Side Note: Later on Sakura is talking to Aidou's dad. She mentions something about her mother, and not being sure if she had siblings or not. I might make that a background thing for her mother so it might end up as a dream, or a flashback, in this story, and explain about the whole sibling situation.
Aidou actually likes me. He really likes me. I can't believe it. He is so sweet, I thought. I blushed
"Sakura-chan," A cheerful voice called.
I felt Aidou's arm wrap around me. I laid my head on his shoulder. "What is it Tsukiko?" I asked. I noticed that Kain, and Aidou's two older sisters were gone.
"Tsukiko, Aidou why don't you leave us alone for awhile," Their father suggested. "Don't worry I won't let anything happen to her. I promise."
I looked up at Aidou. I don't think Aidou likes that idea.
"Come on Aidou," Tsukiko said. "Dad be careful. She's still a little fragile. We'll be back soon Sakura-chan."
I nodded. I didn't want to lose Aidou's warmth.
"Don't worry Sakura. Kain and Aidou filled me in," He said. "Is there something that you or Aidou aren't hiding is there?" He asked me.
"Well, maybe." I sighed. "It's just that I really like Aidou. Aidou feels the same way."
I took a seat on the couch. He sat down next to me.
"You don't have that many memories of your past do you?"
I shook my head. "Not that many. Well, when I first got here I had a dream about my mother. She was murdered by my father. He renamed me Sakura. My actual name was Saiya. When Aidou bit me more memories came back. My mother was pretty close to the Ichijou family. I'm not sure if she had any siblings. She might be related to the family, I'm not sure. I wish I knew more. I don't know that much about my father. I don't know if my father was murdered or what exactly happened to him." I brought my knees to my chest.
"It's all right. Tsukiko wouldn't stop bugging me until I said that you could be a part of the family," He explained. "At least you have a family now."
I looked up at him. "You mean it?" I asked.
My adoptive father nodded. "Don't worry about Aidou or Tsukiko. They're probably out shopping or something. Who knows what they're up to."
I heard the front door open.
"Dad, Sakura-chan we're home," Tsukiko called.
"Come on. We better not keep them waiting."
"Hey Tsukiko-chan what's up?" I asked.
"We just went shopping that's about it. Aidou didn't like it though," Tsukiko said. Tsukiko and I laughed. "Aidou picked some clothes out for you. I hope you like them," She whispered to me in a hushed tone. "Dad can she be a part of the family?"
"She is now," Our father said.
Tsukiko jumped up and down with joy. "Thanks daddy."
"Thanks Tsukiko-chan for picking out some clothes for me. You too Aidou," I said. I gave her a hug.
Aidou came over and hugged us both.
"Glad you're part of the family princess," Aidou whispered. Aidou let Tsukiko go, but he kept me close.
"How come you keep calling me princess?" I asked him.
"There might not be reason for it."
"Save it Tsukiko," Aidou snapped. Aidou pushed me up the stairs and into his room.
