Chapter 10
Madison runs into the kitchen and sees Meilin digging through the fridge for some food and Eli sitting on the counter making fun of her.
"I need to speak with you both right now, in private." Says Madison as she begins to notice everyone else in the house is waking up as well.
Meilin and Eli nod and follow Madison. They go outside and into the Zen garden.
"Madison what do you need to speak to us about?" asks Eli as they sit by a coi pond.
"Ok I went to visit Skaura and she was asleep, she had something in her hands so I took it and read the front. I think Sakura is pregnant."
"Maybe she was just doing an assignment for school?" says Meilin.
Eli shakes his head, "Nope Li told me this morning that Sakura only has english and combat class this semester."
"Ok ok, say she is p.g. what is she going to do? Li won't let her come into fights anymore, and he will get even more protective. His mother really won't like this either." Says Madison as she plays with the water in the pond.
"Your right, our aunt is really going to hate this a lot. Granted she did grow to like Sakura a low but a baby will really upset that. The murder, the heart it's Fóo she used to rip out the hearts and dye them black. Is she back?" says Meilin looking at Madison and Eli.
"You finally remembered. No doubt she has already tried to contact Sakura," starts Eli.
"But Sakura wouldn't know who she is." Says Madison finishing Eli's sentence.
"We may want to keep a look out for Fóo she will be looking for us and she will use her contacts."
"Oh I could just take the back way onto the grounds." Says a tall woman with long brown hair pulled up into a ponytail.
"Holy shit Fóo." Yells Madison as she almost falls into the pond.
"It's good to see you all again. Where is my little brother?" asks Fóo as she walks into the light.
"He's up in the house with Sakura. Were you following us the other night?" asks Meilin.
"I was, Meilin I must say you have gotten a lot more aggressive over the years. You really showed it in the club too."
"You were there?" asks Eli.
"I was. I have been following Sakura for a few days now. Now I must speak with them both." Says Fóo
"About what?" asks Meilin trying to stall.
"About everything that's been going on. I've been sent by the elders. They are not happy with Li."
"Well why aren't they happy?" asks Madison, understanding what Meilin is doing.
"Hmmm, your stalling me." Says Fóo looks at the girls.
"Oh well I'm sure they weren't trying to. I mean if it has to do with the leadership then we ought to know as well." Says Eli as he stands up and looks at Fóo.
"Yes well meaning too or not. I must go and see Li and Sakura first. There is something going on here." Says Fóo as she pushes past the three of them and she walks towards the house.
"Clear the house. Tell everyone to leave for the day." Says Eli to Madison and Meilin before he runs after Fóo.
"Sakura you want some tea?" asks Li softly as he caresses her face.
Sakura opens her eyes and smiles at Li, "sorry I was just resting."
"It's ok. Here have some tea. Madison was in here to see you but you were asleep, she picked up your work and put it in your bag." Says Li as he passes Sakura the warm cup of tea.
"Li have you ever thought about having kids?" asks Sakura as she stares into the tea.
"Well yeah someday down the road. When I'm not needed anymore here and me and you can move to China. Why ask?"
"Oh well I've been having dreams of us with a family. I know it's odd but I would give up my life with the Black Hearts to live with you and start a family."
Li watches Sakura as she drinks the tea, "There's something your not telling me."
"What?" asks Sakura surprised as she looks up at Li with her emerald eyes wide.
"I can tell by the way your acting, moving and stuff. Your holding something back from me. Did Aaron do something to you?"
"Oh no I haven't seen Aaron since last night."
"Then what is it?"
"Nothing Li nothing." Mumbles Sakura as she finishes the tea and hands the cup back to Li.
Just then the bedroom door opens to reveal Fóo.
"It's you." Gasps Sakura as she pulls the blankets up around her.
"Hello Sakura, Li."
"What are you doing here Fóo?" asks Li, his voice cold and his face showing no emotion.
"Ahh my baby brother. It's nice to see you haven't changed one bit." Says Fóo as she walks into the bedroom closing the door behind her.
Sakura jumps up out of bed and runs for the bathroom forgetting she is only in her panties. She slams the door shut and kneels in front of the toilet.
Li and Fóo can hear her throw up.
"She's sick Fóo, like you care." Says Li as he gets up and walks over to the closet to grab some clothes for Sakura. He walks over to the bathroom and lays them by the door. He walks over and sits on the couch and motions for Fóo to sit on the chair in front of him.
As Fóo walks to the chair Sakura opens the door a crack and her arm sticks out and grabs her clothes. She pulls them in and slams the door shut again.
