Sakura slowly opened her eyes, wondering where she was. Hearing the beeping of machines and seeing that she was wired up to them made her figure out she was in the hospital.

"Ah, good, you're awake." A nurse said as she came bustling in, pushing a cart full of gifts, cards and flower arrangements. "Now how are you feeling?"

"Like I got run over with a truck. How am I supposed to feel?" She asked sarcastically.

"The fact that you are able to feel anything is the important thing. A doctor will be in to see you shortly." After the nurse left, Mrs. Chibi, the head of the orphanage and another woman came in.

"Sakura, it's good to see that you are awake. How are you feeling?" Mrs. Chiba asked.

"I'm a little sore, but more importantly, I'm sick of people asking me how I'm feeling. Do you know how redundant and repetitive that gets?'

"Well it's good to see that you are all right. You gave us quite a scare. This is Ms. Jones, she's from child services, and she has a proposal for you."

"Well Ms. Sato, we've had a request from a couple to adopt you. How do you feel about that?"

"Really? You aren't kidding me?"

"No I'm not kidding you, in fact they are down in the waiting room, and they really want to meet you. Their names are Yuuske and Kayko Urameshi. So feel like meeting them?"

"Yes, I defiantly am up to meeting them."

"Hold on one minute, let me go get them." She said as she got up to leave.

"Everybody at the orphanage will be glad to see that you are all right. In fact, a few of the older boys threatened that they would find the people who hurt you and give them the beating of their life." Mrs. Chibi said chuckling. "I think you are going to like the Urameshis, I had a chance to meet them and they seem like a nice couple. I also talked to your teachers at school, they gave me the assignments you've missed, and will give you a little time to catch up."

"Oh joy, school." Sakura said dryly. Mrs. Jones came back leading Yuuske and Kayko.

"Sakura, this is Yuuske and Kayko Urameshi. Kayko works as a teacher at Domino High. We'll leave you alone so you can get better acquainted."

"Good, I didn't think they'd leave us alone. Jeeze, looks like they did a number on you." Yuuske said

"Yuuske!! Don't be an idiot." Kayko said as she ground her heel into his foot.

"Ouch! Kayko, I didn't say anything wrong" he complained. Sakura giggled at their antics.

"You didn't tell me you were married Yuuske." She said

"Yea, I'm the only person who stops him from doing something stupid and getting himself killed… again." Kayko said.

"Anyway, reason we're here, after you left, we continued to plan, and because you need training, which would prove difficult to do if you had to sneak out of the orphanage, we figured one of us needed to adopt you. Hiei and Kurama were out; it'd be too hard for them to take care of you, Kurama is in college, and Hiei is so antisocial, it's not even funny. Kuwabara was out, just because he's too stupid to be of any help to you. So that left me and Kayko, and she's wanted a kid for ages." Yuuske said.

"You would be able to finish the year at your current school, and then you'd attend the school I teach at." Kayko explained.

"I am so glad you guys are doing this for me, I've dreamed of having a true family, but I'm way past the adoptable age. This is a dream come true for me." Sakura said, tears of joy springing to her eyes.

"Because it might be a while before someone will be able to see you, I'm going to start you on some basic meditation exercises, which will help you, learn control, and take care of some of that boredom you must have." Yuuske told her.

"I'll walk you through it the first time, and then you can practice whenever you find yourself bored out of your mind. First thing is to close your eyes. Now breathe in and out in counts of four. Concentrate on your breathing and your heartbeat; let those sounds fill your ears. You'll find that you can sense the people moving around, normal people have the same kind of feeling to them, however, spirits, demons, and people with high spirit energy, will have a different type of feeling associated with them. There are two people moving down the hallway right now who have a different feeling to them. Can you sense it?"

"Yea, it's really weird. I think it's my friend Kagome."

"Sakura-chan, are you up?" Kagome called from the doorway.

"Yes, I am finally among the living Kags. Come on in."

"We can see that you want to spend some time alone with your friends, so we'll get in touch." Yuuske said as he and Kayko stood up.

"Bye Yuuske, bye Kayko, it was nice meeting you."

After they left Kagome asked "So who were they?"

"Kags, you will never believe this, but they are going to be my new family!"

"EEEK! No way! I am so happy for you Saku-chan! But you do realize that the guy, Yuuske, is a demon?"

"Yeah, but that's all right. He and his friends are going to train me." Sakura then started to tell what had happened to her in the Spirit World.

"Wow, are you sure you didn't just imagine this?"

"I'm positive, here's the egg that Koenma gave me as proof. By the way, how did you find out so fast that I was awake?"

"Well I stopped by the orphanage to see if you were there, and Chiyo told me everything that happened. I gave her my cell number and told her to give me a call as soon as she found out anything. So when Mrs. Chibi announced that you woke up, Chiyo gave me a call right away." Kagome said.

"Oh, that's how. Here comes Mrs. Chibi, I bet she's going to shoo you out so I can get my rest."

"And how could you tell Sakura?" Mrs. Chibi asked as she came into the room.

"Your face gave it away; you get this certain look on your face whenever it's time for someone to leave."

"Well you guessed right, Kagome, it's time for you to leave."

"Okay Mrs. Chibi, bye Sakura, hope you feel better soon." Kagome waved as she left.

"Now before I leave, what did you think of the Uramshis?" Mrs. Chibi asked Sakura.

"I think they are the ones. I can't wait to have a family of my own." She replied

"Good, I am really truly happy for you. I talked to the doctors, and you can be released the day after tomorrow, they just want to keep you here a few more nights to make sure everything is all right."

"Alright Chibi-chan." Sakura mumbled sleepily as she started to nod off.
