Chapter Nine For Only One More Second

-

((.:Sora's POV:.))

Kairi-chan left my room and I belly flopped onto my bed. I sighed, "I am so totally flippin' screwed," I ran my tanned hand through my chestnut mane. I let my sapphire orbs roll to the back of my head and rested my eyes. 'life is so cruel!' I thought.

.:Flashback of a Flashback:.

It was April 8 2001 the night of the Ichigo Elementary Spring Carnival. I decided to ditch the tradition with going with Riku-kun and Syaoran-kun, and going with my sister Sakura-chan and her kawaii friend Kairi-chan. "Oh my goodness, this is awesome!" Kairi-chan squealed with excitement. "Wow look a Ferris wheel! Cool!" Saku-chan and I stared at her, we were both used to the carnival and we both guessed that her old school didn't have carnivals.

Then I looked around us, "Ahem, Kairi… People are staring." I whispered. Her eyes grew wide and looked all around us and gasped. Kai-chan stated power walking Sakura and I followed.

We had made into the stands isle where they had all the prize-winning goodies and food 'n drinks but one stand caught my eye, 'Kouji Tennyo's Physic Readings'. 'Hmmm" I wondered, "Could she maybe tell me my future?' I hoped. I looked back to the two bubbly girls, "Hey guys I'll be right back, kay?" I said heading toward the small blue tent.

I walked in to see a beautiful probably not much older than the age of 27. She had long very dark brown hair that almost looked black with burgundy eyes with her soft lips splashed with delicate cherry color. The woman was dressed in a traditional kimono that was a dark purple with a couple grey designs here and there.

"you may sit down boy," she said with an angelic voice that totally reminded me of kairi-chan's. With a finger she gestured to the chair that was across the table from her. I nodded and sat down.

"Arigatou, Kouji-sama," I said shyly but politely.

She shook her snow white face, "No need to be so formal." She waved her hand, "You may call me, Tennyo-san, if you please… Sora"

I looked at her wide eyedly, 'How does she know my name?' I wondered. She had a smug look on her face, "I know all that there is to know," she said making me a little freaked out.

"Give me your hand please," she said tenderly holding out her soft ivory hand. I looked at her cautiously, was it a bad idea to come in here? I slowly started giving my hand to the Physic. She stroked my palm with thumb while firmly holding my hand. "You need to use some lotion my boy," If I was an anime I would of sweat dropped and fell out of my chair. I gave her a look of annoyance.

Tennyo-san nodded, "But no really," Her face all of a sudden showed no expression what's so ever, she ran her thumb over my palm lines. (A/N Are they really called that? TT) The woman seemed to be in deep concentration.

After about like a minute she finally came out of her concentration. And her face showed sadness. "You care for a girl, don't you?" she asked with a sweet but depressing voice.

My face turned red but I nodded. "Just as I read," she sighed and continued, "You will find love in this girl eventually, but something will tear you guys apart but only you and her have to fix that," I looked at her to try to understand, I was only 10 years old, how was I supposed to understand anything about love?

"Uh…umm… what kind of thing would tear us apart?" I asked.

"That I cannot say my boy," Tennyo-san said in serious but calm voice. I nodded to mean that understood, even though I didn't because right now I was probably the most confused person in the whole world.

Just as I was walking out I stopped and asked, "Tennyo-san how old are you anyway,"

She smiled at me sweetly and said in an even sweeter voice, "How old do you think I am Sora-kun?"

"Uh, 27,"

"You are correct," she said nodding and smiling happily.

"I'm sorry for asking that, I was just curious, gomen sumimasen." I said bowing.

"No need child, you need to run along now the girl awaits," she said.

.:End of Flashback of a Flashback:.

I opened my eyes, "Well she was right about one thing, I fell in love with her. But what did she mean by something will tear us apart?" I asked out loud. But that's where all those thoughts ended when the doorbell rang. I knew was here but I just wanted my sister to tell me cuz I thought it was kinda funny when she yelled to me.

"Sora, Riku-kun and Syaoran-kun are here!" my older sister Yuna-chan called.

"KAAAAY!" I yelled coming down the stairs all ready.

-At the Game-

(A/N Okay basket ball isn't exactly me fav sport sooo I'm not going to write bout the game so much, kk, plus I'm not exactly the best sports person the only game I kinda understand is……… BASEBALL! Otherwise I play wall ball the least complicated game Hehehe )

My team was winning so far with only 30 seconds left. All the cheerleader were cheering very loud but I could only hear one's: Kairi's.

"Go Sora!" I heard her scream for me, I gave her my goofy grin and went back to concentrate on the game, Riku-kun passé me the ball but right when I caught it I heard a scream from the cheerleaders.

I looked it was Hamasaki-san, all of the cheerleaders looked up and so did I to see some of the players from the opposing team that we were playing were unscrewing the basket which the cheerleaders were under.

All of the cheerleaders ran except for Kairi-chan who seemed paralyzed with fear. Since I was the closest one to the basket I dropped the ball and ran, "Kai-chan" I pushed her as hard as I could I fell and every thing went black…

(A/N Ya know this would be the perfect time to stop but since I'm in a good mood and I have a lot of time to type and since u guys waited for this chappie, I'll continue)

My eyes bursted open to see a very white room with a lot of surgeons around me, I panted and I grabbed the closest surgeon to me, she had big amber eyes with coke bottle glasses, "Tell Kai-chan I…" But that's when I blanked out totally never to wake up alive…

.:End of Flashback:.

"If only I had one more second," I said looking ashamed.

Kairi-chan looked up at me, "One more second for what?"

I looked at the red head, "Oh nothing," I mumbled annoyed. But my face had a little pink tint to it. I sighed, "How are my sisters?" I asked.

Kairi-chan kind of shot me a dirty look, "Hmm, Well Yuna-san is always moping around on the couch with her boyfriend, Tidus-san, Sakura-chan, depressed and won't barely freaking talk. Selphie-chan and Rikku-chan, are pretty sad so they play with your video games."

I nodded sadly, "My mother,"

"She really now glared at me, "Well your mother, is always sad, thanks to you. And well she won't smile, all she does is cry and think of you." She hissed.

That one hurt pretty bad but I continued down the list anyway. "My father?"

"She sighed real deep, "Well I haven't seen much of him but I figure he's pretty upset still,"

"Riku-kun, Syaoran-kun?" I asked, I missed my old buddies they were fun to be around with like Kairi except I wasn't attracted to them like that. (A/N Gawd I would hope so, cheating on Kairi like that Hehehe I really have nothing against gay people I really don't)

"They're a little down but those two are trying to do what you'd want us to do, be happy."

I nodded, "Exactly, I just want you guys to be happy without me instead of crying over me," I looked at girl in front of me, her eyes were glistening with tears.

"Sora-kun,"

"Yeah,"

"I'm sorry,"

"About what?"

"Saying the stuff I never meant to say,"

I looked at her, I saw that she wasn't lying and that she was really sorry, I sighed, "It's okay." I looked at her clock, "Hey isn't Inuyasha supposed to be on? Lets go watch Inuyasha," she nodded, she sat on her window bench and turned on the TV and I sat on the floor we watched and when 'our' song came on all we could do was look at each other.

"Dearest" Ayumi Hamasaki 3rd Ending of Inuyasha From the "I AM" CD

Hontou ni taisetsu na mono igai subete sutete
shimaetara ii no ni ne
genjitsu wa tada zankoku de

sonna toki itsu datte
me o tojireba
waratteru kimi ga iru

Ah! Itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made
dou ka sono egao ga
taema naku aru you ni

hito wa minna kanashii kara
wasurete yuku ikimono dakedo

aisubeki mono no tame

Ah! Deatta ano koro wa

toomawari shita yo ne

Ah! Itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made
dou ka sono egao ga
taema naku aru you ni

Ah! Deatta ano koro wa

The song ended, "Sora-kun,"

"Un?"

"I missed you a lot, and I'm happy you chose me,"

"Me too,"
