Chapter Ten
:---------------------------------------:
She stood there on the balcony for who knows how long. A gentle hand touched her shoulder, "The sun is going to rise soon." Sakura turned around, tears in her emerald eyes, "Doushite? Doushite!" she yelled out. Eriol embraced her tightly, "Shh, I won't let him hurt you." Tears streaked down her cheeks, why, why even after so long she couldn't forget everything?
The time, the memories, the love. She hid her head in his chest, releasing all her tears. The two stayed together until a soft knocking was heard on the glass window behind them. They both turned to see Yue pointing towards his watch. Sakura realized how early it was and quickly rushed inside the house, "Gomen," she said softly to Eriol. Eriol nodded and held her hand, "Sakura…you know I'll always be here for you. I love you Saku." Sakura looked at him, smiling softly; she nodded her head and walked off. Eriol sighed sadly and plopped down on the couch.
Yue chose not to say anything and headed off towards where Sakura had left. Clow had left earlier because he had other business to attend to. Sakura walked towards the room that was placed downstairs. She touched the steal walls, it was sort of like a safe house down there. Completely lost in thought she didn't even notice that Yue was in front of her, staring at her worriedly.
"What's on your mind?" he asked softly. Sakura sighed, "Too much." Yue nodded in understanding, "I guess it is hard to accept that after all this time he's back." Sakura nodded, she had tried so hard to just forget about him, and now he returned. Yue touched her shoulder, "What's wrong with you and Eriol. He seemed pretty disappointed as you left." Sakura gazed at Yue's caring purple eyes, "It's because I never tell him I love him."
Yue looked surprised, "Well, do you love him?" Sakura shrugged her shoulders; "I'm not sure what I feel for him. And even if I do love him, I could never tell him. He wants me to make him one of us Yue. He wants the curse. I-I-I can't do that. I can't do to himwhat Syaoran did to me." Yue nodded, "But he wants it?" Sakura nodded sadly, "He says he wants to stay with me forever." Yue laughed harshly, "Forever are just words of lies." Sakura looked sadly at Yue, "Gomen, didn't mean to remind you of that." Yue shook her off, "It's alright, I mean…I've gotten over it." Sakura looked at him and nodded, "I know."
:---------------------------------------:
Yue was 23 at the time. He had the silkiest silver hair, and softest purple eyes. Everyone was attracted to him, females would just throw themselves at him. But he wanted none of that, no, he fell in love with Mika. Mika had the darkest brown hair but with tender blue eyes. His smile held such happiness that it lured you towards him.
Mika was a vampire though, a vampire part of Clow's little group. He had met Yue by mistake one night, completely entranced with each other's beauty they were instantly attracted. They started dating, happy they found the other. A year later though, things started getting serious and Yue wanted to find out the truth. Mika held many secrets, secrets that he never told. A relationship was built on trust, Yue had always insisted so that night Mika told him the truth, changing his whole life.
"I'm a vampire Yue, I want to spend my life with you. Become one of us," Mika had said. At that time those words were so alluring, Yue had a hard life. His parents hated him, and he just wanted-no needed to break away. So this was the greatest opportunity. When Yue agreed Mika was overcome with happiness. Afterwards though, the curse was too hard for Yue to handle, and Mika only knew one person to help him. So he brought Yue to Clow.
Clow was disgusted at what Mika had done. But he would never leave a vampire in need alone. He had punished Mika and slowly taught Yue to control his urges. Afterwards Mika had to swear again never to transform anyone else. Yue and Mika stayed together for around 100 years before their interest in the other slowly died out, and both went their separate ways.
:--------------------------------:
"Now stop talking about me Sakura," Yue said softly, placing and arm around her, "Do you love him? And don't lie to your oldest friend now." Sakura giggled, "You're my only friend Yue! And…I-I-I don't love him. No, it's not the same love I had for Syaoran." Yue nodded, "You should tell him." Sakura looked at him sadly, "Tell him?" Sakura shut her eyes tightly; "I could never do that. No, not after all we've been through." Yue sighed, "Well tell me how you two met." Sakura smiled softly, "It's quite odd really…"
:---------------------------------------:
Sakura walked along the busy streets, tugging her overcoat closer around her. She was in Japan now watching as the cherry blossoms flew around as the wind blue harshly. It was a very windy day, it was unbelievable how there were still so many people out on the streets. She noticed a bar and quickly headed inside to grab a drink.
She noticed a man sitting by himself in the far back, she walked closer towards him, and she had seen that man before. She pointed for the bartender to walk towards there. The bartender nodded. Sakura sat beside him first, "Care if I buy you a drink?" The man looked up. His hair was all messed up all over his face. His blue eyes held sadness and there were large bags under his eyes. He just shrugged his shoulders. "He never leaves here," the bartender whispered to her. Sakura was shocked but ordered a drink for the both of them.
She tried to start conversation, but the man just ignored her, frustrated she was about to leave when he finally spoke up. "What do you want young girl? A good fuck? Can you tell I'm not in the mood? You should find someone your age," he slurred out. Sakura gaped at him, "I'm older than I look." The man raised an eyebrow at her, "Sure…you act older, but you can't be over the age of 20." Sakura giggled, she was way past that age. Sakura stared at him again, she knew that man from somewhere, and she just knew it.
She wanted to probe his mind, but at the last minute thought against it. She had no right to enter this guys thought. She looked at him again, "You want to go somewhere else?" The man looked at her weirdly, "Didn't I just tell you to leave?" Sakura shrugged her shoulder, "I like your company." The man looked at her, but decided if he wanted some peace tonight, he had better listen to her. He stood up and wobbled a bit. Sakura grabbed onto his shoulder, "Let me help you." The man looked at her and nodded.
He gave her directions to his house that was on the outskirts of Tomoeda. "You sure live far," Sakura commented as she continued down the sandy path. The man chuckled, "Yea, my wife wanted the peace for our kids." "Oh, you're married?" Sakura noticed as the man tense, she realized she must of hit a sore spot, "Never mind what I said. What's your name?" The man looked at her before saying softly, "Eriol Hiiragizawa."
Sakura froze, that's where she saw him. He was in the newspaper a few years ago. A massive murder had occurred on the outskirts of Tomoeda. It was the said three victims had their blood completely drained out. The wife and two children both died that day. The husband was the person who found them, dead in their own home. He had insisted to the police that it was done by a vampire, but they thought he was just in shock.
But Sakura knew otherwise. She had hunted that rabid vampire and killed him. That was what she had been doing the past few years. It was part of the mission Clow had sent her and Yue to do. Recruit new members, and kill those on the loose that are creating havoc to people. Killing senselessly, and he was one of them. She looked sadly at the man before her, no one had believed his story, but she did. She herself knew the truth. She was living proof of it.
When they reached his mansion Sakura quickly dragged him inside. Sun would be rising soon. She placed him on the bed and quickly shut the covers, she couldn't take any risks. The man looked up at her; "You're beautiful." Sakura smiled while blushing lightly, "Thank you." The man touched her cheek, "Was this what you wanted?" Sakura gasped as his hand trailed down her face to her arms. She nodded her head slowly as his lips captured hers.
She wrapped her arms around him, it had been so long since she had been with a man. Since she left Syaoran she never dared to touch another guy. But he was gone, and now was the time to be free. He laid her gently on the bed, while unbuttoning her pink blouse, "Are you sure about this?" he asked her again. Sakura smiled and nodded her head, Eriol nodded and crashed his lips on to hers again. Sakura moaned as his hands explored every inch of her body. How she had missed the feeling. She could feel him tightening, and knew it was about time.
He hurriedly unbuckled his pants. Sakura gasped as she felt his member enter through her, it had been so long, too long since she had felt this way. She was 64 and he looked to be about 26. Even though she was older than he was, her looks stayed frozen to when she was 18. He pounded in through her, Sakura wrapped around his waist as her body moved along with his. She pushed him so she was onto of him. She smirked as she saw the surprised look on his face. She wanted to please him; she forced her lips on top of his, while touching his sweaty chest.
Feeling his every muscle tense she slowly moved down and kissed his growing member. They spent hours awake, pleasing the other. When morning came, Eriol slowly awoke by the sunlight that was emitting into the room. He looked around him, Sakura was nowhere in sight. He sighed slowly getting up, his head was throbbing in immense pain. He shouldn't be caring that the woman was gone…he didn't even expect her to stay the night with him.
He sighed again, it was the most pleasurable night he had ever had. He never felt that good since his wife had died. Tears welled up in his eyes. His hand formed a tight fist, it was all because of that vampire that his family was gone now. Gone, forever, died, died so many years ago. He should've been over it, but he couldn't the memory haunted him. He shook those thoughts aside and quickly got up, his head was getting worst by the minute, he needed something to rid the pain. Soon he fell back into a peaceful slumber.
Sakura
She hadn't left, but instead she stayed hidden from his sight. She smiled softly at his thoughts, he was thinking more clearly now. But soon a frown was placed on her soft features, his mind was filled with bitterness, pain, and sadness. She wanted to reach out to him, but noticing that the room was dimly lit with the sunlight scared her. She was scared, scared to go anywhere near the light. Scared of what it might to do her.
She stayed hidden, she wouldn't come out until the light was gone, that was for sure.
The sun finally set. She walked out slowly and noticed he was in a peaceful slumber. She smiled softly, brushing the loose hairs from his face, a faint smile appeared on her lips. He looked so peaceful when he was asleep, so serene. She noticed him stirring and thought for a second. Should she leave? Or should she stay? Decided on the latter she stayed in her spot as he slowly opened his eyes. "Hello," Sakura said softly." Eriol stared at her in disbelief, "Where did you go this morning?" he blurted out. Sakura giggled, "Why worried about me?"
Eriol starting blushing, "N-n-no I was just wondering…making sure you got home okay." Sakura nodded her head, "Don't worry, I got home fine." Eriol nodded his head, slowly getting up, "How did you get in?" Sakura looked at him mysteriously, "That is a secret." Eriol just nodded his head, too tired to care at the moment.
"So you want to go down to the bar tonight?" Eriol asked looking at the beautiful woman in front of him. "You shouldn't run from the past," she said softly. Eriol looked at her in shock, "H-h-how'd you know." Sakura looked at him, "I know a lot of things." "How did you know!" Eriol yelled out. Sakura touched his shoulder gently, "Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me. Or maybe you just wouldn't want to believe."
Eriol laughed harshly, "My family was killed by vampires Sakura! I can believe anything!" he bit out harshly. Sakura looked up at him sadly, "What if I told you I'm part of what killed your family." Eriol continued to stare at her, "What?" Sakura touched his cheek gently, "I'm a vampire." Eriol started shaking and backed away, "N-n-no! You can't be…you didn't kill me…you're lying! This isn't funny!" Sakura watched as tears fell down his face, she reached out to him, but he just pushed her hand aside.
Sakura looked up at him sadly, she turned away, and she couldn't face him anymore. "I'll be gone now," she mumbled softly, "please take care. And not all vampires were like that one."
:---------------------------------------:
Sakura stopped from her story. She had remembered it so well. It wasn't too long ago. "Where did you go afterwards?" Yue questioned. Sakura smiled softly, "Around, you know? Got back to what was important. The practice, everything." He stared at her, "And Eriol?" Sakura giggled, "Eriol? Well at first he pretended I wasn't real. And than he started getting desperate, he needed to see me again." "And you saw him," Yue mumbled softly.
Sakura sighed looking up towards the ceiling, "I'll tell you some other time. I'm too tired now." Yue stared at her, "You don't want to tell me do you." Sakura looked away, "It's a long story, too much to tell on one night." "I know you Sakura, you could last three days without sleep." She shut her eyes tightly, "I always have a feeling he's around Yue…not tonight. I'm tired." Yue looked at her sadly, he was haunting her. Even though she left, he had always haunted her. Her dreams, her life…and her heart.
:---------------------------------------:
Nighttime soon came again. Sakura was the first to awaken. She didn't know why, but she felt he was there. Around her, watching her every move. And in truth, it didn't scare her, no it made her feel secure. That was until she started talking about Eriol. Every time she thought about him, a shiver would enter her, something she just couldn't explain. Shaking the thoughts aside she quickly got up, Eriol would be returning from work soon.
She saw him go through the door, with a slight frown on his face. "What's wrong?" Sakura asked softly. "Why can't I do anything?" he asked her, gripping onto her shoulders. "What do you mean?" Sakura asked, keeping her tone low so Yue wouldn't wake up. "Why do I have to sit here while you and Yue go and look for clues?" he questioned her. Sakura smiled softly, "Eli, you aren't strong enough for him. And, he'll go for you since you wouldn't be able to protect yourself from him." "But I help you kill rogue vampires!" he hollered out. "You don't get it do you? I can't let you get hurt Eriol!" Sakura yelled back.
Eriol slouched down, "I want to help you." "Stop being childish Eriol," Sakura said while starting to walk towards their room. "Change me into one of you," Eriol said staring at her. "You don't mean that," Sakura said softly. "Yes I do!" Eriol continued to yell. Sakura glared at him, "You don't mean that Eriol, now I must change, I'll be out soon." She hurriedly rushed into the room, unable to handle anymore. By the doorway stood Yue. He had awoken when Eriol first raised his voice.
"You know, she's really delicate about transforming people," he said softly. Eriol looked over towards him, "I just want to be with her." "Tell me what happened after you saw her again." Eriol looked up at him, "Pardon?" "Sakura told me of how you met, but she ended the story halfway," Yue told him. Eriol looked up, he chuckled softly, "I was completely infatuated with her."
:---------------------------------------:
Eriol sat by the bar. Gripping at the drink in his hand, "Please come back," he mumbled to no one in particular. It had been a month since he last saw her. She haunted his sleep. He wanted to feel those perfect lips, that soft skin he wanted her back. "Looking for me?" an angelic voice asked. Eriol looked up, smiling softly, "I'm anything but an angel," Sakura said giggling softly.
Eriol touched her hand, she was full of colour right now, "I don't care, as long as you're back." Sakura blushed, while sitting down, "I thought you hated me?" Eriol shook his head, "I was wrong, you aren't like them. I could tell, you didn't kill me." Sakura smiled softly, while touching his cheek, "I'm sorry, about your family." Eriol just looked away, "Let's not talk about that." Sakura nodded, smiling, "I'm glad you wanted to see me again." "Why didn't you come earlier?" Eriol asked her. Sakura shook her head, "I had some business to handle."
Eriol raised an eyebrow, "Business?" Sakura nodded, "Training, actually." Eriol just watched her as she ordered a drink, "Want to go somewhere more private?" he suggested. Sakura smiled, "Thought you would never ask."
For days the two spent together, slowly understanding the other. They had learned to build a new level of trust and understanding. But Eriol was getting…shy. Sakura had always paid for everything, his current job could only afford him the apartment, so for desperate measures he called his sister Nuriko.
"Riko?" Eriol asked when he heard the phone pick up. He could hear a groan on the other line, "What did you do this time?" his younger sister asked frustrated. Eriol blushed, he had created a lot of trouble for her, "I need money…" Nuriko screamed in his ear, "Nani? Again? Still getting drunk everyday? I'm not going to help you! You should learn to get over her! It's been 3 years Eriol. There's something called moving on!" Eriol sighed, finally she had stopped talking, "Riko! Calm down, I need the money to take this girl on a date."
He could hear that she was shocked by the news, "Nani?" Eriol chuckled, "I found this great girl, I want to take her somewhere nice." Nuriko paused before asking softly, "Are you lying to me?" Eriol chuckled again, "Nope, I'll even let you meet her sometime." He could see his surprised sister on the other line. Finally she gave in, "All right, I'll give you the money. If you're lying to me I'm taking the house back…bring her over this weekend all right little brother?" "Hai!" Eriol said happily. He was finally going to be able to take her somewhere nice. Somewhere she deserves.
He quickly found the phone and dialed her number. "Moshi moshi?" a tired voice said softly. Eriol mentally hit himself, it was still early, and the sun was still out. "Wear something nice today…" he said softly. Sakura quickly got awake, "Eli? Sure thing! Why where are we going?" Eriol chuckled, "Don't worry about it, it's my treat." Sakura brightened, "All right, I'll see you soon." They both hung up. Eriol quickly rushed to the bank to get the money.
That night he went to pick Sakura up from her house. She was wearing a long emerald green dress that complimented her eyes perfectly. Her lips were coated a soft pink, and she had a thin layer of make up on. Her hair was curled and flowed down past her shoulders. Eriol took her head in his, "My lady," he said softly. Sakura just nodded while a large smile was on her face. Eriol was wearing a dark blue suit with a matching tie. His hair was gelled back.
They walked slowly and outside waiting was a new car. Sakura smiled, "You bought a new car?" Eriol sweatdropped, "Not exactly…I sort of just rented it." Sakura giggled, "It's beautiful." Eriol smiled, "Thank you, now let's go to dinner." The ride there was peaceful. When the car stopped, Sakura looked around. They had stopped at Stars the most famous restaurant around. Sakura gasped, "Are you sure you want to go here." Eriol stepped out, taking her hand, "I want you to have the best." Sakura felt tears in her eyes; no one had ever cared about her so much before.
The dinner was peaceful. The meal tasted fantastic and never once was it awkward for the two. Sakura was surprised as she watched him pay. He was doing this all for her, she knew that. When they returned back to the car he turned to her, "How did you like dinner?" Sakura smiled brightly; "It was fantastic…you didn't have to do all that." Eriol shook his head; "No I wanted to."
Sakura blushed lightly, "So how'd you get the money." Eriol looked away in embarrassment, "I had to borrow from my sister. But I promise you, I'll treat you with my own money next time." Sakura looked at him, "Really?" Eriol nodded, "Also…would you come with me to visit her this weekend?" Sakura brightened, "I would love to!" Eriol smiled, and held onto her hand, "All right."
The visit to his sister's was a fun one. They talked until it was nearly morning. Eriol had insisted that Sakura had something to do and had to go. After that the two never visited his sister again. They knew they wouldn't be able to explain to her how come Sakura never aged, and they doubted his sister would be so understanding.
:--------------------------------:
"You know, you shouldn't talk about someone when they're in the house," an angry voice said. Eriol and Yue turned. Yue sweatdropped, "Gomen! Don't be sad lil sis…I just wanted to hear the end of the story." Sakura growled, but soon let out a sigh, "It doesn't matter, we have to go now." "All right," Yue said getting completely serious. "Can't I come?" Eriol asked again. Sakura looked at him sadly, "No, you wouldn't be able to protect yourself." Eriol sighed, "When will this all be over."
Sakura shut her eyes tightly, "I don't know…but I promise I'll do something with you tomorrow Eriol." Eriol looked at her, smiling lightly, "All right, I'm going to bed than. Please don't get hurt." Sakura smiled, while kissing him lightly on the lips, "I promise." They watched as he headed towards his room. "You ready?" Yue asked, watching her.
Sakura nodded, her auburn curls bouncing. She was wearing a black dress with her hair curled. She had on a light coat of make up and black eyeliner. They both walked through the front door, and headed out through the night.
First thing they had to do was get a quick meal. They would have to stay out late looking for Syaoran, so they needed the energy. There was a couple walking along the sidewalk, Sakura slowly lured them towards them. Yue went down first, grabbing the woman and drinking out of her. Once he stopped he stared towards Sakura. Sakura nodded and did the same to the man. Once they were filled they quickly erased the couples' memories and flew off towards the night.
After searching around Tomoeda for 6 hours they found no clue. Finally giving up the two returned home. "That was useless," Sakura said plopping on the couch. "Don't worry, we'll find him soon or later," Yue said encouragingly. "But what if we don't find him soon enough? He'll continue hurting others Yue! I can't stand just sitting here waiting for him to come get us!" Sakura stood up yelling at Yue. Yue touched her gently, "But what else can we do? You and I both know, we aren't strong enough to take him on. Even together, we are only half his strength. So all we can do is listen to what Clow told us. We must wait for him to find us, by doing this we're leading him on, making him think we're hunting for him."
Sakura sighed, "I'm just getting tired of everything." Yue nodded, "We'll find him." 'Turn on the tv,' a deep rumbling voice entered Sakura's mind. Sakura held onto her head tightly, "Are you okay?" Yue asked worriedly. "Turn on the tv…" Sakura said softly. Yue nodded and did what he was told. On the television was a news reporter.
This just in…a couple found dead lying on the streets due to blood loss. Seems like the killer 'vampire' had come back. No one is safe, so please do not exits your home late at night if you don't have to.
Sakura gasped, it was the couple from before. "He's watching us…" Sakura mumbled softly. Yue nodded, "We have to be more careful." Sakura shook her head, "It won't do any good." Yue just watched as Sakura slowly walked away. She noticed her shaking figure, but said nothing. She just needed a good nights sleep.
