Chapter One: Home
Sakura nervously stared out the window of the cab. What if they don't recognize me? What if they think I've changed?
"Excuse me, Miss. We're here." The cab driver said.
Sakura looked up at him, "Oh, I'm sorry." She pulled some money from her purse and handed it to him. "Thank you, have a nice day." Sakura picked up the suitcase at her feet.
Her eyes wandered to her house as she shut the cab door. Sakura walked to the front door of the house and knocked.
The front door opened. Her father stood there his eyes were glossy and his smile was wide. Sakura hugged her father and squeezed him as tight as she could. "Welcome home." Her father managed to choke out.
"Who's here?" She heard Touya say. She felt another pair of arms wrap around her.
When she pulled away from Touya and her father she smiled. "It's good to be home." Sakura wiped a dangling tear from her eye.
"Well, come on in." Touya grabbed her arms and dragged her inside the house. "Yukito's here."
Yukito smiled when he saw her. "Welcome home Sakura."
A few hours later
Tomoyo hugged Sakura. "So how was college in America?" she asked.
"It was okay. I got pretty homesick at times. I tried to call over here as much as possible. Other than that, it was okay." Sakura smiled.
"We missed each quite a bit, because when I tried to call you, you were never home either. Well anyways," Tomoyo shoved a bag into Sakura's lap. "It's a welcome home present."
Sakura pulled a layer of tissue off the bag. Inside was a framed picture of her, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Eriol. A tear slid down her cheek, "Thanks Tomoyo, you don't know how much this means to me."
"I know it means a lot." Tomoyo said. "Syaoran and Eriol couldn't make it though, they had to work. They said they'd be by later." Tomoyo smiled. "Keep digging."
She dug a little further and her hand touched a silky material. Sakura pulled it out of the bag and held it up to herself in the mirror. It was an emerald shaded dress and it had lace towards the bottom it was layered as well. "It's beautiful, can I try it on?"
"Of course you can." Tomoyo answered.
Sakura went into the bathroom and slipped off her clothing and slid into the dress. She walked back into the middle of her room and spun around in a circle. "Turn around again." Sakura did so. "Hey, what's this big bruise on your back?"
"That?" Sakura said pointing to the bruise on her back, hoping that wasn't what she was talking about.
"Yes, that." Tomoyo said firmly.
"I fell." Sakura answered.
Tomoyo still looked suspicious. "Sakura, someone's here, he's coming up." Touya yelled up the stairs.
He's coming up? Wait maybe its Syaoran.
The door to her room opened. Sakura turned around. Andrew?
"Sakura." Andrew wrapped her in a hug.
"Andrew, what are you doing here?" Sakura pulled away from him.
"I want us to go back out." Andrew said looking deep into her eyes.
"You came all the way to Tomoeda just to tell me that?" She whispered turning around a tear sliding down her cheek.
She felt a hand touch her bruise. His lips were quite close to her ear she felt them. "Never again." He whispered.
Sakura inhaled quickly and turned to face him. "Leave," She hissed, "Leave now."
Andrew looked at her and smiled wickedly. He turned towards Tomoyo. "Good day."
