Kura-Kura
Chapter 3 – the letters
For the next week and a half Sakura would go over to Li-sama's house and baby-sit for Koji and Tamashii and at the end of the day receive a note on her bed begging her not to give up on her love for Syaoran even if she might not know if he truly feels the same.
Each letter would give her a strange sensation…almost as if Syaoran himself had written it but the feeling was slightly different. Unfortunately all those letters did was drive Sakura away from Syaoran and into Koshi's arms, leading her to be blind about his "leisurely activities". She became stubborn and naïve, because she refused to listen to the letters, thinking they would stop…they never did.
Sakura walked up to Li-sama's house and slid her key into the lock. Li-sama had entrusted her very own key for whenever he was late or not there for a day or two. Sakura wondered where he went but didn't really want to pry into his personal business.
"Koji! Tamashii! I'm here!" she cried as she opened the door. The house was completely silent. No one was home. Sakura shut and locked the door behind her and walked into the empty house. When she went into the kitchen she saw something that creeped her out. A small envelope was lying on the table addressed to her. It was in the same paper as the letters she received on her pillow each night. Cautiously she opened the envelope and found a small letter.
Dear Kinomoto-san,
I know you are afraid of me but trust me, I'm trying to save your life…I don't mean you any harm and I realise that I'm driving you to the person I'm trying to protect you from but you have to believe me, I'm here for a reason. I know how you end up and it's not exactly picture perfect. If you don't heed my letters and find a way back to your beloved then you wont be the only one getting hurt. Syaoran will be hurt along with both of your children… I'm trying to get through to Syaoran but he's even worse when it comes to his emotions…he wants to believe that you're only a fading memory, just like what you're trying to do. Do you really want to wait till it's too late to be with Syaoran?
There wasn't any signature but she knew it was from the same person as before. She was surprised to find it in Li-sama's house. They seemed to follow her everywhere. She wondered how this person knew so much about her and how close this person really was to her.
'He could even be Li-sama.' She thought grimly. She sighed in defeat and stuffed the note into her pocket. Just as she was doing this she heard the lock on the front door sliding open and the door opening. Sakura assumed it was Li-sama and the children coming home and went to the hall to greet them. However when she got to the hall she saw someone she didn't expect. There was a girl about her age slipping out of her huge platform boots wearing a short black leathery skirt and a pink sleeveless turtleneck with a black leather vest. Her cinnamon hair was pulled into a high ponytail with strands going everywhere and a pair of pink tinted glasses were seated on her nose. On her back was a large bag, which seemed to hold all of the girl's belongings. The teen turned to Sakura and stopped in her place. She lowered her glasses and glared at Sakura with piercing emerald eyes.
"Who are you? And what the hell are you doing here?" she snapped. Sakura was stunned.
"I could ask you the same question." Sakura shot back.
"I'm supposed to be here. This is my father's house. Now who are you?" she looked like she was ready to attack Sakura, and she could sense a slight magical presence in her aura, which explained why she had no key.
"My name is Sakura Kinomoto and I baby-sit the two children who live here. Li-sama never mentioned another daughter." She said, keeping her annoyance in check.
"Well he wouldn't now would he?" the girl started hostilely. "I'm not really his daughter and he left me behind, with his crummy family while- wait did you say Sakura Kinomoto…as in Kura-Kura?" the girl asked, stopping in mid-sentence when she realised what Sakura had said. Suddenly her frustrated glare turned into the lost look of a young child who lost her mother. It was obvious that the girl was close to tears.
"Ano…I guess. Tamashii calls me that a lot, but I don't understand why. She called me that as soon as she answered the door when I first met her. What's your name?" Sakura asked, finally feeling like her old self when the girl lost her cold glare.
"Nadeshiko…after my grandmother." She said. "Call me Shiko." Shiko was trying valiantly to regain her composure, though Sakura saw that she was having a really hard time.
'Why does everyone have that sort of reaction to me?' she wondered to herself. "Do you know where Li-sama is?" she tried asking to get the girl's mind on something else.
"Ano…iie. I thought he would be home or at least Tamashii or Koji would be here." She answered. "I don't even know why he brought them instead of me…his mission doesn't even directly involve them." She mumbled.
"Nani?" Sakura asked but got a shake of the head in response.
Shika walked to the kitchen and dumped her bag on the table. She walked over to the fridge and took out a can of pop then took a seat beside Sakura on the couch in the living room. She seemed to be preparing for something, but Sakura just relaxed instead of sitting stiffly like Shika was.
Suddenly the thing Shika had been waiting in anticipation for appeared. The lock on the door turned for the third time and in walked Li-sama and his two children. Tamashii was in his arms and Koji was holding his free hand. He walked to the living room and his face lit up when he saw Sakura but quickly turned to shock when he turned to Shika. When his shock seemed to subside his face turned red in anger.
"What are you doing here?" he asked sternly, controlling his temper as best as he could. Nobody seemed to notice that Sakura was in the room, so she just stayed quiet and watched them. "You shouldn't have come. It was too dangerous for you to come here alone. You're only a teenager." His temper flared.
"If it's so dangerous then why are they here?" she glared back at him, gesturing to his children. "I have more of a right to be here than they do! Just because I'm a teenager doesn't mean I can't handle myself! I told you back home that I was coming here no matter what it took. She was my mother after all. I should be able to see her one last time before my world comes crashing down!!" she was becoming really upset. Her anger was being mixed with frustration and sorrow, making her easily agitated. "You're not the only one with something to lose besides your kids. I have my whole life that could be destroyed!! I would at least like something to do with this and see her once again before I disappear! I would think I have even more right to be here than you!! She was my mother!! If you succeed then you'll get her for the rest of your life but me? I'll just become a faint memory and then I wont exist!!!" she screamed, becoming blue in the face. Sakura was very confused by all this because she had no idea why any of them were here but from their words this was something very big.
Li-sama seemed to be affected by her words and let his shoulders droop and he hung his head sadly.
"You're right. G-gomen nasai." He said Shika looked surprised when she saw tears streaming down his face. "You have more of a right to see your mother than I do."
"I'm sorry." Shika whispered. In truth she had only seen him cry twice, including this time.
Sakura chose this moment to clear her throat and all eyes turned to her. The tension in the room was lifted and it seemed like Li-sama found a new hope.
"Um…gomen nasai, Li-sama for interrupting but I'm afraid I'm just a little bit confused." She remarked in a soft voice. His face brightened and he smiled slightly.
"It's ok. We were just discussing the reason why I came to Japan in the first place. It's no big deal. But please, call me Xiao Lang. Li-sama is much too formal." His smile disappeared.
"Is there anything you want me to do Li-sa- I mean Xiao L-Lang?" She asked stumbling slightly on his name.
"No. I just got home from a trip and these girls came to greet me at the airport. I think I'm going to stay home for tonight but I'd be honoured if you could join us. We're going to the festival. We've been coming here since Koji was 3. It'll be great to see some past ones." He invited.
'Past ones?' Sakura wondered. But she just dismissed it as a grammatical error and nodded her head. Would it be ok if I went home and changed first?" she asked. Xiao Lang smiled and nodded.
She got up off the couch and went to the door, hugging Tamashii and Koji as she went by. But when she went past Xiao Lang she noticed a small piece of paper, which was the same as the letters she had been getting. It was shoved hastily into his pocket and had some writing on it. She was disappointed to see that it was too illegible to make out the name but she was positive that it was for her. She went to the door and picked up her bag and shoved her feet into her shoes. With one last look back at the family she waved.
"Would you like me to pick you up around 7?" Xiao Lang asked as she twisted the doorknob.
"Sure." She replied and rushed out of the house.
'Why would he be sending me those letters?' she wondered. 'It must have been a coincidence…I'm sure you can get that paper anywhere.' She thought to herself, trying to convince herself that she had nothing to be suspicious about. But in the back of her mind something was bothering her. However she didn't seem afraid to suspect Xiao Lang…she didn't feel like she should be wary of him…she only felt that she could trust him.
"Strange." She mumbled to herself as she turned the corner to her house.
