Hi guys. I'm back. New plots for my story keep popping up in my head. But I have to keep it to the original plot. Thanks for your reviews. I really appreciate it. You've probably heard me say that a million times but hey. I'll say it again. I really appreciate it. I want to apologize for making Fujitaka a violent parent but I thought it would - wait! I can't say that. It will give away the rest of the plot. Anyway. On with the story.

Chapter 3: Please tell me
Sakura got up extra early this morning. She had to cover the bruise she had with make up. She was now an official expert at this. But she decided to be extra careful. She didn't want Mr Li to see her bruise. Why? She was not sure why. All she knew was that she didn't want him to see it.
Half an hour later and Sakura was making her way to school, looking completely normal. She went to the classroom door and was surprised to see that half the class was there already. She thought she set off early. Oh well.
When she entered all gazes turned to her. They soon all went back to doing what they were doing except one. Sakura turned her head and gasped as she saw Mr Li staring at her with concern in his eyes. He looked worried about something. She smiled at him and he weakly smiled back.
Sakura took her seat and waited patiently for the bell to go. Only a few more hours and she will be having detention with Mr Li. She used to look forward to it but today she was dreading it. She knew he was going to ask questions. She knew he would and she did not want to answer them.
So here she was in detention. She was waiting yet again for Mr Li and she was surprised to say the least when he walked through the door straight to where she was sitting. He bent down so he was eye level with her and wordlessly he reached up and put his finger on her cheek.
She would have gasped had it not been for the fact that she was punched there less than 24 hours ago. She flinched at his touch and he immediately pulled away like his hand had been burned. A frown appeared on his face and he looked at Sakura gently.
"Who did this to you Sakura?" He asked softly. She was surprised that he used her first name but that didn't mean he was getting any answers out of her.
"I don't want to talk about it." She said bluntly. Avoiding eye contact.
Mr Li put his hand under her chin and lifted her face up so her gaze was on his eyes. She felt herself drowning and was desperate for air but she couldn't, no wouldn't, pull away.
"Please tell me Sakura. I only want to help." She could see the sincerity in his eyes and she felt like crying. How she wanted to tell him. But she couldn't. She wouldn't risk his life as well.
"I'm sorry but I can't tell you. I'm so sorry." And with that said she got up and swiftly left the classroom. So what if she had 20 minutes of detention left. She couldn't face him. Not yet anyway.
Sakura walked home slowly. She didn't care if her father would hit her. She had gotten used to it over the years. It was how her mother died. How her brother died. She was surprised that he wasn't locked up but she wouldn't be the one to do it.
She found a park. The one she used to go to when she was a kid. She sat on a swing and slowly tears filled her eyes. But she wouldn't let them drop.
Flashback
"What you gonna do dad? Hit me? Go on then! Just like you did to mum!" A 10 year old Sakura heard her brother yell.
Sakura was used to this but Touya never confronted their dad before. He tried to protect Sakura. Sakura noticed he was getting weaker as the days past. Very weak. She didn't think he could handle one more hit.
SLAM
Sakura screamed as she saw her brothers body fall to the floor, his head covered in blood. Touya weakly lifted up his head and gave Sakura a reassuring smile. His face then portrayed horror as he saw a shadow cover his body.
"Run Sakura! Run and hide! RUN!" Touya yelled as their dad started running towards him.
Sakura screamed again and ran out of the room. She hid in the under stairs cupboard. She then became conscious of how loud her breathing was and how loud her heart thumped. She was sure her dad would here it. And the more she thought about it the louder it became.
Sakura was not quite sure how long she was in the cupboard for but when she came out it was silent in the house. Sakura went to the room she last saw her brother in. When she rounded the corner and looked in the doorway she collapsed on to her knees.
There lying in a pool of blood was her brother. He was motionless and Sakura felt her heart give a little thud. She crawled up to him and gently prodded him.
"Touya?" She whispered. "Touya? Touya don't do this to me." She gave a shaky laugh and waited for her brother to reply.
She shook him again but this time more violently. "Touya!" She yelled. "Touya! Wake up! WAKE UP!" She screeched.
She then felt tears roll down her cheeks. He wouldn't keep her waiting for this long. Yes he was a little bit mean but if she needed help he was there. She lay down next to him and put her head on his chest. She felt warm blood seep through her clothes and a few more tears fell down her face. By the time she woke up police were surrounding her and someone was trying to pull her away from Touya's body. She held on for as long as possible but to no avail.
End Flashback
Sakura felt hot tears rolling down her cheeks. She also felt the hard ground beneath her shins. She must of fallen. But what shocked her the most was a pair of arms drawing her into a close, warm and loving embrace.
