Hey! So I'm sick again...yay.
While I watch Criminal Minds and attempt to fall asleep, have a nice read.
Syaoran looked up as Sakura entered his office; she was as white as a ghost. "Sakura, what's wrong?" He asked immediately, standing up and walking over to her. She fell into his arms and cried. "Sakura, what's wrong?" he asked again, worried about her.
"He was here…Satoshi was here in her room." Sakura whispered.
Syaoran stiffened. "Did he hurt either of you?" He asked immediately.
She shook her head, "He didn't hurt us this time…he said he'd be back…he said he'd be back for her…for Kiara." She whispered.
"Kiara?"
"That's her name,"
"Sakura, you're both under protection. It will be ok." He said soothingly.
Sakura continued to cry in his arms, scared of what the future may hold.
Rena rushed out of her office, bumping into Kurogane. "Where are you going?" He asked her.
"Sakura-she encountered Satoshi at the hospital!" Rena cried.
"How do you know of this?"
"She called me-she sounded so… She's so frightened! Please, let me go to her." Rena pleaded.
"Take Yuui with you."
Rena rushed past her boss and found her cousin in his office. She quickly told him about what happened at the hospital and they quickly rushed out and headed for the hospital.
Rena rushed through the doors of the psych ward, bumping into Chii on her way. "Rena-what's wrong?"
"Where's Sakura?" she demanded.
"She's in the cafeteria with Syaoran. She doesn't look too well." Chii replied.
"Thank you…" Rena replied, and hurried off to find her sister.
Syaoran looked up as Rena and Yuui entered the cafeteria. He offered a tired smile, and they walked over. "Sakura, are you alright!?" Rena cried. Sakura nodded. Her eyes were dull and she still looked pale. She hadn't even paid attention to the hot tea in front of her.
"Syaoran, can I speak with you for a moment?" Yuui asked as Rena sat down beside Sakura and pulled her into a hug.
Syaoran nodded and stood, "I'll be back in a minute." He said softly, and kissed Sakura on the forehead.
Syaoran followed Yuui out of the cafeteria; they stood just outside so the girls couldn't hear them. "What happened, if you don't mind me asking?"
Syaoran sighed heavily. "I'm not entirely certain. She said that he was in the child's room. She did find out her name though; it's Kiara." Syaoran replied.
"I see…so she wasn't hurt at all?"
"No, she has no injuries. Neither does the child, Kiara. Sakura does seem to be handling this rather well though." Syaoran said.
"I see…thank you for looking after her." Yuui smiled.
"There's one other thing…" Syaoran murmured.
Yuui looked at him, confused. "What is it?"
Syaoran took a deep breath and then released it. "Sakura's pregnant."
"I thought she couldn't get pregnant?" Yuui said.
"She's had the test results; they were confirmed yesterday." Syaoran replied.
"Congratulations," he said, and then headed back in to sit with his cousin and ask a few questions.
Tired, Sakura and Syaoran headed home. It had been a long day of questioning and questions, and Sakura was not feeling well. It was a warm night, and a storm was on the way. Sakura stepped through the door of their house and heard meowing; Tabby had gotten stuck again.
"Sounds like she's in the cupboard." Syaoran said as he placed his keys on the end of the bench.
"Yep," Sakura replied, wondering off to find her cat while Syaoran began dinner.
Sakura found the cat stuck in their wardrobe, the door having shut behind her once she was in. She sighed and opened it, the fur ball bolting straight out of the wardrobe as soon as the door opened. She headed out into the lounge room where Syaoran was sitting and sat next to him, resting her head on his shoulder. He turned on the TV; there wasn't anything interesting on, so he kept it on the channel it was already on. The TV show was boring, and Sakura paid no attention to it. Some advertisements came on, and Sakura turned bright red. She grabbed the remote and turned the TV off. Syaoran laughed.
"I hate those ads," Sakura muttered.
"I'm sure most people do." Syaoran laughed.
She sighed and smiled, content in his arms. "I love you." She said softly.
He kissed her cheek, "I love you too." He replied.
"So…we're really going to have a family?" Sakura whispered.
He smiled, "Yes."
A smiled made its way across Sakura's face, and she couldn't help but feel happy. "I'm glad…"
"You don't think the timing is terrible?" He half laughed.
"Well, it could have been worse." She replied with a giggle.
"Yes, I suppose so." Syaoran said, and then stood up to go and make dinner for the two of them.
That night sleep didn't come easy. Sakura lay in bed thinking about all of the possibilities that could harm her family. How could she feel safe when her worst nightmare was loose on the streets, possibly out killing and taking more girls with each hour that went by? She wanted to be able to feel safe for the rest of her life, and not feel so on edge or stressed when she was alone in the house. It didn't matter how many officers or agents were on duty outside the house; they could be killed. She knew of the skills Satoshi possessed, and that he could kill anyone in silence, not alerting anyone around him. Sakura placed her hand over her womb, and felt a warm fuzzy feeling in her chest. She smiled, and began thinking of what her family would be like. She heard Syaoran roll over; he noticed that Sakura was still awake as he became more aware of his surroundings after waking up. "What's wrong?" he asked, tired.
"I can't sleep." She said softly.
"Are you worried about what's happening with Kiara?" He asked.
"It's not just that; I'm worried about what Satoshi is doing at this minute-is he killing others while he hunts me down to satisfy his thirst for blood?" She replied.
Syaoran placed his arm around her waist and pulled her close. Sakura hugged him back and rested her forehead against his chest. "Your team will catch him, I know they will." He said softly.
"I know, but-"
He placed a finger against her lips, silencing her. "What you need to focus on right now is Kiara and yourself. He knows you live here; he's taunting you. He wants you to feel on edge and frightened all the time."
Sakura smiled, "You'd make a pretty good profiler with the right training."
He laughed a little, "Thank you sweetheart. Now, go to sleep. I'm right here with you." He said, and then kissed her softly.
Feeling a little more relaxed, Sakura closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep in the arms of her husband.
