Ch 2
" 'Sakura… COME QUICK!' What is wrong? 'Father!' 'Sakura it's…' 'NO! THIS CAN'T BE! WHY!' 'SAKURA!' 'SAKURA! WAKE UP!' "
"What!" She just noticed that it was only a dream, a very sad dream; she had relived her mother's death. "Sakura!" The voice broke her train of thought. As her eyes came into focus she realized the stuffed animal was speaking to her. "What?" Kero looked at her then the clock and said "LOOK AT THE TIME! You are going to be late for school, you have to get there early to get your admit!" At these words, Sakura jumped and literally ran to the bathroom. The sound of the showerhead being opened was Kero's cue to go back to sleep.
Later…
'Sigh First period… so boring. Eww! The kid in front of me HAS to be picking his nose. I'm going to puke! This is going to be my worst year ever, I could feel it.'
"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 'The bell, great. Ugh. Why don't I have home school??!! NOTE TO SELF: Convince father to enroll you in home school.' Sakura quickly rose from her seat and was headed to her locker. She grabbed her other books and walked to her next class, when one of the office administrators stopped her short, she was clearly in a hurry."Hello Sakura, um, your father is in the office, you're going home" Then she walked away quickly without looking back. 'That was fast.'
"Hi Dad, what's this for?" Fujitaka signaled his daughter to sit with him. "Look Sakura, I was wondering…" 'Please take me to home school! I BEG You!' "I know this is sudden, but Touya and I have agreed to take a step, for the family, and it is decided that we are moving." 'WHAT!'
Sakura stood up and said,"Why? Where? How will this benefit the family! Also, since WHEN do you and onii-chan make decisions without me! I am part of this family too aren't I?"
"Sakura calm down." Sakura was now seated in her chair like she was in her room after being punished. "Okay, so do you want to move?" he said. "It depends if you answer my questions." Sakura was never a child with an attitude and was never known for talking back to her elders. Fujitaka knew this wasn't her, so he let it go and did as she wanted. "I told you it's for the family, I'm sure you don't want to live in this place, to wake up everyday and know this is the same place that we went through all these bad things. Where? Well Tomoeda, they say it's nice there, and yes you are part of this family."
'Anything but here.' "Alright, fine. When do we move?" "We were planning on as asking you." Sakura didn't need to think twice about her next response. "As soon as possible." Then Fujitaka looked at his daughter and said, "Then it settled, tomorrow we leave at night."
NEXT DAY, (AT NIGHT)
Touya, Fujitaka, and Sakura were on their way to the airport. There was an awkward silence on the trip. Then ,Sakura jumped out saying, "Touya, Dad, I'm sorry. I am not acting like myself lately, I wish I could take back everything, even mother's death, but I can't. Do you forgive me?" Touya and Fujitaka looked back and Fujitaka said, "Yes, of course we forgive you, now try to rest, there's a lot to do tomorrow and you need the sleep." Sakura smiled, something she hadn't done in ages, well it felt like it at least to her. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep but couldn't help feeling, nervous, sad and happy, a strange mix of emotions.
"Sakura wake up, we're here." She looked around and saw that she was sleeping next to Father in the plane. "How did I get here? Wasn't I asleep in the car?" "Yes but I carried you here, you looked so happy." Sakura grinned and flipped her hair to one shoulder leaving the other for her luggage. She was looking up when she bumped into a stranger. "Oh, sorry, my mistake." Sakura glared at the young man. He had messy chestnut hair, and large amber eyes, defined cheekbones, with a great smile. "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Syaoran Li, I'm coming here from Hong Kong, and you?" Sakura only looked at the crowd and back to him and said, "I have to go," and walked to find her father and brother, only to see that she was lost.
'This is great I'm lost!' She was feeling light-headed with all the people surrounding her. She noticed there were two plants that looked exactly alike and two of her suitcases. Suddenly, Sakura collapsed on the floor.
Syaoran started to think:
I hope she's alright. He couldn't help but look at her face. 'She is so beautiful. Yet, she doesn't even wear make-up like other girls I know who try desperately. Her hair looks like the soft gold silk that they use for the kimonos back in China. And her eyes, I remember how intense they looked almost as if they were made out of crystal. Although I noticed how full of sadness they were, I ponder this, maybe that is why she was so cold. I hope she doesn't have anything against me…
Oh… she's waking up!'
'Where am I? What am I doing with him?' She stood up straight and felt a bruise on her leg. She winced at the pain. Then, she remembered she was laying on that Li kid's arms. "What do you think you are doing?" Syaoran realized this was not going to end up like he thought. "See, you-" He was cut by the girls words, "Look, I appreciate your help, but I think I can handle myself, I am 16 you know!" Syaoran blurted out, "At least let me help you find your home. What are your parents' names?" Sakura looked at him; he had no idea of what he had done. She sat on the couch and rested her elbows on her knees and tugged on her hair. Whatever caused this, there was no stopping it. Tears were falling down her cheeks and she quickly wiped them away. She couldn't help it. She wanted her mother so bad. She wanted her mother to be there telling her "everything will be ok", but her absence is what caused her crying and this time she wouldn't be there to stop it.
Syaoran couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, but he didn't know what he did to cause this. "I'm so sorry" He looked at her. She lifted her face and looked at him straight in the eye. He couldn't help but notice how perfect she was, yet she had the saddest look which you couldn't help but feel sorry for. What could he do at a time like this? She simply said, "It's not your fault. I have to get going, my father must be worried sick." She stood up only to see that her new acquaintance had took her hand and said, "Let me take you", and grabbed his keys. She blushed and agreed.
After calling her father's cell phone, they managed to find them. "Thank you for your kindness, I will see you around." said Sakura and smiled. "BYE!" Syaoran said. She waved him goodbye, then opened the door and stepped in. Sakura hugged her dad and brother she was glad to see them. "Hi!" "Hello, I've missed you so much!" "That is you room up there" Touya said. She couldn't help but admit she was excited.
Syaoran's POV
'Was it just me, or did she say see you around, and did she smile, was it me? Or did I have something in my face?! Well my rearview mirror says nothing so I guess it was me.
End of Syaoran's POV
NEXT DAY
'Hmmm… Do I have to go school today? HOPE NOT!
"DAD!!!" Fujitaka put down his newspaper and said, "Yeah". "Do I go to school today?" 'Should I do my puppy eyes just in case?' But she was too late, for Fujitaka had already said yes. "WHY?!" Her dad thought wisely what he was going to say. "I know you are not stupid, you know why!" and he started to laugh, being the only one laughing out loud. He stopped all of a sudden and continued reading the newspaper. "Get dressed; I'm taking you to school today."
'Let's see… what should I wear?' She picked out her black sneakers and white Capri's. 'What shirt…' She found a shirt that was black and had a white Nike sign. "This will do" She took a quick shower, brushed her hair, set it in a long braid, and applied some chap stick and was ready to leave. "I'M READY!"
Touya was making breakfast when he saw Sakura and said, "You sure don't look like a kaijuu today!" and snickered. "Thanks… I guess?" said Sakura.
She arrived at her new school it was called "Tomoeda High School" 'I wonder who thought about that… wait, I'm even being sarcastic in my thoughts! Hehehe' She grabbed the end of her braid and twisted the ends of her hair, she always did that when she was nervous. 'I guess bad habits die hard!' She walked to the office and asked the lady for her schedule, informing her she was a new student. "Oh, hold on a second". After a while of waiting, she was given her schedule and went to her 3rd period class. 'Hmm… DRAMA!'
She arrived to room 302 and knocked on the door, still twisting the ends of her hair. "Hello, my name is Sakura Kinomoto, and I'm a new student in your class." The teacher smiled and said, "May I please see your schedule?" She walked to a nearby desk and set her book bag on it and searched in her book bag for her schedule. She whispered to the student, "Hope you don't mind…" and looked up to meet with Syaoran and she smiled. She mouthed, "You are in this school?" "Excuse me Miss Kinomoto, your schedule please?" Sakura turned around quickly and handed her schedule to him. He signed beside his name. "Now sit next to… Tomoyo Daidouji. Tomoyo, raise your hand please!" A Dark Purple Haired girl with purple eyes was smiling with joy. Sakura sat next to her. Tomoyo leaned over and said, "Hi, welcome to Tomoeda High."
After class, Syaoran waited for Sakura at the door. "I didn't know you were coming to this school." Sakura just laughed, and said "Yeah, me neither" 'She looks so happy when she laughs, I'm glad she's feeling better today' thought Syaoran. "What class do you have next?" Sakura stopped looked at the ceiling, and was whispering low to herself, trying to remember, and then she said, "Japanese, and you?" Syaoran was smiling and said, "Same here." As they noticed people were walking to their classes, they started their way to room 510. 'I guess father was right, this is for the best', and smiled at Syaoran, he smiled back as they entered the class.
