Chapter 10: Was it a lie from the start?
Normal POV
Sakura and Syaoran shortly arrived at the Kinomoto's resident. Sakura exited the car and waved good-bye to Syaoran. She looked at her watch to check if she was on time…
"Oh snap! It's 2:00 already!"
She bit her lower lip and slowly walked up to the front door.
Ding Dong
A furious Touya opened the door and was glaring at Sakura. She entered the house and was careful not to look at her brother.
Click
The door closed behind her.
"Do you know what time it is?" Touya worriedly asked
His brown eyes were full of worry and a bit of anger. Sakura didn't like where the conversation was headed to, so she walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Her brother was quick to follow.
"Damn it, Sakura! I told you to be back at 1:30!" Touya began to shout
Sakura only looked down at her hands, finding some sort of interest in them.
"You're a half an hour late! What were you doing with that gaki?" Touya demanded to know
"…"
Sakura felt too much guilt. When she made mistakes, her brother usually scolded her. She felt like crying… She felt regret and pain…It was all her fault for making her own brother worry. A slow painful drop slid down her cheek. Touya noticed her tear and knew he was too hard on her. He kneeled down to talk to Sakura.
"I'm sorry…" Touya quietly whispered, "I'm too hard on you…"
Sakura looked deeply into his eyes.
"I can't take it anymore, "Sakura confessed, "Dad's always gone for reasons we don't even know… He never has time for us… And you… You always worry about me… When I make mistakes, I feel like I've done a horrible sin…"
Knowing how much pain Sakura was in, Touya took her hand and looked at her watery eyes.
"Dad's only gone for the moment… But it's my fault for being too hard on you," Touya told his sister
"I'm sorry brother… I won't make you worry again…" She said as she wiped away her tears
"Alright then, how about you do that essay," Touya said as he stood up
"Hai!" Sakura said as she smiled
Touya began walking away…
"Hurry up, kaijuu! Or I just might eat you instead!" Touya playfully yelled
Sakura raced up the stairs and yelled back, "Sakura no kaijuu! BAKA!"
12 AM
Sakura POV
'I'm lying in bed… I can't fall asleep… I'm in too much pain…' I sighed at my thoughts.
'Why do I feel this way?' I asked myself
Suddenly, I heard a noise coming from downstairs.
'I wonder if it's father,'
I slowly crept out of my room and down the stairs…
A man with glasses greeted me, "Hi honey,"
"Daddy!" I exclaimed
I jumped into his arms… It's been a long time, since my father and I had a moment like this…
"How is work?" I asked as I hugged my dad
"Busy…" He softly replied
I giggled… It seemed to me that his boss was out to kill him or something…
"So how've you and Touya been doing?" My father asked
"Not so bad… Touya has been going to extra jobs lately and I just couldn't sleep tonight… I don't know why…" I weakly replied
My dad kissed me on the forehead.
"Do you want a snack?" I asked
"Sure," He replied
I walked to the refrigerator and got some milk. I poured it into two glasses. I went to the cupboard and got some cookies. I handed my dad a glass of milk and I sat down on a counter-stool.
"It's been a while since we've talked…" My father mumbled
"I missed you," I told my dad
I could see him smile even though it was pretty dark…
"I have something to tell you…" My father said in a serious tone
"What is it?" I worriedly asked
My dad never used that tone of voice, unless he had something important to say.
"I'm getting married," He announced
"What?!" I asked unsure of what he just said
"Sakura, I'm getting married…" He said again
"To who?" I asked still in shock
"Her name is Yelan," He said, "She's a very nice lady,"
"When have you been seeing her?" I asked
I was getting a little angry, but I controlled my temper…
"Well… It's been the reason why I come home so late…" He said
"What?! So you've been lying to us all this time?" I asked
"No… Of course not," He replied
"Then what's with all the coming home late cause of work?" I asked
"…"
"How could you lie to us father?!" I asked as my voice was rising in anger
'Father expected us to accept the fact that his been dating this lady ever since mom died?! Hell no! I can't accept that!'
I could feel tears slowly forming in my eyes. I wanted to run… To get away from all the confusion…
"I can't believe you abandoned mom!" I exclaimed
I ran out the door… I let my dad gaping, but I couldn't care less about him… He could marry that lady over my dead body! Running away… It was dark outside… New shadows formed to meet mine…. Running barefoot through streets. I didn't know where I was going, but I would get away from 'that' man! Has dad been lying to us this whole time? I saw Tomoyo's mansion in the distance. It was getting closer by the second. I decided that I would go there. I climbed up the fence, still in my PJ's I climbed up a tree and skillfully opened Tomoyo's window into her room. I felt a light breeze on my bare skin. I entered Tomoyo's room… My hot tears were trailing down my face…
"Sakura, is that you?" A sleepy voice asked
"Hey Tomoyo," I said as I sniffled
"Are you okay?" Tomoyo asked
"Oh Tomoyo! I can't take it anymore!" I exclaimed
"Sakura…" Great sadness was in her voice
She knew all along about my family and our problems... Tomoyo got out of her bed and called her mother…
"Come here," Tomoyo said as she patted her bed
I sat down next her… Tears were still flowing out of my eyes…
Then, Tomoyo's mother entered the room.
"What is it Tomoyo?" Tomoyo's mother asked
"It's about Sakura, she's having problems…" Tomoyo replied
Her mother noticed me and smiled.
"Hello Sakura," She greeted
"Hi Sonomi…"
Daidouji Sonomi was Tomoyo's mother. She was the owner of the Daidouji toy company. She was very strict, but yet a calm and sweet person. She was my mom's cousin and best friend…
"What's wrong Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo asked
Sonomi sat next to me and patted my back.
"It's daddy… He's been lying to us this whole time…" I softly answered
"What has he been lying about?" Sonomi asked in a worried voice
"Dad has been dating this lady all this time, while he's left Touya and I to worry about him… He's been lying about work…" I said
Sonomi and Tomoyo were pretty shocked, but Sonomi's shock quickly tuned into anger.
"I swear if I get my hands on Fujitaka… I will…" Sonomi mumbled
I couldn't hear the last part of what she was saying, but I knew she was upset.
"How about you get some rest for school and we'll figure out the rest tomorrow," Tomoyo suggested
"Okay…"
Sonomi pulled out the sofa-bed that was in Tomoyo's room. She grabbed some pillows and a blanket. I climbed into the bed and tucked myself in.
"Good-night Sakura," Sonomi said
"Good-night,"
I yawned. Sonomi walked out of Tomoyo's room and into her own.
"Night," Tomoyo said as she turned off the lights.
"Night,"
I was soon overwhelmed with sleepiness and fatigue.
Dream
I could see my mom in the distance… It was raining and I was standing in the middle of the street. Then, my mother started running towards me… She was screaming something, but I couldn't hear her. Then, she pushed me… Right in front of my eyes, a car hit her…
"MOM!" I screamed
I ran up to her and saw her body covered with blood. She smiled.
"Promise me that you will stay happy… Make sure daddy and Touya are too…" She softly whispered
She slowly closed her eyes… She was dead… Then, the scene faded and everything was black. After a few seconds, it turned into a wedding scene. I saw my father standing hand-in-hand with another woman. I couldn't quite see the features of this lady… I wanted to tell my dad that I didn't want him to get married to someone else, but a warm hand touched my own. I turned to my left to see my mother crying.
"Did daddy hurt you?" I worriedly asked
"No Sakura, I'm crying tears of joy. I'm happy that your father has moved on to find happiness," She smiled
"But mother… He left you…" I stated
"No, he never left me. All those late nights, it was me… He was thinking about me," My mom happily whispered, "Sakura, he'll never leave me. As long with you and Touya, you'll always remember me. As long as you never forget about me, then I will always remain here,"
My mom pointed to her heart and then she smiled at me.
"Never forget…"
Then, my mom slowly vanished into thin air…
End of Dream
I finally woke up. It was 7:00AM. Pretty early for me… I looked around to see if Tomoyo was awake, but she didn't seem to be in her room. I went up to her bed to find a change of clothing and a note.
It said:
Dear Sakura,
I left you a uniform for you to wear. So, please change and get ready for school. I contacted your brother to tell him you were alright, so you mustn't worry. When you're done changing, please meet me downstairs in the dining room for your breakfast.
Sincerely,
Tomoyo ♥
End of letter
I guess I should get dressed… I took the school uniform and headed for Tomoyo's private bathroom. Of course I knew that there was going to be a large Jacuzzi in the middle of Tomoyo's bathroom. When I entered the bathroom, I turned some of the Jacuzzi's knobs and waited for the water to fill the tub. I took of my pj's and stepped into the bath. I lay down… It felt so good… Oh so good… It felt like heaven!
After I finished my 15 minute bath, I changed into the school uniform and I combed my hair and then I dried it.
'Oh great! Does Tomoyo want me to look like a slut?'
I examined myself in the mirror. The school skirt was 4 inches above my knee… And the school shirt was a little bit too tight… I mean WHOA! I think Tomoyo wants the whole world to see my panty! I sighed and walked out of the bathroom. I checked in some of Tomoyo's drawers to find some decent school skirts… I couldn't find any! Did Tomoyo seriously want people to look at me like I'm some kind of whore? I marched out of Tomoyo's room and found my way to the dining room. I was about to yell at Tomoyo, but she had to scream first!
"KAWAII!"
I heavily sighed as I sat down next to her.
"I'm so glad you decided to wear a nice skirt for once!" Tomoyo happily exclaimed
"This was all your planning! Geez Tomoyo, it's the same school skirt except it's 4 inches above my knees!" I hollered
She sighed
"When are you going to learn that guys like when girls shoe some skin? I mean, you have beautiful long legs, why hide them?" Tomoyo asked
"Poop you… First of all, guys are perverts and don't you think that I'm showing an excessive amount of skin?" I asked
"Hehehe…" Tomoyo giggled
She clapped her hands and as if on cue, a maid brought us our breakfast. I jumped in excitement. Pancakes, bacon, eggs and ham with a big glass of milk!
"Do you like it?" Tomoyo asked as she watched me gobble down the food
Then, she gave me 'her' look.
"I know that look…" I mumbled
She was giving me her mischievous look of deception! The last time she gave me that look, she made me do evil things!
"What are you up to now?" I asked
"Since I'm such a good friend and I'm letting you stay at my house for a while, I'm going to do you a favor…" Tomoyo replied, "I'm going to do your make-up!"
"NO!!! You will not poison my skin with your toxic!" I hollered
I started running away, but Tomoyo already held on to the collar of my shirt so I couldn't run! I knew there was no way out of this! Tomoyo gets what she wants and that's final! If I ever get the chance to strangle her, I won't hesitate!
