genessia | 9TH FEATHER | VIDEO / ACTION

Video

Hello everyone. I’m sorry that I’ve been away for the last week. I hadn’t told anyone except Fai and Anastasia that I’d be going to the Dream Docks.

[She looks away from the screen, obviously sad. It’s as if the young princess has forgotten how to smile.]

I’ll be resuming work tomorrow but I’m trying to see what I’ve missed. If there is anything… Please let me know.

Thank you.

[With one last attempt at a smile she turns off the screen.]

Action: Trek Home (Genessia)

[Sakura flicks off her phone, pockets it and then heads home.

A million thoughts buzz through her head but one fact insists on remaining at the forefront of her mind. Does Fai know? He’s always been sweet and motherly towards her. She feels unsettled but she doesn’t know who to talk to. There is Clow but that might be awkward. She supposes she could talk to Yuuko. The time witch knows everything but Sakura doesn’t know what to say to her.

Where would she even start?

Sakura isn’t really paying attention to where she’s going and has to turn around a few times when she realizes that her house is the other way.]

[ooc: Sakura had been gone from April 16th to April 25th]

I think... you already know why Fai.

[She wants to tell him but the words are stuck in her throat. She doesn't think she can say it.]

[He paused, he was pretty sure he knew why and he didn't want to admit it at all. She must know who exactly she is... or what exactly. That had been something he had never wanted her to find out.]

I do know and I'm sorry you had to find out.

[Sakura shakes her head.]

It isn't your fault.

[She pauses, looking up at him.]

Thank you for being my friend Fai... even now.

[He smiled slightly, he was at least glad she saw it that way, but he had never thought that she would ever want to remember past the point she had come from.]

Of course I would be your friend even now, we've been through a lot after all.

We have...

[She agrees softly. It feels like a stalemate. Neither willing to speak what's brimming on the edge of their thoughts.]

I'd like to keep helping you. In the cafe and in Everglade.

[He crossed his arms over his chest quietly, thinking about it.]

If you want to, that will be fine, but you don't have to make yourself, Sakura-chan. But I would suggest focusing on the cafe.

I want too...

[She wants to prove that she can do it.]

I'll be safe. I promise.

I know you'll be safe with the cafe. Not like much happens there except customers coming in.

[Better than the last Cat's Eye at least.]

I meant in Everglade... Has anything changed?

[She wonders if she should tell Fai that she's stronger now.]

Not at all.

[But he was getting a group of natives together, so that they could help out for there own home instead of always having to rely on a Guardian.]

Is there nothing we can do? What if we speak to Dracula?

[She thinks going to the source might be better.]

Sakura-chan? Let me ask you this. Do you really think he would listen? This was something he wanted after all. I don't know why exactly, but he wanted it.

[She exhales a slow breath.]

No, I don't think he would listen.

[Now more than ever, Sakura doesn't want to feel helpless.]

That's why I havn't done it. We just have to think of ways to protect people instead.

[Which is about as logical as he could do things.]

If I practice my magic then maybe I can help.

[She's awakened more of her magic now.]

Maybe but to be strong enough it would still take you time to master stronger spells. Doesn't matter the level of power you have.

I was practicing before.

[Her hand moves over her heart.]

I'll keep practicing.

Good. I won't teach you anything new until I know you've mastered the others.

[He didn't know if she had yet or not though.]

[Sakura nods a little more decisively. They've done a good job of dancing around the real issue at hand.]

There is more Fai.

[It's so hard to say but she knew that he'd either find out or that he'd already knew.]

I got a feather. The one that reawakened my power.

[Considering Fai is the master of dancing around issues, it was not a surprise for him. But he had really not wanted to have an idea of what she was aware of.]

You mean you ability to see the future, right?

Yes,

[Perhaps if they hadn't been in Genessia together the year before, but now Sakura feels guilty keeping anything from Fai. They've become more than friends, they're family...]

[He sighed slightly, he knew off there and then what this was all about. Finding out the truth was never an easy pill to take after all. But he had to have some reassurance to give her at least.]

Just because you know who you are now, doesn't make you any less Sakura-chan, okay? As for the future thing, if you are worried about what I am capable of, don't be. I'm way past that point so it's not something to worry about.

[Sakura nods before looking up at Fai.]

Am I really Sakura-chan? Even now?

Yes, Sakura-chan. Even now you are you.

[He thought that might give her some comfort.]

[It does afford her some small measure of comfort but she still feels unsettled.]

Will you tell me what you know of the future?
