***
Sakura walked outside with Tomoyo and Syaoran to lunch.
"So you got a detention after school with her?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yeah," Sakura replied. "I have to clean the cafeteria."
"Well that's great!" Tomoyo said. Sakura and Syaoran looked at her like she was crazy.
"Do you mind telling us why detention is so great Tomoyo?" Syaoran asked.
"Because she has to clean the cafeteria and do you see where everyone eats lunch?" Tomoyo said. They looked around to everyone outside eating their lunch. Sakura smiled.
"So that's practically cleaning nothing!" she said happily.
"Yup."
They went under one of the Cherry Blossom trees and sat down.
"Hey guys!" Chiharu said walking up with Takashi. "Sakura I heard what you did to Akimoto!"
"Me too. I'm so proud. My little Sakura is all grown up and kicking butt too,"Takashi joked.
"Hey everyone!" Naoko, Rika, and Meiling said waking up. They sat down too.
"I heard what you did to Naru," Naoko said. "I didn't know it was in you."
"Me either," Rika said.
"It's just a shame that you didn't kill her off though," Meiling said.
"Meiling!" Sakura gasped. "How can you say such a thing?"
"It's true. The world is better off without girls like her. She's a bitch to everyone. She also goes whoring around trying to get down a guys pants, right Syaoran?" she said with a wink at him. He ignored her comment. "All she does is cry until she gets what she wants and go out with every cute guy she sees."
"She didn't try to go out with me," Takashi said hurt.
"Like she said, 'every CUTE guy,'" Tomoyo giggled.
"You would have said 'no' anyway so what's the problem?" Naoko asked.
"Yeah she did," Chiharu said. "As soon as we started going out, I heard her in the locker room saying that she was going to go out with you after she got you to dump me." Everyone stared at her shocked. "I told her that if she went anywhere near you I'd kick her face in, and that was the last I heard of it."
"Go Chiharu!" Tomoyo cheered.
"So that's why she never bother's you," Rika said.
"Yup."
"Anyway let's get together this weekend!" Tomoyo said. "We can all catch up together!"
"That's a great idea Tomoyo!" Sakura said.
"Yeah!" everyone said.
"Alright then! Everyone meet at my house Saturday at noon ok?" Tomoyo asked.
"Okay," everyone said. Then the bell rang. Everyone went of to class as Sakura and Syaoran went off to theirs.
"So you've known them for how long?" Syaoran asked.
"For my whole life," Sakura replied. "I missed them so much when I was taken to the orphanage. I was scared and alone too..."
"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to," Syaoran said as they entered the classroom.
"Thanks." They sat down in their seats and started talking when Naru walked in with a group of friends telling them about what happened.
"–and can you believe that? Like Syaoran would let Kinomoto inside his house!"
"I would let her inside my house, which is more than I can say for you, Akamatsu," Syaoran stated coldly. "So stop talking about Sakura."
"Syaoran–"
"I told you to call me Li–"
She ignored him. "–how can you say that you'd let Kinomoto inside your house? You're a man of quality."
"Which is exactly why he stays away from you," Sakura replied. "And don't bother with a comeback, because I know that you'll say either, shut up bitch, shut up whore, I wasn't talking to you, slut, or something else like it." Naru's face twisted in anger, however she didn't say anything. She and sat down in her seat, her friends following. They gossiped quietly around her until the teacher came in.
"That shut her up fast," Syaoran commented.
"I know. Isn't it great?" she giggled.
"All right class, take out last night's homework," the teacher said as he walked in.
***
"Uhh," Naru said in disgust as she walked in the cafeteria. "I have to touch other people's trash because of you, Kinomoto."
"Stop your whining," Sakura said. "It's not like anyone eats in the cafeteria anyway, so it's not much to clean."
"How would you know? This is only your second day here," she shot back. They walked into the cafeteria which was empty and just about spotless except for a tray sitting on the table. Sakura went over to throw it in the trash can when the principle walked in.
"Good you're here, and it seems that you got off lucky with only a tray to throw away it seems," he said and walked up to Naru. "Well since you were to clean the cafeteria, and it's clean, you may go."
"Thanks Dr. Maehara!" Sakura said and put her skates on.
"Well I'm out of here," Naru said and walked out.
***
"Sakura! Your late," her boss, Mr. Urashima yelled.
"What?" Sakura screamed and looked down at her watch. "My watch says I'm early!"
"Well your watch is wrong," he replied. "Go back and get your delivery. It's to the museum again. And don't be late!"
"Yes sir!" she said and went into the kitchen. "Hey Syaoran. Bye Syaoran," she said and picked up her delivery and left.
***
"Delivery to a Mr. Akamatsu ma'am," Sakura said to the secretary. She pointed to the office he was in and Sakura knocked.
"Ah, Sakura," he said and looked up from his work. "It seems your delivering for me again."
"Looks like it," Sakura said with a smile.
//He's not so bad. He's actually kind of nice, in a creepy way.//
"Well thank you and here's a tip," he said and handed her a five.
"Thank you sir!" Sakura said and left. As soon as she was gone he picked up the phone.
***
It was 7:30 when Sakura got home. She was tired from all of the roller bladeing she had done all over Tomoeda. She slowly made her way to the dinner table and grabbed some of the chicken. After eating her full she went and got her stuff ready for a shower. After that was over she got in her pajama's and got in bed. At 8:30 the twins, Su and Si burst into the room and jumped on Sakura's bed. She bolted up surprised.
"Sakura, Sakura! You said you'd read us a story tonight!" Su said.
"Yeah and we even picked one out!" Si said handing her a book. Sakura moved over on the bed and let them sit with her.
"Once upon a time," she began. "There was a princess who lived in a castle far away..."
By the end of the story the two twins had fallen peacefully asleep. Sakura smiled at them. She reached over Su to put the book down and then reached over Si to turn the light off. After settling down she tried to get some sleep herself, but she couldn't because the twins were taking up to much room. She finally decided to get up and she went over to one of their beds. She collapsed on it and fell asleep instantly.
***
A figure opened the window and crawled in to Sakura, Simon, and Susan's room. The person checked to make sure that the three occupants were sleeping and went over to Sakura's bed. The form took out a gun and twisted a silencer on it. Aiming the gun at the bed and shooting at it four times, the figure slowly crept back out of the room and shut the window. Nobody heard a sound.
***
"Sakura today your getting up on time!" Bachan yelled. "It's 5:50 in the morning and it's time for yo to get ready for school! And get the twins up too! They're usually running around down here by now! Your bad habit's are contagious!"
Ten minutes later, noone was down stairs and Bachan went up annoyed. "Sakura!" she said and threw off her covers. What she saw made her scream. Sakura jumped up from her sleep and looked over at Bachan screaming over her bed.
"Bachan what's wrong?" Sakura asked worriedly. She walked over to her and looked in her bed. She started to scream also. Bachan looked over Susan and Simon's body to see if they were still alive. Sakura started to cry and ran from the room. She picked up a phone and dialed 911.
"Hello?" Sakura said on the verge of hysterics.
"Ambulance, Police, or Fire truck?" someone asked on the other side.
"Ambulance! Police! Help me! Susan and Simon! They've been hurt!" she screamed. Kids crowded around her and looked at her questioningly. "Go into the playroom and stay there!" Sakura ordered. "Don't come out no matter what!" All the kids ran in there afraid. "Hello?" she cried again on the phone. "Come to the orphanage! They've been hurt! Someone hurt the twins!" She hung up the phone and ran back into the room. Bachan was crying on the floor.
"Sakura, someone has hurt my children!" she cried. "Someone killed them!" Sakura ran over to the bed and looked, not believing what she said. The twins were lying there cold and lifeless. Dried blood stained the sheets and Si and Su were holding onto each other. It looked like they had been killed in their sleep, but why? Sakura looked away quickly and retched in a trash can near the bed.
Downstairs medics ran inside followed by police. They looked around, but saw nothing and went upstairs. When they entered the room they saw Sakura and Bachan next to the bodies of two children, lying on a bed. The medics ran up, while the police went to Sakura and Bachan.
"I guess it was this address who called," one of the police said. "Do you know what happened here?" he helped the woman out of the room and Sakura followed.
"I– I d– don't know," she stuttered out and collapsed. The man called a medic over to take care of her and went over to Sakura.
"Do you know who made the call?"
"I did," Sakura said dazed. She stared off into space.
//Oni-chan... Just like oni-chan...//
"Huh?" she asked realizing the officer had been saying something.
"I said, I know that you probably don't want to talk about this, but we need to know. Do you know who else was supposed to be in the room last night?"
"It was just us three. I read them a story in my bed," she started to cry. "And they fell asleep, so I went to sleep in one of their beds. This morning, I heard Bachan scream and I got up to see what was wrong and... and..."
"Shh. It's ok," he said trying to comfort her.
"No it's not!" Sakura screamed. "How can you say that when they're dead!" The officer shook his head apologetically and a medic came up and whispered something in his ear. He nodded.
"We'll be back," he said and walked away. Sakura fell to the floor and started crying harder. She saw two stretchers being taken downstairs and she followed.
"You should stay here," one of the medics said.
"Who did this? Why did they do it?" she cried and walked outside with them. When she got outside the place was swarming with cops and there was a news crew talking with the cops. When Sakura came out the news crew went to her.
"Excuse me young lady, but do you know what happened?" the reporter asked. Sakura started to cry heavier.
"Someone killed them," she said. "Someone killed the twins." Then a cop came an ushered her back inside.
***
"Oh my god!" Tomoyo shouted watching the news. "Sakura!" Her mother walked into the room.
"What are you yelling for, Tomoyo?" Sonomi asked.
"There was a shooting at the orphanage Sakura's at!" she yelled. "I have to get over there!"
"Alright hunny. I'll tell the driver to take you there right away." Tomoyo wasn't listening, she just ran down to the driveway.
***
"Meiling!" Syaoran shouted from the shower. "What's the weather going to be like today?"
"I don't know!" she yelled back eating a muffin.
"Well can you turn on the T.V. and check?" he asked.
"Fine," she called back. She turned on the T.V. and saw Sakura. "Hey isn't that Sakura?" she asked Syaoran who came out of the bathroom.
"Yeah, why?"
"Because it says that she was at an orphanage where two kids were shot."
"WHAT!? Come on let's go!"
***
Naru looked at her red dress on the hanger and frowned. She turned on the T.V. and saw Sakura standing in front of and orphanage. "What the hell is she doing on T.V.?" Just then a man in a black suit came in. "What the hell is wrong with you!" she screamed at him. "Can't you do anything right? I ask one little thing and you screw it up!" she said and threw the dress at him. He mumbled an apology and walked out of the room with the dress.
***
"Sakura!" Tomoyo and ran into the orphanage. The cops tried to stop her, but they were held back by Syaoran and Meiling who had just ran in.
"Where's Sakura?" Meiling said.
"Upstairs I think!" Tomoyo said and ran up there. She was followed by Syaoran and Meiling. They ran into a room and saw and old woman sitting on a bed and Sakura standing over one. Tomoyo ran up beside her and hugged her.
"Sakura! I saw what happened on T.V.! Are you ok?"
"T– Tomoyo! What are you doing here?" Sakura asked through her tears.
"We came to see if you were alright," Syaoran said walking up.
"Yeah. We wanted to make sure you were alright when we saw you on the television," Meiling said and covered the bloodstained bed with a blanket from another bed.
"This is all my fault," Sakura said and sat down where she was standing.
"No it's not!" Tomoyo said. "None of this is your fault."
"Yes it is!" Sakura screamed back. "First my oni-chan dies because of me and now the twins! They were sleeping in MY bed. If I had just told them to move after I had read them the story, if I had just moved them, they would still be alive!" she cried.
"It's not your fault Sakura," Syaoran said. "Whoever did this will be caught by the police." Just then a cop walked in.
"Miss Kinomoto, I think we need to talk," he said seriously. Sakura walked over to him followed by her friends. The cop looked at them, but Sakura said it was ok. "Well eight years ago, your family was–"
"Murdered," Sakura finished.
"Yes. It was your bed that the children were in when they were shot. We think that it was you they were attempting to kill." Sakura stared at him in shock.
"Why?" she asked faintly. "Why would someone do this?"
"So your saying that whoever killed her family is trying to kill her now?" Syaoran asked.
"Exactly. Miss Kinomoto do you know a place where you can stay?" the cop asked.
"She can stay with me," Tomoyo said. "I'm sure my mother will say yes."
"Alright. I'll go tell your caretaker that your leaving and we'll escort you back home."
"No need. I have my own body guards that are with me," she replied.
"Ok then. I'll be seeing you around I hope," he said and left.
"If that was an attempt at black humor, it was very bad," Meiling said at the cop. He only shrugged as he left.
"Come on Sakura, let's get your stuff and leave. We'll stay at my house today."
"We got to go to school you guys so we'll be seeing you later," Syaoran said.
//I'd rather stay here though.//
"We'll be over right after school with everyone," Meiling said as she left.
"Bye you guys," Sakura said weakly. Tomoyo helped her with her stuff and they left to her house.
***
"Tomoyo, Sakura!" Sonomi said as they came in. "I'm glad your alright Sakura. I was so worried." Sakura smiled as she was lead into a guest room.
"You can stay here. My room is right next to yours," Tomoyo said as she set Sakura's stuff down on a table. The room had light pink carpet, and matching curtains hanging in the window. The bed was a darker shade of pink with light pink sakura flower's as decoration.
"This is the room I stayed in for the week my dad left," Sakura said.
"Yeah. We left it as it was hoping that you'd return and you have," Tomoyo said shutting the curtains. "And here you are."
"I'm here getting other people killed, while someone is trying to kill me," Sakura said sadly.
"It's not your fault! We're going to find whoever did this and make sure that they get the death penalty for what they've done," she comforted.
"Thanks Tomoyo. Could you leave me alone for a while?"
"Of course. I'll be back later." She gave Sakura another hug and left. Sakura laid down in the big bed and cried herself to sleep.
To Be Continued...

Hey everyone. You guys don't mind that I skip through most of the school day do you? I mean it's only school. Not like you do anything important there... But the twins were shot! Poor Sakura. First her family was killed and now the twins. So sad that is.
When you call 911 they ask if you want a ambulance, police, or fire truck or something like that. Sorry that I couldn't remember exactly, but you get the gist, right?
So what did you think? REVIEW! I want to know every thing that you though whether it was good or bad. I don't care! Any criticism is welcome. REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!

"Sakura! Your late," her boss, Mr. Urashima yelled.
"What?" Sakura screamed and looked down at her watch. "My watch says I'm early!"
"Well your watch is wrong," he replied. "Go back and get your delivery. It's to the museum again. And don't be late!"
"Yes sir!" she said and went into the kitchen. "Hey Syaoran. Bye Syaoran," she said and picked up her delivery and left.

"Miss Kinomoto, I think we need to talk," he said seriously. Sakura walked over to him followed by her friends. The cop looked at them, but Sakura said it was ok. "Well eight years ago, your family was–"
"Murdered," Sakura finished.
"Yes. It was your bed that the children were in when they were shot. We think that it was you they were attempting to kill." Sakura stared at him in shock.
"Why?" she asked faintly. "Why would someone do this?"
"So your saying that whoever killed her family is trying to kill her now?" Syaoran asked.
"Exactly. Miss Kinomoto do you know a place where you can stay?" the cop asked.
"She can stay with me," Tomoyo said. "I'm sure my mother will say yes."
"Alright. I'll go tell your caretaker that your leaving and we'll escort you back home."
"No need. I have my own body guards that are with me," she replied.
"Ok then. I'll be seeing you around I hope," he said and left.
"If that was an attempt at black humor, it was very bad," Meiling said at the cop. He only shrugged as he left.
"Come on Sakura, let's get your stuff and leave. We'll stay at my house today."
"We got to go to school you guys so we'll be seeing you later," Syaoran said.
//I'd rather stay here though.//
"We'll be over right after school with everyone," Meiling said as she left.
"Bye you guys," Sakura said weakly. Tomoyo helped her with her stuff and they left to her house.

"Tomoyo, Sakura!" Sonomi said as they came in. "I'm glad your alright Sakura. I was so worried." Sakura smiled as she was lead into a guest room.
"You can stay here. My room is right next to yours," Tomoyo said as she set Sakura's stuff down on a table. The room had light pink carpet, and matching curtains hanging in the window. The bed was a darker shade of pink with light pink sakura flower's as decoration.
"This is the room I stayed in for the week my dad left," Sakura said.
"Yeah. We left it as it was hoping that you'd return and you have," Tomoyo said shutting the curtains. "And here you are."
"I'm here getting other people killed, while someone is trying to kill me," Sakura said sadly.
"It's not your fault! We're going to find whoever did this and make sure that they get the death penalty for what they've done," she comforted.
"Thanks Tomoyo. Could you leave me alone for a while?"
"Of course. I'll be back later." She gave Sakura another hug and left. Sakura laid down in the big bed and cried herself to sleep.
