chapter 6:

-- xxxxxxxxxxx --

Sakura slowly walked up to the house, which Kane had indicated to be his. It was a cold night, and she couldn't wait to be inside. She stood on the driveway and took in her surroundings, for safe measure.

The house was the last one on the block, just as he had said. It stood there, dark, and gloomy. It would have been a very nice house, if it had been cared for a little better. The garden had died, a long time ago, from a lack of water. The grass had turned yellow, and the house called for a very urgent paint job. The one awkward thing about this dying area was the very live cherry blossom tree that grew right in the middle of the front yard. It looked out of position indeed, in such a gloomy place, but it brought a sense of ease, that the house had once lost.

Sakura shivered and reached underneath the right flower pot. Grabbing the key, she unlocked the door and headed in. To her surprise, the inside was completely different from the out. Somebody obviously lived here more often then Kane had indicated. There was a very spacious and clean living room which headed right into the kitchen. Not only did it have a built in wall television set, but it also had very comfortable looking black leather couches. By the looks of it, the house looked very homely to Sakura. She was much too tired, and couldn't be bothered to give herself a personal tour of the place. Heading into the kitchen, she put her bag on the counter and took out her meager supply of food. All that was left was a tuna sandwhich, and a bottle of milk.

As Sakura headed to warm her sandwhich in the microwave, she noticed two notes stuck onto the fridge.

One was addressed to someone named Rei, the other, to her surprise was addressed to her.

Rei.

Sorry, I couldn't come down. Had some business with Reaper, if you know what I mean. Everyone is missin' you down here, and are wondering when your planning on visiting. Meiling has been bickering with me 24-7 'cuase she wants to see you. Anywho, listen man, a girl might come over to the house, she MIGHT, im not too sure. Anyway, yea, let her stay for however long she wants. I doubt I'll be coming down there anytime soon. Meiling probably won't let me out of the house anytime soon either. Heh, I guess your right, I really should stop leaving like that ..

I guess, I like it when she gets worried. :D

Anyway, Im out

later

- Kane

Akira,

Sorry, I didn't get your last name.

'Obviously, I wouldn't give my last name, unless I wanted to be tracked.' Sakura thought.

If you're reading this, you're probably at the house right now ..

' What a regular Einstein' she rolled her eyes, as she read on.

Like I said before, I don't usually use this place. It's just here. Anyway, you're welcome to help yourself to anything that you want. A friend of mine lives here, his name is Rei. I'm sure he will introduce himself to you, and hopefully show you around the house. If there is an emergency, meaning its a life or death situation you can reach me at 665 4482, otherwise I'm sure Rei can help you out with everything else.

-Kane

Sakura sighed, grabbing her food she sat on the table to eat. Someone else would be living here, but it didn't really matter, because she would be leaving tomorrow. It's not like she was planning to stay here forever.

'But still' she thought, chewing on her food ' It would have been better if I was alone, who knows how this guy is like .. '

Sakura POV

There's nothing to DO.

Jeez.

I've been sitting here, and playing with this bloody carton for hours now. I should just go and look around, upstairs.

... Nevermind, it's probably pitch black up there, seeing, no one was here when I came in.

-- sigh --

(time lapse)

I smirked, thinking about what my step-father, if he can be called a father, would be doing right now. Heh. Probably, going crazy trying to find me.

'Now what's he going to do?' I thought to myself in spite. 'Who's he going to molest? Who's he going to beat, while in a drunken stupor?

He's probably scared shitless, thinking that I've gone to the police. Hmm, maybe I'll do just that, I have enough evidence to get him filed for molestation, not to mention abuse and murder.'

'Oh dear God, I can't cry now.' I thought as I felt a hot tear roll down my cheek.

'Stupid Sakura, why do you always do this to yourself? STOP THINKING ABOUT THE DAMN PAST!'

Laying my head on the counter, I felt my eye lids become heavy and close ...

Rei's POV

HAHAHA, I can't believe they got beat up by a girl.

HAHAHA. Serves them right, god alone knows how many times I've told them not to mess around with random chicks. Seriously, if they want to get laid so badly, why don't they just go get a prostitute, or better yet, GET MARRIED.

Hmm. O well, whatever. Maybe, this beating put some sense into their empty heads

... or maybe not.

Either way, that girl deserves props.

" Eh? The key's not there." I thought, as I reached into the right flower pot "Hmm, maybe Kane's home? O well, atleast I'm smart enough to make my own copy. I don't know why I bother checking for the key anymore, who knows who has it anymore. I swear it rotates, from bum to bum within this area."

Normal POV

A boy, whose head was encompassed with messy chocolate brown hair, quietly opened the door to the dreary house.

"KAAAAAAAAAAANNEEEE," he called, cheerily "MAN, I didn't know you were going to be coming so soon."

Sakura woke up with a start in the kitchen.

uzi: ok well I had to stop there, have to go to sleep. --sigh-- really sorry.

bye
