The Intern
By: SourPop1004
When Sakura woke, she looked around. She tried to evoke what had happened last night but drew a blank. Last night wasn't the only thing that she couldn't remember. To her dismay, she couldn't remember what her name was. She tried getting up but was held down by ropes. Just then the door opened. Heero walked in with his brother.
"Hello there Sakura." His slimy voice drawled.
"S-Sakura? Is that me?" Sakura's voice squeaked. Heero looked at her with curious eyes.
Turning to his brother. "What the hell happened?"
"It's nothing serious. Apparently, the knockout smell the men used to put to sleep was overwhelming. I guess she can't drink, that's for sure. I was sure they used only a minimum amount but I guess she couldn't handle it. It's temporary amnesia. Her memory will come around eventually. But I don't care about her. Since she managed to safely hide Tomoyo-san away, we'll have to go with plan B. We'll blackmail."
"I'm sorry I'm even saying this but why are we doing this? Why do we have to? Can't just go on living happily? We're together now. Our parents aren't here to drive us apart?"
"Heero, I know but I'm doing this for us. If we can pull this off, think of all the money and happiness we'll have. Don't want this?"
"I-I guess."
"Good. Now don't bring it up again."
Couple of minutes passed while the room was silent. Heero looked at Sakura. She looked innocent and clueless. She looked at him and smiled. Heero was taken back because if Sakura were in her right mind, she'd spit at him and curse his name. He weakly smiled back. Breaking the silence, Heero began.
"So are we just gonna write a letter saying we have her?"
"No. We'll have a party. We'll invite Li-san and Daidouji-san. We'll show them that we have Sakura and that we'll trade her for Tomoyo. I think it'll be more interesting that way." Mr. Shigo just smiled wickedly. With that, he went out the door. "Do whatever you please with her. I don't care." The door shut. Heero only grinned at the thought of having Sakura for himself.
Sakura turned and looked up with emerald eyes. "Um.if it's not too much trouble, could you please take these ropes off? They're very uncomfortable." She smiled.
"Don't try anything funny." warned Heero.
"Why would I try anything?" She truly had no clue. Heero quickly moved behind the chair and undid the ties. When the ropes came loose, she gently stood up and stretched. She was still in her jeans and red Hurley. "So.who am I exactly. And who are you?"
"You're Kinomoto Sakura. I'm just.Heero. I'm your fiancée." Heero shut his eyes and waited for her reaction.
"Oh.hi Heero. I have a fiancée?" Sakura looked at him curiously.
"Yes."
"Oh. But what am I doing here?"
"This is my house. I invited you over for the weekend."
Heero thought about the party that his brother was going to throw. If only Sakura could stay this way until the party, Syoaran would flip if he saw. Heero's thoughts were interrupted when he felt Sakura's hand on his cheek.
"Did you get hurt?" She fingered his jaw line. There was a bruise. Of course, she had caused that when she had kicked him at the party.
Heero placed his hand over hers and closed his eyes. Sakura blushed. (eww.blushing at Heero.) When Heero opened his eyes, he let her hand go. He stepped back and stared at her. He could have taken advantage of her this minute. But surprisingly, a tiny little voice in the back of his head told him it was wrong. Since when did he care? Heero shook his head and walked towards the door. He would have died for Sakura to be his, but this wasn't it. She was his only because he told her she was. She wasn't doing it out of will. Actually, she was doing it in on her own free will but he knew if it weren't for the amnesia, he'd never come this close to her. He hated this odd feeling he had never felt before. When he made his way to the door, Sakura stopped him.
"What's the matter? Are you ok?" She placed her hands on his shoulder. He stood there frozen but quickly pushed her away and went out the door. Sakura just stared at the beautifully carved wooden doors.
***
Syaoran's cell phone rang loudly. Syaoran rolled to his side and moaned. He clutched the back of his head and tried to feel how it was. Luckily it wasn't bleeding but he had a massive migraine. He crawled to his phone and picked it up.
"What happened?"
"Yes." Syaoran felt the throbbing pain in the back of his head.
"Syaoran? You ok? You sound really tired or something." It was Eriol on the other line. "Is Sakura there with you?"
Syaoran's eyes widened. "Sakura!" He quickly got up and looked around his empty living room wildly.
"Shit! They took her!"
"What?!"
"Last night, I think I was bashed on the head or something cause I have a really bad head ache and Sakura's not here! Now what?" Syaoran was rapidly breathing. Obviously he was breaking down, which he rarely did.
"Ok. Calm down first. I think we shou-" Eriol was cut off when Syaoran heard a car outside.
"Wait Eriol, there's a car in front of my house."
Still holding the phone, Syaoran went outside. A flying envelope greeted him. Syaoran expertly caught it with one hand. Soon as he looked at it, the black car sped off.
"This black car came and gave me an envelope." Syaoran was puzzled.
"What does it say?" Eriol was anxious with excitement and fear at the same time.
"It says:
Mr. Li,
You are cordially invited to my dinner party, which will be held in two nights from the moment you get this letter. The party shall start at 7. Please dress formally. I know you want to save your precious friend. In order to do so, I need Miss Daidouji. So I suggest you bring Miss Daidouji with you. If you inform other authorities or tell anyone about this party, I assure you Miss Kinomoto will be unhappy. And when I say unhappy, I mean she'll be unhappy for she will be dead. But let us not talk about unpleasant things. So I assume you are attending. I look forward to your coming.
Sincerely,
Shigo
And there's an address at the end." Syaoran's blood was running cold.
"He didn't mention me at the party. I'll sneak in and help you. I'm afraid you're gonna have to obey and take Tomoyo with you if you want to save Sakura."
"Right. I'll call you later." With that Syaoran hung up.
Once inside, he paced around the living room picking up various objects and putting them back in place. His eyebrows furrowed together when he thought of Sakura.
***
Sakura sat in a chair and stared out the window. The sky was bright blue and the sun was shining. She sighed when she couldn't remember anything at all. When her thoughts turned to frustration, she stood up and went to the door. She opened it and walked out into the corridor.
Once outside, she wandered aimlessly and found a large beautiful staircase. She carefully went down the stairs. She had no clue where she was going but somehow she had managed to find the kitchen. She looked around and found a fridge. When she opened it, it had a beer six-pack and some sodas. She picked a soda up and went towards the kitchen table. She pulled up a chair and say quietly. Sipping her soda, she looked around the large white room. Suddenly, a velvety voice came from the entrance.
"I see you have found the kitchen. Sorry there's not much food." Mr. Shigo smiled at Sakura. "So do you have any idea who you are my dear?"
Sakura looked down at the clear glass table. "Um.I know I'm Kinomoto Sakura and that Heero's my fiancée. That's all I know so far."
Heero's brother's eyes widened. Fiance? What was his little brother up to? His expression quickly switched to a more composed one.
"Well, I just wanted to tell you that there's going to be a dinner party in two days. So I suggest you and Heero go find a dress." Mr. Shigo replied and walked away to find his brother.
Sakura sat staring at Mr. Shigo's back.
***
Heero was in the garden staring up at the sky with his hands behind him. A cool voice came from behind.
"Fiancée? Very interesting."
Heero glared at him. "Don't mock me."
Mr. Shigo only laughed lightly. "I came to tell you to go pick out an attire for Miss Kinomoto for the party. It'll be in two days."
"But won't she get away?"
"From what I've seen, I think she'll be clueless until the party. Don't worry. We have the tracker on her." Shigo smiled.
Heero only nodded and went inside the huge mansion.
***
Heero was holding Sakura's hand and leading her around the Tokyo Mall. At various points guards stood to look after Heero incase Sakura tried to escape. Sakura only smiled and followed Heero into a fancy dress shop.
On the other side of the mall, Tomoyo was walking around with a notepad and pen.
"So why are we here exactly?" Eriol gave her a look.
Tomoyo giggled. "Well, even if I have high possibility of being kidnapped, I have got to keep working you know? I look around the mall in various fashion shops and take notes on their styles, fabric, design, and the usual." Tomoyo smiled up the tall man with glasses.
"Right." he trailed off, too busy staring at Tomoyo to actually listen to what she was saying.
"Hello?" Tomoyo waved her hand in front of his face. "Earth to Eriol-kun!" When Eriol snapped back, Tomoyo giggled.
"Ok, so, where are we off to now?"
"Oh! There's this store I really like. I don't buy anything from there but I love looking at the dresses. It's over there." Tomoyo pointed a shop with clear glass windows with elegant dresses posed. Tomoyo grabbed Eriol's hand and ran towards the shop.
Sakura came out in a long gray dress. The whole gown clung to her figure. Her back was bare but had a large gray bow just at the bottom ending of the slit. The bow had two long cloths that dragged on the floor. (I don't know if you guys can picture it but please try.) She stepped onto the platform and studied the dress in the three full-length mirrors. She turned to Heero with questioning eyes.
"What do you think?"
"Try something else." In actuality, he didn't care what she wore. She looked beautiful in anything.
After a few minutes, She came back out in an ivory dress. It had a tight fitting halter-top. But as the dress proceeds down, the bottom half was tight around her legs. It was like the gray dress except the dress trailed with ribbons tying the heavy garment every so often. (Ok, if you can't picture this one, think of the dress Meg Ryan wore in the movie Kate & Loepald. You know the grayish blue one that she wore at the way end? It looked like a slinky type dress from the front but when she turned sideways, the dress was really long. I loved that movie. Leopald is such the ideal guy. ::sigh::) She slowly turned to see how it was. She loved it. She turned to Heero and asked.
"How's this one?"
"I like it. Let's get it." He smiled. How he loved this feeling. It felt like they were a real couple. While in truth they were not.
The saleswoman packed the dress in a large silver box and smiled handing it to Sakura.
"Thank you." Sakura smiled sweetly.
They both were almost out the door when Sakura bumped into a girl. Sakura's box fell to the floor. The girl with long violet hair got up and helped Sakura up. Tomoyo bent down and picked up the box and brushed the dust off.
"Here. I'm really sorry." Tomoyo looked up and handed Sakura the box. Tomoyo's eyes widened. "Sakura?"
"Um.yes? That's me. Do I know you?" Sakura smiled.
"Sakura, it's me, Tomo-" Tomoyo was cut off by Eriol's hand on her mouth.
"Chi. Tomochi. She's my.uh.girlfriend." Eriol looked down at Tomoyo and warned her to stay put. Tomoyo didn't know what was happening but understood that something must be up. Eriol had his serious eyes.
"Nice to meet you Tomochi." (Hhahaha.hillarious.) Sakura put out a hand and Tomoyo shook it.
"We've got to be going." Heero gruffly pulled her away. Sakura helplessly waved at Eriol and Tomoyo. Heero and Sakura disappeared into the crowd.
Eriol and Tomoyo were both in the parking lot. Tomoyo was a bit angry.
"What was that about? Why wouldn't you let me talk to Sakura?" Tomoyo had a look of worry.
"Ok. I called Syaoran this morning and he told me that they took Sakura."
Tomoyo gasped.
"I know.anyway, that guy she was with, He's Mr. Shigo's brother. If you gave your name away, he would have taken you too. and as for Sakura, something's not right. She didn't fight him or anything. And she didn't know who you were." Eriol opened his car and got inside.
"Yeah.well what are we going to do? I need to help Sakura." Tomoyo proceeded to climb into the car as well.
"Well, obviously, she was the shop to buy a dress. Syaoran got an invitation to one of Shigo's dinner parties. He has Sakura for hostage. He wants to trade her in for you. But that's not gonna happen. You'll just have to go with Syaoran to the party and we can rescue Sakura. We don't have to hand you to him."
Tomoyo gasped for the second time.
"Don't worry, I'm doing to go as back up. In the invitation, Shigo didn't invite me and there's no reason for him to know me, so I'll be there to back up Syaoran."
"Right." Tomoyo had a look of determination. "I know we can do it."
Eriol smiled and sped out of the parking lot. He headed towards Syaoran's apartment to tell him what had happened.
***
Sakura looked out at the starry night sky. The dark velvet of night covered the sky in an elegant way. The stars looked like diamond studs on the heaven above. She was dressed in her ivory dress with the same colored high heels. Her hair was put up in an elegant French twist with random strands of hair cascading down all around her face. She continued to gaze at the night sky. It had been two days and she still couldn't understand who she was. Names and titles wasn't what she was hoping to find out. She wanted to know herself. Frustration was starting to creep up her spine. She quickly turned away from the large window and walked over to an over-stuffed chair. She gently sat and looked around. Candles and a large crystal chandelier in the center of the room brilliantly lighted the large ballroom. Something in the back of her mind was starting to twinkle. A flash back of a beautiful room on a boat crossed her closed eyes. She didn't understand what that meant, but she knew by the end of the night she'd find herself again. She was unconsiousnly fingering her diamond necklace. Breaking her train of thoughts, Heero walked into the empty room. Sakura turned and smiled. There was something about Heero that Sakura was starting to question. Was he really who he said to be?
"Hi." Sakura's voice was small and polite.
"The guests will be arriving soon." He curtly replied and turned away.
***
"I'm leaving!" Syaoran bellowed from downstairs.
"Coming!" Tomoyo picked up her dress and ran down the stairs. "Let's go!"
Tomoyo smiled and took Eriol's offering hand. They smiled at each other. They both knew tonight will be difficult and dangerous. The three of them silently walked out of Syaoran's apartment.
***
The guest had started arriving. The ballroom was now full of men and women formally dressed in beautiful dresses and tuxedos. The room bustled with happy chatter. Sakura sat in one corner of the room and observed the people. There were people from various countries. Her eyes wandered to a slender woman in her late 40s with short brown hair. Sakura had a feeling in her stomach that she knew that woman but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
On the other side of the room, Syaoran and Tomoyo were coming in through the large wooden doors. After checking with the guards, they were both escorted into the ballroom. Syaoran and Tomoyo quickly dissolved into the large crowd of people. They were both scanning the room for Sakura. Just then, Syaoran's silver cell phone rang.
"Yes?"
"Well Mr. Li, I'm glad you could make it. And I'm pleased that you have brought Miss Daidouji with you. From this moment on, you are playing in my ballpark so I suggest you don't attempt anything. I can see you are looking for Miss Kinomoto. Well, you'll see her tonight. For now, I suggest you dance. Tonight will be fun." Syaoran's phone hung up. Syaoran didn't like the way Mr. Shigo emphasized the word fun.
"Tomoyo, He knows we're here. That was him on the phone. He wants us to dance. I think it'd be wise for us to do as we are told for the time being."
Tomoyo solemnly nodded. The orchestra started to play and the whole room went into a waltz. Couples were whirling and twirling in a synchronized motion. Syaoran quickly hopped in and tried to follow what to do. Tomoyo was much better at it. Her dark purple dress swirled along with her long wavy violet hair. Every so often, the partners changed. Syaoran watched Tomoyo carefully. After a few minutes, Syaoran had perfectly learned how to waltz. When his partners changed, he was surprised to be looking down at Sakura.
"Sakura!" he whispered.
"Yes?" Sakura looked up with a blank expression.
"Are you alright? Did that bastard do anything to you?" Syaoran had a hint of anger in his voice but he genuinely looked worried. He looked at her up and down to check if she was hurt in any way.
"Why wouldn't I be, sir? And I do not appreciate you looking at me like that." Sakura replied sharply.
"What? Are you alright?"
"I'm perfectly fine." The song slowed and came to an end. "If you'll excuse me, my fiancée is over there." Sakura started to walk away.
"Fiancée? What?!" Syaoran grabbed her arm and made her look at him. Their little encounter was oblivious to the rest since they were all laughing and talking. Sakura swirled around and stared into his amber eyes.
"Let me go!" Sakura tried to yank her arm away from Syaoran. But Syoaran just grabbed her harder.
"I don't know what's up with you but we are LEAVING!" Syaoran led Sakura towards the entrance but was stopped in the center of the room.
The crowd fell silent. Heero was approaching them with a gun at hand. When a few feet from Syaoran, He raised his hands and pointed the gun in front of Syaoran's face. The people gasped and some screamed.
"Let her go or I'll kill you." Heero sneered.
Syaoran just stared coldly. But the next thing he knew, he was staring at the back of Sakura's head.
"Heero, please. Don't do this. Put the gun down." Sakura pleaded.
"No! Now move aside. I wanted to kill him since the first day I met him. And I will. So now MOVE!" Heero's voice was rising higher and higher.
"NO! I don't know this man but you will NOT kill him!" Sakura was surprised by her outburst but she felt a need to protect this man.
Heero's mind was racing. Even when she was suffering from amnesia, she had some sort of bond with Syaoran. He hated the thought of it. This was his only chance for Sakura to actually care for him. But now it was falling apart. And to think this was all because of Syaoran. Of course, it wasn't but what else can an over-jealous man think? Out of reaction, he slapped her face. The slap echoed through the silent room.
Syaoran quickly turned to Sakura. "Are you ok?" He glared up at Heero and was about to lunge at him when Sakura's hand stopped him.
"Don't." Sakura's cheek stung with pain. And to enhance the effect, her cheeks were wet with tears. She found herself in a wild dream state. She saw herself in a beautiful yacht with a group of scared people cowering in one corner. Heero was wearing a cap and she was in a black dress. She distinctively remembered the hot stinging slap he had given her. Yes, it was all coming back to her as if she was falling back into her world. When her memories came back, she realized what had happened. Heero her fiancée? Ha! Never in a million years. Coming back from her thoughts, she realized the whole room was silent with fear. She raised her pretty head and looked at Heero. He had a look of fear and anger. She straightened herself out and wiped away her last tear. Her gazed quickly turned into a glare.
"You shouldn't have done that. That way, I could've have stayed clueless to the fact that you aren't my fiancé and you could've have done anything you wanted with me. I could have been your perfect girlfriend that would have done anything you asked knowing nothing of my actually life and why I was here in the first place. I pity you Heero. I truly do. You could have been a better person. I know you are a better person inside, but why do you choose to join your brother? I know and I'm sure you know that your so- called brother doesn't give a damn about you. I stayed in this house for only a couple of days and right away I can see he doesn't care. You're just another man to do the dirty job. Except you don't have to get paid. He knows you'd do anything for him in a heartbeat. And when you question him, he puts on his fake mask and uses your parent's divorce for a reason for you two to stick together. I think you were better off with your mother. You don't need a brother that takes advantages of you." Sakura gave Heero a hard gaze. Heero was taken back by her words. He didn't want to believe them but he knew. They were true.
Seeing his guard was down, Sakura quickly snatched the gun away from him. Instantly, the guards sprang forward to attack. Syaoran grabbed Sakura once more and dashed towards the door. Constantly dodging every turn, Sakura and Syaoran managed to make it out the front door. They both heard bullets speeding by, barely missing them. Plant pots shattered, the dirt in the driveway kicked up with every blow, and expensive cars were punctured with holes. As the two dashed, they saw Tomoyo in Eriol's convertible. The top was down so the best think they could have thought of was to jump in. Once they landed safely inside the car, Eriol, in the driver's seat, rapidly turned the car around to face the main entrance to the driveway. To their dismay, the gate was closed, and the guards were approaching. Eriol quickly stepped on the gas and rammed into the gate. After a couple of tries, the gate fell loosely to the ground. Taking the chance, Eriol sped forward and roared out of the estate. He drove furiously going over a 100-mph.
When the guards got into their black cars, the other cars were in the way. They honked and cussed but the guests' cars wouldn't move. Watching the fiasco from a large window upstairs, Mr. Shigo scowled.
Eriol had slowed down once in the local streets. The yellowish streetlights were on and the road was bare. It was already 1 am and no was on the streets. Tomoyo looked frightened. Eriol was quiet. Syaoran was silent as well. And as for Sakura, she just let the cool night or morning air breeze through her hair. Her hair was loose and in long wavy tangles. She closed her eyes and slid her head down onto Syaoran's lap. She propped up her feet on the car's door and let the light breeze run through the bottom hem of her dress. (The top was down and the window was down also.) She smiled and noticed that one of her shoes was missing. She had to admit she liked the shoes. They were ivory, like her dress and had rime stones on them, which sparkled under the streetlights. Syaoran absent-mindedly stroked her hair. Sakura was the first to speak.
"So where are we going?"
"We're gonna spend the night at a hotel. We can't risk going back to our homes. They might be there waiting for us." Eriol quietly spoke.
"Oh."
Eriol turned left and they all stared up at the tall white building. "Here we are. The best hotel in Tokyo."
"Don't you think we should keep it low?"
"Nonsense! We'll register under fake names." Eriol was about to go on when Sakura interrupted.
"My necklace! I still can't get it off! What do we do? They'll know I'm here!"
They all looked at her. Syaoran spoke first.
"You're right. We need to get it off. Eriol, park the car and lets get rooms. You'll have to stay with Tomoyo at all times. And try to get a room that's down stairs so you guys can have the quickest exit. We'll take the room upstairs so they'll come up and you guys will have a chance to escape. But for now, we need a rest."
Eriol nodded. Tomoyo just looked at Eriol with an uneasy look. Eriol stopped in front of the hotel. Everyone got off. When Eriol was about to drive off, Tomoyo stopped him.
"Where are you going?"
"Oh, don't worry, I'll be back in a couple of minutes. I need to go trash this car somewhere." Eriol smiled.
He drove off down the street.
Tomoyo, Sakura, and Syoaran went inside.
The inside was dimly lit but Sakura could still see the fancy decorations, the flowers, the expensive furniture, and the velvet curtains. Syaoran went to the counter and rang the bell. An irritated man in a robe came out.
"Yes?" His eyes were drowsy and droopy. He yawned.
"I know it's late and all but can we get some rooms?"
The man flipped through a large leather book. "Well, we are booked but we have two large sweets. That's all we have."
"All right, we'll take it." Syaoran whipped out his wallet and took out a gold credit card. After paying the man, the man handed Syoaran two keys.
"Room 714 is in the last floor, and Room 143 is on the third floor. Good night." The man yawned and disappeared behind a wooden door.
When Syaoran got to Tomoyo and Sakura, Eriol had joined them. They were sitting in a beautiful red sofa. Syaoran handed Tomoyo a gold key with a tag that read 143 in gold numbers.
"That's on the third floor."
"Ok." Tomoyo replied. "I'm tired, I'm going to bed."
"Uh.hello? Where are our keys?" Eriol asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Um.You're gonna have to share with Tomoyo or Sakura. They had only two large sweets so."
"Oh. OK.well I'm pooped. I'm going to bed. With bad guys chasing us, we do need our rest." Eriol quickly sprinted off to catch up with Tomoyo.
"Come on, I'm tired too." Sakura walked towards the elevator. Syaoran followed.
Inside the gold elevator (not real gold.haha.) Sakura leaned against the cool metal wall. Syaoran pressed floor 15. Instantly, the elevator started moving up. There was silence.
"How are you gonna get the necklace of me?" Sakura asked turning to Syaoran who had loosened his black tie. Sakura looked up and down at Syaoran. He really did look nice in a tux. The fact that his tie was loose and that his white shirt was a bit open gave him a rugged look. She hid a smile.
"I don't know. But we'll find a way." When Syaoran looked at Sakura, he noticed she was staring at him. "What? Why are you staring?"
Sakura blushed and turned away. Syaoran smirked.
"You should look at me longer. You'll never see me in a tux EVER again. So enjoy yourself while it lasts." Syaoran teased.
Sakura looked up with a pouty face and playfully punched him in the shoulder.
"Hmp! You are so conceited!" Sakura turned away.
Sakura felt a pair of strong arms snake around her waist. She knew it was him and leaned back. (Duh! Who else would it be? There's only two people in the elevator! Haha.)
"You know, you look beautiful." Syaoran rested his chin on top of her head. Sakura smiled and sighed. She closed her eyes and rested but quickly snapped back up when the little bell rang telling them that they had arrived. Sakura broke free from Syaoran's grip and went out into the large hallway.
"Come on! I'm tired." Sakura grabbed Syaoran's sleeve and pull him down the hall.
When Eriol and Tomoyo had gotten into their rooms, Tomoyo gasped at the beauty of the large room. She walked in and flicked on the lights. She saw that the room they were in was the living room. There were large plush white sofas and a glass coffee table in the middle. There was a small bar in the corner and a mini fridge. (Dang! Don't EVER eat stuff from those fridges. So expensive. Especially Macadamia Nuts.) Tomoyo walked into the bedroom. It had a large king size canopy bed. And there was a large TV in the room and a dresser with a huge mirror. She went into the bathroom and loved it. It was white. The tub was the size of large Jacuzzi. The marble sink had little shampoo bottles and soaps laid out on a white fluffy hand towel. (I LOVE THOSE MINI SOAPS AND STUFF! ::sigh::) The shower was small and had clear glass walls. (Those are so cool except you can see everything.eww.) Tomoyo smiled. (PS. I am not gonna decribe the toilet. ::shuders::)
"I love this hotel!" Tomoyo shouted to Eriol who was in the bedroom.
Eriol was sitting on the edge of the bed and had flicked on the TV. He mindlessly flipped through the channels.
"350 channels and nothing to watch!" Eril shouted back with dismay.
Tomoyo giggled coming out of the bathroom, drying her face with the soft towel. "Hehe.anyway, I'm tired. I'm going to bed." Tomoyo took off her shoes and was about to climb in when Eriol interrupted.
"Excuse me? Where do I sleep?" Eriol got up and and pouted with his hands on hip.
Tomoyo smiled. "The couch silly."
"And why should I get the couch?"
"Because you're supposed to be my guardian servant." Tomoyo giggled at Eriol's expression.
"Servant!? Maybe you should try guardian hero. Servant? No."
Tomoyo looked up with puppy dog eyes and her lower lip trembled.
"Aww.no.don't do that! Ahh." Eriol staggered back. Tomoyo approached him. Eriol kept walking backwards trying to get away from her gaze. When he was out the door, Tomoyo straightened and smiled.
"Good night Eriol!" Tomoyo turned and walked back into bed. She rested her head on the pillow and fell asleep. Eriol just sighed and smiled at Tomoyo's sleeping form.
Sakura looked around the large room. She didn't even bother turning on the light, she justwalked over to the white sofa and plopped down. She kicked off her remaing shoe and laid down.
"This really is a pretty room Syaoran. Anyway, you can get the bed. You did pay for the room and all." Sakura yawned. When she heard no answer, she got up. "Syaoran? Where are you? Don't do this. It isn't funny." Sakura tried to look for him in the dark. When she couldn't see a hing, she headed towards the light switch. When she turned on the lights, she turned around. She screamed when Syoaran popped up in front of her.
"Hoe!" She looked straight into a pair of amber eyes. He just smiled. "Don't do that! And it isn't funny! You almost scared me to death!" Sakura was still trying to catch her breath.
"Hehe.sorry.couldn't help myself. Anyway, go to bed. You're probablly really tired. You can take the bed."
"But you'll be uncomfortable on the couch?"
"I'll be fine." Syaoran smiled.
"Are you sure? What if you fall koff and break your arm and bad guys come in to kill me and you can't do anything about it since your arm's broken? The last time I checked, you're good at falling off couches." Sakura giggled.
Syaoran gave her a look before pushing her towards the bedroom. "Now go already! I'm tired."
"Good night Syaoran." Sakura walked off down the hall and went into the bathrrom. She quietly turned the lights on and turned the faucet. She wached her face and neck before toweling dry. She turned the lights off and went into the bed room. Pulling the covers back she slipped inside and was soon asleep.
Tomoyo's eyes opened and stared up at the dark ceiling. She checked her watch and saw it was 3 am in the morning. She got up and went down the hall into the living room. She smiled when she saw Eriol sleeping. She walked in closer to pull the blanket on the floor over him. When Tomoyo's hand was over his chest, Eriol placed his hand over hers. Tomoyo squeaked when she realized he was awake.
"I'm sorry. Did I wake you?" She whispered softly.
"No. It's fine." Eriol let go of her hand and got up. "Are you hungry? Cause I know I am."
Tomoyo blushed. "Yeah."
"Come on, I think we can sneak some food from the kitchen. Wherever that is." Eriol gave a grin.
"That's like stealing! And what if we get caught?"
"Come on. Where's your sense of adventure?"
"I had enough adventure for one night!"
Eriol smiled. "I know but we're hungry."
Tomoyo looked down. "Yeah."
When she looked up, she was surprised to feel Eriol's lips on hers. (MUAHAHAHAHA!) Her eyes widened and she pulled away. (awww.)
"What are you doing?" Tomoyo was numb from what had just happened.
"Kissing you. I think that's what they call it." Eriol gave a goofy smile.
"I know what a kiss is. Why are you doi-" She was cut off again when he kissed her again. (YAY!) This time, Tomoyo liked it and moved in closer.
"Hehe.someone likes kissing very much." Eriol teased inbetween kisses. When he pulled away, he hugged her tightly. Tomoyo just snuggled. "Come one! I'm starving!"
Tomoyo blushed and giggled. "Come one." They both went out the door and locked it. They walked down the hall and were standing in front of the elevator when the doors slid open. Sakura was leaning on the metal wall and had her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes, she smiled and looked at Eriol and Tomoyo.
"Hey guys. Hungry?"
"Yeah.where's Syaoran?" Eriol asked.
"Oh, he's sleeping.I think.I'm not sure. I just needed to eat soemthing. Decided to break into the kitchen." Sakura gave a evil grin.
"Hey, that's what we're doing!" Tomoyo piped up with a smile.
"Would you like to assist us in our mission?" Eriol raised an eye brow and asked in a serious expression.
"Why of course!" Sakura giggled and so did Tomoyo. Eriol got into the elevator after Tomyo did.
Syaoran was on the balcony looking down at the city. The morning air rushed through his hair. He sat on one of the chairs and closed his eyes. He had waken a couple of minutes ago and decided he needed air. When he opened his eyes again, he glanced at his watch. It was 3:45 am. He decided to check up on Sakura and went back inside the room. He walked over to the bed room and peeked in. The covers were thrown back and Sakura wasn't in bed.
"Great." he mumbled under his breath.
In the huge kitchen, Sakura, Tomoyo, and Eriol wandered around aimlessly in search of the pantry. Sakura walked around tracing her hands across the stainless steel kitchen tables where the chefs prepared their meals. When she opened a large metal fridge and saw all the food, she motioned for everyone to come over. They all saw left over pies, cakes, pudding, and other desserts.
"I guess they throw away all the meal foods. Oh well, I like dessert." Sakura delve into the fridge and proceeded in stuffing herself with pastry puffs, and apple pie. Tomoyo was eating a pieve of banana cream pie and had whip cream smeared all over her mouth. Eriol was eating a piece of fruit cake. Sakura stood their still stuffing herself with pastry puffs and looked over to Eriol and Tomoyo. Something was different. Tomoyo giggled and Eriol chuckled.
"Something happened." Sakura eyed the two of them suspiciously. "I hope you guys didn't."
"SAKURA-CHAN! NO!" Tomoyo looked kind of mad.
Sakura fell into a fit of laughter. "Hehe. I know but SOMETHING happened." Sakura was still looking at them with hawk eyes. They only nervously smiled and tried to look innocent. "Fine, but you know I'll find out. Anyway, we should get back." The two nodded. Sakura turned to the fridge for the last time. She brought up the edge of her dress to her waist, making a pouch. She dumped the rest of the pastry puffs into her dress and walked towards the door. She sheepishly smiled and turned to Tomoyo and Eriol. "Need to stalk up. Haha." They all laughed and went out into the hall towards the elevator.
Syaoran was pacing around the room and decided he had enough. He went to the front door and opened it before going out. He walked down the long hallway towards where the elevators were.
Sakura had dropped off Tomoyo and Eriol on the third floor and had arrived on her floor. She was walking down the hallway when she bumped into someone. The pastry puffs scattered all over the floor. Thinking it was a hotel server, Sakura quickly blurted out.
"I can explain!"
"You can?"
Sakura realized the teasing tone. She looked up and saw Syoaran.
"Explain."
"Oh, I was hungry so I decided to eat something and guess who I met on the way? Tomoyo and Eriol! Anyway, this place only had sweets in the fridge so.here I am." Sakura gathered the pastry puffs and got up. "Oh but we didn't get caught or anything."
"You do realize they have cameras here, don't you?" Syaoran looked at Sakura's flushed face.
"Oh great! Just great! You ruin everything. I was having a good time stuffing myself and you ruin it." Sakura sighed. She glared at Syaoran when he started laughing. "What's so funny?" Sakura snapped.
"You have.cream on your face!" Syaoran laughed.
Sakura quickly swiped her hand over her face and came back with cream. She pouted and turned to Syaoran. She smeared the cream all over his face and started laughing.
"Hey! That wasn't fair!" Syaoran cringed and started laughing.
Sakura knew he was gonna come after her so she ran past him down the hall and ran into their room. Syaoran was soon behind her. She ran into the bathroom and locked the door. Syoaran went to the bathroom door and knocked on it.
"I know you're in there! Come out!"
"No!" Sakura shouted back out laughing. "I'm gonna take a bath so go away!"
"Well, can I at least have a towel or something? My face feels cold and gooey." Syaoran tried to sound as pleading as possible.
"But you might do something! I can't take the risk."
"Please? It's starting to sting!"
"Hoe? Really?" Sakura at once unlocked the door and flung it open. She looked at Syoaran but he wasn't hurt in anyway. He was smiling and walking towards her. "Ooph! I knew you were lying!" Sakura threw a punch but he blocked it. He caught her fist and pulled her towards him. "I hate it when you do that! Let go!" Sakura pouted and glared at him. Her face was starting to turn red as she stared into his amber eyes. With her free hand, she leaned over and got a hand towel from the counter. She wiped the cream away from his face.
"Is that better?"
"Yes. Much better." He leaned in to kiss her but snapped back when he heard the living room door being pounded on.
They both ran into the living room and stared at the door. It was beaten and was on the verge of breaking from the hinges. When the doors broke down, men in navy blue jump suits and vest poured into the room. They had their laser guns pointed towards them.
"On my Gosh! They're here!" Sakura screamed at Syaoran through the confusion.
"No! It's not them! Look at their vests." Syaoran replied straitening himself up.
"What?!" Sakura looked at them. The vest had the letters TPD on them. "I don't get it." Sakura looked confused. When she realized she was captured, she tried to break free but Syaoran stopped her.
"Don't." He turned to he group. "I'm a police officer!"
"Where's you badge?" one of them asked in a mocking tone.
"My badge?" He checked his pocket but realized he left his badge in his apartment. "Damn! OK.I don't have it right now but it's in my apartment. If I could just go-"
"Yeah.whatever. Anyway, you both are under arrest."
"For what?!" Syoaran was out raged.
"For the murder of Daidouji Tomoyo."
"WHAT?!" Sakura and Syaoran shouted in surprised.
"I'm her best friend! Why the hell would I do that?!" Sakura was red with anger.
"Whatever the case may be, someone called half an hour ago and informed that Miss Daidouji was found dead in the streets. And that they saw you running off after you stabbed her."
"What??" Sakura was angry and confused. She looked at Syaoran. Syaoran took out his cell phone and dialed Eriol's number. The phone rang a couple of times before someone picked up.
"Eriol?? Where are you?? Where's Tomoyo?"
"Mr. LI, I'm glad you decided to give us a call. I assure you, Miss Daidouji is fine, but I believe I can't say the same for you friend. He's probably still on the hotel floor bleeding to death. Poor him. Oh well, I don't really care about him. Anyway, the little get away you made last night at my party completely ruined everyone's party spirit. Well, that's no matter. We managed to capture Miss Daidouji and that's all I care about. Oh yes, how are you enjoying your company with the police department. Murder was it? Oh yes, murder. Can you imagine that? Her best friend being murder by her closest friend. Don't you think it'll make a great cover story? I'll be the first one to in line to buy the magazine. Well, I must be going. I wouldn't want Miss Daidouji to get bored now do I? Have fun in jail with your girlfriend. Bye bye." The phone went dead and Syaoran closed the phone. Realizing Eriol was still hurt, Syaoran dialed 911.
"Yes, I have an emergency. Yes, the Tokyo Five Star Hotel. Floor 3, room 143. I don't know what happened but there's someone in there bleeding to death! Hurry!" Syaoran's heart was raising as he closed the phone and put it back in his pocket. He turned to Sakura whose eyes were wide.
"W-What d-do you mean b-bleeding to d-death?"
"They have Tomoyo. And Eriol's badly hurt. We gotta get down there." Syaoran was about to run out the door when the group of men stopped him.
"Where do you think you're going?" The man shoved Syaoran back.
"Move it or I'm gonna have to hurt you." Syaoran glared dangerously.
The man pointed his gun towards Syoaran's forehead. "Move and I'll shoot."
"Fine ok whatever! Just let us go to room 143."
The man eyes them both suspiciously but agreed. Sakura and Syaoran walked out of the room with handcuffs. The group entered the elevator and went to the third floor. When they got out and walked down the hall to Room 143, one of the men pushed the door open. Sakura gasped when she saw Eriol on the carpet floor with a puddle of blood under him. Couple of men rushed to the floor and turned him over. His white dress shirt was open and soaked in blood. One of the officers turned to Syaoran.
"He's been shot."
"Is he dead?"
The guy turned back and felt his pulse.
"No, but his pulse is extremely weak." He solemnly replied.
When the medics came, they immediately took the situation in and started by stopping the blood. After bandaging his side tight as possible, they put him in a stretched and rushed downstairs.
Sakura was crying and Syaoran was quiet. The men led the two to the elevator and they all went down into the lobby. When they got downstairs, the manager and al the staff were up and blinking in confusion. Sakura and Syaoran were pushed into the back of the police van once outside. All the people in the hotel had woken and were staring at them. The two police vans drove down the street flashing its red and blue lights and sounding the blaring noise through the streets. Drowned by the noise, they both quietly sat and thought.

The Intern
By: SourPop1004
When Sakura woke, she looked around. She tried to evoke what had happened last night but drew a blank. Last night wasn't the only thing that she couldn't remember. To her dismay, she couldn't remember what her name was. She tried getting up but was held down by ropes. Just then the door opened. Heero walked in with his brother.
"Hello there Sakura." His slimy voice drawled.
"S-Sakura? Is that me?" Sakura's voice squeaked. Heero looked at her with curious eyes.
Turning to his brother. "What the hell happened?"
"It's nothing serious. Apparently, the knockout smell the men used to put to sleep was overwhelming. I guess she can't drink, that's for sure. I was sure they used only a minimum amount but I guess she couldn't handle it. It's temporary amnesia. Her memory will come around eventually. But I don't care about her. Since she managed to safely hide Tomoyo-san away, we'll have to go with plan B. We'll blackmail."
"I'm sorry I'm even saying this but why are we doing this? Why do we have to? Can't just go on living happily? We're together now. Our parents aren't here to drive us apart?"
"Heero, I know but I'm doing this for us. If we can pull this off, think of all the money and happiness we'll have. Don't want this?"
"I-I guess."
"Good. Now don't bring it up again."
Couple of minutes passed while the room was silent. Heero looked at Sakura. She looked innocent and clueless. She looked at him and smiled. Heero was taken back because if Sakura were in her right mind, she'd spit at him and curse his name. He weakly smiled back. Breaking the silence, Heero began.
"So are we just gonna write a letter saying we have her?"
"No. We'll have a party. We'll invite Li-san and Daidouji-san. We'll show them that we have Sakura and that we'll trade her for Tomoyo. I think it'll be more interesting that way." Mr. Shigo just smiled wickedly. With that, he went out the door. "Do whatever you please with her. I don't care." The door shut. Heero only grinned at the thought of having Sakura for himself.
Sakura turned and looked up with emerald eyes. "Um.if it's not too much trouble, could you please take these ropes off? They're very uncomfortable." She smiled.
"Don't try anything funny." warned Heero.
"Why would I try anything?" She truly had no clue. Heero quickly moved behind the chair and undid the ties. When the ropes came loose, she gently stood up and stretched. She was still in her jeans and red Hurley. "So.who am I exactly. And who are you?"
"You're Kinomoto Sakura. I'm just.Heero. I'm your fiancée." Heero shut his eyes and waited for her reaction.
"Oh.hi Heero. I have a fiancée?" Sakura looked at him curiously.
"Yes."
"Oh. But what am I doing here?"
"This is my house. I invited you over for the weekend."
Heero thought about the party that his brother was going to throw. If only Sakura could stay this way until the party, Syoaran would flip if he saw. Heero's thoughts were interrupted when he felt Sakura's hand on his cheek.
"Did you get hurt?" She fingered his jaw line. There was a bruise. Of course, she had caused that when she had kicked him at the party.
Heero placed his hand over hers and closed his eyes. Sakura blushed. (eww.blushing at Heero.) When Heero opened his eyes, he let her hand go. He stepped back and stared at her. He could have taken advantage of her this minute. But surprisingly, a tiny little voice in the back of his head told him it was wrong. Since when did he care? Heero shook his head and walked towards the door. He would have died for Sakura to be his, but this wasn't it. She was his only because he told her she was. She wasn't doing it out of will. Actually, she was doing it in on her own free will but he knew if it weren't for the amnesia, he'd never come this close to her. He hated this odd feeling he had never felt before. When he made his way to the door, Sakura stopped him.
"What's the matter? Are you ok?" She placed her hands on his shoulder. He stood there frozen but quickly pushed her away and went out the door. Sakura just stared at the beautifully carved wooden doors.
***
Syaoran's cell phone rang loudly. Syaoran rolled to his side and moaned. He clutched the back of his head and tried to feel how it was. Luckily it wasn't bleeding but he had a massive migraine. He crawled to his phone and picked it up.
"What happened?"
"Yes." Syaoran felt the throbbing pain in the back of his head.
"Syaoran? You ok? You sound really tired or something." It was Eriol on the other line. "Is Sakura there with you?"
Syaoran's eyes widened. "Sakura!" He quickly got up and looked around his empty living room wildly.
"Shit! They took her!"
"What?!"
"Last night, I think I was bashed on the head or something cause I have a really bad head ache and Sakura's not here! Now what?" Syaoran was rapidly breathing. Obviously he was breaking down, which he rarely did.
"Ok. Calm down first. I think we shou-" Eriol was cut off when Syaoran heard a car outside.
"Wait Eriol, there's a car in front of my house."
Still holding the phone, Syaoran went outside. A flying envelope greeted him. Syaoran expertly caught it with one hand. Soon as he looked at it, the black car sped off.
"This black car came and gave me an envelope." Syaoran was puzzled.
"What does it say?" Eriol was anxious with excitement and fear at the same time.
"It says:
Mr. Li,
You are cordially invited to my dinner party, which will be held in two nights from the moment you get this letter. The party shall start at 7. Please dress formally. I know you want to save your precious friend. In order to do so, I need Miss Daidouji. So I suggest you bring Miss Daidouji with you. If you inform other authorities or tell anyone about this party, I assure you Miss Kinomoto will be unhappy. And when I say unhappy, I mean she'll be unhappy for she will be dead. But let us not talk about unpleasant things. So I assume you are attending. I look forward to your coming.
Sincerely,
Shigo
And there's an address at the end." Syaoran's blood was running cold.
"He didn't mention me at the party. I'll sneak in and help you. I'm afraid you're gonna have to obey and take Tomoyo with you if you want to save Sakura."
"Right. I'll call you later." With that Syaoran hung up.
Once inside, he paced around the living room picking up various objects and putting them back in place. His eyebrows furrowed together when he thought of Sakura.
***
Sakura sat in a chair and stared out the window. The sky was bright blue and the sun was shining. She sighed when she couldn't remember anything at all. When her thoughts turned to frustration, she stood up and went to the door. She opened it and walked out into the corridor.
Once outside, she wandered aimlessly and found a large beautiful staircase. She carefully went down the stairs. She had no clue where she was going but somehow she had managed to find the kitchen. She looked around and found a fridge. When she opened it, it had a beer six-pack and some sodas. She picked a soda up and went towards the kitchen table. She pulled up a chair and say quietly. Sipping her soda, she looked around the large white room. Suddenly, a velvety voice came from the entrance.
"I see you have found the kitchen. Sorry there's not much food." Mr. Shigo smiled at Sakura. "So do you have any idea who you are my dear?"
Sakura looked down at the clear glass table. "Um.I know I'm Kinomoto Sakura and that Heero's my fiancée. That's all I know so far."
Heero's brother's eyes widened. Fiance? What was his little brother up to? His expression quickly switched to a more composed one.
"Well, I just wanted to tell you that there's going to be a dinner party in two days. So I suggest you and Heero go find a dress." Mr. Shigo replied and walked away to find his brother.
Sakura sat staring at Mr. Shigo's back.
***
Heero was in the garden staring up at the sky with his hands behind him. A cool voice came from behind.
"Fiancée? Very interesting."
Heero glared at him. "Don't mock me."
Mr. Shigo only laughed lightly. "I came to tell you to go pick out an attire for Miss Kinomoto for the party. It'll be in two days."
"But won't she get away?"
"From what I've seen, I think she'll be clueless until the party. Don't worry. We have the tracker on her." Shigo smiled.
Heero only nodded and went inside the huge mansion.
***
Heero was holding Sakura's hand and leading her around the Tokyo Mall. At various points guards stood to look after Heero incase Sakura tried to escape. Sakura only smiled and followed Heero into a fancy dress shop.
On the other side of the mall, Tomoyo was walking around with a notepad and pen.
"So why are we here exactly?" Eriol gave her a look.
Tomoyo giggled. "Well, even if I have high possibility of being kidnapped, I have got to keep working you know? I look around the mall in various fashion shops and take notes on their styles, fabric, design, and the usual." Tomoyo smiled up the tall man with glasses.
"Right." he trailed off, too busy staring at Tomoyo to actually listen to what she was saying.
"Hello?" Tomoyo waved her hand in front of his face. "Earth to Eriol-kun!" When Eriol snapped back, Tomoyo giggled.
"Ok, so, where are we off to now?"
"Oh! There's this store I really like. I don't buy anything from there but I love looking at the dresses. It's over there." Tomoyo pointed a shop with clear glass windows with elegant dresses posed. Tomoyo grabbed Eriol's hand and ran towards the shop.
Sakura came out in a long gray dress. The whole gown clung to her figure. Her back was bare but had a large gray bow just at the bottom ending of the slit. The bow had two long cloths that dragged on the floor. (I don't know if you guys can picture it but please try.) She stepped onto the platform and studied the dress in the three full-length mirrors. She turned to Heero with questioning eyes.
"What do you think?"
"Try something else." In actuality, he didn't care what she wore. She looked beautiful in anything.
After a few minutes, She came back out in an ivory dress. It had a tight fitting halter-top. But as the dress proceeds down, the bottom half was tight around her legs. It was like the gray dress except the dress trailed with ribbons tying the heavy garment every so often. (Ok, if you can't picture this one, think of the dress Meg Ryan wore in the movie Kate & Loepald. You know the grayish blue one that she wore at the way end? It looked like a slinky type dress from the front but when she turned sideways, the dress was really long. I loved that movie. Leopald is such the ideal guy. ::sigh::) She slowly turned to see how it was. She loved it. She turned to Heero and asked.
"How's this one?"
"I like it. Let's get it." He smiled. How he loved this feeling. It felt like they were a real couple. While in truth they were not.
The saleswoman packed the dress in a large silver box and smiled handing it to Sakura.
"Thank you." Sakura smiled sweetly.
They both were almost out the door when Sakura bumped into a girl. Sakura's box fell to the floor. The girl with long violet hair got up and helped Sakura up. Tomoyo bent down and picked up the box and brushed the dust off.
"Here. I'm really sorry." Tomoyo looked up and handed Sakura the box. Tomoyo's eyes widened. "Sakura?"
"Um.yes? That's me. Do I know you?" Sakura smiled.
"Sakura, it's me, Tomo-" Tomoyo was cut off by Eriol's hand on her mouth.
"Chi. Tomochi. She's my.uh.girlfriend." Eriol looked down at Tomoyo and warned her to stay put. Tomoyo didn't know what was happening but understood that something must be up. Eriol had his serious eyes.
"Nice to meet you Tomochi." (Hhahaha.hillarious.) Sakura put out a hand and Tomoyo shook it.
"We've got to be going." Heero gruffly pulled her away. Sakura helplessly waved at Eriol and Tomoyo. Heero and Sakura disappeared into the crowd.
Eriol and Tomoyo were both in the parking lot. Tomoyo was a bit angry.
"What was that about? Why wouldn't you let me talk to Sakura?" Tomoyo had a look of worry.
"Ok. I called Syaoran this morning and he told me that they took Sakura."
Tomoyo gasped.
"I know.anyway, that guy she was with, He's Mr. Shigo's brother. If you gave your name away, he would have taken you too. and as for Sakura, something's not right. She didn't fight him or anything. And she didn't know who you were." Eriol opened his car and got inside.
"Yeah.well what are we going to do? I need to help Sakura." Tomoyo proceeded to climb into the car as well.
"Well, obviously, she was the shop to buy a dress. Syaoran got an invitation to one of Shigo's dinner parties. He has Sakura for hostage. He wants to trade her in for you. But that's not gonna happen. You'll just have to go with Syaoran to the party and we can rescue Sakura. We don't have to hand you to him."
Tomoyo gasped for the second time.
"Don't worry, I'm doing to go as back up. In the invitation, Shigo didn't invite me and there's no reason for him to know me, so I'll be there to back up Syaoran."
"Right." Tomoyo had a look of determination. "I know we can do it."
Eriol smiled and sped out of the parking lot. He headed towards Syaoran's apartment to tell him what had happened.
***
Sakura looked out at the starry night sky. The dark velvet of night covered the sky in an elegant way. The stars looked like diamond studs on the heaven above. She was dressed in her ivory dress with the same colored high heels. Her hair was put up in an elegant French twist with random strands of hair cascading down all around her face. She continued to gaze at the night sky. It had been two days and she still couldn't understand who she was. Names and titles wasn't what she was hoping to find out. She wanted to know herself. Frustration was starting to creep up her spine. She quickly turned away from the large window and walked over to an over-stuffed chair. She gently sat and looked around. Candles and a large crystal chandelier in the center of the room brilliantly lighted the large ballroom. Something in the back of her mind was starting to twinkle. A flash back of a beautiful room on a boat crossed her closed eyes. She didn't understand what that meant, but she knew by the end of the night she'd find herself again. She was unconsiousnly fingering her diamond necklace. Breaking her train of thoughts, Heero walked into the empty room. Sakura turned and smiled. There was something about Heero that Sakura was starting to question. Was he really who he said to be?
"Hi." Sakura's voice was small and polite.
"The guests will be arriving soon." He curtly replied and turned away.
***
"I'm leaving!" Syaoran bellowed from downstairs.
"Coming!" Tomoyo picked up her dress and ran down the stairs. "Let's go!"
Tomoyo smiled and took Eriol's offering hand. They smiled at each other. They both knew tonight will be difficult and dangerous. The three of them silently walked out of Syaoran's apartment.
***
The guest had started arriving. The ballroom was now full of men and women formally dressed in beautiful dresses and tuxedos. The room bustled with happy chatter. Sakura sat in one corner of the room and observed the people. There were people from various countries. Her eyes wandered to a slender woman in her late 40s with short brown hair. Sakura had a feeling in her stomach that she knew that woman but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
On the other side of the room, Syaoran and Tomoyo were coming in through the large wooden doors. After checking with the guards, they were both escorted into the ballroom. Syaoran and Tomoyo quickly dissolved into the large crowd of people. They were both scanning the room for Sakura. Just then, Syaoran's silver cell phone rang.
"Yes?"
"Well Mr. Li, I'm glad you could make it. And I'm pleased that you have brought Miss Daidouji with you. From this moment on, you are playing in my ballpark so I suggest you don't attempt anything. I can see you are looking for Miss Kinomoto. Well, you'll see her tonight. For now, I suggest you dance. Tonight will be fun." Syaoran's phone hung up. Syaoran didn't like the way Mr. Shigo emphasized the word fun.
"Tomoyo, He knows we're here. That was him on the phone. He wants us to dance. I think it'd be wise for us to do as we are told for the time being."
Tomoyo solemnly nodded. The orchestra started to play and the whole room went into a waltz. Couples were whirling and twirling in a synchronized motion. Syaoran quickly hopped in and tried to follow what to do. Tomoyo was much better at it. Her dark purple dress swirled along with her long wavy violet hair. Every so often, the partners changed. Syaoran watched Tomoyo carefully. After a few minutes, Syaoran had perfectly learned how to waltz. When his partners changed, he was surprised to be looking down at Sakura.
"Sakura!" he whispered.
"Yes?" Sakura looked up with a blank expression.
"Are you alright? Did that bastard do anything to you?" Syaoran had a hint of anger in his voice but he genuinely looked worried. He looked at her up and down to check if she was hurt in any way.
"Why wouldn't I be, sir? And I do not appreciate you looking at me like that." Sakura replied sharply.
"What? Are you alright?"
"I'm perfectly fine." The song slowed and came to an end. "If you'll excuse me, my fiancée is over there." Sakura started to walk away.
"Fiancée? What?!" Syaoran grabbed her arm and made her look at him. Their little encounter was oblivious to the rest since they were all laughing and talking. Sakura swirled around and stared into his amber eyes.
"Let me go!" Sakura tried to yank her arm away from Syaoran. But Syoaran just grabbed her harder.
"I don't know what's up with you but we are LEAVING!" Syaoran led Sakura towards the entrance but was stopped in the center of the room.
The crowd fell silent. Heero was approaching them with a gun at hand. When a few feet from Syaoran, He raised his hands and pointed the gun in front of Syaoran's face. The people gasped and some screamed.
"Let her go or I'll kill you." Heero sneered.
Syaoran just stared coldly. But the next thing he knew, he was staring at the back of Sakura's head.
"Heero, please. Don't do this. Put the gun down." Sakura pleaded.
"No! Now move aside. I wanted to kill him since the first day I met him. And I will. So now MOVE!" Heero's voice was rising higher and higher.
"NO! I don't know this man but you will NOT kill him!" Sakura was surprised by her outburst but she felt a need to protect this man.
Heero's mind was racing. Even when she was suffering from amnesia, she had some sort of bond with Syaoran. He hated the thought of it. This was his only chance for Sakura to actually care for him. But now it was falling apart. And to think this was all because of Syaoran. Of course, it wasn't but what else can an over-jealous man think? Out of reaction, he slapped her face. The slap echoed through the silent room.
Syaoran quickly turned to Sakura. "Are you ok?" He glared up at Heero and was about to lunge at him when Sakura's hand stopped him.
"Don't." Sakura's cheek stung with pain. And to enhance the effect, her cheeks were wet with tears. She found herself in a wild dream state. She saw herself in a beautiful yacht with a group of scared people cowering in one corner. Heero was wearing a cap and she was in a black dress. She distinctively remembered the hot stinging slap he had given her. Yes, it was all coming back to her as if she was falling back into her world. When her memories came back, she realized what had happened. Heero her fiancée? Ha! Never in a million years. Coming back from her thoughts, she realized the whole room was silent with fear. She raised her pretty head and looked at Heero. He had a look of fear and anger. She straightened herself out and wiped away her last tear. Her gazed quickly turned into a glare.
"You shouldn't have done that. That way, I could've have stayed clueless to the fact that you aren't my fiancé and you could've have done anything you wanted with me. I could have been your perfect girlfriend that would have done anything you asked knowing nothing of my actually life and why I was here in the first place. I pity you Heero. I truly do. You could have been a better person. I know you are a better person inside, but why do you choose to join your brother? I know and I'm sure you know that your so- called brother doesn't give a damn about you. I stayed in this house for only a couple of days and right away I can see he doesn't care. You're just another man to do the dirty job. Except you don't have to get paid. He knows you'd do anything for him in a heartbeat. And when you question him, he puts on his fake mask and uses your parent's divorce for a reason for you two to stick together. I think you were better off with your mother. You don't need a brother that takes advantages of you." Sakura gave Heero a hard gaze. Heero was taken back by her words. He didn't want to believe them but he knew. They were true.
Seeing his guard was down, Sakura quickly snatched the gun away from him. Instantly, the guards sprang forward to attack. Syaoran grabbed Sakura once more and dashed towards the door. Constantly dodging every turn, Sakura and Syaoran managed to make it out the front door. They both heard bullets speeding by, barely missing them. Plant pots shattered, the dirt in the driveway kicked up with every blow, and expensive cars were punctured with holes. As the two dashed, they saw Tomoyo in Eriol's convertible. The top was down so the best think they could have thought of was to jump in. Once they landed safely inside the car, Eriol, in the driver's seat, rapidly turned the car around to face the main entrance to the driveway. To their dismay, the gate was closed, and the guards were approaching. Eriol quickly stepped on the gas and rammed into the gate. After a couple of tries, the gate fell loosely to the ground. Taking the chance, Eriol sped forward and roared out of the estate. He drove furiously going over a 100-mph.
When the guards got into their black cars, the other cars were in the way. They honked and cussed but the guests' cars wouldn't move. Watching the fiasco from a large window upstairs, Mr. Shigo scowled.
Eriol had slowed down once in the local streets. The yellowish streetlights were on and the road was bare. It was already 1 am and no was on the streets. Tomoyo looked frightened. Eriol was quiet. Syaoran was silent as well. And as for Sakura, she just let the cool night or morning air breeze through her hair. Her hair was loose and in long wavy tangles. She closed her eyes and slid her head down onto Syaoran's lap. She propped up her feet on the car's door and let the light breeze run through the bottom hem of her dress. (The top was down and the window was down also.) She smiled and noticed that one of her shoes was missing. She had to admit she liked the shoes. They were ivory, like her dress and had rime stones on them, which sparkled under the streetlights. Syaoran absent-mindedly stroked her hair. Sakura was the first to speak.
"So where are we going?"
"We're gonna spend the night at a hotel. We can't risk going back to our homes. They might be there waiting for us." Eriol quietly spoke.
"Oh."
Eriol turned left and they all stared up at the tall white building. "Here we are. The best hotel in Tokyo."
"Don't you think we should keep it low?"
"Nonsense! We'll register under fake names." Eriol was about to go on when Sakura interrupted.
"My necklace! I still can't get it off! What do we do? They'll know I'm here!"
They all looked at her. Syaoran spoke first.
"You're right. We need to get it off. Eriol, park the car and lets get rooms. You'll have to stay with Tomoyo at all times. And try to get a room that's down stairs so you guys can have the quickest exit. We'll take the room upstairs so they'll come up and you guys will have a chance to escape. But for now, we need a rest."
Eriol nodded. Tomoyo just looked at Eriol with an uneasy look. Eriol stopped in front of the hotel. Everyone got off. When Eriol was about to drive off, Tomoyo stopped him.
"Where are you going?"
"Oh, don't worry, I'll be back in a couple of minutes. I need to go trash this car somewhere." Eriol smiled.
He drove off down the street.
Tomoyo, Sakura, and Syoaran went inside.
The inside was dimly lit but Sakura could still see the fancy decorations, the flowers, the expensive furniture, and the velvet curtains. Syaoran went to the counter and rang the bell. An irritated man in a robe came out.
"Yes?" His eyes were drowsy and droopy. He yawned.
"I know it's late and all but can we get some rooms?"
The man flipped through a large leather book. "Well, we are booked but we have two large sweets. That's all we have."
"All right, we'll take it." Syaoran whipped out his wallet and took out a gold credit card. After paying the man, the man handed Syoaran two keys.
"Room 714 is in the last floor, and Room 143 is on the third floor. Good night." The man yawned and disappeared behind a wooden door.
When Syaoran got to Tomoyo and Sakura, Eriol had joined them. They were sitting in a beautiful red sofa. Syaoran handed Tomoyo a gold key with a tag that read 143 in gold numbers.
"That's on the third floor."
"Ok." Tomoyo replied. "I'm tired, I'm going to bed."
"Uh.hello? Where are our keys?" Eriol asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Um.You're gonna have to share with Tomoyo or Sakura. They had only two large sweets so."
"Oh. OK.well I'm pooped. I'm going to bed. With bad guys chasing us, we do need our rest." Eriol quickly sprinted off to catch up with Tomoyo.
"Come on, I'm tired too." Sakura walked towards the elevator. Syaoran followed.
Inside the gold elevator (not real gold.haha.) Sakura leaned against the cool metal wall. Syaoran pressed floor 15. Instantly, the elevator started moving up. There was silence.
"How are you gonna get the necklace of me?" Sakura asked turning to Syaoran who had loosened his black tie. Sakura looked up and down at Syaoran. He really did look nice in a tux. The fact that his tie was loose and that his white shirt was a bit open gave him a rugged look. She hid a smile.
"I don't know. But we'll find a way." When Syaoran looked at Sakura, he noticed she was staring at him. "What? Why are you staring?"
Sakura blushed and turned away. Syaoran smirked.
"You should look at me longer. You'll never see me in a tux EVER again. So enjoy yourself while it lasts." Syaoran teased.
Sakura looked up with a pouty face and playfully punched him in the shoulder.
"Hmp! You are so conceited!" Sakura turned away.
Sakura felt a pair of strong arms snake around her waist. She knew it was him and leaned back. (Duh! Who else would it be? There's only two people in the elevator! Haha.)
"You know, you look beautiful." Syaoran rested his chin on top of her head. Sakura smiled and sighed. She closed her eyes and rested but quickly snapped back up when the little bell rang telling them that they had arrived. Sakura broke free from Syaoran's grip and went out into the large hallway.
"Come on! I'm tired." Sakura grabbed Syaoran's sleeve and pull him down the hall.
When Eriol and Tomoyo had gotten into their rooms, Tomoyo gasped at the beauty of the large room. She walked in and flicked on the lights. She saw that the room they were in was the living room. There were large plush white sofas and a glass coffee table in the middle. There was a small bar in the corner and a mini fridge. (Dang! Don't EVER eat stuff from those fridges. So expensive. Especially Macadamia Nuts.) Tomoyo walked into the bedroom. It had a large king size canopy bed. And there was a large TV in the room and a dresser with a huge mirror. She went into the bathroom and loved it. It was white. The tub was the size of large Jacuzzi. The marble sink had little shampoo bottles and soaps laid out on a white fluffy hand towel. (I LOVE THOSE MINI SOAPS AND STUFF! ::sigh::) The shower was small and had clear glass walls. (Those are so cool except you can see everything.eww.) Tomoyo smiled. (PS. I am not gonna decribe the toilet. ::shuders::)
"I love this hotel!" Tomoyo shouted to Eriol who was in the bedroom.
Eriol was sitting on the edge of the bed and had flicked on the TV. He mindlessly flipped through the channels.
"350 channels and nothing to watch!" Eril shouted back with dismay.
Tomoyo giggled coming out of the bathroom, drying her face with the soft towel. "Hehe.anyway, I'm tired. I'm going to bed." Tomoyo took off her shoes and was about to climb in when Eriol interrupted.
"Excuse me? Where do I sleep?" Eriol got up and and pouted with his hands on hip.
Tomoyo smiled. "The couch silly."
"And why should I get the couch?"
"Because you're supposed to be my guardian servant." Tomoyo giggled at Eriol's expression.
"Servant!? Maybe you should try guardian hero. Servant? No."
Tomoyo looked up with puppy dog eyes and her lower lip trembled.
"Aww.no.don't do that! Ahh." Eriol staggered back. Tomoyo approached him. Eriol kept walking backwards trying to get away from her gaze. When he was out the door, Tomoyo straightened and smiled.
"Good night Eriol!" Tomoyo turned and walked back into bed. She rested her head on the pillow and fell asleep. Eriol just sighed and smiled at Tomoyo's sleeping form.
Sakura looked around the large room. She didn't even bother turning on the light, she justwalked over to the white sofa and plopped down. She kicked off her remaing shoe and laid down.
"This really is a pretty room Syaoran. Anyway, you can get the bed. You did pay for the room and all." Sakura yawned. When she heard no answer, she got up. "Syaoran? Where are you? Don't do this. It isn't funny." Sakura tried to look for him in the dark. When she couldn't see a hing, she headed towards the light switch. When she turned on the lights, she turned around. She screamed when Syoaran popped up in front of her.
"Hoe!" She looked straight into a pair of amber eyes. He just smiled. "Don't do that! And it isn't funny! You almost scared me to death!" Sakura was still trying to catch her breath.
"Hehe.sorry.couldn't help myself. Anyway, go to bed. You're probablly really tired. You can take the bed."
"But you'll be uncomfortable on the couch?"
"I'll be fine." Syaoran smiled.
"Are you sure? What if you fall koff and break your arm and bad guys come in to kill me and you can't do anything about it since your arm's broken? The last time I checked, you're good at falling off couches." Sakura giggled.
Syaoran gave her a look before pushing her towards the bedroom. "Now go already! I'm tired."
"Good night Syaoran." Sakura walked off down the hall and went into the bathrrom. She quietly turned the lights on and turned the faucet. She wached her face and neck before toweling dry. She turned the lights off and went into the bed room. Pulling the covers back she slipped inside and was soon asleep.
Tomoyo's eyes opened and stared up at the dark ceiling. She checked her watch and saw it was 3 am in the morning. She got up and went down the hall into the living room. She smiled when she saw Eriol sleeping. She walked in closer to pull the blanket on the floor over him. When Tomoyo's hand was over his chest, Eriol placed his hand over hers. Tomoyo squeaked when she realized he was awake.
"I'm sorry. Did I wake you?" She whispered softly.
"No. It's fine." Eriol let go of her hand and got up. "Are you hungry? Cause I know I am."
Tomoyo blushed. "Yeah."
"Come on, I think we can sneak some food from the kitchen. Wherever that is." Eriol gave a grin.
"That's like stealing! And what if we get caught?"
"Come on. Where's your sense of adventure?"
"I had enough adventure for one night!"
Eriol smiled. "I know but we're hungry."
Tomoyo looked down. "Yeah."
When she looked up, she was surprised to feel Eriol's lips on hers. (MUAHAHAHAHA!) Her eyes widened and she pulled away. (awww.)
"What are you doing?" Tomoyo was numb from what had just happened.
"Kissing you. I think that's what they call it." Eriol gave a goofy smile.
"I know what a kiss is. Why are you doi-" She was cut off again when he kissed her again. (YAY!) This time, Tomoyo liked it and moved in closer.
"Hehe.someone likes kissing very much." Eriol teased inbetween kisses. When he pulled away, he hugged her tightly. Tomoyo just snuggled. "Come one! I'm starving!"
Tomoyo blushed and giggled. "Come one." They both went out the door and locked it. They walked down the hall and were standing in front of the elevator when the doors slid open. Sakura was leaning on the metal wall and had her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes, she smiled and looked at Eriol and Tomoyo.
"Hey guys. Hungry?"
"Yeah.where's Syaoran?" Eriol asked.
"Oh, he's sleeping.I think.I'm not sure. I just needed to eat soemthing. Decided to break into the kitchen." Sakura gave a evil grin.
"Hey, that's what we're doing!" Tomoyo piped up with a smile.
"Would you like to assist us in our mission?" Eriol raised an eye brow and asked in a serious expression.
"Why of course!" Sakura giggled and so did Tomoyo. Eriol got into the elevator after Tomyo did.
Syaoran was on the balcony looking down at the city. The morning air rushed through his hair. He sat on one of the chairs and closed his eyes. He had waken a couple of minutes ago and decided he needed air. When he opened his eyes again, he glanced at his watch. It was 3:45 am. He decided to check up on Sakura and went back inside the room. He walked over to the bed room and peeked in. The covers were thrown back and Sakura wasn't in bed.
"Great." he mumbled under his breath.
In the huge kitchen, Sakura, Tomoyo, and Eriol wandered around aimlessly in search of the pantry. Sakura walked around tracing her hands across the stainless steel kitchen tables where the chefs prepared their meals. When she opened a large metal fridge and saw all the food, she motioned for everyone to come over. They all saw left over pies, cakes, pudding, and other desserts.
"I guess they throw away all the meal foods. Oh well, I like dessert." Sakura delve into the fridge and proceeded in stuffing herself with pastry puffs, and apple pie. Tomoyo was eating a pieve of banana cream pie and had whip cream smeared all over her mouth. Eriol was eating a piece of fruit cake. Sakura stood their still stuffing herself with pastry puffs and looked over to Eriol and Tomoyo. Something was different. Tomoyo giggled and Eriol chuckled.
"Something happened." Sakura eyed the two of them suspiciously. "I hope you guys didn't."
"SAKURA-CHAN! NO!" Tomoyo looked kind of mad.
Sakura fell into a fit of laughter. "Hehe. I know but SOMETHING happened." Sakura was still looking at them with hawk eyes. They only nervously smiled and tried to look innocent. "Fine, but you know I'll find out. Anyway, we should get back." The two nodded. Sakura turned to the fridge for the last time. She brought up the edge of her dress to her waist, making a pouch. She dumped the rest of the pastry puffs into her dress and walked towards the door. She sheepishly smiled and turned to Tomoyo and Eriol. "Need to stalk up. Haha." They all laughed and went out into the hall towards the elevator.
Syaoran was pacing around the room and decided he had enough. He went to the front door and opened it before going out. He walked down the long hallway towards where the elevators were.
Sakura had dropped off Tomoyo and Eriol on the third floor and had arrived on her floor. She was walking down the hallway when she bumped into someone. The pastry puffs scattered all over the floor. Thinking it was a hotel server, Sakura quickly blurted out.
"I can explain!"
"You can?"
Sakura realized the teasing tone. She looked up and saw Syoaran.
"Explain."
"Oh, I was hungry so I decided to eat something and guess who I met on the way? Tomoyo and Eriol! Anyway, this place only had sweets in the fridge so.here I am." Sakura gathered the pastry puffs and got up. "Oh but we didn't get caught or anything."
"You do realize they have cameras here, don't you?" Syaoran looked at Sakura's flushed face.
"Oh great! Just great! You ruin everything. I was having a good time stuffing myself and you ruin it." Sakura sighed. She glared at Syaoran when he started laughing. "What's so funny?" Sakura snapped.
"You have.cream on your face!" Syaoran laughed.
Sakura quickly swiped her hand over her face and came back with cream. She pouted and turned to Syaoran. She smeared the cream all over his face and started laughing.
"Hey! That wasn't fair!" Syaoran cringed and started laughing.
Sakura knew he was gonna come after her so she ran past him down the hall and ran into their room. Syaoran was soon behind her. She ran into the bathroom and locked the door. Syoaran went to the bathroom door and knocked on it.
"I know you're in there! Come out!"
"No!" Sakura shouted back out laughing. "I'm gonna take a bath so go away!"
"Well, can I at least have a towel or something? My face feels cold and gooey." Syaoran tried to sound as pleading as possible.
"But you might do something! I can't take the risk."
"Please? It's starting to sting!"
"Hoe? Really?" Sakura at once unlocked the door and flung it open. She looked at Syoaran but he wasn't hurt in anyway. He was smiling and walking towards her. "Ooph! I knew you were lying!" Sakura threw a punch but he blocked it. He caught her fist and pulled her towards him. "I hate it when you do that! Let go!" Sakura pouted and glared at him. Her face was starting to turn red as she stared into his amber eyes. With her free hand, she leaned over and got a hand towel from the counter. She wiped the cream away from his face.
"Is that better?"
"Yes. Much better." He leaned in to kiss her but snapped back when he heard the living room door being pounded on.
They both ran into the living room and stared at the door. It was beaten and was on the verge of breaking from the hinges. When the doors broke down, men in navy blue jump suits and vest poured into the room. They had their laser guns pointed towards them.
"On my Gosh! They're here!" Sakura screamed at Syaoran through the confusion.
"No! It's not them! Look at their vests." Syaoran replied straitening himself up.
"What?!" Sakura looked at them. The vest had the letters TPD on them. "I don't get it." Sakura looked confused. When she realized she was captured, she tried to break free but Syaoran stopped her.
"Don't." He turned to he group. "I'm a police officer!"
"Where's you badge?" one of them asked in a mocking tone.
"My badge?" He checked his pocket but realized he left his badge in his apartment. "Damn! OK.I don't have it right now but it's in my apartment. If I could just go-"
"Yeah.whatever. Anyway, you both are under arrest."
"For what?!" Syoaran was out raged.
"For the murder of Daidouji Tomoyo."
"WHAT?!" Sakura and Syaoran shouted in surprised.
"I'm her best friend! Why the hell would I do that?!" Sakura was red with anger.
"Whatever the case may be, someone called half an hour ago and informed that Miss Daidouji was found dead in the streets. And that they saw you running off after you stabbed her."
"What??" Sakura was angry and confused. She looked at Syaoran. Syaoran took out his cell phone and dialed Eriol's number. The phone rang a couple of times before someone picked up.
"Eriol?? Where are you?? Where's Tomoyo?"
"Mr. LI, I'm glad you decided to give us a call. I assure you, Miss Daidouji is fine, but I believe I can't say the same for you friend. He's probably still on the hotel floor bleeding to death. Poor him. Oh well, I don't really care about him. Anyway, the little get away you made last night at my party completely ruined everyone's party spirit. Well, that's no matter. We managed to capture Miss Daidouji and that's all I care about. Oh yes, how are you enjoying your company with the police department. Murder was it? Oh yes, murder. Can you imagine that? Her best friend being murder by her closest friend. Don't you think it'll make a great cover story? I'll be the first one to in line to buy the magazine. Well, I must be going. I wouldn't want Miss Daidouji to get bored now do I? Have fun in jail with your girlfriend. Bye bye." The phone went dead and Syaoran closed the phone. Realizing Eriol was still hurt, Syaoran dialed 911.
"Yes, I have an emergency. Yes, the Tokyo Five Star Hotel. Floor 3, room 143. I don't know what happened but there's someone in there bleeding to death! Hurry!" Syaoran's heart was raising as he closed the phone and put it back in his pocket. He turned to Sakura whose eyes were wide.
"W-What d-do you mean b-bleeding to d-death?"
"They have Tomoyo. And Eriol's badly hurt. We gotta get down there." Syaoran was about to run out the door when the group of men stopped him.
"Where do you think you're going?" The man shoved Syaoran back.
"Move it or I'm gonna have to hurt you." Syaoran glared dangerously.
The man pointed his gun towards Syoaran's forehead. "Move and I'll shoot."
"Fine ok whatever! Just let us go to room 143."
The man eyes them both suspiciously but agreed. Sakura and Syaoran walked out of the room with handcuffs. The group entered the elevator and went to the third floor. When they got out and walked down the hall to Room 143, one of the men pushed the door open. Sakura gasped when she saw Eriol on the carpet floor with a puddle of blood under him. Couple of men rushed to the floor and turned him over. His white dress shirt was open and soaked in blood. One of the officers turned to Syaoran.
"He's been shot."
"Is he dead?"
The guy turned back and felt his pulse.
"No, but his pulse is extremely weak." He solemnly replied.
When the medics came, they immediately took the situation in and started by stopping the blood. After bandaging his side tight as possible, they put him in a stretched and rushed downstairs.
Sakura was crying and Syaoran was quiet. The men led the two to the elevator and they all went down into the lobby. When they got downstairs, the manager and al the staff were up and blinking in confusion. Sakura and Syaoran were pushed into the back of the police van once outside. All the people in the hotel had woken and were staring at them. The two police vans drove down the street flashing its red and blue lights and sounding the blaring noise through the streets. Drowned by the noise, they both quietly sat and thought.
