Having a 'Family' and Thoughts
A/N: Thanks to those who review!
~*~
A few days passed and Sakura was taken to the doctor. The doctor did some tests on Sakura, and confirmed that Sakura indeed had amnesia. The doctor also told the Li family that it would a miracle for Sakura to remember her past, since it seem that she has permanent damage to her brain.
As the doctors continue telling the Li family more medical information about Sakura, Sakura sat in a chair, looking down. For the last few days, she had gotten use to some of the things that happened in Syaoran's home. She felt more open to Mei Lin and Tomoyo than to any other person in the household. The only person that frightens her the most was Syaoran.
When the doctor was finished talking, Yelen asked if he had any files on any one named Sakura, wanting the girl to have a family. She knew that if Sakura didn't have a family, she would take her in, since she had taken a liking to Sakura. Although Sakura couldn't remember anything, she was well-mannered, kind, caring, and sweet. Mei Lin had taken Sakura out to the backyard for a while, a few days back, and a baby bird fell from flying. Yelen saw that Sakura noticed the baby bird and went to help out the bird. Sakura had taken the baby bird into her hands and help the baby bird fly off to its mother. Yelen had to admit that Sakura indeed reminded her of Churippu.
Waiting for the doctor to check on any files that contained the name Sakura, Syaoran told his mother that he was going to get the medicine that the doctor had prescribe for Sakura. On the way to the pharmacy, Syaoran couldn't help but to think that Sakura reminded him so much of Churippu. Syaoran then remembered that Churippu and he had made a promise to meet again at the park, where they first met, in the future. So far, it has been over five years since that promise was made.
When Syaoran finished paying for the medical, the pharmacy told Syaoran that it had to be taken for the rest of Sakura's life, twice a day. Sighing, Syaoran drove back to the doctor's place, where his mother and Sakura were waiting. On the way back to the mansion sized home, Syaoran informed his mother about the medicine. Yelen took a look at Sakura, who was sitting in the backseat, and sighed.
~*~
Days passed, and Yelen taught Sakura some basic reading and writing skills. When Yelen couldn't teach Sakura, Syaoran would. At first, Syaoran didn't want to, but a memory came back in Syaoran's mind. He remembered what Churippu had said and decided to teach Sakura. Figuring that writing would be much easier to teach than reading, Syaoran taught Sakura that.
The first time that Syaoran taught Sakura to write, Syaoran was surprised that Sakura knew how to write some of the letters of the alphabets.
"Okay, to write a small D, all you have to do is to write a small B, but backwards," Syaoran told Sakura, as he guided Sakura to write the lower case of the alphabet.
Sakura slowly did a small circle and a straight line on the right side of the circle. When Sakura was finished, she looked up to Syaoran for approval.
Syaoran nodded his head and began to teach Sakura the other alphabets.
As he was teaching, he didn't realize that his mother was at the door smiling. She had just called the adoption agency to adopt Sakura. Yelen had talked this over with Syaoran and his sisters. His sisters right away told their mother that they wanted a little sister, while Syaoran was a different case. Syaoran only wanted PURE blood of the Li family in his family, not some other blood that he didn't know. Yelen reasoned with Syaoran that he would soon be gone and she would like someone in the house to be with her. Yelen also added that Sakura had no where to go and it would be cruel to kick her out back on the streets.
When Syaoran was finished teaching Sakura for the day, Mei Lin came over to see Sakura. Mei Lin had heard the news that her aunt was going to adopt Sakura and she was happy with the news. Mei Lin had always wished for another cousin that was around her age, aside from Syaoran.
Mei Lin told Sakura the news, since she remembered a conversation that she had with Sakura about families.
~*~Flashback~*~
"I can't imagine what I'll do without a family," Mei Lin said.
Sakura had one of her confused faces once again. Mei Lin noticed and urges Sakura to ask her question.
"Umm...What's a family?" Sakura asked, giving Mei Lin another shock.
"A family? A family is a bunch of people that loves you and take care of you. In a family, there's a mother and a father. Sometimes you can have a brother and or a sister. Sometime you can have more than one!" Mei Lin explained, smiling.
Sakura looked down, although she heard about this a few times, she knew that this was one of the things that she was missing in her life.
Mei Lin noticed that Sakura was looking down once more and inmedianty she felt sorry for Sakura. Not wanting Sakura to feel bad anymore, Mei Lin moved onto another subject. As Mei Lin continued about things, Sakura couldn't help but to ask herself if she had a family and if she did where are they?
~*~End of Flashback~*~
Being careful of what she's about to say, Mei Lin greeted Sakura with a "hello".
"Guess what, Sakura; you're going to have a family!" Mei Lin smiled.
Sakura looked shocked. Sakura had thought that they found her family.
"Aunt Yelen is going to adopt you," Mei Lin explained.
"Umm...What's 'adopt'?" Sakura asked, not sure if this word had to do with having a family.
"Well, adopt is like taking someone, who isn't your family, into your family. The family then will take care of the person like it would to its own family," Mei Lin explained, leaving out the down fall of adoption.
"Then this will be my family?" Sakura asked, clearing any misunderstanding of what Mei Lin had just explained to her.
"Yes, Aunt Yelen will be your new mother as of tomorrow! That would mean that we'll be cousins!" Mei Lin gave Sakura one of her best smiles.
Sakura slowly nodded, slowly taking this all in. Although she wasn't sure if this was something good to happen to her, something in her heart told her that it was.
~*~
The paper for the adoption had just been signed and Sakura was legally a part of the Li family. Syaoran's sisters came over to meet their new little sisters. When the four first set their eyes on Sakura, one word rushed across their minds--Kawaii! Sakura was so frighten by Xiefia, Fanfren, Fuuite, and Fiemie, that she took a step back and broke a expensive ancient vase. When the vase shattered, Sakura had her head down and whispered, "Sorry". Yelen and the others, except for Syaoran, told Sakura that it was alright and that she didn't have to worry about it. Yelen walked Sakura away from the incident, but Sakura eyes kept on looking back at the incident, feeling bad about herself. Trying to take Sakura's mind off of the broken vase, Yelen introduced her daughters to her newly adopted daughter.
"Sakura, these girls are your older sisters. I'm sure that Mei Lin explained to her what a sister is?" Yelen asked.
Sakura nodded her head.
To test Sakura to make her that she knew what a sister is, Yelen asked Sakura to explain what a sister is. "Sakura, can you tell me what a sister is? I want to make sure that you understand,"
Speaking in a small voice, Sakura spoke, "Umm...A s-s-sister is a part of the f-family...Umm...A sister is like a b-b-brother, but is a girl."
"That's correct. Well, this is Xiefia, she's your oldest sister. Fanfren is the second oldest, Fuuite is the third, and Fiemie is the last," Yelen pointed to each one as she said their name.
Yelen let Sakura to be with her new 'sisters', so she would get to know them a bit better and wouldn't be as afraid of them as she was the first time. Yelen got up from the spot that she was sitting in and walked over to Syaoran.
Syaoran was glaring at Sakura for breaking an expensive vase. He didn't know why, but Sakura always get on his nerves and ruining his life. First he had to find out who she was, bring her to the police and doctor, bringing her shopping with Mei Lin and Tomoyo, giving her medication, teaching her how to write, and now she was here 'sister'. He had already sacrificed many things for her already and he was sure that he wasn't going to let her get in his way anymore.
"You should give her a chance, Syaoran," Yelen spoke, dragging Syaoran out of his thoughts.
"I already have. She ruined it herself," Syaoran replied.
Yelen sighed. For a moment she had thought that her son and Sakura would get along with one another, but she was wrong when Sakura accidentally broke a vase, which happens to a gift to Syaoran from Churippu. She would understand why Syaoran would be angry, but she didn't know why he was acting this way towards Sakura. Sighing, Yelen glanced towards Sakura and saw that she was being dressed up by her daughters.
~*~
Several weeks went by and Sakura was getting use to having a family. Syaoran had stopped teaching her how to write since the day that she broke the vase. Fiemie was now teaching her how to read and write, even though she was about to be wed.
"Alright Sakura, lets see if you can write your name," Fiemie guided Sakura through the process of writing her name.
Sakura slowly said her name out, sounding out each letter. Slowly, Sakura began to write down some letters. When Sakura was done a few minutes later, she looked at Fiemie to see if she has done that right.
Fiemie looked at Sakura work and only saw one mistake. Instead of a K, Sakura had written down a C.
"You only made one mistake Sakura, and that's alright. It's a common mistake. Instead of a K, you wrote down a C. Don't worry about it," Fiemie gave Sakura a bright smile, "Now, why don't you try to write your name once again. Remember to write a K instead of a C."
Sakura rewrote her name, correctly this time. When Sakura was done, Sakura had finally learned how to write her name correctly. Feeling proud of herself, Sakura let out a smile.
Syaoran, who was walking by, saw Sakura smile. Sakura smile reminded him so much of Churippu. It almost seem like that Sakura was like Churippu, but wasn't. Walking up to his room, Syaoran flopped on his bed, glancing towards the picture of him and Churippu.
Although Syaoran wanted to ask his mother if she knew where Churippu and her family, he didn't want to admit the fact that he missed her. Syaoran knew that wherever Churippu and her family went, they would always hear his family name, since they own one of the biggest corporations in the world and every girl wanted him for his looks and money. There wasn't a newspaper or magazine without his picture in there. Although this had a downfall; every girl would cut out his picture and stick to their wall and or ceiling, but a good thing would that Churippu wouldn't forget about him.
Syaoran desperately wanted to know where Churippu was and how she was doing. He knew that if the press got news about Churippu, he would be mobbed from girls to reporters asking him about his relationship with a girl.
Deciding that it would be a good time to go to the park, since it was late in the evening and not a lot of people would be at the park and it was a weekday. Grabbing his coat, Syaoran went out to the park. Along the way to the park, Syaoran remembered he would refuse to play in the sandbox, but Churippu changed all of that.
~*~Flashback~*~
"Come on, Syaoran! Let's play in the sandbox!" Churippu urge as she dragged a refusing Syaoran to the sandbox.
"I don't want to!" Syaoran tried to get Churippu to release her hold on him, but it didn't work.
When Churippu finally dragged Syaoran to the sandbox, she tried to get Syaoran to get in the sandbox.
"I don't want to! It's dirty!" Syaoran said as he tried to think up of an excuse to not go in.
"Aww...Come on! It's fun!" Churippu added.
"What's the point? All you do is get your hands dirty and get sand in your shoes!" Syaoran huffed as he walked away.
Churippu frown at this and thought of an idea. "Syaoran, what's wrong? Are you a chicken to play in the sand?"
Syaoran stopped in his tracks. That sentence worked. Syaoran turned around and said, "I'm not a chicken!"
"Well, if you're not a chicken then prove it,"
Syaoran walked back to the sandbox and began to fill a pail full of sand, making a tower when he dumped out the sand of the pail.
Soon Churippu and Syaoran were building a kingdom full of castles. When the two was done, Churippu pointed out to Syaoran that he had fun in the sandbox when he said that it he wouldn't. Syaoran turned red from embarrassment.
~*~End of Flashback~*~
When Syaoran got to the park, it was deserted. No one was there and Syaoran was happy for it. Syaoran walked over to a swing and sat in it. Swinging back and forth, Syaoran knew that he was giving Sakura a hard time for nothing, but she had broken a special vase of meaning to him. Syaoran had vow to himself that he wouldn't forgive anyone that destroyed a important symbolic object or time of his. He didn't care if Sakura didn't know that the vase held a special meaning to him, he wouldn't forgive her.
