Chapter 5: Good-bye Angel
The birds flew around the artificial rainforest, the sun was shinning brightly.
Sakura squinted into the sunlight, as she looked up to the tall trees.
A tiny little angel perched excitedly on the brunette's shoulder, her faced flushed with excitement. Beside the girl and the angel, stood a boy with chestnut brown hair and shiny amber eyes.
"Good thing we still came," the boy said, smiling, "and there was someone was saying something about not being able to come…"
Sakura looked down in embarrassment, "ah, I'm sorry…" Her short honey coloured hair shone in the bright sunlight, her emerald orbs dancing.
Without her knowing, Angel had slid down Sakura's arm and landed on the floor. She looked around curiously before fluttering off.
"Well then," Syaoran said suddenly, grabbing on to her hand and pulling her away, "let's go! There's a very pretty flower over there!"
Sakura glanced at their linked hands and blushed deeply.
Only for now… Staying with Syaoran only for now, should be fine, right, Tomoyo?
Angel observed her surroundings with interest, whipping her head back and forth, sending locks of hair flying behind her.
While standing on a piece of leaf, she noticed some birds staring at her intensely.
Come here, the creatures said, you have to think carefully… why… did you come to this world…?
Sakura walked a little behind Syaoran, her head down. She suddenly tripped over her foot and was caught by the boy.
"Watch it!" he exclaimed, leaning in to her petite body, "are you alright?"
The girl, suddenly aware at how close their faces were, remembered what the girl before at school had said.
What about Tomoyo's feelings!
I cannot like Syaoran…? She thought silently to herself as she turned away.
Walking away slowly she said, "Oh, yeah! Didn't you and Tomoyo come here before? She always said that it was a beautiful place and she just have to go."
But then three days later… because of a car accident, she had lost her life…
"… Here…was where I broke up with Tomoyo."
"Eh?" Sakura whipped around and stared in disbelief.
"When Tomoyo said she wanted to go out with me, I told her about the flower in my locker. And when she heard this, she said it was her... who placed it there…" Syaoran said quietly, his face grave.
"But I knew immediately that it was a lie." He paused and looked away.
"But then I thought that it's nothing bad dating her so I agreed. But I cannot forget the girl who placed the lavenders in my locker. When I told her that…" he stopped, "she said nothing."
But then three days later…
"I was thinking that the one who put the flower there was you… Sakura."
Sakura was stunned, "I…I…"
Syaoran had always…
"Eh?" she said suddenly, "this feeling… it can't be…"
She looked at her bad quickly and exclaimed in shock, "Angel is gone!"
"What!"
"What should we do?" Sakura asked, frantically, her hand covering her mouth, "what if the bigger birds attacks her!"
"Let's go around and find her then!" Syaoran replied.
Angel!
Angel!
Please be alright!
"She's not here…" the amber eyed boy said.
I…
"It's all my fault… it's all because of me that…" she buried her face into her hands.
I still shouldn't like Syaoran after all…
"Sakura…" a soft voice said softly, "Sakura, thanks for taking care of me."
Looking up, they saw angel sitting in the treetops. Her body was no longer tiny, but the size of a normal girl. Her small wings now flared out impressively around her.
"Angel…" Sakura started.
Eh? That's not Angel… That's…
"To…moyo…"
"Tomoyo!" Syaoran cried, running forward, closer to the tree.
"You finally recognized me!" the angel—no Tomoyo said, giggling.
"I…have always like Syaoran," she said, "even when I that Sakura always liked him too secretly; I pretended that I didn't know."
"Don't worry about me," she smiled, looking at Syaoran before turning to face Sakura, "Sakura too."
Smiling happily, while crystal tears rolled down her delicate face she said. "I wish you two…forever happiness!"
"To…moyo" Sakura whispered, tears falling down her cheeks as well as she watched her best friend slowly disappear into the sky.
"I…can finally return to the place where I belong."
I can almost see the innocent face of the little, tiny angel in my eyes… it's all a dream.
But…
Sakura stretched tiredly as she prepared to leave the school, she saw a familiar pair of amber eyes waiting for her at the front of the school.
The dream that Angel had brought me…
Syaoran grabbed her hand gently and Sakura leaned towards him happily.
I will treasure it… forever.
Finally! It's finished! Even thought it was only 5 chapters! It was actually meant as a one-shot but I decided that writing it into chapters is more meaningful. Oh, and one more very important thing! This story plot is NOT MINE. I repeat, NOT MINE. I actually got this story plot from one of the many comic books I own, and this is one of the short stories an author drew. So please do not give me any credits for this story and I'm very, very sorry I am saying this now and not at the beginning. I hoped you enjoy this short little story, because I know I did! Please review and thank-you for all those awesome readers and reviewers who stuck by me through the whole story! THANK-YOU ALL!
