Nadeshiko has been bringing up Sakura as a single mother for a long time. When her old sweet heart comes back things go out of control, leaving Sakura virtually an orphan. Nadeshiko continues to take care of her for a period of time…then disappears. For Sakura's own good. In her pain, Sakura goes into a depression, a melancholy melody.

'Where did you go?!? You've been gone for almost a year! And who is this baby?! Who does it belong to?!?!?!'

'She's mine.'

'WHAT!?!?!'

'I told you, she's mine...'

'Did you and Eiichi…?'

'She's mine.'

'What did you name her?'

'Sakura…'

'After your favorite flower, right?'

'Yes, Sonomi, after my favorite flower…'

Eight years later

"OKA-SAN!!!" a young girl with short auburn hair and lively green eyes, screamed at the top of her lungs as she ran towards her mother.

"Look at what Tomoyo is trying to make me wear!" she cried pointing at a dress that another young girl with long dark hair was holding.

"Sakura, the dress Tomoyo made is darling…though maybe a little too much lace…" Nadeshiko muttered the last bit to herself, sweat-dropping. "Give your cousin a chance, Sakura!"

Sakura hung her head, "Alriiiight… but Tomoyo has to get rid of some of the lace! That stuff is gonna choke me to death!"

"Ohohohohohohoho!" Tomoyo laughed with sparkles in her violet eyes as she dragged poor Sakura away.

Nadeshiko giggled to herself as she watched the two cousins, they seemed to be just as close to each other as she and Sonomi once were. "I'm so glad to have Sakura." She sighed to herself. "I would be all alone without her…"

Her voice trailed off into silence and a single tear fell.

"NADESHIKO! NADESHIKO WHERE ARE YOU!?!?!?!" Sonomi came running to Nadeshiko, breathing hard and disheveled, what could have made her so excited?

"Do you want some water?" Sonomi did an anime fall.

"IIECHI IS BACK!"

"You can't be serious…" Nadeshiko suddenly became interested in a bit of wallpaper that was peeling off of the wall opposite of her.

"You know my mother's aunt's friend's sister's boyfriend's father's friend works in Tokyo right?"

"How did you memories that?"

"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!"

"Isn't his name…Mokoda?"

"Nadeshiko!" Sonomi spoke in a whiney voice.

"You could have just called him Mokoda, you know."

"Yes well... I thought you might have forgotten him…" Sonomi paused for a bit.

What were they talking about again…?

"STOP GOING OFF SUBJECT!" Flames were literally surrounding Sonomi.

"How are you so sure?"

"Eh?"

"How are you so sure that it was Eiichi?"

"Well…my mother's aunt's friend's sister's boyfriend's father's friend is pretty reliable."

"I know his name is Mokoda, you know."

"Oh yea… I forgot… STOP DISTRACTING ME!"

Suddenly Sakura burst in, in a frilly long dress that was dragging on the floor.

"MOMMY! TELL TOMOYO TO LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" Sakura was near tears, signs that a nervous breakdown, AKA tantrum was coming soon. Both Sonomi and Nadeshiko sweat-dropped at the site of the dress.

"Tomoyo, honey, leave Sakura alone." Sonomi scolded. Sakura stuck her tongue out at Tomoyo and they began to chase each other around Sonomi and Nadeshiko.

Both Sonomi and Nadeshiko sighed.

What perfect little angels.
