I don't own CCS Chapter 1: escapeSakuya's POV
Hello, my name is Toriyama Sakuya but everybody knows me as Pink Blossoms. I'm an actor and a singer. I enjoy acting but
the pressure is getting to me. Since my mother was an actress I was born an actress. But I also loved to sing, my mother use
to say I was an angel sent by God to bless the world with my talent. Then my greedy manager Kazuya Minatoro got the idea
that he could get more money if I became a singer, so when my mother died he saw that no one could stop his 'dream'.
But that was ten years ago. Now I'm sixteen years old and its time for me to take charge. I'm now going to do the
unthinkable I am going to runaway. I'm tired of the stupid press practically monitoring everything I do, unlike other normal
teenagers who will do anything to be popular, I just want to be normal!
I'll give anything to be normal…
(Normal POV)
It was around two o'clock am and everyone in the Minatoro mansion was asleep, all except for a black haired girl with green
eyes.
" I have to…" a hushed whisper gently echoed in the darkness
A small form quietly slid out of bed, clothed in a light yellow nightgown, crept toward the door and opened it, seeing no one
she quietly closed it and locked the door. Sakuya turned on her bedside lamp and knelt by the bed. Her slender hands
reached under the queen-sized bed and pulled out a pink messenger bag and placed a change of clothes: black jeans, a yellow
and pink tank top and a pair of running sneakers, inside its empty form. She then walked into her built in bathroom switching
the light on the whole room seem to glow a bright gold for the tiles were yellow. Sakuya turned and stared at her reflection in
the mirror and sighing she grabbed a nearby scissor, gathered her long wavy hair into her hands and brought the scissor to it.
Black locks gently floated toward the ground into a small heap.
About Forty-five minutes later Sakuya had dyed her hair from long wavy midnight black to shoulder length medium auburn.
She was currently staring at her new self in the mirror. Drops of water fell from her hair as a smile graced her features.
" Tomorrow," she began to say to herself" …tomorrow, I am to meet Onoyashi-san at the restaurant for lunch to discuss the
movie we'll be working on. I just need to cover my hair so no one would suspect a thing!"
"The stage as been set!"X X X X X
With her bag ready, her hair set, she added the finishing touch. Sakuya stood staring once again at her mirror she was wearing
a yellow sundress with sunflowers scattered over it. She stood there wondering if she was doing the right thing, wondering if
she chose the right path. Wondering…
There was a knock at the door…
" Miss. Toriyama," called a maid from behind the closed door. "Mr. Minatoro request you meet him at the limousine
promptly!"
" Yes, I'll be right there!" Sakuya replied not taking her eyes off her reflection.
When she was sure she heard the shuffling of feet leave she picked her large sunbonnet and put it on. Her now auburn hair
was tied up in a short ponytail and her bangs were brushed up so none could be seen. With that finishing touch she picked up
the pink messenger bag and walked out.
' This may be the last time I see this room. The only place I could be … me ' was her last thought as she closed the door.

Sakuya barely made her way down the stairs before flashes and sounds bombarded her. She gave the cameras a fake smile
and hurriedly headed for the exit, only to see more magazine reporters and cameramen outside the huge mansion.
" Tell me Miss. Toriyama" came a reporter " Do you think this new movie would be as great of a hit as your others?"
Sakuya frowned; no one was suppose to know about the movie, the deal was made two days ago! This could complicate
things!
" I do hope so!" came a deep voice from behind the reporter
" Oh you must be Toriyama's manger, Kazuya Minatoro!"
Sakuya just stared at Minatoro, his hair was half way gray and his eyes were as black as coal.
' He was the one who told them to come here!'
Sakuya gave them both a fake smiled and walked past them towards the limousine, Minatoro following. She glared at the limo
driver who opened the door for her; she was perfectly capable of opening the door herself. Sakuya stepped inside and sighed
as the door closed. The car started and she smile to herself, her plan was going smoothly give or take some rough spots. Just
then the window was winded down and in pops Minatoro's gray head,
" You'll be going to the best restaurant in all of Tokyo! You should be excited!" his ugly smile disappeared as he spotted her
bag." Don't you think that bag is a bit too big?" he asked curiously as his eyes narrowed
" … you never really know … when … I…uh… would need any of my make-up!" Sakuya finished with a sharp intake of
breath, she rarely lied. Minatoro still continued to glare at Sakuya suspiciously but nevertheless his ugly head retreated and the
car began to move.

The trip to the restaurant seemed too long for a nervous Sakuya. She would constantly, like a little child, ask the driver:
' Are we there yet?'
And the poor driver would reply annoyed:
' No Miss. Toriyama!'
After over a hundred times of Sakuya asking and the driver replying, they finally reached their destination, to both of them
relieve.

(Sakuya POV)
When I got to the restaurant I met Mr. Onoyashi, a man of about forty with gray hair and dull eyes, and was introduced to the
actors I was supposed to work with. Through out the whole meeting I paid attention to nothing they said, it didn't really
matter to me because I wouldn't be here long anyway!
I sighed and looked around my surroundings, which by the way was way fancy and high class for my taste, but I was too
nervous to do anything else. I stopped when I spotted the bodyguards Minatoro sent, all so his ticket to living a great life with
useless riches and glory, would not escape! The sooner I get out of here the better I would feel!
My attention returned to the people in front of me, when the other actors, twins Kane and Kin, began arguing about something
while Onoyashi was trying his very best to calm them down. I took this chance to excuse myself and headed for the bathroom,
but the security Minatoro sent followed me. I manage to make the men wait outside while the other two women insisted they
come.
I locked myself in the last of the fancy stalls. I waited a minute then the girls began chatting amongst themselves and I put the
rest of my plan into action. I took out my change of clothes and switched it with my sundress. Placing my sundress noiselessly
into my bag, I changed into my sneakers and placed my high heels inside my bag. When I was done changing I peeked out the
stall, the girls were still talking. Opening the bathroom window I gently tossed my bag out and climbed out myself. So far so
good… I thought as I began running, it would take a lot to bring me back here…

" Miss. Toriyama? Are you there?" asked one of Sakuya's females bodyguards
" Miss. Toriyama!" getting no answer they broke down the door only to see the bonnet Sakuya was wearing on the floor.
" We are so screwed!" remarked one in distaste
" Yeah… this door looks so expensive… and we broke it down!" whined the other while the first girl sweat dropped at her
stupidity.

" Tickets for Hong Kong please!" came an auburn haired girl with shining emerald eyes.
" Tickets from Tokyo to Hong Kong! What's your name?"
" My name is … Kinomoto Sakura!"
