Chapter Seven

The night was most unpleasant. While evryone else seemed to be sleeping, or whispering things to eachother, all she could do was sit there in the darkness that matched what was in her now. She held her legs closed to her body, her depressed and pale face staring out the barred window.

The window was like her, barred and secluded for the crime of another. She didn't care I sakura set this up or not, it was all over. No one was going to defend her, would they? ********************************************************

The next day didn't shine any light on this dark situation. She waited and waited all day for her family to come visit but not one of them did. Not even Moninoke bothered to come aparently.

"I'm all alone, no one cares what happens to me, so why should I? I'll just sit here and whither away"she thought.

That's exactly what she did. When lunch came she just ignored it. She even passed some to others who were asking for it. She was glad, she didn't want to eat, she wanted this all to end soon. The only time she had something even remotely close to a meal was perhaps a sip of water which came with the lunch when she was unbearably thirsty.

When Juvinile officers came by they said nothing, which was just fine with her as she buried her head in her knees.

Sometimes she would life her head up and read some of the grifiti written on the walls of this place. Nothing really funny, at least not to her. There was much foul launguage and diragatory remakrs as you would expect. *****************************************************

Sakura sucsessfuly stole some goodies to eat from a small grocerie store.

"Man I never though that would so easy"said Sakura as she bit out of a Rice Krispie treat bar.

"Yeah, I'm a lot better off without those losers, and with Kari finally out of the picture I can live a life that's worth living"said Sakura.

After she ate what little she stole she was about to walk off but was yanked back against the wall so hard she slid down it and fell unconcious. ****************************************************

Sakura woke up back in Moninoke's shed. She was sitting in a chair, Rope wrapped around her body, clining her hard to the chair. Her ankles were tied to the chair legs and Ducktape was placed on her mouth. She couldn't break free at all.

"Sleeping ugly finally awake"mocked Moninoke as she walked up to her.

Sakura could only make a low and muffled growl.

"If you scream, I'll slap the taste out of that mouth of yours, got it?"

Sakura just gave another growl as the tape was ripped off of her mouth.

"You set up Kari, didn't you?"asked Moninoke.

"So what? Now with her out of the way she can't go and ruin any of my plans. I'm through with you guys Moninoke, so just leave me alone"said Sakura.

"You're gonna be here for awhile kid, you won't be going anywhere until Kari's free"

"You expect me to try and free Kari? Tied up in a chair even"said sakura.

"No, we're just making sure you don't foul things up"said Moninoke.

She placed the strip of tape back on sakura's mouth. Sakura thrashed against her bonds but to no avail.

"If she thinks she can just leave me here she's dead wrong. I'll free myself and make her pay for this"thought Sakura. Sakura spent hours thrashing as she was leaft alone but couldn't budge the ropes even an inch. Eventualy Moninoke came back(it's still day time)

She simply ignored Sakura's existence as she walked to where she kept her weapon supplies. Lighters, Knives, the works. Jun was with Moninoke as well.

"Here, you take these, I got these. We'll go at one in the morning, security will be easy to get by then"said moninoke.

Jun nodded.

"Now, security should be easy to get by especialy since we got ourselves stocked on weapons. Your job is just to cover me, I'll worry about getting Kari out, is that understood?"asked Moninoke.

Jun nodded again.

Moninoke turned her head towaards Sakura and smacked her hard, causing Sakura to fall back, now she didn't have a single chance of escape. *********************************************************

Tai's petition sunk like the Titanic. Not one person would sign it, they all said no or a ruder form of it. After trying nearly all of the town, they met back up at the park.

"Man, there's nothing we can do"said Matt.

"Darn, it's just not fair, she didn't even do anything"said Tai with clenching fists.

"Life is never fair"said Matt.

"T.K was right, not one person would sign it except us few, but not nearly enough"said Tai.

"Hey, didn't you say Kari used to live somewhere else"asked T.K.

"Yeah, what does that have to do with anything"asked Tai impatiently.

"Maybe we can get them to sign it, I mean they should all like Kari enough"said T.K.

"Sure, but how are we gonna get there?"asked Tai.

"We can email the petition"said matt.

"Well, we don't have any better options, let's go for it"said Tai.

"You guys do that, I'll visist her, she must be lonely"said T.K.

"I'll get us started"said Tai.

"I'll take you there"said matt. *************************************************

"Kari, you have visitors"said a Juvinile officer.

Kari lifted her head up and saw T.k walk in, Matt just outside.

"Here to rub it in?"asked kari grumpily.

"No, i want to apologize Kari. I listened to the students instead of my heart, I was so ignorant, I'm so sorry for this Kari, can you forgive me?"

Kari tried to make sure she heared what she just heared.

"You mean it?"asked Kari.

"Yeah"said T.K.

"wow, this means we're friends"said kari.

"Yep, don't worry Kari we;ll get you out of here, we swear"said T.K.

"Get out, and don't give the kid any false hope"said the juvinile officer.

"But you said we had 10 minutes"said T.K.

"Tough, beat it"he said opening the door.

T.K did so.

"Bye Kari"said T.K.

Matt spit in the officer's face, and called him an unprintable name(involves a mom)

Kari's will seemed to be rising. The guard wiped the spit from his face.

"Don't count on leaving kid, I'll see to it you stay here, after all my Dad owns the place"

Kari's face filled with shock, her good will shattered.

"His father? It is over, if his father owns the place I'm stuck here for good"thought Kari.

"It makes me sick to see scum like you have friends"he said before walking off.

With all hope of escaping lost Kari buried her face in her knees and cried, not caring her faced felt like a wet sponge, or that she was probaly getting the bed wet.

No one seemed to really care about her crying, only thinking "What a crybaby" then going back to what they were doing.

Kari layed face first and sobbed into her pillow. A poem Kari heared once began repeating in her head like a broken record.

Weeps these tears, they mean nothing.

Muffled by the young birds chirping

Do what you can to beg for love

Only to get curses from below and above

Share your feelings, they mean nothing to nobody

Just remember that misery loves company

She never understood what that poem meant until now. It meant that no matter how much she was suffering, no matter how badly she felt, nobody around her would care, in fact some even enjoyed it. It mean she couldn't trust anybody, nobody loved her, nobody cared if she lived or died, just like the person who wrote the poem in english class for all to hear.

While nobody got what it meant, he did get an A. They didn't get it because they are unaware of just how cruel and harsh they really are despite they hate to see others get treated that way. Are people that ignorant?

But who cared about some english class poem, she was leaft here to rot until the day she died and would probaly go to Hell.

But after what she's been through, would Hell really be that bad?

As usual she didn't eat, but now she didn't even drink. *****************************************************

T.K's plan seemed to be working. Everyone in Kari's old town were furious to say the least and all signed it. They all knew Kari, not these losers who dared to call themselves civilized people.

"Just relax Kari, we're getting you out"thought Tai.

Unknown to Tai, someone allready planned to get Kari out, in a much more rebellious fashion.
