AayMee: I get too many ideas at once. =P I write too much stories. This story I made up when I was telling a friend a story so he would go to sleep. This I think is going to be real long since a long of things happen to prove Sakura's life is really messed up.
Summary: Sakura lived a happy life, until her family was separated. She runs away and was saved by an old man after running away from her evil aunt. His son, Syaoran, didn't really like Sakura much, but soon they fell for each other. But her life being unlucky she gets into more trouble and she became missing. Syaoran found her soon enough. But she has amnesia. Eriol is the man who saved Sakura and he didn't want to let her go. Syaoran would do anything to get her back.

Chapter One: Prologue
"Happy birthday, Sakura." A woman said as she hugged her daughter.
The just turned 10 year old girl beamed. "Thank you okaa-san!"
"When otou-san comes home, we're going to the amusement park to celebrate," the mother said as she stroked her daughter's sun kissed auburn shoulder length hair.
"I'm home, the car's ready!" a man came running into the living room.
...
"This is the best birthday present I ever got!" Young Sakura said.
Her parents smiled. "We're sorry we always have to work and don't have time to spend with you."
Sakura shook her head. "Just as long as once a week you two come home and we go somewhere is all I wish for."
Her father nodded. "We promise we would."
Sakura smiled broadly. "Let's ride that roller coaster!"
...
"Sakura, you're a good girl. It's time to sleep." The mother said as she stroked Sakura's hair.
Sakura pouted. "But I don't want to go to sleep yet, it's still early."
Her mother's eyes widened. "11:30's early?"
Sakura giggled. "Yup."
Her mother shook her head, "Go to sleep."
Sakura pouted again. "Okay, good night okaa-san."
DiNG DiNG DiNG! "INTRUSi0N!"
Sakura sat up on her bed, "What's happening?"
Her mother looked worried but calm, "Listen to me, go to sleep. I'll go outside and see what's wrong."
Sakura nodded and fell back to sleep.
...
"What's wrong?" Nadeshiko asked Fujitaka as she hurried into the living room.
Fujitaka looked angry. "The guards were asleep and a bunch of bandits came into the house."
"What?!" Nadeshiko's eyes widened. "Where are they now?"
"I don't know, I think they are looking after the 'Emerald Sakura'."
"Where did you hide it?"
Fujitaka's head shot up. "Under Sakura's bed."
They built a passage way under Sakura's bed.
Fujitaka and Nadeshiko ran into their daughter's room. In front of it, there were people dressed all in black. They were the burglars.
"What do you think you are doing?"
The burglars were armed.
...
"What's all the noise?"
BANG BANG.
She opened her door little and she took a peek. There on the floor she saw her parents.
Blood all around them.
Sakura started crying. She clapped her hands in front of her month to not make any sounds.
She quickly ran to her bed and clicked the button next to the drawer.
Under the bed, a stair case started appearing. She ran into it and closed the doorway fast enough that the burglars came in and didn't know where she was.
She knew about the 'Emerald Sakura'. It was a special pendant made for her. But it was worth a lot, and this is the only one in the whole world.
Sakura ran into the secret room where they kept the pendant.
She grabbed the pendant and she pushed more buttons on the wall frantically.
Doorways started opening. She ran into a random one.
Each one led to a way out of the mansion.
She pushed the heavy metal plate on top of her head and found herself outside the mansion.
She looked back as her tears fell she whispered, "Good bye mom and dad."
She got up and ran endlessly into the night.
...
Running for hours, she started growing tired. She doesn't know where she is. She doesn't remember if she had any relatives in the country.
She put on the necklace with the emerald cherry blossom pendant. She sighed as she ran her fingers along the rim of the pendant. Mom and dad.
She continued to walk in the night avoiding people's eyes.
...
"Ha. Fujitaka has his day, he's dead and his daughter's missing with this expensive necklace." A woman said as she laughed.
A girl came down the stairs and stared at her mother. Is that even my mother? She shook her head and said, "Mother, Sakura doesn't have family now, she must be lonely out there..."
The woman also known as Sonomi turned her head and her left eyebrow rose, "So?"
"We should let her live here since we're her only family left."
Sonomi just walked away and said, "Why should I?"
Sonomi stopped in her tracks and thought, wait a minute. That bug, Fujitaka's, rich... then he should have left a lot of money for Sakura. If she does live with us... then I guess I could take all her money. She laughed at her plan as she began to walk again.
...
Sakura's stomach began to growl. The sun had risen and she was hungry. She had been running and walking for the whole night and morning. She was missing home. She had cried so much the night before there was no more tears in her eyes anymore.
She sighed as she leaned back at the door she was sitting back in front of. She just needed to rest and she sat in front of a random house.
The door opened and Sakura fell back. She hit her head on the floor. "Ow..."
"Sakura?" A voice said.
Sakura looked up and saw a girl around her age. She had long wavy raven hair.
"You are?" Sakura asked as she stood up.
The girl smiled and said, "Sakura, it's me, your cousin."
Sakura suddenly grinned, "Tomoyo!"
Tomoyo nodded and hugged Sakura. "I'm sorry what happened, it was on the news this morning."
They let go and Sakura looked down at the floor. "It's too late already."
Tomoyo jumped, "Do you have anywhere to stay?"
Sakura shook her head, "No, I don't remember any relatives we have."
Tomoyo giggled. "Am I not a relative?"
Sakura's left eyebrow rose. "You're saying..."
Tomoyo nodded, "You could stay here!"
Sakura smiled. "Are you sure?"
Tomoyo nodded yet again, "Of course! My mother would be happy to have you here."
Sakura leaned back. "Thank you."
Tomoyo grabbed Sakura's her and led her up to her house.
...
"Mother, I found Sakura."
Sonomi's ear perked up. A coincidence, huh?
She put on a fake smile and shook Sakura's hand, "Welcome, Sakura. You could live here all you want, I'm so sorry what happened to your parents. Fujitaka was such a great brother." She snorted, yeah right.
Sakura smiled, "I'm so happy to find someone I know, thank you so much. I'll repay you some day."
Sonomi shook her head, "We'll worry about that one day."
Sakura sighed.
Sonomi acted if she wasn't interesting, "Your parents left a will right?"
Sakura shook her head, "I don't know."
Sonomi smiled inside, "We'll go up to the lawyer's office tomorrow to find out."
Sakura looked sad, "Okay..."
...
"Good morning Mrs. Daidouji." The lawyer said as he sat down in his seat.
"Good morning, lawyer." Sakura said.
The lawyer smiled at Sakura's cheerfulness.
"You came up today to find out about Mr. Fujitaka Kinomoto and Mrs. Nadeshiko Amamiya-Kinomoto's will."
Sonomi nodded anxiously.
"Well, they both left a will stating if anything happened to them, they both left 90% of their belongings and money to their only daughter, Sakura, and the rest to charity."
Sonomi rolled her eyes. Everything to Sakura and none for me, you are a great brother.
The lawyer continued, "But since Sakura's still young, she has to be 18 to inherit this, it'll go to her bank account for now."
Sonomi yawned. "If she wants it now to use it, can she get it from the bank?"
The lawyer nodded. "But she needs her signature and a guardian's signature indicating she's going to use it for something important."
Sonomi smiled to herself. Excellent.
...
Time passed. Sonomi acted nice to Sakura, providing everything she needs, getting close to Sakura trying to get her to sign a slip of paper so she could use the money in the bank. Sakura was smart enough to leave it in the bank. Every time Sonomi asked, Sakura would say she wants to use it for something important. Sonomi gets impatient.
Years passed. Each year got worst. The first two or three years Sakura received good service at home. Tomoyo and Sakura became close friends.
But things got bad. Sonomi became VERY impatient. She wanted her hands on Sakura's inheritance. Sonomi started making Sakura do all the chores and constantly made her miss school just do errands for her. But matter only became worst.
AayMee: Alright maybe things are going too fast, but this is only the prologue. It's only the beginning. And about Sakura's necklace, it's not that important in the story except it's just pretty expensive. She hid it somewhere so her aunt doesn't know about it. Syaoran comes in the story somewhere next chapter, I think. Eriol doesn't come until later. Thank you for reading. Please give comments, suggestions, criticism, whatever you like to call it. [=
