tomoyo… act like the guy is there. He's standing right in front of you.
" Umm… soo…"
"ERIOL HIIRAGIZAWA!" The boy, named Eriol, looked back without an ounce of fear until he realized the Captain was charging at him."
"I'll see you sometime later?!" he asked quickly, eyeing Tomoyo hopefully.
Holding up a V, she blew him a kiss. He grinned and ran away just in time as the Captain threw the soccer ball at him.
"Sakura! Isn't this wonderful!?"
" Yeah."
I said while trying not to think that the date had taken about 8 seconds."
"Oh no! I'm sorry Sakura! I have to go to my singing lessons! I'll call you later! Bye bye!"
I stood there in a kind of stupor, still staring at the spot Tomoyo was standing in.
"Hey you."
I looked up and saw not far to my right, an opening into the soccer fields where a park stood. There was a boy wearing obviously the NanJang uniform, with the top 3 buttons of the dress shirt unbuttoned. (a/n uniform for college? Mannn, bear with me. Guys in uniform are hot!) I looked around, seeing if there was anyone next to me he might have been talking to instead.
"I'm talking to you, ugly."
"What did you say?!" I said between gritted teeth. Ugly?! I'm not beautiful.. but surely not ugly!
" I said, U-G-L-Y, ugly. In other words, very defo-" Before he could say another word, I stormed up to him and glared down.
"How old are you!?"
"Why? I don't go out with ugly girls. I won't go out with you."
I flung myself on the grass and began throwing my head against the ground. What a stupid ass kid!
"Hey… hey! Stop doing that. Not only is it embarrassing to me, but you're also hurting the poor ground. And don't forget your destroying property. Do you want to get sued?"
I glared at him. He stared right back at me with deep amber eyes.
And that's when I suddenly remembered Nao.
I felt my eyes slightly tear up, but that quickly disappeared when the guy said " Hey… stop staring at me. I know I'm good looking and all, but- "
Oh. My. God! This guy is impossible!
Ok. That's all for now. I'm not sure how enjoyable this Fic was. So I'll see what people say about it.
Hopefully, if you've ever read my other Fic's, this one was much better written. I've deleted my other ones, because seriously, there was no way to continue it, unless it became very stereotypical.
Which I do not enjoy writing.
So review and ill hopefully make the next chapter longer! Bye bye!
