Forgotten Cherry Blossom
Chapter 6: Needs
She sighed when she put her sword down on her bed. "That's why I don't want to tell them."
"Tell us what?" She spun around. Two amber eyes bored into her, threatening to pull out every secret she wants hidden. "What happened to you? Tomoyo says you are not the Sakura she once knew and she thinks it's her fault. What really happened to you?"
"It's not her fault. And I'm not telling. I don't want to remember. So leave me alone!" She flung a pillow at him and he simply cached it without blinking. "Go away! Go away! I don't want to remember! I'm not telling! I don't want to remember!" She collapsed to the ground and buried her face in her knees. "I'm not telling… I won't tell."
He placed his arms around her as he sat next to her on the ground trying to comfort her. "Why won't you tell?"
"I'll hurt them with my words. I don't want them to sympathise, I don't need sympathy."
"What do you need then?"
"I don't know. I want the pain to go away… Mother wouldn't let me stay with her…"
"What do you mean?"
"She said I couldn't stay. I had to go back, my life wasn't over yet. I wanted it to be over. I don't want to be here."
He pulled her closer to him and she buried her face in his shirt. His hands gently pulled the hair out of her face while the other rested on her back. "What about Tomoyo? And your father and brother? They need you here. My mother already needs you, she thinks of you as one of her daughters. My sisters think you are the cutest person on earth. So they need you to have their 'cute moment'. Eriol needs you to tease Tomoyo and he'll probably come to ask you for a lot of advice about her. And Meiling thinks you're the best person she ever met." Her sobbing had stopped, he looked at her. Gently he picked her up and lied her on the bed.
"Don't leave me alone, please." He lifted an eyebrow at her. "I've been alone for so long." He climbed on the bed next to her and pulled her close to him. "Thank you." A half-hearted laugh escaped her lips. "I think Tomoyo needs me to model her clothes."
"But she still needs you then." She didn't respond, he looked at her tear stained face. She was fast asleep.
A silver haired man entered a prison like room, his cruel eyes narrowed when he found only rubble. "Where is she? They couldn't have possibly…" He stopped at a piece of green cloth. "Li." He hissed. "Li. You will pay."
