Sakura sat on her bunk, staring at the wall beyond her bed. Her memory fled back to the mall earlier that day.
Flashback
"I'm Detective Yukito Tsukishiro. This is my partner Touya Kinomoto." Sakura looked at the man who shared her last name.
"Kinomoto?" she whispered.
"SAKURA!!"
End Flashback
'Kinomoto?' she thought again. "How is that possible?" she asked out loud.
"How is what possible?"
Sakura turned around and looked to the other bed in the room. "Oh, Chiharu. I didn't know you were here."
"I've been here for a while." Chiharu replied. "Surprised you didn't notice. But really, what's not possible?"
Sakura got up and sat next to her friend. "When we were at the mall today, I met a detective who shared my sir name. He told me he had to talk to me tonight. I just can't figure out who he is."
"That is weird. A cousin maybe?"
"Yeah, but then he'd have to be on my dad's side, and he had no siblings."
"Was he married before your mom?"
"Not that I know of..Just my mom and April."
"Hmm..I don't know..When are you meeting him?"
"6. At the diner on the corner."
"Are you going alone?"
"Yeah, its my past. Maybe he can answer some questions I've had for a long time."
"Well, it's nearly 5:30. You should get ready."
"Yeah." Sakura got up and got some clothes to change into from her closet. "Chiharu?" her friend looked up from her magazine. "Thanks."
"Hey, just don't forget to tell how it comes out." Chiharu giggled, and went back to her article. Sakura headed into the bathroom.
-6 O'clock-Diner-
Sakura looked around and saw the young man with dark brown hair who shared her name. Touya? Was that his name. He waved to her, and she took the seat across from him at the table.
"Hi." She said.
"Hi." he replied. "Maybe I should start by introducing myself. I'm Touya Kinomoto."
"Sakura..Kinomoto." She looked up to him. "How is that?"
"Well.." Touya began.
"What can I get for you?" the waitress asked. Sakura and Touya ordered and Touya began again.
"It's a kind of long story." Touya began. He took a napkin in his hand and began to tear it into pieces. "You and I, have the same father, Fujitaka Kinomoto. I know it's a bit hard to believe. You're what..19 now?" Sakura nodded. "I'm 26 now. There's more behind what you know of our father and April. Back before our mother died, when you were just a baby, she was a model. Famous. Her face was on posters on every street corner, in every building, on taxi cabs and buses. Everything was perfect. She was young, famous, in love, and was starting a family. However, not everyone was happy about it. In fact, some people were very bitter about it.
Have you ever heard of Butch Green's gang?" Sakura nodded her head 'no'. "Well, not only are they the gang that killed our step-mother, but they killed our mother too."
"Why? What business did she have with them? How could she be involved with them? It doesn't make sense!" sakura started spieling off.
"Whoa whoa, slow down. First off, the business she had with them was none. One day, while at a sheik party at the plaza, they came onto her. But she refused. So, about a week later, when she was coming home from a shoot. Well, she was shot." Touya looked down to the shreds of napkin on the table.
Sakura felt confused. "But, you? Why were we split up?"
"After our mother was gone, well, dad couldn't care for us both. So I lived with our grandparents. Don't think that I've missed your life or dad's though. I was there when he married April, I was there at her funeral. I've written nearly every week, and called occasionally."
"How come I never knew? Why would you hide this from me?"
"Sakura. I'm a detective now. I share our mother's last name, and my top case it Green. You're in danger. You know that they follow you. But, not only because of April. That sadly made them more bitter."
"What can I do? How do I stay safe?"
"Hayden's coming back. He's going to come live in my apartment with me."
"Hayden? Really?"
Touya nodded. The waitress brought them their food, and they ate and chatted small talk for the rest of the evening.
