Yang-chan: Let me just say this…Thank you my reviewers! If it isn't for you, I would have dropped this story a long time ago…I'm thinking that soon I'm going to wrap up this story. Maybe 4 more chapters…? Just a thought! (smile)

Yeah…summary is 1st chapter.

Last time…

This girl…

This was…

"Sakura…"

All for a Smile

A Yang production

" Watch out Shaoran-kun!" Sakura's voice yelled over the sound of earth breaking up.

Bzzt

" By the power of the stars!" A bright light swirled around Sakura as she called upon the star key.

Bzzt

" Come to me VEPRAE!" Suki appeared on the screen as she pulled in a scorpion looking Veprae. The teen at the other end collapsed to the ground. Suki wiped their forehead, sweat drenching their clothes. " You put up a hell of a fight kid, I'll give you that. Now to get you home, young one." The sound of birds in the distant was heard as Suki carried the teen home.

" Crap…" Meilin flopped down of the couch as Tomoyo ejected the tape out of the VCR. " It's just not her damn it."

" I know what you mean, Meilin-chan." Tomoyo placed the tape back among the other 52 some tapes in a cardboard box. " That isn't Sakura-san. Sakura was so…"

"Dense."

" Thank you." A small picture picked up at Tomoyo. Sakura in 5th grade. So carefree. She placed it next to the picture of Suki that she managed to take while she wasn't looking. " They look nothing alike, they don't even act alike." Footsteps made their way towards the girls.

" I found almost nothing on these Veprae's and The Light." Shaoran snapped shut the book he was carrying. " I poured over the books most of the night, nothing."

The three had gone over to Shaoran's apartment, reading over books, using the Internet, doing all possible research to figure out more about the Veprae.

Honk! Honk!

" Hey! Are you guys coming or not?" Called a voice. Tomoyo and Meilin peeked out the window. Below, Blade, Crow, Dream, Gem, and Suki stared up at them. " Oh Shaoran-kun!" squealed Gem. " Come down and let's go to the amusement park!"

" Hey!" Blade and Dream nodded their heads in Hello.

" Nice day to be outside, eh Suki?" Crow smiled. Suki just frowned and muttered something that sounded like, " I'm the one who made it like this, baka."

" Let's have some fun!" Gem hugged the two girls as they walked down to the car. Shaoran noticing a chance, tried to get to the car, but to no avail, as Gem pounced on him next.

The crowed yelled with delight as they enjoyed the amusement park. Gem acted like a 6 year, trying to go on every ride possible. Crow, Dream, and Blade had all won the grand prize at what ever booth they tried.

" Damn it! How is it that you can win and I can't?" Shaoran glared at Blade as he handed the giant Panda bear to Suki.

" Simple, I use a bit of my magic to even things out." He winked.

" Cheater." Blade gazed off into the distant, ignoring his comment. A slight wind ruffled his blue violet hair, the sun casting it's warm rays on his face. Tomoyo blushed as she looked at him. Her feelings turned to a slight jealousy as Blade wrapped his arms around Suki and smiled at her. Suki gazed at him with sad eyes, and all of Tomoyo's jealousy washed away.

" Hey SUKI!" Crow jumped up in front of Suki with a Dragon's mask on. Suki, caught unaware, tripped over her feet and feel squarely on the tray of shaved ice that Dream had purchased. Ice coldness crept down her face, and into her shirt. The momentum, caused by Suki's clumsiness, made Dream to fall backwards, into Shaoran who divide head first into someone's cotton candy. At the same time, Suki fell on the leg that supported the tank of goldfishes. Tiny little goldfishes flopped around, gasping for breathe.

" OH CRAP!" Suki hissed between clenched teeth. She promised never to take an innocent life, and that included fish. ( Which she hated because of the smell they gave off once they…err…expired) People scurried around, scoping them into cups of water. The rescue was a huge success, not one fish died!

" I'm so sorry." Suki bowed in front of the stand owner.

" Hey, don't be. I made lots of money this afternoon thanks to people who felt sorry on my behalf." The man chuckled, " Maybe I should have you spill me next batch of fish, then I'd be rich!" He gave a hearty laugh before walking off. Everyone around her and the group continued on their way, many of them met old friends that they had lost touch with many years ago.

" Suki, here, take my coat." Dream took his off and draped it over her shoulder. Her hair hung limply to her face.

" Thanks Dream…" Crow grabbed her by the shoulder, pulled her into a hug, and stared at Dream.

" Being the gentlemen, aren't we Dream?"

"What ever do you mean?" Dream laughed nervously.

"We simply have to find a secluded area, call upon the Firey card and be on our way with a dry Suki…or did someone have a lapse in memory?" His eye's narrowed in suspicion. Neither noticed that Blade had led Suki into a deserted booth.

" Time." Everyone froze in their place, well those without magic. " Firey." What looked to be a woman covered entirely in flames wrapped herself around Suki, drying her clothes instantly. " Thank you Firey." The Firey looked at it's master with sympathy. It reached out and placed a hand on it's master's cheek before disappearing. Blade then handed a small Hour glass back to Suki, who turned it around two time.

"-so any way I told mom-"

" Yeah! I would love to go on the Ferris Wheel!"

Time had started again. Meilin and Tomoyo looked around confused. Suki and Blade came out and the whole group continued their day.

"Is it just me or does Suki look more down than usual?" Meilin whispered to Tomoyo.

" My thoughts exactly. Maybe we should cheer her up?" Tomoyo looked at the Swings.

" Mhm, I gotcha!"

" Suki-chan!" Everyone turned around to see Tomoyo and Meilin rush towards them, grab Suki and drag her off with unbelievable speed.

" Did they just do what I think they just did?" Blade asked still staring at the trail of dust.

" You mean kidnap our precious Suki in an attempt to cheer her up, then yes." Crow smiled.

Dream spent no time racing after the three girls. Putting Suki in the hands of Tomoyo and Meilin? Who knows what terrors would result?

" In!" Suki stumbled over the last few steps and found herself locked into a swing. Tomoyo and Meilin sat down and locked themselves into place.

" Uh…you guys! GET ME OUT OF THIS!" The swings jerked forward and Suki's face registered a look of pure fear.

" TOO LATE!" They were lifted off the ground. Suki clutched to the bar as she was propelled forward and to a side. The world outside the swings was a blur of colors. Suki's mind was set on one thing and one thing only: Getting off this thing ALIVE. What seemed like an eternity, the swings slowed down and her feet dragged against the floor till she came to a complete stop. The bar that kept her strapped in was unlocked and she raced to the ground below the steps.

" Sweet land! I will never forsake you again!" She was on her hands and knees. Two firm hands planted themselves on her shoulder. " EEEK! Help!"

"Oh, you'll be fine!"

They went on the roller coaster, the hall of mirrors, bumper cars, a ride that flipped you upside down in order to get the lose change that was in your pockets, the teacups, and the Ferris Wheel. During that time, Suki's usual scowl slowly became a thin line. The moment that they got off Carousel Suki felt something warm inside. It spread through out her body. It felt…nice.

Dream turned a corner and saw Suki's back. "SUKI!" She turned around and to look at who had called her. A lead weight fell on his shoulder as he looked at her.

" Dream!" She smiled. For the first time in many years, she smiled. Her arms were flung around his neck as she hugged him. Tomoyo and Meilin shared as accomplished smile between themselves. Mission accomplished.

" Suki…" Dream breathed. Her voice was filled with joy. He pulled her closer and returned the hug. " It's been forever since I last saw you smile." But their happiness was short lived.

BOOM!

The Ferries Wheel generator exploded, causing those nearby to dive for the ground.

" Attention, will everyone calmly head for the nearest exist? I repeat, head for the nearest exist." A voice boomed over the loud speaker. Scream drowned out the voice as the people pointed at the Ferries Wheel. Flames licked the metal structure. People inside the compartments pleaded for someone to help them out. Suki turned and faced the destruction. A small child cried for his mother who lay unconscious on the ground next to him.

" MAMA! WAKE UP! MAMA! PLEASE MAMA! IT'S SO HOT! MAMA!"

She ran towards the flames, in this situation, she could not use her magic. It would be too risky.

" SUKI!"

The flames whipped around her, playing against her skin. She had to get the kid and his mother out.

" Hey kid, can you move?" She called over the roar of the fire.

" Kinda."

" Good, get into the center of the box." The kid did as he was told, already the heat was getting to him. Outside the door was a slight red color.

" Water, create a glove for my hand." Suki whispered. Her hands were cool, and she reached for the door handle. Steam sizzled as the water made contact with the metal. As she pulled the door open she realized the mistake that she made.

" AGHHH!" The flames burned right through her clothes and scorched her back. Damn it Suki!

The kid sobbed as he watch Suki cringe in pain. I can't do this like this! Sirens wailed nearby. Water poured down on the flames. In the battle of Flame and Water, Water wins. The fire died out and the ones in the top compartments were evacuated first.

" Thank you Lady." The boy was lead away next to his mother, he suffered minor burns, and his mother was not in any danger.

" Is that everyone?" A firefighter asked. A murmur swept through the crowd.

" Ichigo? Where's Ichigo?" A woman cried as she realized that her youngest daughter was not at her side. No! The Ferries Wheel! Suki turned on her heels as she raced for the weak structure. A little girl peeked out of a window.

" Mama! Look at me!" She tried to climb over the seats, but found she was too short. The structure lurched forward. A smile was on the little girl's face. Suki ran as fast as she could, I will never let an innocent die on account of me! That little girl was unafraid, that smiled proved it. That sweet smile on an innocent angel…

…and it was gone forever in a cloud of ash, smoke, and dying embers.

"NO! GOD NO! NOT HER!" Suki cried out in anguish.

" MY BABY! MY BABY!" The woman broke down.

Firemen dug through the ruble, in search of the child. Suki wanted to believe that she was alive, but when they brought out that lifeless body, she knew.

Suki collapsed to the ground. " Not her!" She pounded the ground with both fists. " NOT HER! TAKE ME! TAKE ME DAMN IT! TAKE ME!" Her face was covered in soot, but trails of tears were clearly seen. " Take this cursed soul. Take this broken body! Don't take that innocent angel! WHY! DAMN IT? WHY ME! Why can't I die instead of her! Why am I alive and not her?"

The world echoed her cries… "WHY!"


More drama, more angst, more into why Suki must never smile. Review please.
