Mr. Kinimoto walked back to his room speechless. As he opened the door, he noticed Fongling standing beside the window crying.
"Fongling, dear, what's wrong?" Mr. Kinimoto asked.
"I didn't know Sakura hated me and my daughters. I thought she would accept my daughters and me as a part of the family, I'm really shocked" Fongling continued to cry.
"Sakura was only kidding, don't take it so serious"
"I told you that friend of Sakura's was a bad influence"
"Okay, I won't let Sakura see her ever again okay?"
"Of course, of course, don't cry"
Then Fongling stared into her husbands eyes and he dropped to the carpet fast asleep.
"Sakura, don't cry, you were just angry, your father won't blame you for the things you said. Just say you didn't mean them" Tomoyo assured.
"I meant the things I said Tomoyo. Why is my dad so selfish? Since that Fongling moved into our house, my dad has been listening to every word she says" Sakura sulked.
"Maybe he is only acting like that because he's in love with the woman" Tomoyo assured.
"Ugghh. I can't even stand her. The perfume she wears smells like rotten food. And those eyes! Those eyes just doesn't seem right. I know she is hiding something. Every once in a while, I sense something in the house but I don't know if it means anything"
"Sakura, just remember, listen to your instincts, they may be telling you something"
"I will" Sakura whispered.
Around five-o-clock, Sakura returned home. The house was all quiet. There was a note in the kitchen from her father saying that they were at a restaurant eating and that Sakura should eat the leftovers from yesterdays dinner.
Sakura was too lazy to re-cook so she went up to her room to sleep.
It was early in the morning when her father woke her up from her dreamless sleep.
"Sakura, wake up!" whispered Mr. Kinimoto.
Sakura woke up.
"Sakura, I'm going away on a business trip for a month. I have to leave today" Mr. Kinimoto implied with sadness in his voice.
"What? Did you just get the call?" Sakura asked wide awake.
"Yes, late last night. It seems like there was some kind of emergency in Hong Kong I have to go to. While I'm gone, I want you to listen to Fongling okay? You're going back to school tomorrow so don't make any trouble"
"Yes dad. When are you going to be back?"
"I don't know, maybe at the end of the month. I'll try to come back earlier. I have to go now"
Sakura hugged her dad and he left.
From that day on, Fonglings attitude changed completely.
After Mr. Kinimoto left, Sakura got dressed and went down to breakfast. She saw Fongling at the door waving good-bye to her father. Sakura entered the kitchen and opened the fridge. She took out a jug of milk and was pouring it into a cup when Fongling came in.
Fongling stared at Sakura.
"Eating breakfast eh? Well you know what? Everyday, you are only allowed one cup of plain milk for breakfast you hear?" Fongling stated.
Sakura stared at her in confusion.
"What are you talking about?" Sakura asked.
"New rules. I'm in charge here now and every morning, you're to have only one glass of milk. At lunch, you prepare the meal and eat what we leave you. Same goes for dinner" Fongling sneered.
"What the hell did you say?" Sakura asked.
"Just what I said" Then Fongling left.
"This is my house too! You can't tell me what to do or how much I can eat! And from now on, you make your OWN meals!" Sakura shouted back.
Fongling walked back into the kitchen.
"Is that so? For that, extra chores will be added to your day and you are not to sleep until you finish them" Then Fongling left.
Sakura was shocked. Who did that bitch think she was? Ordering her around like some maid or servant.
Sakura took her glass of milk and also a box of strawberries up to her room. Waiting at Sakura's door was Feiling and Meiling. Sakura walked closer but the twins did not move.
"Move, I need to get into my room" Sakura said.
"Mother says you have to do chores and you're only supposed to have one glass of milk and NOTHING else" Feiling said looking at the strawberries.
Feiling walked forward and grabbed the box of strawberries out of Sakura's hands and knocked over the glass of milk in her hands.
"Oops. I guess you have no breakfast today" Meiling sneered.
Sakura was shocked.
You'll have to clean up the mess too" Feiling laughed. "I am so going to tell mother that you tried to sneak extra food up to your room"
Sakura stormed into her room and locked the door. She took out the Star Cards and stared at them. She was so mad. Sakura lied down on her bed and started crying. She did not notice that Fongling had entered her room.
"Now now, don't spend your day crying, get to work!" Fongling yelled.
Sakura looked in surprise. How did Fongling get in? I know I locked the door Sakura thought.
"How did you get in?" Sakura said in astonishment.
Fongling laughed. "Magic. You would never have imagined that little Fongling would have powerful magic did you Sakura?"
"What are you talking about? You have magic? I don't have magic. Do you need to see the doctor Fongling?" Sakura asked innocently despite all her tears.
"Oh, that's a nice suggestion dear, but NO" Fongling smiled. Then she stared at the locked drawer where Sakura kept her Star Cards. Immediately, the drawer opened and the Book of Star Cards flew into Fongling's hands.
Sakura had tried desperately to grab the book before it reached Fongling but she was too late.
"Hahahahaha!" Fongling laughed wildly. She looked at the book with curiousity and tried to open it. The book did not open. Even though there was no lock on the Star Book, it seemed like it was stuck with glue.
Fongling's hand glowed with magic and she tried to open the book again, but it still wouldn't open.
"Why-won't-this-book-open!?" Fongling strained.
The Star book will never open without me!" Sakura answered.
"From now on, your room will be in the attic. This room will now be Meiling's room" Fongling said calmly. "You will leave all this furniture here and take your clothes and possessions up to the attic. There is a bed up there and also, take your covers and pillows too, I don't want my daughters to be exposed to your dirty things" Then Fongling left.
Sakura was about to cry but she held it in until all her things were in the attic. The attic was extremely dusty and Sakura was coughing and sneezing. Sakura went back down to take up anything she had left behind.
Meiling was looking in the room already.
"Hey, what's this?" Meiling said while she bent down to pick something up.
Sakura walked forward and gasped. Meiling was holding two Star Cards!
So! What are the cards Meiling has?! Arrrggg! Writers block. Eeeekk! So tired. Took me sooo long to get this chapter out. ^_^ Also, just wanted to say thanks to everyone who reviewed this fic, and all reviews are greatly appreciated, it keeps me thinking and fingers moving!
