ok, this is my second attempt at a fanfiction...plz r and r!

8.16.05 - This story was removed a while ago though I was never quite sure why, so if it looks familiar, that's why. It is for the most part, exactly the way it used to be (Spelling and grammar errors are fixed is all.)


The Fates speak


Vega: How ironic that we are named the Fates.

Enti: When we are not the ones who determine the fates of the mortals.

Soko: We answer to the universe.

Vega: The universe tells all, yet nothing at all.

Enti: Enough. We are here to tell a story.

Soko: Yes. The story of a goddess.

Enti: Sakura, the goddess of Love.

Vega: (with a small laugh) Love, such a happy emotion.

Soko: And yet the goddess Sakura has led such a sad life.

Vega: We have told the story of all the gods, so that the mortals know their gods. Now it is Sakura's turn to let her life be known.

Enti: She was not always a goddess. She was born a mortal. The world was young then.

Soko: Not all of the gods were born gods. We three traveled far and wide to bring them all to the realm of the Gods.

Enti: The universe told us where to find them. We could feel it in our bones where to go.

Vega: When Sakura was born, we knew.

Soko: We went to her village.

Enti: Her father, Fujitaka, and mother, Nadeshiko, knew we were the Fates.

Vega: They were proud that their daugter was to be a goddess, but her mother was saddened because her daughter would have to leave her.

Enti: We bid her not to worry. We would not come for Sakura until she was grown.

Vega: Until then, they were to raise her like any other girl in the village.

Soko: And not to tell her who she would become.

Enti: Fifteen year past. It was time.

Soko: (shaking her head) Our mistake for waiting that long, but no matter.

Vega: Her parents were reluctant to let her go. That was to be expected. But there was another unforseen obstacle.

Enti: She had a beau, named Gareth. A lover. She was reluctant to leave him.

Soko: But in the end, she left. It really was a touching farewell. Her parents let her go, never knowing whether or not they'd see her again. Gareth let her go, asking her never to forget him.

Enti: Sakura came to the realm of the Gods. Her life begins anew there.

Vega: When she found out she was to be goddess of Love, she was silent. She locked herself away in her house.

Enti: For a week she was like this. She talked to us again.

Soko: She meets Syaoran, the god of Martial Arts.

Vega: Kaiba, god of War.

Enti: Eriol, god of the Day and Night

Soko: And she meets Kaho, goddess of Wisdom

Vega: There are others, but these are her friends.

Enti: We thought she had forgotten Gareth.

Soko: Until Kaiba says he loves her.

Enti: Sakura told him she could not love anymore.

Vega: (mocking tone) "Anymore?" he said, "Who did you love before? How can the goddess of Love be incapable of loving?"

Soko: She ignored him for many years. She told no one of Gareth. When Kaiba bothered her to much, she found refuge in Syaoran's house.

Vega: Syaoran, too, became enchanted with this green-eyed beauty, but was wise and kept his feelings to himself. He also tried to find out why she would not love, but was not successful.

Enti: Kaho and Eriol watched with amusement, intervening only when Kaiba became too militant. Sakura asked that they not interfere until then.

Vega: Sakura learned martial arts from Syaoran. To help defend herself against Kaiba, when he was too forceful.

Soko: A milenia passes. One day, Sakura finds that she can't take Kaiba anymore.

All: And that is where the story really begins.
