Chapter Eight
How lucky can you get? Sakura was finally able to get the knife from her pocket. At first the rope was too tight but now it loosened enough for her to get it. She cut the rope and ripped the tape off.
"Moninoke was too confident in her knots. She can go ahead and free Kari, because Kari will get caught and make things even worse for her"
Sakura went into their supply box and took out a lighter.
"I could use a little campfire"she thought to herself.
She walked a little outwards so the flame wouldn't get her. She lit it and tossed it in, and thus the burning began.
"Consider it as a present Moninoke"she thought as she walked off to parts unknown. *********************************************************
Sleeping wasn't a problem for Kari, she could never sleep in this enviroment. This wasn't the kind of place you could adapt to. She layed alone and sacred.
"What's the point in going on? To suffer? I gotta find a way to put an end to my miserable and pointless existence"thought Kari.
She scampered around the room for something sharp to cut through her wrists.
"Even Sezaka wants me dead I'll bet"thought Kari.
"Yo, Kari!"
Kari jumped and gasped, rushing into the bed.
"Kari, over here"said the voice from the window.
Kari poked her head up to find Moninoke haning from the window. She walked up to it.
"Moninoke"whispered Kari.
"Hey kid, c'mon let's get'chya outta here"
"I can't just leave"
"Sure ya can kid, Jun has us covered. "C'mon, I can cut these bars off"said Moninoke.
"I appreciate this Moninoke, but I can't"said Kari walking away, hand clutching her chest in shame.
"What are you talking about Kari, lets move now, we have all kinds of places we can hide out at, the cops will never find ya"
"I appreciate this Moninoke, I really do. But life's not worth living if I have to spend it running away. I'll get caught eventualy then I'll be in bigger trouble"
"Don't be foolish Kari, we're the only ones on your side now, if you stay here you'll never get out. Do you really think you'll win in trial?"asked Moninoke.
The trial never crossed kari's mind since she heared of it. It was tomorrow but she had no hope as all the odds were against her, nothing or no one was in her favor, or so she thought.
"No, but I don' wanna get in worse trouble. Thanks, but I'm staying"said Kari.
"Fine you idiot, stay here! Rot in prision, I'm really dissapointed in you Kari! I saw potential in you! But go ahead, just die in here!"said Moninoke and with that she climbed down on her rope.
Kari sat in her bed, she wanted so badly, god awful badly to run away from this place but she knew suffering would await her anyway.
It was too dark, Kari figured, to find anything now so she would wait after losing in trial. *****************************************************
Kari couldn't feel more uncomfortable as she walked into the courtroom. All the eyes giving her death glares. The only positive point was that they didn't have her handcuffed like she thought would happen.
"Just let this end soon"thought Kari.
Kari couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Tai, Matt and T.K there with the lawyer.
"Tai!"said Kari who ran up and hugged him.
"I thought you hated me!"
"Never Kari, I know you're innocent, and we're gonna prove it!
"Where did ya get the lawyer/"
"Sezaka's dad"
"You mean Sazaka knows I'm innocent?"
"Yeah, everyone in our old town does, and we even got a petition"said Tai.
After the jury all got settled in the court began.(okay, I've only seen a few court shows so I might not be comepletely acurate)
"Allright, now as everyone in here knows, Miss Kamiya here has been charged with first degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon. What evidence has been found, which is little, points against Kari. Mr Mokana(Kari's lawyer) is there anyone you wish to call to the stand"
"Yes, I would like to call miss Sakura to the stand"
No one came.
"Sakura, where are you? Sakura"yelled the judge.
Nothing.
"Officer, Sakura was supposed to be here, where is she?"
"We found no sign of her sir"
"Great, first that fire lat night, now this"
"Fire?"asked Kari.
"Yeah, at some shed in the woods"
"That's where Sakura hanged out"
The Judge and Mr. Mokana looked at her.
"You've been asociated with her?"
It was now or never she thought.
"Please come here Miss Kamiya"
Kari walked up.
"What do you know about Sakura?"
"People, what you're about to here may seem unbelievable, but I swear on my Grandmother's soul it's true"
"So do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth so help you God"
"Yes your honor"
"Then go on"
"Well everything started about almost a week or so ago. I was and still am new at school, I didn't have any friends. When I was walking through the parking lot these 3 girls came up to me. They forced me to join their gang and do what they wanted. I was so scared I did so, they said they would kill me if I snitched. They had me do all kinds of horrible things like lure a girl named Yolie into that shed while they mugged her. I knew it was wrong but I was so scared I didn't know what to do. Twice I was attacked by Sakura who wants me dead and is detirmined to make life here worse then it is. In fact I have reason to believe she set me up"
"Why would it be then that everyone seems to think you're guilty then? Is there something you're hiding?"
"You see the only one the girl named Yolie saw was me so she thought I did that all to her. Plus I was pretty unpopular to begin with, but when Yolie told how I mugged her, and even lied about me threatenened to kill her if she told anyone"
"Your honor, her story checks in with the facts. It's very possible the person was murdered just to frame her. All the evidence just shows she was there, not that she didn't"
The Judge sighed. Kari felt excitement. Could this really work?
"Until evidence is found that proves Kari guilty, I hereby declare her innocent. If evidence is found showing she DID murder the man, she will be sent back to the juvinile patrentary. Court dismissed"
"YEAH!"cheered Kari and gang in usion. "Thank you sir"said Matt.
"No problem kid, my daughter wouldn't forgive me if I didn't"he said before leaving.
"C'mon Kari, let's go home" *****************************************************
"C'mon Jun, without the shed we're done here. We'll find somewhere else to live"said Moninoke.
Jun nodded and followed Moninoke to wherever they were meant to be. *****************************************************
It only took about an hour to find Sakura. How so quickly? Whiel shoplifting a grocery store a security guard caught her. Plain and simple. Now she layed in there, revenge on her mind.
"AGAIN! AGAIN Kari escapes me! How does she do it! I swear Kari this isn't over by a longshot"thought Moninoke.
The End ***************************************************
Well that's the end of Part one of "Kari's way" Some parts will be long, some short. ALL will be at least this long. I'll get the next part out as soon as possible. Thanks for reading, and enjoy the upcoming installments! By the way, the next installment will be intilted:
