The Wizarding World Book One
Our Destiny
Chapter 5
Three Years Ago
Sakura was walking home from school like she normally does.
"Sakura. I hope you get to come over later this week." Said one of her friends.
"I will. I need to get home now but I'll call you later. I just have to talk to my father." Sakura told her.
The two friends waved good bye and Sakura continued home.
She couldn't wait to make dinner for her father and brother.
"Hello little girl." Spoke a voice.
"Um..hello sir."
"You look like a lost child I'm looking for? What's your name?" He asked.
Sakura knew better. "Sorry. But I'm not allowed to tell you."
"Ah. Smart girl. Run along then." He said.
Sakura most certainly did. She ran all the way home.
"That was so weird." She said to herself as she let herself in the house.
And you know what happened after she entered the house. Finding her brother, no sign of her father, the man trying to take her and her passing out from light.
But this now goes to the hospital.
Sakura slowly woke up and Tomoyo was sitting right next to her.
"Tomoyo?"
"Sakura! Oh my your awake."
"What happened?" She asked.
"We were hoping you could tell us. The neighbor hood called the police and found you and Toya on the ground. And where is your father?" Tomoyo asked.
Sakura shook her head. "I don't know."
And she told the police the same thing. Tomoyo's mother let them investigate for a while.
And let Sakura know directly when she was in school.
"You can stay with us till your brother wakes up. Or they find your father." Tomoyo said.
"Thank you." Sakura smiled. "Can I see my brother?" She asked.
The doctor walked in. "Your brother is sadly...in a coma. But you may see him." He said.
Sakura nodded and went to see him. He looked at peace. And Yukito was there as well.
"Sakura."
"Yukito!" Sakura hugged him tight and cried in his shoulder.
"It's alright. Toya is going to make it through." He told her.
"Mother. We can't let Toya go." Tomoyo said to her.
While her mother didn't think so, seeing Sakura so upset over this...plus it was her cousin's son as well. That would be like killing off a part of what's left of her. And hurt Sakura even more with her father not here. "Alright. I'll take care of it." She told her.
"You better go." Yukito said.
Sakura nodded. She said her words to Toya then left with Tomoyo and her mother.
Being in a hospital for three days wasn't the best time.
But School wasn't any better.
School, everyone was talking about what happened.
"Are you okay?" Tomoyo and a few other friends asked her.
"I'm fine." Is all she'd say on the matter.
During school she went on like it was normal.
But at Tomoyo's house... "Sakura. I hope you don't mind, but I've been thinking of doing to privet tutoring for Tomoyo on a few things. I was hoping you would be okay with joining her?" Tomoyo's mother asked.
"You've let me stay here with you do of course I'll do it with her." She said it with a smile on her face.
"Alright. You both can start next year. I'll give you a break this year." She said.
Sakura and Tomoyo spent most of the year being all normal like.
But Sakura still wanted to cook. And clean. And do all her normal things at home.
Tomoyo's mother has caught her doing things she shouldn't be doing. But it's what she's so used to.
Visiting Toya on the weekends is what keeps her going.
"Hey Toya." Nothing but silence. "Well, things at Tomoyo's house are going well. Though her mother isn't letting me help with...anything. I can't clean or cook, it's driving me crazy. I hope you wake up soon. I miss you. Father still hadn't been found yet. I hope he's alright. I wish you'd tell me what happened at the house. Before I got home."
She would talk to him about some of the same things. Just wondering what could have happened. Giving him updates on their father. But she really hoped he'd talk back. Sakura knew he could hear her. But she really wanted him to speak back to her. So she could go home.
Yukito would call and talk to her every now and then. Just to check up on her or to chat. See how she is.
"Sakura. Want to try my new dress on?" Tomoyo asked.
"Sure..." Sakura's been more of Tomoyo's model as she's living here. It's been fun. But its a little much with each outfit. As cute as they are...not a lot of them are Sakura's...style.
"It's great!"
"It is Tomoyo. But...It's a little big on me and...red isn't the best color on me." Sakura said.
"What are you talking about, every color is perfect on you. And I bet Yukito would say the same thing." Tomoyo said teasingly.
Sakura blushed. She hasn't seen Yukito since she left the hospital.
"Come on. It's for the winter dance."
"Were six Tomoyo."
"Well, it's not for another few years. Like...four. Maybe five. But it's good to get an early start." She said.
Sakura sighed. She couldn't believe that she'd be going to a ball like that. Or be going with anyone.
"I don't know Tomoyo."
"Don't worry. By then you'll have a boyfriend for sure." Tomoyo said.
Sakura shook her head. "Boyfriend?!"
"What was that?" Tomoyo's mother came in. "You both will NOT be having ANY boyfriends WHAT SO EVER!" She made that clear.
Tomoyo felt bad. But Sakura felt worse. And that was only one year.
Two Years Ago
Sakura's seventh birthday was an exciting one.
She got so many things and things changed for a lot of reasons. Her and Tomoyo were like top of class in the homeroom.
Sakura made even more friends and had after school practice.
It was great. Her normal life was different for just a year.
Yukito still visited Toya but stopped calling Sakura.
"Hey. Isn't your party great?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yes. Your mother knows the kind of party to through." Sakura smiled.
But it was all to fancy. Yup, her life's changed. The police came by and told her that her father has no been sighted or been anywhere around.
Tomoyo's mother thinks they should give up. Saying he's abandoned them. While Sakura doesn't believe it, where has her father gone?
"Alright let's party!" Tomoyo's mother has been taking good care of Sakura. That's all she needs to be thankful for.
"I kinda want to see my brother." Sakura said.
"But the party-"
"Is great. But I would like to visit my brother. I haven't seen him in awhile." Sakura said.
Tomoyo's mother sighed. "Fine." She said.
Sakura left her party and headed to the hospital to visit her brother.
Hoping to see Yukito. But when she got there, he wasn't there.
"No Yukito again. Why hasn't he talked to me?" Sakura asked.
"Hey Toya. It's my birthday. I'm eight now. I'm getting bigger every year. As father would say. I miss you." She said sadly.
After her short visit with her brother she came home and went to her room and started on her work.
Her and Tomoyo were being tutored now so work was harder and had to be done on time. And perfectly.
While Tomoyo didn't mind it, Sakura struggled a little.
She wasn't understanding how some of the stuff worked. But Tomoyo helped clear most of it up.
They shared the time to learn together. And it was really fun. Till the tutor glared at the two for not paying attention.
"Girls. If you don't listen and look you'll never understand and pass your tests." Said the tutor.
"Sorry." Tomoyo said.
"Sorry sir." Sakura frowned. She's never been called out on before unless it's reading out loud to the class or to play her instrument.
"Good. Now, pay attention. This is important history." And the lesson continued.
Sakura wasn't thrilled about this but while she lived with Tomoyo and her mother, she wasn't going to complain. She just was going to have to adapt. Even if it's already been a year and she's not used to it.
Once the lesson was over dinner was ready and it was quiet.
"Girls. I've had a talk with the tutorer. And I'm told you two aren't paying any attention. That your both goofing off."
"No mother. Were just a little over joyful with the fact were together while learning. I'm sorry it sounds like we aren't listening to our lessons." Tomoyo said.
"Yes. Sorry Ma'am." Sakura said to add in.
Tomoyo's mother sighed. "If this keeps up...I might have to home school you both. Things are getting me worried. The fact some homes are being abandoned."
The news wasn't Sakura's best, but everyone in school talks about how there's many missing people or families that have abandoned their homes.
"It's true. A few students are talking about it." Tomoyo said.
"It's sad." Sakura nodded in agreement.
"Maybe I should." Tomoyo's mother mumbled.
"What's that?" Sakura asked.
"Nothing."
"By any chance, has Yukito call?" Sakura asked.
"No he hasn't." She said.
Sakura sighed. "He hasn't called in a long while. And I haven't seen him visiting Toya. But the nurse says he is. Is he avoiding me?" Sakura asked herself.
"Why don't you try calling him?" Tomoyo said.
"I think it's best to focus on school. He must be too." Tomoyo's mother said.
"I guess. He is in high school." Sakura shrugged.
Dinner went quiet the rest of the evening.
As Sakura lay in her bed wondering if she should call Yukito like Tomoyo said.
But he must be busy if he hasn't called.
Why was she feeling so alone all of a sudden? No one wants to look for her father, her brother's friend isn't talking to her, and by next week, she would wake up to her and Tomoyo being pulled from school to be taught at home.
This was starting to not be Sakura's best year.
"And on the later news, there isn't any clue as to way all these disappearances are happening or any connection to the people. The police have many leads and are all leading to dead ends. If anyone has any information about these people doing this, please call this number or the police with anything you have."
The news was growing on all these abandoned houses and the missing people.
Even a few teachers were gone now. Some students were missing as well.
"Girls. I've decided that, I'm going to have you both home schooled." Tomoyo's mother came right out and said it.
Tomoyo was happy and sad, Sakura on the other hand, felt like her whole life was a mess since she came home and found her brother. The sight of that man...the light she thinks she saw and her father missing. It's all something around her.
"This will be great. It's going to be just us Sakura." Tomoyo said.
"No Tomoyo. Sadly, you and Sakura are going to have different teachers. Meaning you won't be learning together. It's too distracting. I'm sorry." Tomoyo's mother said.
One Year Ago
Sakura was in her room drawing pictures of her friends she missed. being eight and only seeing Tomoyo was getting old. She wasn't even allowed to see her brother without someone with her. It was like she was trapped in a tower. Rapunzel?
Well, which ever, she felt like she wasn't living her life anymore. And it was getting frustrating.
"Sakura. Come on for breakfast." Called Tomoyo.
"Coming." She said and closed her book. She headed down and found herself sitting at a feast of pancakes, eggs, and bacon with juice.
"Eat up girls. You have a long day of learning. And I'm going to be late for work. See you for dinner." Tomoyo's mother said. She had been working a lot more since Both girls were pulled from school. And now she's hardly home anymore.
"Bye mom!" Tomoyo said.
"Bye." Sakura said.
And she was off.
"We better hurry and eat." Tomoyo said.
"Yes." Sakura said. She's learned to watch her mouth for the words she has on her mind. It's gotten her into more trouble then she can count now.
Eating breakfast t took awhile before Sakura finished. Even though there's only three things it's a LOT of food.
"Finally." Sakura said.
"Come on. You girls have a lot of work to do." Said the teachers.
Sakura and Tomoyo went their separate ways and was started on school.
"Now, which general-"
Sakura hated History. And Math. And English. And every other subject. Except for Literature. She enjoyed the reading and all. Different books meaning there was a new story to take her any and every where but HERE!
"Are you listening Sakura?" Asked the teacher.
"Yes. I'm taking notes." She said holding up her paper.
With a nod the teacher continued.
Sakura wanted something better. She wanted her normal life back. She wanted her father and brother. Her friends in school. She wanted to cook and clean and do normal things she loved to do. Not be treated like this. Maybe that's what she could ask for. She was turning nine in a few days. That's what she could do.
"Miss Sakura."
"Yes? I'm taking notes." She repeated.
Most the morning went by and it was the afternoon. Sakura went to the kitchen to fix lunch.
"What do we have to eat for lunch?" She asked herself.
"How are your class going?" Sakura turned to see Tomoyo. "Fine. I'm glad it's lunch time."
"Miss Tomoyo. Your lunch is right here. Shall we go?" Tomoyo nodded to her teacher.
Unlike Sakura, Tomoyo has to have lunch while taking some of her lessons. Sakura got a break like it was school. Sakura felt bad that Tomoyo didn't get a break.
"Right. I'll see you at dinner Sakura. Unless we finish early." Tomoyo smiled and headed out.
Sakura rolled her eyes. Tomoyo could finish early and Sakura too. But Sakura was slow and Tomoyo had extra classes. And then there's them being a lady class. Yes that's a thing.
So, Sakura made a sandwich real quick and easy.
Then the phone rang. "Hello?"
"Hey Sakura."
"Yukito?!"
"Yea. I'm sorry about not calling this long. Things have gotten out of hand and my time was limited. I did visit Toya at least." Yukito explained why.
"Oh. Well, I'm glad you called me now." Sakura smiled.
"Miss Sakura!"
"Sorry. I have to go. Cal we meet at the hospital to see Toya?" She asked.
"Sure. I'll be there around 6." He said.
"Great." And hung up the phone. "I'm almost done." Sakura yells.
She quickly finishes her lunch and got back to her school work.
Sakura couldn't wait till she was finished. Then she could get to the hospital and visit Toya and see Yukito.
"Are you listening?"
Sakura shook her head. "Sorry. I guess I'm getting tired." She said.
"Wake up!" The teacher yelled.
"I am." Sakura said.
The rest of the school time was boring.
"I'm home!" Tomoyo's mother called.
"Hey mom."
"Hi. I'm sorry. But I need to get to the hospital to meet Yukito and visit Toya." Sakura said.
"I'm sorry. What? You cannot go out there."
"But he's my brother."
"I know that. But...Listen. Yukito is a suspect-"
"What?" Sakura didn't understand. Why was Tomoyo's mother telling her not to go?
"He's a suspect in the disappearance in your father and many other people." She said.
"Mother! That was a cold case. Because you told them to." Tomoyo said. "Just let her go. I'll go with her."
"Tomoyo. I don't want you both to go missing either. So I think it's better if you stay away from him till-"
"I'm going. I'm not leaving a friend. I left everyone of my other friends by your request and I'm not leaving Yukito. With Toya in that coma, I'm all he's got. I am not leaving him." And Sakura left the house.
The one time she ever went rouge. And it was to keep her friendship with Yukito.
Arriving at the hospital, Sakura found her brother in his bed. And Yukito.
"Hello Sakura."
"Yukito. I'm so happy to see you." Sakura was revealed.
She explained to Yukito how she's been feeling while living with Tomoyo and her mother. How she's not herself anymore.
"Well, Sakura. I'm so sorry you are living like that. But she's the only one who can care for you."
"I wish I could live with you. But I'm sure that's not happening." Sakura sighed.
"Yes. I'm sorry. " Yukito said.
"Can we keep meeting here?" She asked.
"If she's that worried about you being around me, then maybe not. It's better if you listen to her. If you need to, make a deal with her. Meet her halfway." Yukito said.
Sakura nodded. And when she got back that's what she did.
For her ninth birthday, she got a deal that she would visit her brother and call Yukito to talked.
And were back in the present.
"And that's my three years." Sakura said.
Hermione was shocked, impressed and horrified. "Wow! Well, try to get some rest." She said.
Sakura nodded and went to sleep.
