Chapter 3: Saying Good-bye and Hello to a New life

* thinking

    " talking

    *~*~* change of scene or day

Sakura, her Aunt, and Serena just got home from a major shopping spree around 9:30, and were exhausted. Sakura started heading up the stairs very quickly so no one could see that she was crying. "Sakura darling, don't forget you have to get up early tomorrow." Ka said as Sakura ran up the stairs.

"Yes Auntie I wont forget." she replied. * How could I forget* Sakura thought to herself. * I mean tomorrow is ONLY my parents funeral.* at the thought of this Sakura cried even harder. She finally made her way to her room and slammed her door and fell on her bed.

Later Ka came in to check on Sakura and found her asleep.  She slowly covered up Sakura and went to the corner of her room to look at something. Once she was satisfied she left, and closed back Sakura's door.

*~*~*~*~* Later on that night*~*~*~*~*

Sakura slowly woke up and looked at her clock. It read 5:30 in big red letters. "Well, it looks like I won't be able to get back to sleep, might as well get an early start." Sakura said out loud to no one in particular. Little did Sakura know there was someone watching her. Sakura pulled herself out of bed and walked into her bathroom and started her shower. An hour later came out a refreshed Sakura yet sad. She knew this was going to be ONE long day. Sakura made her way to her walk in closet to find something to wear, and pulled out all black. She had a pair of black pants that had cherry blossoms on them and o matching long-sleeved top.

It was her favorite outfit, and now it had even more meaning to it. Her parents had given her this outfit for Christmas. It was the last Christmas they would ever spend together and thinking that brought on a fresh wave of tears from Sakura. Sakura changed and cried her hair and did her make-up. It was now 7:30 and she had nothing to do. Sakura hung up the clothes that she had bought the day before and made her way downstairs.

*~*~* In the dining room*~*~*

"So James, what did my little niece do last night and this morning? Anything I really need to know about?" Ka was talking on the phone that was in the dining room.

On the other end, "No ma'am, she slept and then woke up about 5:30 and took a shower, got dressed, got ready, and is on her way downstairs." James said.

"Very well, here she comes. I thank you and I would like an update every time she goes to her room. Good bye." Ka replied.

"Yes ma'am. Good bye."

"Ah Sakura darling you are awake!!" Ka said to Sakura as she walked over and hugged the teen. "My isn't that a beautiful outfit! It fits you perfectly, well come sit down and have breakfast with me. I'm not sure when Serena will be here." Ka said calmly.

"Oh why thank you Aunt Ka actually my mother and father gave it to me last Christmas." Sakura replied taking a seat at the table. The two ate in silence and were later joined by Serena.

"Well, I think it is time to go. Sakura if it's alright with you I would like you to ride in a limo with Serena. I just don't want you to drive there because I don't want you to get lost." Ka said getting up.  Like Sakura Ka and Serena were also dressed in black. Ka had a pair of solid black pants and top with a hat on. Serena had an ankle length black skirt with a three quarter length black shirt on.

"Yes Aunt Ka that is fine with me. So are we ready to go?" Sakura asked. *I am ready to get this over with. I don't know how long I will be able to hold in the tears* Sakura thought to herself.

"Yes, I think we are. David should be out there waiting for you. He knows where to go and I will see you there." Ka said and gave Sakura a kiss on the cheek. Sakura did as she was told and followed Serena to the limo and got in.

*~*~* Somewhere else in Japan*~*~

"Mou Syaoran we are goin' to be late if you don't hurry up!!" Mei Lin yelled.

"Mei Lin would you calm down! Just get in the car and we will be there in a matter of five minutes!" Syaoran yelled as he ran down the front steps while closing the door behind him. He got in the driver seat of his Navigator and drove off.

About 15 minutes later they were at a memorial park. (I can't remember what the place that you hold memorial services are called! If you know PLEASE tell me!!)

"YOU ALMOST KILLED US!! ARE YOU CRAZY!!" Mei Lin yelled as she got out of the car and made her way to the entrance with Syaoran following after her.

*~*~* Inside*~*~*

Inside stood many different pictures of Ben and Natalie Kinomoto. (I sorry about the names!! I couldn't remember them and I am too lazy to look them up! I promise if you tell me who they are I will fix it!!)  There were many people inside that Sakura had never seen before, but greeted them just the same.  There were a lot of 'I am sorry for you loss' 'Be strong and hang in there' and 'you parent's were great people.' Every once in awhile someone would say 'I hope you would be as good of a leader as your parents were.'

Sakura had no clue what they were talking about but said thank you anyways. Then when Sakura was turning around to get something to drink she crashed into someone. "Hoe!" Sakura said. Sakura was waiting to feel the impact of the ground but it never came and she opened her eyes. Emerald met Amber for a second then Sakura stood up. "Oh I am soo sorry I wasn't watching where I was going." Sakura said quickly while trying to get her had out of his grasp.

"Oh no I am quite fine. By the way my name is Syaoran Li." Syaoran said and let go of Sakura's hand.

"Nice to meet you Li. I am Sakura Kinomoto."  She offered her hand and they shook.

"Well, it was nice to meet you. I am very sorry about your parents. I will be seeing you soon I am sure. Bye." With that Syaoran walked away.

*Weird what did he mean by that? Who cares boy was he cute. When I talk to Chiharu tonight I'm going to be like Darien who?* Before Sakura could finish her thoughts the memorial service started.

"Ladies and gentlemen I am sorry that we all had to be brought together because of this tragedy. I am ashamed that we have lost such two wonderful leaders.  Ben and Natalie were the best of the best. I am sure that we all hope that their daughter will be just as good.  Sakura please come up here." The man said and Sakura made her way up to the microphone. One her way there she heard a lot of whispers but ignored them.

"Thank you. I would like to thank you all for coming. I loved my parents very very much and I still can't believe that they are gone." At that point Sakura broke down. "I am sorry." Sakura went into Serena's open arms and cried while a lady in her early 40's came to the mic and spoke a few words. After that everyone parted there separate ways to say their final god bye's and left.

About three hours later Sakura was in the limo with Serena asleep. Her dream was filled with pictures of Li Syaoran. The limo made its way back to the mansion, and tomorrow would be a new day for Sakura.

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

Little does Sakura know her new life will start tomorrow and it will be a HUGE shock to her when she learns about who she really is. And who is this Syaoran guy that Sakura met? What was Ka looking at in Sakura's room?  All these questions will be answered in the next few chapters! Please review!!! Like I said earlier I am SOOO sorry for the wait!!
