Sakura Falls
By: Sorano
Chapter Eight
Sakura felt like she been dancing forever. She was in some Faerie land where time in non-existent. The night waltzed by her and Sakura lost herself in the music. What must have been hours later Sakura was jerked back to her world forcefully. She had asked if they could stop for a while, but Satoshi wasn't tired at all and wanted to keep dancing. "Let's get something to drink," Sakura said to him. He grinned sickly at her. "Sure, babe."
He led her inside the house. The outside of the house was nothing compared to the inside. It could've been a mansion if it weren't for the kids strewn all over the place and all the mess. A large fire was burning in the living room making the house uncomfortably hot. Sakura had to assume that Miyuko's parents wouldn't be home for awhile.
She would've liked to look around the beautiful house, but Satoshi lead her into the kitchen. A bunch of drunken teenagers were sitting on the counters and tables. Sakura recognized one of them-Limina-from school. She had gone to school with Limina since they were children and she knew her to a shy, bookworm, like her Naoko. It was surprising to see her dancing naked on top of the kitchen island while spectateurs cheered appreiciatively.
"Hi, Sakura-chan!" Limina yelled, giving her no attention but a little wave
"Limina? What-"
"Here, Sakura-chan," Satoshi said handing her a slick, brown bottle. "You'll like this kind. Its my 'tousan's special brand."
"Un, arigato." She stared at the bottle, running her fingers over the cold surface. She couldn't tell Satoshi she had never drunk before. She couldn't tell him she didn't want to. She tugged at the cap and it tore into her flesh.
"Like this, honey," Satoshi said with a smile, and demonstrated how to twist off the cap.
Sakura flushed and copied him. The liquid smelt awful, but she brought it up to her lips and poured a few drops down her throat. The stuff burned, making her eyes water. In her opinion, it was nothing short of poison.
She bit back a "eww" and it was hard not to make a face. People like this stuff?! People illegealy go through trouble to get stuff like this? She felt a little lightheaded, but it took her mind of the sick taste.
Satoshi flung a long, muscled arm over her shoulder and brought her in close, almost spilling her beer in the sudden movement. "See, what did I tell, you? Its good, ne?" He's smile widened and he pulled her away from the kitchen. "Lets go see what Admie brought."
"Brought? You mean like music?" Sakura wondered if they were going to dance some more. If they were, she wanted a break first. She felt a little tired.
Satoshi laughed. "You're so cute, Sakura-chan."
They found Miyuko's group by the pool. They girls had their long legs dangling into the water, and kept shooting nasty looks on the couples making out near them. Sakura and Satoshi sat down indian-style on the grass next to them and peered into the bag Amie held out.
"That's it?" Satoshi asked dully.
"What do you mean 'that's it'? I worked my ass off to get this for you guys! This is high quality stuff!"
"Remember what happened the last time you gave us 'high-quality' stuff?"
"Ara, shut up! I don't see you bringing in the shit!"
"So what did you bring?" Satoshi asked impatiently.
Miyuko glared at him and began to dig through her plastic ziplock. "Let's see…I have some acid…X. I was lucky Seiji had some left." Where did that name sound familiar from?
"Here, Sakura-chan, hold out your hand," pink-haired Sakia said. Sakura was unsure but did as she was told. Sakia popped two small white pills into her hand. The pills had two little red hearts painted over a skull. "Because its your first time, so we assume, you can have them free."
Sakura tried to push aside her growing fearing. "What is it?"
"The love drug. Ecstasy," she explained seeing Sakura's confused look.
"Ara, right. Of course."
Sakura put them on her tongue for a second, absorbing it's better taste, then swallowed it. She couldn't stop her face from contorting into a monstrious expression of her dislike. Though not as bitter and firey as the beer had been, X was nothing short of gross.
The group of teenagers snickered and patted Sakura on the back. "It's worth it, Sakura-chan. Ypu won't even notice the taste after a while." A light, fuzzy feeling of europhia washed over her. Why haven't I tried this before? She saw the LSD in the other bag. "Oooh, let me have some of those!" She pointed to the bag.
Admie gave her some, grinning with satisfaction. Sakura gulped them down. She had never felt so good in her life. She felt like she could do anything. She was free, and in control. She was powerful.
"This is fun," she said to her friends, words slurred.
"You bet it is. If you stick with us we can take you to amazing places." The world rolled around her, the colors all mushing together. Sakura felt like she could hear each color and see each sound. It was wonderful. Everything the girls said sounded beautiful. They were speaking some foreign language, and couldn't understand each other, but that didn't matter. They didn't need to hear, they were one. One mind, one love…
Sakura grabbed Satoshi's arm and pulled him to the pool. "Screw dancing!" She giggled and pushed him in the pool. Her friends waved as she jumped in. "Yippee!" There were thousands of creatures making out around her, but she didn't care. It was almost magical, everyone uniting with love in the pool. Sex wasn't bad. Sex was a poetic expression of happiness. Yes, sex is poetry.
She found Satoshi and kissed him. The two smiled at each other and dove under water. The rest of the evening passed in a blur for Sakura. She remembered after the pool she and Satoshi lay on the grass and stared. She examined each little blade of grass. It was beautiful. Nature was so beautiful tonight.

She woke up with one hell of a headache. She wiped the sleep from her eyes and groggily tried to lift her head. This wasn't her room. Where am I? She couldn't remember much from the previous night. Looking around all she could see was the hundreds of kids surrounding her, most asleep. Some were naked, and some were soaking wet.
Sakura managed to stand and fully take in her surrondings. She was at Miyuko's house. She was okay. She and Satoshi must have fallen asleep there. Sakura glanced at the clock and realized it was only eight o'clock. Still, she'd better get home before her father noticed she was gone.
Careful not to step on anyone, which was quite difficult considering the floor was littered with bodies, Sakura made her way over to the front door.
"Sakura-chan…Chotto…"a voice heaved from behind her. "Sakia-chan? Ohayo. I really have to go."
Her new friend grinned and nodded. "Un, I know. I just wanted to tell you…if you ever want more…I have a really great supplier. He's looking for new customers right now."
Sakura hadn't thought of that. Drugs wasn't something she had ever wanted to become involved in. From a young age it had been drilled into her head that drugs were bad. But they were so good…They were gonna be a one time thing. But…I love the way they make me feel. "Hm, can I have a number then?"
"I'll tell you at school. Later, Sakura-chan." With that, Sakia's head flopped back down on the plush sofa.
Sakura walked home, though she felt a little weird, she was still pretty high and in a very good mood. She was litteraly bouncing and singing off-key all the way down the street. She crawled through her window and crashed to the floor, waking up her small friend. "Ohayo, Kero-chan!"
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Sakura-chan. Did you have fun?"
"Yep! God, Kero-chan, it was the best! It was so, so, so much fun!!!"
"You're awfully cheerful this morning." Just like you used to be.
"Yeah! That's because the party was so cool! They had some great stuff there!" She caught we she said and covered her mouth, but Kero hadn't noticed.
"You got lucky, Sakura-chan. Your Otousan never came up to check on you. But I don't think you should sneak out too often any more. Not if you want to go to America." Sakura grinned at him. "I know, Kero-chan. Last night was just really important. I'm so glad I went. You know…I think you should've come! I think you would've loved it!"
Sakura rambled on about how great the party was as she changed into more casual clothes. She washed off her makeup and took down her hair. Except for the fact that she was a little pale, nobody would be able to guess she'd been out partying. Her body did not tell the internal tale of nausea.
She was still talking as she slammed the door in Kero's face. Fujitaka was sitting at the table with the paper and Touya was cooking breakfast when Sakura skipped in. "Ohayo, 'touchan!" Sakura cried and kissed him on the cheek.
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Sakura-chan," said a very startled Fujitaka.
Sakura flung herself on her brother as well and placed and giant smack on his cheek. "Ohayo, niichan!"
"Eww, kaijuu!"
Sakura just giggled and sat down at the table.
"You're in a good mood this morning," Fujitaka remarked.
"Yep!"
Fujitaka smiled and felt a bit of relief seep into him. Perhaps he wouldn't have to worry about Sakura anymore.
"Do you want some bacon and eggs, Sakura-chan?" Fujitaka asked his daughter.
"Yep! Lots! I'm really hungry!"
"Tell me when to stop," Touya had brought over the frying pan and began to load food onto her plate. Sakura never told him to stop and he stopped when the plate was almost overflowing.
"Kaijuu …are you gonna be able to eat all that?" her brother asked dubiously.
"Of course!" She giggled and dove into her food.
The two men exchanged glances, neither of them could figure out why Sakura was acting like this. They would have to blame it on typical teenage moodswings. Fujitaka was sure he had read about it in a parenting magazine somewhere.
"Sakura-chan," Touya said. "Yukito-san is arriving this afternoon."
Sakura grinned. "That's great!" She hadn't seen her brother's friend in over a year.
"He's got a girlfriend now, you know."
Sakura's smile never faltered. "That's good." Seeing her brother's surprised expression, she added," I got over that little crush a long time ago, Onnichan. Me 'n him are just friends now."
"You'd better be. I don't want you glomping him the whole time."
Sakura giggled. "Would I do that?" She ate her last piece of bacon and retreated to her room, so quickly no one could be sure she had ever been there at all.
Her family stared after her, not quite sure of what they'd witnessed. "That was…" Touya said.
"Different." Fujitaka finished off the sentence.
Sakura meant to head to her bedroom but suddenly a strong desire pushed her to a different room. She flung up the toilet seat and promptly threw up her entire breakfast. The high fading, she felt sicker than ever before in her life. "Oh, man…" when she was done she lay against the wall weakly.
Kero came in and stared at her with wide eyes. "Sakura-chan?" He saw the toilet and groaned. "Sakura-chan, you didn't…"
Sakura shrugged, turned green and vomited again. Kero had to look away; it totally grossed him out to see people be sick. Someone, obviously not Kero, scooped up Sakura's hair away from her face and held her head until she was done.
Sakura wiped her mouth on her sleeves and turned to stare into the angry, concerned eyes of Touya.
"Onnisan…"Sakura whispered. "I don't feel very well."
"I know, Sakura-chan," he said as he helped her up. Supporting her with arm, he led her to her room and told her to get into bed. He brought her the necessary bucket and went off in search of asprin.
What am I going to do with you, Sakura-chan? I can't let you go the same way as Okaasan. Ara, 'kaachan, please stop her from your fate.
