Summary: Sakura is an orphan, living by herself. Next to the Li's mansion. The owner of the mansion doesn't want anybody to find Sakura so she hides her from the world. In till on day he finds her…
Recap
It wasn't even a word book. It was a blank book. It wasn't a diary, it was like one of those books you write a story in. So Sakura took out the pink colored pen that came with it and opened the book.
The smell of lilacs washed over the whole room, making Sakura, again, think of her mother.
"Well, let's begin, shall we?" Sakura said to the book.
She cleared off the table and placed the book down. She sat down in the hard-as-wood chair and began to write.
----------------
Sakura smiled as she re-read her work. It seemed like it was like a dream, never did Sakura expect to write and continue to write forever. At least that was it seemed like. It was now 10:30 p.m. and Sakura feared she would not stop writing.
"I guess I better get some sleep. If I don't stop, I might not be able to get up for work tomorrow." Sakura frowned as she remembered she had work the next day.
Sakura slipped on her pajamas and feel instantly a sleep to her Imaginary World.
---------------
Sakura opened her eyes and groaned.
Great, it's time to get up. If I don't then Yelen will be a very scary woman!
So Sakura reluctantly flung the blanket off of her and went to her closet to get her 'maid' outfit. Sakura slipped it on, did her hair in a high ponytail, and put on her black maid shoes.
Sakura checked outside and of course, no one was there. So Sakura began to walk to the mansion. Sakura stopped at the back door and knocked gently. Immediately Yelen opened the door looking rather… angry.
Yelen glared at her and you could tell, she was doing her very best not to scream. "You're late!" Hissed out Yelen. She stepped aside so Sakura could enter. Sakura looked down as she walked inside.
Yelen closed the door and made Sakura look at her. "Have you been near my son?" Asked Yelen in a deadly silent tone. Sakura felt her heart quicken.
What should I do?
Yelen raised her eyebrows. Sakura stared fearfully into her… master's… eyes. Yelen could see the fear reflecting in Sakura's emerald eyes and her own eyes became wide in shock.
"You wretched girl! How dare you speak to my son! How dare you speak- no, lay your ugly eyes on him!" Yelled Yelen. It seemed the whole house shook with fright. Sakura knew what was coming next.
Yelen raised her hand and smacked it to Sakura's cheek. It sounded so real and so painful but to Sakura it was a faint sound and it became numb instantly. Sakura stood in shock as tears she could not feel, fell from her eyes.
"You pitiful girl. You have no right! Go clean the kitchen, living room, and dust everything DOWN STAIRS! No up stairs. You are forbidden to ever see my son again. I will have my spies on you, Kinomoto! Make sure you are done in and hour. I will be back and if you are not done, you will not get paid for the whole week." Yelen walked away.
Sakura bit her lip and fell down to her knees.
"A little girl was taken away from her mother and was taken care of by a woman who knew the mother. She, who took care of the little girl, was nice deep down, but for some reason the little girl was not liked by the woman. Do you know what the little girl's name is? Sakura. Sakura Kinomoto." Sakura could hear her mother's voice telling her the story she is living.
But wait! She said the book was about a girl who goes through hard ships… Maybe my life is somehow related to the girl's life in the story!
Sakura slowly stood up. Sakura looked up to the stairs. There he was. Standing there watching her with big eyes. Sakura could feel her heart quicken its pace. Why did he do this to her? How did he do this to her? It was way too soon to tell if she liked him or not. But then why was he doing this to her?
Syaoran looked at her with wide chocolate colored eyes. Sakura looked back and bit her lip.
Look away! Don't you dare get lost in his eyes, Sakura!
Sakura blinked and flushed lightly. "Good day, sir. How may I help you?" Sakura asked as she smiled at him. Syaoran walked down the stairs and walked right up to Sakura.
"Sakura… Please don't listen to Yelen!" He begged. Sakura could tell he was hurting inside… but about what? Sakura looked into his eyes and then it hit her. He was hurting from the lack of love!
Sakura took hold of Syaoran's hand and smiled. "I won't listen to her. I will be your friend. So please promise me you'll be my friend forever." Sakura said as she felt something slip down her cheeks. Syaoran smiled and nodded as he whipped the stray tears.
"How about I help you, hm?" Syaoran offered with a grin. Sakura nodded and smiled at him.
At once they got to work. Sakura took the living room as Syaoran took the family room. Then they both took the kitchen. As soon as they were done with everything, Syaoran offered something that surprised Sakura.
"Do you want to see upstairs?" As soon as the words left his mouth, Sakura said yes right away. Syaoran laughed as he led her to the stairs. "You see, the reason my mother never let you come up is because I was always up here." Syaoran said as he began up the stairs.
Sakura walked up, hoping- no, praying- Yelen was not having her spies watching her. "Are you in school?" Asked Sakura, hoping she wasn't sounding so nosy. Syaoran nodded. "Yes. I am. Are you?" Sakura nodded no. "I'm not in school. I sort of learned by your mother." Sakura said embarrassingly. "Oh." Syaoran said as he looked away.
They reached the top and Syaoran opened the first door and let Sakura look in. Sakura stacked her head in and saw a dark room with no lighting and dreary looking furniture.
"Oh… How pleasant." Sakura replied with a hm. "Ya, I know. It's so dreary." Syaoran agreed and shut the door. He led her to another door. "This room is mine." Syaoran said with a hint of a blush. Sakura looked inside and admired the room.
The room had the color of green. Sakura looked around some more and noticed EVERYTHING was green. "Wow. You must love the color green." Sakura said as she glanced around. Then her eyes landed on something. Shots.
Sakura looked at Syaoran but he was paying attention to something else. "Sakura, go downstairs!" Syaoran hissed as he shut his door. Sakura looked at him with confusion. "Quick! I think Yelen's home!" Syaoran said as he grabbed Sakura's hand and began to run to the stairs.
As soon as their hands touched, a shock went through them, making Sakura's hand tingle. Syaoran looked back to Sakura and quickly looked away. And as soon as he stepped on the first stair, he let her hand go. Sakura sort of missed the heat of his hand but pushed the thought away.
They both made it downstairs. "Wait- aren't you supposed to be upstairs?" Sakura asked looking back to him. "No. I'm not even supposed to be here. Quick!" Syaoran pushed Sakura to the hallway.
When Sakura looked back, Syaoran was gone.
----------------
Sakura opened her cottage and fell to the floor in pain. Yelen had given her such a blow it surprised her so much she stayed in a daze for ten minutes. Sakura let tears come down. One by one the tears fell down and Sakura shrunk down until her face touched the floor of the cottage. Tears continued to fall for a long time.
----------------
Sakura opened her eyes and she could see the sun coming into the room. Sakura touched her cheek and felt the light sting. Sakura stood up and looked into the bags to see if she had brought and first aid kit. But she seemed to forget about it. Sakura went to her mirror and saw a lightly swollen cheek with a little bit of red.
Sakura picked out a light yellow colored dress and slipped it on. She put on her shoes and grabbed her money. She didn't check this time if someone was there. Who cares if someone is watching me? I… want my mommy!
Tears began to fall again. But she continued to the market. People glanced at her but kept their distance. "Hey girl!" A boy ran up to Sakura. Sakura glanced at the boy and ignored him.
I will not fall for that again.
Sakura continued to walk ignoring the boy. "Please excuse me! But do you know Syaoran?" As soon as he said Syaoran, Sakura looked at him. "Why do you want to know?" Sakura asked.
The boy smirked but then said, "Thanks." And walked away. Sakura felt her heart beat quicken and wished Syaoran was there with her.
I have to be strong! Nothing will stand in my way.
"Excuse me? But your Sakura Kinomoto right? I'm Daidouji Tomoyo." A girl with long wavy black hair, the oddest purple colored eyes, and a beautiful face said with a musical voice. Sakura looked at the girl in shock. Tomoyo smiled at Sakura and said, "I'm a friend of Syaoran. He seems to have a liking to you!" Tomoyo said with a laugh.
"Oh." Was all Sakura could say. "Are you going to the market?" Asked Tomoyo. Sakura nodded but then had a second thought.
Maybe I should go to work… no I won't go near Yelen!
"Are you ok Sakura? Hey is that a Design by Elegant Red Rose?" Tomoyo asked as she looked at the light yellow colored dress. Sakura nodded and Tomoyo's eyes lightened up. "You like my designs?" Asked Tomoyo. Sakura looked at Tomoyo.
"You design outfits?" Asked Sakura with surprise. "Yea. It's what I do." Tomoyo replied casually. Sakura smiled but then felt pain on her cheek.
"I'm sorry but I need to go." Sakura said and began to walk down the street when Tomoyo said, "Did Yelen hurt you?"
How could I say oh yea. Yelen hit me because I looked at Syaoran. And she hit me again for going upstairs WITH Syaoran. How stupid could that get? But that's not right.
Sakura nodded and Tomoyo ran up and took hold of Sakura's hand. "Come on. I'll take you to my house where I can help that wound. Don't worry, you can tryst me." But Sakura didn't have any idea not too. Because all she had to say was "Syaoran will be there." And that made Sakura want to jump for joy.
But even though Sakura is tired, she will have to wait to go to her Imaginary World… or will she go right to it in reality?
