Recap

"Come on Sakura. Don't worry. Everything is going to be alright." Tomoyo said as she walked Sakura to the car.

Sakura got into the car. So did Tomoyo.

"We'll talk about what we are going to do about everything tomorrow. But right now we are going to my house and get you out of those wet clothes then sleep."

What am I going to do?

"Tomoyo… am I a loser?" Asked Sakura looking straight at her.

"No! You're not even close."

Then why does he think I am?

--------------

Sakura fell asleep on the ride to Tomoyo's house.

So many questions flooded Sakura in her dreams.

When Sakura awoke she was in Tomoyo's house.

"Tomoyo?" Sakura asked sleepily.

"Sakura? Oh thank goodness! I was so worried! Guess who stopped by." Tomoyo said grinning.

"My boyfriend." Sakura said knowing it had to be him.

"Correct. He wanted me to tell you he heard about your… you know… and he's really sorry for that to happen. He also wants you to call him when you feel better."

"Oh ok." Sakura replied stretching a little.

"Ok. So what should we do? We can't let you just go around not being feed or having a roof over your head." Tomoyo said matter-of-factly.

"I know. I'm just not sure." Sakura looked down not really sure.

"Ok. Here's what I thought, You could sell your house and come live with me. We can get our own apartment and everything. We could be roommates!" Tomoyo said happily.

"But Tomoyo, you already have a home. I couldn't possibly do that to you!" Sakura said trying to not burden her.

"Sakura, we are like sisters! Come on it will be fun! I want to get a place too you know." Tomoyo said now with pleading eyes.

"Tomoyo, be reasonable. I… just want to live alone." Sakura whispered.

"Sakura…. How about we live next to each other?" Tomoyo popped the question so quickly it surprised Sakura.

"Um… I… I would like that very much." Sakura said giving up.

"Yay! We'll be neighbors!" Tomoyo squealed.

"Ok we will need to figure this out. I'm going to go check on the internet for homes, ok?" Tomoyo asked as she took out her laptop and turned it on.

"Ok. We should really rent." Sakura suggested.

"Good idea!" Tomoyo said as she started typing furiously.

Sakura looked outside.

What do I do now? What happens if I don't have enough money to pay for the house? What if I can't sell the house? What about Syaoran Li? What a second! Why am I thinking about him? He is so rude! Maybe he didn't mean it… Why am I defending him? He doesn't deserve it.

"Earth to Sakura! Are you listening to me I said I found a reasonable house for you!" Tomoyo said waving her hand in front Sakura's face.

"Sorry. Let me see it." Sakura mumbled.

It was a beautiful looking house. The walls were painted a soft cream color and the windows were nice and big. The front yard looked inviting with a few flowers here and there. But the thing that caught Sakura's eyes was the magnificent Cherry Blossom tree that stood on the side of the house.

"It's lovely Tomoyo." Sakura said smiling.

"I knew you would like it!" Squealed Tomoyo.

"And look at the inside! I love that furniture! Brazilian cherry! Oh how delightful!" Tomoyo said delighted.

Sakura smiled. It really is beautiful.

"Look, Sakura! It has one kitchen, one living room, a family room, one master room, and two guest rooms! Oh Sakura you should so get it."

"Remember Tomoyo, we are only renting." Sakura reminded her.

"I know, silly!"

"Well how much?" Sakura asked.

"Wow! What a bargain! Only $3,050 a year!" Sakura couldn't believe her ears.

"No monthly payment?" Sakura asked shocked.

"No! And look there's a house right across from it, that's for rent." Tomoyo said happily. By now Tomoyo was jumping up and down like a jumping bean.

Sakura laughed. "Tomoyo please stop! You're going to break the bed!" Sakura laughed out.

"So?" Tomoyo laughed. "Remember I'm moving!"

Sakura smiled at Tomoyo.

I guess this is it. No more parents… no more brother… no more family. I'm the only one left… But, it can't be…

Sakura felt tears threatening to fall.

"Tomoyo, I have to go. I need to pay the bills at home then I need to sell and pack and a bunch of other things."

"Oh ok. I'll tell my body guards to give you a ride home." Tomoyo said as she saved the page with the homes.

"I'll e-mail you the info."

"Thanks. But I really would like to walk. I need to get my car. Hopefully it's still there." Sakura said getting up from the bed and walked to the door.

"No. They'll drop you off."

Reluctantly Sakura agreed and soon she was in the limo being driven to the restaurant.

"Here you are, Ms. Kinomoto." One of the ladies said as she opened the door.

"Thank you." Sakura smiled and bowed as they waited for her to find her car.

Sakura looked around the parking lot.

Where is my car? I could have sworn I left it right… Who is that standing by my car?

Ok now is a good time to remember some personal defense moves.

Sakura gulped down a knot that was in her throat.

"Is this your car?" Asked a male voice that sounded familiar.

"Syaoran…" Sakura whispered.

The figure stepped out into the light and grinned.

Her boyfriend.

"Conner…" Sakura sighed out.

"Sakura! Did Tomoyo tell you to call me? I was so worried!" He wrapped him arms around her.

"Yea… I just forgot that's all." Sakura mumbled.

Why do I feel so sad? There's no reason to want to see Syaoran. None what so ever!

"So who's Syaoran?" Conner's voice broke into her thoughts.

"Oh, he's nobody." Sakura replied.

"Alright. Just be careful. Oh! Here's your phone. Thankfully I found it, hu?"

Sakura nodded.

How about I drive you home? He asked smiling.

"Sure. Why not. But what about my car?" Sakura asked.

"Oh, never mind then. I just remembered I have to go do something. I love you. See you later." He placed a kiss on her cheek as he walked away.

"Bye." Sakura called back.

He's always in a hurry. It's like he never has time for me anymore…

Sakura sighed.

She got into her car (which thankfully the key was still in the engine.) and drove home.

Once she arrived home she paid bills, and started packing.

This is so boring…

Sakura sat on her bed and let her mind wonder.

Ok I packed my jewelry, my shoes, um what else? Oh the kitchen stuff…

RIIING! RIIING! RIIING!

The phone rang annoyingly.

"I'm coming!" Sakura yelled at the phone.

"Hello?" Sakura asked.

"Is this Sakura Kinomoto?" A male voice asked into the phone.

"Yes. How may I help you?"

"Hi, I'm the chief of police and I was hoping you'll be able to come to the station. We need to talk about your father's will. And plenty of other things."

"Um, I'm sorry sir, but I'm in the middle of packing." Sakura said. Anything to get out of it.

"Oh? You're moving?" The chief asked surprised.

"Yes. Maybe later." Sakura said.

"Alright. But if you find an opening in your schedule please call me at…" As he said the number Sakura covered the phone. She wasn't planning on calling back.

"Alright?"

"Yes. Of course. Good bye." Without waiting for an answer she hung up.

I can't deal with this. At least not now.

Ding! Ding!

Time for medicine…

Sakura walked over to her bathroom and placed two pills into her mouth.

Nausea swept over her.

No! Not again!

Sakura walked clumsily over to her bed and lied down.

It felt like her head was spinning.

Sakura's quickening breaths soon became deep even breaths.

"No more medicine. At least not for a while…" Sakura whispered as she shut her eyes to be taken into a dreamless sleep.
