Chapter 2: Exodus
When Sakura reached her house, she realized no one was in so she took out her key from her backpack and unlocked the door. One inside, she took off her shoes and ran upstairs to her bedroom. She closed the door and flung both herself and her backpack on the bed. She turned on some music Touya left for her to listen to. The song was from America, the place he was working in at the moment, and was by a band called Evanescence. Sakura sat and listened, and thought. She concentrated on the lyrics which gave her ideas.
My black backpack's stuffed with broken dreams
20 bucks should get me through the week
Never said a word of discontentment
Fought it a thousand times but now
I'm leaving home
Sakura sat up. "That's it. That's how I have to forget him. I have to leave. Everyone I know makes me think about him so I have to be around people I don't know." She emptied her backpack on the floor and filled it with 4 changes of clothing, some photo's of her friends and family and some food. She ran into her parents' room. Right in front of her was a small and very decorative chest. 'That's where they keep the money.' She thought. She pulled a pin out from hair and started to pick the lock. After she was successful, she opened up the chest to find a hefty amount of money inside. There was a separate section divided by piece of paper. She pulled it out and scanned it. It read: Sakura's Funds. She took all the money from that side and some from her parents' side. 'This should last me at least 3 weeks.' She thought to herself. She put the money in her bag and ran down the stairs. The final task before she left was to write a farewell note. She began: Dear Dad,
You don't know how hard it was to do this but I had to. I love you so very much and I always will. I'm leaving because I need to. I'm sorry about the money too but I need it to survive. I'm going to miss you so much. And Touya too. So, this is goodbye. I'd have said it to your face but I don't have the courage. I love you and don't you ever forget that,
Sakura
She folded it across the centre and put it in an envelope, addressed to Kinomoto-san, then set off after locking the door. She walked for miles only stopping for short rests and drinks. It was getting later and Sakura was becoming ever more fatigued. By midnight she had reached a dangerous part of Ropponi. There was a youth hostel right ahead of her so she decided to stop there for the night.
Here in the shadows
I'm safe
I'm free
I've nowhere else to go but
I cannot stay where I don't belong
A stern looking lady sat at a battered desk by the doorway. Sakura approached cautiously. "How long you stayin'?" She asked in a gruff voice. "Just tonight," Sakura replied shakily. "Name." "Sakura Kinomoto." The woman began writing on a very grungy piece of paper. "Go on through. Find yourself a bed or a sleeping bag on the floor. There should be some left." Sakura walked on in. She was very nervous. She had never truly been anywhere alone before. Even if she went anywhere on her own, Kero-chan was sneaky and jumped into her bag. 'But he couldn't-' Sakura thought.
She found a sleeping bag in the corner of the hostel. She sat down and rummaged through her bag. Kero-chan wasn't there. Sakura sighed in relief. He was still in the Kinomoto household, safely tucked up in his drawer with the Clow Cards. Sakura felt a presence around her. She looked up, 5 girls stood before her were studying her. "A newbie," the tallest said. She had raven hair and piercing blue eyes. The others started talking among themselves. Then the tallest spoke again. The others were quiet. "Hey, kid! What's your name?" "Sakura." "Cool name," she replied. "I'm Katsu and my friends are Emi, Chikako, Yasu and Takeshi." The four girls nodded. "So how come you're here?" Sakura asked. "Because we're smart and independent," Chikako said. "You're here the same reason, right?" "Yeah," Sakura lied. "I thought I'd show my mom whose boss." "Good for you. Wanna hang out with us?" Katsu asked. "Sure." Sakura was happy. She had someone to hang out with. She wasn't completely alone.
Sakura crawled into her sleeping bag. It was damp and it smelled rancid. A number of woodlice and other insects were crawling around the corner. The walls were crumbling Away and the ceiling above her head had a leak. It was not going to be a good night.
Two months pass by and it's getting cold
I know I'm not lost
I am just alone
But I won't cry
I won't give up
I can't go back now
Waking up is knowing who you really are
The people of the Kinomoto household were dismayed and anxious. Sakura's note was on the fridge. Fujitaka was pacing the room whilst Nadesico and Yukito were comforting a very distressed Touya. Sakura had been gone for 17 hours now and despite their phone call to the police, they felt no better.
Sakura got her clothes and got changed in the bathroom. It was disgusting inside and it smelled putrid. She doubted it had ever been cleaned. Once changed, she stepped out and waited for her friends. They were all ready and waiting to show Sakura around. 'They seem like nice girls,' she thought. As soon as they left the building, they broke into a frenzy of chatting. "So where are we going first," Sakura asked. "To get you a job," Katsu replied. "What kind of job?" "With us in the entertainment business," Emi answered. "What do you do?" Sakura inquired. "Well what do you think? We entertain!" Takeshi joked. Sakura laughed along with them. She may have opportunity to sing, or dance or even act! She was delighted by the thought of this but tried to not get her hopes up.
Here in the shadows
I'm safe
I'm free
I've nowhere else to go but
I cannot stay where I don't belong
As they got to the doors of a shabby building, just a few blocks down from the youth hostel, and went inside, a suspicious looking middle-aged man greeted them with a smile revealing ghastly yellowed teeth. "A new recruit?" he asked eagerly. The girls nodded. "I'll raise your wages then." The girls smiled and thanked him. "Come on then, Sakura. We'll show you the ropes," Chikako cried. The girls walked over to a red door and walked inside. There were rows of costumes and such like inside. Sakura browsed them. "You wear anyone of them you want," Yuri told her. She was wearing black leather hot pants and bikini top. Sakura stopped and picked out a tight white sleeveless top and a short pleated skirt much like her school skirt. The girls complemented her choice then Katsu approached her. She was wearing a leopard print outfit. She yanked at the zip of Sakura's top making it more revealing. "Sorry, it looks better like that. Oh, and change that-" She plucked her bra strap. "-for this." She handed Sakura a drawstring bra. Sakura didn't say anything, she just did as she was told. The man from earlier approached the girls. "Katsu, you have a client waiting for you. Please see to it that he gets his money's worth," he said. "Yes, Chuhsha-san." "You have a client too Sakura," he told her grinning. Sakura nodded and followed Katsu. "Where do I go?" Sakura asked. "The room next to mine," Katsu replied. She entered the room before Sakura could thank her. Sakura entered. A man in his early forties was sat on a bed. 'Client,' Sakura thought. She realized what she'd agreed to. "Come on, then!" The man was growing impatient. Sakura froze. The man approached her. She went to open the door but he stopped her. He grabbed her and brought her over to the bed. "I want my money's worth and I'm going to get it," he exclaimed. Sakura gave in. She was scared. She had been foolish but she wasn't going back home, she just couldn't.
Here in the shadows
I'm safe
I'm free
I've nowhere else to go but
I cannot stay where I don't belong
She had 5 clients in the 2 hours she worked. She was ready to go back to the hostel to sleep and imagine it never happened. The girls agreed to let her go but they told her to meet them outside at midnight when the fun really began. Sakura came back to the hostel. "Name?" The old lady asked. "Sakura Kinomoto." "Right." "Can I have an extension for how long I can stay here?" "Yeah. How long?" "2 weeks." Sakura walked back inside and laid down on her sleeping bag. She was so wiped out that she fell asleep and didn't wake up until 11pm.
Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more is made in empty eyes
Sakura got up and grabbed some clothes and got changed in the bathroom. It took her half an hour to get ready. She messed around with her hair and put on some make-up and adjusted her clothes. She ran downstairs and left the building. The girls were coming around the corner as she left. 'Let's hope this is more fun than the job they gave me,' she thought.
well there's chapter two. I hope it wasn't too bad. Sakura wasn't too wise, was she? Let's hope she get sort herself out. 'Til next time, Hermionepea
