Chapter II

The Only One (Road) That I Have Ever Known

/sigh/ After all these years, "they" still are after me. They sent people to kill dad and Touya. Now "they" are after me. Mom died giving birth to me so it was a happy family of three. Then when I was 10, dad was killed. Two years later I lost Touya and was made to live with my aunt and cousin. My aunt loved me dearly and she showered me with attention. My cousin used to be my best friend, but that changed after I lost my family; I changed. I didn't really care for pretty clothing or boys, instead I volunteered at an asylum and when I wasn't there I was practicing karate along with other forms of self-defense. Also she grew to dislike me because I was getting most of the attention. Soon she started to tease me in school, but I never spoke a word about it to auntie Sonomi. Then, about a year later when I was going through my brother's stuff I found it. I couldn't believe that I missed it before, it was a small box, nothing special. What was so special about it and important were the things inside, research and notes that belonged to my dad and brother. It was by reading those I realized the danger I was in and the danger I was putting everyone I loved in. I also learned more about the people who took dad and Touya away from me and why it happened.

It just so happens that my family is really good friends with the Li clan. Dad and their previous leader are best friends but then an enemy clan killed him. Later dad came across some information about that clan; this information would later lead to his death. Then Touya found dad's notes on it and he started learning more about it. Sadly soon after Touya died too and then I had to live with my aunt and cousin. And that is all I know about the matter besides the fact that they're after me now because I also know about it too. But, I'm not giving up without a fight so that's why I've been running away ever since. I don't want people that I love for and care for to get hurt, that's why whenever I move to somewhere new, I don't bother being friendly and making friends. Maybe when they find out about my secret, they might regret being friends with me. Even if they don't, I'll hate to see them get hurt. If I don't get close with anyone, then they won't get hurt, then they won't have to suffer.

How I wish I had a normal life, how I wish that I didn't have to run away from those people and wake up scared every morning of my life until this is over. But when will this be over, will it ever be over? When will I be able to…

"This is the last and final stop." said the guy over the intercom, interrupting her thoughts.

Well, I guess I better get going then. I wonder how long will it take them to find me this time. One month, two months, who knows? Or maybe they'll give up, they'll finally give up and stop trying to catch me. Wishful thinking, I know, but I can't help but want a normal peaceful life.

With that, she got off the train and started off to a new chapter in her life. She'll have to find a school, a place to live (temporarily) and another job. Life holds so many mysteries and we may not find the answers to all of them. We never know what we might find or come across, expect the unexpected.

TBC…

LC: So what do you think? I know that it's longer than my last chapter. YEA! I hope I answered some of your questions on who "they" are. Though remember, this is all the information Sakura knows, things might change or they may stay the same, I don't know yet. O yea, please review! Thanks!
