Marred

Last chapter:

"You got her pregnant, didn't you?" Touya charged, anger showing in his brown eyes. Syaoran put his hands up in his defense as Touya started spouting off.

"I WAS RAPED LAST NIGHT!!!"

Touya watched Syaoran as he tangled his fingers with Sakura's, giving her a gentle 'let's go' look before leading her out of the room. This was going to take some getting used to.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The car ride home was silent as the foursome thought about what would happen next. Touya sat in the front seat as Fujitaka drove back to the house. In the back, Syaoran and Sakura sat together, their fingers tangled. Sakura's head rested on Syaoran's shoulder as he leaned his head gently onto her head.

"What if I'm pregnant?" Sakura finally spoke, shaking the men out of their thoughts. Touya turned around in his seat, his face dark.

"If that bastard got you pregnant, I promise you I will kill him." Touya growled, making a fist with his hand before turning around in his seat again. Fujitaka sighed heavily as he turned the car into the driveway of his home.

"What do you want to do, Sakura?" Fujitaka asked. He turned off the car, but no one made a move to get out of the vehicle. Sakura looked at her hand in Syaoran's, then looked out the window.

"I wouldn't kill it, if that's what you're asking." Sakura whispered. Fujitaka turned around to face his daughter, his face showing his concern. Touya followed suit.

"I would never ask you to kill your child, you know that." Fujitaka replied, reaching out to touch his daughter's hand with his. Sakura looked up, her emerald eyes filled with doubt and fear.

"I know daddy. I don't know what I would do if I turned out to be pregnant. I'm only a teenager; can I handle that kind of responsibility alone?" Sakura sighed, leaning her head back onto Syaoran's shoulder. Syaoran brushed a strand of hair from Sakura's face, and she looked up at him with worried eyes.

"Whatever you decide, whatever happens, you aren't alone. I'm here for you, no matter what." Syaoran stated, resting his forehead against Sakura's as he gazed into her eyes with his serious amber ones.

"He's not the only one. Dad and I are right here too. And we're going to take care of Nick, you believe me." Touya added. Sakura felt warm tears trailing down her cheek as she nodded slightly. Fujitaka smiled at his daughter and started to get out of the car and head into the house. Touya, Syaoran and Sakura all got out of the car as well, walking together into the house.

"Do you want me to stay, Sakura?" Syaoran asked, stopping at the front door. Fujitaka and Touya walked into the house without Sakura, leaving her and Syaoran standing out on the front porch.

"Of course I do." Sakura replied, taking Syaoran's hands in his. She looked into his eyes, searching for his thoughts.

"I just thought you would want to spend some time with your dad and Touya. I mean, this is a difficult time for you and them alike. I'd just get into the way." Syaoran said, running a hand through his dark hair and leaning against the door frame.

"I do. You're right. Give me tonight, I'll call you tomorrow." Sakura said quietly. Syaoran smiled slightly and kissed Sakura's forehead. Sakura closed her eyes as Syaoran gently touched his lips to her forehead, then felt a chill over her as Syaoran pulled away and started for his car.

"Syaoran!" Sakura called. Syaoran looked up and saw Sakura run to him. She stopped in front of the teen and looked up at Syaoran with thankful green eyes.

"Thank you. For being there for me." Sakura whispered, a slight blush painting her cheeks. Syaoran noticed the pinkness, noting it was the first color in her face since the night before when she had showed up at his door.

"Anything for you." Syaoran answered, touching her face with his hand before getting into the car and pulling out of the driveway. Touya called for Sakura, who turned and walked slowly back to the house, taking time to glance back at Syaoran's car as it moved down the road and out of sight.

Sunday morning started with the sun shining into Sakura's window, landing in a golden rectangle on the young woman's bed. Sakura opened her eyes and stretched, squinting at the brightness of her bedroom. She touched her bruised side, wincing at the pain. Thus began the second day of Sakura's newly altered life.

"Good morning, Sakura." Touya called from the living room. Sakura looked at him quizzically.

"No more monster?" Sakura asked. Touya poked his head into the kitchen where Sakura and Fujitaka were and shook his head.

"Not unless you want me to call you that." Touya answered. Sakura shrugged; it didn't really matter.

"Tomorrow we are going to the police station. After school." Fujitaka added, handing some juice to Sakura as she sat at the table.

"School?" Sakura gulped. Touya walked out into the kitchen, straightening his tie as he walked.

"Yes school. You know that place where learning happens. It's a great place, or so I hear." Fujitaka replied. Sakura's face clouded over, her eyes darkening.

"I don't want to go back yet. I'm not ready. He'll be there." Sakura whispered, her eyes concentrating on the wood grain on the table.

"Sakura, you have to go back. Show that son of a bitch he isn't going to frighten you." Touya declared. Sakura shook her head and got up from her chair.

"Sakura wait!" Fujitaka called, but it was no use. Sakura had fled back up the stairs to her room. Fujitaka shook his head and looked at Touya, who lowered his head with frustration.

Sakura flopped onto her bed, burying her face in the pink pillows. Her tears flowed freely into the cotton fabric, soaking in and immediately moistening it. She reached for the phone, bringing her face from the pillow.

"Hello?" a male voice said into the phone. Sakura sighed, and the person on the other side spoke again.

"Sakura? Is that you?" Syaoran asked, listening on the other end to the caller's heavy breathing.

"Yes. God, Syaoran . . . I can't go back to school tomorrow. Everyone's going to know, they're going to see it somehow. I can't go face everyone." Sakura bawled, her sobs racking her body.

"You can do it, I'll be right there with you. No one's going to know, because Nick isn't stupid enough to tell anyone. We can make it through this together, you and me." Syaoran coaxed.

"Okay." Sakura replied, her voice small.

"Do you want to come over? We can find something to do to get your mind off of everything that's happened." Syaoran asked. Sakura sighed again. What she wouldn't give to just run away and forget everything. If only it were that simple.

"Yes. Let's go away from here. Somewhere . . . anywhere." Sakura blurted. She could almost feel Syaoran smiling on the other end.

"I'll be at your house in a few minutes. Dress warm, it could get cold tonight." Syaoran instructed. Sakura hung up the phone and changed into a baggy black sweatshirt with a popular band name emblazoned on the front and blue jeans. She threw her hair up into a messy ponytail and grabbed a pair of tennis shoes before walking down the stairs to where Touya and Fujitaka were sitting.

"Where are you going?" Fujitaka asked, standing and walking to Sakura with a concerned look on his face.

"Syaoran is taking me out for the day. We'll be back later." Sakura answered. A knock was heard, and Sakura went to the door, opening it to Syaoran.

"Bye dad." Sakura said quietly as she slipped out of the house with Syaoran. She looked at Syaoran as they walked to his car, noticing he was wearing a green sweatshirt with a pocket in the front. They got into Syaoran's car and buckled their seatbelts. Before leaving the driveway, Syaoran looked at Sakura.

"Where to?" Syaoran asked.

*The end for now, I'll be updating soon. Please review and tell me what you all think. Next chapter: Sakura and Syaoran spend the day together, and a phone call from the doctor brings news for Sakura regarding her rape kit.*
