" " Talking ' ' Thoughts *~*New scene
On with the story.
Sakura curled up into a tight ball. She squeezed her eyes shut, pulling her pillow tightly against her body. 'It was all a dream.it was all a dream!' she repeated over and over in her head. She hadn't just watched someone be murdered. She hadn't just seen his dead body lying on the ground. No. It was a dream. None of it happened. She shivered, and wrapped her blankets around her shaking body. Hot tears streamed down her face. "This isn't right.what have I done?" She felt so empty, so lost. Had she really just been a part of something so horrible? Had she really just let Syaoran play God before her very eyes?
Sakura's grip tightened on the pillow. She had thrown away her life. She had thrown away her innocence. How could she ever possibly feel normal again? She had witnessed, no, been part of a murder, and if it wasn't for Syaoran, she would have been the one pulling the trigger. She felt filthy, consumed by some invisible dirt that simple water could never wash away.
Sakura wiped her eyes and took a deep breath. She had to be strong now. She had gotten herself into this mess, and she would just have to face it. She didn't bother to release her pillow, still clutching it closely, as she closed her eyes and remained curled in a ball. She willed her restless body to relax and embrace the ever-longing sleep that surrounded her. She let her body slightly relax, before tensing up again, a new round of tears finding their way down her cheeks.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Syaoran walked down the stairs, the morning light had not yet crept into the city as usual. He was somewhat surprised to see Eriol already sitting at the table and waiting for him, but quickly hid his emotions. "So, how did our little Yin Fa do?" Eriol asked, skipping the small talk. Syaoran sat down and gave him a slight smile. "Just fine." Eriol raised his eyebrows, wanting to know more. Syaoran sighed obediently, "She was a little hesitant at first, but she got the job done." Eriol nodded, and picked up a newspaper, knowing he would get no more out of him.
After a few moments of silence, he spoke again, "So when." "The girls are taking her later today." Syaoran cut him off. Eriol smiled and returned his gaze to the newspaper in front of him. He knew Syaoran wasn't telling him everything. Something happened last night, but he had no clue what.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It's just one of those day's when you don't wanna wake up. Everything is fucked, everyone sucks.
Mei Lin and Tomoyo laughed happily, racing down the street with music blazing. Sakura sat in the back watching the scenery speed by. She hadn't said much, but smiled and nodded cheerfully enough to keep them satisfied. She didn't want to expose the pain she was going through. She never showed pain. It was how she survived all those years with her father.
You don't really know why, But you want to justify rippin someone's head off.
She listened to the lyrics intently, taking in every word and phrase. It was perfect for her mood. She smiled a little, hearing Tomoyo yell excitedly as Mei Lin honked the horn at passing cars. At least they were cheering her up.
No human contact, and if you interact you life is on contract, your best bet is to stay away motherfucker! It's just one of those days!
Within no time they pulled into the parking lot of a small deserted plaza. Chiharu, Naoko and Rita were already waiting for them, and jumped up waving as they pulled in. Mei Lin parked the car, hoping over the door and yelling at Sakura to hurry up. Tomoyo just laughed and shook her head. "How was shopping?" she asked approaching the group. Rita's eyes lit up, and she opened her mouth to speak, when they were interrupted by a loud screech, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!?!" The girls spun around to see a fuming Mei Lin pounding on the front door.
"What's wrong?" Chiharu called. Mei Lin's face grew red in anger, her crimson eye's flashed dangerously, "The stupid place isn't open!" "What?!?!" Tomoyo called back, "That's impossible! Syaoran called two day's ago to tell Dave we'd be coming!" Sakura was shocked. Syaoran had really had confidence she'd succeed? "Well it's not!" Mei Lin yelled, pounding on the door once again. "Maybe he slept in or something?" Naoko suggested. Mei Lin stepped back from the door and nodded. "I'll be right back!" Sakura sat down on the curb sighing as Mei Lin ran around to the back of the building. She had hoped to get this over with as soon as possible.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Mei Lin located the back door among the piles of trash, and picked her way through. 'This is disgusting! Just wait till I get my hands on Dave!' She pounded on the door impatiently. "THIS IS FUCKIN INSANE! OPEN UP ALREADY!!" She glared at the door, but no one came to answer it. "WHAT THE HELL!" she screamed, giving the door a swift kick. Mei Lin gasped and stepped back in surprise as the old door burst off its hinges and feel to the ground with a crash. "Well," she said, regaining her posture, "Now, that that's done." she stepped over the mess and into the dark room.
"Gawd it smells in here!" Mei Lin covered her nose, shuddering in disgust. Something really reeked. She made her way to the closest wall, running her hand along its smooth surface until she found a switch. She looked around with suspicion when her eyes finally adjusted to the light. The small apartment behind the tattoo parlor was in shambles. Tables were turned over, chairs broken, and glass was shattered on the floor. She walked through slowly, bits of glass crunching under her feet. "Oh gawd!" She felt sick to her stomach; the smell was growing worse by the moment. Mei Lin turned to where the bathroom should be, pushing the door open, about to hurl. She stopped dead in her tracks as she took in the scene before her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So you nervous?" Rita asked Sakura. Sakura nodded her head slightly and smiled. "Yea, but the less I think about it, the less nervous I am." Rita laughed and nodded in agreement. "So how was last night then? I don't mean the mission, I mean you know, having Syaoran all to yourself!" Rita winked at her, seeing Sakura's cheeks slightly darken. Sakura turned her face away from their egger glances. "Fine," she mumbled, "He was actually civil for once!" Tomoyo laughed at this before adding in her own comments, "Oh come on Sakura! We know you enjoyed his company!" Sakura's eyes flashed as she turned back towards them, "I did not! He has no respect for me! He thinks I'm just this." she trailed off as they heard Mei Lin's shouts, followed by a loud thump rise from the other side of the building. "Mei Lin must be taking her angry out on the poor brick!" Tomoyo laughed. The other girls all giggled, the former tension disappearing.
"So when are you planning your wedding?" Sakura asked after the laughter had died down. Rita shrugged her shoulders, "When we go back to China I guess. Were only here until Syaoran puts someone in charge." Sakura raised an eyebrow, and Naoko picked up the conversation, "The guy who ran things here in China was killed off a couple weeks ago, by um, the same guy you killed last night." Sakura's eyes widened. "So Syaoran came down here to straighten things out, and make sure everything was running smoothly." "Of course we couldn't let him come alone!" Tomoyo added, "We weren't about to let him have all the fun!"
Sakura laughed at their enthusiasm. 'They seem to love this life.maybe I'll grow to accept it to.' She was feeling a lot more relax when Mei Lin's screams suddenly erupted from behind them.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Mei Lin doubled back and threw up on the hallway floor. She could usually handle this stuff, but the smell was killing her. Dave's body lay mangled and thrashed in his bathtub. Dry blood soaked the walls, running down the side of the tub and onto the floor. His face was badly cut, his skull smashed in on the right side. Three bullet holes were dug into his chest, with numerous cut's and bruises covering his pale body. His right leg was twisted up at an impossible angle. Without taking a second glance, Mei Lin turned and fled from the building. She reached the exit, and burst into the ally way, stopping to lean against a dumpster. She still had the taste of puke in her mouth, and her throat was burning. 'What the hell is going on?' She reached inside her Jacket, pulling out her phone, and pressing speed dial.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Syaoran picked up the phone in an instant, making Kado and Takashi glance up at him with amusement. Sakura should be getting her tattoo done right now, and for some reason he was really edgy. His eyes narrowed as he heard Mei Lin's panicking voice. "S- Syaoran.we came, the door was locked.I went around back." "Spit it out Mei Lin!" Syaoran yelled, growing impatient. He had a sickening feeling that something horrible had, and was going to happen. He heard Mei Lin pause to regroup herself.
"I went in the back, the place was a mess. I found Dave in the bathroom, badly beaten and shot to death." Syaoran felt his stomach flip. He glanced up at the guys, and they immediately stood up, knowing something was wrong. "Ok Mei Lin," Syaoran spoke slowly and calmly. Where are you now?" "In the back," came Mei Lin's quick reply. "And the other girls?" Syaoran asked. "They're still in the front. Syaoran closed his eyes, dreading what was going to happen next. "Ok, listen to me Mei Lin. Don't panick. I want you to make your way to the front of the building, do you see the girls?" He heard Mei Lin stumble through the alleyway, softly cursing under his breath.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Mei Lin stumbled through the garbage until the girls were in her sight. "Yea, They're there," she replied to Syaoran. She heard him sigh in relief, before continuing, "Good, now I want you to look around the area. Are there any cars near by?" Mei Lin scanned around the plaza, "no.not that I can see," she said, making Syaoran once again sigh, "Wait! No! There's a car! It's barley visible, hidden by those bushed, but I can see it!" Syaoran paused on the other end. His voice came out gruff and strained, "Mei Lin, go get the girls. Get in your cars, and get out of there as fast as you can. GO!" Mei Lin hung up and started to run. "GUY'S GET IN THE FUCKING CARS!" she screamed, fear overcoming her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Syaoran heard her hang up, and turned to the guys. "There's trouble! Let's go!" He would kill himself if anything happened to Sakura.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The girls starred at Mei Lin for a couple of seconds, before seeing the fear in her eyes, and getting up, running to the cars. "What the hell is going on?" Tomoyo screamed, strapping on her seatbelt as Mei Lin fumbled with the keys. "No time to explain! Let's just get the fuck outta here!" They gripped the seats tightly as Mei Lin pulled out, turning sharply and screeching out of the parking lot, Naoko and the others not far behind. They had barley reached the road, when the building behind them exploded, sending heat waves through the air. The glass shattered, sending fragments flying through the air with brick and ruble. Sakura screamed, ducking down into her seat, and throwing her hands over her head. Her whole body shook with fear. This was not what she had expected her first day as a Wolf to be like!
"Stay down!" she heard Tomoyo shout. They continued to race down the street, as Tomoyo pulled out her gun. She loosened her seat belt, and turned around in her seat. Her eyes filled with confusion. Naoko, Chiharu and Rita were racing up not far behind them, but no one was following them. "What the hell? Mei Lin.no one's chasing us!" Mei Lin glanced through the rearview mirror, "What the fuck's going on?" Tomoyo sank uneasily into her seat, "It must be a trap! They wouldn't try to blow us up, then just let us get away!" Mei Lin glanced up at her uneasily, "Tomoyo.didn't it seem as if they waited until we were clear of the building until they blew it up?" Tomoyo paled, "What the hell are they playing at?!?!"
She turned to Sakura, "Call Syaoran quick, and tell him what happened." Sakura nodded, and clumsily pulled out her phone, her whole body was still shaking. She paused unsure of what to say, and listened to Syaoran pick up. "Hello?" Sakura bit her lip, "Hello?" he said again, growing more impatient, "Umm.hi." Sakura squeaked. This time Syaoran paused. "Sakura?" Sakura swallowed, trying to regain her confident voice, "Yea." She heard Syaoran sigh, "Put Tomoyo or Mei Lin on." Sakura pulled the phone from her ear and stared at it. 'So now he doesn't even want to talk to me?' She thrust the phone at Tomoyo who took it, somewhat puzzled.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Syaoran waited until he heard Tomoyo answer. "Tomoyo, where are you? Did you get away ok?" "Were fine! Were fine!" Tomoyo said, though she didn't feel fine at all, "We got away, the building exploded, but no one chased us, and. and it was almost as if they waited for us to get out before blowing it up." Syaoran furrowed his brow, "What?" "You heard me!" came Tomoyo's impatient reply. She wanted answers, and she wanted them now.
Syaoran gripped the steering wheel, "Alright. Tell Mei Lin to head towards Sakura's house.I think someone's after her." "Bloods!" Tomoyo spat out. Syaoran nodded, "Were not sure yet, but they've had a couple opportunities to kill her. they must want her alive." Tomoyo gulped, "no. they can'." "Tomoyo calm down, I can't take you freaking out right now..." Syaoran cut her off. He paused and took a deep breath, "Its not safe for her anymore. Take her home, tell her to get some stuff, and then bring her back to our place. We have to keep a close watch on her." Syaoran hung up, and gazed intently at the road. He wouldn't let anything happen to her. He didn't know what it was, but something about her made him feel alive again.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura glanced uneasily at Tomoyo as she handed back her cell phone. "What's going on?" she asked. Tomoyo gave her a weak smile, "We're not too sure yet. Were going to take you home to pick up a few things, clothes and what not, then will head back to our place." Sakura's eyes widened at the thought of home, but she nodded in agreement. She just prayed to God that her father wasn't home.
A few minutes later they pulled into her driveway. "Well wait here," Mei Lin said, "Go get your stuff and come back." Sakura nodded and headed to the door. When she had stepped inside Mei Lin turned to Tomoyo, "What the hell is going on?" Tomoyo shrugged her shoulders, "Someone really doesn't want Sakura to become a Wolf."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura stepped through the door and looked around. This time she didn't make the mistake of assuming she was safe. She tiptoed to the living room, and then the study, making sure her father wasn't anywhere to be seen. Sighing in relief, she headed to the stairs, then stopped abruptly. Her throat was burning, and she felt over heated. "To much excitement," she murmured to herself. Sakura turned around and made her way to the kitchen. She missed her old house, no matter if it contained her father. In moments when he wasn't around, it was always so peaceful and calm.
She pushed open the door, and stopped dead when she heard a loud thud. Opening the door again she saw her father sitting on the ground rubbing his head. Pity over took her, and she ran to help him up. "Oh father! I'm sorry! Are you ok?" She stepped back almost at once. 'What am I doing? He's drunk again! I can smell it!' He looked at her, fire burning in his eyes, before lashing out and striking her. Sakura's own anger surged, as she stumbled back. 'No! I won't take this! I promised myself I'd never let him hit me again!' Sakura straightened up, and stepped forward hitting him back.
He lost his balance, falling back and knocking a few dished off the counter. Sakura saw the shock in his eyes. He hadn't expected her to fight back. Looking down at his feet Sakura could barley hear him mumble nonsense, before he leaned back against the cupboards and closed his eyes. Sakura sighed. He had probably passed out again.
She turned and walked to the fridge, searching for something to drink. Unseen, her father stood back up. He started towards the door, then changed his mind, his drunken rage once again coming into play. Reaching for a steak knife he made his way over to Sakura's form. She stood on tiptoe, reaching up for a glass.
Sakura let out a surprised cry as she felt the cold metal dig into her flesh.

He looked at her, fire burning in his eyes, before lashing out and striking her. Sakura's own anger surged, as she stumbled back. 'No! I won't take this! I promised myself I'd never let him hit me again!' Sakura straightened up, and stepped forward hitting him back.
He lost his balance, falling back and knocking a few dished off the counter. Sakura saw the shock in his eyes. He hadn't expected her to fight back. Looking down at his feet Sakura could barley hear him mumble nonsense, before he leaned back against the cupboards and closed his eyes. Sakura sighed. He had probably passed out again.
She turned and walked to the fridge, searching for something to drink. Unseen, her father stood back up. He started towards the door, then changed his mind, his drunken rage once again coming into play. Reaching for a steak knife he made his way over to Sakura's form. She stood on tiptoe, reaching up for a glass.
Sakura let out a surprised cry as she felt the cold metal dig into her flesh.
