Final Fantasy
Chapter 3
Fight
Sakura stared at him like he was just an illusion that would disappear, unfortunately for her, he didn't. Tomoyo cleared her through to make sure her presence is known and that brought Sakura back from her thoughts. She smiled slyly. "Tomoyo…guys……what are you doing here………"
"Well, isn't it obvious we came to see how our precious Cherry Blossom has been doing these past years." Eriol said then kissed her hand. 'I don't want you guys to stay…please leave…for my sake.'
"Come in." she said ushering them inside.
The awkward silence filled the room, until Jin-Su and Kasumi came in to see who was here to make their Mother so nervous. "Mom is everything okay?" Jin-Su asked looking at all of them strangely.
Sakura nodded. "Yeah…everything is just…peachy," Sakura noticed Syaoran glancing at them and said hastily, "why don't you and your sister go finish dinner in your room."
"Sakura-"
"And don't come out until I tell you." Jin-Su agreed and grabbed Kasumi's hand before she could say anything. When they were gone, that's when the trouble began.
"Sakura, you know you can't keep a grudge against us forever. You have to be ap-"
"Don't even say it cause I don't want to hear it. NONE of it." Sakura stated factly.
"Oh come on Kinomoto, you knew we we're bound to find you sooner or later. Its just that we had a little help it this…can't you come back home." Meilin said folding her legs.
"I. Am. Home. And this is where I am going to stay and none of you can change that."
"Please Sakura, I miss my best friend. I missed six years in life with her don't make me lose more."
Sakura stood up and walked to the window. "She died along time ago Tomoyo and this person is trying to move on."
"From what?" Syaoran challenged.
"What?" she asked looking at him.
"From what? Me? Are you trying to move away from me or are you trying to move my children away from me?"
Sakura looked down to the floor. "I didn't mean that…."
"Well you sure as hell made it sound like that!!!!"
"Syaoran calm down…" Madison said.
"Like hell I will!!! Sakura I spent six years looking for and all along you've been here…in Toemada. And what's worse you made me miss my children's life too!!! What kind of Mother are you!!!!"
Silence.
Sakura looked him square in the eye. Looking into his eyes made her think of the little boy she use to love, but now he's all grown up. "A good one at it. They have been happy without knowing their Father, in fact I think they are happier to not know who you are." She retorted.
'Oh shit. This is going to get ugly.' Meilin and the others thought at the same time.
"They need me."
"They don't need you, they are doing fine without you."
"I want to see them." He said moving towards the door to Jin-Su's room but Sakura blocked the way.
"You cannot see my children."
"Move."
"No."
"I said move."
"You cannot make me!!!" when she said that everything happened in a flash. Syaoran lunged at her. Grabbing her arm he yanked her to the floor, everybody gasped but Meilin jumped up and punched him in the jaw. Eriol and Tomoyo went to go check on Sakura but she pulled away from them, streams of tears coming down her face. Syaoran immediately regretted what he did.
"Sakura I-"
"ASK ME WHY I CAN NEVER LOVE YOU AGAIN!!!! ASK ME!!!!!" she cried shrilly. Then they all heard a crash and Jin-Su came running into the room, then Kasumi came as well.
"Mom, are you okay?"
"I'm fine baby."
Jin-Su stood up and faced them. "You all should leave before I call the cops."
"Jin-Su, I'm your Father."
Silence. Silence. Silence. Then……SMACK!!!! Kasumi got up and slapped him as hard as she could. "My brother said to get out…get out…and we have no Father."
One by one they left. Syaoran stood there looking at his 'could be family'. But knew it was too late. 'I'm sorry Sakura but I didn't mean to hurt you…I still love you.' Slowly he turned away and walked out closing the door.
Sakura packed her a few things of hers as Jin-Su and Kasumi packed some of their things also, they were going on a trip. As Sakura gathered her things, she remembered of what they talked about yesterday.
~flashback~
"Tomorrow I want you to pack some clothes because I phoned Touya and he arranged for us to stay with him for the week. I explained why and he agreed, but I want you two to stay there a little while longer."
"Yes Mother." Came Jin-su's harsh reply.
"Yes Mother." Came Kasumi's soft reply.
"Mom, is he our real Father?"
"….Yes. Why do you want to know?"
"Well why did he show himself to us, all this time? Why wasn't he here???"
"I'll tell you when you get older, now come. Let's go to sleep we have a lot to do."
~end~
"Mommy were ready to go." Said Kasumi holding her bags and Jin-Su stood beside her.
"Alright lets go." They hopped in the minivan and drove off with their luggage and Sakura's heart. In her heart she kept saying she wanted him back but in her mind it kept saying its time to move on.
'I have to move on…for my kids……'
When she stopped at the spotlight, she didn't know that a black car with tinted windows was following her.
"Tomoyo dear I think we should go back to China, Sakura does not want anything to do with us." Said Eriol handing her a cup of tea.
Tomoyo took a sip and then said. "I for one, will not accept that. She needs me Eriol…she needs us-"
"But didn't you see all the pain and hurt in her eyes when she saw us? Didn't you see the way she said 'she died along time ago'? Madison, there is a time to move on, and there is a time to move on."
"I will not move on!!!! I won't leave my best friend to-"
"She isn't the same Sakura we saw last time." He said sadly.
Tomoyo looked at him dead in the eye and began to cry. "I want her back Eriol…I want my Sakura back…………is that too much to ask for?"
"Syaoran seeing how she is doing is one thing…but following her in this car is another thing!!!!! This crosses the line stalking, no I take that back. This is beyond the line of stalking!!!!"
"I just want to see her."
"You saw her yesterday and did-"
"I know my actions were out of the line. By the way you throw a hell of a punch."
Meilin smiled and winked. "I know a hell a lot more things than you do Li. Oh Syaoran turn here."
Sakura pulled up into the driveway where Ayane and Touya waited for them on the porch, watching the kids. Kasumi jumped out of the car and ran to Touya. "Uncle Touya!!!" she yelled as she jumped to hug him. "I missed you and Auntie Ayane!!!"
"Come on kiddo its only been a couple of days." He said putting her down then giving Sakura a hug and Jin-Su a nod.
"Hello Touya, Ayane. It so good to be home again."
"Well Sakura we lived here ever since you were three, so yeah this basically is your first home."
Sakura punched him playfully in the arm and he pretended to be hurt. While the grown ups went inside Jin-Su stood in the grass looking at the black car that slowly went by. He knew that, that car was following him but he said nothing because he knew that would upset his Mother more.
"Hey Jin-Su, do you know that car?" asked Hayate coming up beside him.
He said nothing but watched as the car slowly disappeared around the corner. "Don't tell anyone about that care, unless they come up to us."
"Why should I listen to you? I'm old than you!!!"
Jin-Su glared at him. "Just don't I want to make sure that care is no threat to us."
"Fine. But don't expect me to keep it in too long, because if anything happens to Nakoma or Kasumi, I'll personally hold you responsible for it."
As he left he nudged Jin-Su in the arm. "Careful Hayate, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your precious treasure if I were you. So keep your mouth shut."
"Sakura are you sure that Chinese brat's are back?" Touya asked handing Sakura a glass of water.
"Yes, along with Meilin, Tomoyo and Eriol." She said before drinking the water.
"To…Tomoyo's here!?! Tomoyo…our second cousin and your best friend?!?!?"
"She's just a friend Touya, I have new best friends and you need to adjust to it like that.
Touya nodded. Ayane came into the kitchen trying to be cheerful, even though she heard Sakura talk about what happened. She forced a smile. "Sakura we'll be more than happy to let you and your kids to stay here, this is your house after all."
"But I wouldn't want to intrude."
"No intruding, you are welcomed here-" before she could finish that sentence they heard a scream coming from outside. As they raced outside they saw Kasumi scream as a person looked down at her.
It was no other than Syaoran.
"What the hell are you doing here bitch!?!" Touya said harshly standing in his fighting stance.
Syaoran looked up as Sakura grabbed Kasumi's arm and pulled her away. Ayane and Sakura got all the kids to go inside, while they stood on either side of Touya glowering at him.
"I came to visit my family." He said simply.
"And how in the hell you knew where to come!!!" Touya snarled.
"Just lucky I guess."
"Go away Li, my children don't want anything to do with you!!!" Sakura bit out savagely.
"But you do."
"GO AWAY!!!!!" she screamed as Ayane held her back.
"Sakura I still love yo-" Syaoran feel to the ground as he felt a fist collide with his jaw. He stood up and saw Torei breathe heavily.
"Come on bitch lets finish what you started along time ago."
Syaoran got in his fighting stance as well. He threw the first punch but Touya easily dodged it and kicked him in the stomach. Syaoran grunted in pain. Touya was about to strike again but Sakura pulled him back, and Syaoran thought she was helping him. "Touya, no, please, he isn't worth it." She pleaded as they pulled him back. He let Ayane led him back to the house and Sakura watched as the door closed. She spun back to him with anger in her eyes no body has ever seen before.
"You stay the hell away from me and my kids!!! Come here again and I won't hesitate to let Touya beat you into a bloody pulp!!!"
He went up to her and whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her spine. "I'll never leave you." With that he turned and went back to the car, speeding away.
