Rain

Rain… can't explain why every droplet that comes from heaven makes me soaking wet. Water goes up to the clouds and when it's heavy it pours… come to think of it, do people evaporate as well?

Disclaimer: I write fan fictions because I don't own anything yet.

Author's Notes: it's raining hard here in Metro Manila… Signal No. 3 by the typhoon Milenyo… (It's a Thursday –Sept. 28, '06- as I write this on paper. My pc shutdown… brownout…) probably no classes –yehey!- Gosh I left all my notes in my locker! Good thing I left my English book here at home… Yikes! The roof is nearly flying it's so rainy and windy…Free hugs…

Question: How does one deal with rain?

Rain

By: caiyt

The rain started washing away the dirt from my window pane. From inside I tried to count each drop I could see vividly. I touched the cold mirror of my window. It was dark outside. I wiped the dew to see the surroundings clearly. It was one in the afternoon yet the sky was dark and the clouds look heavier than usual. I heard a knock on my door. I wonder who it could be.

Knock! Knock!

"Mikan?" the voice cried.

"Yes? Who is it?" I answered.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

I opened the door to reveal a wet Natsume in front of me.

"What the? You're wet! Come!" I ran to my bathroom and grabbed the towel hanging in the chair.

Idiot! Why are you wet! Argh! What did you do? Argh…

"Mikan…" he moaned.

"Yes? I'm here don't worry I always be here. Hush…" I comforted him.

He was freezing cold and I could see he's hand go numb. Natsume what the heck did you do now?

(A/n: waa. I'm wet! Argh darn you rain! Shoo!)

"Mikan…" he cried out 'again'.

"Natsume I'm right here!" I reached out for his hand.

It was cold, really cold.

"I'm freezing." He murmured.

Can't he create fire? Darn it, it's because of that darn mission!

"I have to do something." I whispered.

Human blanket… I learned it in my Science class before. It's the process of transferring body heat…

'Should I do it?'

I brought him to my bed and tuck him in. But it was not enough, he was still freezing.

'I have to…'

I removed slightly the blanket I used to make him warm. I slid gently my warm body and opened my hands 'I have to do this, for Natsume.'

"Mikan?" he whispered.

I felt his body melt a little his warm aura came back slightly. I saw his eyes, they were blazing again. His nose twitched, I giggled at this. He looked at me.

"Why are you laughing?" he asked.

"Your nose just twitched and you looked funny. Anyway, are you alright?" I asked as I helped myself to stand.

He grabbed my arm and pulled me back to the bed. The rain poured even harder. I could hear the splashing outside. The rolling of thunder as if everything was scripted…

"Could you hug me again?" he whispered as he bit my right ear.

"Nat-su-me… What's happening to you? I thought something bad already happened it was so real…" I managed to say.

Is he just playing with me? Did the rain get to his brain? What's going on?

"No… Nothing, I just missed you…" he told me.

"So what was that all about? It was so real." I was really confused.

"It's real. You just made me warmer… warmer than the fire I could give off." He was so gentle, so real yet so cunning.

The rain made him come closer, closer to my warm body… and caress…

Author's End Notes: Hayy. This is the main reason why I hate rainy seasons; it gives me time to reminisce things I have longed to forget. And not to mention the fact that I am longing for any warmth any person could offer.

And all other sexes.. hehe Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice… and if this story is not nice or insulting to other people specially to the author please just send me a mail or react through reviews… Author's Notes: I finally decided to write this cause I had certain inspirations.. hehe I saw my 'friend' hehe who is somewhat one of the unknown sexes hehe or as I refer to as 'UNDEFINED' hehe…. ---- DREAM SEQENCE: (Ruka) "No please don't come anymore closer…" -moans- "Please stop, Natsume… don't…" -ahhh-(soft yells) "Stop you're yapping I know you want it too.." -crawls slowly towards Ruka- "But Natsume…?" -he covers his body with the blanket- "What…" -Natsume feels something dripping..- "I can't really do this.." -Ruka shakes his head- "Why not?

"Something about sweet and delicious. Ruka gasped at what Natsume said. "…I was just offering you this…" Natsume continued as he crept to Ruka's side. 'No please am I still dreaming?' Ruka thought as he closed his eyes. "Why are you looking like that? I was just gonna offer you a, CAKE!" Natsume yelled. He threw the cake and leaped outside the window. "CAKE?" Ruka yelled at the top of his voice. Author's Notes: wahahahah I'm so I don't know what today…ehehe hope I tickled you're funny bone a bit… hehe --- kate RED star

Death

Everybody dies… No one in this world is not suggested to die… But some die even though their time has not yet arrived… And others die because they sacrifice their lives for the sake of other people… Death should not be feared, but, to tell you frankly… I'm afraid to die… so afraid…

Disclaimer: Haguchi Tachibana is the only owner of Gakuen Alice…!

Author's Notes: Darn it! I hate drama! But I'm really in the verge of tears! Dammit! It's all his fault, that for nothing son of a… Argh! Onii-chan please help me! You can just kill him for all I care! This fic I think has no pairing… They are mourning for a friend's death… Ruka's death in the hands of the living devil, Persona. –one shot-

"I'm gonna kill him!" Natsume swore to the corpse in front of him.

"Don't you get it Natsume?" Mikan who was crying beside the body said.

Ruka died just averagely 10 minutes ago. He suffered severe wounds, his left leg dissolved; his face was still drowning with blood, barely fresh blood. It was so unbearable. You couldn't tell who he was. He died in the hands of a violent man, considered to be ruthless, the truly despicable, Persona.

"What do you want me to say?" he took a step forward and clenched his fist. "Thank you, Persona for murdering my best friend in front of my eyes?" he accused Mikan.

Yuu rushed to Mikan's side.

"What the heck are you saying?" Mikan stood up and jerked Yuu.

"You're not the only one who wants to avenge his death!" she pushed Natsume's right shoulder. "You're not his only friend! Hotaru, did you think about what she should've felt? You selfish moron!" Mikan cried more.

Hotaru smirked with what Mikan said. But in the corner of her cold gray eyes, tears were being prevented to fall down over he now ever so pale cheeks.

"Mikan stop it already…" Yuu tried pulling her away from Natsume.

"Don't stop me Yuu, he has to know what kind of bastard he is!" Mikan turned to Yuu.

"Natsume, listen to me, Youichi… he's badly injured, so is Narumi-sensei and Misaki-sensei…Even Tsubasa is hurt! You know why? It's because they didn't want Persona to get you! They're, no, we all protected you!" Mikan cried harder.

She wiped her tears slowly and looked at Natsume.

"Even Ruka, he did everything to prevent him form getting you… again" and with that she ran away from everyone.

She bumped into Mr. Narumi and there she cried harder…

Hotaru embraced the white blanket before she covered the now colder corpse of Ruka. She can't stand just the look of it. She can't imagine not being able to protect him at that time. She felt so guilty in the sense that it felt like it was her own fault he died.

"If only I was able to stop him… I might still have him by now…" she whispered.

She cried quietly and blamed herself with all the misery Ruka felt. Natsume clenched his fist once more and took an aim at the rusty gate of the Alice Dungeon.

"Take him outside, I myself will cremate his body." He said.

"Do you know why Mikan said all of those stuff?" Hotaru stated as cold as ever.

She looked at Natsume sharply as if blaming him for all the terrible things that are occurring at that moment. Natsume didn't speak and he stared at her thinking of what she meant. He gasped.

'Don't tell me she's going to… No!' he thought.

Hotaru seemed to have awakened his senses of what her desperate friend might do. And she nodded. "Yes she is…"

Natsume ran out of the dungeon and yelled.

"Take care of Ruka for me…"

He rushed towards the tree. He knew she's gonna be there. He bumped into Kokoroyomi on the way.

"She's still there, Narumi is with her, hurry 'he's' coming for her."

Kokoroyomi ran towards the path Natsume came from. He needs to save the others before 'he' might get them. Natsume rushed to the Sakura tree. He saw Narumi protecting Mikan cause Persona was there.

"I promised Misaki that I won't ever use his vines but… now here's an exception." Natsume heard Narumi speak.

'I am no longer afraid to die…' he thought. 'Not anymore!'

He ran and cast a big ball of fire towards Persona.

Upon seeing the fireball he made his way to escape it not knowing that Tsubasa was at his back ready to capture his shadow and he did capture Persona's shadow and with another blow from Natsume, he burned the killer of his friend saying…

"Death is knocking at your door… I have opened it for you… Ruka you've been avenged…"

I Miss Him

What happens when you don't see someone that is special and so dear to you? Would you try to look for him or her? Do you miss them? Well, I do…

Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice and Naruto characters… I just use them to characterize my feelings in my fictions…

Author's Notes: This is a cross-over... A cross-pairing as well… these were the names the real characters in my story used in a texting clan… Anime Rocks Extreme… which is now in the ruins…

I Miss Him

---

"It's so hot.." Mikan said as she combed her hair.

It was in the middle of January, it should've been cold and yet it was so darn hot. She opened her laptop to continue encoding a part of her long book report. A message box appeared to her. She checked her mails for she hadn't opened it for almost 2 weeks.

As usual there were about 127 unread messages and 210 unheard voice mails. She strolled down the long number of messages.

Something caught her eyes.

"What the? Sasuke?" she gasped.

It was as if her heart leaped.

She clicked the message to read it.

After reading it she was overwhelmed.

"It had been 2 months since we last heard from each other. I thought I should forget him because he himself also forgot… but…" she quickly wrote a reply.

It was true… she liked him… even from the very start back when they barely knew each other… she liked him… she felt this eerie feeling towards him…

Her laptop buzzed.

'Who could this be?' it was a voice message.

She connected her enhancement.

"Yes who is this?" Mikan answered politely.

There was no answer.

She heard a smirk.

"Who the heck are you?" she asked again but a bit annoyed this time.

She was about to turn it off cause she was annoyed enough when someone spoke.

"Little girl… (Nene in Filipino.)" It was a familiar voice.

"Who are you?" she demanded.

"Don't you remember me, little brat?" he said mockingly.

"Sa-sas-sauke?" she stuttered either out of shock or too much happiness that was about to burst out of her. She didn't understand the sudden emotion.

"Why are you talking like that? You sound funny brat… did you grow, no, I mean, lessen your age and turned to a preschooler?" he annoyed her.

"You... you… GRANDPA! (Manong in Filipino.) Why you! How dare you call me a brat and to add 'little' huh?" she grumbled.

"Ohhh really… should I be scared now, little girly brat? Don't you miss me? Haha" he laughed mockingly as he asked.

"Wha-what?" her heart was pounding so hard.

"Oh, never mind." Sasuke said.

"Wait… uhm… how are you by the way? Huh Sasuke?" she was smiling.

"Hmmm let's see… I still have a complete body system and all my body parts are still intact… but there was something missing… I missed the brat who would usually wake me up and tease me before I go to school and stuff like that…" he narrated so fast…

"Huh, Pardon? … But you know Grandpa… I kind of missed the days I was able to annoy you and pair you with so cute girls…" Mikan mocked.

"In which you would be jealous of afterwards…" he laughed.

"Silly… I didn't do that!" she denied.

"So you're still in the state of denial, huh?" he laughed even more.

"I am not, you Grandpa!" she answered back.

"Stop calling me Grandpa and I'll stop calling you a brat…" he said.

"Really? Well, alright then…" she nodded.

"Deal?" he asked.

"Deal." She agreed.

"I missed you still…" they both said in unison…

Author's End Notes: This happened to me a long time ago, an old flame which didn't burn right.

Darn. I remembered him again. :( It's sad. I really really really did like him. But I guess not everything happens the way you wanted it to. :(

Homily of Love

Actually, I got this letter from the girl friend of my brother. I liked it so I edited. :D

Loving is hard especially when you haven't experience love… how it works and how it destroys…

Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura.

Author's Note: this is a love letter I found a long time ago. And because I loved it, I'm sharing it to all of you…

Another one shot fiction…

Homily of Love

---

"It has been a long time since I was able to open this box… the only thing that kept reminding me of your existence… I miss you, my beloved…" Sakura was whispering these words as she searched for the letter she wrote years before… the letter she wasn't able to deliver.

When you think of your past love, you may, view it as a failure. But when you find a new love, you view the past as a teacher. In the game of love it doesn't really matter who won or who lost. What is important is you know when to hold on and when to let go!

"I still remember how you helped me cope after I had broke my heart with my first love… you were there to mend the wounds I kept inflicting on myself…"

You know you really love someone you love when you want him or her to be happy. Even if their happiness means you're not a part of it. Everything happens for the best. If the person you love doesn't love you back, don't be afraid to love someone else again. For you'll never experience change unless you give it a try, okay?

"You said everything would turn out just fine, if I would just allow myself to move on…"

You'll never love a person you love unless you risk for love. Love strives in hurting, if you don't get hurt, you don't learn how to love. Love doesn't hurt all the time. Though the hurting is still there to be and there to test you, to help you grow. Don't find love, let love find you!

"You always told me that I would only know what love truly means when I am ready to accept that it hurt me and that even though it did, I would not want let go…"

That's why it's called falling in love, because you don't force yourself to fall, you just fall… you can't finish a book without closing its chapters… if you want to go on, then you have to leave the past but remember it to teach you as you advance in the future, to understand the present as well as you turn the pages…

"There was a time when you told me that before all this happened, it was already written a long time ago by the hands of our creator. You told me that all I have to do is take my role and wait… wait for what might come next…"

Love is not destroyed by a single mistake nor is won by a single caress… it is a lifetime venture in which we are always learning, discovering and growing… the greatest irony in love is letting go when you need to hold on, and holding on when you need to let go…!

"You were there when I was at my weakest. When I was about to give up on everything I thought I believed was right. You said that when growing a plant, you must not expect it to bear fruits as its first leaf blooms. You said that everything was predestined and that all there is left to do is wait…"

When you love someone you love, you are afraid to find someone else who can love you even more than you can love yourself. For you are afraid to feel the same pain that you felt when you last loved someone.

"You taught me never to compare. You said it was rude and unfair for that person if you compare him or her to the person who has hurt you and the person whom detest the most. For you said, no two persons are alike."

On falling out of love, it takes some time to heal and then you should always get back on the horse and continue the race… but don't ever make the same mistake of riding the same one that threw you the first time.

"It also you who said that when falling out of love for someone, if he or she has hurt you, you must never feel and grudge for that person. You must never condemn him or her. But always keep in mind not to fully trust that person again… nor give him or her another opportunity to hurt you even more…"

To love is to risk rejection, to love is to risk dying, to hope is to risk failure… but risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing at all… to reach for another is to risk involvement, to expose your feeling is to expose ones true self, to love is to risk not being loved in return…

"Once I was a selfish person who only want all things for myself, never putting in mind I had companions. But you told me that I must learn how to take risks… the risks of exposure so that I would grow… in order for me to be mature, I had to try everything I must. You said that it is not embarrassing to fail when one risks another, but it will give you knowledge and from that failure, I would learn even more…"

How to define love: Fall but don't stumble, be constant but not too persistent, love and share and never be unfair… always understand and try not to demand, hurt but never keep the pain

"It was never wrong to feel pain. But it is wrong to deprive other people the capability to help you. You said, no man is an island. And that I cannot live alone even though I wanted too. It was you who showed me that it takes two to tango and that you must learn to understand your partner so that you could dance smoothly… same as life… so that you could live life beautifully…"

Love is like a knife. It can stab the heart or it can carve wonderful images into the soul that can always last for a lifetime. Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feeling. It should inspire and give you strength…

"In this world everything has an equivalent; all things have their opposite in order to maintain balance… you said that love is like a knife, it may cut you deep or can leave beautiful images in you that would last for eternity."

But sometimes the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end. Loving people means giving them the freedom to whom they choose to be with and where they choose to be in. for all the heartaches and the tears, for gloomy nights and days and fruitless years, you should give Thanks, for you know that those were the things that helped you grow…

"It was you who was always there to remind me that in loving you should be mindful of the people around you. That I should always give thought to what other people has offered to me, what they had contributed to my growth…"

Loving someone means giving him or her the freedom to find his or her way, whether it leads towards you or away from you. Love is a painful risk to take but the risk must be taken no matter how scary or painful it may be for only then you'll experience the fullness of humanity and that is love.

"I can still remember clearly what you kept pointing out that love is something that can never be stolen from anyone… for it is what determines one's existence…"

Only love can hurt you, fill you with desire and tear you apart. Only love can make you cry and only love knows why.

"You said that love was an everlasting journey, cannot be measured nor explained. It was something that only two hearts can understand. It was a complicated situation wherein only the fittest survive."

If you're not ready to feel the pain, then you're not ready to fall in love. There was a time in my life that I was afraid to fall in love coz every time we do, we get hurt, and then I figured that's why it's called falling in love…

"… and lastly, you told me that when the right comes I can say that I had fallen in love and hurt and then realized that the reason why people say they have fallen in love was because they didn't force themselves to fall, they just did. And now, wherever you are, my beloved Syaoran… I love you and I have deeply fallen in love with you and the person you've become after you've been by my side."

Author's End Notes: Hayy. Why has love always been the issue? Anyway, it's the only thing that keeps me going on, let's just go on with it to get it done with. Been there. Done that.

---

I always wanted to say that I would never like to fall in love. But actually, it's not true. I would definitely want to fall, but I don't want to fall in love with the wrong person again. Its hard when the love story you dreamed about is actually one sided. LOL. Oh well, let's charge it to experience. At least I loved and got hurt. Rather than not being able to love at all. :D

Heart For Sale

When a person's heart goes on sale it doesn't matter who the heck is the buyer as long as he/she will pay the price for it and it's a up to eternity's guarantee!

Heart for Sale

---

"Tomoyo! It's been a while since I've seen that pretty face of yours…" a brown-haired girl run towards the sophisticated looking girl who was pulling 2 bags full of surely new designs for the upcoming show 2 weeks from now.

(A/n: I can't really describe things in short sentences…)

"Oh my God! Sakura-chan!" she drops her bag and runs toward the jolly looking figure who greeted her earlier.

Tomoyo hugs Sakura ever so tightly. As if they hadn't seen each other for decades or maybe centuries. Both of them blush in different shades of red. Indeed they had missed each other.

"Uhm, Tomo-chan, you can let go now… it's a bit tight you know…" Sakura said as she pretends to choke.

"You silly girl, we haven't seen each other for about 2 years and that's what you tell me?" Tomoyo giggles as she adds, "…good thing I still have my video cam AND I now have a new model for my clothes for this coming competition!" she laughs a little.

Sakura looks a little pale and scratches her head.

"Don't tell me you're going to let me wear those designs of yours AGAIN? No no… Tomoyo-chan I don't think so!" Sakura said as she picks up Tomoyo's bag and runs out the airport.

Tomoyo gets her other bag and chases after Sakura with her video cam rolling. Still with twinkles in her eyes, just like the old days, when she was with Sakura in her adventures in gathering up the Clow cards and then turning them to Sakura cards. She missed her friend a lot. The excitement in her eyes whenever Sakura was ready to wear her designed clothes, the action she sees at every angle, the people she meets, the friends she makes, and something crosses her mind… the heartache she felt…

She stops running when she saw Sakura chatting with her mother, Sonomi Daidouji, and Syaoran holding Sakura's hand. She felt a cold tear drop her. Seeing them all happy when she returns was the most precious gift she received. But something, no, someone crosses her mind… she sees his face… his every so captivating eyes looking as blank as ever, his pale yet cunning lips, his gentle touch… She shakes her head in disapproval. That's the part of her past she doesn't want to return to. Return to remember the sad memories of her undying past… with him…

"Tomoyo dear lets go…" her mother waves at her to enter their white limousine.

She gasped.

'No why white? Should I see this cursed color? Never mind, it's all in the past for me and him… ne?' she thought as she entered the car quietly.

She smiled palely as she looks at her friends who came just to see her once again. They were chatting which each other. Suddenly her phone rang. Who could this unexpected caller be?

"Yes, hello?"

"May I speak with Ms. Tomoyo Daidouji?"

'This voice, can this be possible? No, Tomoyo don't jump into conclusions… How could he call you, don't be stupid.' she thought.

"Yes, this is she."

"Tomoyo…"

"May I know who this is?"

"Don't you remember me? Or do you choose to forget?"

"Look, I don't know who you are sir that's why I asked, so please introduce yourself." She said calmly.

"It's me, Hiragizawa Eriol." He said flatly.

"Eri-kun?" she almost cracked the windows of the car due to her shrieking.

"Hey don't shout at the telephone." He giggled, "Nice to talk to you again."

"You scared me I thought it was somebody else…" her voice drifted away she knew damn right she faking this.

"You thought I was Momoshiro… was that it?"

"NO. So where are you, ERI-kun?" she tried to change the topic.

The car stopped because they arrived at the Daidouji mansion. Sakura tugged Tomoyo sleeve.

"SO you don't want to talk about it. I'm right here open your door."

"What are you saying? I don't want to. I still haven't moved on…" she said calmly.

"What? I said open your door I'm here!"

Eriol knocked at Tomoyo's car door. He smirked, and then he laughed. He looked at her straight in the eyes. As if saying, 'I know what you were talking about'.

(A/n: how I love hot chocolate in the middle of a cold night… just sharing.)

Tomoyo dragged herself out of the car even though she was too embarrassed.

"What are you looking at? Hmpf!" she walked right in to the door.

A dozen of maids opened the door and greeted her.

"Welcome back, Ms. Tomoyo…" they all said in unison.

Sakura dragged Syaoran inside. She turned to Eriol and invited him in.

"Do sit down Eriol. I'm sorry for Tomoyo's sudden behavior. By the way I didn't know you were arriving as well?" Sakura sited beside Syaoran.

"Yes, you should've told us so that we could've fetched you at the airport." Syaoran added.

"If I did, then it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?" Eriol giggled.

'It is quite unusual for him to giggle… why has he changed?' Tomoyo eyed on Eriol before she climbed the staircase.

"You're really unpredictable Eriol. I'll just leave you for a while I'll just go and check on Tomoyo." Sakura excused herself.

She climbed up the stairs to Tomoyo's room. She was about to open the door when she heard Tomoyo talk to somebody over the phone.

"Why the heck did you call?" Tomoyo shouted at the unknown caller.

And after a short pause…

"Now you're asking why I'm talking to you like this… or do I talk to anyone in this manner?" she said as she raised her voice in a way Sakura never heard or saw her do.

She paused again…

"You know why? It's because you taught me to be like this! You're a hideous monster!" Sakura felt the anger in Tomoyo's voice.

It was a very short silence…

"Now you're asking why I'm saying you're a monster? Just shut up! You shouldn't have called! Who told you I came back?" she yelped.

"Naoko? You know what Momoshiro, I hate you! Forever! BYE!"

And she heard Tomoyo threw her phone to her bed. She quickly opened the door and rushed to Tomoyo's side.

"What happened? Cheer up, Tomo-chan, everybody's waiting for you…" Sakura tried to lessen the tension.

She had known about Tomoyo and Momoshiro's relationship. As the matter of fact, she was one of the people who never agreed with it. But of course due to Tomoyo's demands she allowed them to pursue it. She had also heard of their breakup, which was a tragic scene in Tomoyo's life.

Momoshiro was a relative of their friend Naoko. She introduced him to Tomoyo, who on the other hand easily fell for him. Why? It's because Momoshiro and Eriol looked alike, very much alike. The timing was superb as well! Eriol had left for England because he wanted to follow Kaho. He was madly in love with her that he ignored Tomoyo's affection for him.

Also, because of that incident, Touya, Sakura's big brother, was heartbroken. He too was in love with Kaho. She was his childhood sweetheart. It was such a tragic event. Almost everybody was hurt by the events.

So back to Tomoyo's love story with Momoshiro…

When Tomoyo fell in love for the second time, at first she was reluctant about it. She didn't want to get hurt again… but Momoshiro persistent about it. He too had fallen head over heels for her. It got more complicated when Naoko found out because she too had kept on annoying Tomoyo about it and convince her that Momoshiro won't hurt her. To make the long story short, Tomoyo gave in to their demands (as if she didn't like it at first) then they thought everything would go out just fine.

All was well until one petty evening before Tomoyo was about to leave Japan, she spotted Momoshiro 'making nice chats' with a girl she doesn't know. Of course she confronted him and gave him a fair yet painful slap on the face. He was about to reason out when Tomoyo cut him off saying; "Get your dirty paws off me we're finished!" and with that she left.

Sakura knows how hard it is for Tomoyo to move on. She was also taken aback because of Eriol's presence. Why is he here in Japan, haven't he patched things up with Kaho?

"Tomoyo. Stop. You know that it is not fair for yourself to hurt like this. He doesn't deserve you, okay?" Sakura tried calming her friend.

"I'm okay now Sakura. I guess its time to get back on the horse and win this race. Maybe I'll just have to put my heart on auction." She said after continuous sighs of relief.

They both laughed at this.

"Come to think of it, why don't we try it. Let's auction a blind date with THE Tomoyo Daidouji." Sakura said excitedly.

"Wait. Wait. How will we do it?" Tomoyo was curious.

The girls were still giggling when they headed downstairs. Syaoran and Eriol were having a good chat when they arrived at the living room.

"So you boys had a nice chat while we were away?" Sakura said as she hugged Syaoran from the back.

"Oh there you are Sakura. Actually we did. Eriol told me a lot about his vacation in Europe. Right Eriol?" Syaoran said as he looked meaningfully at Eriol.

"Oh really now." Tomoyo said as she sat down beside Sakura.

"Yes Tomoyo-chan, I did. Europe was such a beautiful place to explore. I'd like to take you there too you'd like." Eriol said as he smiled or rather grinned at Tomoyo.

Sakura and Syaoran laughed.

"Eriol-kun, don't take my Tomoyo away from me too soon, she just got home to Japan." Sakura said as she hugged Tomoyo possessively.

"Of course not, my madam." He laughed with them too.

"Well then since everybody has something to share, I might as well share something too." Tomoyo said. Before speaking again she made sure everybody was listening. "… me and Sakura are planning to hold an auction this coming Saturday for the orphanage. And we are planning to auction blind dates with all the available young ladies of our batch."

Syaoran and Eriol looked shocked.

"Wait a minute. Are you going to be auctioned too Sakura?" Syaoran asked.

"Of course I am. I am single and not yet married after all." She giggled.

"Oh shit. Looks like Saturday night is going to cost me big time." He grinned.

"Well Tomoyo, are you in it too?" Eriol asked.

"I am still single Eri-kun so its but normal for me to be there too." Tomoyo -answered in a as-the-matter-of-fact-I-am tone. "Well then, I'm tired and we have to get ready before Saturday so Syaoran-kun and Eri-kun, we would like you both to leave. We'll just contact you when Saturday comes.

"Okay." They both said in unison.

"Tomoyo. Let's get to work." Sakura said.

Saturday night. The night of the auction.

The party has already started when Syaoran and Eriol arrived. Tomoyo and Sakura together with Rika, Naoko, Momo, Chiharu and the other girls were backstage wearing their gowns and waiting to be called to stage.

When it was Sakura's turn to be auctioned, Rika called her.

"Sakura-chan, you're next. Good luck." Rika said as she kissed her cheek.

"Thank you Rika-chan." Sakura looked back at Tomoyo. "Here I go…"

"And now for our 15th young lady, Ms. Sakura Kinomoto. The bidding starts at 15,000 YEN." The emcee introduced.

"16,000 YEN." A man in blue said.

"20,000 YEN." The man in green shouted.

"25,000 YEN." The man in blue yelled.

"25,000 YEN anyone higher?" the emcee called out.

"50,000 YEN." Everybody was shocked. It was the highest bid so far. It came from the man in green.

"50,000 YEN. Anyone higher?" a pause. "None? 50,000 YEN, Sold to the man in green." The emcee motioned for the people to clap.

Sakura entered backstage and rushed to Tomoyo.

"Tomoyo! Someone bought my night for 50,000 YEN!" they both jumped in delight.

"Alright go out there, it's your turn." Sakura helped Tomoyo up.

"And for our 16th, the last young lady to be auctioned, the one and only, Ms. Tomoyo Daidouji." The emcee introduced her.

Tomoyo walked down the catwalk and smiled at everyone.

"Now the bidding starts at 20,000 YEN."

"25,000 YEN."

"30,000 YEN."

"35,000 YEN."

"50,000 YEN."

"60,000 YEN."

"So 60,000 YEN. Anyone bids higher?"

"100,000 YEN."

"100,000 YEN? You in the blue coat, are you sure?" the emcee called out.

"Of course I am. That precious lady is worth even more."

"Alright then, 100,000 YEN. Anyone higher?" pause. "Okay, sold to the man in blue coat. To all those who won, please get your prices at the guest room. Thank you for joining this auction and making it successful. Good Evening everybody and enjoy your night out." The emcee finished the ceremony.

"Oh my God. Tomoyo! 100,000 YEN. Who could this gentleman be?" Sakura hissed.

"I don't know, I still can't believe it." Tomoyo answered. "Anyway, who bought your night?"

"Who else? It was Syaoran. He said he can't afford seeing me with another guy." Sakura laughed.

"NUMBER 16. Please claim number 16." The attendant called out.

"Miss, I am your servant for tonight." The man in blue coat lend out his hand to kiss Tomoyo's hand.

"Uhm. Thank you for that… uhm, may I know your name?" Tomoyo asked. The voice seemed familiar.

"I am your Eri-kun…" he said as he removed his mask.

"Eri-kun…" she was teary eyed. "But how… why?"

"Hush. It had always been you, I was just too blind to see at first. I had to allow your heart to be broken first, I'm so sorry. Don't worry I'm here now, you don't have to have your heart for sale. Coz I'm willing to buy you everyday."

And with that, they kissed.

Author's End Notes: the ending was so… CHEESY. Hahaha. Anyway… hope you enjoyed it. By the way, my heart's on sale too.

This was one of the stories I wrote that I liked. :) I never thought I had thoughts like these before.. :) Too bad this would never happen to me. :( oh well, my OWN love story is yet to be written.

-> kate. RED. star.~

Head Start

Good Morning. :) Well, first of all, I want to breathe well and say that this is my first entry. I'm not really sure what to write so far. I have too many thoughts in my head. And add that is 5:30am right now and I would be late for our 6:30am call time at school. :) We have a show today and I'm quite nervous about it too. So I'll be going back later to write EVERY thought I have long wished to write. :) See you all soon in the up coming pages of my life. :)

Hide and Seek

This is a short story I wrote before..

Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura.

Author's Notes: I'd wait until forever for someone who would say He found me…

Hide and Seek

---

I never thought that at an age like mine I would still be involved with such stuffs that no longer suits me. Yesterday as I was strolling down the long sidewalk of Tomoeda I saw five children running around and laughing. Somehow I was mesmerized by that sight. It had been a while since I've seen children happily playing around. It reminded me of my own childhood.

"Sakura! Come let's play! We brought a lot of toys with us!" Tomoyo my best friend shouted as she neared me.

"What did you bring Tomoyo?" I replied gleefully.

"I brought toys for babysitting and I also have kitchen stuffs!" she said as she arranged the toys in a single file.

"But I'm in no mood for those. I wanna play hide and seek." I pouted with that reason.

"Sakura! We played hide and seek yesterday. And it was boring. You were never even caught!" she teased me.

"You can't really catch her. She never wanted to be found." Syaoran said with a smile.

Sakura punched his arm. And he jerked at this.

"That was mean. You can't find me because I'm just good at hiding." I explained.

"Really? You're just afraid to get caught that's why!" Syaoran teased her more.

"Am not!" she answered back, already annoyed by his teasing.

"Yes you are!" he fought back.

"Stop it the both of you!" a tall brunette shouted at them.

"Naoko!" the three shouted in unison.

They were shocked to see Naoko home earlier than usual.

"Come on let's just play hide and seek. So that there would be no more fights." Tomoyo finally said.

"bleeh!"Sakura let her tongue out at Syaoran.

They were getting ready for the game. As Chiharu counted one to ten, each of them hurried and run around to find a good hiding place. Syaoran, secretly followed Sakura as she looked for a hiding place that no one would ever think existed. She looked around looking if someone would see her. She sneaked inside the bird house and covered herself with the cloth that was there. Syaoran followed her inside carefully so that she won't be able to notice him there. He hid behind the nests of the birds which was a few steps away from Sakura.

"TEN!" they heard Chiharu shouted from outside. "Ready or not here I come!"

She searched carefully for her playmates, using eagle's eye as she looked around. As if having x-ray vision, she quickly found Momo who was hiding behind the bushes. And next she found Rika who was behind the kitchen door, after she found Tomoyo who was on top of the big mango tree, and then Naoko who was beside the washing machine. Only two left before the game is finished, Syaoran and Sakura.

"Syaoran. Sakura! Where are you?" Chiharu shouted.

It was almost 10 minutes after she found Naoko, but still Syaoran and Sakura could not be found. Everybody started looking. They looked behind the dog house, under and inside the car, over the roof, inside the garage, over the fence. They were exhausted looking here and there; still the two were nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile…

'Now I know why she can't be found. She sees to it that no one besides her knows her hiding place.' Syaoran grins at this idea.

He slowly gets out of his hiding place and nears Sakura. The girl, not knowing she has a companion inside the bird house is silently giggling at the thought that no one can find her. Syaoran touches Sakura's shoulder.

"I found you… now step out of your circle… Haha" he said.

"Waaaaaahhhhhhh?" Sakura shrieked.

Everybody came rushing to the bird house. And they see Sakura scared to death while Syaoran was laughing uncontrollably.

"What happened, why were you shouting!" Naoko and the others said worried.

"That bastard scared me! I was here, alone, hiding then he went here just to tease me! Err." Sakura was so annoyed she stood up and walked out of the bird house and left the laughing Syaoran and the others.

She headed to her house, up the roof and lied down.

"I can't believe he found me! That good for nothing…" she stopped talking. 'What did I just say? He fa-found me?' finally her words registered to her head. "Someone found me…" she smiled…

I laughed as I remembered what happened in my past. It really was a memory to remember even for the rest of my life. "Finally, that was the first time I heard someone say he found me. Err I wish I could hear it again." I said to myself as I was walking. Somehow, those children I saw reminded me of my past, the past that I was trying to forget. Yet I could never even remove from my thoughts.

Funny, people think being a kid is a waste of time. People often refer to playing as foolishness. As for me, I want to be a kid again. I want to experience those things once more. And most of all, I would give anything just to hear someone say, "I found you…" to me… and only me…

Author's End Notes: Err someday I'm going to find that someone who makes me laugh, giggle, and smile all at the same time. And when I find him, believe me, I would never let go.

---

There are a lot of experiences in my life that happened because I wanted them to take place. But there are also those that didn't because I wasn't fit to experience it. But one of my dreams would be, to be surprised someday because somehow had claimed he found me. :)

Ride home

It almost 6:00 in the evening when my friends decided to head home. Rj wasn't able to get his scholarship letter, Jona and Dandreb no longer went to the free concert at the gym. Lira wanted to go home too. Karen and Kim just chatted along... and I was the KJ among them. Not only because my name starts with K and J but I kept bugging them to go home with me. I really wanted to go home early today. I was very tired. The past week is like hell. Not that I didn't want it. I was happy. But tired. I am but only human. :) So, when we decided to walk the long street on the way to the jeepney parks, I scanned the place I was in. It was a long time since I've last when to the Main Building of our University. Our College was a separate building so I didn't really had the need to go there. Everything was new again. Oh well, when we reached the jeepney park, I was given the privilege to choose the jeepney we would be riding in. Of course I was familiar with which one were faster. HAHA. Its years of experience. So I choose the one named "Tungaw" the black version. It was like a roller coaster ride only for 8.00 php. There were a lot of "sabit" the guys who think they are cool and they hold on the bars at the end of the jeep not even bothering to enter. Also those women who flirt with them and think they are too beautiful and sexy to be resisted upon. The scene was like; "Hi what's yer name?" the guy asks. "Shane." the girl giggles and shakes hand with him. It was irritating. REALLY frustrating to see people live life that way. So carefree. So uncalled for. And very flirty. I don't know if insecurity bit my head off back there. Not because I'm not pretty. But because I'm not SEXY. But of course, I know for a fact that even if I was sexy, I wouldn't be flirty like that. Darn women nowadays. So easy to get. It's frustrating. How could a girl spank and hold hands with a guy she barely talks to in 3 minutes. >.< Oh well, I can't argue with their way of thinking. Its their lives they're throwing away. Not mine. It was raining hard when I arrived home. I was soaked in the cold rain. Darn. It seemed like my umbrella had little holes in it. And it's still raining.. I remember a lot of memories long forgotten. Fooey. UPDATE. Of course no one is reading my page as of now. haha. It's newly made and so, I would be moving all my written files here at my blog and save everything. :) yey. Finally, something to be busy with. :) -- a penny for yer thoughts.~ kate.red.star
