Recap from Last Chapter:

---

Time passed. Sonomi acted nice to Sakura, providing everything she needs, getting close to Sakura trying to get her to sign a slip of paper so she could use the money in the bank. Sakura was smart enough to leave it in the bank. Every time Sonomi asked, Sakura would say she wants to use it for something important. Sonomi gets impatient.

Years passed. Each year got worst. The first two or three years Sakura received good service at home. Tomoyo and Sakura became close friends.

But things got bad. Sonomi became VERY impatient. She wanted her hands on Sakura's inheritance. Sonomi started making Sakura do all the chores and constantly made her miss school just do errands for her. But matter only became worst.

Chapter Two: Escaping From Evil

"Tomoyo! I got an invitation to Momoko's costume party!" Sakura shouted as she came home from school. Tomoyo had been sick so she was home at bed.

Oh no, Tomoyo should be resting. Sakura thought as she tip toed up the stairs.

She went up to Tomoyo's bedroom. She quietly opened the door to see if Tomoyo's asleep. Just as she was about to open it, a hand rested on her shoulder.

Busted! Sakura thought as she gritted her teeth.

"What do you think you are doing?" a voice said.

Sakura turned her head with a small smile. "Auntie Sonomi, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with your friends?"

"Don't think you could change the subject." Sonomi said with anger written on her face. "Why aren't your chores done?"

"But Auntie Sonomi-" Sakura started but her aunt cut in.

"I told you, you can't go to school or go anywhere until your chores are done while I'm gone" Sonomi shouted.

"Auntie Sonomi, I just wanted to go to school... I missed out so much." Sakura said as she started falling on her knees.

"You live here under my roof, you should do things to repay us and that is to listen to me."

"I know but I really want to go to school."

"Who said you could talk to me like that?" Sonomi started looking around. "Where is that whip?"

Sakura's eyes widen. She stood back up and pulled on her aunt's arm. "Oh Auntie Sonomi, I'm sorry I should have listened to you, please forgive me."

Sonomi noticed the whip on the table and ran to get it. Sakura pulled on her arm tighter. Sonomi swung her arm and Sakura fell on the floor. "No please don't."

She stood in front of Sakura who was the floor as tears started forming in her eye. "You should have thought about the outcome before doing something. And you know how I hate the house to be dirty. You came to live here and you should expect this to happen. This is all your doing, it's your life."

Sakura held on to her aunt's pants as her tears starting flowing down. "I promise this won't happen again."

Sonomi whacked the whip once on the railing. "It's already too late."

She held her hand up high in a position stating she's going to hit Sakura, Tomoyo ran out of her room in order to stop her mother.

"Mother, Sakura only went out because she wanted freedom. She didn't do anything wrong."

Sonomi lowered her hand. "You are supposed to be on my side. You little betrayer, I'm your mother. Why are you helping her?"

"Because she did nothing wrong."

Sonomi growled. "How dare you betray me? And they always say daughters always end up betraying their family."

"Mother, I don't care what you say. I'm on Sakura's side."

Sonomi swung her arm once again and Tomoyo fell right next to Sakura.

"Tomoyo, you don't have to help me. It's my entire problem; I should have listened to her."

Tomoyo shook her head, "You don't have to listen to her, you were right."

"You two shut up! Tomoyo, if you say another word, I'll hit you too." Sonomi raised her hand with the whip.

Tomoyo held her head high. "I don't care, hit me if you want. Since I never wanted a mother like you."

Sonomi's eyes grew red. Red with anger.

...

After an hour of screaming and yells, everything seemed to quiet down. Neighbors would have known what happened in the Daidouji house, everybody would. But no one would say anything.

"Tomoyo, (sniff) I didn't mean to drag you into this." Sakura said with another sniff.

Tomoyo wiped her tears, "It's okay, I got use to it."

Sakura dropped her head, "This is my entire fault, and these things wouldn't have happened if I didn't come ..."

"It's already been six years. You can't say whose fault it is. Your parents died and you had to go somewhere anyway. But you could have gone somewhere else; my mother was only after your inheritance."

"I didn't mean to ruin your relationship with your mom, she must be really mad at us." Sakura tilted her head.

Tomoyo shook her head with a small smile. "I got enough of her thinking she has powers or something and always bossing you around. After all you are her niece."

"She never really liked my father very much."

Tomoyo shrugged. "I guess so."

Sakura sighed. "I don't want life like this everyday."

Tomoyo put on an encouraging smile. "Don't be like that; I'm sure your parents up in heaven don't want you to be like this."

Sakura smiled a bit, "I guess your right."

Tomoyo smiled broadly while putting the last bandage on Sakura's upper arm. "So what are we going to do now?"

"I still have chores to do," Sakura shot up.

Tomoyo growled, "You don't have to listen to her."

"But she's your mother... if I don't listen to her; she might hit us again..." Sakura said as tears began to form in her eyes again.

Tomoyo quickly wiped them away to prevent them from falling, "Oh Sakura, who cares about her? She went out with her so called friends and she won't be back until very late at night, I assume."

"So?"

Tomoyo looked at her, "So... before she comes back, we have to come up with a plan to escape from evil."

"How?"

"We'll run away."

...

"Where did you get this boat?"

"My friend owns it; he'll help us across the sea. We'll go somewhere as far from Japan as possible."

Sakura looked back. "Would your mom be mad at us?"

Tomoyo shrugged. "She already is, I don't care about her. She's too evil to be my mom."

"But she is your mother..."

"I don't have a mother evil as her."

A guy stepped on the deck, "Tomoyo, the boat's all set. I advise you to go to China for now, since your mom would least suspect there."

Tomoyo looked at Sakura who had a sad face, "Anywhere's fine, just as long as my mom won't find us."

Sakura sighed. Tomoyo looked at her, "You miss Japan?"

She nodded. "After all this is my home land, so many memories."

"Sakura, I know what you mean but if we don't leave this place, my mother's only going to torture us. We're 16 already and we don't have any freedom."

Sakura tilted her head, "I guess you're right."

Tomoyo put her hands on her hips, "Now give me a smile."

Sakura gave a weak smile.

Tomoyo frowned, "You'll smile later. Anyway, did you forget anything?"

She looked down at her suitcases and bags. "I think that's all, I didn't have a lot of clothes or anything."

Tomoyo looked at her watch. "I think it's about time we get on the boat. The faster we leave; the better."

Sakura nodded. As she stepped into the little motor boat a shout was heard behind them calling for Tomoyo. It was Aunt Sonomi's voice.

"Oh crap, how did she find us?" Tomoyo said.

Sakura asked franticly, "What do we do now?"

Tomoyo thought in a microsecond, "Gor, go."

"What?"

"GO! Drive the damn boat away!"

"But what about you?" Sakura asked.

Tomoyo gave an assuring smile, "She'll be here in a few seconds even, and I'll be fine. I'll find you later."

"But Tomoyo-"

"Just go. Good luck, Sakura. I put some money into your bags."

"Tomoyo..." Sakura knew it was no use to beg her any longer. "Thanks."

"Now go on. We'll see again... one day." The boat started speeding away. She waved good bye to Sakura who was waving back.

"We'll meet again some day."

...

Tomoyo's hands lowered as her mother came closer.

She pretended she didn't hear her mother before. "Oh hi mother, what are you doing here?"

"I should be asking what you are doing here with your bags and everything."

"Oh nothing, my friend invited me to a boat party but I thought about getting your consent first and decided not to go, they just lifted off."

"Oh... and did you see Sakura?"

Tomoyo was taken back; think... where's Sakura? I KN0W! "Sakura? I didn't see her before, I think she went to her parents' graves."

"Whatever, tell her if you see her, I won't be coming home until tomorrow and in the morning I want grape pancakes."

"I'll tell her when I see her." That might be in a few years. Tomoyo laughed inside.

Oh Sakura, please have a safe trip... Best wishes from me.
