CHAPTER II

Stepping to the Cold

 

Sakura walked through the halls after going to the tree like the other days. Her friends walked up to her and dragged her to their classroom. She was surprised as to why she was pulled into the classroom. Tomoyo, her best friend, looked at her, surveyed her and even checked her temperature. Sakura pushed her had away and said, “Why did you do that for?!” “I thought you were sick after you decided to hang out with Li during breaks.” Tomoyo knew Li. Li was a person to be feared. With such power at such a young age, he is playing God over their lives. “What do you mean, Tomoyo?” Sakura asked. All she knew of Li was his name and where he lived.

 

Her friends looked on the ground. They were thinking on how they should describe him. Chiharu stepped up and breathed deeply. “Li came from the most powerful Li clan. Since the death of his father, he was given the power since he was the heir. Li clan can kill and get away with it. They hold such importance to the world which is why they can do what they want. They could erase us from the world if they wanted to, I mean literally. All data, records, relationships and all the other things that define us will be gone. Don't you see that? He was given that much power at such an early age. Sakura don't you see?!” Silence was the response. Sakura thought hard and deep. The others were waiting eagerly for her to say `I will leave him alone.' Sakura finally said, “How sad it must be? His father died and without his knowing, he was given a burden normally a kid couldn't handle.” Her friends couldn't believe her. Was she listening? Didn't she hear? He could kill us with a flick of his hand and there she was thinking of his dead father and his overwhelming weight of responsibility?!

 

Her friends sighed, apparently admitting defeat. Sakura smiled again thinking of another plan to make Li say a word to her. All she wanted was another friend.

 

Classes ended and everybody ran out of the classroom like their life depended on it. Li, however, walked slowly to the door after everyone has passed. Outside the door waited Sakura. She smiled and said, “Can I walk home with you?” Li just stared and proceeded to walk home. What is she thinking now? She's like everybody else. Sakura followed. Silence was all you can hear. “Gomen,” Sakura said. Li stopped in his tracks and stared with confusion at the girl. “Gomen for your loss.” What?! What is she thinking? “It must be hard on you to lose a loved one.” She bowed as a form of condolence. She was the first to feel sorry for the loss, everybody else wanted them dead. She stared at her eyes for a while, to see if she was faking. No, she wasn't. Sincerity filled her eyes. He walked once again and she followed closely.

 

Everyday was the same. They would stay in the same tree during breaks; Sakura is still talking to him even though he won't answer. They would walk home together with more talking from Sakura. Time passed by and next thing they knew, it was winter.
