Living a Life

CHAPTER 1: Being Rich and Poor

"OHHHHHH jeeeeeez…. Whatta hot dayyyy----ayyyyy!" an auburn headed girl yawned loudly.

Sakura just awoke to a shining sun in a cloudless sky. She was in a very good mood, having to have woken up at 1:00 pm.

"I shooould—shooould…go eat! Yum!"

She jumped up from her bed and ran into her ridiculously large bathroom. Sakura carefully inspected herself in the crystal clear mirror. She smiled to herself for seeing no dark bags under her eyes. She and a couple of her friends went to a club last night and didn't come home until 3:00 am.

"And they say too much sleep is a sign of lazy piggy-ness," Sakura spat.

After brushing her white teeth, she got out of her room and headed towards the elevator.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Sakura," said the Kinomoto elevator officer.

"Hey, what's up Joe?" Sakura said almost automatically.

"Just fine, and you, Ms. Sakura?"

"I'll be fine once I bite into my food!"

"Heh heh, alright Ms. Sakura. Please hurry then!"

The two laughed and Sakura gratefully went into the elevator and when it arrived at it's destination, she walked out and into the dining room was she headed.

"Thanks Joe-lot!" yelled Sakura from afar.

Joe nodded and tipped his hat while watching Sakura trip over a rug.

'She's such a kind person. She's so young…I almost feel sorry for her when I think about her future.'

The Dining Room yah know, where people eat! LOL!

Sakura entered the dining room expecting to be seated, by herself, waiting for some 'breakfast'. What she saw was her dad, Fujitaka, reading a book while having his lunch.

At the sound of someone entering, Fujitaka looked up. He saw her daughter, still in her pajamas of cotton short shorts and an over sized T-shirt. What he also saw was a nervous expression plastered on her face.

'Oh…my god. PLEASE, tell me he was asleep last night when I came home…he DOESN'T know! Please tell me he doesn't know….' Sakura thought madly in her head.

"Why Sakura, would you care to join me for lunch?" asked Fujitaka.

"Uhhhh….huh heh! Um...I'm not all that hungry, really…I was just…um, checking on the chef! YEAH! You know, Francis! Imma go check on Francis. Bye dad!" she nervously replied.

Sakura ran away and went into the kitchen and there, she spotted Francis, whom is now known as one of the Kinomoto chefs.

"Francis! Hey!" Sakura started. "Can you make me something to eat? I'm STARVING! And I need to eat it in here."

"Sure thing, ma'am! I'll get right to it!" he answered her and started to cook something up nice for Sakura.

"Thanks!" Sakura tip toed past the dining room to get her cell phone so that she could talk to her best friend in the whole world, Tomoyo Daidouji.

Tomoyo was an elegant person and was wealthy. Her mother owned a famous toy shop and was head of the toy company, Ku-Sugoi! Toy Company. Ku-Sugoi! owned many toy shops, but the most successful was the one said, owned personally by Tomoyo's mother. Tomoyo had dark violet hair that was slightly curly at the tips. She had deep purple eyes and long eye lashes. Tomoyo was about an inch shorter than Sakura, but she had bigger curves. You usually see her video taping something, someone, or Sakura, to be exact.

As Sakura tried her best to tip toe past the dining hall silently, she kept her eye on her cell phone that was a few inches away from where she was. Closer, closer…

"Sakura, please come join me for a conversation and you mind as well bring your, hmm, breakfast with you," Fujitaka STATED.

Sakura almost fell onto her knees when she heard his voice shim through the silence.

"Hoee…yes dad," Sakura said lowly.

Sakura walked towards her dad, but not until she got her cell phone first. Sitting down, she saw Francis come in as well, with curry and bread.

"Thanks…" she muttered.

"Sakura, I want to discuss about yesterday, or should I say, today…?" Fujitaka started.

'Oh crap. He said today, meaning 3:00 in the morning today! He freaggin knows…I'm sooo busted,' thought Sakura sadly.

"Yessss…dad?" she replied at his idea.

"Well, where were you last night? I believe you didn't come home until 3:00, in the morning?"

"Yeah! About that…. You see, um." Sakura started energetically. "Me and my friends went to a club, right? Well, like, I got carried away, and like, it was dark in the club so I never knew when it was night time…or 3:00 in the morning!"

"Sakura, my dearest. You know better that to do that! You are a young woman and with that you have responsibilities!"

"But dad! I don't wanna! I want to have fun…it wasn't my fault!"

"Sakura, someday you are going to run the business, you know that. That time is coming soon, and I don't think this behavior is acceptable."

"Dad! No! I DON'T WANT to run YOUR little business! NO, NO, NO!"

Fujitaka sighed and looked at her daughter in the eye.

"If you don't run the FAMILY business, then I don't see how you're going to occupy the money. Right now you have absolutely NO RIGHT to the family fortune. NONE." Fujitaka said seriously. "We run our money in a very different way. Only I hold the power to the money and you know that. The other cash we get is just a minor touch, compared to what we have in the fortune! It took years to save that, since I was NOT rich!"

"Dad, I know. But all I care about is my credit cards and allowance. That's $1000 a day! That's too LITTLE for being rich, but hey, I got it!" snapped Sakura. "I don't really care about it, as long as I have SOMETHING to spend. And I'm not going to run a business to get more cash that I really care for."

"You are grounded. Eat and go to your room."

"WHAT!"

"You heard me. Now eat."

After Breakfast/Lunch

"TOMOYO! Isn't that unfair though!" Sakura was in her room after eating and arguing. She had finally called Tomoyo and was complaining to her.

"Sakura-chan, I think your dad is right about the club thing, but I think you guys should discuss about your future, kindly…you know what I mean?" Tomoyo replied suggestively.

"I already TRIED that! But he's practically FORCING me to do his job. Can't someone else do it? Joe?"

"Sakura, you're the only person I guess…and Joe is the elevator guy, not someone to run your family business."

"Yeah I know, I was being sarcastic! But Tomoyo!"

"Maybe if you married a rich, hotass guy and let him do the job!"

"Yeah, but if he's rich, he'd have a business too, don't you think?"

"Then combine companies. Isn't it much better? You get more cash. My mom did that with her sister, and they're making a fortune!"

"Well, I don't know. But now I'm grounded. I'm going to go online."

"Alright, Sakura-chan. Have fun! Bye!"

"Good bye, Tomoyo-chan!"

They clicked and Sakura went to sit in front of her computer. She turned it on and went online. Logging into her AIM chatting system, she saw that the only person online was Eriol.

Chatting screen

xMELoDYxSTaRx: Hey Eriol.

TincyWincyHOTxGUY: Hi Sakura. What's up w/ u

XMELoDYxSTaRx: Nothing…I'm grounded.

TincyWincyHOTxGUY: ha! That sux. Wat did u do dis tyme?

xMELoDYxSTaRx: nothing ok? Jeez I had enough advice from tomoyo.

TincyWincyHOTxGUY: Really…huh I should really ask her out.

xMELoDYxSTaRx: I know, I mean, she knows u like her and she feels the same.

TincyWincyHOTxGUY: gtg I needa think about this

xMELoDYxSTaRx: Bye…

(MESSAGE WAS UNSUCCESSFULLY SENT. TincyWincyHOTxGUY has logged off.)

"Arghs…" Sakura said when she saw the replied auto message.

She hated it when that happened. It was obvious Eriol wanted to ask her fast. He did log off fast.

"I'm going to sleep. There's nothing better to do," Sakura said to herself.

Dah dum (Imma use this phrase for later)

Later that night, Fujitaka wasn't feeling to well. He was turning and sweating on his bed. Hours later, it became clear that this was not an ordinary disturbance. Doctors came. Many of them.

"Ms. Sakura! Ms. Sakura! Please wake up! Please! I beg of you!" cried a maid. She was shaking Sakura and crying.

"Hmm…huh? Whaaaat….just 5 more minutes…" Sakura saw the maid but closed her eyes again.

"No, Ms. Sakura, PLEASE! It's…it's your f-father…he's—Ms. Sakura, please!"

"Dad…?" she opened her eyes slowly. "Is something wrong with dad?"

Sakura listened to half of what the maid said. She heard Mr. Fujitaka and dying together and ran out the door. It took forever to get to the other side of the mansion. That's where her father's room was. When she got there, she saw many doctors, some maids and servants, and all had worried looks on their faces.

"Oh my god…someone tell me what the fuck is going on," Sakura yelled shaking.

"Ms. Sakura…" everyone said at different times.

"Someone…tell. Tell me…"

"Are you Sakura Kinomoto? Daughter of Fujitaka Kinomoto?" asked a doctor.

"Y-y-eah."

"Please, come inside."

Sakura walked into her dad's room and saw her father there, with an oxygen cup over his mouth and nose, tubes connected to him, and his lifeless body.

"What the hell happened," Sakura whispered herself. She was too shocked to move.

"Your father has suffered a terrible attack. It has many combinations of serious events, which surprises us. Do you know if he had been taking any pills, or such?" asked the same doctor.

"N-no…is…heh," started Sakura, "please tell me he's alive!"

"He is alive, Ms. Kinomoto. He is. But I'm afraid that's not for long. We need to perform a life or death operation on him. This is very dangerous, please understand. There is only a 41 percent chance that he will survive from it," said the doctor. "If he doesn't go with the operation, he will die. So he has a chance of living through whatever hell he's going through right now."

"WHATEVER! JUST MAKE HIM LIVE! I DON'T CARE!" Sakura screamed.

The thought of her father dying struck her. She already lost her mother. It was hard and she loved her so much. After her death, she grew very close to her dad. There was a bond, and losing him tore her heart into pieces. She suddenly felt alone and empty, like she was going to throw up.

"D-dad! I love you…. I'm so sorry for yelling! I love you…don't leave, please live!" Sakura cried. She started to sob and walked over to her dad. He was barely breathing.

"The operation. When. Explain everything. Now." Sakura said blindly.

"Well, it's going to be very expensive," the doctor said with sympathy. "Because there were a lot of attacks that hit your father, there will be a combination of operations and the life or death one."

"I don't care how much it is, I'm going to get it to him!"

"Will you be able to give the estimated price, please note it could be more, $100,000,000?"

"WHAT! I ONLY GET $1000 A DAY! But now that my father is in this state, I don't get allowance! So I get LESS than $1000 a day!" Sakura cried in shock.

"Do you have any family members that can help?"

"Not exactly…. My big brother Touya is on a honeymoon trip! I can't ruin it for him, but he has to know. Even if he did, he can't do anything! None of us can…in time."

"Please, find a way. He only has three days for your decision to be official. Please, we don't want to lose such a kind man. He is clever and we don't want to lose these kinds of people in our society."

Fujitaka was taken to the hospital. Sakura was left in the dark, alone and unsecured. She wobbled back to her room. Her maids had suggested help, but she turned them away. Sakura needed her space. She was dying inside. Everything seemed hopeless.

'I can't…think…Dad…don't leave ok? No…'

Nothing she thought to herself made any sense. She fell onto her bed, and slept.

Where in the hell would she get that amount of money?
