Alright, I'm not dead, dying, in the hospital or run away to live in the Amazon. My friend is still in the hospital, but she appreciates all of your well wishes. You guys are the best fans I could wish for!

Sakura retreated back to her grove of trees and began to meditate to gather more power.

'I need to do this,' she thought, 'block out the outside world. Focus. Focus on my power. Focus on the sun. Focus on the sound of the wind. Focus on breathing. Just breathe.'

She took a deep breath.

'Focus on anything other than the fact that your only friends may be dying in that forest and that you may not help them in any way.'

Breathe.

In.

Out.

In.

Out.

A shadow loomed over her.

The next thing she knew was pain and darkness.

I really wanted to write more, but it was just begging to be ended with that line and I couldn't think of anything to make it longer. :( So sorry. I hope to write more soon, but they may not be very long at all, just a warning.

Until next time
