"Sakura has slept for a number of days now, hasn't she?" A 16-year old Tomoyo asked the nurse.

The nurse smiled pleasantly, however, her eyes showed she was worried as well, "I'm sure she will be alright. Her operation has been successful, and she is out of danger. The doctor said so himself."

Tomoyo did not say a word, however, she held Sakura's hand as if expecting it to move. She sighed, after a few minutes, she went out and decided to visit Sakura's father, Fujitaka.

The door opened a crack as Tomoyo waited patiently in the front porch. After a few minutes, the door was wide open, and, standing there was a smiling Fujitaka. He let Tomoyo in, then quickly shut the door.

"Mr. Kinomoto, debtors are still bothering you?" Tomoyo asked when she had settled.

"Yes they have. They are now demanding a payment within a year or so, or they would have to confiscate everything we have." Fujitaka smiled slightly, "But don't worry, Tomoyo. I can settle the debts I owe them for Sakura's heart surgery."

Tomoyo smiled back, "I know you can, Mr. Kinomoto. But don't push yourself too hard, Sakura would be sad to see you like this.."

Fujitaka gave her a reassuring smile, "I know."

Li stood apprehensively in front of his furious boss as he slammed his fist down on his table.

"What the hell is Kinomoto thinking?! That debt of his has been mounting up the last 3 years, and now, it has risen to an exorbitant amount of 4 million yen! I cannot believe this Li!"

"But sir, I thought it was 1.5 million yen initially..."

His boss ignored the remark, "Li, get down there to Tokyo, Japan and make sure Kinomoto pays his debt!"

Li stiffened, "But sir, I-"

"GET DOWN THERE, NOW! KILL HIM IF YOU MUST!"

"Hai."

Sakura stirred from her slumber. She opened her eyes for the first time in 2 days since she had a heart surgery. It had gone well. But what worried her more was the fact that her father had been suffering from the debt collectors. It was all her fault. Sakura sobbed to herself silently as the first lights of dawn became visible through her window.

There was a knock on the door. Fujitaka nervously got up from bed as he approached the door. He turned the handle slowly.

Fujitaka saw a hooded figure. Only his amber eyes were shown, and a glistening handle of a dagger. Before he could act, he felt pain sear through his chest as he saw the knife pass through his heart.

I rushed this up...I was getting really sleepy already...R&R please, I'll continue this on -
