Chapter III

Don't Know Where It Goes, But It's Home To Me And I Walk Alone

She's traveled a long way from home and she's been to so many places that she can't even remember some of them anymore.

I hate this. I hate my life. Being alone, and not having control over my life it's the worst thing that could happen to me. I miss the life I had, you can call me naïve, but haven't you heard, "ignorance is a bliss." I may have been naïve but I was happy, now I know so much and I've lost my childish self, but I'm sad. There is some things in life that's best to be left alone and that was one of them. But how could I leave that alone? At my hands were the knowledge of why they died and the truth. Sure the truth hurts and sure I've had a hard time, but still, for some odd reason, I'm glad that I did what I did. I'm glad that I learned the truth for living in lies is far worse. I've grown a lot since I've left Tomoeda and it seems that I've been to every city in Japan. This city is possibly the only one that I haven't visited.

Sakura was walking home from the grocery store when luckily she overhears a one-sided conversation over the phone.

"How does she look like? Do you think she'll be wearing a wig...? Auburn you say, well, I think I've found her." The man said into his cell phone.

Apparently the wind was in her favor and was blowing towards her direction allowing her to hear every word clearly. Could that be them? Sakura thought franticly. How could they have found me so quickly?

Thankfully after walking around for three hours the guy finally stopped stalking her and she quickly went "home" to pack. Never mind if it's messy, she thought. She left the rent and the set of keys she was given, this was the same procedure she did whenever she left. Then quietly she absconded out of the house and off to somewhere else. This time she decided that she won't stay within Japan, but which country would she go to is a mystery to her.

She bought a ticket for a boat coming at 5 AM in the morning it was the earliest boat they'll have at this time of day. So she sat down on a bench and waited. As she waited, her mind began to wander and came about the topic of, well... "them."

I can't say that I really like "them" or that I hate "them." Because of "them" I have to distance myself from others and live in fear. However my life would be totally different had I not known about "them" and also I would be different. I learned new things, I can take care of myself, and I've been to so many different places. I've grown accustomed to this life I lead.

When the boat came she happily went on, happy for a distraction from her thoughts. Usually when she thinks about "them" she ends up being sad and sadness is aplenty without more. Soon the boat left the harbor and sailed into the horizon.

The boat soon reached its destination, Hong Kong, China. Sakura got off the boat and stepped into the crowded, busy streets.

Hm... who knew that someday I'd go and see China? Well as I was always told, expect the unexpected. It's weird how, with so many people around me, I can still feel alone. In my life I'm still alone.

She stood there, absorbing her new surroundings. Just when she was about to start walking, someone bumped into her.

"Sorry!" they both apologized at the same time, then they moved out of each other's way and started walking off to their own destinations. Little did they know that their paths would soon cross again.
