Prologue
The wagon carrying a family slowly bumped with the rocky terrain of the mountain pass which led to the Great Wall of China. Inside the wagon, light cries of sadness could be heard; a whole family lived inside, waiting for their horses to get them across the Great Wall and into the Chinese territory.
"Little Sakura, please don't cry!" the panicked mother begged. The baby, with a hairline ready to grow continued to cry regardless if her mother was holding her. The mother was beyond beautiful, her wavy black hair touched little Sakura's cheeks giving a light tickle feeling. "Nadeshiko," a man with spectacles reached out his arms, "Our daughter probably isn't used to the rocking yet." The father, took his daughter, Sakura, and tried to keep her steady, and almost in an instant, she stopped crying.
"Oka-san!" a seven year old boy with black hair just like his mother's pulled on his mother's long frilly dress, "Why are we going to China?" Mother Nadeshiko looked at her son with a smile, "It's time to start a new life Touya, with the feudal lords in Japan, and we can't afford to have to stay there any longer. I want to start fresh, first in Nanking, and then I want to go to Beijing." Touya marveled how she said those cities. "Mother, will we get to see the emperor and visit the Forbidden City?" Touya asked with zeal. "I hope so, Touya!"
Touya then turned his attention to Sakura, although she was a baby resting in the arms of her father, he looked at her shiny baby emerald eyes and smiled. "Little sis, when we grow up, we're gonna have so much fun in China, we're gonna learn kung fu, then we're gonna wear silk, and eventually, we'll learn to cook Chinese food." Sakura, though not understanding a word Touya had just said, cheered like a happy baby. "But before we go to China, to our new home, I want to give you this." Touya pulled from his pocket a preserved petal of a cherry blossom on a rope, a cherry blossom necklace if you will. Touya put a preserved peach flower petal necklace on himself, "Now we have a piece of old Japan, while we live in New China."
Sakura smiled for one last time, then hooves and footsteps are heard, the cavalry had arrived. In little Sakura's eyes, she saw nothing but white light.
