Love With Fate

By Margaret Li

Chapter Six

Sakura's nightmare

The dark beam hit Li and Sakura and destroyed everything he had in all their lives. They screamed really hard and they could even see themselves becoming totally a fool, just like there’s a mirror in front of them. Their eyes became red then orange and went through all the colors in the rainbow and so are their faces. Finally, they looked at each other, even though they’re in such pain and maybe they’ll never meet again but they’re very happy for their past. Then they fainted, Yin and Yang put them into the same school but they didn’t know each other. Since that dark magic destroyed Li and Sakura’s relationships, Yin and Yang didn’t have to worry about them so they’re doing something really serious, something to do with destroying.

 When Sakura woke up, she’s in her room, and all those things that happened to her seemed to be messier to her. So she got over it and got dressed. “I’m late for school again!” Sakura did the same things she used to do in elementary school, Tori isn’t there and Julian isn’t there either. All Sakura had was her dad handing over her lunch and she put on roller blades and catching up on Madison. “Sakura, I thought you weren’t coming.” “Madison, please, you know me, I’m always late.” “It’s okay Sakura, I might have to get use to it because you’re going to be like that throughout the year!” Sakura chuckled and they walked to school.

School is same as usual, Li is there and everyone else is. Everyone else is fake except for Li and Sakura and everyone else is much nicer than they should be. Sakura got burned in Cooking Class and Madison got band-aid for her and Li gave her his medicine. “Oh, thanks Li.” “You’re too young to call my real name, kid.” ‘Oh, sorry.” Sakura didn’t mind because everyone else is nice, Li is the only one’s mean. Another lazy day went over, Sakura is getting kind of tired of everyone being nice to her so she went to sleep after she ate her dinner alone. Her dad is working more often in the museum than at home so Sakura is on her own, after all, she’s a teenager and she could take care of herself.

She finished reading the book her teacher wanted them to do a report on, “Love With Fate” by Margaret Li. Sakura began to think about how her report is going to be so she started doing homework in her pajamas. Then her cells phone ring, it was Madison. “Sakura, what do you doing?” “I wanted to go sleep because I was tired but then I finished reading the last chapter of “Love With Fate” then I began to do my homework. I was about to set up my alarm and wake up 4 or 5 clock in the morning and do my homework but now I think I’m going to do my homework first.” “Oh, I knew you couldn’t wake up that early.” “Madison!” “Sorry Sakura. Since you’re doing your home, I’m bumped on our history homework. You don’t have to look in your book because I know you’re good at history. Who created Magic? It’s a multiple choice: A: God B: Fairies C: Clow Reed D: Magic itself” “I don’t know Madison, but I’m interested in C. I don’t know who’s Clow Reed but I think he’s very famous.” “Okay, I’ll go by that, see you tomorrow!” “Sure.”

A flash went through Sakura’s mind, “Clow Reed, what a unique name, I wonder who is that.” But then Sakura got back to her homework. She spent an hour doing all her other work and she began doing her book report. “In this particular romantic story, ‘Love With Fate’, the author, Margaret showed how strong Love could be.” Sakura got stuck and she doesn’t know how to write now. So she kept on swinging the pencil and starring out the window. She saw the light on the Ratio Tower and she have this vision that a fly monster around her on a big building next to the Ratio Tower. “Huh?” “Sakura, I’m home!” “Dad, come up!” “What’s wrong Sakura?” “Look at Ratio Tower, do you see me and a flying monster around me?” “No, Sakura, I think you’re tired, you should go to sleep.” “Maybe I am.” “It’s ten already, you should get some sleep, tomorrow is another day and your report isn’t due until next month.” “Okay, good night dad.” “Good night Sakura.” Sakura kissed her dad on the cheek and cleared up her stuff and shut the light and got in bed.

She’s still thinking about the vision of her on the top building near Ratio Tower and soon she fell in sleep. In her dream, there’s a lot about Li and Kero. Sakura is going through a lot of pain and she’s sweating, moving around her bed and finally her dad came in. “Sakura, what is all that noise? What happened?” “Dad, I just had a nightmare.” “Sakura, don’t be a baby, people have nightmares all the time, don’t let it disturb you, after all, it’s almost seven, why don’t you get up and be early for a change.” “Thanks dad.” “You’re welcome.”

Sakura got up, getting into her uniform, and got into the bathroom. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. She’s very skinning of cheerleading and she’s half five feet tall with big green eyes and brown hair half to her thon. She searched for pimples for the first time but there isn’t any. She braded her hair and brushed her teeth. Then she moisturized her face and got downstairs to eat breakfast.

“Feeling better Sakura?” “Yeah, I certainly did.” “I could see that, you got a new hair style. You use just tie your hair up high.” “Yeah dad, today in school we’re going to have a contest and we cheerleaders have to cheer for them.” “Oh, then get ready, it’s seven.” Sakura put on her backpack and walked out. Madison just passed her house and saw Sakura in surprise.

“Sakura? You okay? It’s the first time you didn’t roller blade and this is the first time you’re early.” “Madison, it’s a long story, I’ll tell you on our way to school, which is right now.” “So what happened?” “Well, it’s nothing big, I didn’t break anything, I just had a nightmare.” “Nightmares never bothers you don’t they.” “Not usually but this is different, it’s about some people I didn’t even cared.” “Tell me all about it.” “Okay.”

“First I was on a top building wearing a pink suit and a weird wand in my hand. It has wings and there’s a flying golden monster that’s flying next to me. Weird cards flying down the sky and I saw a vision in shadow. Then when I jumped, everything changed and I’m in elementary with Li and the same golden monster. I don’t know why and I never cared about Li. They began fighting because of something called ‘Clow Cards’. I don’t’ know what are those and why they’re fighting over it but I seemed cared in my dream and I was crying so hard and my dad woke me up.”

“Sakura, remember that question I asked you last night? About Clow Reed? Maybe it’s related to Clow Cards.” “You’re totally right Madison! I didn’t realize that. I don’t know what to do Madison, I have this strange feeling that I’m involved with all those and the golden beast with wings, Keroberos, he taught me all about Clow Cards and the magic within. Oh…” Sakura just realized that she remembered something and she wanted to know more. “Madison, maybe something happened to my brain that I couldn’t remember a thing about Clow Cards and stuff but I definitely know that Li knows something.” “Why don’t we ask Li about it?” “Sure, that would be great, I’m very interested in this.” “Yeah.”

When they got to school, they started class. Lazy day as always and when they got to lunch, Sakura and Madison walked over to Li and Brian to ask something. “Li, can I ask you something?” “No, I’m not going to the dance with you tomorrow afternoon.” Brian just laughed. Li acted like he’s a fool and a total jerk. Sakura is now mad. Yin and Yang’s magic finally worked.
