"Aunt Nikita!!!" Sakura ran into the open arems of her Aunt Nikita.
"Hello, Sakura!" Aunt Nikita greeted. "How are you?"
"I'm good." Sakura said with a smile on her face.
"Where's your brother?"
"Oh, he's coming." Sakura looked over her shoulder. Touya was coming with 3 bags in his hand. There were a few more bags on the baggage cart. "Uh...I think I better go help him." Sakura said, smiling weakly. Nikita giggled.
"Go ahead." Sakura ran towards Touya. He glared at Sakura. She gave him a weak smile.
"Oh, now you decide to help me?" Touya said sarcastically.
"I'm sorry! I just couldn't help it! I'm so sorry!" _Now you know how I feel when you stick me with all the chores!_
Touya just rolled his eyes. Sakura grabbed the rest of the bags. Touya greeted Aunt Nikita. He put the bags in the trunk of her car. Soon, Nikita, Touya, and Sakura drove back to the house.

"Here we are!" Nikita said when she opened the door to the house. Sakura stepped into the house and breathed in the air. The house smelled of country gardens. Sakura put her bags on the floor. Nikita picked up the bags Sakura had put down. "I'll take them."
"Thank you, Aunt Nikita." Sakura said cheerfully.
"Come, you two. I'll show you to your rooms." Nikita walked up the stairs, leading them to their rooms. Sakura hurried up the stairs, anxious to see their rooms. Sakura's room was white. There was a bed in the corner and a night table next to it. On the night table was a vase with flowers and a picture of Sakura's mother. There were other things around like a dresser and a mirror. Touya's room was pretty much the same, except it (the walls) were blue. Sakura's favoritart of the room was the picture of her mother. Sakura loved her mother. She was so pretty. Aunt Nikita looks a lot like her mother. (AN: If you haven't already figured it out, you'd have to be as slow as me! -_-* Nikita is Sakura's mother's sister. Get it? Got it? Good!) After Sakura and
Touya saw their rooms, they put their bags in the room they would be staying in. Sakura ran down the stairs, looking for Aunt Nikita.
"Aunt Nikita! Can we go out?"
"Go out where?" Nikita became curious.
"I don't know! Anywhere. I want a tour of Tokyo!"
"Hmmm. I think that can be arranged."
"Yay!" Sakura jumped up and down. "I can't wait!" Sakura and Nikita went to the car. They drove around town for an hour. When they got back home, Nikita gave her some pointers on getting around Tokyo.
"Now, remember, Sakura. If you ever get lost, ask for directions. Tell them this address and they should tell you how to get home. The people in this neighborhood are very nice!"
"Okay, Aunt Nikita."

The next day, Nikita took Sakura out for some ice cream. Nikita also gave a mini walking tour of Tokyo. Later on, Sakura went to the park. Since it was near the house, Sakura asked to walk home...by herself. Nikita asked if Sakura was sure that she wanted to walk home by herself.
After all, it was her second day in Tokyo. Sakura was positive. She figured 'Why not get lost now and get familiar with Tokyo?' Nikita approved, knowing that Sakura was a smart girl and she would find her way home. Sakura stayed at the park a little while longer. About 30 minutes later, shecided to go home She was walking along a street. She recognized a street name. She made a left. Suddenly, her heart started racing. _Oh my gosh! Where am I?_ She started to panic, but then she remembered what her aunt said. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. In front of her was a simple two story house. It had a flower garden on each side. Sakura decided to go there to ask for directions. She took a few more deep breath before approaching the house. She slowly walked up to the front door. She rang the doorbell. Soon, a girl sixteen years of age with blondigtails opened the door. She looked at Sakura and gave her a little smile. Sakura smiled back a little.
"Um, excuse me, but I'm new to this town and I can't find my way back home. Can you please help me out?"
"Oh, of course! Where do you live?" Sakura was about to tell the girl, but someone else came to the door. It appeared to be the girl's brother.
"Who's at the door?" the boy asked curiously.
"It's none of your business! Go away!" The girl said, pushing him away. The boy looked at Sakura. Sakura smiled weakly.
"Hey...you're not from around here, are you?"
"Well, no." Sakura replied.
"You're asking my sister here for directions, aren't ya?" the boy asked.
"Well, yes."
"Well, don't follow her directions! She'll get you even more lost!" The boy started to laugh.
"Shut up! Go away!" The girl pushed her brother away. The girl came out and stood next to Sakura. She looked at Sakura. Sakura looked at the girl in a funny way. "Sorry about that. That was my little brother. He's really annoying! Don't listen to a word he says. He's just a dumb ten year old." Sakura giggled a little. The girl giggle a little, too. "So...where do you live?" Sakura told her the address. The girl did know where the street was. She walked Sakura to her house. When they got there, Sakura thanked the girl.
"Oh, by the way. What's your name?" Sakura asked.
"Oh, my name is Usagi." she said, smiling.
"My name's Sakura. Thanks for your help."
"No problem! If you need me, just find me! I live right down the street. Come visit me any time!"
"Okay! Thanks again, Usagi!"
"You're welcome, Sakura!"
"Bye!"
"Bye!"
*****
The next day, Sakura and Touya went to the arcade. Touya was having a blast. He went on every machine in the arcade. Sakura, on the other hand, was being bored to death. She wasn't into the whole video game thing. She sat at a table, sipping her strawberry milkshake. Suddenly, she heard someone call out her name.
"Sakura!" She looked up to see who it was. _Who is that?_
