Chapter 1
The Week of the Tragedy
"OI! KAIJUU! WAKE-UP!" Touya yelled. The auburn haired girl groggily opened her eyes. She saw her onni-chan's face right above hers.
"HOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" 17-year-old Sakura yelled.
"Finally your up! Me and Otou-san have to talk to you before we go on that excavation dig."
"I almost forgot, but Onni-chan can you do me a really big favor?" Sakura said.
"Yeah, what is it kaijuu?" He said smirking.
"GET OUT OF MY ROOM!!!!" she yelled. He left laughing. Sakura jumped in the shower. She put on a pair of bell-bottom jeans, and a light pink ¾ shirt. She left her short hair alone. She ran down-stairs to talk to Otou-san and Onni-chan.
"Ohayo!" She called.
"Ohayo Sakura-san!" Her father said.
"So what did you want to talk about? You practically talked my ear off last night." Sakura said.
"Oh yeah. In case of emergencies you know to go to Hikaru's house next door, right?" Fujitika said.
"Hai, but shouldn't you be going. Your suppose to be there in a couple of hours and it's a long drive. Don't worry. I'll be just fine." Sakura reassured him.
"Hai, I'm sure you will be." He said.
"Otou-san are you ready to go?" Touya called.
"Sakura come walk us to the car." They walked outside. Touya was waiting by the car. She gave them hugs and kisses, and watched them go. She ran back inside and grabbed her bag and roller blades. Soon she was rolling towards school, not knowing that this was going to be the day that her life would change forever.
"Did I make it?" Sakura asked her friend Naomi.
"Just in time, as always" Naomi said smiling.
"Phew, I thought I was going to miss class like yesterday."
"So your dad and bother left this morning Sakura-chan?" Naomi asked.
"Hai. They're going to be gone for the week. Your sleeping over tonight so I won't be lonely? Right?" Sakura asked friends.
"Of course! I'm glad your Dad said it was ok for me to stay the week at your house!" Naomi said gleefully.
3 HOURS LATER
"That math sure is a kicker, don't you think Sasami-chan?" Sakura asked
"Yeah, I hate math, but what can you do?" Sasami laughed.
"SAKURA KINOMOTO, PLEASE COME TO THE MAIN OFFICE IMMEDIATELY." A voice over the load speaker said. Sakura looked at Sasami.
"You'd better hurry, it sounds important." Sasami urged. Sakura picked up her lunch and ran to the main office. She went inside. When she got inside she saw a bunch of solemn faced people looking at her. Their was 2 policemen their.
"Kinomoto, Sakura?" policeman#1 asked.
"Hai"
"Are you related to a Kinomoto, Fujitika and Kinomoto, Touya?" He asked.
"Hai, there my father and bother could you please tell me what going on." Sakura said.
"I'm sorry to say this Miss. Kinomoto, but your father and bother were in a car accident this morning." The police officer said. Sakura's eyes widened in shock.
"Oh my god! Are they alright? What hospital are they at. Tale them to me NOW!" Sakura said clutching onto the officer's jacket. He hung his head.
"Gomen Nasai, I can not take you to them."
"Demo.." Sakura said, starting to figure things out.
"Your bother and father died. The collision was too much for their bodies to handle. Gomen." He said. Sakura's eyes teared immediately. She let go of his jacket, and backed away.
"No, you're lying!" she said softly.
"I wish I was." Sakura fell to the floor. The policemen rushed over to her.
"We have been ordered to take you to a Miss…. Bejin, Hikaru's house." Sakura just nodded her head.
2 DAYS LATER a couple hours after the funeral and will reading.
"Sakura-chan?" Hikaru walked in tentatively. She stared at the dull-eyed girl.
"What do you need." Sakura said.
"Don't you think you should be packing for China? Your flight leaves tomorrow. Do want some help?" She asked.
"Iya. I don't need help." She murmured. She started putting things in different boxes. Hikaru left the room. Sakura couldn't believe how much her life had changed in the last few days. Apparently, her father wanted her to live with a complete stranger, named Li,Yelan. She was part of the most powerful family called the Li Clan. She was supposedly a very close friend of her mothers, and now was her guardian. She knew little about the family, except that she had 5 children, 4 daughters who were older than her, and a son who was her age. They lived in Hong Kong. She also had a cousin who lived in Hong Kong, whom she had never met, named Tomoyo. She had wondered why she wasn't going to live with her own family, but it really didn't matter. They were all strangers. She felt so alone.
"Otou-san, Onni-chan why did you have to leave me?" Sakura said softly. Tears started to track their way down her cheeks.
IN HONG KONG
"Mother why are you cleaning one of the rooms down the hall?" a sullen Syaoran asked. Yelan turned to look at him.
"Xioalang, I'm cleaning out that room, because we are going to have someone else living here." She said.
"Who?" he asked with slight interest.
"Poor girl, her name is Kinomoto, Sakura. She's coming to live us because her father and bother were both killed in a car crash. I was a good friend with her mother, before she died, when Sakura was 3." She said sadness in her voice.
"Oh, that's very sad, but doesn't she have any other family?" Syaoran asked.
"Yes, actually. She's that friend of yours, Tomoyo isn't it. That's her cousin, but she's never met her either. Poor girl, she's all alone in the world. That's why we have to make her feel welcome. I expect you help her out at school. She's your age." Yelan ordered.
"Of course I'll help. I'll even go pick her up at the airport if you want." Syaoran said. He felt sorry for her. So many bad things happening to one girl.
"That would be very kind of you. Her flight comes in tomorrow at 12:35. Gate 15." Yelan said.
"I'll be there."
IN JAPAN
"Sakura are you ready. I'll truly miss you when your gone." Hikaru comforted her. Sakura just sat there.
"What time is my flight?" she asked softly.
"9:10" Hikaru said.
"Arigato for everything, Hikaru." Sakura said. She started crying. She hugged Hikaru who hugged her back.
"Don't worry about anything Sakura-chan. I'll visit you in Hong Kong the first chance I get." Hikaru said.
"You promise?" Sakura said holding out her pinky.
"I promise." She took hold of Sakura's pinky.
'How much can one girl go through?' Hikaru thought.
