Chapter 1

She was lying on something soft and springy. Something that definitely wasn't her bed-that was her first coherent thought. The second thought was that the feelings- of panic, of uncertainty-were gone. As she was drawn back into consciousness, she sat up and wiped the sleep from her eyes, looking around.

She didn't know where she was.

Well, she could see where she was; she just didn't know where she was. From what she could see she was in the middle of a room of which she was the only occupant. Fog rolled around her feet, licking at her ankles, which lead her to, realize that what she was standing on, the soft and springy surface…was clouds. The only light in the room was shining directly in her eyes. Somehow, intuitively she knew she was dreaming and yet, it felt so real. She ran her fingers through her pink hair and spoke at the presence that she sensed just in the darkness beyond her vision.

"Umm…" she started "Did you know that the whole 'shining the light on the person in the middle of the room' is highly overdone?" She heard a snort and it turned into a dry laugh. "You're spunky. Makes me sorry for what we did."

That voice sounded so familiar.

"Miss…Fae?" Her substitute teacher stepped forward from the shadows, her brown hair shining in the light. "Oh please don't call me that. The only person I can abide calling me that is my sister. Call me my name, Fate."

Sakura narrowed her green eyes. "Fate? This…this is a joke right… or a dream?" The woman shook her head. "Nope. No joke. And not a dream either." "Ah." Said Sakura, confused. "You said before that you guys did something…first of all who's 'we' and second of all what did you do."

"Ok." Fate laughed nervously. "First of all, let me call my sister. DESSY!" "Yeah, I'm coming Fae." Said a petite sounding voice. "I told you not to call me that Dessy." Said the woman called Fate, annoyed. Abruptly, right beside Fate, appeared a younger girl dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a halter-top. She was blonde and her hair was cropped close to her chin, blue eyes glittering. "Hey…you must be Haruno Sakura. My name is Destiny." Sakura shook her head. "Fate and Destiny…are you joking?"

"When we were old enough to comprehend, that's exactly what I asked my mother." Destiny rolled her eyes, making Sakura think that she was the younger of the two. "Anyways, have you told her yet?"

Fate shook her head. "Nope. I was waiting for you." Destiny rolled her eyes again, this time at her sister and saying "Coward."

She turned to Sakura and said, "We are Fate and Destiny. We control everyone's…creatively enough, fate and destiny…she writes people's fates, I write people's destinies and we always work together, other wise everything is messed up." 'Okay…' thought Sakura. "And why am I being told this?"

"Well…when we were supposed to be writing you're fate and destiny…. We were kinda…in a fight." Said Fate carefully. "I mean, we are siblings after all, so fighting happens. Not often but it happens. Anyways we were in a fight, I forget the reason now…"

"Fae we were in a fight because you stole my boyfriend." "Dessy…don't start. He told me it was over." Dessy snorted. "We were but we were still technically together. It's the principle of the thing."

"Just curious…" broke in Sakura "But who did you two fight over?" Fae glanced over "Justin Time." Sakura sweat dropped. "You've got to be kidding me."

"Anyways, since we were in this fight during the time when we were supposed to write your fate and destiny, we didn't talk to each other. Someone…" she hissed, looking towards Fate "Was too stubborn to even exchange e-mail. And since we didn't talk to each other when we were in the middle of writing…they don't, shall we say, flow together?" said Destiny, almost as a question.

"Yes. Destiny and fate are always supposed to be the same…that's why we write together. But since we weren't speaking what is fated to happen to you and what is destined to happen to you are completely different."

Sakura wrinkled her forehead. "I'm not sure I understand." Destiny rubbed the back of her head and said slowly "Well I'm not exactly sure how to put it so that you would…comprehend…Fate is what is going to happen to you and destiny is what is supposed to happen to you. Fae, can you tell her her fate please?"

Fate closed her eyes. "The fate of Haruno Sakura" she droned in a monotone voice, opening her eyes, revealing expressionless hazy orbs. "The fate of Haruno Sakura is to live out her life in this place in time, the 21st century. She will never find the one she is meant for, and will have to make due with the love of her friends and immediate family. She will live a long life, but it will be unexciting and lonely."

Sakura's eyes widened. "No…I don't want that! That's a fate I wouldn't wish on anyone…I've always dreamed of finding that one person who's right for me and now you tell me I'm not going to?"

Fate blinked and her eyes returned too normal. "Now see that's the problem. You not only have a soul mate, you're supposed to find him. Dessy, please tell this girl her destiny they way you have it."

Destiny, respectively, closed her eyes. "The destiny of Haruno Sakura…" she said monotonously. Similar to when Fate recited, she opened her eyes and they were expressionless and hazy. "She is destined to live through a great trauma but this trauma will bring her her love. With him, she shall live happily for many years."

"Well I must say that destiny sounds better…it's always like that in the movies, all that 'destiny' crap. So why are you telling me this?"

"Ok. First of all, in the movies I'm way over romanticized. Most of the time, to make destiny work some rules of nature have to be twisted. Secondly…you know how you've always felt like something's missing? Something has been. Your fate and destiny take place in different times. As such, your soul mate was born about 112 years ago. Fae you take over."

"Yes, Dessy is right. He was born 112 years ago…but he died 94 years ago. 94 years ago…by this point, 94 years ago today. On April 15th 1912. In the middle of the North Atlantic."

Fate waited for this to sink into Sakura's consciousness. "Oh my God…" whispered the pink haired girl, sinking down to the cloudy floor. "He died on the Titanic."

Dessy nodded. "That's the reason you go through those attacks every year. Your soul mate went through something traumatic and because you're not connected physically you feel him emotionally. And I think that's also the reason that you have such a fascination with that ship and all the events surrounding it."

Sakura ran a hand through her hair and clenched a handful. "So…. what now? Do I wake up and go through the rest of my life, knowing that I'll never meet my soul mate and knowing exactly why? That's a life I wouldn't wish on anyone."

Destiny exchanged a glance with Fate and stepped forward, placing a hand on Sakura's shoulder. "Sakura we wouldn't do that to anyone." She said quietly. "We came to offer you a choice."

Fate picked up where Destiny left off. "If you want, you can chose what would've happened if we hadn't intervened. You will live the rest of your life, as fate has designed it."

"Or…" said Destiny "You can choose this other one…Fate and I will use our powers and change destiny-we need both of us to change one. We will send you back to 1912, about a day before the Titanic sailed, as a lady of high rank. You will be a passenger on the ocean liner and you will have from the time you set sail, until the last possible moment before it sinks…

To save his life."
