Chapter 4 (Hurts and Caring)

The Next Morning...

As usually, Yuna and Hazakura wake up early in the morning. Yuna are going to wake up Haikawa just as her promised last night. While Hazakura prepared the breakfast for the princess and the old man of course. Even though there are a lot of maids in the house, but still for the breakfast, launch an dinner they have to prepare it themeselves. The old man wake up early then Yuna and Hazakura. Usually he will spend time in the study room, no one know what's he doing in there, not even the maids know.

Yuna : '' Haikawa, time to wake up.''

Haikawa : '' It's still early Yuna, let me sleep for ten more minutes.''

Yuna : '' Oh really. I'm going to Azumi then and wake her up and you will lose to the bet you made last night.

Haikawa : '' Okay I'm up. Thanks Yuna, you really save me today. ''

Yuna : '' Don't forget what you've promised me last night!''

Haikawa : '' I know. I let you know after we come home.''

Yuna : '' Okay bye see you later.''

Haikawa : '' Hmm.'' (Still sleepy).

Yuna : '' And don't you dare to go back to sleep. Understand!!!!''

Haikawa (In her mind) : '' Ergh!! How can she read my mind, so bored how could Suzuya stand with her!!!!''

After Yuna wake all of the princess, she was curious Sakura haven't wake up yet. That's really weird. After she and Hazakura wake up Sakura will be downstairs already at the dinning table. She was about to wake her up when suddenly Hazakura stop her to do so.

Hazakura : '' I'll wake her up. You just go prepared the food in the dinning room. I'll help later.''

Yuna : '' Okay. Just tell me if anything happen. I'm still worried about her wound. Last night we forgot to apply some cream on it.''

Hazakura : '' It's okay. I help her last night before we when to sleep.''

Yuna : '' Thank Goodness. Okay I'll go prepare the food. Hurry wake her up we have to go to the beach later.''

Hazakura went to Sakura's bedroom. When she knock at the door the was no answer, so she took the spare key incase of emergency. As soon as she opened the door she can see Sakura sweating a lot seem like having a nightmare. She closed the door immediately, cause this is not the first time she having a nightmare. Sakura having a nightmare after two years ago, after the old man took her out of the basement, at that time Yuna, Azura, Yume, Suzuya and Hazakura only in the her bedroom. While Azumi and Haikawa studying cause they have a test coming up. At time Sakura were sleeping while the other help cleaning and apply cream at her wounds, after that Sakura start to sweat a lot, like she was after having a shower. They were afraid so stay for a few minutes and than realize that she having a nightmare. They tried to calm her down but it was useless. Later she wake up on her own and crying non-stop. Saying that she saw her parents meeting with her and was comforting her to stay strong and be brave. And that day happened everytime she sleep without light, since that day she afraid of dark places. It's okay if there was a little light, but if there was no light at all, she become trauma, thinking what happened two years ago where the old man tortured in the dark room at the basement. That nightmare was kept secret from Azumi, Haikawa, the maids and the old man. Misaki knew about it cause Hazakura panic at that time and she don't know what to do, so she called Misaki for help. Luckily that method help. Suzuya just woke up when she saw Hazakura closed the door and she understood and return to her bedroom and took some small towel. She knocked the door and gave Hazakura the towel.

Suzuya : '' I'll cover for both of you don't worry.''

Hazakura : '' Thank you.''

Suzuya : '' Is it the same nightmare as before?''

Hazakura : '' Not sure. She haven't seem to react yet but she sweating a lot.''

Sakura : '' Hmmm.....Father.....Mother.....''

Suzuya : '' Go take care of her. I'll go downstairs.''

Hazakura : '' Okay...''

Hazakura hurried to the bathroom, wet the towel and put it on Sakura forehead to cool her down a bit. While waiting she prepare a warm water in the bathtub. She became more worried when Sakura being calling her parents in her dream.

In Sakura's dream.....

Sakura : '' Father... Mother...... NO! NO! COME BACK!!! Where are you??? Don't leave me alone.. please come back to me I need you please... the old man are cruel he never treat me as family and tortured me.. Please don't leave me.....'' (Crying).

Father : '' Sakura, sweaty... even we were gone you have to stay alive be brave and strong.''

Mother : '' You have to take care of the girls now sweaty. Danger will come to you one day. Protect them... promise me sweatheart. Okay?''

Sakura : '' Will you stay with me?''

Mother : '' Sweatheart... we have to go, you still have the girls. They will stay with you no matter what happen in the future... it's time now we have to go....''

Father : '' Remember we will always love you. You are the best daughter we ever had and we never regret it. No matter what happen you girls will always have each other...''

Sakura : '' Father... Mother... NO!! Take me with you. Father!!!! Mother!!!!!!''

Back to reality....

Hazakura : '' You wake up.. go take a shower. I already prepared for you.''

Sakura : '' How long?''

Hazakura : '' Fourteen minutes.. almost fifteen. Come on get ready. Everyone waiting for you downstaires.''

Sakura : '' Thank you.''

Hazakura : '' Save it for later.. you still owe an explanation later.''

Sakura : '' What explanation?''

Hazakura was pissed off, she knock her haed harshly. Sakura would do anything only to run away from explanation. That's her. Always kept it to herself, while the other were worried about her. If not for Hazakura's stubborn mind, no one will help her now.

Hazakura : '' Still what to act dumb infront of me!!!!''

Sakura : '' Okay.. Okay.. I'll explain to you later just get out already.''

Hazakura : '' I though you are an idiot... but still you still have your brain inside your haed..''

Sakura : '' Wanna died.. I can grant it now...''

Hazakura : '' Woooo...Wooo I think I''ll pass. Hahaha. You still looked kinda creapy now.''

Sakura : '' Looks like you really don't appreciate your life right now.''

Hazakura : '' Okay I'm out don't have to be so creapy. Bye see you.''

As soon she get into the bathtub, the fluid in her eyes won't stop flowing out. She kept thinking about the nightmare just now. How many months now since the last time she having a nightmare. Sakura keep crying and crying for five minutes. After having a shower she looked into the mirror. Seeing those scar at her back kinda remind her what happened two years ago.

Sakura : '' Two years.. and this scar almost heal now. But still the scar in my heart, who could heal it? The person I loved? Hmmhh... Only in my dream. Now he see me as an enemy how could he heal it. That old man.. also impossible. He never sees me as a family. This pain only the girls are the one help me with it. Why? Just why? An outsider feels like a family and a family feels like an outsider? Just why. Father... Mother... I miss you both. I really miss you. Why you leave me behind? Why did I have to stay alive? What's the point?''

Azura : '' Sakura. Are you in there? We be going after you had your breakfast and while we will get ready.''

Sakura : '' I''ll be there in a minute.''

Yume : '' Okay. Hazakura, Suzuya and Yuna are downstairs waiting for you.''

Sakura : '' Okay. Thanks by the way...''

Azura and Yume : '' Welcome..''

She can see the three of them having a breakfast while planning for later. Since those troblemakers aren't there, so it was easy, if the troblemakers(Azumi and Haikawa) were there maybe the planning will be scatter out of nowhere. Suzuya called her when she saw Sakura just standing in front of her bedroom daydreaming.

Suzuya : '' Sakura there you are... Come.. Let's have breakfast and also you could help us with the planning. ''

Yuna : '' Same?''

Sakura : '' Hmm...Same.''

Suzuya : '' Okay cut it off before the others hear it.''

*They talking about the dream*

Yuna : '' Here for you. Your favorite sandwich and also your favorite drink, lemon. ''

Hazakura : '' How could you stand to drink lemon first thing in the morning? ''

Sakura : (Pissed off) Yuna..''

Yuna : '' Yes...?''

Sakura : '' Would you forgive me if I kill her right now!!!''

Suzuya : '' I don't mind.''

Hazakura : '' Hey.. let me go now. Just kidding... don't take it seriously.''
