Sarah walked past her three friends that were sitting at the table of Shigures' house. She didn't even bother to look at them and just calmly walked past. Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo stared at her as she walked past. All three of them were very confused.
Shigure walked in after Sarah slipping off his shoes as he went. He sat down at their small but manigble table. Kyo asked confusingly, "What…happened?"
Shigure sighed, "Nothing really. But Sarah wasn't with me the whole time so I don't know what happened with her and Akito." He paused and then continued, "Sarah is…Hatori's younger sister…" Tohru gasped while Yuki and Kyo both shouted, "WHAT!"
"Yes. Yes. I know. I was shocked too. Sarah is the year of the horse. She use to live at the estate but when she was four…she ran away. Akito erased most of our memories of her. Not all of them, but most. When Sarah ran away, her mother was stricken with depression and killed herself. Then because of this her husband, Sarah's father killed himself as well leaving Hatori alone. But some how after Sarah ran away, Akito found out where she was. This whole time Akito has know where Sarah was living and who she was living with."
Kyo glared down at the table, "She ran away, to get away! This is crap."
"Yes well…Sarah was living with Mrs. And Mr. Hong and their son in Japan for some time but then they moved to the United States. Then some years ago Mr. Hong went missing. And last year Mrs. Hong, her son, and Sarah got into a car crash and Sarah was the only one to survive. She got all the inheritance since the Hong family had adopted her and she moved back here." Shigure sighed sadly.
Yuki asked, "So…why did she come back." Shigure shrugged his shoulders since he didn't know. By the time Shigure had reached the part about Mr. Hong disappearing she was in tears.
Sarah pushed off against the wall. She didn't want to listen any more. She had left the door open a crack so she could hear what they were saying, but she was tired of the story of her life. But Shigure didn't tell it very well because he didn't know it all; he hadn't lived it.
She walked to the end of the hall and opened the window there. She grabbed on to the edge and jumped out. She grabbed onto the side of the house and climbed on to the roof. She sat down and looked up at the sky. Night soon took over the light blue sky. Sarah stared up at the stars.
A memory flashed through her mind of when she was four years old just before she ran away. The night before perhaps but she could not remember.
Her little hand reached up at the sky trying grab a star but she never could. It seemed so close but yet so far away. Late at night she would sneak up to the roof to look at the stars whishing she could be one and travel around the world see all the different people.
"Sarah?"
She broke away from her short ,meaningless memory and turned her attention to the source of the sound. Kyo sat on the edge of the roof looking at her confusingly. He turned to the ground, "Sorry, I didn't know you were up here." Right before he was about to jump off she shouted, "No! Wait…I- Please stay…" He turned around and stared into her eyes. A few seconds later he was sitting next to her looking at stars.
"They sparkle because they have no pain," Sarah said calmly. "They don't sparkle because they have no pain…They sparkle because they are beautiful." Kyo said back. Sarah sighed, "What ever." She turned on her side and slowly fell asleep.
