Shinigami Clara: Hello people, I know this is not "after the exams" as I so
put it.. But hay, I suddenly felt like writing^^ what can I say? So here is
another chappie on Witch Hunt........i hope you will enjoy it^^
Chapter 7 To tell or not to tell.
Sakura stood in front of Syaoran, not knowing what to do, she had planed to tell him in the morning, when she will finally have the courage to tell the truth. Lying to Syaoran's family and Eriol had not been entirely pleasant, she felt guilt every time they called her Cherry, knowing that this is not her true name. But now, she had to face a more immediate problem than thinking about her guilt, now she had to face Syaoran with the truth.
Arms crossed about his chest Syaoran straitened from leaning against the door, he had walked in after hearing what Kero had said, he wanted to know what happened and why there were Hunters chasing Cherry. He had know that Cherry was hiding something and had waited for her to tell him what it is, but after this attack - or challenge, as she called it - he felt that it was too dangerous, she might get hurt. This thought had sent chills to his bones, the thought of Cherry hurt in anyway but the only way to protect her was to know the truth, know what she was hiding. Syaoran waited patently for her to speak.
"I.....well...... you see....." started Sakura, "it's like this..... can I tell you this tomorrow? I....... I don't have the courage to tell you this right now, I need to think, because.....well.....because I just can't tell you right now."
Syaoran raised his eyebrows at her stuttering, he had never seen her this nervous since she arrived in his home, this was a first, and despite the situation, it was amusing. Her cheeks flushed as she tried to tell him......what the hell was she trying to tell him? Damn him if he remembers, he looked at her again, she looked so cute when she blushes, and it took almost all of his self discipline to not kiss her. He was afraid that one of the Witch Hunters had got her when he was fighting, then when he saw her appearing by his side after he defeated Akira he was so relieved that it was almost unbelievable. Then the thought of Akira brought him back to the present, he wanted to know why the two Witch Hunters where trying to fight her.
"I don't care what it is," he stated, "I want to know why those damn Hunters are at your tail."
"I told you, I'll tell you tomorrow," Did her even hear what she said in the first place? Apparently not.
"No, I want to know now, surly if you want to tell me tomorrow, then there is no reason why it can't be told today. Now."
"And I say no!" she was starting to get mad, who was this stubborn male to tell her what to do? "I will tell you tomorrow, when I want to, no sooner and no later!"
"FINE! I don't care! Tell me tomorrow then!" and with that he spun around and left the room.
Sakura stood there for a while then said to Kero, "I hope Tomoyo is not asleep." Then she, also, left her room in search for her friend with Kero flying dutifully behind her in a worried expression.
#@# Tomoyo #@# She felt someone speaking in her dreams, she was still in Eriol's arms, they were about to sit back down when she felt someone trying to shake her awake. Not wanting to go, she just turned around in her sleep and ignored the hands shaking her.
Eriol looked at Tomoyo and sighed, "You better go and wake up, it's Cherry, and she seems upset."
Tomoyo blinked and started to look concerned, "Why would Sakura be upset? She rarely is, unless there is something really important bothering her." Eriol looked at Tomoyo strangely, "What?" she asked annoyed. (Uh-oh)
"You called her Sakura," Tomoyo's hand flew to her mouth, did she just do that? Oh no, this is not going to turn out good, "is there something you want to tell me Tomoyo? Why is it that you called Cherry, Sakura? There has to be something, what is it?"
Before Eriol could stop her, Tomoyo disappeared from the dream world, *Damn, she woken up* and with that he left as well, *there is no harm in listening to what Cherry - Sakura, he corrected himself - had to say was there?* with that he woke up and started making his way to Tomoyo's chambers.
In Tomoyo's chambers Sakura watched as her friend slowly woke up, she rubbed the sleep from her eyes and looked at Sakura sleepily, "What is it Saku? You sounded really upset about something."
Sakura sighed, "Okay, this is what happened (After the explanation [I'm top lazy to go through it]) and then Syaoran heard me and Kero talking in the end, fortunately he only heard the part about telling the truth to him. But what am I going to do? I mean, at the moment it seems as it I am the most wanted witch by powerful Hunters all over the place."
Tomoyo looked at her friend and said, "Do you like it here though Sakura, I mean you can run away if this is the case."
The though had crossed her mind several times, true, but for some reason she didn't want to leave this place, she knew it was the best choice, but she just couldn't bring herself to leave. "No, I don't think running is a good idea, I mean where ever I go, there will be Hunters around anyways, and this is the safest place I have found, if I find anywhere safer than this, than I will go but not till then." Sakura sounded more like she was reasoning with herself than anything else.
Tomoyo smiled slightly at Sakura, *Well, it seems that she wanted to stay more than anything, and this, I suppose proves that Eriol's plans worked.* "Then what are you going to do?"
"I think I'll have to tell them the truth if they really think that I am guilty then I will let them take me, I mean there is no point in running if the whole world thinks you are guilty, they'll get me in the end anyways."
Then Kero spoke up, "Mistress, I won't allow this, what would happen to the cards then? And Yue, me and your brother will not allow this either, they know that you are innocent, and we will stop at nothing to make sure you are safe!"
"Thanks Kero, but you know that if I run, that will only mean that I agree that I am guilty."
Then a voice spoke up, and they all turned to the door, "If you run, than me and Syaoran will be duty bond to arrest you, but I think that you are innocent. If that is true, we will stop at nothing to prove that you are." It was Eriol.
Tomoyo gasped, "What are you doing here? Not to mention what in the name of God do you think you're doing listening to people's conversations? And how much did you hear?" she added in the end.
"Can't anyone have a private conversation in this house, it seems like people are listening at every corner!" muttered Sakura.
Eriol chuckled, "I have heard every thing, from the beginning. And don't worry I will help you and prove that you are innocent. I'm sure Li will do it as well once he is convinced of your innocence."
Sakura looked doubtfully at Eriol, should she trust this man? He is the reincarnation of Clow, there is o reason for him to harm her, true, he might be a Hunter, but he could've taken her the moment he found out and not try to help her. Her mind made up she looked at Eriol and said, "Alright, I trust you, I'll tell Syaoran in the morning."
Eriol nodded and they all went back to their chambers to retire for the night, there was much to do in the morning, Sakura was weary from the fight and she knew that if she didn't sleep, tomorrow is going to be pure hell for her.
