Hi Everyone!
Here's the next chapter-hope you enjoy!
So what's with the lack of Reviews...? Come one, you're killing me!
Syaoran walked into the lounge room to find Sakura crumpled on the floor in a heap, screaming and crying. He rushed to her side, looking over at the screen of the TV to find the familiar words of the escape at Serpents Hill. He turned it off and despite her kicking and screaming, pulled her into his arms.
"No, it can't be true!" She screamed, holding her head in her hands.
"Sakura, you need to calm down!" He said, shaking her shoulders. She looked into his eyes and wrapped her arms around him, falling into a fit of tears. She cried for a long time, cried herself to sleep in his embrace.
Syaoran carefully picked her up and carried her down to their room, placing her in bed before walking out into the kitchen to make dinner. He set some aside for Sakura to have later when she woke up and then sat down to eat. When he finished, he picked up the phone and called his brother's household, greeted by Rena.
"Hello, Rena speaking." She answered in her usual cheerful manner.
"Hello Rena, how are you?" He answered.
"Oh hello! I'm not too bad; I've been chasing my son around the house all afternoon. Such a pain." She sighed.
"What did he do this time?"
"Oh he only drew on the walls." She replied.
"Oh, I see." He laughed.
"What about you, how have you been?" Rena asked softly.
Syaoran sighed heavily.
"Oh dear. What's wrong?" Rena asked.
"Sakura saw the news…" He said softly. He heard Rena let out a sigh.
"Is that so…? What happened?" She asked.
"It wasn't pretty… She was on the floor, holding her head in her hands screaming and crying." He explained.
"Oh… Um…I did a background check on her psychiatrist…" Rena's voice shook a little.
"Were you suspecting something?" He asked.
"I didn't know for certain…but after looking into his history I'm a little worried…" she murmured.
"Why…?" He asked, starting to become even more worried.
"Well…he's been arrested and charged several times with sexual assault and once with the rape of a patient, but one case only ever came out successful…" she answered. Syaoran went rigid. Was this what Sakura couldn't tell him about, why she couldn't return to her psychiatrist? God, if he had known, he would have sent her to someone else!
"Do you think Sakura is being harassed by him?" He almost growled.
"I don't know…the only way to find out would be from her…" she replied.
"Thanks for letting me know. Can I speak with my brother?" He asked.
"Sure, I'll just get him." Rena replied. There was silence for a moment or two, and then he finally picked up the phone.
"Hey." Syaoron answered.
"Hello," Syaoran greeted his brother.
"What's up?" His brother asked.
"Sakura saw the news; she fell into a fit." He answered.
"That's not good. How is she now?" Syaoron asked.
"She's sleeping." Syaoran answered softly.
"Alright. What's happening with her psychiatrist?"
"She'll be seeing someone new." He sighed.
"Rena's worried she's being abused again."
"I am too…" Syaoran admitted. He didn't want her to suffer any more torment and pain. "What the hell do I do?"
"I don't know, but there is one thing I can tell you, and that is protect her like no other." His brother answered.
Their phone call was cut short by a scream from down the hallway. Sakura had woken in another fit. "Sorry, I need to go." He murmured.
"Let us know when everything has calmed down." He said.
"Thanks, catch you later." Syaoran hung up quickly and rushed down the hall to their room; Sakura was screaming and crying out, tears running down her face yet again.
Could this be worse than when she first came to the hospital? He wondered, becoming more worried and concerned about her. "Sakura, please, you need to calm down…" he said softly. She calmed a little, and her screams ceased. But she was still crying hysterically. He leant in and pulled her up into his arms. "Sakura, what can I do to help you?" He asked softly. She wrapped her arms around him tightly and cried; he held her just like always. After she was finished crying, she drew him in for a long kiss, which quickly turned into something else.
Morning came and Sakura woke feeling ill. Syaoran wasn't beside her, so he was already awake and probably in the kitchen. She quickly deduced it to being brought on by an overload of stress, and headed for the bathroom where she vomited in the sink.
"Sakura?" Syaoran called out from the bedroom, sounding rather worried.
Before she could answer though, she vomited again. She could hear him walking towards the bathroom, and as he entered he saw her leaning over the sink looking rather pale and frail. Her skin was hot to the touch, burning up with a fever. "You're not well…I'll see if Rena can come around and look after you while I'm at work today…" He murmured.
"I don't want to be alone…" she whispered.
"I know, and I don't want to leave you while you're like this, but there's a child who needs my help. If possible, I can try and get home early." He said softly. She nodded and he kissed her softly on the forehead before helping her back over to the bed.
"I'm going to call Rena; for now, get some sleep." He said softly. She shut her eyes and he stayed with her until she fell asleep.
When Sakura woke up she could hear voices out in the kitchen, talking. She lay there, listening.
"We already know that child is connected to the case, there's no doubt about it." It was Yuui's voice.
"Yes, but the problem is, who's her mother?" Rena questioned.
"We won't know unless we went straight to the source of information, who's escaped from the prison." Kurogane muttered unhappily.
"My sister isn't handling the news too well… Syaoran said she's fallen ill…" Rena murmured sadly.
"We can't expect her to; not with what she's been through." Yuui said.
"You're also in danger, and you should know that." Kurogane told Rena.
"I know…" She said softly.
"But your family will be kept safe, rest assured." Yuui told her.
"Thank you, but what about Sakura? She's more important right now." Rena said.
"Yes, no need to worry. There's already a strict watch placed over the house; Syaoran has been notified." Yuui answered.
"Good." Rena sighed with relief.
Sakura sat up and pulled on her nightgown and dressing gown, and then walked out. "When were you going to tell me?" She asked, gaining their attention.
Everyone looked over, surprised to see her awake. "Sakura, good morning." Rena smiled, dodging her question. But Sakura knew what she was doing.
"Well?" She asked expectantly.
Rena looked down at her knees. "We're sorry… we knew how afraid you were, and we didn't want you to fall ill." Rena murmured sadly.
"What's being done about Satoshi?" Sakura demanded.
"We're still trying to figure out where he could be, the motive and what he really wants." Kurogane answered.
"I see… How does the child mix in with all of this?" She asked. Yuui looked at Kurogane who shrugged, and then back at Sakura.
"We suspect she might be his child given that tattoo and the wings on her shoulder. We won't know for certain unless we got answers straight from the source, being the child or Satoshi. But if what Syaoran says about the child having Amnesia is true, then that's out the window." Yuui said.
Sakura shifted uncomfortably. The wings-they were certainly his mark. "What about her mother; what can we do to find her?" Sakura asked.
"Well, you'll probably hate me for suggesting it, but DNA testing of all of the surviving women that Satoshi had taken." Yuui answered.
"That's fine by me; as long as we find her mother." Sakura murmured. They all seemed surprised by her agreeing so easily.
"Are you sure?" Rena asked.
"Yes." Sakura replied.
"Ok…" She murmured.
Sakura suddenly felt sick again, and ran to the bathroom. Rena got up and went after her, finding her vomiting in the sink. She rubbed her back and held her hair out of her eyes for her. Once she was finished, Rena sat her down on the bed in the bedroom. "Do you feel any better? Do you want a glass of water?" Rena asked.
"A glass of water would be nice…" Sakura answered.
Rena left the room quickly and returned with a glass of water for Sakura, who drank slowly. "I wish I could help…" Rena said sadly.
"I'll be ok, I just need some rest." Sakura smiled.
"If there's anything you need or want, let me know." She smiled back. Sakura nodded. "Thank you." She whispered.
Rena left her to rest for little longer, and went and sat out with the others. "Is she ok?" Yuui asked.
"I think she'll be fine once she's had some rest." She replied.
"Why does she have to go through this?" The blonde sighed.
"That's what I'd like to know…" Rena said sadly.
