"Sakura!" a female voice said. The voice was full of worry.
Sakura looked up, "oh, hey Tomoyo." Sakura gave her a weak smile.
Tomoyo looked her friend over. Her eyes were red and puffy, she had been crying. Well, that was fair, seeing as she had just lost her mother, and what had happened with Robert. Her hair was a bit of a mess, strands of it sticking out in different places. And she was wearing her pajamas.
A night had passed since the happenings between Robert and Sakura. So it was now morning, today she would hear the news of Robert. And tomorrow, she would have to go back to school.
"Hey, come on, lets get you ready to go down to the police station." Tomoyo said softly. Sakura had to go down to the police station, to tell her story and to hear about Robert from them. She hadn't wanted to go alone, so last night she had called Tomoyo to ask her to come. Tomoyo had obviously agreed to take Sakura there.
Tomoyo gently pulled Sakura out of bed and got her ready. And then together they walked down to the police station. Tomoyo would have had them driven there, but she decided it was best to get Sakura some fresh air.
Once they made it to the station, they walked inside and asked for Sergent Yamu. Mary had told Sakura to ask for him, as he had the information.
After being led to his office, they knocked on the door. A man in his late 40's opened the door. He had brownish-grey hair that was balding. And a few wrinkle lines on his face. He ushered them inside and told them to sit down.
Then he got Sakura to tell her story about Robert. After hearing that, Yamu sighed.
"Miss Kinomoto, I have some good news, and some bad news. The good news is that, Robert is still alive, so you didn't kill him. The other is that, he's missing."
Sakura gasped, and stared at Yamu shocked. "But-but...no..."
"I'm afraid so, miss. We've sent out a search team for Robert. Our best policemen are on the job. I assure you we will find him, before he does any else."
Sakura nodded slowly. How could he have escaped? After all she had done to finally make sure that he would be put away, he was gone. It just wasn't fair.
"Now, do you have a ride home?" Sakura shook her head.
"We were just going to walk back, that's how we got here." Tomoyo said for the first time.
Yamu nodded. "Ah...well, I'm going to have to get someone to take you home, just incase."
Sakura once again nodded. Tomoyo and Sakura were then led to a women named Sussan.
"This is Officer Sussan Mino. She will be the one to drive you safely back."
After that Yamu left, and a while later, Sussan led the girls to her car and drove them back to Social Services.

Sakura sat down on her bed, Tomoyo had left after Sakura had told her she wanted to be alone for awhile. She could feel the tears falling again. But she was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Sakura, Sakura honey, are you in there?" It was Mary. "I have some news for you."
Sakura reluctantly opened the door, Mary walked in and sat down on the chair.
"It's about your living arrangements. I've contacted someone who's agreed to take you."
Sakura felt her heart slow. Who could it be?
"His name is Fujitaka Kinomoto. Does that name sound familiar to you?"
Sakura nodded. "The last name at least. It's my last name."
"Ah...okay, he explained you might not know who he was. Sakura, Mr. Kinomoto is your father."
Sakura gasped. After all these years of not contacting her, after having cheated on her mother, he wanted her to come with him.
"Where, where does he live?" She managed to get out.
"He lives in Tokyo. With your brother Touya Kinomoto."
Sakura stared wide-eyed at Mary. "I have a brother?" she pratically shouted.
"Yes, he's 18, after your parents divorced, your father gained custody over Touya, and your mother over you. He said he's been trying to contact you for years, but to no avail."
Sakura eyes started to water. 'So he did want to meet me. It was probably Robert stopping him.' Sakura let out a small smile.
"Okay, so I'll go and live with my father in Tokyo." She said, but her smile suddenly changed into a frown.
"But what about Katie?"
Mary shook her head. "No one's come forward to take custody of her. I'm going to have to call some of her aunts or uncles."
Sakura shook her head hard. "No! I'm not letting anyone related to Robert take custody of her! I'm going to stay here in Tomoeda, until you find someone I agree can look after Katie."
Mary sighed. "Okay, I thought that might happen. I'll go contact your father and tell him."
Sakura nodded. Mary walked out the door, and Sakura shut it behind her. She let go of the handle and slid down the door, thumping when she hit the ground.
"Oh god, what are we going to do with Katie..." she whispered.

It was Monday morning, and Sakura was walking slowly to school, she climbed up the school steps and made her way to the classroom. Today was going to be the last day of school here for Sakura.
She opened the door, and noticed that everyone was crowded around something. Quickly they all turned around and stared at Sakura. 'Strange...' she thought. 'they never take notice of me.'
Suddenly one girl with blond hair and hazel eyes spoke up.
"Sakura, we're sorry for the way we treated you. We should have been there for you more. If we had just been more friendly, then you maybe would have told us what was wrong. We're sorry about your mother, she didn't deserve it. We heard you're leaving for Tokyo, so we made you this card to make up for all the years we didn't treat you right."
Two boys turned aournd and grabbed something out from behind them. It was a huge card. And inside was the whole classes signature, although there seemed to be more.
A red-haired girl with blue eyes decided it was her turn to speak. "Some people from other classes wanted to sign it too.
Sakura sat down in a chair. She was overwhelmed. They did care about her. Slowly tears began falling down her cheek. She felt arms wrap around her and looked up to see the blond haired girl smiling at her.
"Can we start over?" She asked.
Sakura nodded.
"Hi, my name's Tora Killi. What's yours?"
Sakura smiled. "Sa-" she gulped down a cry. "Sakura Kinomoto."
Tora put her out her hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Sakura took her hand, "You too."
At the end of the day, Sakura had made friends with the whole class and a few extras. She was happy. She wouldn't go to Tokyo with a bad memory of her school. And maybe the people in Tokyo will be nice too.

Sakura arrived at Social Services, only to find, Mary (A/N I'm going to make Mary 24..I know .. quite young for a social server...but yeah ) running excitedly towards her.
"Sakura!" She cried out. "You're ever going to believe this-"
