Dance of The Cherry Blossoms

4 years ago...

Mori's POV

As I was strolling along the stone walkway towards the garden that leads to the building where the Third Music Room lies...I couldn't help but let out a loud sigh of relief. So far...today has just been busy and tiring. Its not exactly the brightest idea to dart back and forth along the school hallways helping the teachers ...well if it had been a normal public school I wouldn't have minded it so much but to do so in THIS GARGANTUIN named Ouran...one must really be out of their mind. I know that people think im inexhaustible but DUDE!!! Im still human and we all know that humans will eventually tire out no matter how strong you are. Well Takashi, now you can take this brief moment to enjoy this stroll before being bombarded by Mitsukuni and that large horde of obsessive and compulsive customers. (Don't they ever get tired of us???)

As I was walking, something caught my eye. A Cherry Blossom Tree. My most favourite spot in Ouran...believe it or not this is the only original cherry blossom tree that you'd ever find in Ouran (the rest are imported >_>). Take it from someone who's been walking through this familiar route for the past 10 years.

I came across this tree when I was running away...away from something that hurt both mind and soul. As you've guessed, back then I wasn't the person that Im like now...I was just Takashi Morinozuka...the kid who was somehow invisible among the students in class, the kid who could almost become one with the wall, the quiet and somber one. One would think ,why this tree?Why not any other tree? Their all the same aren't they? Well...when I first found this tree, it seemed to reach out to me.

Ever since then I would spend all my spare time thare, taking a nap, sorting out problems, watching the cherry blossoms dance in spring and what not. For me, that tree held important memories and some traces of warmth. I gazed down at my watch, well its still early...it wouldn't hurt to actually spend some time here now wouldn't it? I mean Mitsukuni and the club could wait...its only a few minutes. Clearing out the conflicts in my mind, I headed towards the tree. A smile found its way to my face. That tree had always been the same...unfazed by the cruelties of time. As I lay the palm of my hand on its surface, run my fingers across its rough yet suprisingly warm bark, I suddenly felt those marks that were oh so familiar to me. As memories of that time flooded my mind...I was once again plunged into my thoughts.

Its been years since that time...the time when I made my undying promise. A promise to always try my best no matter what life throws at me, to always stand up again no matter how many times I fall, to secure a smile no matter how much sadness there was, to go forth with my head high never dwelling on the past events too much and to finally...grab hold of my dreams so that I will never be lost. On that very day in spring,under the tree...the promise was sealled. The madly blooming cherry blossoms became my witness and only the soft breezy spring wind would carry my promise to Him.From that day forth, everytime the wind blows in spring, it would become my reminder of the promise I made.Through all the self-doubt, uncertainties and sadness.A reminder that I had a promise to keep. A promise to the cherry blossoms . From that promise came many more and now, here I am today...standing tall and proud, satisfied with how the person I became..

As I circled the tree, I suddenly tripped over something, or in this case...Someone. I was back on my feet in a moment, this being the result of my intense martial arts training over the years.

And then I saw her...
