Meeting with the head angel

All syaoron could do was keep his head down as he awaited punishment from his master. The dark haired angel looked down on Syaoron with stern and sympethetic eyes. By his side was Yue, who just looked down at him with disgust. Ashamed that a fellow angel would commit such a crime. He expected it from the humans they have sworn to protect, not an angel. Angels were far greater beings to resort to such lewd acts.
Syaoron foled his wings and tryed to remain calm."You wanted to see me?" He couldn't bear to look his master in the eyes, knowing the dissapointment that he himself had placed there.
"Yes, Li Syaoron, you have claimed the life of a mortal under your charge, do you deny it?" He took a deep breath and looked into his masters eyes. His master seeing the fear clearly in his eyes. A thought suddenly pained him as he was about to answer. ' This is it, I'll never see her again.' He looked into the head angels eyes, "No, I don not deny it. I was simply following my orders."
"Your orders! Your orders were not to kill the girls parents!" Yue shouted loudly. The head angel raised his hand o quiet the angered angel. "was he truly going to harm the girl?" Syaoron looked his master in the eyes, without hesitation." Yes, he was. As you told me, protect her. And that I did. I apologize that it resulted in the death of that mortal. No matter how sick and vile he was." The head angel remained silent, eyes fixated on the emotional angel. " I watched as she was constantly beaten, put down, stepped on, and was able to do nothing. I was not about to watch him steal her soul. Even through all the heartahe she has been through, she canstill smile and have hope in her eyes. If I would have allowed that man to hurt her, that hope would dissapear and she would be no more then an empty shell." All the anger he felt, all the fear that she felt, he could hold back no longer. He felt hot tears stream down his face.
"I am sorry that he died, but I am not sorry that I did it to protect her. That I would do again in a heartbeat." The angel bent down and placed his hands on the young angels shoulders. He gently wiped a falling tear fron the angels eye.
"Well, i cannot punish you for following a direct order, now can I?" Yue and Syaoron both looked at thier master with shock. Yue's shock then turned to anger. "But master," "Yue, he was protecting the girl. It is an unfortunate circumstance that cannot be changed. As long as the girl is safe, I feel that this matter has been resolved. Syaoron, you may go now." The brown haired angel arose, bowed an took his leave.
Yue turned to his master, anger and impatience surfacing in his voice. " Master, he deserved to be bannished, his wings clipped, his actions were uncalled for. The girl was not in a life or death situation! He had no right-" "Please Yue, trust me. Besides, I talked to Karan. She told me that the man was going to die in a car crash the next day. He would have died either way. "Yues face softened towards his masters. The angel who had found him in the gutters down on earth. He was his masters charge. When he died, the master took him under his wing, literally and gave him divine immortality. For that, Yue thanked him by serving right beside him. He took heed to what hi master was telling him. He would let the matter go...for now.

Back on earth

Call it divine intervention, or luck, but after the death of her foster father, she was placed with yet another family. This one however she had come to call home. Shiro and Michiru Sohma and thier daughter Meiling, welcomed Sakura the newest member into thier family. Syaoron wondered if maybe his master had something to do with it. Then came to the conclusion that this family just fell in love with her. Just as he had. It took him almost losing her, to look into his heart to see what was there all along. He had fallen in love with her the moment he looked into those emerald eyes. It pained him knowing that he will spend the rest of her life watching her, and never be able to hold her. As he watched her sleep each night the thought caused him to cry inside and out.

Year 17

"Sakura! Come on lazy bones! Get out of bed...SAKURA!" The raven haired girl shook her sister violently. Forcing her to wake up. "I'm up Meiling, I'm up. Geez! Can't a girl get any sleep round here!" Right as Sakura laid back down and covered her head with her blanket, Meiling grabbed the pillow from undernethe her and whacked her with it. "Baka Sakura!" The sleepy girl took her other pillow and hit the raven haired girl. The two girls laughed hysterically as the pummeled eachother.

Later that morning

Sakura stood in front of the mirror, trying to decide what to dop with her hair. Her short brown hair had grown quite long, passing the small of her back as it curled. Her body was long and slender, her skin bright and healthy. She had grown into a beautiful young woman, just as Syaoron had seen many years ago.
He would watch her, dumbfounded, to him everyday she grew more beautiful. The past four years went by like a blur. Sakura was now in high school, where she was one of the top students in her class. Admired and loved by all. Every morning, sometimes even twice a day, she would open her locker and a flood of letters would fall at her feet. She never threw away a single one. She would answer them simply telling her suitors that she was flattered, but had to refuse. That at the time, she was more interested in her studies and had no time to pursue relationships.
Deep down however, she was waiting for something, rather someone. She didn't know who, but she knew that she would know as soon as she met him. Ever since she was young, that secret wish kept her going, kept her beliving. A girls dream of love is a powerful thing.
Syaoron followed her to school daily, watching her. Everytime her gaze met his, he would think that maybe she saw him, but he knew inside that it was just wishful thinking.

A life short lived

This was the first time since the incident happened that the master called for him. He wondered to himself as he stood in a grand hall, covered in drapes of red velvet. ahis focus slowly drifted to a large mural painted on to the wall. They were angels who had either choosen to retire and be reborn as a mortal on earth, or had fallen for whatever reason was their own. He thought to himself if he'd ever have a place onthat wall. The thought both saddened and joy to him. He didn't notice that Yue had come.
"Li Syaoron, the master wishes to see you now." Syaoron walked to enter the door, he was suddenly stopped by Yue."Don't think that I haven't been watching you through the dreaming pool." Syaoron looked to him, eyes hard as he walked past him. The master was sitting in his favorite chair that was right in front of a well lit fire place. Syaoron bowed down as Yue announced him. The master smiled down on Syaoron.
"Li Syaoron, in a month and five days on her eighteenth birthday, Sakura Kinomoto will meet her death." Syaoron could do nothing or say nothing. All he could do was stand there trying to make sense of what he just heard. ' What is going on, is he serious! ' His master stood looking at the young angel, waiting for his reaction. Syaoron felt the tears swelling up in his eyes, his fist balled up resisting the temptation to grab his master and force him to take back everthing he had just said. But he knew that this was a special case, and things like this were bound to happen. He just didn't think it would be so soon.
"What is your wish master..." his calm voice not only surprised his master, but himself. "The girls one and only wish is to find true love. We already have a canadite in mind. Once her wish is fufilled, she will find her fate." He looked at the angel, whos head was bent, hiding the emotion in his eyes. " Do you think that you can handel this, or shall I send Yue?" Syaoron looked up, hoping that his master didn't see the breaking of his heart and the flame that was slowly consuming his soul. "No, she is my charge. I will finish my duty." He bowed and turned to leave. The tears were about to defeat him as he came to Yue, who was waiting for him by the doors. "Don't do anything stupid." He walked past the silver haired angel. Pain, hurt, hate burning in his eyes. He made the decision then and there, as he gazed upon the mural one last time. He lifted his arms and flew back to earth.
