Kremlin Dusk

Hey, I'm back with another fanfic. Hehehe, sorry about the last one. I know some of you are confused or angry at the ending of "Behind the Mask". Enjoy.

Disclaimer: Blah blah blah. I don't own CCS, but the plot is MINE!

Chapter 1 – Meeting Cold Eyes

"What? Th-th-ere not dead! It can't be!" A nine year old girl shook her head, ignoring what she was hearing. "Sakura, dear...I'm afraid it's true...." A young lady told Sakura grimly. "What about mummy's baby? Is-is- he gone too?" Sakura asked trembling, urging her tears not to fall. Nadeshiko, Sakura's mother, was pregnant.

"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!" Sakura screamed, tears dripping off her face. "There here. Cry on auntie Chikari's shoulder." Chikari gestured Sakura to come to her. Chikari is actually Sakura's family lawyer. "I'm so sorry Sakura, I know you'll miss them very much..."

Sakura angrily wiped away her tears and ran upstairs. (SLAM) Sakura slammed the door shut behind her and collapsed on her bed. "Mummy, daddy? Why did you have to go and die? I still need you!! Why!? I hate you for leaving me! I hate you! I hate you! I HATE YOU!!" Sakura screamed to a photo of her parents. (CRASH) She threw it to the ground and smashed the frame. As soon as the frame shattered Sakura ran to it picking up all the glass.

The glass was cutting her, but Sakura didn't care. She just wanted to be with her mummy, daddy and little brother. But now she will never be with them again.

One week later after the funeral

"Oh." Was the only word that came out of the auburn haired, emerald eyed girls' mouth. "So...because mummy and daddy are gone and there is no one else to look after me...I'm going to an or—orphan—age?"

"I'm afraid so Sakura..." Chikari spoke grimly, feeling sorry for the little girl standing in front of her, all dressed in black. "How long will I be there?" Sakura frowned sadly. "I don't know. Until another mummy and daddy decide they want you to be their daughter." Chikari tried to explain, choosing her words carefully. "Can't I live with you?" Sakura enquired expectantly. "Well....I'm not sure..." Chikari replied nervously. "Oh."

"What happens to all their money?" A guest whispered. "I hear they had no will written up...so it goes to the daughter." Another one whispered back. "But she is so young. It's sad that such a young girl should grow up without parents." A woman butted in. "I hear that she doesn't get the inheritance, because the parents were in such debt with the government." A man whispered. "Really?" He nodded back in reply.

At Sacred Sun Orphanage

"I'm sorry Sakura. Auntie Chikari has to go now. Bye bye, I'll miss you." Chikari whispered into Sakura's ear and hugged her tightly. Chikari has been serving the Kinomoto family for three years now and she feels as if Sakura is the little sister that she never had.

"Welcome Miss Kinomoto. My name is Megumi Minosaki. I'll be looking after you and showing you around for the next couple of days until you settle in." Megumi smiled warmly at Sakura's lithe form. Sakura only smiled back weakly. Why would she even try to smile a real smile? Her parents just died, for crying out loud!

"This is where you'll be sleeping; this is where you'll be eating. Those people over there will be teaching you. You must ready by 8 'o' clock in the morning and go to sleep at 9 30....." Megumi directed Sakura and continued to drone on about information.

Sakura's eyes wandered around the large room in where she will be sleeping and her eyes landed on someone hiding behind the curtains. You could see their small, shoeless feet sticking out. "May I please be excused now?" Sakura asked ever so sweetly. "Yes. That's all you need to know for now." Megumi smiled brightly and left.

"Excuse me? What are you doing hiding here?" Sakura asked curiously, slowly pulling the curtain open. "Oh drat, Tomoyo you found me already." The girl behind the curtain cursed. She had long black hair in a pony tail and bright golden coloured eyes. "Huh? You're not Tomoyo." The girl stared at Sakura. "I just got here. My name's Sakura Kinomoto." Sakura smiled reluctantly. "Oh cool! A new friend to play with! My name is Jennifer Kimi."

"Oh and this is my friend Tomoyo Daidouji." Jennifer pulled the clueless Tomoyo over. "Oh hi there! Nice to meet you! Your eyes are so kawaii!" Tomoyo whizzed around Sakura, taking in every little detail. "She is always this crazy." Jennifer explained coolly knocking Tomoyo's head. "Ow."

Sakura giggled a little at their silliness as they began to argue. "Hey who is that boy over there?" Sakura asked inquisitively. "Oh him?" Tomoyo asked pointing to a little boy sitting in the shadows. "Uhuh." "That's Syaoran Li. He's been a total meanie ever since he got here. It's been like a year since he came here and he's been so mean!" Jennifer whined, pouting.

Sakura slowly walked over to where Syaoran was. Slowly AND cautiously. "Don't come any closer." Syaoran's voice ordered coldly. Sakura thought he was rude and shouldn't talk to people like that. Syaoran had messy brown hair and piercing amber eyes.

"My name's Sakura Kinomoto, and I'm going to change a little meanie like you." Sakura exclaimed sticking out her tongue. "Whatever you stupid little girl." Syaoran retorted coldly, glaring at her. (GASP). "Grrrr! I'll show you Li!" Sakura screamed frustrated and stormed off.

"Stupid little girl." Syaoran snorted and continued to bathe in loneliness and misery.

"Just you wait Li. I'm going to show you what a stupid little girl can do!" Sakura muttered to herself, earning strange looks from Tomoyo and Jennifer.
