Black Rose and a Raven Feather
The night was cold
A mysterious hooded figure clad in black
Slipped through the darkness unnoticed
His movements were stealthy
Intentions good
Mind set on love
As he reached the house
He slipped through yard
Around the back
To the cherry blossoms window
There he laid a single black rose
Dark as the night
Next a raven feather
Glossy as the stars above
A white note rested on top
Sunlight came through Sakura's window, and cast a warm glow on the sleeping girl. She stirred and groggily opened her eyes, stretching her arms she sat up in bed. The cherry blossom blinked and rubbed her tired eyes and glanced around her room. Something black resting on her windowsill caught her eye, she squealed happily and jumped up. Warm tingles ran through out her body as she raced to the window, throwing open the window she shivered. A cold blast of air hit the woman; she quickly and gently snatched up the presents and returned to her bed.
She placed the rose and feather delicately on her nightstand, and held the note in her hands. She opened it slowly and read:
My love
I bring you on this cold night
A rose dark as the night
A feather glossy as the stars above
But no star shines brighter than you
My cherry blossom
If you wish to see me
Meet me tonight
12 o'clock
At the stone that holds many memories and tears
I will be waiting
Until then,
The Raven
"At the stone that holds many memories and tears?" she said quietly to herself. "The memorial stone!" Sakura smiled and jumped up.
