Recap
"So I guess I'll see you later." She said smiling.
"Ya. Later." He said nodding a little.
"Bye!" Sakura said waving a little bit.
"My name is Syaoran!" Yelled the boy.
Sakura swung around and saw him smile warmly at her and start to walk to the Li mansion.
Syaoran…
Sakura smiled.
Syaoran.
-----------------------------
Sakura got 'home' slowly. She couldn't believe he told her his name.
She placed the bags gently on the ground.
"I didn't notice that I got so much stuff." Sakura said to herself as she started putting things away in a small cabinet.
Maybe I should have brought furniture. No… too much money. I spent almost all of it. I only have $12. 32 left. Wow! I must have spent a fortune!
Sakura silently scolded herself for her horrible management.
"Well at least I'll have a good night rest to get my minds off of things." Sakura said smiling to herself.
Little did she know, her mind has just begun.
-------------
Sakura ran and ran. She didn't know why she was running. She hears the same snickering of the bad boys. She also ran into something.
Sakura opened her eyes to be greeted with Syaoran holding her tight, yelling to the guys.
All Sakura wants to do is melt. Melt into his arms. But Sakura's dream self was mean and ripped from Syaoran's grasp. He looked down at her than started shouting at her. She began to run again. She ran till she could run no more. Syaoran finally grabbed her and told her one thing, "DIE!"
---------
Sakura sat up with a start. She breathed slowly trying to regain herself.
Sakura looked at her crowded room, filled with bags.
I don't feel like putting things away. I'd rather… do what?
Today Sakura had all day to herself. Usually she read or slept more. But today all she wanted to do was see… Syaoran.
Sakura slowly trailed out of bed, managing to fall over her shoes.
Sakura looked through the bags until she found a granola bar and decided she was going for a walk.
Sakura slipped on shorts and a tank top with a sweater.
Might as well go jogging.
Sakura didn't like the way her heart jumped when she saw a figure following her.
She almost turned around but it wasn't necessary because the figure jogged past Sakura.
Sakura let out a sigh.
"What are you so down for?" The now-to-familiar voice said behind her.
Sakura turned around and smiled lightly at him.
"Good morning, um…" She wasn't sure if she could call him by his fist name.
"Syaoran. You already forgot?" He said teasingly. His eyes smiled, making Sakura turn away.
"No I haven't." Sakura whispered.
Why am I getting shy? He's just a regular guy.
"Will you accompany me to get my car?" He asked walking up to her.
Sakura nodded. Sakura started feeling desperate to be near him.
It took a while to get to the market.
But once they got there, Syaoran led Sakura to the car.
It was a nice car. It looked really expensive.
"Do you like it?" Syaoran asked as he drove out of the parking spot.
"It's nice." Sakura said looking straight forward.
"Nice." Syaoran repeated.
"Why do you live alone?" Asked Syaoran turning to glance at Sakura.
"Um… well… I don't… my mom… she died." Sakura hesitated.
"Oh. I'm sorry." Syaoran whispered.
Sakura stayed silent.
I have so many questions to ask, but I don't want to seem rude…
"Invisible… People don't notice you much?" Asked Syaoran politely.
"No. I don't get out much." Sakura whispered.
"Hm."
"Do you… I have a question to ask you…" Sakura whispered.
"Shoot." Syaoran replied.
"Um, are you related to Yelen?"
Syaoran drives in silence.
Sakura shifts uncomfortably in her seat.
"Yea. Yelen is my mother. Or lack there of." He said mostly to himself.
"Oh. Did I thank you for saving me?" Sakura asked wanting to change the mood.
Syaoran chuckled. "Yea."
He parked his car in the Li mansion garage.
"There, all set. How about I walk you to your house?" He asked turning to Sakura.
"No thank you. I prefer to walk to my house alone." Sakura mumbled.
"Oh all right. Suite yourself." He sighed.
Sakura knew she should move, but she stayed put.
"Will you like to come in?" Syaoran asked not turning to look at her.
"No thank you. I best be going." Sakura made a move to leave but she felt something grab her hand.
Sakura turned around and saw Syaoran looking straight into her eyes.
"You're beautiful." He whispered moving closer.
Sakura could feel her cheeks getting warm.
He moved closer but Sakura moved back.
He stared at her locking eyes once more.
Something doesn't feel right…
Sakura moved the door handle around but nothing happened.
"Hm, can't get out? Well I guess you'll have no way to escape." He smirked. A dreadful smirk it was.
Sakura franticly yanked and pulled at the door handle but it did not move.
"Please leave me alone!" Yelled Sakura waving her hands franticly around.
"HA!" Syaoran laughed and his hand grabbed her throat. He squeezed hard.
"S-stop! Please!" Sakura spat out.
"No way!" Yelled Syaoran. His handsome face started turning into something else. Something horrifying enough to make Sakura scream bloody murder.
-------------------------
Sakura sat up screaming.
It was just a dream… A horrifying dream… Sakura felt her throat tighten.
She took deep breaths to calm her nerves.
Calm down, Sakura. It was just a nightmare. Nothing more.
Sakura looked down and noticed her shoes were the same way as they were when she tripped over them. Sakura's breathing became shallow and it started to get hard to breathe.
"Ok… Maybe I tripped on them on accident last night. Ya, that's it!" Sakura said trying to make herself believe her lie.
"Ok… maybe I'm still dreaming! Yes, that's it! I'm still dreaming and when I wake up it'll all be the same as it should be." Sakura resolved as she lay her head back down on the soft pillow and closed her eyes.
And just like she thought, she actually did wake up a few moments later.
Sakura looked over at her shoes and noticed they were neatly set, ready to be used. Sakura breathed a sigh of relief.
"What should I do today?" Sakura mumbled to herself as she fumbled with her dresser door, trying to pick out an outfit for the day.
Sakura reasoned with a cream colored dress, she faintly remembered the look of it on someone else but pushed the thought away.
She took a peek at the clock and it read, 12:36 p.m.
"Alright, today I will read a book! Oh good thing I brought that book yesterday." Sakura exclaimed as she searched through the bags and finally found it.
The book was different from any other book. It was a fairy tale book with a different hint to it from most.
Sakura smiled as she remembered how she heard of the book.
Flashback
Three year old, Sakura giggled as she stole a peek through a crack of her folded hands that were on her dainty face.
"No peeking, Sakura! You must not peek!" Nadeshiko, her mother, said as she fumbled with something Sakura could not see.
"I'm not mommy!" Sakura said as she stopped her peeking and giggled once more.
"Alright, you can open your eyes now, Sakura!" Nadeshiko said with excitement in her eyes.
Sakura opened her eyes and smiled with joy. Her mother had made a dress just for her.
"Mommy, I love it!" Sakura giggled as she gently touched the silk with her fingertips.
Nadeshiko smiled and touched her daughters head. "I love you."
Sakura looked back at her mother and noticed she was wearing the most beautiful cream colored dress that was gently swaying in the light breeze. It was the same dress Sakura was wearing now!
"Sakura, when you're older, I want you to read a book. It's about a sweet girl who goes through hard ships. Promise me you'll read it." Nadeshiko said as she helped Sakura put on the silky dress.
"Ok momma. What's the book called?" Little Sakura asked as she tried to button her dress but her little hands were too tiny.
"Journey of a Young flower." Nadeshiko answered simply.
------------
Sakura snapped out of memory lane. She looked around and noticed she was in her 'home'.
Sakura looked down at her dress and smiled. She still had a part of her mother with her besides another outfit she was still too small to fit in.
Sakura, instead of reading the book, laid it down on her bed, and fished out another book.
It wasn't even a word book. It was a blank book. It wasn't a diary, it was like one of those books you write a story in. So Sakura took out the pink colored pen that came with it and opened the book.
The smell of lilacs washed over the whole room, making Sakura, again, think of her mother.
"Well, let's begin, shall we?" Sakura said to the book.
She cleared off the table and placed the book down. She sat down in the hard-as-wood chair and began to write.
