Final Fantasy
Chapter 8
Trying So Hard
"She did that!? I'm surprised she's still even breathing!!!" exclaimed Eriol as he held Tomoyo while they were in bed.
"She's so different. She's not the same person I knew anymore…she's not my Sakura." Tears poured down her cheeks but Eriol wiped them away then kissed her tenderly.
"We'll get her back, this I promise you."
"Don't make promises you can't keep Eriol."
"This I can keep my love and I will not rest until I succeed."
"And if you don't?"
"You can hurt me."
"That I assure you I will do."
"Now tell me what the plan Aunt Yelan said."
"Well she plans to…."
Jin-Su looked at himself in the mirror trying to see what characteristics he got from Li. His hair…his eyes…..his attitude…..
That's was the thing he hated most, that he inherited his attitude. He wanted to be his own person not be like…him. Was he really mad at him? Or his Mother? Or himself? He knew his Mother was doing what she thought was right, but sometimes he wondered. What his Father would be like, and now he knows and plans not to get involved with him.
He ruffled his hair and laid down, glancing at the clock. He didn't know time well but he knew it was late and he had to get some sleep. As his eyes began to drip he heard a whimper. Immediately he got out of bed and straight to her sisters room. He peeked through the door to see her tossing and whimpering in her sleep. Silently he walked over to her bed and shook her. Her emerald eyes slightly opened to reveal pools of tears, she whimpered again. "Sumi what's wrong?" he called her that for a nickname.
"I had a bad dream…can I sleep with you?"
Jin-Su sighed and grabbed her little hand leading her to his room. He got in then she climbed in after him, cuddled close for comfort. Jin-Su wrapped an arm protectively around her shoulder, with her back against him. "Jin-Su?" she whispered sleepily.
"What?"
"You're the best…"she managed to say before she softly started to snore. Jin-Su smiled and went to sleep as well, his arm still draped around her.
Morning…
Syaoran was sitting on his couch, in his dark room gloomy from what he hear yesterday.
Flashback
They continued to talk happily walking side by side each other. People started talking when they saw them together, they smiled at them thinking they were a couple.
"You two have the cutest children." An elderly woman said smiling at them two.
"Oh no they are not my kids."
"Pity. You two look like you would make a fine couple." And then she walked away.
As they were paying for their groceries, Sakura realized that she didn't have enough money. "Sorry I don't-" she was telling the register but Juan gave the register his money.
"No. You shou-"
"It's no problem, think of this as a favor."
"Thank you."
Juan gazed into her emerald eyes and smiled. "You are very welcome."
(flash forward)
"Now you owe me a favor." Juan said as he finished helping Sakura putting the groceries in her car.
"And what would that be?"
"Go out with me."
"What!"
"You, me and your kids. A picnic this next weekend, what do you say?"
Sakura smiled and nodded. "Sounds fine with me."
"Good pick you three up at noon next week."
"Can't wait."
End
You see he followed Sakura to the grocery store that day hoping to talk to her but he didn't expect for him to be there, for all he knew he could have followed Sakura too. What made him angry most was that she accepted his proposal for a picnic, she wasn't suppose to. Sakura was his and nobody else's.
But that was okay though, he would have to accidentally run into them on their little picnic and he would accidentally join them. He had a full proof plan, if only he knew how wrong it could go.
"Alright Tomoyo are you sure the plan is ready to happen soon?" asked Meilin rubbing her temples tiringly.
"Yes right now I just have to go over there and its in action."
"Careful. Sakura is not as naïve as she use to be…"
"I know but she can't always avoid me forever, she must have known that sometime her past was going to catch up with her sooner or later."
"Okay."
"You know your part?"
"Yup. Auntie told me to go to the records department and look up Konniwa's name, check his history to be precise."
"Alright. I guess we better go then." Tomoyo said as she and Meilin walked out the door and jumped in the car.
Meilin was going to drop Tomoyo off at Sakura's house and pretend she left her there so she could stay in Sakura's house. That way maybe she could find some things out.
Lei-Fan walked out of the old warehouse from telling a man what to do, she looked over her shoulder nervously. She didn't want to get caught. Half the way she ran back to her yellow Bug (car) and jumped in ready to leave. Just as she was about to start the car her phone rings making her jump.
She flipped her cell open. "Hello? Jin-Su, yeah I done it…I told him. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'll…give him the rest of the money when he… Okay. Bye."
She sighed in relief as she started her car and drove away.
The doorbell rang and Sakura raced to answer it since the kids were outside playing in the backyard with their cousins. Sakura opened the door with a smile but soon disappeared when she saw who it was. "Sakura." She said timidly.
"……Tomoyo. What do want?"
"Spend some time with you if that's okay."
Sakura sighed angrily. "To-mo-yo."
"I know I'm the last person you want to see right now-"
Sakura grunted.
"But since its like I barely know you why don't I just get to know you today, that's all I ask."
"Fine but try anything tricky and I will personally kick your ass."
"Thanks. Can I come in?"
Sakura made a gesture with her hand and Tomoyo proceed in, while Sakura closed the door behind her.
Meilin sighed as she went through the paper clippings again. 'Oh all the things I had to get the lamest job!!!!' She rolled her eyes out of boredom but stopped when she saw a clip with a picture.
Jacyln Sylvia Johns was arrested June 5, 1977 after trying to commit murder to her two children Joseph Johns and Bridget Johns. She is also charged with sexual assault to her son for her own personal pleasures. Her son says that she would force him to have sex everyday until she was pleased and that when he didn't she would beat him and then rape him. His sister, eight years old, would then be forced to have sex but with her Mother's male friends. She would just watch as they raped her. The Johns children are being sent to a foster home until they can find them somewhere to stay. Until then I am Jose Madeline Garcia, giving you exclusive info. later on.
Meilin would have patted herself on the back if this article wasn't so disturbing, but at least she was on the right track. As she zoomed in on the picture she noticed a resemblance between Juan Konniwa and Joseph Johns. 'Maybe I should find the reporters name to see if she knows more on this…'
Meilin hit the print button and went off to find the clerk.
