Chapter 72
[A/N: Hmm, I went shopping today! ^_^ My birthday is on Tuesday..! What are you guys gifting me?]
He woke up feeling groggy. Well, that's what one gets when they cry themselves to sleep. His eyes hurt. His throat was parched. And his head hurt too.
He scrambled to the bathroom as his need to freshen up overcame everything else. But after he was done, he came out in his room feeling more gloomy and dark than he did when he first landed here.
He turned to the painted canvas containing the beautiful Thumbelina, and without a second thought, tossed it into the fireplace.
"You shouldn't have done that." He heard a voice from behind, and sighed.
What was she doing here so early in the morning?
"Why are you here..." He turned around, to catch the color she was, so he could make a new name, "...Sakura?"
Her eyes lit up, as if delighted by the fact that no matter how disturbed he was, he was still naming her.
"You have been to Japan, My Precious?" She asked with genuine curiosity.
He sighed. So she also believed in getting a clean slate with each passed night. Alright, who was he to push anger on her. It wasn't like they were in a relationship. It wasn't like they were obligated to answer each other. They were just twisted acquaintances.
Besides, somewhere deep down, he didn't even want to know who she was.
"Yes, Sakura... I have been backpacking throughout the world. It's a beautiful world that we live in..." He smiled, giving her free pass to last night's tiff between them.
[A/N : Sakura are a type of Pinkish Cherry Blossom trees. You can go google Sakura trees to see what color she was that day.. Or you can go check out the FB Page or My Index.. I'll be posting reference pics for you.]
