Note: I said that I would update more. I meant what I said and I said what
I meant.....you know the rest. Chapter 4
Getting To Know Each Other.
Sakura woke up rather early the next day. She put on her old pants and Kelly's shirt. She then went downstairs to find Kelly sitting on the couch....she was holding something. Sakura went in for a closer look. She saw that is was a necklace that Kelly had lent to her for her dance that one night. Sakura heard Kelly talking to herself. She was saying things like, "Why did you do that? You really didn't have to." Sakura saw a tear fall down her cheek. Then she said something else, "Why am I all of a sudden thinking of you again. I haven't thought about that day for almost a year now. But our new guest just reminds me of you. I hope you're listening."
*I am listening, and I'm so sorry.* Sakura thought as she took a step back and decided to go back upstairs. She started up the stairs, but Kelly heard her.
"Who's there?" she asked as she looked up.
"It's just me," Sakura said, "I didn't mean to disturb you, so I'm just going to go back upstairs."
"Nonsense," Kelly said, "Please join me."
Sakura put a small smile on her face and joined Kelly on the couch. Sakura looked at Kelly and then asked, "What's that?"
"It's my favorite necklace," Kelly answered.
"What makes it so special?" Sakura asked.
"I just like it is all," Kelly answered, "Are you hungry?"
"Not really," Sakura answered.
"To bad," Kelly said, "Because it's breakfast time." Kelly put the necklace on the coffee table and got up and went into the kitchen, but Sakura stayed on the couch looking at the necklace. It was a cheap silver necklace with a heart with wings. It looked okay, but it was no prize possession. Sakura had guessed it was because that she had worn it last was what made it so special.
Sakura looked up as she heard someone coming down the stairs. It was Kurama. "Good morning," he said.
"Morning," Sakura said back, "Have a nice sleep?"
"Fine," Kurama said, "and you?"
"Fine," Sakura answered, "Kelly's in the kitchen making breakfast, I guess."
"I figured," Kurama said, "Ever since she learned how to cook she won't let anyone else do it."
Sakura smiled and thought, *I still wonder when she learned how to cook.*
"Breakfast is almost ready," Kelly yelled from the kitchen, "Please come in here."
Kurama went into the kitchen and Sakura got up from the couch and followed him. Kelly was still doing some cooking, but there was some food on the kitchen table.
"Sit down," Kelly said to both of them. They did so and Kelly served them her delicious breakfast. Afterwards they went back into the living room and talked for quite sometime. Awile after Kelci came running down the stairs.
Kelly got up and went to her daughter and said, "You sound like a monster pounding down the stairs like that." She picked her up a carried her over to the couch and sat down with her on her lap.
"I do it just to bother you," Kelci said as she hugged Kelly around the neck. Kelly hugged her back and then kissed her on the top of the head. "I'm hungry."
"What do you want?" Kelly asked as she got up.
"I want pancakes and waffles and fruit," Kelci said.
"You can have either pankcakes OR waffles," Kelly said, "and you can pick one fruit."
"Blueberries and waffles!" Kelci screamed as they went into the kitchen together.
Kurama turned his attention to Sakura and asked, "So do you know where you're going?"
"Um...well....no," Sakura said, "I just had to get away."
"Away from what?" Kurama asked.
"Life," Sakura answered, "For a few years now my life as been nothing but hurt and betrayal and I can't stand it anymore, so I just left from where I was."
"Was where you were your home?" Kurama asked.
"No," Sakura said as she shook her head, "I don't really have a home. I just stay wherever I can."
"I have an idea," Kurama said, "Why don't you and Kelly go to the mall and for one buy you a new outfit and you two should get to know each other a little better."
"Great idea," Kelly said as she walked back into the room, "I'd love to help you get some new clothes and talk."
"Okay," Sakura said, "When do you want to do this?"
"How about this afternoon," Kelly said, "We can go out for lunch as well."
"Fine by me," Sakura said.
Around 11am Kelly and Sakura left the house and headed for the city. They went to the mall first and looked for clothes.
Sakura didn't really care for shopping, especially for clothes, but she was spending time with Kelly and she actually had fun. Kelly would pick out clothes and then make her try them on. Sometimes they were okay clothes and sometimes they made her look ridiculous. They finally found exactly what they were looking for. It was long black pants with a white shirt that buttoned up. The back of the shirt went down to her knees and the front showed her belly button.
"That looks great," Kelly said, "Now lets go get something to eat."
They went to the food court and ordered some food and sat down. Sakura had changed into her new clothes right after she bought them.
"Now don't get anything on that," Kelly joked.
"Don't worry I won't," Sakura said.
"So tell me about yourself," Kelly said, "Where are you headed to?"
"Well I'm going to go see a old friend," Sakura said.
"Where at?" Kelly asked.
"I don't know where she is," Sakura said, "I visited her once but I never knew where we were so I'm just looking for a familiar place."
"Thats to bad," Kelly said, "Maybe I can help. Describe it to me."
Sakura told her about the building that she slept on and about the huge tower and the woods.
"I know where that is," Kelly said, "I use to live there, and you're in luck. My family is going there in a week to visit my old friends. Maybe you could stay with me until then and you can travel with us."
"Great," Sakura said monotonously.
"Good," Kelly said, "Now let's finish up and do some more shopping or something."
"Okay," Sakura said.
They went shopping for more things. Like clothes and assessories. They got home around seven. They walked in the door laughing at a lame joke that one of them had said.
"Have a good time?" Kurama said as he saw them.
"Yep," Kelly said, "Just one more thing. Come on Sakuya follow me."
Sakura did so and Kelly led her into a different room. She took out a pair of scissors and told Sakura to turn around. Kelly cut the back of her shirt in half, all the way up the her lower back and she noticed something. She lifted up the shirt a bit and saw a tattoo. It was a black dragon curled up in a circle, "What's this?"
"What's what?" Sakura asked.
"This tattoo?" Kelly asked.
Sakura had forgotten about that. She had gotten it done about three years ago, "Well it's a dragon of course."
"Well yeah I guess it is," Kelly said as she gave out a little laugh, "Well now you get to show it off."
"Cool," Sakura said, "Now why don't you start up dinner."
"Okay," Kelly said, "Would you get Kelci for me. She's probably in her room."
"Sure thing," Sakura said.
Kelly went downstairs and Sakura went towards Kelci's room. She knocked on the dorr, but nobody answered. So she knocked again........nothing. She opened the door and said softly, "Kelci are you in here." The light was off so she turned it on. Kelci wasn't in there, but Sakura noticed a piece of paper on her bed. She went over to it and picked it up. It was a note. Sakura read it and her eyes grew wide.
She ran out of the room and rushed down stairs. She sounded like Kelci as she pounded down them. She ran into the kitchen and shouted, "Kelly ...she's....she's...."
"She's what?" Kelly asked.
"She's gone!" Sakura yelled, "and I know who took her!"
