~*~*When A Cherry Blossom Is Reported Missing*~*~

Chapter 2 Handwriting

"Do you have any proof that the adoption was legal?" asked Syaoran, still shocked that Mrs. Kinomoto would do something like that.

"Yeah, all the contracts of every child adopted are kept in file cabinets. They're in my basement. And Li if you're going to go into my basement here's a hint. The contracts are in abc order by their last names."

"Thanks Chang" replied Syaoran emotionlessly.

"No prob. Mr.Li" he said just as emotionlessly.

Syaoran rushed out of the building grabbing Takashi on his way out. "Hey Syaoran. Owwww!!! Where are we going?" he asked as Syaoran dragged him out the building. Syaoran chose not to answer. But, Takashi was all too used to this and just ignored his bad temper. "Hey Syaoran!!! I checked all the other adoptions like you asked." This caught Syaoran's attention. "Guess what! They're all legal. Isn't that surprising? I even visited each family and asked the parent if they agreed to the adoption. Pretty good, huh?"

Syaoran was not happy with the answer. It meant that Chang was most likely not guilty. It also meant that the murderer/kidnapper was still out there and wasn't paying the consequences. He felt his blood start to boil. Takashi snapped him out of his reverie "Where are we going again?"

"We are looking for the contract that Mrs. Kinomoto signed allowing Chang to put the child up for adoption.

"But, I thought that Nadeshiko's daughter was kidnapped. How could she have been put up for adoption? And why would Nadeshiko and Fujitaka put their child up for adoption? Fujitaka was very unhappy with his daughter's kidnapping. I didn't know they had ever even considered putting the poor child up for adoption.

"Those were exactly my thoughts."

At Chang's home: In the Basement

Takashi and Syaoran were currently looking through about ten file cabinets. Syaoran then remembered something. "Oh, Takashi I just remembered. He said they were in abc order by last name.

"Couldn't you remember that 20 minutes ago, when we first started looking," he heard Takashi mumble underneath his breath. Syaoran looked towards Takashi and gave him an innocent look.

After about ten more minutes of searching they found the folder. The folder contained the contract that Nadeshiko signed and the contract that the family, which adopted Sakura, signed. It also had information on the child: How she was found, when she was found, what color eyes, what color hair, her date of birth ( ^_^ You get the gist of it right? So I won't go on ^_^ ) and more. Syaoran grabbed the folder and looked at the contract. Sure enough, like Chang said, it was signed by Mrs. Nadeshiko Kinomoto.

Syaoran let out a sigh containing his disappointment. He grabbed the folder and once again started dragging Takashi towards the car. He heard Takashi groan, "Where are we going this time?"

Syaoran let out another sigh. "We're going to pay Mr. Kinomoto a visit."

~*At the Kinomoto's House*~

"Knock, knock" Fujitaka Kinomoto answered the door.

"Li-kun it's nice to see you again. Do you have any results for the case?" he said.

"I thought you gave up. You used to send flowers to the office every April 1, her birthday. But, you stopped about two years ago." Syaoran replied.

"Oh no, Touya and I didn't give up. In fact," he gestures them in and they follow him up a flight of stairs into a pink and white room with a border of cherry blossoms "we still buy her presents every year." Yamazaki and Syaoran looked around. It was true, the room was filled with toys, and everything a child would have. Bicycles, stuffed animals, jewelry, and more.

"Mr. Kinomoto, why didn't you tell us that you and your wife gave up Sakura for adoption?" Syaoran asked.

"We never even thought of adoption" Fujitaka replied.

"We found a contract giving up your daughter signed by your wife." Syaoran took out the contract and showed it to Fujitaka. "Here"

"That's not my wife's signature. If you would like her signature, I think I still have her passport." Fujitaka left the room and came back with the passport 10 minutes later.

They looked at the signature on the contract then that on the passport. The signatures didn't even look close. The one on the contract was neat and eligible, whereas Nadeshiko's look natural

"Thank you very much Fujitaka," Syaoran said. "I'll do my best to bring her in your custody.

They looked at the address on the contract. "Let's get going Takashi!"

~*~*3hours later after a flight to Tomoeda, Japan (Fujitaka lives in Hong Kong and I don't know how long a flight is from there to Japan. So let me slid on that one. ^_^)*~*~

"Knock, Knock, Knock" Syaoran lightly tapped on the door. It was approximately eight o' clock now and they didn't want to disturb the small peaceful neighborhood. A beautiful woman about the age of forty opened the door. "Can I help you sirs?" she asked.

"Yeah, Honk Kong police department. I need to talk to you about your adopted daughter.

"Oh, Come in." she said a little hesitantly.

She had them sit in the living room, which was filled of pictures with two girls. "Which one is adopted?" asked Yamazaki.

"Both," she said absently. My husband and I cannot have children. (The family who adopted Sakura were the Avalons. So don't get confused if I use people's American names ^_^)

"It's something about Sakura. Sakura was kidnapped and her mother was killed. The person who kidnapped her, illegally gave her to the adoption center. Sakura's real family, her brother and father, never really gave up hope that she was still living. Where is your daughter?"

"They're both in the Americas. My other is visiting her sister, Sakura who now lives there. Here's an address. I'll let her know your coming ahead of time."

"Thank you very much Mrs. Avalon."

"It wasn't a problem. I am sure her father and brother would want to know that she's still alive after all these years."

~*~*In the Car*~*~

"I wonder why she didn't ask if she was still going to have custody of the child" said Syaoran to himself.

~*~*At the Station*~*~

"Takashi, I want you to get everyone linked in anyway to the Kinomotos her by 7. It's 4 now you have 3 hours," Li said.

"Sure, anything you say Li-kun," Yamazaki replied.

Syaoran then began to get the police station ready for the large amount of people coming within 3 hours. "Rose clear out the hall and bring desks and table in. I want this questionnaire and pens on a desk by the door."

Within the next 3 hours, everyone who knew the Kinomotos had come and filled out the questionnaire about themselves and the victims. Syaoran had clearly stated to each and every person that he wanted the questionnaire filled out in script only and then wanted the signature on the bottom.

~*~*7:30*~*~

Syaoran interviewed all of Nadeshiko's close friends and family. ^_^ Sorry, but I'm really tired and don't feel like writing the interviews (2 many friends lolz) ^_^ He now had them all gathered in one room.

"You're probably wondering why we had you fill out so much information and interviewed you on a closed case. Well, I'm sure you'd all be happy to know that we have reopened the case, from certain leads found. The questionnaire you filled out was a handwriting test. We found a document, which we assumed the kidnapper signed. We now know where the child is and I will try to speak to her personally."

Fujitaka's smile was unlimited and stretched from ear to ear. Tears of happiness and joy were cascading down both his and Touya's face.

Everyone was happy. Yelen was hugging everyone in the room. Nadeshiko had been her best friend. In school the group they had hung out in was called the quadruplets. It had been her, Nadeshiko, Sonomi, and Mitsumi. They were so close that they could tell what the other was about to say. When one would start talking the other three would finish the sentence. They had gone to a reunion (Well, not Nadeshiko she was dead) and Yelen, Sonomi and Mitsumi had met up again. But, Mitsumi had grown distant and cold and had been ignoring them. They didn't know who she was anymore. The only person who was not smiling at the police station was Mitsumi, but know one suspected something because Mitsumi never smiled anyway, well, not anymore at least.

~*~*10:00 at Syaoran's house*~*~

Syaoran was sitting at his desk doing some paper work. His eyes were red and he his face, drooping. He tiredly got up and went to wash his hands leaving his gun on the table. He heard a big crash from the room where he had previously been. He ran out to the living room. There, in his living room was a.



Did you like it?



























I'm joking. I'll continue.

His living room was empty, but the window was crashed through and the shattered glass was all over the floor. He looked around and quietly listed for any movements. He didn't hear anything. He slowly turned in a circle and seeing no one around him he slowly looked back into the living room. His gun was still on his desk. He was debating the idea of running for it in his head. He knew there were creaks in his floor. He decided to make a run for it.

He ran to the desk and picked up the gun. He felt a gun point on his head. "Put the gun down" A muffled voice ordered.

"Alright" Syaoran replied as he slowly put down his pistol. "What do you want.?"

"I want you to drop the case." With that the gunwomen backed away. "If you turn around I'll shoot." Syaoran heard the person backup, turn and run away. He quickly turned getting a glimpse of the person. He/She was about 5". He/She was dressed in all black and through the hood he caught a glimpse of some brownish black hair peaking out of the black hood. With that the person disappeared out of his sight.
