Sakura and The Broken Promise!

“ No, please don’t leave. Don’t leave me all alone. “

Waking from a nightmare, Sakura checked her phone and noticed how early it was. Unable to fall asleep, she woke up and made some coffee in the kitchen.

“ Why did I have that nightmare again? When is this going to stop? “ She mumbled internally before thinking of Kaito in the mix of it all.

“ I still wonder why he broke his promise to me. After saying he’d wait for me, why did he have to break my heart like all the others? Let’s not think about this anymore because it’s as pointless as it gets. “

Meanwhile, in the Angel realm, Kaito awoke and realized with horror he had missed his meeting time with Sakura. Attempting to walk, he couldn’t make a step without falling.

“ What’s happening? How come I have trouble walking?”

Trying to recall what could have happened, Kaito gasped, horrified, “ Christopher gave me my favorite fruit juice, then headed out right after. I fell into a profound sleep and woke up just now. Could he have, by any chance, put something in my drink when he came in earlier?”

Noticing at the time how fixated he was on the drink, Kaito mumbled, “ To suddenly be curious about Sakura and wanting to know more about her, this was all a trap he led out for me and I fell right into it. What could he have done while I was out? I better make sure he didn’t do anything crazy in my absence. “

Checking his mailbox through the computer, Kaito was horrified by what he found inside. Reading the heartbreaking message Sakura left for him, Kaito was infuriated like never before.

Using his powers at a low capacity, Kaito searched for Christopher, who he couldn’t find anywhere in the realm.

At that time, Christopher was still lingering in the human world, looking for a chance to approach Sakura again, even as she continued to harbor increasing animosity toward him.

She waited for the perfect opportunity to arise during recess. With nothing particular to do in that class since she was caught up with her homework, she passed the time drawing in her notebook. Unexpectedly, just like the last time, she ended up drawing Kaito’s portrait again.

“ Why do I keep drawing his portrait? This is the second time now. “ Sakura was trying to understand why she couldn’t let go of her guardian angel’s betrayal against her.

Christopher, who was lingering in the classroom, observed everything and thought to himself, “She drew such a perfect portrait of him. She must be quite smitten with him to be so affected. At this rate, they might reconcile if he were to appear right in front of her this instant. I must do something drastic to ensure that doesn’t happen.”

At the end of recess, it was the right opportunity for Christopher to act, but he didn’t have the chance to do anything as Sakura did something unexpected and he was left speechless for words.

Tearing down the page in which she drew Kaito during recess time, she folded the paper before instantly throwing it in the trash.

Leaving the classroom soon after, Christopher wondered, “ Why did she throw it in the trash? “ Gasping for joy, he wondered even more, “ Could this mean she doesn’t want anything to do with him from this day forth? “

During PE class, Sakura sat it out and simply watched the others enjoying themselves. Christopher, who was around, noticed her gaze, which wasn’t showing any emotions in them.

Approaching her furtively, Sakura telepathically uttered before he had the chance to speak, “ Why are you still here, Angel Christopher? You’ve already passed Angel Kaito’s message to me, so why are you still lingering around? Do angels have so much free time to waste around? “

Feeling the coldness in her words, Christopher emphasized, “ I saw when you threw Kaito’s picture in the trash. Why did you do that? It was such a nice picture, so why did you throw it away like a piece of garbage? “

Responding with the same coldness as before, Sakura uttered, “ If that picture picked your fancy so much, you might as well rummage the dustbin for it. That way, it won’t be wasted. “

Before he could retaliate, the bell rang, ending the session.

As all the students were leaving the field to go change in their locker room, Sakura turned back and telepathically uttered to Christopher, “ Kindly leave me alone now, Angel Christopher! I have no use for you angels as you’re all backstabbers. “ She sent a cold gaze at him and he shivered.

In the angel realm, Kaito felt his heart hurting for no apparent reason.

While being examined by Angel Catherine, nicknamed Fluffy, she uttered to him after examining him thoroughly, “ You seem to have been stricken with the angel fever, Kaito. “

!

Kaito was stunned by Fluffy’s revelation and that’s because angel fever is known to not be very common among angels. While humans may get a fever, it goes down after either going to the hospital or taking some meds prescribed by the doctor. Whereas, angel fever is entirely different. One gets it when the bond between angel and human is in peril of being broken, which explains why Kaito is so shaken up right now.

“ Are you sure of your diagnosis? “ He asked, appalled, to which she nodded without hesitation.

“ This cannot be. How could this happen to me? “ Kaito was saddened and disoriented. “ We’ve just reunited again after sixteen years, so why is this happening? Why? What have I done to deserve this unfair treatment? “

Seeing his mental state, which was shrinking down the more he tried to make sense of the situation, Fluffy asked, “ What happened between the two of you, if you don’t mind me asking, of course? “

“ Nothing that could have provoked this. “ He mumbled, sadly. “ Just that, I was supposed to meet up with her after school, which I couldn’t because of something I had to do. It wasn’t supposed to go in like this. If only Christopher hadn’t brought me that fruit juice, then things wouldn’t have gone down the drain as they did. “

Picking up on something, she uttered, “ Christopher? How is he connected to this? “

Well,-----------------”

Confiding in her, Kaito told her everything that happened between them to the smallest details. In the end, Fluffy uttered, “ Christopher must have sabotaged you all so that he could replace you by Sakura Fambrose's side. “

Confused at his intentions, Kaito asked, “ Why would he do that to me? I have never done anything bad to him, so why would he backstab me like this? “

—

“ Why aren’t you saying anything, Fluffy? Are you hiding something from me? “

—

“ It’s common knowledge why an angel would act like that toward another angel, isn’t it? “

?

“ You still don’t get it, do you? “ She emphasized. “ Christopher did this to you because of jealousy. “

!!!

“ What? Jealousy? “ Kaito was stunned to the core. “ Why would he be jealous of me? He has no reason to be envious of me. If anything, I’m the one who’s envious of him. “

Continuing her statement, Fluffy uttered, “ You must not be aware of this, but Christopher has always been envious of you in more ways than one. First of all, your denial of taking in more humans under your protection intrigued him so much that he wanted to know more about the human girl who let you reject all the others without even consideration. Second of all, your laziness irked him so much that he came to believe that your human must have been as insignificant as an insect. That’s not all; There’s more where this came from. “

Determined to know everything, he asked, “ What’s more, is there? I’d like to know how much animosity Christopher has held toward me over the years. “

“ Alright then, I’ll tell you everything I know. “

Back to the human world, someone rummaged through the trash and took out the picture that was thrown inside. Gazing at the picture, the person mumbled, “ How beautiful? “

At the end of the day, as Sakura made her way toward the exit, she sensed a presence tailing her from a distance.

Hurrying her steps, she thought for a second it was Christopher, but when she turned around without warning, she realized to her shock just how wrong she was.

“ Who are you? “ She asked a girl with short green hair and honey eyes, holding something in her hand. “ Why were you tailing me? “

“ I—------ I wanted to hand you this. “ Handing her the picture of Kaito she had thrown in the trash, Sakura stared at the picture, coldly and said, “ I have no use for this anymore. Dispose of it however you please! “

As Sakura was about to turn, the girl uttered, “ But, it’s such a beautiful picture. Why would you throw it in the trash after drawing it in your notebook? “

Stunned, she asked the girl before her, “ How did you know I drew this out of a notebook? “

Responding to Sakura’s question, the girl uttered, “ This is a notebook paper, and I saw you while you were drawing it even though I was far away from you. “

Speechless for words, the girl added, “ You’re so talented at drawing, unlike me who’s not good at anything. “

Wanting to retort anything to her words, the girl uttered, “ I’m Camille Green by the way, and I simply accosted you to return this drawing to you. “

Returning the drawing to its proprietor, Camille ran away as fast as possible, leaving Sakura speechless.

In the Angel Realm, Kaito is flabbergasted after learning the reasons why Christopher has been after him for years. Managing to stand back on his feet, he uttered, determined, “ I need to go now, Fluffy. I need to head to Sakura this instant and explain myself to her before the bond between us gets broken by Christopher’s antics. “
