Hey guys! I thought I'd tell you why I chose the name Sakura for my OC. While in middle school and during a summer, I started watching Cardcaptor Sakura, and I loved that show. And because Shiro is Japanses, I wanted to match a Japanses name.
I've been wanting to do this one for awhile, I hope you like it!

It was the middle of the night, everyone is sleeping, the only noise is Hunk's loud snores. Sakura awoke, she gently removed Keith's arm very carefully before she sat up and straightened up. She stepped around Romelle, who was near Hunk, the yellow Paladin is snoring like a chainsaw.
Sakura nearly tripped over and tumbled on top of him, but was able to keep her balance. Then she stepped around Lance and was able to make it to the tarp. Looking back at everybody, Sakura lowered the tarp and walked off.

After a little while longer, Keith was awoke by someone shaking him. "Keith." Pidge is shaking his arm. "Wake up."
"Huh?" Keith blinked sleepily and looked at Pidge, who had a worried look. "Pidge? What's going on?"
"Sakura's missing."
Keith was instantly wide awake now. "What?" He quickly sat up and looked around, everyone was there incept for Sakura.
"I looked all around." Pidge told him as they stood up. "She's not in White Lion either."
The red Paladin nodded. "Ok. I should go find her. Stay here and update the team once they're awake." The flashlight on his Paladin uniform turned on and he moved, stepping around the still snoring Hunk, then stepped over Lance.
Walking up to the tarp, Keith gently pushed it aside before walking out.

Sakura sighed heavily as she leaned against a huge rock, her knees pulled up to her chest as she hugged her legs.
"Nothing is accomplished with tears." The voice had Sakura jump startled and turn to see Acxa.
"Leave me alone." Sakura turns back around to hug her legs tighter.
"Can't we at least talk like adults?"
Sakura stayed quiet.
"Don't you want to ask me a question?" Acxa asked again.
Sakura again stayed quiet.
Acxa sighed. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for trying to kill you all."
Sakura still remained quiet.
"Fine." Acxa said, finally caving in. "I'm sorry to disturb you." She turned to walk away.
"Why aren't you so evil driven like Zethrid and Ezor?" Sakura's voice had Acxa stop and turn back around.
"What?"
"You're not like Zethrid and Ezor, are you?" Sakura wanted to know, turning to face the Galra fully. "Why?"
Acxa looked down for a moment, then looked back at the white Paladin. "I have always been adhere to the code of honor. I was loyal to Lotor to a fault." She paused. "Lotor killed my friend. After that I started to see a change."
Sakura blinked. "Your trust in him started to fade." She realized, Acxa nodded.
"Yes. After that Zethrid, Ezor, and I started to question Lotor's loyalty."
"That's why you three pulled back in the end. During our finale battle with Lotor." Sakura sat back down.
"Yes. For years I always knew what kind of life I wanted."
"Until now." Sakura stood back up and folded her arms. "Lotor's dead. So now, you want to come to our side?"
"I want the chance to right the wrongs that I have done over the years." Acxa said.
"If you can prove that." Sakura said firmly. "Then I'll look forward to it. But for now, you still have to gain my respect."

From around the corner, Keith stood as he watched the two. He couldn't hear what they were saying.
Shiro came over to his side. "Keith! Where is she?" He asked in concern.
"Right there." Keith nods towards Sakura, who was still having words with Acxa.
"That can not be good." Shiro said.
"No." The Red Paladin agreed. "But I think they're finding common ground. Or trying to at least."
Shiro sighs heavily. "I think I know why Sakura's being so mouthy towards Acxa." He, and Keith watch as Acxa walks away. "Come on." He starts to move, and after a long moment Keith follows.

Sakura had resumed sitting on the ground.
"You shouldn't take all your anger out on Acxa." Shiro told her as he came up to her side and sat down.
"Why not?" She shrugged.
"Your throwing your anger out on the wrong person." He told her. "I'm the one who you should angry with."
She turned to him. "You?"
"And Keith." Shiro added.
"That's where you're wrong." She stood up and took a step forward, folding her arms.
"Sakura, that's enough." Shiro said firmly as he stood up, with Keith's help. "Your real targets of angry, are with both me and Keith."
Sakura kept her back to the two.
"Kura, he's right." Keith told her, and she turned a little to look at them. "We left you. The only two that you felt safest with."
"We weren't there for you when you needed either of us." Shiro said. "I'm sorry I died. And I'm sorry my evil clone threw you for a loop."
"And shortly after that, I left to join the Blades." Keith added. "I'm sorry for making you think that I cared about the Blades more then you."
"Sis." Shiro took a step towards Sakura. "Don't take your anger out on Acxa because of our mistakes."
Sakura kept her back to them, but they could tell she was starting to cry.
"We're here now." Keith told her gently. "I told you before. We started this journey together, and that's how we'll finish it." He walked up to her, and gently placed a hand on her shoulder. "Kura, we're here now." He promised. "And we're not leaving you again."
"Right." Shiro walked up to Sakura's other side. "Your trust in people has been severely damaged because of the events that happened to us, and because of Lotor's actions. You were once a very firm believer of redemtion."
Sakura is chewing on her lower lip, trying to keep her crying under control. "I don't know how to believe in that anymore." She whispered in a choke. "It's too far damaged."
"We'll help you repair it." Keith told her gently. "Kura, we're about to go back to our home Planet. We have a long way to go too. Can you find your trust in us again? We need you now."
Shiro nods. "More then ever."
Sakura wipes her tears. "I have too. The two guys I love most." She nods. "I need both of you."
"We're right here." Shiro promised. "And we need you too."
"And we are not leaving you." Keith added.

From a close corner, the others were watching. "Awww!" Hunk cooed, his hands clasped and his fingers laced.
"These are the times that I miss my mommy!" Coran cried as he hugged Lance, keeping the Blue Paladin's arms to his sides.
