Police Station (Open to Ino and Ichigo)
Sakura's slender fingers twisted and untwisted a loose strand of yarn around her fingers. She was nervous, shaky almost. Filing the order had taken up her thoughts for most of the day; she'd barely paid attention in class. Luckily some of the classes were so large the professors hardly noticed.
It was quiet. Ichigo hadn't said anything, Ino wasn't talking and Sakura didn't know what to say so she said nothing. They passed another street light in Ino's Mini and Sakura bit her lip, glancing out the window.
This was it; a final step in a way. If everything went as it should, Sakura would never see or hear from her father again. She wasn't so naive, however, to believe it would go without a hitch. Her father would be angry. Very much so.
That thought made her stomach clench and she took a breath, forcing herself to relax. She'd already promised Ichigo that if her father contacted her at all after the order was put in, she would call 911. He'd been insistent on that point; it surprised her a little. Why, she wasn't quite sure. She knew he cared, even if he didn't always want to show it.
The drab scenery flashed past and Sakura leaned her head on the window, half closing her eyes, just waiting to get to the station.
