Tears Of True Love

Chapter 02 – Sakura, The Wingless Angel

Sakura's eyes fluttered open. She lay on a bed, or maybe a couch, she couldn't tell. Whatever it was, it wasn't the floor, so that was a good sign. She slowly sat up, noticing it was a bed. "Oh, you're up." Sakura turned, and sure enough, sitting in the corner of the room in a small armchair was the boy from the council earlier. 'What was he doing over there? What if he was… eww! Gross! Bad thought, bad bad thouth...' "Umm… and you are hear because…" Sakura said. The boy smiled. "To show you around. My grandpa said when someone faints, it's not a good sign."

Sakura looked at the kid. He was clearly her age, if not a year or two more. His hair was a deep brown, laid messily on the top of his head. He wore a simple pair of jeans and a dark green t-shirt. 'Not much of an angel… except for the who wing thing.' He had a large pair of wings portraying from his back. 'Yup, defiantly something going on. Maybe I really am…'

"Come on." The boy called. He had already walked over to the door. "We have some things to see." Sakura quickly got out of bed and fallowed him. Suddenly, Sakura gasped. Outside was, well, lets just say, heaven. Everything seemed to shine. There was not one cloud in the sky, maybe that's because they were all under their feet. Really, heaven looked a lot like Earth, just more breathtaking. Everything seemed so pure, so youthful. Sakura suddenly giggled. 'Youthful. God, even when I'm dead, Lee seems to haunt my thoughts with his stupid talks. Well, maybe they weren't all that stupid. I guess he was right…'

The boy turned to her after hearing her small laugh. She turned to him, "Oh, sorry. Just… thinking." The boy shrugged, and began walking down the perfectly made street ways, which were only inhabited with people on foot: no cars, no buses, no nothing. He began pointing out many different things. Turns out, heaven is a lot like Earth. It had ice-cream shops, grocery stores, malls, gyms, and parks, even real-estate agencies. "So, pretty much, an after life?" Sakura said. The boy nodded. "Sort of. But, no one really fights up here. It's just too…" "Peaceful." Sakura cut off. It was true. The place just had something about it that seemed to take away all anger, all hate.

"Oh, by the way, my name is Tadashi." The boy said, smiling. "And you?" Sakura smiled. "Sakura Haruno."

The day went by, and the two grew closer. They learned a lot about the other, and they became very good friends. Suddenly, something caught Sakura's eye. She suddenly stopped, turning to a display from a shop. Really, she didn't care for the lamps inside the window; she wasn't really looking at them anyway. She was looking at her reflection. She wore her normal red dress with a small slit down the side, for maximum movement. She looked the exact same as she did when she was alive. Yes, at first, that seems pretty normal, but Sakura was trained to pick up detail. "Why don't I have any wings?" she asked. Everyone had wings; Tadashi, the Gods, everyone on the streets, but she didn't.

Tadashi turned to her, "Well, really you're not dead." Sakura glared at him. "What! Then why am I here?" Tadashi sighed, and then continued. "Well, your body is in a coma at the moment, and it doesn't seem like your coming out. The only time people will come here without being dead will be if your in a coma, and going to die. So, really, you aren't dead, but when you do, you'll get your wings." Sakura nodded, soaking in this information. "Ok… wow, heaven has a bunch of confusing rules!" Tadashi laughed.

Soon, the day was ending, so Tadashi took Sakura to a small house on a side street, leading away from the city. "This will be your house, and if you want, you can buy another, when you make enough. So, this is officially yours. Enjoy!" Sakura smiled. "See you tomorrow?" she asked, just about to walk inside. "Tomorrow." Tadashi smiled, and then he walked away just as Sakura shut the door behind her.

She laid herself over the bed, extremely tired from the day's excitement. "So, I'm dead. Great!" she sighed. Immediately, she fell asleep.


Sakura: Wait, so I'm dead, but then again... I'm not?

Dani: Pretty much.

Sakura: Ok… urg! Confused!

Dani: Just go along with it. It doesn't really matter.

Sakura: And who is this Tadashi?

Dani: Your new best friend

Sakura: Oh, no boyfriend? He's cute…

Dani: No. Are you totally forgetting about Sasuke?

Sakura: Sasuke who?

Sasuke: Hey!

Sakura: Just kidding! But come on, I'm dead… sort of…

Dani: Just wait, ok. Don't jump on Tadashi so soon.

Sakura: Humph…
