Part Four: The Braid Begins to Unravel

"Good morning Sakura-chan!"

Sakura watched happily as her friend Tomoyo ran towards her. The fellow sixteen-year-old hair whipped around her face in the breeze and she wore a large butterfly chip among the black mass of curly-waves. It was a half an hour before school started.

"Hi Tomoyo, why are you so early? I thought you had choir practice this morning?"

"I'm not allowed to skip practice to see my best friend? You're so not fun Sakura," Tomoyo said with a child-like pout.

"Well, it's nice and all Tomoyo-san but…don't you have a big concert in a week? You should be practicing," Sakura said, slightly taken aback.

"I need to practice? You don't know how hard I've been practicing Sakura! How many days I couldn't do my own fun activities because of the stupid choir!" Tomoyo shouted at her friend.

"I- I just thought you liked choir. You've been in it since primary school-"

"I hate it! Oh, you don't know anything about me anymore Sakura! You know why? You've got your thoughts all wrapped around Syaoran! You spend all your time with and none with me!"

Sakura didn't say anything. That hurt. Hot tears snaked down her cheeks and she could feel her skin going red with embarrassment. Not knowing what to do, Sakura ran.

It was the end of the world. Tomoyo would never be her friend again, Syaoran would ask awkward questions…

Slowly pulling a pink tarot card from her coat pocket Sakura shouted, "Fly!" and white wings sprung from her back.

Flying into the park Sakura settled into a tree and sighed. She just needed to get away…

"Sakura! What are you doing here?"

Sakura looked to her left where she saw no one other than Nadeshiko, Sakura's mother.

"Mother!" Sakura felt faint. Her mother couldn't be here, dead people just didn't come alive again?

"Come here Sakura, my darling."

Sakura flew over to her mother and collapsed into her arms, crying harder than ever.

Nedeshiko stroked her daughter's new wings and cried herself.

"Mother, why are you here? Have you seen dad?"

"No, I don't know how I got here, but I'm glad I am here. But more importantly, why are you here Sakura? Aren't you supposed to be in school?"

Sakura told her mother about her fight with Tomoyo, whom Nadeshiko didn't know in the first place but could tell that a fight between the girls had been a big ordeal.

"Honey…don't worry. Tomoyo's probably a little bit jealous. Now I don't know the girl, but does she have a boyfriend like you do?"

"No. Tomoyo doesn't want one. She's never said it to me before but I know she hates being the only girl in our grade."

"Then, there you have it. Maybe you shouldn't talk about Syaoran so much if that's the case then," Nadeshiko said softly and tipped her head to the side.

"How, how did you know Syaoran…?"

Nadeshiko smiled and suddenly Sakura's vision began to blur, her mother seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her.

"Mother!…."

"MISS KINOMOTO-SAN!"

Sakura sat straight up. Her classmates were talking noisily and pointing at Sakura.

"Oh, please excuse me Sensei…I must have dosed off."

"Hmmph," said the teacher and continued with her lesson.

Sakura looked around confusedly. Beside her Tomoyo had her face turned away and her smile had disappeared into a grimace.

Syaoran sat before her and had turned around the talk to her.

"You okay? I've been watching, you've been asleep for a while now. Were you dreaming about your Mom? You kept saying "Mother, mother!""

"I'm okay. Thanks for the concern Syaoran-sama."

Later…

The final school bell and students rushed from the school. Sakura had noticed that Tomoyo had not even glanced at her all day. For that she was kind of thankful, she might have broken out in tears again.

Sakura saw her boyfriend from across the school sports field. He was talking with another girl. Sakura didn't know who she was.

"Syaoran! Hi."

"Oh, hi Sakura. This is Reiko, Reiko, this is my girlfriend Sakura."

"Girlfriend? How nice," Reiko said, her eyes lighting up with the sound of the name.

Sakura studies the girl curiously. She had long, pale green hair and bright golden eyes that made her look cat-like. Covering most of her strangely coloured hair was a white scarf.

"What school do you go to Reiko? I haven't seen you here before," Sakura asked, trying to mask the suspicion.

"Oh, I do not go to public school. My master…er my older brother teaches me. He has graduated already."

"Oh, lovely. Well, I guess we muse be going Syaoran right? We're going to the mall to look at a dress for the school dance," Sakura said quickly grasping Syaoran's upper arm.

"Yeah, dress, dance, us," Syaoran said awkwardly as they walked away from the strange girl. Syaoran couldn't keep his eyes off her.

Author's Note: Concerning Tomoyo, in this story Tomoyo is very reclusive and angry a lot. This is because she is jealous of Sakura and Syaoran's love for each other. She's never really had any feelings for Syaoran but since her best friend and Syaoran got together, she began to crave that which she could not have. All in all, Tomoyo doesn't really have a big part in this story. Sorry all Tomoyo fans! 0.o
