Sakura walked around the park aimlessly. She didn't know what to do. She found herself beside a cherry blossom tree, so with a sigh, she sat down.
"What am I going to -" she started saying when a thought went through her head.
"Katie!" Sakura said, jumping up and jogging back to the house she had hoped she wouldn't have to go back to.
Quietly and carefully, Sakura walked up the steps, praying that Robert was still unconsicious. She opened the door slowly. She winced as a loud creak filled the house. Seeing no sign of Robert, she tried calling out.
"Hello?" It came out as a whisper, she couldn't bring her self to say it any louder. She made her way through the house to his room.
Glancing inside, she looked toward to beside, where Robert was last. Sakura's eyes grew wide with alarm. He was gone!
"oh god, Katie..." she whispered fearfully. She run to her room and pulled open the door. No one. Robert was gone, and Katie was with him. Tears started filling her eyes. Would this nightmare never end?
Outside the house, Robert made his way up the frontsteps. He walked through the already open door and stood looking around the house. And quickly shoving Katie down on the arm chair, he walked into the hallway.
"That little runt better be here. I'll teach her not to go squealing." He raspy voice said, echoing through the house. Sakura heard the echo not knowing what it said, she shivered. She got up and made her way to the lounge. Looking around the corner she saw Robert, standing there with a angry frown. He turned his head her way, Sakura pulled her head away, and hoped he hadn't seen her.
"I saw you, how could you? I told you not to say anything!"
Sakura edged her way around the corner. "I-I really do-don't know what yo- you're talking about, Robert." She said gulping.
"Dont you lie to me girl!" He grunted.
"Please tell me what you mean." She said, growing scared.
"You told someone about you're 'troubles' and they just told Social Services about it. Now I've been charged with murder. How could you?" He growled to her.
Sakura gasped. "Bu-but...who?" she had meant to say in her head, but instead she said it outloud.
"Some stupid little bitch called Tomoyo or something. Now stop asking questions!" He said, charging at her. Sakura looked around, but seeing nothing, she threw up her hand, and, pulling her elbow back, punched him straight in the nose, knocking him out. Where she got the strength to do that, she didn't know.
Robert stirred, he wasn't waking already was he? Sakura, startled, ran to the lounge and picked up the closet thing. A pillow. She ran back to Robert and pulled it over his head. He jerked his foot up, a sign that he was struggling. Sakura kept it there, knowing that if she killed him in self defense, and could prove it, she wouldn't be charged.
When Robert finally stopped struggling Sakura held the pillow for a few more seconds.
She stood up and went into her bedroom and opened up the drawer in her bedside table. Searching threw it she found what she was looking for. Grabbing it and a peice of paper, she went into the lounge, seeing Katie, she picked her up and trying not to cry, walked out of the house, to her destination.

Sakura stood outside a building, gathering up strength. When she felt she had enough, she walked into the building and towards the receptionist.
"Excuse me, but do you know where this person is?" She asked the lady at the counter, showing her the peice of card.
"Yes, she's just down the hall, door number 3, on the left."
Sakura looked at the receptionist with a thankful smile. "Thank you." She said quietly.
She walked down the hall and found number 3. She knocked on the door, sifting Katie to the arm, and waited outside.
She opened the door, when she heard a female voice say, "Come in."
The lady inside gasped, "Sakura! You're here! Thank goodness! Oh and you have your sister! Please sit down and explain everything."
Sakura sat down and put Katie on the floor next to her.
Sakura snapped and began to rush things out, "Hekilledmymotherandithoughtthatihavesomefootageofsomethingthatmightbeuseful imsorryhecamebackandhetriedtohurtmeandithinkikilledhim!"
Mary sat there, stunned, "What was the last thing?" She had managed to capture most of what she had said, but she wasn't sure about that last part.
"I...think...I killed him...in self defense..." Sakura said, trying not to break down.
"Oh god...do you have any evidence about him hurting you or...you're ...mother?"
Sakura nodded.
"Do you have cuts or bruises?"Mary thought this was what she meant, seeing as she could see nothing else on Sakura but those.
Sakura shook her head, and managed a small smile"I can do better than that, Mary, I have a video tape." She showed Mary the tape (A/N if you remeber Mary is the Social Service lady that told Sakura her mother died. ) Mary put it into the television. And began to watch it.
"Please Mary, if you don't mind, can I wait outside, I don't want to see this."
"Of course, I understand."
Sakura got up, and picked up Katie, making her way outside, she was thankful she kept that one tape, she and Syaoran had managed to get of Robert beating her mother. Sakura tried not to think of her mother, this wasn't a time to be sad, she could grieve later.
Mary opened the door. "This is great proof, Sakura. Robert will have the life sentence in no time. uh...that is if he's not.... In the meantime you are to stay here in Social Services, under our care, until we find somewhere else for you to go."
Sakura smiled, and tears started rolling down her cheeks, "Thank you," She managed to whisper before falling to the ground. She sat there crying and hugging Katie, until another Social Worker came to look after her.
