Disclaimer: Nope not mine sorry
I couldn't help but cry as I danced. I knew why but I couldn't admit it to myself. My solo was nearing its end and I wanted to pick
up the pace but I didn't. Something felt weird and the feeling that someone was dancing near me couldn't be avoided. I looked to the
side and saw no one there but then I could smell flowers and smiled. I knew who it was.

5 years later
I walked home supporting a small limp. It was dark out maybe around midnight. As I entered the house I sighed. I made it home. I could
hear screaming upstairs but decided to go up anyways. There was Touya and at my sight he seemed relieved. He came to me and
hugged me tightly. If you looked at me closely you could see no emotion in my yes. This had happened too many times. I began to
speak,
"Touya why don't you go to bed I know you're tired honey"
I said this in the best maternal voice I could muster.
"Yes mom" he said whispering and left to go to his room and I went to mine.
I sat at my bed and heard its small creaking sound as I sat on it. Soon I would buy a new one for me.
I looked at my bandaged feet and saw it was beginning to swell and small blood drops adorned it. I disregarded it and began cleaning
my wounds and trying to stop the swelling. I sighed again. I had done this for so long.
--------------------------------------------------------
I woke up and looked outside through the window. It seemed to be around seven. SEVEN!!!??
"I'm LATE!!!" could be heard around the neighborhood and many just smiled and shook their head. I put on my outfit (kind of
ballerina out fit without tutu. Leotard I think it's called, right?) and ran downstairs. I saw Touya smirk at me and I smiled but then I
heard him call me kaijuu and tried to stomp on his feet but missed and it hurt! Touya screamed at me to get my breakfast and lunch
but despite my protests he made me. I scarfed it down and took the lunch and left home running. I smiled. He was always better in
the morning.
---------------------------------------------------------
"YOU"RE LATE" I heard an ominous voice say. I stiffened up and turned around slowly. It was Master Kero and I became relieved. If
Master Yue was teaching today I would be in for it. He would ignore me and I'd have to practice without help. But then I began to
think it over as Kero began to demand for retribution. "GET ME SWEETS!" So childish and there goes my wallet.
"Hai"
Secretly I smiled though. I loved this part of the day. I could see others dancing and I would work hard. I could hear whispers of
excitement and I could just speak my mind. The time before the actual dancing was so exciting. I put on my shoes and began
practicing. I blocked everything out and to say the truth it wasn't hard to do. I always got an adrenaline rush from it and I heard more
than once that my dancing excluded certain airs depending on my mood. I thought it was stupid though. But if I could do that wouldn't
it be cool I told myself. But then I was done dancing and looked around. Everyone was gone. All the girls that were practicing were
gone. Master Kero entered the studio and surprised at seeing me told me to go to the ball room.
"Why?" I asked curiously
"Eriol is here with some guests."
"Then I'm not needed. I see Eriol all the time."
"Eriol wants you there. The two guests are some friends and he has an announcement."
"Okay" I said and tied up my hair. It was getting pretty long; it was past my shoulders an up to my lower back. It was in a pony tail
and as soon as I was done I looked at Kero and said,
"Would you escort me?"
And Kero smiled and I thought to myself, if only I could always be happy.
----------------------------------------------------
All the girls were chatting excitedly and I couldn't help but join in the conversation. Apparently two famous dancers were hear and one
of them was a singer, a really pretty one apparently. Then I stood up and walked away. Naoko asked me what was wrong and I said,
"Umm I have to go somewhere"
I walked to the restroom and looked at the mirror. I was right! Eriol was going to do something mischievous. I saw that look he gave
me. I saw a few strands of my hair fall out and I took my hair and put it into a bun. Then my ears exploded. I heard someone scream
kawaii and I turned around only to see a delicate looking girl with starry eyes. She came up tome and grabbed my hands and asked
my name
Sakura" I said shyly. She was really pretty
'Mine is tomoyo and I'm glad to meet you sakura. Can we be friends?"
I was shocked. That was so straight forward that I couldn't help but smile. I nodded. Then we heard someone call out for us two.
Tomoyo smiled and said" seems they figured out that I was gone oh well. Shall we go?" I couldn't help the warm feeling inside of me
at seeing her smile. I thought we could be really good friends. And so we left and as soon as we did we Saw that it was dim and
someone was dancing. The music was low and soon became upbeat. I stared at that figure and tomoyo spoke, taking me out of my
daze.
"good isn't he. He's my partner"
"No" I said absent minded
"No?" she said a little shocked
"Well its good its just... he's like a puppet. He doesn't want to dance does he?"
tomoyo seemed shocked but smiled and spoke,
"You're right. But most people don't notice, right Eriol?"
Eriol? I looked around and saw him behind us. How'd she know?
"Ever observant aren't we tomoyo?" he said in a soft voice I'd never heard him speak in
"no I just saw you as we left the restroom" she said laughing some
Eriol shook his head and smiled and spoke again
"so you've met sakura huh?"
"Yep"
The lights then went up; the music came to a conclusion and the man walked towards us.
He was handsome and had beautiful amber eyes; also he had a muscular body. His eyes directed towards me and he smirked. My heart began racing.
"Syaoran, this is sakura" said tomoyo but by then I was dazed out. Eriol smirked. He knew what was going to happen. I held out my
hand to him and he seemed surprised but then smirked. This sort of began infuriating me but I spoke,
"Stop. I have a proposal. I f you want happiness while dancing I'll show you and we'll who's better."
"What? Why?" He seemed truly shocked.
"Because you're so sad."
He became infuriated, "what?"
"I'll show you" And I went on the stage and danced.
Tomoyo looked at her strangely.
"What just happened here?"
"She can't help it. She gets so excited at the prospect of a challenge she sort of zones out and barely remembers a word she said."
Tomoyo nodded, a little bit excited and looked to where Syaoran was.
"Syaoran loves challenges too."
He was on stage. dancing along side her and for the first time in a while a determined look was on his face. He loved challenges.
