The Other Man
Chapter 10
A ray of warm sunlight sparkled along the corners of the windows…lighting up the pink room that belong to a sleeping beauty….
Her soft creamy eyelids were closed snugly, two curled up feminine hands rested by either side of her golden auburn brown flowing haired head. A gentle pout played at her full red rosy lips. And an easy silently sound of deep breathing was vibrating across the quiet room lazily.
Monday morning had finally arrived, and what emerged with it was a new day. Everything was being lit up by sunlight and soon, Sakura felt a warm gaze of light rock her awake.
"Mou… five more minutes, Okaa-san…." She whined sleepily.
"Kaijuu! Wake up! My poor nephews need you!" Came Touya's male voice from the glowing light. 'I'm Sakura's alarm clock now, even though she doesn't know it!'
"Sakura is not a MONSTER!" Sakura bolted up right and glared around the room… only to see… no one. 'Onii-chan…? Where are – where did you go?' Feeling lonely, tears pricking at her emerald eyes, and Sakura felt a horrible ache in her heart. 'He's gone. They all are gone….'
When in a blinding moment, sunlight burst from the curtains glowing a brilliant gold that made Sakura gasped in surprised. She continued to look at the sunlight that glowed very brightly, highlighting her and her room. And it was as if that sudden blast of light was hugging her, comforting her.
Sakura smiled sweetly. 'I'm not alone…. Thank you, Okaa-san….'
"Okaa-san! Wake up! Ryo is feeling sicky!" Ryu boomed through Sakura's door.
"Hoeee?" Sakura looked at the door curiously. "Oh no! His medication!" Sakura threw her covers onto the floor and zoomed out of her room, only to see that she wasn't wearing the clothes she wore yesterday night… but a white vest and a pair of pyjama shorts! 'Oh my God!' She looked at the mirror, horrified. 'Where – where are my clothes?' She blushed deep red.
But then Sakura started to remember last night… and a certain very passionate moment outside in the thunderstorm that made her blush to the reddest, crimson rose, and took her breath away! 'Dear Lord, no! I – '
"Hoeee! Okaa-san! Ryo needs you!" Ryu banged on the door loudly.
"Hai, I'm sorry! I'm coming!" Sakura flushed that last thought out of her mind, still blushing like an idiot, and raced out. "Where is he?"
"In the bathroom!" Ryu sprinted to the bathroom. "Come, Okaa-san!"
"Yes, let me get the medication – go and help him!" Sakura rushed downstairs to the kitchen cupboards, noticing a note on the kitchen table with her name boldly written on it. Ignoring it for the moment, she threw open the upper cupboards, grabbed a bottle of Ryo's medication, a teaspoon and raced back upstairs to the bathroom. 'Damn that bloody flu that's going around. It makes Ryo throw up everything!' (A/N: Nothing serious, darlings!)
"Mummy…." Ryo sobbed as he sat in front of the toilet and looked horrible. His nose was runny, his gorgeous amber eyes were soaked with heavy tears, his small hands were clutched on his small lap, and his whole body was shivering with sick coldness.
"Oh my little bear… I'm so sorry…." Sakura hurried to him, lifting him up as she sat down, and held him to her warm body. She nearly burst into tears. Rubbing his small back, she smiled in a kind motherly way, and kissed his wet cheeks. "Everything will be ok… I got your medicine that the doctor gave me, remember?"
"Mmm… I feel tired and sick, Mummy…." Ryo said, sniffing with a frown on his baby face.
"Ok… we won't go school this morning…. Maybe at lunchtime or the afternoon, yes?" Sakura smiled softly, and asked Ryu to soak a tiny green towel with lukewarm water.
Ryu did as he was told and a second later, Sakura was wiping Ryo's cute face down, and then she was washing his tiny white teeth, pink mouth and small creamy hands. While doing all that though, Sakura was murmuring kind words to him…. " – and my Ryo is a strong boy. He is so big and so brave. And I love you very, very much…."
Ryo smiled weakly at his mother, feeling her warmth, and love. "Arigatou, Okaa-san…." He said in cute Japanese, making Sakura smile proudly at him.
"Your welcome, my little bear." Sakura hugged him close and pulled Ryu to her as well. "You both are my babies, ne?"
"Hai!" They both answered back.
"Right, Ryu can you pass me Ryo's medicine?" She stretched out her hand and Ryu gave it to her, looking very concerned at his brother. 'Is he going to be ok?'
Sakura then opened the bottle and poured some orange thick liquid into the teaspoon. "Ryo, open wide…." But, Ryo shook his head and hid his face in Sakura's neck, shaking.
'He hates it….' Sakura sighed, and pulled her shaking baby closer. "Hmmm…." She had an idea. "Oh, look! Ryo, here comes the Choo – Choo Train!" Ryo turned his head a bit. "Choo – choo, choo – choo, choo – choo… here comes the Choo – Choo Train…." Sakura sung in a beautiful light and soft voice. "Mr Choo – Choo Train wants to help you get better. He wants to see a happy Ryo. So open wide and swallow in a big – "
"Gulp!" Ryu ended happily, walking up to Ryo and placed a small hand on his brother's shoulder. "Mr Choo – Choo Train wants to help you, Ryo…."
"Onii-chan, it horrible!" Ryo said sadly.
"But it will make you better!" Ryu said firmly. "And I want you to be better, Ryo." Ryu squeezed Ryo's shoulder. "I don't like seeing you ill. It upsets Mummy and me and Daddy."
"Daddy?" Ryo said curiously. "Where is Daddy?"
'Oh, God… Daddy….' Sakura groaned inwardly. 'How could I forget Daddy? But hey, wait… here's another idea….' She grinned secretly. "If you take your medicine… I'll tell you where Daddy is…."
"Really, Mummy?" Ryo said hopefully.
'Ouch, that hurt….' Sakura kept on a happy face. "Hai, I promise."
"Mmm, me pinch my nosey now." Ryo did what he said and opened his mouth wide. Sakura gently placed the teaspoon in his mouth and Ryo swallowed the medicine down. He looked disgusted. "It horrible!" He cried with fresh tears started to spill.
"Oh, la la…." Sakura pulled Ryo into her embrace and rocked him slowly. "Shhh… go to sleep, my little bear. You will get better with some rest."
"But Daddy?" Ryo said quietly.
'Oh yes, him….' Sakura thought feeling a bit guilty. "He is at work… but he will come back this Sunday that's coming up."
"Good… Otou-san is nice, Mummy…." Ryo fell asleep in his mother's very warm embrace and rested his head snugly on her comfortable shoulder.
"Is he asleep, Ryu?" Sakura heard no reply. "Ryu?" She looked down to see her little eagle fast asleep on her lap. His little thumb tucked into his cute mouth, and his cute face set in relaxation.
"Mou…." Sakura pouted, looking hopelessly at her children. "Boys."
Slowly lifting Ryu up into her embrace as well, Sakura got up. 'Oh dear, they are getting heavy….' She sweat dropped, and started walking steadily. She went into the twin's bedroom and placed them both gently on to the bed.
Next, a warmed up green blanket folded cosily around the twins. Ryu was sucking his thumb and had his other hand twirling with his dark soft locks. While Ryo hugged his sore stomach, sniffed and breathed deeply.
Sakura smiled in content at her boys. 'Sweet dreams, my beautiful babies….' Then she creeped out of the boys room and silently closed the door. Then walking to her own bedroom, Sakura sighed tiredly. She picked up a walky-talky, which was connected to the twin's bedroom and marched downstairs.
The living room hid itself in semi – darkness, as the light was trying to break in. Sakura laughed quietly to herself. 'Mou, Okaa-san… one minute, one minute.' Then walking to the long green curtains, Sakura pushed them apart and let the sunshine flow in. Waves of light danced around, illuminating everywhere.
"Beautiful…." Sakura felt a shiver go up her spine. 'Hmm…?'
The note Sakura saw earlier stared at her from the kitchen table, which she saw through the sliding doors. Sakura curiously started to walk into the kitchen. 'Well, they do say curiosity killed the cat.' She looked down at the note bearing her name in bold handwriting. 'But I'm no cat.'
Slowly, Sakura reached for the paper, which gleamed bright in the sunlight. Her soft fingers closed around it and she felt a sudden jolt go up her arm, she shivered. 'What in God's name?'
Unfolding the note, Sakura's emerald jewelled eyes flew wide open. 'Its from – '
Sakura,
Sorry, this is just a quick note.
I know we haven't had time to talk….
Next Sunday, we'll see if we can get some time alone… to talk. There are so many things I want to say to you….
But, I know we can work this out… and that kiss… yesterday in that thunderstorm… proved that...
I'm really glad you called me, 'Syaoran'. It felt so great and so right….
And I want to be with you, Sakura… and I already fell in love with our twins...
I hope we can talk soon….
P.S. I know this is hard… but Tomoyo asked me to give you her mobile number. (It's on the back of this note.)
She is begging you to call her, or at least get into contact with her. She (and Eriol) wants to talk to you too…. So please give them a chance?
I'll leave it here, and I'll call you later….
I just want you to know that… we're good together, Sakura…
Love, Syaoran
Sakura stared at the note in completely shock, turning pale and rigid. 'So, I really saw Tomoyo and Eriol yesterday!' She closed her eyes. 'And they are married!' Sakura felt her heavy pulse quicken. 'And Syaoran and I did kiss in the thunderstorm!' She took a little peek in the direction of the garden, memories flying back. 'And then he carried me upstairs… into my room, then – then – '
Sakura looked down and stared at what she wearing. 'HOEEE! He changed my clothes! And he must have seen everything!' Banging her head onto the surface of the table, her cheeks hot and burning red… Sakura forced her tears and pain to stay put – in her heart.
Humiliation flooded into her system. 'I will not cry! I cried all night on him and my God!' Sakura looked at herself in the kitchen mirror in disgust. 'How weak can I get?' Then she was looking at the note with venom. 'I hate him with every fibre of my being.'
Sakura closed her eyes and made a promise. 'I will never be that weak again….' She shook her head slowly, deadly. 'Never again.'
But as she looked at the note again, she remembered a bit of the contents of it… something about Tomoyo…. 'Her mobile number?' Sakura looked at the back and yes, there it was. Sakura blinked a good three times, and angrily sighed. Then walking to the bin, she tossed the note into it and dusted her hands. 'Good, that will do it.' Sakura smiled bitterly. 'I hate them all. I won't let them dictate my life and just walk in that easily. I will permanently get them out of my life.'
But there was one thing that kept on nagging at her mind…. 'Our first kiss in six long years….' Sakura groaned and plopped her heavy head into her weak arms. 'That horrible, disgusting, gross, sickening – wonderful, passionate, fantastic, desirable, fun, excitement and sizzling hot kiss!' She shook her head vigorously in denial. 'I hated it! How dare he kiss me! How dare he – '
However, Sakura banged her fists to the table in angry annoyance. 'Stop kidding yourself, Kinomoto. You loved that kiss and you kissed back in equal eagerness!' She scolded at herself harshly. 'And you begged him to take you to bed.' Sakura wanted to kill herself for being so weak, 'yuk and needy.'
The feelings of regret and dread overwhelmed Sakura that she started to drift off to an uneasy sleep…. 'I'm worry about the Hiiragizawas later…. I have to worry about my twins, and Syaoran first… but I get a feeling that I'm missing someone….'
And if karma was true, and guessing it is true now… the sound of a mobile blurred out into the quiet air.
"Hoe!" Sakura gave a start, and looked around. Her tired eyes then rested on her pink mobile, vibrating and ringing near Nadeshiko's picture. Lifting herself up, Sakura walked to the cupboard and picked up her mobile, then went back to the seat, sat down and click the 'Accept' button.
"Ohayo, Kinomo – " Sakura said clearly, wondering whom on earth would call her now?
"Hey, babe…." Came the slurred voice of Kiyoshi.
"Kiyoshi?" Sakura blinked rapidly, realising that it was him she was forgetting, and – 'Oh my God! I cheated on Kiyoshi – but kissing Syaoran!' Sakura felt tears rush to her eyes and her throat clogged up. 'How could – how could I?'
"Yes, it is I…." Kiyoshi shifted his mobile to his other ear, to block out the 'rustling' in the background. "I'm your knight in shining armour that will come to rescue you this Wednesday night."
Too upset and devastated that she cheated on her boyfriend, Sakura said nothing.
"Umm, Sakura?" Kiyoshi voiced curiously. "Are you there?"
"Err…." Sakura squeaked, getting her scattered wits about her. "Yes, I'm here." She swallowed hard.
"Great, so I'll see you at the Niiro Kusabana (Red Flower) Restaurant at nine pm. We can talk then, bye." Kiyoshi rushed out and then immediately cut the line.
"Matte, Kiyoshi!" Sakura forced out, and then stared at her mobile. 'He is doing that a lot lately.' Sadly, Sakura placed her mobile in her pyjama shorts pocket and walked to the kitchen sink. 'I cheated on him….'
'But… he wants to meet me at the Niiro Kusabana Restaurant on Wednesday at nine pm… to talk…?' Sakura suddenly went pale. 'Is he going to break up with me?' Though on the contrary, she felt a rush of relief surged at her, which left her utterly confused and dizzy. 'My God, what's wrong with me?'
Sakura was just about to turn the taps on, when –
"Hoeee!" Sakura screamed, grabbing her perfect cute bottom – then she sweat dropped. 'Hoe… it's just my stupid mobile.' Giggling embarrassingly at herself, lifted her mobile out of her pockets, and clicked the 'Accept' button again.
"Hello… Sakura speaking…." Sakura said timidly, feeling the sweat suddenly erupt on her forehead.
"Hello… Syaoran replying…." Came a deep husky masculine reply, with a slight rough tone to it.
"You!" Sakura immediately went on attack mode. "How dare you kiss me the other night! How dare you call me now! How dare you – "
Syaoran pulled his black shiny mobile away from his already aching ear. 'I should have known that was coming… damn….' He sighed quietly. 'She regrets it, and just when I thought we were getting somewhere….' He put his mobile back to his 'ache-free' ear. 'But no, back to square one for you, Syaoran.'
" – and you expect me to allow you back in my life like nothing ever happened?" Sakura spat angrily.
"Yes." Came back a quiet reply. 'NO! YOU BAKA! NO!' Syaoran blinked. 'What the fuck did I just say?'
"Yes…?" Came Sakura's shocked whisper.
"Huh? No! Wait! No, I – " Syaoran responded in a panic. 'Why the fuck did I just say 'yes'?'
"I hate you, Li!" Sakura cut the call, turned her mobile off, and then stuffed it back into her pyjama shorts pocket, scowling. 'I can't believe him.'
On the other side of Tomoeda, Syaoran was closing his mobile dejectedly. 'I hate myself so much right now.'
"She hates us even more, doesn't she?" Tomoyo said sadly, looking upset with one of her hands clasped in Eriol's.
They all were sitting in the Li Empire Company in Syaoran's side apartment to his office. Syaoran had his head resting back on his sofa, while Tomoyo and Eriol sat opposite him looking at him intently. Things were not going according to their 'plan'.
Syaoran sighed. "Yes, she does." He looked at his best friends square in the eyes. "She hates me more though because I kissed her yesterday."
Silence….
"How in God's name did you do that?" Eriol asked a now blushing Syaoran. "And you look cute when you blush, my 'Cute Little Cousin'.
"Shut it, Hiiragizawa." Syaoran snapped and closed his eyes, throwing his head back to rest on the sofa again. "The thunderstorm that's how."
"Oh?" Tomoyo looked puzzled then frowned in realisation. "She is terrified of thunderstorms… God, why didn't I remember?"
"Its not your fault…." Syaoran murmured quietly.
"Well, that explains some things… but what did Sakura said before she cut the phone on you?"
Syaoran grimaced. "I hate you, Li." His fists clutched a bit.
"Oh, my…." Tomoyo looked at Eriol then back at Syaoran. "I think we should go…."
"What?" Syaoran looked up again. "What do you mean?"
"I think what Tomoyo meant was that we should go back to Hong Kong for a while…." Eriol looked at Tomoyo, who gave a small nod. "Aunt Yelan wants our presence back at the Hong Kong Li Empire Company."
"Damnmit, when?" Syaoran said outstandingly.
"Tomorrow." Tomoyo looked at the ground, unsmiling.
Syaoran furiously stood up and started pacing the floor. 'Why the hell does Mother want Eriol and Tomoyo over there?' He frowned deeply. 'She is up to something….'
"No, don't go." Syaoran spoke firmly.
"But Syaoran…." Tomoyo walked up to him and touched Syaoran's strong forearm. "You know what aunt Yelan is like… please… we won't be gone for long."
"Look – " Syaoran started but never got to finish.
"Syaoran." Eriol was standing up now. "We have caused enough damage to what you have already built up with Sakura… now look its worse!" Eriol looked a bit scary. "We need to give Sakura some time and space… she has seen and she knows we are here… let her come to terms with it…."
"I agree with Eriol." Tomoyo spoke softly. "I'm sorry, Syaoran… but this is one thing with Sakura you need to fight on your own…."
Syaoran looked even more dejectedly. 'Just bloody fantastic!'
"Look, Tomoyo and me need to find a different way to approach Sakura…." Eriol spoke as he crossed his arms over his blue silk covered torso. "The way she saw us was not good... and gave us all a shock."
"So – " Tomoyo carried on. "We need to rethink our approach and 'plan'." Then sighing Tomoyo sat down. "I hate this…."
Syaoran had a hard time taking all this in. He was standing at his huge office windows, with his strong muscled arms crossed over his broad muscular cream stain covered chest, frowning. 'I'll have to let them go… Mother is still in power with the Elders, and who knows what they could do….'
So, he turned around and looked at his friends with a sad look. "Alright, go… but – " Syaoran hesitated. " – be careful."
Tomoyo and Eriol only nodded, and smiled gently. "We'll be alright. Don't worry, ok? And – " Tomoyo looked at Eriol smirking, and said cheekily. "I have my old blue sock with me, ne?"
"Tomoyo!" Eriol said in mock-hurt.
Syaoran smiled warmly at this. 'They love each other so much….' He sighed. 'I need to get Sakura back….' "Hai, you do Tomoyo. But… just do be careful – both of you."
"Hai, we will." Tomoyo smiled sweetly. "Well, I think we should go… Eriol and me need to pack, ne? And we have to check out what's happening in the Hong Kong Li Empire Company…."
"And work out the next 'plan' with Sakura." Eriol added. "And you Mr Li – " Eriol looked at Syaoran. "You need to get back on the phone, and win her over."
"I don't know how…." Syaoran whined, throwing himself on his coach and placed a tensed arm over his gorgeous amber eyes.
"But I do…." Tomoyo spoke evilly, and smiled not so innocently. "I do…."
Syaoran looked at Tomoyo, then at Eriol… and groaned. 'Oh shit….'
Back to the Kinomoto residence… by now it was… lets say… in mayhem?
"OKAA-SAN!" Ryo shouted as he called from the toilet. "Me finished!"
"Coming, coming!" Sakura called from downstairs as she placed Ryu on the kitchen chair. "I'll be one minute, ok?"
"Yes." Ryu smiled as he sat quietly.
The kitchen looked lovely this late morning. Sunlight was shining from every window and Ryu felt himself relax in the chair.
But, just as he was going to stand up, he saw and heard his Mother's mobile phone ringing softly and vibrating next to his Grandmother's photo. And so curiously, Ryu walked up to it and picked it up….
"Hello?" Ryu said clearly into the mobile.
"Ryu? Is that you?" Came a deep masculine voice, which Ryu instantly recognised.
"Daddy!" Ryu cried out with happiness.
"Yes, its me. Good morning, how are you today, Ryu?" Syaoran said with eager delight. 'I can't believe my luck!'
"I'm happy you called Otou-san, and I'm ok." Ryu replied cheerfully.
And yes, the little five year old then continued to tell his father everything that happened this morning. " – but Mummy gave Ryo the doctor medicine and now he is all better! Then Ryo and me went to sleep and when we woke up, Mother gave us nice breakfast and told us that we are having dinner with ugly man Mr Arai on Wednesday night."
Ryu stopped for a second, while Syaoran could barely breathe! 'What the fuck?' But Ryu carried on. "But don't tell Okaa-san I said Mr Arai is ugly man because she will tell me off." Syaoran started to laugh madly to himself. "And now we might go to school, because Mummy said Ryo is much better now."
Syaoran listened to the whole of Ryu's one-sided conversation without a single trace of annoyance or regret. He was actually really intrigued in what his little first son wanted say. And well, he had just provided a great piece of valuable information, which Syaoran vowed to use to his best interests and advantage along with Tomoyo's devious plan….
"Well, what a morning you had today Ryu, ne?" Syaoran said kindly. "My morning was simpler than that, sport. I just woke up, had breakfast and went to work. Simple, yes?"
"Hai, Otou-san! And oh look; Okaa-san is coming downstairs with Ryo. I'll pass you to Mummy, ok? Bye!"
"Err… Bye, Ryu…." Syaoran hesitated, but –
"Hello?" Sakura's voice filled Syaoran's ear.
"Hello again, Sakura…." Syaoran said softly.
"You! Again, I – " Sakura stopped in a breath. "Oh, hello again…." Her voice went lovely now.
The twins looked at their mother curiously. Ryu seemed puzzled. 'Is she mad at Otou-san?'
"I just wanted to ask you how Ryo's doing?" Syaoran said gently, feeling Sakura's discomfort.
'How does he know?' Sakura thought confusedly. 'Oh, I did say something about his medication last night.' She totally missed the whole conversation between Ryu and Syaoran. So she would never know what Syaoran knew now. "He is fine. The medication I gave him was from the doctor, but he is doing fine now." Sakura spoke calmly. 'I will personally delete my number form his mobile if – no – when I get the chance.'
"That's great!" Syaoran said enthusiastically. "Are you going to school? Since looking at the time…." He said carefully, being careful not to reveal anything he now knew about her week.
"Ummm… I'm not sure… we might be… depending on how Ryo's feeling. But I think not… he still looks a bit pale." Sakura said quietly, while looking at their second son sitting on the sofas.
"I wish I was there to help…." Syaoran said even more quietly, but Sakura caught each word. "But yes, don't go to school… well, not until Ryo looks better, please?" Sakura heard a note of anxiety hit Syaoran's voice.
'What is he implying that I don't know how to take care of my own children?' Sakura thought heatedly.
"And no, I know you have taken care of our children perfectly." Syaoran said suddenly, scaring Sakura a little. 'Did he just read my mind?'
"Anyway, I was just calling to try and speak with you. But it looks like that won't happen any time soon, right?" Syaoran asked in knowing.
"Never, and you got that right." Sakura said firmly.
"Just as I thought." Syaoran said in a business tone. "Right then, I will call you later, maybe tonight or tomorrow morning. Take care." And cut the line.
Sakura stared at her mobile with a bitter sadness, which she could not explain. 'I know something is definitely wrong with me.'
"Okaa-san? Are we going school?" Ryo said tiredly. "I still feel sicky."
Sakura sat down next to her little bear. "No, no… we are not…."
"Great, can Ryo and me watch Pokémon then?" Ryu asked hopefully.
Sakura sighed in defeat. "Ok, but not for too long since Ryo is ill." She stood up. "I need to phone the school and tell them we are not coming today, maybe tomorrow… and do some chores…." Sakura sighed tiredly. "Tell me when you little Pikachus are hungry, ok?" She smiled.
"Hey, Okaa-san! You used Daddy's name for us!" Ryu started laughing cutely along with Ryo, who looked happy.
'Oh no, I didn't - did I?' Sakura laughed sheepishly. "Err… I'll be in the kitchen, boys." And she left the living room, walking to the kitchen fast.
The day passed by as swiftly and contently as Sakura would have wanted it. Syaoran never called again that day… which left Sakura in a worried state… feeling confused and annoyed. 'Why should I care if he calls or not?'
The Kinomotos had dinner and about half an hour later, Sakura gave the twins a small warm bath. The twins said they missed their Father, and Sakura couldn't help but agree with them. 'Syaoran did help me a lot yesterday, while bathing them… and the look on his face….'She then frowned at her line of thinking. 'Stop it, Kinomoto!''
After Sakura put the twins to bed, dropped a kiss on their foreheads and she went downstairs – she started to clean up. About another half an hour, Sakura plopped herself down and switched on the TV. 'I'm bored….'
Flicking through the channels tiredly, Sakura wasn't really focusing until she saw and heard –
"No! Get away from me!" A young maiden shouted in the movie. "I hate you!"
The young man stepped closer to her… his eyes looking intently at her. When, suddenly a stroke of thunder erupted through the night – and sent the young maid straight into his arms!
Sakura jumped, then looked sheepishly at herself. 'Dumb thunder!'
"Don't worry… I'm here." The handsome man soothed.
"But I hate you…." The young maiden sobbed.
"But I love you…." The young man lifted her chin, looked into her eyes and pressed his lips against hers in the thunderous storm.
And instantly Sakura sat bolt upright, blinked at her flashbacks and gasped.
&----------------------------------------------------------&
"Sakura… I'm not trying to win our twins from you…. Please believe that." He took a moment. "Please believe me."
He was holding me close… really close… no one has ever held me that close in such a long time….
"Syaoran…." I spoke in abandonment.
I titled my face up to his, my breath stopped, my hands clutched at his broad muscled back, I closed my eyes, and –
His lips found mine… and… he kissed me….
'Oh, God….' I thought as he finally kissed me in six long lonely years.
I forgot about everything… even the thunderstorm –
And we started to kiss like never before….
&----------------------------------------------------------&
Sakura blushed a heavy red and closed her eyes at the heated thoughts. She sighed in defeat and sunk down on the sofa… moaning softly. 'Syaoran….'
"Ahh!" The TV let out a scream!
Sakura instantly sat bolt up right again. And indeed she saw the movie blazing into a very heated scene….
The two love bird where inside a hut, where the thunderous boomed outside….
The young man was on top of his love… naked, but their bottom half was covered with the thin covers on a wooden bed as they started to make love….
"Oh!" The young maiden cried, throwing her head back and grabbed her man by the shoulders. "Kenji…." She moaned in bliss.
The handsome man was moving on top of her, groaning her name and kissed her hard. "Rai…."
Sakura stared at the screen, blushing so badly. 'Oh my God…!'
The images on the screen looked so pleasurable and hot, that Sakura could not help but imagine that it was happening to her… but with Syaoran on top…. 'Oh, Syaoran! I… love – ' She blushed red, and moaned inwardly.
When, the sound of a mobile started ringing across the whole room.
"Hoe!" Sakura fell on the ground, the mobile fell too and suddenly –
"Ah!" Rai cried. "More… faster, harder… please… ah, oh…."
"Oh…." Kenji moaned back deeply, hugging his woman to him while he thrusting his body into hers.
'WHAT THE FUCK?' Syaoran, who was the one calling immediately, froze. "SA – SAKURA?"
"Ha – hai!" Sakura stuttered, blushing with heat and embarrassment, grabbed the mobile in her awkward position in the floor. "I – "
"I want more…." Rai demanded in loud moans as she shuddered in her love's arms. "Please…."
"Yes… darling… oh, yes…." Kenji groaned back, as he complied with Rai's urgent wishes.
"WHO THE HELL IS WITH YOU?" Syaoran bellowed into his mobile.
"HOEEE!" Sakura screamed. "It's not ME! It's on Channel Five, check if you don't believe me!"
"Aright, I will!" Syaoran growled angrily, before he marched to his grand TV, and switched it on the Channel Five, and –
"Oh, oh!" Rai moaned, rocking her body to his lover's. "Kenji!"
"Ah…." Kenji threw his head back, and moved his body into a fast rhythm.
O.O …
"Sakura, are you watching a porn movie?" Syaoran's darken amber eyes were glued to his huge TV screen, displaying the sexual scene to its fullest, and sneakily Syaoran turned up the volume….
Sakura gathered herself off the floor and immediately switched off the TV, huffing angrily. "No, Li." She spat furiously. "I just switched on that channel by accident, then my mobile rang, and I fell on the floor while trying to answer your stupid call and switch off the TV." Sakura sat down on her sofa. "So now do you believe me?" She spanned.
Syaoran's horny smile turned into a frown. "Sakura…."
"Mmm…!" Rai gasped in delight, and wrapped her legs around Kenji's waist. This made the covers fall off the couple… for all to see….
Syaoran' eyes were hanging out of his head when he saw that, but was brought back to reality, when –
"LI!" Sakura hollered down the line. "Switch off that damn thing!"
"Err… I can't find the remote…." Syaoran said sheepishly, distractedly.
"You bastard! I can't believe you!" Sakura hissed back, and abruptly cut the line.
"Huh? No! Wait! I just did – " Syaoran looked at his mobile, hearing the dead line and he deepened his frown. Then using little strength he tossed his mobile on to his bed from the living room! 'I can't get anything right with her!'
He threw himself on the sofa, but then heard the movie playing again. 'Did I land on the remote?' He groaned inwardly. 'No, not now… not sex now….'
"Kenji!" Rai screamed in pleasurable moans and screams, as he forced his way in and out while holding both of her hands above of her head. "My, God! Please stop!"
"I can't…." Kenji cried out in sexual agony. "Take me in one more time, darling… just one more… ah…."
And with one big dramatic thrust…. "OH, YES! KENJI!" Ria screamed while he released.
"OH! RIA!" Kenji shouted back, his body stopping its rhythm and he collapsed on top of her.
Both of them breathed deeply and panted quietly, regaining their breath.
"I love you, Ria…." Kenji hugged Ria close and tenderly kissed her lips.
"I love you too, Kenji…." Ria whispered back before slipping off to sleep, and –
Syaoran switched off the TV feeling overwhelmed with sexual frustration and envy. 'I can't believe I'm jealous of a fucking actor! Who wasn't actually fucking her at all! Fucking wanker!'
He cursed colourfully like no tomorrow all the way to the bathroom and switched on the shower. Syaoran put it on full blast cold! 'This should sooth me… ah, and help with the plan….' Smiling to himself in a sort of idiotic way, Syaoran began to get ready for a shower then bed.
Back at the Kinomoto residence, Sakura had trouble going to sleep as Syaoran did… she was tossing and turning… feeling sexual frustrated and unsatisfied. 'I hate this… bloody porn movie!'
And after about an hour of being uncomfortable and drained for that day… Sakura and across town Syaoran fell into an uneasy sleep….
Tuesday morning presented itself in the next few hours and yet again, Sakura was woken up by –
"KAIJUU! Its seven am!" Touya shouted from the usual glowing sunlight, which broke the murky grey cloud cover today.
"SAKURA is NOT a MONSTER!" The whole house shook from top to bottom as Sakura opened that cute mouth of hers and let out an ear-piercing shriek. "Mou… I'm sleepily again…."
"Mummy!" Ryu boomed through the door. "Ryo needs you again, but he is not sicky! He just gone wee wee." And the thudding of small feet ran away.
"Mou… Ryu is like Onii-chan… he wakes me up every morning… but then he is like as well Syaoran because it's for the sunrise… oh, mou…." Sakura groaned sleepily, yawning. 'Syaoran… STOP IT!'
Gently, Sakura threw off her pink covers and walked around her room, groggily. She dressed into her robe and opened her door. 'Ryo needs me….'
The bathroom was only a little way away from her, but Sakura tiredly made it there. 'I will never sleep late again.' She sighed. 'Or kind of watch a porn movie.'
"Mummy!" Ryo greeted happily. "I'm not sicky anymore." He smiled. "I'm much better so can we go school?"
"School…?" Sakura turned around and faced the clock on the wall. 'What school…?' "Hoe?" She looked up. 'Seven fifteen… and school starts at…?' She paled a bit 'Oh no!' She looked at Ryo. "Hoe! We are late! Get in the bath, Ryo!" She turned around. "Ryu, bath time!"
"Yes, Okaa-san." Ryu laughed as he walked up to his Mother, seeing her in a panic. 'She is always like this in the mornings.' He giggled as his Mother impatiently picked him up, walked into the bathroom, slammed the door shut and started to give them a quick warm shower.
Next, the three Kinomotos were getting out of the house and going to school. But of 'course after dressing, eating a speedy breakfast and finally locking the door – Sakura and her twins were out and walking happily to school.
'We have ten minutes… hoeee….' Sakura squeezed her twin's hands softly. And they walked the way to school… ignoring everyone who looked at them angrily and disgustedly… even since they found out about little miss cheerful Sakura Kinomoto being pregnant without being married… they instantly named her secretly, the Emerald Whore. 'I hate them too… poor Ryu and Ryo… it's not their fault….'
The day passed pretty peaceful apart from the stares from the locals… Sakura again put the twins to bed that Tuesday night after an exhausting day at school. And for about an hour, Sakura was marking the work of her primary school pupils… ' – correct, but needs more working out… incorrect, but good try… oh, fantastic – completely correct!'
Syaoran did not call at all on Tuesday… but he was arching too! 'But its all part for the plan… just wait a little longer… Sakura would call me if anything is wrong, right?'
But he couldn't take it anymore and so called Sakura's mobile, but on hidden.
"Hello, Kinomoto Sakura…." She answered the phone calmly, yet Syaoran can hear that she was exhausted. He didn't reply, but just listening to her angelic voice… her soft breathing… letting it was wash all over him….
"Hello…? Anyone there…?" Sakura asked curiously, feeling a bit uneasy and then she ended the call. Syaoran sighed tiredly. 'God, this is so hard….'
And Tuesday night began and ended with them two thinking of each other all night… yet, Sakura occasionally huffed angrily about it.
Wednesday morning was like any other typical morning….
"Morning, get up… Kaijuu!" Touya snorted with laughter from his usual spot, bound with the glowing sunlight. 'Okaa-san, you gave Sakura's your sleeping hobby!'
"Sakura is not a Monster!" Sakura jumped from the bed looking around dangerously. 'Hoe?'
"Okaa-san, stop talking to your bedroom!" Ryu boomed through the door again. "We late! Ryo and me had a bath already."
"Huh?" Sakura instantly opened her door and looked down at her sons, who were actually in their blue pyjamas and standing in front of her.
"Hoe… ummm… ok, we didn't but you are awake, ne?" Ryu and Ryo doubled up and started laughing their little heads off, looking at their Mother's messy hair and silly image.
"Mou…." Sakura did her famous pout and crossed her arms snugly over her curvy chest. "Ano… are you really late?"
"Yes, Okaa-san!" The twins laughed again.
"What?" Sakura exclaimed. "HOEEE!"
Sakura managed to get to school about five minutes after the bell. 'Thank God….' The school day of Wednesday went on quickly, but one thing occupied her mind… constantly bugging her peace and making her shiver. 'Dinner with Kiyoshi….'
Seconds… minutes… and hours passed… as Sakura thought about this dinner. It was bothering her so much that she positively felt sick with it! 'I'm so nervous….'
Yet, soon… school and the evening were history and the night approached….
Sakura started getting ready as fast as she could. 'Don't want to be late!' She wore a nice long, fishtail black skirt, black satin underwear, a beautiful elegant green shirt with simple embroidery, and to match she wore some nice high black heels with green simple flower jewellery.
But also, she was dressing her twins. 'Well, I can't just leave them at home!' She put a cute light blue jumper on each of her boys and some nice black trousers. 'Maybe Syaoran could look after… no – no. He would just… just – '
"Okaa-san, do we have to go?" Ryu asked dejectedly, toying with his jean jacket silver metal buttons.
Ryo looked at Ryu in cornered. "What's wrong, Onii-chan?"
Ryu only smiled at his little brother, and shook his head. 'No need to worry, Ryo.'
"Hai, Ryu we have to… and – " Sakura looked at the clock. "Oh, we are going to be late! Come on lets go." 'We'll take the car… it's too late at night for the bus….'
So, grabbing her dark coat, home and car keys… Sakura and the twins exited their warm home into the cool night, locking their front door and walking up to the green flash car.
As soon as Sakura buckled her twins in securely, she quietly got in the front seat and started the beauty up. The green car zoomed its way passed buildings upon buildings… turning and gliding across the roads like ice… and Sakura soon reached their destination.
The Niiro Kusabana Restaurant was an elegant place, but of course the Cherry Blossom Restaurant beat it by hands down. The whole restaurant was in the colour of red, white and black… it looked trendy, but for some reason… Sakura hated it. 'There's something not quite right here….' She has never been here, so she could only wonder….
Many tables were laid out on the wooden floor and Sakura scanned the place for Kiyoshi, finding him near the back. 'Oh goes everything….'
She and her twins who were walked closely by her approached the table Kiyoshi was seated at… but he was completely in another world. 'Kiyoshi is so different from Syaoran… who would known our presence is gone if we evaporated from the Earth!'
But just as she was thinking this… Kiyoshi swung his pale face to stare at her and instantly frowned because he saw the twins coming with her. 'Oh, look… Li's brats are here too.' But his face changed to neutral when Sakura looked at him directly, but she didn't notice the frown at all. And when she and her twins were close enough –
Kiyoshi spoke, unsmiling. "Ah, Sakura… you came… sit and let's chat, shall we?"
Chapter 10 is done! 'Wipes brow.' ;)
