Chapter 3: Sudden Fall and Discovery
(by Kasawa Lanford, added on 2005-09-29 08:52:04 AEST) [Discussion Topic]
The blow took him by surprise, he had found himself flying through the fence, the same fence that was suppose to stop anyone from falling off the roof, but due to the force of the punch the fence couldn’t hold him
He went through the fence; one of the metal spoke’s jagging him in the arm. He began to fall but was suddenly stopped by a tree branch that had been in the way, he heard a snap upon hitting the branch and pain soared through his back. But he soon blacked out from the pain
A man stood on the roof and grinned at him, then took out what appeared to be a dagger and aimed it toward the branch. “Who are you?!” Came a yell from behind him
Sakura stood in the doorway, her hand was already on her wand and she already had a card out. “Pathetic little child,” The man said and disappeared, but not before throwing the dagger. Sakura ran over to the edge and saw the dagger cut the branch of the tree; Kasawa’s unconscious body fell from the tree and toward the ground below
“FLOAT!” She struck the card; a pink glow surrounded Kasawa and slowly lowered him to the ground below. Several students had heard the sudden break in the fence and looked around, then found Kasawa on the ground, one of the students ran to get the nurse while others where wondering what happened
The person who had attacked him was now on another roof. “Blasted child,” he said and lit a cigarette. “Looks like I’ll have to eliminate her first,” he took a puff before tossing the cigarette toward the ground below
Sakura looked over the edge and sighed in relief when she saw that Kasawa had floated down to the ground safely, although he was still hurting. She watched as the nurse dropped her med kit and began to work on him, after a sort time she picked him up and brought him to the clinic. Where she could work a little better without worrying about the heat
School soon ended and Sharia was waiting outside the gate’s, as she waited she heard what some of the students had been saying, about how another student had been attacked earlier that day and was in the clinic recovering. She couldn’t help but get that gut feeling; she walked through the hall’s passing a few students who glanced at her then returned to chatting amongst themselves. She walked into the office and looked around; the lady there looked at here. “Something I can do for you?”
She was about to say something when she heard brothers name find him
“What do you think Tomoyo? It’s not normal from someone to attack someone that, and besides, Kasawa is a harmless person,” Sakura said as she and her best friend, Tomoyo, walked by the office. Sharia suddenly bolted out of the office and after the two girl’s, catching up to them as they left the gate
“Hey! Wait!” Sharia said
Sakura stopped and looked at the strange girl. “Something I can do for you?”
“I heard you say my brothers name… Kasawa…” She said in between breaths
Tomoyo nodded. “Yes we did, he was hurt earlier today, but strangely enough the nurse had him sent to the hospital, that’s where my friend and I where going,”
She stared at the young girl. “Why?”
Sakura smiled. “Because he’s nice, and besides,” she turned around. Something wasn’t right about that attack, and it felt like another force was involved, but I can’t tell her that,but little did she know she wouldn’t need to, “Another force?” Sharia said, not even realizing she had just read Sakura’s mind out loud.”…….” Sakura just stood there for awhile; Tomoyo looked at both her and Sharia a few times before going to think about what just occurred. “Déjà vu?” she said
That was not déjà vu and Sharia knew it, she had read Sakura’s mind but forgot to shield the thought from her mouth and accidentally said it instead of just thinking it. “No, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to”
Sakura stood there a little longer before finally speaking up. “Perhaps it was déjà vu,” Sakura finally said and put her skate’s on. “Anyway if you want to join us I don’t mind,” she said and began to skate a bit
Sharia nodded and walked with them, it took them a few minute’s before they arrived at the children hospital. Sharia asked the lady at the desk and she pointed them in the right direction, it didn’t take long for them to get to the room that her brother was in, hooked up every machine that she could even think of. A doctor walked out of the room, “You his guardian?”
“I am, how’s he doing?” Sharia asked. The doctor looked at the two girls with her and gestured for her to follow him for awhile, after the two where around the corner he stared at her. “I don’t understand it myself, he’s got two cracked ribs, one of those cracks ribs went through his right lung, the only reason he’s alive is because of the breather”
She sighed and took it all in at once, “I see….” She finally said and looked toward the room, she knew someone from there past had come back to haunt them… but who? That question stayed on her mind after she got and for the rest of the night, she couldn’t sleep knowing that someone had attacked her brother, for no reason
Her little sister was sleeping just fine though, but some of the thing’s she said when she told her what had happened to her brother where very harsh and she almost slapped her in the process, but held back, knowing that it wasn’t the right thing to do, but she did wonder how such a little girl could say those thing’s about her own big brother
The next day Sharia stayed home, but her little sister went school anyway. Sakura came to the door, “Hi Sharia!” she said. Sharia had asked Sakura to use her first name, made thing’s eaiser since her last name was a lot harder to pronounce, most people just used ‘Mas’ instead of the full name, which was more than 30 characters long
“Good day Kinomoto-san,” Sharia said. “Misaki-chan!” She yelled and after awhile Misaki came down the stairs, ready for school. She stared at sakura then turned around, “I have to walk with that idiot?” she said
Sharia grew red, and Sakura noticed it. “… How rude…” she managed to kick herself from throwing that punch, Sakura just smiled. “It’s ok… its ok Sharia-senpai..” Sakura said and Sharia just looked at her, “Just go to school and come back ok?”
Misaki looked away, mad at her elder sister for having someone else take her to school, she felt she could do it by herself. But she decided to just please her sister and walk with Sakura, the two soon left, Sakura wasn’t wearing her skate’s this time instead opting to walk.. although naturally her big brother was watching her without her knowing
“Misaki, why’d you-“
“Call you a idiot?” Misaki said with a smile. “Cause I felt like it, you seem like one and thus I have no idea what my brother had in mind when he said sorry,” she sighed
“You realize that’s rude right?”
“And I should care.. why? Just because I’m younger?” Misaki said in a rude tone, Sakura sighed once more and tried to keep her own anger in check, although naturally all these word’s coming out of a seven year olds mouth DID make her wonder what her parent’s where like
After a short while Misaki finally got tired of it. “I’m off,” she said and ran off. Sakura was about to run after her but when she saw Misaki’s school up ahead she decided not to and instead to go to her own school
She walked onto the grounds, but what she saw next sent fear through her mind, she saw blood everywhere, body’s, both student’s and adults alike. She looked around before seeing a figure clad in armor walking around, carrying a sword that was dripping with blood. She looked around frantically for an answer to what she was seeing but couldn’t find one, the figure then noticed her and walked toward her, she took a step back and when she tried to grab her key she noticed it wasn’t around her neck anymore. The figure stopped in front of her and took a swing with his sword
A scream was heard and she suddenly sat up, breathing heavily, she felt someone push her down and she looked around before seeing Tomoyo knelt down next to the bed. “To..moyo?” she said, she had a heard time speaking with such a serious headache said had
Tomoyo said something but she couldn’t hear it, she couldn’t make out.. was she deaf now? She saw the nurse walk into the room and put a wet cloth on her forehead, she then drifted back off to sleep
A few hours passed before she woke up again, this time in her own home. The door opened and her brother walked in, “How are you feeling?” he asked
Sakura blinked. “Ok.. I guess”
Her brother just shook his head. “Do you know what happened?” he asked
She knew what happened, but she didn’t know how to explain it, only that she felt light headed. “The nurse said you where found in the locker room collapsed, and you had a high fever,” Touya said and laid down a tray of food. “Get some rest, you’ll be staying home tomorrow”
“But! I’m fine, I said I was fine.” Sakura protested but Touya’s stare convinced her he was right. What DID she see what caused her to see that nightmarish scenario? She even talked it over with Kero he couldn’t figure it out either, but told her to becareful.. he also warned her about the young sister of Kasawa’s, that he felt something odd from her, and that she was to be careful around that girl
Sakura looked at Kero. “I will, don’t worry, everything will be alright,” she smiled before going to sleep. Kero just sighed
