Chapter 9: Cemetery
It was exactly 7 o'clock in the morning when Sakura woke feeling much worse than when she went to bed. She took a shower and dressed in a white sun dress that hugged everyone of her curves perfectly with matching sandals and a small hat. Tomoyo had insisted on it for this day. She packed some items in her bag and went in to the hallway.
'I hope everyone is still asleep especially...Li-kun' She crept down the hall and stairs into the kitchen. She was almost out the door when she heard a paper flip.
"What are you doing up at this time of the morning?" Sakura froze and looked back to see Yue sitting down on the kitchen table reading the day's news.
'What is with this guy and newspapers? And what is this I'm feeling...it feels like...an aura... Putting that aside how can he see me anyways?!'
"I have my ways , now what are you doing up so early?" Sakura looked at him blankly
'He should now that I don't talk by now.'
"There is paper and a pencil right in front of you." Sakura looked down and saw the piece of paper.
'That was not there a second ago' Wrote on the paper and showed it to him.
I have my reasons
"Whatever your reasons are make sure to came back no later than twelve! Understand?" She showed no signs of comprehension. "Understand? You will be back here in that amount of time we cannot afford you getting hurt again." Sakura nodded and left.
'He was acting so much like...' Sakura shook her head and kept walking 'NO!!! No one can sound like papa but papa himself! NO ONE!!!'
"I wonder what she' going to do?" Yue concentrated a bit locating Sakura and reading her mind.
'He was acting so much like...NO!!! No one can sound like papa but papa himself! NO ONE!!!!' Yue'sfrown slowly turned into a weary smile.
"So I sound like him do I? Fujitaka my friend you sure have an interesting daughter."
Sakura's POV
I was half way to my destination when I came across Tomoyo's house.
'I wonder if she would want to come...I don't think so, she would get bored.'
I kept on walking to Tomoeda Private Cemetery and stood in front of the three tomb stones.
' 'ni-chan...Mama...papa...'I felt tears in my eyes but quickly rubbed them away. It was no time for crying!! But the tears would not go away if I only pushed them back so I let them fall. At first they came one by one but then they all came down like a river and I just stood there sobbing in front of my dead family. Minutes passed and the tears still would not stop...my body trembled at the horrifying memory and I finally thought it was time to continue so I pushed back the remaining tears and wiped my face.
'Weird things have happened since you guys left. You already know about me and Tomoyo's magic but I just joined a gang! I did not even know what I was doing! I fought...like 'ni-chan and papa showed me... it was supposed to be a demonstration but I find out that it was an initiation. They tricked me!! Oh well, and that picture you gave me, Kagura burned it...so all I have left of you is my locket. There's also this book that came out of nowhere from my backpack it was red and it had a lion with a sun chain over its neck and it was locked. Weird right?'
I took there papers out of my bag and tapped them to the tomb stones.
'This is a song I wrote, when I'm ready to talk again you'll be one of the first to here my voice...if I'm ever ready to talk again.' There was a moment of silence when I suddenly heard some leaves move and branches crack, I ignored it until I heard a very familiar voice.
"That was so touching my little jewel." His voice was so calm and sickly sweet. I turned to find Hu Keiichi standing there. Was he there all this time? "Why do you seem so surprised?" He asked a smile plastered on his face, I took a step back.
"..."
"Oh yes I remember our first encounter but I didn't get to finish out little game." He looked at me and smirked, I was terrified but not of 'our little game' he was here for some other reason than that I could feel it. I tried to run the other direction but he caught my arm and slammed me against a tree. "Please, don't make this harder on yourself." he had such an innocent face when he said that I almost thought he would just let me go and stop all of this but he did not. "I heared you are part of the Midnight Wolves tsk, tsk, tsk, that was a big mistake." I did not even want to join! I kicked him in his stomach making him bend over in pain I tried to break for it again but two other men came and grabbed my arms and carried me back to Hu.
"Your going to pay for that." He hissed into my ear. He carried me over his shoulder I tried to kick and punch but it did not work instead he karate chopped my neck and everything went black.
'I hate whoever invented that move!'
Midnight Wolves Base
"Has anyone seen Sakura-chan?" asked Melin very worried for her new friend. "Its getting really late."
"Maybe she went to Daidouji place." suggested Eriol
"She was going to the cemetery." Yue said as he helped his girls with their homework.
"And ho-"
"I read her mind."
"Oh...but its 11 at night why would she still be there?" asked Ruby equally worried for their youngest member. At that same time someone knocked on the door, Melin rushed to open it but was disappointed to not see Sakura there on the steps instead she found Tomoyo.
"What are you doing here?" she growled almost slamming the door in Tomoyo's face.
"Is Sakura-chan here?" Tomoyo's voice was full of worry
"NO!" This time Melin really did try to slam the door in her face but Tomoyo held it.
"May I some in?"
"Whatever" Melin brought Tomoyo to the living room where everyone was gathered.
"Yue-san..." She turned to him and he lifted his head in curiosity at the mention of his name.
"yes?"
"Sakura-chan was going to the cemetery at 7 this morning correct?"
"Yes" The worry in her expression grew.
"She should have come to my house at about 7 pm and have gone back at 9 pm to come here at about 9:30 thats her schedule and she never breaks it."
"Your point?"
"My point is that she can't stand being there all day, If she did you would be able to hear her crying a mile away."
"Your point?" pressed Yue, Tomoyo sighed in frustration.
"My point is that something must have happened while she was at the cemetery."
"Your point?" Tomoyo's eye began to twitch and Eriol could see Yue was pushing her buttons...hard...and she would explode any minute.
"My point..." she growled then relaxed a little and sighed. "That the only people that knew where she was going were you and me, aside from us no one knew, since your a gang the other gangs may already know Sakura is your newest member and the only gang leader she has encountered was Hu Keiichi."
" Your point?" Tomoyo was about to kill Yue
"MY POINT IS THAT HE FOLLOWED HER SINCE HE SAW HER ALONE! IN OTHER WORDS AFTER SHE WAS DONE HE TOOK HER BACK TO HIS BASE YOU IDIOT!!!!"
"Don't you ever..."
"Call daddy an..."
"Idiot!" Tomoyo ignored the comment. In that moment Syaoran came down stairs and headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" asked the twins in unison.
"Where else?" he slammed the door and ran to the cemetery.
"Should we follow him?" asked Ruby
"No he wont find her, all he'll find is a note and most likely her bag." Tomoyo said in sorrow.
