Hi everybody! It's me! Silver-fox princess123 here. It been a long time since I last write a chapter for this story. I thank these who was patiently waiting for this chapter. I have lost all my chapters of all the stories that I were written on the computer I was using.
I make a mistake on Spinel Sun name but I really thought his name was Sapphire. I will make sure to call him, Spinel now on. Even if I like Sapphire better thought.
You known I don't own Naruto or Card Captor Sakura. Just the idea of the story's plot and the song that I write call, "Memories Of You."
Now on with the story.
Chapter 4:
Meet of The Angel and the Moon.
(Yue POV's)
"Yue-kun, I have everything that you ask for. Do you to check to make sure that you have everything as I put them in the bags?," Elder Women said as she pull out the bags and put them on the counter by the cash register.
"I will like that very much so, Urameshi-san." I said to her as I get out the list that Yukito write down for me to get. You can tell that Aoi Urameshi was once a beautiful women and have age gracefully during the years. She was 5'6 feet tall with long gray hair in some hint of black held tightly and neatly in bun at top of her and honey-brown eyes hold fire and wise. She wore a light blue kimono with a gold slash around her waist and gold butterflies at the bottom of the outfit.
Urameshi glare strictly at me before pout and say. "Yue-kun, you and Yukito have been coming to my store for a long time now. You can lest call me Aoi-chan and be little less polite with me."
"Which you ask me every time, I come here. I will try but I am and will not make any promises." I told her as I look at the list. "Are you ready, Aoi-san?"
Aoi shake her head. "That better than nothing. Call them out, my stubborn customer."
"Two dozen of eggs."
"Check."
"A loan of bread"
"Check."
"Three loans of butter."
"Check."
"Three boxes of pie's crest."
"Check."
"Five bags of apples."
"Check."
"And two bottles of milk." I final call out before I put it back in my pocket and tack out his wallet.
"Check." She said as put the item in the last of three bags and run the prices in the cash register. " That will be total of forty dollars and fifty-nine cents."
( I don't know much about Japanese culture. So I am just mixing the things I know about it and learn to the things I live by. But I will read up more about the culture as time go by.)
"Thank you for the help, Aoi-san."I said as I give her the money. Aoi just smile as take the money and put it in the cash register."It was no problem. I joy helping out one of my best customers." She told as she hand me my bags. "O Yue-kun, there this new store that I went today. The place is run by these new people that just move in town and they run both a bakery and a cafe in one. I went there this afternoon during my lunch hour, I really joy their meal and their teas that was there have also tastes very delicious, and you should have hear their music. It was very unique and beautiful to listen to that it almost bring tears to my eyes." A new store? New people in town too? I don't know about that. Yukito will have told me if there was any new places or people in town. "That interest to know. There are new place and people in town? This is first I hear about it. How long have they been here so far?"
"Well the shop just open yesterday. But they have been here for lest three weeks now. I don't know much about them but they seem like nice people who have been through a lot last couple of years." Aoi told me as she place some item on the shelf before she turn back to me. "Why not go down to the shop and buy some sweets. I an sure you and your friends will like to try them."
Aoi-san do have good in sight of places and people. I have a feeling that they are the people we will meet soon. It would not cause any harm to go and check the place out. Thought I will be a little bit late getting home, buying some sweets seem like a good idea. I am sure Sakura-san and everyone else will like to try them out too.
"I will take a look at if you said so. Where the place at?" I ask as I pick up the bags off the counter. Aoi hum as she thought about it for moment before said. "It not far for here and it's two blocks closer to the way you will leave the market place. Just turn to left and keep go forward till you see the light green with dark brown highlights two stories building that have dark green sign that say, 'Konoha's Bakery and Cafe'. write in a golden-yellow color. The sign have been carve with marks of spirals that is the shape of leaves around it."
"I see you soon, Aoi-san. Please I have a please day." Before I turn to the door way, I see her waving goodbye at me. "Bye, Yue-kun. Do come back soon." I hear her say to me as I nodded before I walk out the store into the busy crowd. Now I think about it. Eriol have never told us her name and who she was with. He don't even told us what she look like. It just like him to behold some information and not tell us til it time or if we ask him. I better ask him when I get home. Hopefully Eriol will not try to play game this time. I saw the exit of market up-head. When I get two blocks way, I turn left as I was told and continue to walk down the street.
In font of me, stand a two-stories building in a downward rectangles in just the place that Aoi-san say it will be. The building was paint in a light green color with dark brown highlights. There are two window on both sides at font of building with mixer of pink and yellow flowers at each window and double door. On top of the place was the dark green and oval-shape sign that say, 'Konoha's Bakery and Cafe', write in a golden-yellow color with carve of spirals that is the shape of leaves around it.
I walk through the pathway til I get the double door. I put all of my bags in one hand before I grab the door handler to open the door and walk inside the place.
Inside of the store, its have warm and earthly colors. The walls was paint in a golden-brown color with dark jade-green highlights at edges of each sides of the walls. On the walls is drawing of leaves and different paintings of forest life on different sides. The floors was made out of dark polish oaks woods and the tables look like theirs was grow out from the ground with leaves like covers and green vines on the chairs. On some on the tables, there is vat of pink and yellow flowers on each table.
At the left side of store, the stairs that go up like spiral way and look-like it was made out of branches and green vines that go both up and down the stairs. And as well the bars that go around the store is also made out of look-like branches and green vines. The ceiling is paint in dark brown color with green vines hanging around the ceiling. There are also wood like fans and light-bub on the ceiling too. On the right side of the store, I see the counter, were you go to place a order, was dark oak tree color with green vines round of it.
There is so much green and brown in here I wonder if this have mean of something. I get that it posses to be earthly theme, make it look and feel like we are in the forest. In it on way, the places have a beauty and interest to these who want to have so peace and quiet.
I walk up to the counter and find that there are three people head of me. I get in line and wait for twenty minutes til the last person get the order. When I get up there, I see young male up font of me.
He was 5'8 feet tall with dark brown hair that ties in tight braid in the back and dark brown narrow or lazy eyes. He wear long sleeve pale brown dress-shirt with dark green army-style vest with a loose brown tie around his neck and dark brown army-style jean with dark green apron that have 'Konoha's Bakery and Cafe', write in a golden-yellow with golden-yellow leaves around it.
"Welcome to Konoha's Bakery and Cafe. I'm well you have like to have to day?" He lazy but politely ask as he take out both a menu and a note book to write down my order. I take the menu and look through it before I order.
"I will like to have three strawberry shortcakes, four small chocolate cakes, three small cherry pies, two small lemon-lime pies and cakes, six cheesecakes, two of them with cherry sauce, other two with black berry sauce, and two plain ones to go. And I will like to have a cup of green tea and two mini fruit pies for while await." I order calmly as Shikamaru-san rise eyebrow at middle before he wait the list down.
"That a lot of sweets to order. That will be twenty-five dollars and ninety-nine cents. Your order to go will be done in half a hour and Hinata will bring your other order in ten minute at your seat on table four. Close to the stage right over there."Shikamaru-san told as he point at to the stage which also match the store theme with some instruments on stage too. I nod and as take out my wallet and buy the sweet with some money that was left over for the other store. Shikamaru-san hand me my bill and table number before I walk, so he can work with the next customer.
I walk to my table and take seat. While I wait for my order, I decide to do some read on the book that is due in month and half for both English and Art class. Both teachers decide to join together and make every students that have their class is to write a five papers essay and do anything type of art base on one scene that spoken to us. I read some of it so far and little bit boring but it for a grade. Maybe it get better as the story go on.
~Ten minutes later.~
"Excuse me sir? I'm Hinata. I get your order you made easier." Gently and clam female voice's call to me. I turn to see young female stand next to with a tray in her hands.
She was 5'6 feet tall with dark-night blue hair that ties in the back and pale purple-blue eyes that one will mistake for blindness in first glance. She wear short-sleeves high pale brown turtleneck dress-shirt with dark green army-style vest and brown choker with green gem around her neck, dark brown army-style skirt that go pass the knee with dark green apron that have 'Konoha's Bakery and Cafe', write in a golden-yellow with golden-yellow leaves around it and a pale brown short-heel boots with a dark brown ribbons tie it together.
I look at her and said. "Ten minutes have pass away? That was fast."She smile at me and nod. "We try to get our order done the time we told our customers when its will be done. You ask for a cup of green tea and two mini fruit pies. Is that right, sir?"
"Yes. That what I have order easier."I told her as I start to clear my books way and put it back in schoolbag. "Here you go then." Hinata-san said as put the two plates, cup, fork down the table. "Your other order will be done in twenty minutes. In few minutes, there will be live music. While you wait, please joy the show and thank you for come to Konoha's Bakery and Cafe. I will be back with you order later." Hinata-san as she bow before she walk away. I pick up my fork to take small piece of the fruit pie, place to mouth, and eat it. Its taste quite good. The fruits was blend nicely together, the pie was bit butter but not over-sweet, and the crust was golden-brown and crisping. I take another bit before I pick up my cup of green tea. Which was still warm and nice aroma to it. I take sip of it and let out a relax sigh. The tea have tranquil taste to it. I feel-like all my worries and troubles have slip away. I think this place will be place to come when to get away from everybody and everything.
So far the people that I just met that work here is very polite and hardworking. They seem to be nice to everyone, and try make everything comfortable and go smoothly. That and they look very young yet have wise of older person who see the world. Aoi-san was right about they have hard life. But it not my business to know what happen to them. Thought I will keep look out just in case they are the people that Eriol said will be coming here.
(Naru POV's)
Man. It's been five months since we last been to Element Nation. But it do some go to be away from there. We all is start to heal from our wounds that the war have left on us. Both physical and emotional. We all decide to take out a hobby or two to keep our mind busy.
Sasuke decide take up on write and music to get his emotions out, without hurt anyone that he see. Hinata and Iruka decide to take up garden together to pass the time. I go there and help them in garden some time. Hinata also take up dance which she love to do with so much graces and passion. Iruka also help out with the library on Wednesday and Saturday. He happy helping people with books or reading to the kids on story time. Kakashi start to write his own books, thought nothing too mature or we will his head for it. He decide to see how well the shop do before adding a book selection in the store. If I remember right, his editor will be in here in three days for next book. Sakura start to gather herbals for medical, teas, and foods. She look for that have the best affect types of herbals that match the person's unique and mood. Hinata is also help her with that sometime. Sakura start to learn about the medical from out here too. She went to see if she can bring the medical from Element Nation and Outside world together. She still want to save life no matter what. It is something that keep her going everyday.
Shikamaru start to read and collect books about different things, like wars, theories, relationships, and life. He sometime help Kakashi proof read what he have write and change it if need too or just go cloud watch. Gaara is take the time to design and build beautiful things that he sometime sell for a fair price. He also start to paint lot lately which I find beautiful but bit dark too. I am other hand is doing bit everything with friends and family. Thought I am also take the time to design outfits, jewels, and mangas.
It was my idea to open the Konoha's Bakery and Cafe. I want something to remind us the place met and people we love. I don't want us to forget were we come from but also remind that we still here and alive.
Iruka, Sakura, and Kakashi take care of baking the sweets, the food, and drinks. Shikamaru take care of the orders and tell which tables the customers need to go to. Hinata, Gaara, Sasuke, and I server the food and ask them do they need anything else. But in two weeks time, Hinata, Gaara, Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru, and I will be going to school. So we need to hire some part-workers to help out while we are gone. We can also use shadow and blood clones to help out too. Thought I don't want to take chance that the clones get attack and leave a mess when they die. Maybe just to help out till we get some workers here because I don't want to leave here for some reason.
We visit different towns and people but it didn't feel right to stay there long. But as soon as we arrives to Tomoeda, I somehow know that this were we need to be. That and lately strange things been happen around me. I remember Sasuke and I get into huge argue two days ago, I get so mad without touch him, I somehow throw him cross the room. I and everyone else was shock what I did to him. After we check on him to make sure he was alright, Shikamaru talk me that the moment that Sasuke was throw cross the room, my hand was white glow and wind somehow come in room push him. Everyone agree with Shikamaru about it. Later on when I was by myself, I have a tell with Kurama. He laugh at me when I ask him did he have something to do with it. I find it annoy that when something like this happen to me, he find it amuse. Stupid. Sadist. Fox.
I hear that, Kit. You was possess to hear that, Kurama.
Anyway I finally he tell me what I did was magic. At first I didn't believe him because he tend to pull my leg for his amuse sometime. Then he ask me how did my hand glow white when I was mad at Sasuke. I told him to prove it to me. He told me sit down, take deep breath, and to look deep inside myself. When I feel a warm sensation, hold on to it but not to control it either.
~Flashback in Naru's mind.~
I sit down on the ground and take couple breaths as I start to look in myself. Take a while but I start
to feel warm sensat000ion coming over me. It feel different but similar to my chakra but at sometime it not.
"What you are feel now it is almost like nature chakra but it's also part of you being. That is magic. Magic is different for each and every person who have it." I hear Kurama explain to me. I try to move it around but it keep move away from me.
Kurama chuckle at my attempt before he said."You can't control it. The magic is alive as you and I. You have to work along with the magic. Not against it. Its will refuse to be complete control." My eyebrow twist but I keep my eyes close."How do you even know what magic is in the first place? If I remember right, you are made out of chakra!" I irritate said as I try to keep a calm mind before I snap at him.
Kurama snort at me and said."I have live in this world before any of your ancestries was born. I have seen and met people who can use magic. Some have it since birth, pass down from bloodline, or later on develop it on their own or with help. I think you are a late bloom. You have it since born but it don't develop til now." I sigh and pout at him."Then how am I posses to have the magic work with me, Kurama." "I will explain it in a way that even a five year-old can understand."Anger mark appear at forehead."Are you saying that I have a mind of five year-old ." He smirk at me." No. I am just saying that you can be kinda slow and short temper at time." I open my eyes to darkly glare at him. My mindset has change from sewer-pipes cage to open meadow with wild flowers around me. I can hear the waterfall behind me were the clear lake stand at. In font of me was Kyuubi no Kitsune in human form.
Kurama was 6'1 feet tall with dark orange-crimson long and loose hair with black highlights and bloody-red narrow eyes. He wore a male black kimono with crimson slash and butterflies and black pant with no shoes. Kurama also have collar around his neck with the word 'Seal', crimson fox ears on top of his head and nine tails.
He laid on his side with arm under his chin and another holding a black fan with crimson butterflies on it as he smirk at me. "Now. Now. Now, kit." He said to me as he wave his fan at me. "You know what I said is true. You do have you moment thought." I sigh anger at him with my glare darkly at the word he said to me. "Kurama. If you don't start explain it to me soon, I will start think the gum bear song and have them appear all around you til you do." I smirk sinisterly at him. He shiver as he throw a dark glare at me.
"I hate that song. It's fucking annoy and make no sense at all. I promise you kit that if you do that, I will make you have nightmare for months." I stare at him seriously as I solemnly told him "I willing to take the chance."Kurama groan as he cover his face with the fan. "I was fear of that." He said to me before he stare at me seriously over his fan. "I will only say this once. So you better listen closely, Naruto." I nod to him.
He shut his fan as he sit up. "Close your eyes and look for that warm sensation again. Tell me when you get it." I close my eyes as I look for the feeling again. It don't take long to find it. That warm and serenity sensation feeling. "I feel it now, Kurama."
"Good." he said calmly. "Now slowly breathes in and out." What do that I have anything to do with learn to control my magic. Well I here go.
In. Just now the warm feeling rise up and warmer. Out. Now it went back down as it was before.
In. Up.
Out. Down.
In. Up.
Out. Down.
In. Up.
Out. Down.
In. Up.
Out. Down.
In and out. Up and down.
I get now why Kurama said that magic is alive and can't be control. Each time I breath inside and out, the magic become stronger and more calm as I do. The magic is also part of me and I can't control myself by force but I have to work long with it. I have to guild what I need it to do and let it do the rest. Because the magic is in my blood, my breath, my soul, and my body. We are one and the same. Nothing more and nothing less.
"I see you figure it out yourselves." He said with a smile. "Now open your eyes and look at your hand."
I open my eyes. At first it was blur but slowly clear up. I still feel that warm sensation inside but also outside, and more so in my hand. I stare down to my hand to see them glow white. Shikamaru was right about my hand was glow white.
"You still have along way to learn about magic and have to use it. Your magic reacts by your emotions and thoughts. I will teach you what I know. But soon or later, you have to find someone to teach you." He told me serious then he pause for minute. "And I will also be training you in other things too while I at. I wont go easy on you."
I shiver as I see that sadist glee in his eyes. I know I will regret this later on. But I need the training anyway. So I wont hurt anyone anymore. "I know. Take good take care of me, Kyuubi-sensei"
~Flashback end.~
And I was right. I do regret it most of the time. Lest I have most control half of the time. We all own the shop but Iruka-sensei and Kakashi-sensei legal own in paper. With the help of Gaara and shadow clones we get the place open in a week. The inside remind me of Konoha and I am also plan to do live show here in the café. I want people to come and to loose what they feeling and show it. But I must first run it through with guys.
The outfit for the café is what I design with the approve of Sakura and Surprisingly, Shikamaru.
For the girls, they will wear short-sleeves high pale brown turtleneck dress-shirt with dark green army-style vest and brown choker with green gem around their neck, dark brown army-style skirt that go pass the knee with dark green apron that have 'Konoha's Bakery and Cafe', write in a golden-yellow with golden-yellow leaves around it and pale brown short-heel boots with dark brown ribbons tie it together. For the boys, they will be wear long sleeve pale brown dress-shirt with dark green army-style vest with a loose brown tie around his neck and dark brown army-style jean with dark green apron that have 'Konoha's Bakery and Cafe', write in a golden-yellow with golden-yellow leaves around it and dark brown army boots.
We are doing a sing for the people for every four-hour and this will be the last song for the day before we close up. And I want to sing a song that match the feelings I have when I lost Neji. I know he will want to happy and move on but I just can'tRIGHT now. But I hope that wherever he watch over me, he hear this and know that he always in my thoughts and I love him.
"Naru-chan. Are you ready to get on stage?" Sakura call out to me. I turn look at her and smile. Sakura was 5'7 feet tall with light bubble-gum pink long and curls hair and light green eyes that hold kind and wise. She always change out of her café outfit into her comfortable cloths. She wear black short-sleeves t-shirt with a green leaf on it, black and short fingerless gloves, and black leather short pants that go over the knee and tennis shoes.
"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?" I happily told her as I turn to look at the mirror to see my reflection. I was 5'8 feet tall with long, spiking, and sunny blond hair that go pass my shoulders with black and silver highlights and light blue eyes that I was told can rival the sky and ocean. I wear orange turtleneck short dress that go to the knee with faded navy blue short-sleeves jean-jacket and belt at the waistline, and blue and orange tennis shoes. Around my neck is the necklace that blue-green that Tsunade-san give long time ago. I miss her too. She was like the mother and grandma I never have. Even I know who are my birth parents is now. She have a part in my life and thank her for everything.
"Nothing much." Sakura start to said. "It's just that you seem to silence and lost in thought."
"Don't worry about me. I am fine. I just think about something." I said as I put my hair in to a high ponytail with orange ribbon.
"Naruto is thinking? Is the world going under crises or something?" I hear Sasuke said as I turn and glare at him. He stood by the door before he move in the room and to a seat. Sasuke was 6'1feet tall with dark-night black hair that still shape like a duck-butt with dark blue toned in it and dark cold coal eyes that we feel like be into black-hole of emotions. He wore black short-sleeves shirt with gray long sleeve undershirt and his clan sign, gray jean with rips, and black-gray tennis shoes.
"Uchiha, don't joke like that. With our luck, that could have happen at any time." Gaara coldly said as he walk sedately in the room. He was 5'9 feet tall with short and mess crimson hair that go pass the back of his neck and cover his love tattoo, and teal green serious eyes which most of time hold back emotions. He wear red short-sleeves turtleneck with black strips and black short glove, black pant with red strips at the bottom of the pant, and black boots with red belts.
"I do have brain you know, Sasuke. Don't make jock about that. And call me, Naru. Naruto is too boyish for my tastes." I scold at him before I turn to Gaara and said to him. "It not the time to worry about that. We need to get on stage in two minutes. So please loose up bit, Gaara. For me?" They both roll their eyes but nodded. I took one last look at my reflection before I turn to them. " I am ready to go! Let give them show they will remember." I said fire up as I throw my fist in air. They just stare at me blankly before turning to the door.
"See you on stage." Gaara told as he walk out the room.
"Excite as ever, Naru." Sakura shake her head before she gracefully walk out the room.
"Learn control yourselves, Dobe." Sasuke said with smirk as he start walk out too.
"Don't call me dobe. Teme!" I furiously call out to him as I run out the room and catch up to him. "A dobe is a dobe. That can't be change." I growl at him before I take deep breath and count to ten. I can't kill him. I can't kill him. He is my friend, my rival, my family, my brother. I will feel guilty if I do and I don't want to take anymore life. I want to protect what I get left. So kill him was go against that.
"You know Naru. If you don't react when he call you that name, he possibly won't call you that much." Sakura told as she turn to us. I know she right. But the way he said it with that damn smirk make want to chock the life out of him at time. "I know. but Sasuke just rub me in wrong sometime. And I can't help it, but to react what he said or do."
"Don't blame me for your short temper." Sasuke call out to me. He threw a his death glare at me. I am so used to your death glare that it don't affect me as much it use too, Sasuke. But I will never tell him that thought. He will found a way to make me fear him or sometime. "O please," I just roll eyes at the glare. "I am not put any blame on you. I'm just saying that you're irritate sometime."
"I can said the same about you too."
"Duck-butt."
"Whiskers."
"Emo."
"Loser."
"Cold blood."
"Hothead."
"Suke-chan."
"Hell's Nightmare."
"Bast-"
"WILL THE BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP ALREADY!" Sakura shriek. We both jump two feet away for her with our ears cover. I almost forget how loud she can be when one push her to do it. "You both act like children. For once act like your ages and don't think I wont tell Iruka-sensei. Because I promise I will. He is the only one who talk some sense in you two."
"Sorry." We both mutter as we glare each other before we look away for each other.
"Good. Now both of you get on stage and act right before I decide to put you two in the infirmary for the next two week til we go to school." Sakura told us as she point to the enter of stage with her deadly glare. I shiver as I quickly walk to the stage, follow by Sasuke.
I know Sakura about it this time and I have feeling that Kyuubi will not heal me to teach lesson and for amusement. Two whole weeks with Sasuke. We will try to kill or drive each other crazy. I don't want be with him when he go to his Emo mode. I have nightmare about it last time and I was not in the best of moods either. Everyone learn on that week, I need to have my rest or I will become their worst fear.
When I get on stage, I see the lights was dim to leave a glowing and shadowing effect. I walk up to the fount where the mike stand with my dark orange guitar with a black spirals and my whole name on the bottom at it side. I turn to the back to see everyone stand to the instrument. Gaara have his cello by his side and check up on it, Sakura is tune up her bass to make sure it work, Sasuke sit at the piano waiting for me to start. I smile at them before I grab the mike.
"Good evening. We thank all you for come out to Konoha's Bakery and Cafe. I hope you will come again soon. This will be the last song for the day before we close up in an hour. We are The Will of Fire and this call, 'Memories Of You.', and please joy the show." I finish saying as Gaara start to play the cello deep and powerful, Sasuke begin to follow soft and jazz melody on piano with Sakura and I start to play both deep and jazz rhythm with our guitar and bass.
With a soft and deep voice, I start to sing.
"Last night, I have a dream of a cage bird that flew away.
It's sing a song of freedom and love.
Knowing that it finally found peace,
I wake up with tears falling from my eyes.
As I look at the picture of us, a sad smile came to be.
These moments that we spend together are precious to me.
But time have come to pass,You are gone now and you wont be able to return again.
Even so I will always love you and keep you close.
The rain is falling with memories of you.
Of the laughter that you bring to my life,
The love that we had is everlasting and will always be true to me,
And I hope that the smiles that we have share will never fade away from my memories.
Even thought we argue with each other and said things that we don't mean,
You always was the one that can see through my mask.
You know what to do when I am hurting and need to be held tightly.
That make me want to forgive the pain that we cause to one another.
Looking into these clear eyes remind of the reason I can't stay mad for long.
You just know what to said to make me laugh and smile when I need it the most.
But now thinking of these thoughts make my heart ache for you once again.
The sunset hold the memories of us.
Of the time we first meet, we slowly because friends and more as time pass on.
We both know what it like to feel cage inside.
But we make it through it all."
The music to start to slow down as Sakura and I stop playing our instrument. Leaving Gaara and Sasuke play the melody with more passion, gentle, and sad tone.
"Just like the cage bird in my dream, you flew far away from me.
I hope that you find that peace that you been looking for.
I will find the strength to live this life, even if it is without you in it."
After I sing that part with the raw emotions that I pour into, the rhythm start to pick up with everybody play together again with more force and soul.
"The rain is falling with memories of you.
Of the laughter that you bring to my life,
The love that we had is everlasting and will always be true to me,
And I hope that the smiles that we have share will never fade away from my memories.
These moments that we spend together are precious to me.
But time have come to pass,You are gone now and you wont be able to return again.
Even so I will always love you and keep you close.
Because the memories of you will away be in my heart."
The music start to fade away til the only play was Sasuke who end it in a soft and sad melody lend on. Everyone in the crowd start to claps and shouting. We all take a bow before I said. "Thank you again. If there any last-minute orders, please do it now before we close. I have a good evening and night." We walk out the stage and into the crowd. We take any last-minute order and take them to Shikamaru who give them to Iruka and Kakashi who made them as fast as they can with the help of the clones. As I walk away with last order for the day, I push by one of customers and lost my balance. I was about to catch myself when two hands garb both my arms and sit me up.
"Are you already?" A deep and smooth male voice ask me. I have to stop myself from shiver at the voice. "Yeah. I am fine. I should have been more careful where I was walk. Thank you for catching me." I told with blush as I turn to face him. He was 6' feet tall with silver moon-like long hair tie in low mess braid and silver-blue moon-like narrow eyes that shine with wise and inner kindness. He wear a light blue-purple school jacket with white collar-shirt, light blue-purple pants and black shoes.
"I was just close by that all." He said as he sit back and drink his tea. Modest. You don't find someone like that a lot now.
"Still thank you I'm Naru Uzumaki-Namikaze." I told him as hold my hand out to him. He look at me first before place his cup down and take hold of my hand.
(Yue POV's )
"Yue." I told her my name as we shake hands. When I touch her hand, I felt a trace of magic on her for second before it disappear. Either she has magic or know someone who do. I better keep an eye on her just in case. I sit down and went back to my green tea. "Is Naru is your name or a nickname that you go by,Uzumaki-Namikaze-san?" I pause to ask before I take another slip of cup. Naru-san sigh before response. "Naru is short for Naruto and please call me, Naru. It easier to say then my whole last name."
"Are you waiting-" She start to ask but was cut off as Hinata-san walk with my bag that hold two boxes of my sweets I order. "Here your order, sir. O Naru. There you are. Iruka is need of your help in the back now please." She told as her as she hand me my bag. Naru-san nod to her and said.
"I will get on that now, Hinata-chan." She turn to leave but pause and turn back. "It was nice to talk. I hope you come again soon, Yue-san. I have good night.." I said to me with bright smile before she turn and walk away. Hinata-san giggle and smile. "I see you meet Naru-chan." She told to me as I nodded. "Naru tend to be straight forward to people. But she don't mean any harm. Well I will take these off the table and you can be on your way. I sure your family is worried about you by now."
Hinata clear off the table as I stood up."Yes they will." I said to her as I garb my stuff and leave a tip on the table. "Thank you for the services." I leave the building and the market place and start to walk my way home. Which will take about thirty minutes to get there. I hope they don't start to ask questions where I been again. Specially Sakura and Yukito. I hate it when they both double team on me. It was amuse when they did it on their own boyfriends. But it is irritated when you are in middle of it. They even use the puppy-eyes on you, just so you to talk. Hopefully, the sweets will keep them off my case for the time being.
~Thirty minutes later at home.~
I open the door quietly as I walk in the house and close it, I could hear their voices coming for the living room. I know that no matter how much I want to quietly go in the kitchen without them realizing that I am back, they will see me and Yukito will still be in the kitchen get some snacks and drinks. The quick get this over with, the faster I can talk with Eriol about something.
I walk through the hall to the crossways of living and den-kitchen. As I turn to the kitchen I hear Sakura call out. "Yue! Welcome Home. What take you so long any way?"
"I went and get the grocery like Yukito have ask me to." I told her as I put the boxes and schoolbag on the table before I went to the kitchen area. And as I thought, Yukito were getting some snacks and drinks. He turn and smile when he see me walking toward him with the bags. "Welcome back,Yue. I wonder what took you soon long. You won't hurt where you?" Yukito concern ask me as he look over me to check for any wounds.
"No, I am fine. I get the grocery that you ask for." I told him as I handle him the bags. "Thank you." He took them from my hand and start to put them in their places. "So where was you then?" he ask again with his back turn against me. Here we go the questioning. I better humor him before he give me the look and bring Sakura into it. "Aoi-san told me about this new bakery and café that open yesterday. She told me how good the foods, drinks, and music was there, I decide to take look at it. And I have to agree with her, their mini fruit pie and green tea was good, and the music was pleasant to listen too."
Yukito turn and look at me surprisingly. "I don't know that. They must be new in town. What the place call then?" He ask as he put the last item way. "Konoha's Bakery and Cafe. I buy some sweets from there too. It on the den room table." I reply as I take some small plates of shelve and the forks out of the drawer and put it on the tray where the five tall glass of lemonade and five cups with pot of raspberry and mint tea at. I pick the tray up and handle to Yukito.
"Good idea, Yue! We can have them for snack before I start on dinner. I'll carry this in living room, while you go and bring them in there too."He cheerful said as he carry the tray to living. I sigh as I went and get the two white boxes out the bag. I look at top of one of the white boxes and saw the 'Konoha's Bakery and Cafe', write in a golden-yellow with golden-yellow leaves around it. I pick them up before walking to the living room. I see Yukito place the tray on the table. He pour four cups of tea and pass two of them to Touya, Spinel, and Eriol before he handle mine to me as I walk up to him and place the box down, and then he take his cup as he sitting between Touya and Ruby on the couch. Ruby pout at him, while Yukito just smile too sweetly at her. Yukito maybe too kind but he very protection and ge ta bit jealousy at time. Ruby need to be careful around Touya if she know what good for her.
"Yukito-kun have always told us that you stop by a bakery and café on your way home, Yue." Sakura said as she grab and pass the lemonade out to Tomoyo, Rudy, Kero, Syaoran, and herself. Take a set on chair on the left of Syaoran. I walk over to chair that between Tomoyo and Eriol and sit down. I nod. "Yes. The place was unique in it own way. Some of the people I met was polite and kind."
Kero fly over to me. "Sweets! What kind of sweets you get it?" He ask as he excitedly around me. The first thing come out of his mouth is foods. He so glutton that I would not be surprise if he eat us out of all our food. "Three strawberry shortcakes, four small chocolate cakes, three small cherry pies, two small lemon-lime pies and cakes, six cheesecakes, two of them with cherry sauce, other two with black berry sauce, and the two plain ones." Kero's eyes grow big and shine as he drools when list them out to them.
"Kero, please learn control yourselves." Syaoran said in disgust as he drink his glass. Sakura just roll her eyes. She get use of Kero's glutton but little gross out. "That a lot of sweet." Tomoyo said as she take a plate and fork. Then open one of the boxes to get a strawberry shortcake and place it on the plate. "Kero, this is your piece." She place the sweet down on table by Spinel. Kero flew toward it. "Thank you, Tomoyo." He said as he pick up the fork, took a small bite and eat it. He moan at the taste as he float up in the air. "This taste so good." he dig right in the cake.
"We don't need to worry about that, Tomoyo. I buy them enough that we all get two each. So don't you get greed, Kero." I said as I glare at him. Tomoyo start to out the sweet to everyone.
A small cherry pie to Ruby. A small lemon-lime pie to Spinel. A small plain cheesecake to Eriol. A small cheesecake with cherry sauce to Syaoran. A small cheesecake with black berry sauce to Touya. A small chocolate cake to Yukito. A strawberry shortcake to Sakura. Kero get a small cheesecake with cherry sauce after he finished with his strawberry shortcake. I get a small lemon-lime cake. And Tomoyo get herself a strawberry shortcake. I watch them take bit and sigh happily of the taste.
"This so good." Sakura said with dreamy gaze as she take another bit.
"I can tell how much it take to make this flavor." Eriol said with smile as he drink his tea before take another bit.
"Ah. I tease the richness of cream and strawberry of the cake." Tomoyo told with bright smile.
"I am not much of sweet person but this lemon-lime pie have great balance of sour and sweet that I wont complaint about it being a sweet." Spinel told calmly as he take a lazy bit.
"Not bad. I won't mind to eaten these once a while." Touya said as he taste the flavor of his cake slowly.
Yukito happily smile as he dig in his chocolate cake. With crumb on his face, he said, "I have to go there sometime soon."
"I won't mind eat these one everyday. I wonder if my mom and sisters would like some." Syaoran ask as he take drink of his lemonade.
"I give this cherry pie A plus." Ruby said as she happily bit in to the pie.
"I want another one now." Kero wince as he look at me with sad eyes.
"No." I told him as I take a bite of lemon-lime cake. The cake have rich with lemon-lime and bit of butter. I need ask them have they get it this way. "So is everyone update what going on."
"Eriol have explain why he was here and the dream that Sakura have. I really hoping that the little monster will stay out trouble." Touya said as he frown. Sakura glare darkly at him as she growl at him. "I. Am. Not. A. Monster. Onii-chan!"
"The person who will be here have great magic. Her magic in time could, no, will be equal to Sakura." Eriol said serious as stare at us. "Someone who could be equal to Sakura?!" Syaoran and Kero shout. Eriol nod his head. "Yes. Also her power is unique too. I can't tell what is, but I know that her power draw from the sun, the moon, the stars themselves." The star is mix of the sun and the moon. But one who can really draw from themselves.
"What is she after then? She not coming after the Sakura or her card is she?" Touya ask seriously and Yukito glare worries over between Sakura and Eriol.
"No, she is new to her power and I don't think she want to hurt anyone. She and friends been through a lot of things. A lot of things that we wont understand or know about." Eriol stare straight at Touya then everyone else "What I can understand that she never let herself full with hates and darkness. Even when she is close to, she will always put anthers first. She is a lot like you, Sakura. But at the same time she not. I don't fear that she will bring trouble to us. I fear that she will be the one who will be in trouble." Eriol said. With a flash, I see Naru-san in my mind eye. I now I think about it when I look in her light blue eyes, I don't just saw kindness, but pain and sadness. She could be the one will are talking about. I need to make sure thought.
"Eriol, what is her name?" I ask him serious as I stare straight at him. Eriol sigh and close his eyes for moment before open then again. "Her name is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. Why you do ask, Yue? " The magic I felt on from her was her. She still learning to control it because she have not sense me yet and it also make it dangerous for her and everyone. She need training and watch over soon because what Eriol saying is true.
"She won't be here soon." I start to said as everyone turn and stare at me. Eriol, Sakura, and Syaoran realize what I am going to say. "Because she is already here."
I will leave it here then. I understand that you hate cliffhanger. I do to as much as the next person. But it what also make the story more fun and worth reading. I hope you like the POV's Of Naru and Yue. I want them to meet first and Yue to realize and make the other realize that she was always here. I also want you guys to see how Naru have find out about her magic and Kyuubi is still with her and have other plan for another tails-beasts.
I want you to guess what I will do. And I still need ideas for the cards that Naruto will. I know what nickname I want for both Sakuras'.
Sakura H. will be Strong or/and Healer, while Sakura K. will be the Gently or/and Wind. Now I need to find these names in Japanese. If you find them please, tell me that will be great help.
Til the next chapter, goodbye ans review.
