Chapter 2- Confessions and tears
Sakuras father, Fujitaka Kinomoto was walking home from the super market when he saw a limo, motorcycles and a bunch of people standing outside his apartment complex. Surrounding them was a group of bewildered people. "I'm sorry sir, nobody can enter right now" A guard said. "Uhm.. I live here" Fujitaka eyed the man, what was going on?
"Oh, i'm sorry, please pass" The guard apologized and moved so he could pass and blocking him after he went through. Fujitaka walked up the stairs and saw a man dressed in a suit with a really wierd hairstyle standing outside his door. He turned. "May I ask, are you Mr.Kinomoto?"
"Maybe... who are you?"
"I am Butler Yi from the Huang Fu company" The man called Butler Yi replied. Fujitaka's mouth dropped open. Huang Fu.. The man who owned that company was the richest man in all of Asia! What were they doing in his apartment comples? "Uh.. excuse me, but why are you here?" He asked cautiously.
"My master has sent me to retreive something from here" Butler Yi started "It is something very precious that was taken from him a long time ago" At the time that he was saying this, the door opened and revealed Nadeshiko Kinomoto, Sakura's mother. "Fujitaka! What have you done again?"
"I didn't do anything!" He retorted. "This man here says we have something very precious of the Huang Fu company"
"HUANG FU?!" Nadeshiko yelled, looking from butler yi to her husband. Fujitaka turned to the butler, "We don't have anything of yours unfortunately you must have the wrong house, right..?" He asked his wife. She nodded, they never took anything from the rich company!
"I'm sorry, but we don't have the wrong house and that something that is very precious to my master is in your house right now"

Sakura woke up to see her parents, "What happened?" she asked. Nadeshiko looked at her worried, "You passed out from heat stroke when you were at work.."
"Great.." Sakura mumbled "Now I won't even get the money"
"Think again!!" Her mother smiled and pulled out a wad of cash. "He payed you alright, in fact he payed you extra for working so hard! A great $600 dollars instead!" Sakura bolted up "Yay!! Now i'm finally $600 closer to my dream" Her parents looked at each other and leaned closer "Oh? What's your dream?" Sakura looked at them and stuck her tongue out, "there is no way i'm telling you. Never in a million years" With that, her dad burst out crying. "Why won't you tell your own parennttss!!!" he wailed.
"Dad" She looked at him pathetically, "I know you're faking"
Fujitaka stopped 'crying' and looked at his wife, "Am I really THAT obvious?" Sakura laughed and Nadeshiko looked away. "Well.. uh.. you see, you just need a bit of work.. you know" Fujitaka started crying again and stopped a short while later. "How was that?"
"Great, great.. now let's leave Sakura for a while so she can get some more sleep" And they left the room.
Sakura looked to her side and saw her playhouse castle. Her dream was to become a princess. Not just any princess, one that was rich. All her life she wanted to be rich. Oh how much easier life would be if only she had money but right now she was just like anyone else, poor. She picked up something from the ground and examined it. "Huang Fu estates, knights of the four winds. Sakura looked at the pictures and noticed that the four men pictured, about her age, were pretty cute. Northern wind Syaoran, Eastern wind Eriol, Southern wind Takashi, and Western wind Hiro. The four real estaters. How she would love to live in a house like that.. maybe she would even see them! She sighed and went back to sleep..
A great rumbling woke her up, "Is my dream coming true..? Will I finally become a princess?" Sakura thought about it for a second. "Nah.. probably just an earthquake or something" and she fell back asleep not noticing the black limo and motorcycles that had just parked outside the apartment complex..

Flashback
A man ran out of the garden carrying a bundle with him. Guards running after him he was too quick for them to catch. He ran at a fast pace until he reached a small town. A couple were walking down the street talking about their financial status and how they were not able to adopt a child. The man walked up to them and said, "I can sell you this baby. She's an orphan and I found her in the street. The couple were overwhelmed with happiness and bought the baby named Sakura.
End Flashback
"..And you see.. Sakura is--" Butler Yi was cut off when Sakura walked in the room. "Good morning mom, dad. It's so early and you already have visitors?" Her parents looked at her sadly and Nadeshiko appeared crying. "S-s-sakkuurraaaaaaaa" She wailed. "I'm sorry!"
Sakura looked at her as if she was crazy "Sorry for what?" Her mother looked at the guest.
"Ah.. miss Sakura.. how nice to see you again! You sure have grown!" Her mother blew her nose next to him. "You see, you are actually the granddaughter of Emp. or.. should i say the leader of Huang Fu estates?"
Sakura's eyes almost popped out. "Mom, dad! Stop joking around with me! It's too early in the morning"
"No.. Sakura.. we're not joking, look out the window"
Sakura walked past them and opened the blinds, looking down. Her mother was not lieing. There was limo outside and motorcycles everywhere with men in black and red uniforms standing around. "Mom.." she looked back at them. "I.. i.. need time to think" She said and ran into her room. Her wish had come true but why wasn't she happy?
After an hour in her room, she finally thought of the best answer. Sakura walked outside and immediately everyone looked up. "So where are your bags young miss?" The man named butler yi asked. "If not going" Sakura retorted. Her mother brightened up but suddenly frowned. "Sakura.." Her mother started. "I think it would be best if you took a chance.. to visit your real home and grandfather.." Sakura glared at her. "You WANT me to go?"
Her mother nodded, "as an experience only"
Sakura, being the obedient girl she was, obeyed and packed her bags for one night. She left the apartment complex saying her goodbyes and promises she would come back.
