Her next days went by quickly and days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into months. She recorded all of her experiences in Hong Kong in a journal and kept all of them.
Sakura rose from chair and walked towards her bed. She knelt onto the floor and pulled out two shoe boxes. Flipping the top open she pulled an old book titled, Journal one.
She flipped through the book once, then opened it at a random page and read what it said.

Dear Journal,
Or should I say diary? I really do prefer the term journal. Well, today was so fun! I went to the mall with my friend Hana! I can't believe Otou-san actually let me go! I think he believes I'm all grown up now and I can take care of myself. Well, Hana and I went shopping. I didn't have a lot of cash on me, so I just bought one outfit.
OH! At school, this guy came up to me and said something about meeting him at the theater, I asked why. But he looked at me like I was stupid. How am I stupid? He's the stupid one. Why did he ask me to go to the theater for? Well, Otou-san is calling me for dinner. Ja Ne!
Love,
Sakura
I rolled my eyes at how stupid and dense I was. Could I have been anymore stupid then? Let me answer my own question, No. I closed the book gently and reached for a more recent one.

Dear Journal,
I'm am SO MAD! Why do people think I'm so DENSE? I AM NOT DENSE! And if I am, I'm SORRY! I can't help it. I, Kinomoto Sakura, swears to not be foolish and dense any longer and to change my childish ways. ...Journal...you ask why I am making this swear? Urgh...because, in school we had an assignment. We had to stand up in front of the class and first we had to praise that person. Then after, we had to say what was not good about them. And EVERYBODY either said I was stupid, childish, or too dense. The denseness is what mostly everybody said...and so from now on I will vow to change my ways and become a more mature person.
Love,
Sakura
I laughed, more of like a proud smirk. I was stupid then, also, but that vow I took changed me. I became a better person. I actually realized how dumb I was, and I'm glad for that. I'm not that stupid, naïve, little girl anymore.
I changed.
I packed up my journals and placed them back under my bed. No one was to ever see these. Only if I was dead or I passed them to my child, or if I was married. It's nothing personal, my journals are my thoughts, feelings and basically my life.
I couldn't just let anybody see them.
I stood up and walked to my desk and sat. I stared at my most recent journal.

College Freshmen, H.K.U
Nothing to write about. A boring day. School is out tomorrow, I have no summer plans. This page will be a blurb of my thoughts...
I stared blankly at the page. I had no thought at the moment, but I just sat there. Calm. I shut my eyes. I found this was the best way for me to relax and gather my thoughts.
Then something came to me. 'In this world, there's sadness so profound you can't even cry' who knows why I thought that, maybe because...I thought of Okaa-San. I liked that quote and quickly scribbled it down inmy journal. Then I closed her eyes again.I thought. Nothing. I stood up, walked to the other side of the room, pressed play on my stereo, and walked back to my desk. As soon as I sat down, the gentle melody began to play. Suka-Retto by Junko Iwao.
I hummed the words to my self. I felt my eyes getting heavy and they soon closed. I rocked side to side with the music. There was something about this song that clamed be so much. I remember a girl in my old high school knew how to play the melody on the piano. My eyes flew open. I smiled. I didn't particularly smile at anything, but I just smiled at myself.
I crossed my arms onto the desk and rested my head on top of my arms and was once again, captured into the trance of the music.
As the song stopped, the last words echoed in my head 'That me from long ago now sleeps inside my heart'. I had a smile on my face, a sad majestic smile. I scribbled those words into my journal and wrote under it, ' My favorite song said something about my life and I never realized it 'til now.' With that, I closed my journal and hid it away.
I was sitting on the couch looking out the window, the sky was turning a red hue. Just then, Tomoyo plopped right next to me and said "So, Sakura-Chan you have afternoon classes on the last day? What do you wanna do to celebrate?"
I smiled, "What do you wanna do Tomoyo-Chan? It's also your last day of school." I shot back at her playfully.
"Um...I don't know. That's why I asked you, Sakura-Chan."
"Well I don't know either. We'll have to ask Meiling."
"Yeah, we will." She replied with a thoughtful smile.
--Readers p.o.v--
A few hours later, Meiling flew the door open to reveal a dot-eyed Sakura and Tomoyo. "Gosh Meiling! You don't need to scare us to death when you try to grace us with your presence!" exclaimed Tomoyo.
"Ah...ha...sorry. I was just so happy! "
"About what?" Sakura questioned.
Meiling grinned, "My auntie, Yelan, said I could spend the summer in the Li estate! She also said I could bring a few friends and you know what that means!"
The two other girls screamed in happiness. Their summer won't be boring after all.
Meiling had told them many things about the Li estate. It was huge. A mansion on an island off the shore of Hokkaido. A private island just for them.
Grinning even larger, Meiling pulled out 3 plane tickets to the island, dated for the day after tomorrow.
Tomoyo started wide-eyed, "The day after tomorrow?"
"Yeah. What's the problem?" she questioned.
"Nothing. It just doesn't leave much time to pack..." she said.
"Well...go get packing now!" she growled playfully
And with that, the three girls went to their rooms, daydreaming about what it would be like, spending time with their best friends.
(I'm just gonna skip school...it's not important)
Three gorgeous girls stood in front of an airport. Sakura was going to walk inside, but Meiling shouted her name and told her to follow her.
Sakura and Tomoyo exchanged confused glances. Meiling led them to a private jet. Sakura stared in awe, but Tomoyo simply smiled. She was used to private jets. After all her mom does own a toy company.
The ride was pleasant. Not like the plane ride to Hong Kong. No violent jerking, just a smooth ride.The ride was quick and the three girls departed from the plane.
Their luggage was to be transported to the main room in the mansion. Meiling led them to the mansion. They had butlers waiting for them. Meiling had told Tomoyo and Sakura to go and pick a room they wanted to stay in. A butler would bring their bags up. Tomoyo, being used to this routine, walked, but not Sakura. She was so eager to see the rooms and dashed up the stairs. She wanted the room with the best view of the nearby beach they spotted it from the plane.
After 3 rooms, she picked the fourth. It was a large room. The room consisted of polished oak flooring, bed posts, and a polished oak vanity sat along the left wall . It was a pink and white theme. A light pink back round . From the top and bottom were delicate designs of curves and waves. Her bed sat on a platform in the center of the room. At the back of the room, were two flowing white curtains. Sakura pulled them back. It revealed a balcony that showed you the entire beach.
It was truly a sight to see.
--Sakura's p.o.v--
I walked out of my bedroom and searched for Tomoyo or Meiling. I walked passes a door. Inside, two voices were heard, a girl and a boy. I stood outside of the door and strained my ears to listen to what they were saying, but it wasn't very hard because they soon started yelling. Soon, I realized Meiling was inside. I couldn't hear exactly what they were saying. It was a muffled sound I was going to knock on the door when abruptly, the door swung open to reveal a guy. He was shocked to see me there. He gave me a strange look, closed the door, then swiftly walked past me.
I re-opened the door to find Meiling. She was pissed. Her eyes flashed dangerously. She turned around, expecting to see that guy, I assumed. Her eyes softened.
"Meiling, what happened?" I asked.
She grunted then said "My bitch of a cousin says I have no right to stay here, he said hegot permission from Auntie Yelan, his mother, to stay here!" she said coarsely.
"Didn't you get persmission?" I asked.
"Yeah! I did! But he wont believe me. Oh well, he can call his mother and get scolded. It's not my fault!"
I laughed at her and she smiled back to me.
"Wanna go to the beach?"
"Yes! We need to get Tomoyo, too!"
Meiling laughed, "Of course."
--Syaorans p.o.v--
"Meiling! YouDO NOThave permission to be here!" I roared.
"OH YES, I DO!" Meiling yelled back to him.
"Well, just see about that when I call my mother," I said. 'Stupid cousin. Why is she even here? To make my life worse? This was suppose to be only me and the guys.'
I swung the door open. 'Stupid door only opens if you pull' but his thoughts were interrupted. A girl stood out side of Meiling's door, in position to knock.
I eyed her, problem one of Meiling's stupid friends. I could careless. I slammed the door as hard as I could without breaking it, just to piss off Meiling. Then I strutted off.
I pulled out my cellular phone and dialed my mother's cell.
(bold is Syaoran. Italic is Yelan)
'Syaoran.'
How did you know it was me?
'I suspected you would call soon enough'
He gave the phone a quizzical look, then realised that is was pointless.
'Mother did you grant Meiling permission to stay at the estate?'
'Yes.'
'Why?'
'Because she deserves to be there as much as you do.'
I didn't want to talk anymore so I hung up on her, not caring, that she would be mad.
'Damn Meiling. This is going to be a long summer...'
