Cherry Blossums
-Chapter 2-
:New Beginnings:

Sakura arose from her bed as she came towards the door of the hut, lifting up the flap and walking outside. Her arms lifted into a stretch as she groaned a bit, smiling and looking around the town before her. The sun gleamed down at her as she breathed in the fresh air of the era. She sighed softly but soon stumbled to the side as the youngest hanyou ran out of the hut and passed her, soon yelling, "Gomen Sakura!" as she took off into the town. A soft smile came over her lips as she watched her youngest sister take off. A hand was felt on her shoulder and she turned her head to see her father.

"Papa?" he smirked as she said this and shook his head, "So your first day back in the past. How does it feel?" Sakura blinked then looked forward again, "I like it here…" Inuyasha nodded and then took his hand from her shoulder, soon walking past her, "Go explore a bit if you want. I got to follow your sister." With that he took off after her, leaving Sakura behind. The girl sighed and moved her fingers through her raven hair. She couldn't quite understand what was going on here, but all she could do was follow after the two.

In time she got sidetracked, looking around at the shops there with a smile on her face. It amazed her, all of it. Everything was so advanced in the future, she couldn't quite understand what most of these things were used for here. Soon her hand touched another's and she quickly pulled it back. "Gomenasai" she said as she looked up at a man with monk clothing on and a golden staff that seemed to jingle in his movements. He laughed some at this and waved his hand, "That is alright." He soon blinked and looked at her head, watching as one of Sakura's ears twitched. "Hey…" he said pointing at them but was soon cut off as a girl ran up, "Yukio!"

Sakura and the boy turned, looking at the girl who came up, her hair pulled back into a ponytail, followed by a small cat-like creature with two tails. Sakura's eyes went big at the kitten, "Oh my god! How cute!" she leaned down to look at the kitten as it came up and sniffed her, soon licking her hand. Sakura blinked as a name came to her, "Kirara?" Both the boy and the girl blinked down at her as the kitten mewed happily. They were confused and the girl leaned down, picking up the cat, "Anna? Why are you back already?"

The boy shook his head, "That isn't Anna Sachi…" Sakura stood up and blinked at the two, looking back and forth at them as they blinked. "Sakura!" she turned her head to watch Shippou come up and he frowned some, "See you met your cousins already…" All three of them went wide eyed and sweat dropped, soon yelling, "COUSINS!?" Shippou scratched the back of his head and pulled Sakura close to him, facing her towards the two and patting her head, "Yukio, Sachi. This is Kagome and Inuyasha's first pup, Sakura." Sakura blinked then laughed nervously, waving slightly at the two, "Heheh… Hi."

Both of them looked at each other and then back at her. Yukio bowed and then smiled some, "Nice to meet you Sakura." Sachi shook her head, "Now that I think about it, your eyes are different from Anna's." Sakura's ears twitched, "Is that another of my younger sisters?" she asked, looking at Shippou. He nodded, sighing some, "She is with your aunt Sango and uncle Miroku right now though." Sakura nodded at that, "I sure have a big family…" she said, sighing and scratched her cheek. "Well nice to meet you Sakura… Kirara…" the cat mewed and jumped from the girl's arms onto the ground, soon engulfing in fire and growing bigger. Sakura's eyes went huge at this as the girl hopped onto the cat and looked at her brother, "Yukio, I'm going to go get Mama, Papa, and Anna from the Demon Slayer Village. I'll be back." With a nod from her bother she turned and waved at Shippou and Sakura then took off into the air of Kirara.

Sakura watched in awe then turned to look at Yukio, now holding her hands in his and looking deeply into her eyes. Sakura raised an eyebrow and sweat dropped. "Will you bare my children Sakura?" Her eyes went huge and then she cringed at the sound of a fist connecting with head. She looked down at the now fallen monk and then up at a seething Shippou, "Perverted Monk!" Sakura laughed a bit and shook her head, "I feel like I'm going to fit in here just great."

The sun was setting over the small village. Another day had passed of Sakura meeting more of her family. It was unusual for her at first, but she was getting to know these people slowly, and she thought that that was good enough. Sitting on the roof of the hut, she had looked off in thought. Her green eyes mixed with the hue of the sun and her lips let out a soft sigh. It had been a long day, but most of it was spent with Shippou. Her old best friend had seemed to grown so much, and his actions seemed way different from that when he was a child. He was probably close to 22 years of age now and its showed on him very well. She frowned slightly at the way he had reacted to her today, it left her in slight confusion.

He looked at her so deeply at times, his eyes seemed to always be stuck on her and it made her blush at times. A guy has never put that much attention into her before and she was getting the feeling that Shippou had more then just "friendship feelings for her. She felt horrible at that because she didn't feel the same. In time she'd have to tell him, but she wasn't quite ready. She liked him as a friend and would rather keep it that way. Hey ear twitched as she heard someone crawl up onto the roof. Turning her head she watched as her brother walked up then sat beside her.

"What you doing up here?" Sakura smiled some at Kiga. He was basically the only one of her siblings she could see herself getting the closest to right now. Kiga looked at her, his golden eyes blinking before he poked her head hard and smirked, "Gonna tell me brat?" She pouted then rubbed her head, "You act more like a big brother then a younger." "I do that with everyone…" he said, crossing his arms and looking off. His eyes seemed so bothered and Sakura frowned a little, "You okay?" He blinked and then shrugged, "Feh. What is there to be okay about? Or baka sister is marrying that Kilba." He said growling some as Sakura blinked, "Kilba?"

"Ayame and Koga's first pup…" He growled slightly and shook his head, "He doesn't deserve her…" Sakura frowned slightly. She could tell how much Kiga didn't like the sound of the two being together, but it didn't seem that anyone else had a problem with it except for him. Rivals is what you would call the two. Kiga and Kilba had hated each other for a long time, Sakura wasn't quite sure as to why though. She didn't pry into it of course, she just simply sighed, "You can't be happy for her?" "Not at all," he replied quickly, "That bastard doesn't deserve anyone, especially Nagi." Sakura sighed and shook her head, "Love is love. You can't change it Kiga." He growled slightly, "My ass I can't." Sakura moved her hand and took his. He looked at her and she was looking at him with a frown, "One day, you will understand that yourself baby brother." With that she let go of his hand and stood up, walking away and hopping off the roof, leaving him there as he looked down and sighed.

(Authors Note:)

Sorry for the VERY long wait.
I haven't gotten the time to write and stuff do to school. Since i'm going to college next year i'm putting a lot
of my time to school work, and spending time with my friends.
I'll try my best to write more often, since I really do wish to finish this story.
Not many of my RP friends know anything about Sakura's past, but her present is much more
exciting either way. They're will probably be more then one of these stories.
I can't tell you how the second one will start, because that would give away how this one ends lol.

So lets just keep it at that.
Go to myspace and put this at the end of the url
/sakuraizayoi

That is my RP character Sakura.
Call me a nerd if you wish, but RP is rather fun.
And especially when you can make friends out of it.
Sakura's appearance is different from that of this story, but you'll understand why in time.
