It's you

Chapter 2 - Start of a new life

"It's about you," he started.

"What's about me?" the little girl asked again.

"Everything about you."

The little girl looked at him puzzled and just decide to let him talk.

"Let's start with out introductions. I'm…"

"I'm Hiro Yamato." Hiro introduced (A/N SO! Did u guys guess it was Hikaru Yamato! Haha I was gonna put hikaru instead but changed my mind)

The little girl looked at him and just smiled. She was a bit confused on why his name was a bit familiar.

"Hiro, that's a nice name." The little girl said smiling.

"Your name is so much nicer." Hiro said smiling at her. "It's cherry blossoms."

"Cherry Blossoms?" she asked looking at Hiro confused.

"Do you know what cherry blossoms is in Chinese or Japanese?" Hiro asked.

The little girl thought for a while then remembered. "It's Ying Fa in Chinese but Japanese I don't know."

"I see. Well then your name will be Sakura from now on. Sakura is cherry blossoms in Japanese. Your mother loved Sakura blossoms." Hiro told her.

"Who's she?" Sakura asked really confused.

"Her name was Nadesiko and your father's name was Fujitaka. They were both really nice people." Hiro said started to get really angry.

"What happened to them?" Sakura asked wanting to know what happened to her parents.

"They… they… died," Hiro told her sadly.

He put his head near his chest and was really sad and angry at the same time. Sakura looked at him and knew he was sad about her parents dieing. She was sad to but she couldn't really remember them so she didn't feel that much pain.

Sakura put her small little hand on Hiro's face and smile. "Don't cry," she said.

"Crying doesn't suit people. But a smile does." Sakura said with a smile on.

Hiro couldn't help but also smile at the little girl. He was so glad that she didn't take it badly. He knew that she must be sad but he also knew she was strong.

"Well, let's continue on with talking now. Well, your name is Sakura Kinomoto and you're 6 years old right now. Your birthday was April 1st." Hiro started.

There wasn't anything she needed to know about the past except for one important thing. Hiro put his hand in his pocket and took out the letter he read last night. He handed it to Sakura and she read it. After Sakura read it, she didn't really understand everything but most of it got to her. She looked up at Hiro confused again!

"Yamato? That's your last name but you're not Hikaru." Sakura said thinking.

"That's correct. My name isn't Hikaru, that's my father's name. I'm his son. My father passed away a few weeks ago." Hiro explained.

"I'm sorry. So that means I won't be able to get all the help needed." Sakura said worried.

"That's not true. There's still me. I know mostly everything my father knew. It won't be that hard."

"Thanks. So what do I have to know?" Sakura questioned.

"The necklace," Hiro started getting the necklace but couldn't find it.

"Is it this one?" Sakura asked taking out the necklace from her pocket.

"I went to look at if before you came and it started tickling me. Also something warmed up my hand." Sakura said looking at the necklace.

"I see. That will happen. The special power you mom was talking about. 'That necklace contains special powers that only some people in this world can control and obtain. You are one of those people. You must use the necklace for good use only. You can't use it for any bad. When the time is right, you'll find out about the powers.' Was what your mother said. My father told me this once about this really special necklace. The user will start to feel the power from the necklace as they grow. They won't feel all of its energy at once but in time they will. It will take years until the maximum power from the necklace is unleashed." Hiro told her thinking of what his father had told him.

"The people that killed your parents might come after you. So in the time being, I'll train you. Train you to be like your parents. They were great fighters. They knew a lot of things and they were very intelligent. I'll also take you to an excellent school for education. Plus I will have your name changed."

"Name changed?" Sakura looked at Hiro like he was mad.

"Yea. Not your first name but just your last name."

"Oh. So what's it going to be then?"

"Yamato of course."

NINE YEARS LATER

A 14 year old Sakura was rollerblading quickly to school.

"Man. I'm going to be late as usually." Sakura said picking up speed.

Just before the bell rang, she got into her classroom. She opened the door and ran to her seat.

"Made it." Sakura said trying to catch her breath.

"Just by one second." A raven hair girl with violet eyes said. She was the same age as Sakura and goes to the same school.

"Shut up Tomoyo." Sakura said rolling her eyes.

Sakura didn't mean it in a mean way. They were best friends after all. They were ever since Sakura started going to this school. Hiro had put her into a private school called Tokyo Private HS. (A/N I made that up. I dunno if there's an actual skool named that but I doubt it)

It was near the end of January. Meaning, exams were coming up for them. (A/N my school goes like that so I'm putting it as the same as mine)

"Hey Sakura. You wanna go watch a movie today or something." Tomoyo asked just before the teacher came in.

"Nah. I have so much work for every subject it's not funny. I hate end of semester." Sakura whispered back to Tomoyo.

Tomoyo laughed at Sakura but looked to the front of the class when the teacher started taking attendance.

Homeroom is the worse class. It's the longest too. It was English. Plus the teacher was bad at it too. Sakura's English was the best in the class in speaking but her writing could be better. They just finished reading a book called Ellen Foster (A/N uh.. I read it and it's not my fav book.. XP) and the teacher was talking about how they had to do a seminar with a group of 5 other people. He was making the groups too.

"Our second group, there's Sakura, Tomoyo, Stepfanie, Akira, Kai, and Dexter." The teacher said.

Sakura and Tomoyo looked at each other and gave each other shocked faces.

"Why Dexter?" Sakura murmured.

"I don't know." Tomoyo whispered back.

They got into their groups and sat near the back of the room.

"Hey everyone. Aren't you excited about this group project? I know what we should do." Dexter said once he sat down beside Sakura.

"Great Dexter." Kai said, rolling his eyes.

Kai was one of the popular boys in the school. He has blue spiked up hair. With blue eyes matching his hair. Stepfanie was known as one of the dancer people in their school. There was a special program for people to get into their school. It was for getting a better scholarship. Stepfanie got in for the dance program. Dexter knew mostly everything. It's scary at times. He will know your timetable for the semester by who knows how. Sometimes he would call people's house too for no good reason. Finally Akira had green hair up to his shoulders. His eyes were a blood red colour. (A/N I'm running out of ideas for eyes! haha)

"Ok. I think we should do our project on child abuse." Stepfanie said, doodling on her piece of paper.

"I think we should do it on racism." Kai said back.

Sakura shook her head in disappointment. She knew that her group wasn't going to get along well. She looked at Tomoyo and she thought the same too. This was going to be one long day.

Near the end of the period, the teacher came around asking the groups what they were doing their project on. When he came to Sakura's group. They said, "Racism."

It had took them a good half hour of arguing to come up with the topic. Kai and Stepfanie kept on arguing with each other, while everyone else just sat there and watched. Finally they did a group vote, and everyone except Stepfanie voted for racism. She was mad too but she couldn't do anything about it. She didn't have a choice but to go along with the group.

When the teacher got what every group was doing, the bell rang. Everyone got their bags together and went to their next class. Sakura's next class was math. Boring math. Tomoyo had math also but she had it with a different class. Their classrooms were across from each other. They both walked downstairs and went to their classrooms.

Sakura walked in and greeted Rika. Sakura put her backpack down on the desk next to Rika and went out the room. She went into Tomoyo's class. This was a daily routine for Sakura. (A/N actually it was more of a daily routine for me.. haha all this stuff is mostly based of wat I did in skool same wit the English project)

Then Sakura saw her teacher walking down the hall, so she went back into her class and sat down at her seat. Her friend, Kimiko ran into the room and closed the door. You see, the teacher would always think the door is lock because it usually is. But even when it wasn't, she would think it was. The teacher stood outside the room with her hands full. She had a stack of handouts in one hand and her work bag in her other hand.

After a minute or so, Kimiko opened the door. She was laughing when the teacher entered the class. She was trying to get ready for class fast.

"Everyone take out last night's homework." The teacher said.

You could hear all the binders opening and the books opening in the room. Everyone got their books out and took out their homework. Their teacher was nice but she would always rush class. You something new everyday and she would always give homework no matter what.

Math went by pretty quick. Sakura got mostly everything the teacher was saying. She would always be bored in class though. She sometimes wouldn't know what the teacher was saying. Therefore, she would have troubles with the homework.

Finally the bell rang and Sakura ran out of class. But before she could ran downstairs, her friend Fiona from her dance class stopped her.

"Sakura! What's the rush?" Fiona asked.

"Nothing. Just don't want to be late for dance. You know how our teacher can get." Sakura said walking down the stairs with Fiona behind her.

"That's true."

They both went to their lockers and got their dance clothes and went back upstairs to their classroom. They went into the change room and got changed into their dance clothes. When they got into their class, they meet their other friends.

"Hey Chiharu. Hey Naoko. Sup?" Sakura asked.

"Usually. Oh yea, we have the studio for the first 20 minutes of class." Chiharu told Sakura and Fiona.

"That's great. We can use all the space this way." Fiona said.

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's get started." Sakura said happily.

She took a CD from her backpack out and placed it into the CD player in the dance studio they were in. It was the room that they were usually in for their dance class. Since it's the end of the semester, they have to compose a dance for their final marks. Sakura's group was doing hip-hop. They were really good because Sakura and Fiona took hip-hop lessons together and Chiharu and Naoko took a hip-hop class during their summer vacation. They didn't have to worry much about their dance. They were nearly halfway done and they still had a week and a half to work on it.

Sakura closed the CD player and waited for the CD to load and then pressed play. Fiona, Chiharu, and Naoko were already in their places. The music started playing in the background and Sakura hurried to her spot. (A/N song is not mine.. belongs to Lindsay Lohan.. u no the song rumors.. I dun luv Lindsay lohan or hate her but I'm like addicted to this song.. XD)

Saturday steppin' into the club
And it makes me wanna tell the DJ
Turn It Up
I feel the energy all around
And my body can't stop moving to the sound

But I can tell that you're watching me
And you're probably gonna write what you didn't see
Well I just need a little space to breathe
Can you please respect my privacy

They were all dancing in sync with the music and didn't make any mistakes.

Why can't you just let me
Do the things I wanna do
I just wanna be me
I don't understand why
Would you wanna bring me down
I'm only having fun
I'm gonna live my life
Like I wanna do

I'm tired of rumors starting
I'm sick of being followed
I'm tired of people lying
Saying what they want about me
Why can't they back up off me
Why can't they let me live
I'm gonna do it my way
Take this for just what it is

They all did and turn and walked to the back and started doing more moves.

Here we are back up in the club
People taking pictures
Don't you think they get enough
I just wanna be all over the floor
And throw my hands up in the air to a beat like (What?)

I've gotta say respectfully
I would like it if you take the cameras off of me
'Cause I just want a little room to breathe
Can you please respect my privacy

Why can't you just let me
Do the things I wanna do
I just wanna be me
I don't understand why
Would you wanna bring me down
I'm only having fun
I'm gonna live my life
But not the way you want me to

I'm tired of rumors starting
I'm sick of being followed
I'm tired of people lying
Saying what they want about me
Why can't they back up off me
Why can't they let me live
I'm gonna do it my way
Take this for just what it is

Then Sakura rushed over to the CD player and stopped the music. She was tired from the dancing. They only needed one more minute to finish the song. They all gathered and sat down on the floor to rest. Sakura pressed play again and went over the rest of the music. They all brainstormed ideas and tested them out. After their 20 minutes, they thought of the next 40 seconds. (A/N believe me.. making a dance isn't that easy)

They went outside to the halls and tried out their ideas and saw how it went with the song. After they were done, they were all satisfied. They went over the dance a couple more times and then it was the end of the period.

They went to the change room and got changed into their normal clothes. After Sakura was done, she went downstairs to her locker. She had lunch now and had to look for Tomoyo. Tomoyo had the same lunch as her and today they decided to go out of school for lunch.

Sakura got out for cell phone from her backpack and called Tomoyo's cell phone.

"Moshi Moshi." Tomoyo's voice came on the other side.

"Hey Moyo. Where are you? I'm starving right now so let's go quick." Sakura said looking around for Tomoyo.

"I'm in the caf. I'm with Lili. She's getting something before her class starts."

"Oh. Well I'll coming to the caf rite now. I'll see ya there then. Ja" Sakura said and hung up the phone.

Sakura ran towards the caf and looked for Tomoyo. She saw Tomoyo and Lili lining up to pay for their food. She waited at the end of the line, which was outside a door. She stood there waiting for Tomoyo to get out so she could go get something to eat. Finally Tomoyo came out with Lili.

"Could you guys have been any slower?" Sakura said, slightly pissed off.

"Gomen, Sakura. The lunch ladies were being annoying as usually." Lili apologized.

"It's ok." Sakura said with a smile on her face.

"Well it's late. I don't want to be late for class. I'll catch you guys later." Lili said running off.

"Yes! Finally we can go get food. I'm so hungry." Sakura said walking towards the exit.

Tomoyo laughed at her statement. She's never seen Sakura this hungry before.

They walked across to the plaza that was across to the school. It wasn't far so most of the people from their school goes there. They went to eat pizza.

They went inside the pizza place and ordered their pizza. After 5 minutes, they got their pizzas and Sakura starting eating the whole pizza at once. In less than 2 minutes, Sakura was done her pizza.

Tomoyo looked at her and sweatdropped. She has never seen Sakura do that either.

"Yo. Sakura. Don't you think you're eating a bit too fast? You're going to get sick soon." Tomoyo asked taking a bit out of her pizza.

"Whatever. I was really hungry, so I couldn't help myself. You should try being that hungry." Sakura said swallowing her pizza.

After they were done their pizzas, they went back to school and just walked around everywhere.

They went to their lockers first and got their bags and books. After they walked to their friends' classrooms and waved at them. After that they went to sit by the outside of their last classroom's door. They both had Japanese for their last period.

It was fun because there were a lot of people that they knew and talked to in class. Their favourite class was probably Japanese. (A/N I'm not going to bother talking about their class now)

When school was over, Sakura went home fast. She had a lot of important things to do when she got home. She had fighting lessons with Hikaru, classes with Lika to learn to control her power, hip hop class, and homework too. She was one busy girl all the time.

She got to the gate of her house/ mansion and entered the code to the gate.

It opened slowly but when the gap got wide enough for Sakura to get through, she ran across the driveway. When she got to the door, it opened for her and she was greeted by Lika.

"Welcome back, Sakura." Lika said, smiling.

"Hi." Sakura said trying to catch her breathe. She didn't take her rollerblades home because she thought it would be a bother changing them at school.

"Where's… Otou-san?" Sakura managed to say, still trying to catch her breathe. Sakura had grown so close to Hikaru that she started calling him father. He didn't mind and Sakura was the one who came up with the idea too. Hikaru was like a father to Sakura even though he was only 20 when he found Sakura. So he's around 29 years old.

"He's not back yet. He called and said that he would be back at around 5 o'clock." Lika said taking Sakura's bags and walked towards her room.

Sakura had stayed in the room she had always been in. The room that she was in for the first time she was there. It has the same contents but with a touch of 'Sakura'. She had more stuff in the room and a ton more clothes in her closest.

When Sakura got into her room, she jumped onto her bed and rested. Meanwhile, Lika went back downstairs and got some cookies that she had made during the afternoon when Sakura was still at school. She brought it up with two glasses of milk on a tray.

"Here you go." Lika said placing it down onto the table in front of the couch.

"Finish you homework in two hours and then I'll start my lesson, ok? Today is going to be short because you have hip-hop and fighting." Lika informed Sakura.

"Thanks Lika." Sakura said getting off the bed and got a glass of milk.

She gulped it down in 10 minutes. That's why there were two glasses of milk. She would finish one in no time. After eating a cookie and changing into more comfortable clothes, Sakura sat down in front of her desk and got her homework out. She had to look up information on racism for English, do some sheets for math, and make a magazine for Japanese. She was almost done her magazine for Japanese and it was due next week. She just had to do one more article and do the finishing touches, so it wouldn't matter if she didn't finish that today.

After getting herself, organized, Sakura started doing her homework. Today was going to be one of those crazy days when you don't have enough time.
