Last Chapter:
"You may be a monster, but you'll always be my little, got that?"
Sakura tried to breath, but she chocked on all the pressure. Everything came crashing on her, crushing her with such a force, that she collapsed beside the cold, lifeless form of Touya.
All is black, All is silent, the pain is numb… Live the Life on the RailsSakura woke to a very strong stingy smell, which brought her into an instant sitting position. She looked around to see a worried Yelan on her left side, holding smelling salt to her nose; and Tomoyo on her right, violet eyes welled up in tears of pain and regret, holding Sakura's hand tightly. Both hugged her when she was sitting up, Tomoyo crying harder.
"Don't ever scare me like that, Sakura! Never again! I can't bare to see you like that!"
Sakura's eyes were closed, her body stiff at first, but became used to the sudden warmth of Tomoyo's and Yelan's hug. After a few minutes, they get off the cold floor, and walked to the doctor's office to thank her and take the copied forms, and some of their intact items. She handed them to Yelan, seeing the pain in all three of their eyes, saying sympathetically,
"I truly am sorry for your loss. Their deaths were nothing of what they deserved. Especially so young…"
Yelan slightly smiled and nodded. The three left the office, put on the glasses and coats again, and walked out the morgue to find that the police were now there. They hurried into the black limo once again, this time heading to their houses. Sakura's was first, and when they got there, there was even more Sakura fans. As they passed into the driveway, 2 large moving vans were already there; the gate closed rather loudly after them with guards behind it to make sure no one was stupid and would try to come in. When they reached the front door, Sakura was reluctant to get out alone, but she did so with grace and dignity that matched Yelan's.
There were many people around so ready to work, and Sakura nodded sadly at each of them. Then, a voice in her kicked her in the head.
'Ying Fa! You must stand strong! To prove yourself to Yelan that you good enough….You have to live on. It's what they wanted!'
Sakura's face became stern (yet still held her kindness), and started to give out the orders of how they were going to pack everything away.
"I want the first 10 on my left to pack up the plates, silver ware, china, and all other kitchen ware. I want them to go in the second van, very front. The first 20 on my right, you are going to pack the living room. The last 20, I want you to go to the dining room. When all of you are done with those tasks, send one person in each group to the family study. Let's finish before anything else happens."
The movers were quick to follow orders, and started to bring in boxes/tissue paper in and out. Sakura walked through them to the study, the door closed. She opened it, the door creaking. The only source of light was the window, the white sheer curtains brought in the outdoor sky. Sakura walked to the side of the window, and saw the front of the house. More reporters seemed to have shown up at the gate, rolling their film of the fans with Sakura's name or picture or signs or t-shirts. Though most were Asian, there was several handfuls of Americans out there aswell.
She sighed and went to work. She looked around, deciding to start with clearing out the desk. Everyone in the family had access to the desk. It's 3 polished oak drawers were shut with an antique locking lock, and Sakura looked at the bookcase and took out an old leather bound book. She opened it to the last page, where a key shape was cut out in the center, and a brass key was still there. She took it out and put the book back, sitting on the big black leather chair. It was awkward, her parents usually the only ones to sit in it, and it was molded into their use. When she was little, she had always sat on their laps in her little overalls and pants. In the slightly tight Chinese dress, she felt different in the familiar chair, foreign. Sakura shook her head to gather her thoughts.
'The voice can't be right! I am still Sakura Kinomoto! I have only changed my name, but in my heart I will always be Sakura K. Nothing can change that. No one can change that.'
She pulled out the bottom drawer first. It had folders labeled 'Payments', 'Taxes', 'Bonds', 'Accounts', 'Insurance', and 'Family'. Sakura put them in a box, and wrote in a sharpie 'Personal'. As she had a job to finish, she allowed no tears to fall. She didn't want anyone to see her cry, not now, not ever. She just couldn't give in. She went to the next drawer up when she emptied the bottom, and in the second she found hundreds of family photos. One of them stood out the most. It had her mother, father, aunt, and Yelan when they were younger, maybe in their late 20's, because a 5-6 yr old Touya was standing in front of their father. All three women were holding a bundle in their arms, Yelan holding a bundle in each arm. In the dim light, it was hard to tell. She decided to look at it later, when she had the matters sorted.
She went on to the next drawer after she was done with the 2nd. As she pulled the handle, it wouldn't budge. She tried again, and it finally opened, but it made her fly into the very back of the chair. She sighed and searched into the drawer, the shadows were oddly darker inside. Something about it drew Sakura, yet warned her instincts to stay away. The darkness was oddly….warming…loving…
She nearly reached into the drawer, but a knock on the study door woke her senses. She asked in surprise,
"Yes?"
"Ma'am, we're all finished with the tasks you gave us."
"All right, come in."
Sakura, who was still sitting in the chair behind the polished desk, with some papers and the lamps still on it. As the three chosen workers came in, the site astounded them. The office was somewhat, antique, with its old chairs, the bookcases all along the walls, the books were dark colors and most looked leather bound. The light from the windows shined its way to the desk, and they saw Sakura sit there, a controlling her emotions, but she could not hold back her beauty. She looked like a queen sitting in her throne, surrounded by books. It took them almost a minute to realize that the sad pretty they saw only 30 minutes ago had turned her look into an emotionless beautiful woman. Her eyebrows raised at their looks, but she went on.
"Fine. I want you all to take a 10-minute break, then 20 of you come in here and pack up this room. I've cleaned up the desk, so don't bother. Put these boxes in the first van, at the very front, and properly hidden. Then the 30 remaining will split up into 3 groups, and they will begin to pack the guest rooms. When your done with that all, then I want you to do the main rooms. And after that is finished, go back to the living room and dining room. Go no, please."
The three workers nodded and turned on their heel, going back to their groups. Sakura sighed as she locked up the drawers and stood.
'I have at least some time…maybe I can sneak out for about 30 minutes to an hour. I just need to get out…. but I need to be careful…'
She slipped up the stairs and skipped quietly up the stairs to her room. As she tip toed in and closed the door, an old feeling came to her. She barely felt it before it went away. She shook her head, and went to her closet.
Sakura needed out, and the only way was to do so stealthily. She put on her black pants that she wore on Halloween with 4 chains, but this time, she wore a black hoodie with the motor fox head symbol in white. She took the chopsticks out of her hair, then took one of her new black baseball caps on backwards (Tomoyo made), put the hood up a little, and put on her own sleek sunglasses (black framed pair). Then she found her wallet, cell phone, and c.d. player (with t.A.T.u), and looked in the mirror, satisfied, but barely.
She looked like a normal gangster/ wanna be punk goth/ motorcyclist/ skate boarder…but definitely like someone not wanting to be seen or heard, someone hiding something.
'Well, I am…so now onto the next step…'
Sakura moved like a shadow, making sure no one could see her. She went to front door, grabbing her skateboard (the one she got yesterday), then raced to the back door.
(A.N. Read the commentary below)
She didn't even notice Tomoyo's board and the bags were missing…
Author commentary:
Hey, hope this was a good enough chapter for you, short yes, but i had to because it was time for bed. Christmas break is almost over, on Tuesday we have to go back to school, actually, so I am typing the next few chapters in a rush.
I know this isn't anything quite a lot of people do, when you grieve, but Sakura and Tomoyo's personality's and person's are based (influenced) by me, and my perspective. Me, when something bad happens, I either cry at first or bottle myself up. And after barely 12-18 hours, I just smile, hide my anger and sorrow, then act like my 'normal' hyper self. I mean, don't we all hide our own true selves? Don't we all hide a terrible secret that your afraid to reveal? That you're afraid that if someone finds out, you could look yourself in the mirror again?
Well, hope u liked this chapter. Later!
Wolf
