~~ Sakura's P.O.V ~~

Cassie knocked on the door and came in.

I raised a brow, "What's the poin of knocking if you're walking in without my permission."

Cassie laughed, "So funny."

She smiled at Mei Lin and Syaoran, "Did something happen?"

"Nothing of importance." Mei Lin responded quickly.

"Well, I have something to show Sakura. Can you step out of the room for a moment?" Cassie asked.

Syaoran already left the room when cassie came in, so Mei Lin left and closed the door behind her.

" How does it feel here?" She asked.

"Nothing different. Feels the same as every other places."

She looked at me incredulously and I knew why. She wanted me to say it is amazing, refreshing, or it feels nice. Because afterall, I am living in a mansion now. But all I care is a shelter, enough food, and enough clothing to wear. Therefore, however big the place is, does not matter to me.

"Then what do you feel about your friends downstairs. They were really happy to see you, but you didnt say anything to them and just came up."

"I am glad to see them again but they are too noisy." I responded.

She snorted, "Glad? You completely ignored the."

I am getting annoyed by them. First it was that guy name Syaoran, and now Cassie is asking me something insignificant.

"Do you need something from me?" I asked changing the subject.

She pouted, "So mean, you make it seem like whenever I see you, I have an objective."

"Then tell me, do you really have nothing in mind?"

I heard her laugh and I knew I was correct.

"I just have something to show you." She said and started digging through her purse.

She walked to me a lifted something like a paper in front of me. No, not a paper. It was a picture of me in the party! She already forced me to go to the party with her and now she even brought the a picture of me in it!

"What are you going to do with that?" I asked breathing slowly. Very slowly.

It was a picture of me in a dress, standing next to cassie smiling. I looked really happy, like I was enjoying it. And I actually was because it was one of the days I did not have to stay on guard, but I will never admit it. I can never let them see that picture!

"Pictures are memories captured by the camera. And this memory..." She looked at it and started grinning, "...is a rare one. I bet even Wolf will want to see it too."

"NO!" I snapped.!

I reached forward to grab it but she quickly pulled back.

"Don't show it." I growled and saw her smile widened.

I launched myself forward and she ducked. She opened the door and ran out.

"Shit." I cursed.

"CASSIE!" I yelled running after her. I can hear her laughing hysterically downstairs. She is downstairs...

I ran down the hall and pushed off at the top of the stairs. I flipped once in the air and landed at the bottom of the stairs.

"Sakura?" Rika asked, surprised by me.

I went pass him and walked toward Cassie. Everyone was there, even the Wolves.

"Cassie." I whispered in a threatening tone.

She stuck her tongue out. Yup, I am pissed right now. I punched her but she hid behind Kotetsu and he blocked it.

He smiled, "Sakura- san, it is not so bad showing it to other people. There is nothing wrong with it."

I glared at him and Cassie moved behind Wolf.

Naoko giggled lightly, "Wow, Sakura is really mad. I wonder what Cassie did."

"Give me that right now." I growled.

"No." Cassie stated firmly.

Wolf saw that I was about to do something and put his arms out to stop me.

"Okay girls. Be civilized or take this somewhere else." He said calmly, apparently use to it.

"Tell her to give it to me, then nothing will happen." I responded harshly.

"Give what to you?" Wolf wondered.

I immediately changed to a poker face, "Nothing important that you need to worry about."

He chuckled, "If it is nothing important then that means I can know about it right?"

"I said you don't need to worry about it." I repeated.

"Ok ok. Whatever your business is with Cassie, why not settle this with a fight. If Cassie wins she can do whatever she want, but if she looses she needs to give it to Sakura. And since Sakura still needs to fight for a initiation, this can count as one. Right?" Wolf asked Syaoran.

He nodded.

"Hmmm. Cassie is not part of the gang though." Someone said, I glanced at the Wolves.

"It does not matter, the initiation is merely something to test their skills. Either way will count, but of course if necessary we can redo it and let her fight against Mei Lin or Synthia." The guy in glasses with black short hair spoke.

"Then... Wolf looked at Sakura, "What do you think?"

"Just get this over with." I mumbled rudely even though I know I shouldn't be doing it."

"Then it is set." Wolf smiled, "We'll have the match in the evening at the gymnasium."

"And Sakura come here." He added when I was just about to walk away.

"Let me introduce you to my family." He said all their names and all I did was nodded while remembering them.

"Her behavior and attitude is like Syaoran's." Fuji chuckled.

"We have to worry about two people now." Nakuru giggled along with him.

"We always knew you and Syaoran was somewhat alike. But who would've knew you guys were that similar." Ryu grinned and continued, "The past is almost the same too. You know about your parents..." His words trailed off when he noticed he have spoken a taboo subject.

Wolf coughed to break the silence.

Syaoran and I glanced at each other and quickly looked away.

The atmosphere was nice a minute ago and now it feels very gloomy.

"Stupid." Mei Lin mumbled.

"Whaa, I didn't mean to. I'm sorry, it just came out." Ryu apologized to us.

I ignored him and left. I locked the door so no one would come in and laid on the bed.

They must be kidding me. Him similar to me? They don't even know what I've been through to get here. He live a life full of luxury with his mother, sisters, and family while I have nothing and no one. He became like that just because he lost his father, but what about me? I lost everyone I loved. He is lucky that he have his family while I have no one to depend on. And most importantly he did not see his family get slaughtered in front of him.

My hand started shaking from anger when I thought of my family.

"Shit." I cursed, "What are you doing? Control yourself Sakura."

I still need to find more information on Tiger. Now that I'm not living alone, moving around would be much harder. I should think of a way to earn money or find a job. Since I'm no longer working for Wolf, my source of income have stopped, and I don't even know what the Wolves do for a living. Maybe I should go ask Wolf and see what I can do.

I rolled onto my stomach and laid there. I really hate flying on the plane. I can't fall asleep on it and I get exhausted afterward. I should get some rest before fighting with Cassie. She would be hard to take down but not impossible. I know she haven't been practicing for the last few years but still, it is never bad to be careful. After all, she was one of the people who taught me how to fight.

"Uggh." I groaned from the pain. The injury on my arm and neck still haven't recovered yet.

"Stupid stupid Cassie." I said to myself. Why did she even bring the picture with her? Does she love to torment me that much? I wonder if Wolf knows about this and told me to fight Cassie while I'm still hurt so that I would loose. No, I am sure he doesn't know about the picture or else he would be teasing me non-stop like Cassie.

~~ Downstairs ~~

"I think I just got them mad." Ryu cried after Syaoran disappeared.

"You're the idiot that started." Synthia teased her boyfriend and laughed.

"I'm serious! I know Syaoran will forget about it but what about Sakura? I don't want to leave a bad impression on the first day"

Eriol chuckled, "I'm afraid you already have."

"Don't worry." Wolf said, "Didn't you guys say they are very similar? Sakura will forget about it sooner or later."

"Yup Yup. Sakura doesn't care something about first impression as long as you know not to talk about it again in the future.

Kotetsu nodded, "I've only met Sakura last week. I can tell she is not an unreasonable person."

"I still feel really bad." Ryu sighed.

"I just want to see how strong she is since Chiharu keeps praising her." Yamazaki said.

"Me too! I'm really excited to see the fight since there haven't been one in a long time." Nakuru exclaimed.

Wolf raised a brow, "Don't you see Eriol and Syaoran fight every week?"

"Yes but they're only practicing! I want to see a real match!" Jamie answered.

"When was the last time you saw a match?" Cassie wondered.

"The last one was the initiation for Yue and Aki." Nakuru responded.

"It ended pretty fast and I lost." Aki laughed embarrassingly while scratching his head.

Naoko hugged his arm, "That's because you don't fight."

"Yue and Eriol's match was more interesting." Aki said and pointed at them.

"I'll take that as as a compliment but don't point at us. That is rude." Yue moved away from the direction he pointed at.

"Jeez, who cares? You know me well enough." Aki replied.

"We should have recorded the match." Yamazaki said, returning to the main topic.

Tomoyo giggled and whipped out her camcorder, "I recorded my darling's battle!"

All of them looked at her dumbfounded.

"Do you bring your camcorder everywhere? Even when you're in the house?" Rika asked.

Tomoyo responded, "I love recording! When I look back at all the videos, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy."

"Funny girl." Cassie said and laughed.

"Is there any specific place you want to go to since you came to Japan for vacation?" Mei Lin asked.

"Hmmm." Cassie thought for a moment, "I want to go on a massive shopping spree and eat a lot of Japanese food!"

Kotetsu laughed at his finance, "You still have plenty of new clothes at home. You're still going to get more?"

Cassie pouted, "I live for clothes! And I've always wanted a kimono and yukata. I wonder if I'll look good in it.

"You look good in everything." He pulled her in his arms and hugged her.

"Should we let you go to your room?" Wolf intervened.

Cassie grinned, "Yes please!"

The group started departing and Wolf was about to leave when Yelan called out to him."

"Meet me at my office." She said.

He looked at his sister- in- law and sighed, "Ok."

Wolf sat on the chair in front of her desk, "What's up?"

"You never told me she was going to start living her." She said seriously.

"Oh, you mean Sakura." He said as if he have just realized it.

"You know I wouldn't agree to this. That's why you never told me."

He shrugged his shoulders, "You knew I'll do this sooner or later. It is just that someday became today."

"But you know how I feel whenever I see her." She was dejected, "I remember what happened ten years ago. Those memories just keep flooding back."

He sighed, "Even though her families' death is related to us, it is not your fault nor brother's."

She looked away, "I can't help it! Fujikata could have given the info away but he didn't. And instead...all those bodies..."

Wolf slammed his fist on the table, "Fujikata did what he did because he is loyal to brother. He also knows what will happen if THAT was leaked out. Many more innocent people will die if it is in Tiger's possession. That is why he choose death. The least we could do is fulfill brother's dying wish; to make up for Sakura however we can."

"I still don't know how I should react around her."

"Don't worry. She have never asked or mentioned about it when she lived with me. Since it has been that long ago she must have forgotten about it. That just means that we should act normal." He stood up from his chair.

"I've done my best and now it is your turn to take care of her. Instead of running and feign ignorance, why don't you try to face her? She may be hard to understand but she wouldn't do anything that would trouble you. But don't worry, I won't completely push all the responsibilities onto you. I'll tell her to talk to me if she needs anything."

"Thank you." Yelan whispered as Wolf left the room.

He sighed again and leaned against the door. After going through something like that, there is no way anyone would forget about it. She probably didn't ask me anything because she was being considerate and know that I don't want to talk about it. All these years, I was afraid and worrying like Yelan. What if she comes and ask "Why did my father die?" I wouldn't know how to respond and face her. If I did tell her the answer then she would come to hate me and I wouldn't be able to full fill brother's wishes. But most importantly, I do not want this father- daughter relationship to end.
