Lost Heart

Chapter One

Sakura Kinomoto lay asleep in her small apartment, the soft sounds of her rhythmic breathing filling her bedroom. Sakura's eyes fluttered open as the morning sunlight cut through the blinds on the window. She yawned and rolled over.

"Good Morning!" chimed Kero, Sakura's friend for the last 14 years.

"Oh, go away." Sakura mumbled, rolling back over and pulling the blanket's over her head.

"But Sakura, Tomoyo's coming over today!" Kero whined.

"Oh no! I completely forgot!" Sakura cried, falling out of bed and scrambling over to her closet.

Once Sakura had reached the closet, she pulled out the new pair of jeans she had gotten yesterday and the tank top Tomoyo had made for her birthday. She ran into the washroom, quickly brushing her teeth and changing into her clothes. She folded her pajamas and placed them on her bed. Kero must have made it for her; the blankets were tucked neatly under the pillow.

She thanked Kero as she ran back to the bathroom, brushing her short auburn hair and pulling it into a half ponytail to make sure she could apply the make up to her face. She quickly powdered her face and brushed on some light eye shadow. She swept the mascara across her lashes and heard the TV turn on as she reached for her lip gloss.

"Kero! Isn't it a little early to be playing video games?" She called into the living room.

"No." He replied simply.

Sakura rolled her eyes and put on her necklace. She fingered the locket and opened it. A picture of her father, Fujitaka Kinomoto, on one half, smiled up at her. On the other half, her older brother, Touya Kinomoto, smirked. She smiled, thinking about her family. She still lived in her hometown, but her brother and father were out of the country. They were currently in Brazil, studying the ancient churches of the old cities.

'I miss you Dad.' Sakura thought as she turned off the light and entered the living room.

Kero was sitting in front of the TV, madly beating away at the controller and screaming at the screen. Sakura smiled as she sat down at her desk and pulled out the Sakura cards. She looked through them, recalling each of their captures. Too bad she couldn't make a living out of being the master of a deck of magical cards. As it stood, she was about to enter her final year at the university. She was working on her doctorate degree specializing in cardiology. Tomoyo was at the community college, taking courses on fashion design and cosmetology. Sakura missed her dearly; they only got to see each other on the weekends, even though the semester was over. Sakura had been working as an intern all summer and volunteering her time at the aquarium, putting on shows with the penguins.

There was a knock on the door. Kero paused his game and flew over to Sakura's bed where he pretended to be a stuffed animal. Sakura walked over to the door and opened it.

"Sakura-Chan! It's so good to see you!" Tomoyo bounded into the room, her long raven hair bouncing around her and cascading down her back.

"Tomoyo-Chan!" Sakura said happily.

"Tomoyo! What'd ya bring me?" Kero asked, peering inside her bag.

Tomoyo laughed and pulled out some strawberry shortcake.

"Oh! Yummy, yummy, yummy!" Kero said, squirming with joy.

The two girls sat at Sakura's small able and cut pieces of cake for everyone. Sakura poured tea for them and asked Tomoyo how her week had gone.

"Oh it was very busy." Tomoyo said. "I was drawing up weeding designs for a very picky client. First the dress was too short, then it was too long, then it was too tight, then it was too puffy, then it was too white! It just went on and on. Honestly, I don't think anything can make that woman happy."

"Hey, at least you get paid for your designs now." Sakura pointed out.

"Yes, that is true. But on a lighter note, I got a letter from our dear Meilin-Chan." Tomoyo said with a smile.

"Oh? And how is she?" Sakura asked, taking a bite of cake.

"She just got engaged to one of the richest men in Hong Kong." Tomoyo said, clapping her hands together.

"That's wonderful!" Sakura chimed.

"I know! And she's asked me to design EVERYTHING Sakura. Her dress, the bridesmaids dresses, the flower girl's dress, the tablecloths, the centerpieces, and even the backdrop for the photos. Oh Sakura, this is the big break I've been waiting for! My designs will be seen throughout all of CHINA! I'm so nervous!"

Sakura smiled. "Your designs will be beautiful Tomoyo. They always are."

Tomoyo sighed. "It's all just so wonderful. She's asked us to come to the wedding. She wants us to be bridesmaids. But it won't be until after the winter semester is over. I think it's in May. She hasn't sent out the invitations yet."

"You girls are boring. All you talk about is weddings and clothes. I want more cake." Kero pouted.

"Oh, Kero. You're like a spoiled child." Tomoyo said, cutting him another piece of cake.

"So? You love me anyway." Kero said, stuffing his face.

Tomoyo turned back to Sakura. "She said Li-Kun is still waiting for you. He refuses to marry anyone his mother presents to him. His heart is still yours Sakura."

Sakura looked down in shame. "I wish you wouldn't say things like that, Tomoyo."

Tomoyo shook her head. "That American boy is no good for you Sakura. He doesn't love you. How did you get that bruise on your cheek?"

Sakura sighed. "Let's not talk about it, okay? Michael doesn't like me spending time with you. He thinks you ask too many questions."

The room fell silent. Kero looked from Sakura, who had silent tears in empty eyes, to Tomoyo, whose fists where clenched in anger.

"Okay Sakura. But remember the promise Li-Kun made to you. Remember who your friends are before you turn your back on them." Tomoyo stood and grabbed her bag. "Bye Kero. It was nice to see you again."

She left quietly, the door clicking closed behind her. Sakura stood and locked it behind her. Kero could hear her softly crying as she closed the bathroom door behind her, stepping into a cold shower.

And there we are! Any ideas, don't hesitate to suggest, I'm not quite sure where I want this story to go, although I do have some ideas.
