I Think I Can

Summary: When Sakura kills Meiling, only the worst can come out of it. She is put up for trial and while that is going on, is put through counseling. What will bring this big bad teen back to a happy bouncy 18-year old girl?
Is that person's name Syaoran?

Note: I do not own Card Captors/Card Captor Sakura. I wish I did, but,
alas, I don't.

Ch.3 A Father's Love

Tomoyo walked out and closed the door. She put her hand on my shoulder and
started crying.
"But, why Meiling? What did she do to you?" Tomoyo asked. I looked down at my feet and shook my head. She tried to comfort me, but, no words could come out of my mouth. I couldn't put myself to say anything.

"Its okay, Sakura. I understand... Eriol, right?" she said.
I started crying, and I wouldn't stop. Tomoyo kept patting my back like everything was okay. But, nothing was okay. Nothing at all. I had killed Meiling, I had killed her because... because.... Why did I kill her? Was it all part of my jealousy? Or was it my rage because Meiling had humiliated
me?

Now, it was me and Tomoyo, standing on her porch, crying. After fifteen
whole minutes of crying, Tomoyo's mother stepped out. She was holding a
phone, and when she saw me, she trembled.

"Sakura... I didn't know you'd be here." she said. "This is your dad on the
phone."

I nodded my head, and Mrs. Daidouji signaled Tomoyo to follow her. Tomoyo
did. Soon enough, I was the only one out here. I looked at the phone; I wasn't yet ready to face my father. Finally I had the courage to put it up
to my face.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Sakura. I'm not really sure what to say about this. I- I- don't know.
Never once have I been in a situation like this."

His words burned like fire in my heart. 'You?! You?!' I thought. 'I have never been in a situation like this, either!' But, I could not speak those
words. Nothing came out of me. I just stood there.

"Sakura, you need to understand. Our family has been torn apart many times, but this, I don't know. Sakura... you need to understand the decision I am
going to make. You may not like it, but, it will help you."

I took the phone down from my face, and pushed the off button. He just
doesn't understand! He thinks the whole world revolves around him, and nothing else! I threw the phone into the grass and ran home. In my own bed, I should be safe. But, I forgot about Kero. He was still there. He would never trust me, never believe me. He would never have my back. Nobody was
on my side this time. Now I knew how it felt.

When I reached home, I flung my self on my bed, and put the covers over my head. Kero must have noticed I was home, because he came over and soothed me. I stayed there until in became dark, and Kero finally gave up, because no more words came from anywhere. Silence. But then, I heard yelling going on downstairs. I got out of my room, and snuck out and stuck my head in the
railing. It was dad. He was on the phone.

"No! I don't know what to do with that girl!" he exclaimed. "I've been
trying to raise her for years, but nothing comes out right!"

There was a short pause, then more shouting.

"No, I haven't thought of that. Yes, you have already told me about guidance counseling, but, I need more for her then that! Sending her away
to Hong Kong?!"

There was another pause, but this time, a long one. Dad's voice got
quieter.

"Hm.... maybe that is a good idea. No fees, no paying? Hmm... But, how
long will she stay with that family? A couple of months, eh? You got a deal. She goes to Hong Kong to live with a family, and then, while that is going on, they will arrange something in court. That's it? Okay, you got
it."

Sending me to Hong Kong? Me?! At that sudden moment, my dad had hung up the phone. I scurried into my bed room and hid under the covers. I heard my dad come up and open the door. I pretended to be asleep, because he sat right
next to my bed.

"Sakura, I am so sorry for any trouble I have caused. I want you to know I
have always loved, I love you, and will always love you."

He gave me a kiss on the check, and left the room. As soon as I was sure
that door was shut, I sat up straight.

"What was that about?!" I asked myself.
