THANKYOU VERY MUCH

Revised on the 14th of December 2006, things that were slightly changed are: tense, description and other events that needs brushing up. Thank you for all YOUR support and Thank you for waiting me so long. As I look at my old chapters, I cannot believe my tense is so bad! I can't bare the sight of it. I'm trying to make them better so it's easier for others to read this story without wincing cause of my tense. Although I must admit I'm still that bad, XD. I'm going to revise them all before my next update which should be soon, I hope. I hope I didn't disappoint my faithful, awesome readers but I was very busy. Sorry!! Thank you again and I hope this story will remain in your hearts even after you close the webpage. Read and Review will always apply in this story.

China, Beijing - The year 1845

Prologue:

"I have to go, papa."

"Be careful."

Is this all he will say to me?

"Sister, I'll miss you very much." He pulled her to an embrace.

She returned the embrace and replied, "Me too."

His sister pulled away from the embrace and turned to their silenced father.

After all it's a way to let us all be happy for once.

She clutched her sack and walked to the door. Until she reached to the door step she said without turning back, "Papa, I…I won't able to see again!" She sniffed.

She waited for a second or two but after realizing that did not helped at all, she hesitantly walked out of the broken and wrecked house. Without notice there was a warm hand grabbed her wrist, the hand pulled her to a hug. Her father kissed her forehead and smoothed her back gently. "I'll miss you dear. Loads and loads."

Rain started to pour, droplets fell onto her eyelids and down her cheek. Tear and rain mixed and they both dropped soundly onto the floor.

"Papa," she cried. "I won't be able to see you again."

"Dear, that is the very reason why I taught you how to read and write."

"But paper cannot contain any feelings from me to you, papa."

He embraced her tighter, once again kissed her forehead and smiled.

"I love you darling, in any circumstances, place or time. You should always remember that, won't you?"

She nodded slightly, tears started to drop from her eyes again.

She collected herself again, swept her only set of clean clothes down, smooth her hair and smiled weakly to show that she was alright again.

"I love you too Papa. And you, Touya." She croaked.

Her brother only nodded and kept quiet His eyes betrayed him as they start to get watery.

She waved back to them, "Papa, Touya, good luck, good health, May God high above bless you."

Her father waved back and said quietly to the beyond "Good luck to you Sakura."
