One day her father came to get her so that they could live together. Of course I was both happy and upset that day. After Yakumo left my behavior changed. I guess at that point I was tired of disappointment and change. So as a result I became bad. After a couple weeks of my new attitude my foster mother asked if I could be moved to a different house.
"Please take her back I can't take care of her anymore" she told Ai.
"Well why?" Ai asked confused.
"At first she was an excellent child so polite and well mannered but then she started to misbehave" she said pushing me out the door.
"Well all children misbehave eventually" Ai replied.
"No she was the worse, she'd push kids down the stairs, lock them outside at night, dunk their heads in the toilet, take the younger kids food, etc." the woman explained.
"She did?!" Ai asked shocked.
"Sakura why did you do those things?" she turned to me. I didn't respond I just gave her my mean look and walked away.
*Sigh* "Okay I'll go and find her a new home" Ai said walking away.
Sfx: door closes
"Sakura I just don't understand you anymore" Ai said as we drove away.
"I mean that was a good foster home and you were only there for a year"
"Why do you even care?" I finally responded.
"Because I'm supposed to look out for you"
"Tch yea somehow I don't believe you" I replied looking out the window.
This is the way it was for a long time, I only stayed in that home for about a month. And all the other houses were the same; one kid always tried to be my friend or thought they could change me. But, you can't change someone who doesn't want to change is what I always thought. So I continued to move from foster home to foster home until one day.
"Sakura stop running in the house!" my last foster mother yelled.
"Bite me old lady!" I made a face at her and laughed.
Sfx: doorbell
"I'll get it" the woman replied.
"Sakura there's some one here for you!" she yelled.
"You don't have to yell so loud, everyone isn't as deaf and old as you" I replied as I came near her. When I reached the door there was a man standing there.
"Hello Sakura do you remember me?" he said kneeling down.
"Hm, you do look familiar" I replied studying him.
"I'm your father Sakura" he smiled.
"Not possible, my father is in jail for a long time for what he did" I replied stubbornly.
"I got out for good behavior" he replied standing up.
"Hm, if you really are my father then I don't ever want to see you again!" I yelled.
"Why not?" he asked.
"What do you mean why not?! I hate you after what you did!" I yelled.
"But I've changed Sakura" he replied.
"No you're lying!" I said as I stormed off.
*Sigh*
Sfx: crying
(How dare he think he can just come take me back after what he did to me) I think to myself.
Sfx: door creaks
"Sakura-chan" one of the little boys said as he came in. He was the only one I talked to.
Sfx: sniffles
"Sakura-chan what's wrong?" he sat next to me.
"My father is here to get me" I sniffled.
"Well shouldn't you be happy?" he asked.
"You don't understand Riku, I hate him and I can never forgive him for what he did"
"Oh, well don't worry I won't let him take you" he smiled. I looked at him wanting to believe what he said but I couldn't.
"I'm sorry Riku but, I can't believe you, rather I can't trust anyone anymore" I said teary eyed.
"Yes you can Sakura, you can always believe me" Riku insisted.
*Sigh* "Riku even if I did believe you, there's absolutely nothing you can do, my father does what he wants and gets away with it"
"Sakura I'm not –
"STOP IT!" I yelled.
"RIKU YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND SO JUST STOP IT!" I yelled crying.
Riku didn't say anything after that, instead he just got up and walked over to me. He stood there for a second before giving me a big hug. My eyes widened in surprise. He rubbed my head as my mother used to do to me all those years ago.
"Sakura I said I will protect you and if I can't right now, then I will get stronger so that I can" he replied holding me.
Sfx: sniffles
"Riku I'll miss you" I replied.
We just sat there and talked for a really long time. That was the happiest I had been in a long time. When it came time for me to go Riku gave me a hug good-bye and handed me a sheet of paper.
"What's this?" I asked.
"It's the house number so we can stay in touch" he smiled.
"Really, thanks Riku" I smiled back.
"Hm. Riku what's wrong your face is all red?" I replied looking at his face.
"N-nothing Sakura" he looked away. Then out of no where he came up and gave me a kiss.
*Gasp*"Riku what you do that for?" I asked embarrassed.
"It was my way of saying good-bye" he smiled. After that I left, as the car drove away I looked out the back window as I always did when I left a house. But this time someone was outside waving good-bye to me. It was Riku I smiled and waved back.
After that everything changed. My father moved to Tokyo so that we could start anew. I was mad when we moved because the previous city was where my mother was staying in prison and with us moving I could no longer visit her.
"Hey cheer up Sakura you're going to love our new house" my father smiled.
"No I won't because I can't see mother any more" I said looking out the window.
"Sakura didn't I tell you not to mention your mother" he said firmly.
"Yea but I really miss her" I reply.
"Well don't say it anymore" he replied.
"Why do you feel bad for what you did?" I said looking at him.
He didn't say anything; he just looked at me with those same scary eyes I had seen all those years ago. I now knew my life was going to become a living hell.
