"This is Not Enough"
"Sister... Where are you?" A young boy asked, staring at the midnight sky from his spot in a large room. He wrapped himself in a pale blue blanket. His dark black hair fell about his face as he started to cry again. "Now I'm all alone... all alone..." He cried out to nobody, he whimpered and shivered as he clutched the blanket tightly to himself. "I promise I'll find you, I promised ma I'll take care of you." He said to nobody as the stars twinkled in the dark sky, the moon shone upon his tearstained face. "I'm all alone.... please be well sister. We'll meet again..." A cool breeze swept about his room, lifting his dark ebony locks and making goose bumps across his skin.
~//~//~
A little girl with large green eyes and brown short hair played with a small gold heart necklace, which she had received, from a mysterious benefactor. It did not go with her appearance at all. The girl was grimy, with a hand-me-down dress, worn and frayed, and cuts all over her arm.
"Is new ma nice?" She asked, her high shrill voice earnest and apprehensive. The tall woman next to her patted the girl's head. "Yes, they're nice Sakura. They think you are a kawaii girl." Sakura flushed with pleasure, her eyes were hopeful. "Will they be my forever family?" She asked hopefully. "Yes, I think." The woman said uncertainly. "They sounded sincere over the phone." Sakura smiled. "Good." The girl touched the gold necklace about her throat, the only finery she had. "Lila...?" The girl tugged the tall woman's arm. Lila looked at Sakura, "Yes dear?" "Did I ever have a real real family before?" Sakura asked. "Everyone did." Lila said comfortingly. Sakura blinked her large eyes twice as she looked at the floor, tears forming in her eyes. "Why did they hate me?" She asked, her voice cracking. Lila sat there uncomfortably. "Well... I..." She started, but she stopped, knowing it was no use in hiding the inevitable. She listened to Sakura's sniffling. "Shh... Its ok." Lila said quietly, rubbing Sakura's back in soothing semi-circles. "I-i-i'm not crying." Sakura said. A wet drop of a tear gave her away as it landed with a plop of the dusty floor. "I...I hope my new family won't hate me too." Sakura said, her voice slightly optimistic, and her voice a bit cheerier. The volunteer at the orphanage next to her smiled sadly. "They can't hate you, nobody can hate you." Lila said honestly. Sakura's grimy face broke into a beautiful smile. "Thank you." She said, rubbing her eyes frantically.
A tall regal rich woman frowned as her only son squirmed about his seat impatiently.
"I don't want a sister." He shouted, his face red with anger and rage. "Stop this nonsense Syaoran!" Her mother exploded, rubbing her temples as her son threw a tantrum next to her. "I DON'T WANT A SISTER!" He screamed, making the mother want to choke her son to death. But eventually, he quieted down, worn out from the traveling and yelling. The stewardess stood next to the rich family with an embarrassed look on her face. "Yes Mrs. Li?" She asked, nervously eyeing the little boy who was glaring at her from the corner of his eyes.
'If looks can kill, his can.'
The stewardess thought nervously, tucking a curly blonde lock behind her ear. "I would like an aspirin please." Mrs. Li said tiredly. The stewardess nodded and bowed, leaving the seats in a hurry.
Mrs. Li's whole name was Yelan Li. She was the richest woman in Hong Kong. After her husband had died, and left only her and Syaoran in the world by themselves, Yelan had grown lonely. She loved Syaoran dearly, but when she watched a little girl go by, trailing their mother, she would yearn for another child, which was impossible. She married the most powerful clan leader in Hong Kong, and made a vow never to remarry, so having another child was impossible. After many days of longing for a daughter, she saw an ad from a faraway orphanage and caught sight of the most adorable little girl she had ever seen on the brochure. Green eyes met hers as she stared at the photo, and she had fallen in love with the child ever since she laid eyes on the picture. Unable to contain herself, she pleaded with the elders to adopt a child, and somehow, amazingly, she had gotten their consent. Now she was going to get "her child." The adorable innocent child that was on the brochure in Japan. It would be nice to have a girl for a change. She loved taking care of Syaoran, but his selfishness and demand for attention irked her. Being the only male heir to the Li leadership, he was pampered and spoiled to death. She smiled as she watched Hong Kong disappear.
"Sakura, this is your new mother."
Sakura looked up, wide-eyed at the regal and beautiful woman in front of her. "K-k-konnichiwa!" She said, stuttering a bit as she stared at the magnificent woman before her. Maybe she wasn't good enough for the woman? Sakura felt frightened all of a sudden, but the woman smiled at her warmly. "Hello Sakura Kinomoto." She said in a Japanese's, it was slightly accented with a Chinese accent. The woman brought out something from her large tote bag. Sakura blinked as the woman handed her a small blue bear with a mirror stitched onto its stomach. "A gift."
Sakura, for the first time in a long time, saw her reflection. There were no mirrors in the orphanage she was at, and looking at herself, Sakura suddenly felt hot tears springing from her eyes. This was really her new mother.
Yelan was startled as she saw wet droplets pf tears fall from the girl's eyes, sliding on the mirror on the teddy bears tummy. "Is something the matter?" She asked anxiously. The tall woman holding Sakura's hand smiled a bit sadly. "No, she's fine, I think she is happy." Yelan smiled as she crouched down to look at the small girl. "What's your name?" The girl looked up, her eyes sparkling with hope and happiness...and more. "Sakura Avalon." Yelan winced, Avalon was an automatic last name for the orphanage children, for their parents were unknown... and the name of the orphanage itself was "Avalon." "And how old are you?" Sakura looked a bit perplexed. Yelan felt a shiver of fear, had she said something wrong? But Sakura smiled uncertainly. "I think I'm 6." The woman holding Sakura's hand frowned. "Oh. She doesn't know her true birth date so we aren't sure." She explained. A deep pang of pity coursed through Yelan. "Ah, Sakura..." She brought out her arms, gathering the filthy little girl in her arms. "Your a Li now, your my daughter... your my child." Yelan felt wet tears soak through her black business suit, but she didn't care... She finally had a daughter.
They boarded the plane back to Hong Kong. Sakura looked about her wildly, terrified of the strange flying white objects and the loud sound. "Shush Sakura." Yelan said gently, "It is only airplanes." "Aheerplnes?" Sakura asked, puzzled. "Airplanes." Yelan repeated, pointing out the flying machines. "Airplanes." Sakura repeated, sounding the words out slowly and precisely. "Not bad." Yelan commented, giving Sakura a smile. They stopped in a lobby. "You will meet your brother, he was staying at his uncles place." Yelan said in Japanese, making Sakura clap her hands in excitement. "Brother!" She said, delighted with the idea. Sakura blinked and stared as two brown eyes met hers. She was face to face with a glaring little boy with messy chocolate brown hair and amber eyes. He said something in Chinese, making Yelan look at her son sharply. "Sakura." She said. She was trying her best to ignore her rude son who had come in with a tall balding man. "Your brothers name is Syaoran." Sakura blinked, "Show run?" "No, Syaoran." Yelan said patiently. "Shoryan?" That's when the amber eyed boy exploded.
"Syaoran... you... ninny!" He exploded, his face red as he let out a burst of broken Japanese. Sakura felt her eyes tear up and she hung her head. Maybe they had started to hate her already. Yelan put a comforting hand on Sakura's back. "Don't worry." She said in Japanese. "He takes some getting used to."
Throughout the whole ride, Syaoran glared at the girl sitting on the other side of his mom. "Mommy, that girl is stupid." He said in Chinese. Yelan gave him a sharp look. "She's Japanese, and she is your sister, she isn't that girl, she's Sakura." At the sound of her name, Sakura looked up from the Chinese picture book she was looking at. "Hai?" Dressed in a little girl sailor dress with a straw hat, Sakura looked quite cute and fetching. She was cleanly washed and Yelan was pleased to see how pretty Sakura looked. Sakura swung her small legs about her chair. "Nani?" Sakura asked again, her eyes confused. "Its nothing." Yelan said gently as she turned to her son. "Now Syaoran, be nice. She is your sister, got that? She is living with us, and she will be treated right." Syaoran turned red with rage as he started to fume. 'How come Sakura gets all the attention?!' He bawled to himself as he curled up in a small ball, and hatefully glared at Sakura one more time as he curled up to go to sleep.
Syaoran was now ten, he was the same age as Sakura, and he still hated her guts. Ever since she had came into the house, everyone was pampering her, crooning and exclaiming at how cute she was when she pronounced some new Chinese word that she learned correctly, she fitted in well at school, and was pretty popular. She was very bright, and was always competing with him. But unlike him, she maintained a sense of humility and humbleness, which Syaoran could never have.
"Ma ma!" Sakura ran in, her short brown hair swinging on her back, her green eyes sparkling. Yelan looked up and smiled as Sakura ran up to her. "Look, I got into the national track at school!" She said happily. "My my, that's nice!" Yelan said, hugging Sakura. Yelan was proud of her adopted daughter, but worried slightly over her son, who was consumed with jealousy. He was always competing and lashing out at Sakura and other people. The door slammed from somewhere in their large mansion. "Oh, Syaoran is here." Sakura said. Her voice slightly trembled as she hurried to her room. Yelan frowned, of course Sakura was scared of Syaoran, he seemed to have a strange harsh aura that tended to scare people around him easily. Her son came in, his hair mussed and his eyes glittering angrily. "Where is that stupid girl!" He shouted. Yelan winced. Syaoran had a terrible temper.
"So your math exam hasn't gone very well?" Yelan asked quietly. Syaoran faced his mother, his child-like face contorted in rage. "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" He bursted. "How can an adopted abandoned girl like HER ever beat me in a stupid examination?!" Yelan was shocked. "Syaoran!" She rebuked, but he ignored her. "Fine mother, take her side." Syaoran said bitterly as he left the room and went to his room down the hall, slamming the door shut with a bang. Yelan rubbed her temple. 'Such a temper.' She thought wearily. 'It will be his downfall.'
Sakura felt tears come to her eyes as she heard what Syaoran had said out in the hallway. Her brother was always so mean. She sniffled, curling up in her princess bed. She muffled her cried in her pillow, not wanting Yelan to worry. It hurt. Syaoran never let her forget that she was adopted and abandoned. She didn't dislike Syaoran at all, she knew he had his nice moments, but this was too much. Why did her brother have to be so competitive? She had a feeling he never liked her since the day she walked in. She clasped the blue teddy bear in her arms, it was old and worn, but it brought good memories, she smiled when she remembered her first time in her room. She was so astonished, she had never had anything so fine before, and everything was always used. Sakura never forgot her days at the orphanage, although it was all a blur to her, she remembered the pain of loneliness and isolation. She never tried to let the money get to her head. She was rich, but always gave when she saw someone worse off then her. Sakura sighed, her eyes misty as she swung herself off her bed, wiping away her wet tears. She opened the door; she wouldn't let her brother get to her.
---- 8 years later---
Syaoran was going to collage, some far place away from home. Sakura felt a sense of sadness, although she didn't really like him, she knew Yelan was having a hard time watching her grown son leave. The stood at the airport, Sakura dressed in a fashionable black dress. "Good bye son." Yelan said. Her son stiffly gave his mother a hug. "Good bye mother." He turned to Sakura, his glare was like ice, and Sakura felt anger make her face flushed. "Good bye Syaoran." She said. "Good riddance." He said coldly, not bothering to shake her hand or to hug her. He turned and waved to his family. "I'll make you proud mom." He said, giving Sakura a challenging look. "I'll out do all others!" Yelan started to cry, proud of her son as she waved. "Goodbye." She called tearfully, watching her son disappear towards the unknown.
Sakura sighed; Syaoran had been cruel to her ever since she had come, and ever since he had left. She was a bit disappointed, she was always envious of the brother sister relationship the people around her had. She walked slowly, thinking about him a bit more as she got into her flashy BMW. He had treated her like an inferior, making mean jokes about her and pushing her around in high school. Although all that pained her, she sensed a rather bitter shield barricading her from getting closer to him. She never had gotten past it, and she thought she'd never will. She smiled. 'I guess its good riddance to you also.' She thought, turning on her engine. 'Let see who can do this game of life better, you or me?' She smiled and laughed out loud, she had always out bested him, and she would do that again. Bitterly she looked forward, 'I hope I never see you again.' She thought angrily. 'I tried my best to be kind to you, but you've always been mean to me. Good riddance!'
To Be Continued...
Summary of what is to come:
Sakura is an orphan with no parents; she gets adopted by one of the most wealthy and powerful families in Hong Kong. She meets her brother to be, who hates her with a vengeance. After many embittered days together, he goes off to college in Japan. He returns when he hears the news of his mothers death, only then does Syaoran finally understand Sakura as she starts to understand him. They fall in love, but the elders of Li forbid it. Something in Sakura's past comes looking for her as well, bringing back her lost memories, terrifying truths, and her true origins. But in the end, what life does she choose? The one filled with lies and deceptions... or the one where her true love is forbidden?
