Chapter 5: Unrequited Love
Syaoran suddenly knew what to do. He stood up and got Sakura's car keys.
"Syaoran, what are you doing!?" Sammi cried. "Towards Hell Dragons Headquarters! I bet 1000 yen they took her there!!" he said as he speed-dialed the Angels.
"Guys, report to Hell Dragons Headquarters!!" he said to all of them.
"You heard Syaoran, Angels moooooove out!" Tomoyo said at her end. Everyone shouted in agreement, making Syaoran smile.
-----------Hell Dragons Headquarters------------
Sakura just stared at Akito with a shocked face. Am I hearing right?, she thought, still in disbelief. This guy likes me!?
Akito stared into her eyes and saw the swirl of emotions. Anger, confusion, hate, uneasiness.........he wanted to kiss those feelings off her. He rested his hands on her shoulders. Sakura was startled at the sudden touch. Akito took advantage of her distraction to draw her body against his. Sakura quickly regained her composure, planted her hands on his chest and pushed away from his chest. "What's wrong, my little Angel?" he asked softly.
She looked into his eyes and saw the light green darkening. She gulped and knew what it meant: lust.
Sakura roughly pushed away. Akito's expression didn't change. "You are beautiful, Sakura. But I'm sure you've heard that before." He said. He looked down at her, like a predator to its prey. In her fear, she struck at him – hard. "No!"
Neither the blow not her plea had any effect.
"Love me, Sakura......" he whispered.
---------Hell Dragons Headquarters----------
Syaoran walked quickly and silently towards the Headquarters. The Angels were right behind him, guns at ready. "Dammit, where the hell is Akito's room!?" he hissed as they were close to the entrance. Meiling saw a light through a room in the farthest corner of the huge building.
"Hey, Syaoran-baby." She tugged at the sleeve of his green shirt. "I see a lit light. And if you haven't noticed, no other lights are on." Syaoran turned and saw the light. "Let's go!" he said.
------------------------------
"Are you on crack!?" Sakura shouted at him, trying to keep her temper on check.
"Let me love you, Sakura........." he stroked her hair. She moved her head away and shook her head. "I'm sorry, Akito. But I.......I love Syaoran, he's my fiancé." Sakura said, calming down. Akito suddenly picked her up. "Kyah, let me go!!" Sakura screamed. Akito easily tossed her even farther into the bed, since she was sitting on the edge. He wanted her, the fact she rejected him made him fierce. He didn't care now; he would have her, one way or another.
In a blink, he grabbed her legs, pulled her towards him, and forced her onto her back. Sakura cried out her rage and fear, but before she could strike back, he captured her wrists in one hand, pinned her arms above her head, held her motionless. He kept nearing her until he was on top of her completely. Icy fear ran in her blood as panic seized her.
"No!!" she cried.
His knee nudged hers apart and positioned himself between her legs. His free hand was lifting her skirt.
"Please, don't!" Sakura cried.
She felt helpless, trapped by his size, his male strength. She may be a fighter, but she knew he was stronger than her.
Akito said nothing as he kept lifting her skirt until he bared her hips, seeing only her panties. "Stop it!!!" she yelled in fear, trying to twist free from his strong grip.
"Don't fight me, Sakura." His voice was sharp. He grabbed her panties and was starting to slowly slide them down her thighs.
"Stop! Would you rape the one you love!?!?!?" she screamed. It was the catch of her voice that stopped him. He looked down at her. Her lips and her body trembled beneath him, tears coursed down her cheeks and her emerald eyes full of fright. Her auburn hair spread like an angel's wing beneath them.
His hand was still grasping her panties, half way down her thighs. "Sakura......." he said. Suddenly, the door spilt open. Sakura and Akito turned and saw who it was.
Syaoran was looking at them, fire in his amber eyes.
"Sakura!!" he cried. He burst inside and rage built inside him as his eyes landed on them. Akito had Sakura pinned to the bed. Her skirt was lifted and her panties were halfway down. Her eyes were teary as they saw him. Sakura took the chance that Akito was distracted to unpin herself. Akito was about to react when he felt being roughly pushed off the bed. Sakura pulled her panties up and sat up. "Syaoran!" she cried happily. "Sakura!!" Meiling, Tomoyo, Chiharu, Rika, and Naoko cried as they got inside, the boys right behind them.
"Guys!" Sakura sighed in relief. Akito was about to get up when everyone aimed their guns at him.
"Say your prayers, motherfucker." Syaoran growled at him, about to pull the trigger. "Iie, stop!" Sakura cried as she jumped off the bed and wrapped her arms around Syaoran's waist, stopping him in time.
"Sakura!?" Syaoran said. The girls and the guys all stared at her wide-eyed.
"There's no need to kill him, koi!" Sakura said. "But he tried to rape you!" Syaoran pointed out. Sakura nodded. "I know, but I managed to stop him before you came." She turned to her Angels, their guns still aimed at Akito. "Lower your guns, now!" she said. Without a word, they complied. She turned to Akito, who was kneeling on the floor before them.
Akito then came to his senses. He tried to rape her, the woman he loves. He felt sick at himself for such an act. He was better than this. Sakura saw the change in him and softened. "Akito, please understand." Sakura said as she kneeled down. Akito looked at her and said. "I'm sorry."
"It's OK." Sakura smiled. "I have a proposition for you."
Akito raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What is it?" he asked. Syaoran looked at her and then knew what was happening, Sakura was going to tell Akito of the plan. "Come over to my place and we'll discuss things. But." She warned. "Don't lay a finger on Sammi, clear?"
"Crystal." He nodded. Sakura got up and said to her Angels. "Let's get this plan going."
----------Sakura's Apartment------------
Sammi was walking around restlessly with worry. She knew Syaoran went for Sakura and she was worried if something happened to both of them. Without warning, the door opened. Sammi squeaked and aimed at the door, her gun in both hands. "Sammi!" Sakura said. Sammi gasped and lowered the gun. "Emerald!" she said. Sakura hugged the little girl and smiled. Sammi looked behind Sakura and her smile faded. The color drained from her face at seeing her enemy standing in her doorway along with the other Angels.
Sakura felt her uneasiness and smiled. "Don't worry, Sammi. I won't let him touch you."
Sammi swallowed hard and nodded slowly. "Sit, Akito." Sakura said, pointing at her couches. Everyone came in and sat down. Sakura sat in front of them with Sammi sitting on her lap. She cleared her throat and looked at Akito. "Well, as I said earlier, I have a proposition for you, Akito Suzume."
"I'm all ears." He nodded. Sakura took in a small breath before speaking again.
"We heard how it all started. The reason why you and your sister have a big hatred towards the Kurisami family."
"So?" he said.
"I propose an alliance, Akito. We can help you get rid of Shiro Kurisami." Sakura said. Silence in the room. Akito stared at the girl wide-eyed. "W-What?" he said.
"You heard me, you want revenge against him and we can help you." Sakura played with Sammi's flaxen hair.
"Why?" Akito demanded.
"Because me and my aunties want to see that bastard dead for what he did." Sammi spoke up. Akito stared at her, eyebrow raised. "And I thought a little lady like you doesn't use that kind of language." He commented.
"Grin and bear it, welcome to the modern times." She rolled her eyes. "At any rate!" Sakura cut in. "We would like to do it ourselves, but you guys have a better reason to finish him off than we do."
Akito looked interested in the plan. "So, how do you plan we do this, Ying Fa?" he asked. "Simple!" Meiling said. "We draw him out of his rabbit hole, out of protection, and blow his head off."
"Nice way of putting it, Meiling." Sakura smiled and shook her head at her friend.
"In other words, we get him out of his mansion and you finish him off." She said to Akito. "But what about my sister? She'll go ballistic when she finds out I kinda changed sides!" he cried. Sakura looked at him funny. "But you ain't changin' sides at all! You said so yourself! You and Midori are in your own team." She reminded him.
"Well, that's true, but........" he trailed off.
"But?" Tomoyo said.
"But she had another revenge plan for someone else." Akito finished. Sakura felt the frosty fear grip her senses again at she remembered. "Syaoran......." she said softly as she looked at him worriedly. Syaoran returned her look, but he was assuring her with his eyes. Akito noticed her gaze and felt bad for her. He knew how much she loves that man, and if Midori gets her way, Sakura will be all alone, like he and his sister were.
I have to make a decision, Midori or Sakura?, he wondered. He looked at her one more time and finally made up his mind.
Sakura. Even though I have an unrequited love for her, I want her to be happy, he thought. "I made my decision, Ying Fa." He said. "I will help you. I don't care what my sister says. I will try to talk her out of this whole bullshit." He said. But, he knows his kid sister won't take it lightly.
"Thank you, Akito." Sakura nodded.
Sammi's lips curved into a smile of her own. "Thank you." she whispered. Sakura was amazed at how he could change. Was it for me?, she wondered. She looked at Syaoran and gave him a smile. Akito cleared his throat and stood up. "Well, I must leave. Midori and Ryu will wonder where I'm at." He bowed to them.
"Thank you, Angels of the Light." He said. Sakura lightly got Sammi off her lap and also stood up, facing Akito.
"So, do we have a truce and deal?" she smiled as she extended her hand. Akito nodded and smiled as he shook her hand. "Truce and deal." He said. He nodded towards the Angels and closed the door behind him.
"All right!" Minoru cheered. "Way to go, Sakura!"
Rika nodded. "And at first I thought you had one crazy-ass idea!" she laughed.
Sakura glared at her. "Gee, some friend you are." She smiled.
"Just playing." Rika stuck out her tongue at the Angel Leader. Sammi stood up and smiled. "At last, a part of our nightmare is over."
Sakura nodded as she patted her head. "Yeah, now we have to fight hard to end this." She said. Syaoran hugged her. "I'm so glad you're OK, Sakura." He whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her spine. "Get a room." Naoko rolled her eyes. The group shared a laugh.
"Well, we gotta go." Meiling winked at them as she took Kiyoshi's hand and began to lead him out. "We gotta go too." Tomoyo yawned and left with Eriol. Sakura smiled at Syaoran after all of their friends left. "Thank you, Syaoran."
Syaoran looked at confused. "For what, cherry blossom?" he asked. She tilted her chin up and brushed his lips with hers. "For worrying about me, for loving me." she whispered. Syaoran laughed a nice warm laugh and embraced her. "Sakura, I will always love you." his amber eyes showed tenderness. Sammi looked at them, smiling. She's so lucky, I wonder when can I have a wonderful man who will love me?, she thought. Sakura looked at Sammi and grinned. "OK, bedtime for you." she broke out of the hug. Sammi laughed and followed Sakura to the room. "Night, small lady." Sakura smiled at her and ruffled her bangs. Sammi hugged Sakura's waist. "Oyasumi nasai." She said. Sammi went to bed and Sakura turned off the light and closed the door. "She was really worried about you." Syaoran said. "Did she?" she asked. Syaoran nodded. "She looked so sad and I was instantly reminded of you."
"Me?" Sakura asked. Syaoran nodded again and took her hand. "You and Sammi share a lot of things. It's like she's your sister." He noted. Sakura thought about it then nodded. "You're right, she and I do share a lot in common." She agreed.
Syaoran led her to their room. "You must be tired." He grinned at her and lifted her into his arms, getting a squeak from her. "You know you like it." He teased her as he carried over to the bed. Sakura glared at him playfully. "So? Is that a crime?" she challenged. Syaoran shook his head and placed her gently on the mattress. "Nope." He laughed. Sakura tugged at his hand. "Let's go to sleep." She moved aside. "Ok." Syaoran complied, taking off his shirt and lying next to her. She lay on her side, facing him. Syaoran smiled at her tenderly. "Aishiteru, Ying Fa." He said as he lightly brushed a strand of hair off her face. Sakura snuggled against him, cradling her cheek against his naked chest. "Daisuki, Syaoran....." she said softly as she fell asleep.
-----------Hell Dragons Headquarters------------
Midori and Ryu walked towards the headquarters, their arms full of food for Hell Dragons. "God, those guys are picky!" Midori said in frustration. Ryu laughed at her tone. "Oh well, they're doin' us a favor, so we have to feed them."
Midori rolled her eyes. "They're greedy little pigs."
Ryu laughed again. Midori glared at him. "What's so damn funny?" she demanded.
Ryu chuckled, trying to calm down. "It's just that you got a cute Chinese accent."
Midori gave him her rare smile, making it hard to breathe for him. "Does it now?" she asked. Ryu just looked at her as they served the food. She moved quickly to serve the food, her movements quick and graceful. He felt even more drawn to the Chinese girl.
"I wonder where Akito is." Midori said as they were cleaning up. "Beats me. He might be in his room." Ryu said. Midori smiled and leaned close to him. "W-wha!?" he cried. "Same time tonight. There's something I must tell you." Midori whispered in his ear before grabbing her stuff and left, leaving Ryu with a beet-red face.
-------------------
Akito walked around his room, his mind somewhere else. He knew he had to tell Midori of the new plan, of his alliance with the Angels of the Light and their beautiful leader. Yet, he also knew his little sister wouldn't take the news lightly. She never took the news of their parents' deaths lightly and who could blame her?
----------Flashback-------------
"Midori......." Akito said to his 5-year old sister. Midori turned to look at him, a curious expression on her face.
"Mom and Dad are dead." He said. Midori's eyes widened and saw the tears welling up in them. "You lie! Stop joking, big brother!!" she wailed. Their grandmother, Mitsuko, held the child in her arms. "Midori, he's not lying......." she said with tears of her own. Midori looked up at her then buried her face in her dress and wept.
---------End of Flashback-----------
He sighed at the memory. The only person they had left was Grandmother Mitsuko, but a year after Midori was sentenced, she died of old age. Right after that, Akito moved out of the mansion and to Japan.
I guess I should wait a little, he thought, it's better if I tell her tomorrow.
He sat on his bed and memories began to race in his head again as he gazed at it. He remembered how frightened she looked beneath him. The usual way she looked at him was with cold, emotionless eyes. But she looked a whole new way when she's scared. She looked like a lost child, fearful.
Even though she will never return my feelings for her........, he smiled, I want her to be happy.
------Later That Night--------
Midori tip-toed to Ryu's room, wearing only her nightgown. She knew she was being a little too daring at doing this, but she couldn't deny it, she actually loved Ryu. She knew Ryu desired her, anyone could tell that. But did he love her back? He promised her once he would never get too near her in the plane and she knew because of that promise, she would have to make the move.
At first, she only thought of him as her partner, but as they grew closer and closer as the nights flew by, she opened her heart to him. She stood at Ryu's door, her heart pounding in her chest.
She slowly reached for the doorknob. Can she do this? Yeah, she must. She turned the knob and opened the door. His room was only lit by the fireplace. Ryu turned to her, his chest bare. She gasped silently, her blood growing warm. She entered the room and silently closed the door behind her.
"Midori......." he said softly. She was only dressed in her nightgown and when he looked closer, he blushed at discovering something else; beneath it, she was completely naked.
She walked over to him, her gentle eyes never leaving his. She rested a hand on his chest and smiled. "Ryu, I want to tell you........" she trailed off, taking a deep breath.
"Tell me what?" he asked, placing his hand on her warm cheek. She stood on her toes and lightly kissed him. She pulled away and whispered. "I love you."
Ryu just stared at her, his joy waiting to burst. He pulled her into his arms, holding her tight.
His hands ran through her dark green hair, sending shivers down her back. She looked up at him and barely reacted when he slanted his mouth over hers. Her eyes closed on their own, enjoying his kiss. He lifted her up, still ravishing her mouth, and carried over to the bed. Mists of desire began to fog up her mind as Ryu gently laid her on the bed and got on top of her.
"I love you, Midori Suzume."
----------Tokyo U, Next Day-----------
"Are you sure you know what you're doing, Sakura?" Meiling asked her best friend as the gang walked towards the school. Sakura nodded, her gaze fixed ahead of her.
"Hai, I'm sure."
"B-But he was our enemy! He sided with Ryu and Hell Dragons! Can we even trust him on this?" Tomoyo asked, a bit worried.
Sakura was quiet for a moment. She realized he sided with Hell Dragons and that bastard, Ryu. Yet, she understood what he felt. The feeling of being able to do anything to avenge your parents' deaths. "I know that too, and the feeling of going to the extreme to avenge the ones you love." She said softly.
"Like you, you challenged Hell Dragons to avenge Nadeshiko." Eriol said. "That's right." Sakura replied. Syaoran looked at from the corner of his eye. He knew Akito and Midori's pain; he remembered her telling him of the tragic bombing that ended their parents' lives. She shed bitter tears as she told him the story. He saw the grief and anger in her eyes. He saw those same emotions when Sakura told him of her past. He saw the anger and pain in her emerald pools.
"Hey, Syaoran?" Sakura snapped him out of it by waving her hand in front of his face. "Y-Yeah?" he said, startled. He looked around and found himself at the hallway already. "You OK? You seemed pretty out of it." She noted. Syaoran laughed and wrapped his arm around her slim waist. "Don't worry."
"If you say so." She said uncertainly. Syaoran smiled and pulled her close to him. Now that I look back, she's really changed in a way, he thought, at first she hated me because of her fears, but we both grew to love each other and now.......I feel like the luckiest man alive.
Sakura noticed his smile and using her engagement ring, she lightly hit him on the cheek. "Hey, Little Wolf!" she smiled. Syaoran looked down at her. "Emerald, I love you." he said. Sakura blushed at his words as if it was the first time he ever said them. She then smiled and gave him a quick peck on the lips.
"Aishiteru, Syaoran!" she said.
Suddenly, a shot gave off, startling both of them. Alerted, Sakura ran to the bug windows and looked out to see what was going on. Hell Dragons were creating havoc at the courtyard.
"Damn them! Can't they ever give us a moment of peace!?" she bared her teeth. Syaoran took her hand and began to lead her out of the building. "Quick! Get the others and let's go!"
Sakura tapped her emerald earrings, nodding. "Roger!" she said as she began to send her thoughts to her Angels.
Angels of the Light! Hell Dragons are out of their cages! Go to the courtyard, guns drawn ASAP!!
The mass of students running around gave Syaoran and Sakura the chance to hide behind some bushes. Sakura quickly took out her wig, twisted her hair up, and put the pink wig on. She grabbed her twins and left her bag. She and Syaoran came out of the bushes and saw about 20 Hell Dragons firing shots.
"God, they're so annoying!" Sakura growled in fury. She also noticed something odd........
"Ryu!!" she gasped.
"What about him?" Syaoran asked.
"Ryu isn't with them!!"
"What!?"
One of them noticed them and yelled. "It's Ying Fa and her Wolf!"
Hell Dragons stopped firing at aimed their guns at them. "Not so fast, little boys!" Meiling smirked as the rest of the Angels popped up from behind them, guns aimed.
"Great timing, guys!" Sakura smiled at them, and then glared at Hell Dragons.
"Alright! Where's that stupid leader of yours!?" she demanded. Of the Hell
Dragons spat back at her. "He stayed behind! He told us to come here to cause trouble!!"
"Why am I not surprised?" Sakura said sarcastically. "Now, get the fuck out of our school! And if you ever, ever set foot on this school again and panic the students, words ain't gonna hit ya next time, now fuck off!!" she yelled.
Hell Dragons didn't need second words; they took off, leaving dust behind them.
"Pussies!!!" Meiling shouted after them.
"And they call themselves men." Rika rolled her eyes.
"Good job, you guys. That was a close shave." Sakura sighed. Tomoyo grinned and pointed to her earring. "Good thing I remembered to wear them today."
"Boy, you're such a space-case." Terada-sensei teased her. Tomoyo reddened and flicked him off. "Urusei!" she snapped, making everyone laugh.
"Sakura?" Syaoran said, noticing she wasn't laughing at all. Her face was in a very serious expression. "It's a small wonder why he didn't show up. Usually he would be with them, pretending to be tough boss man."
"Now that you think about it, it is weird!" Naoko said in thought.
"Shall we go pound them?" Minoru suggested. Sakura shook her head. "Iie, it's not the time yet."
----------Hell Dragons Headquarters-----------
The slight glare of the sunlight woke Midori up. She slowly sat up, covering her naked body with the blood-red blanket. Next to her was Ryu, sleeping contently. She smiled and ran her slim fingers in his blond hair. Memories of that night raced in her head and blushed. She was about to get off the bed when something grabbed her hand. She looked down to see Ryu smiling at her. "Mornin'."
"Hi." She said.
"Lord Ryu!!" A guard's voice boomed from outside the room. Midori squeaked and hid under the covers. Ryu placed the pillows over her and shouted back. "What the fuck do you want!?"
A member of Hell Dragons came in accompanied by 2 others. "We tried to attack the Angels of the Light at school, sir!" the man said.
Ryu looked at them. "At Tokyo U!?!" he yelled.
"Y-Yeah! We tried to fight them, but they surprised us, we had to run for it!" another man said. Ryu finally snapped.
"You fools!!" he shouted. The men fell silent at his outburst. Ryu panted in anger as he glared at the three of them. "Now the Angels of the Light are gonna be after our heads!!! And it's not time for the gang war yet, you morons!" he said. The three men bowed clumsily. "We're deeply sorry, Lord Ryu!" they all said in unison.
"You better be!" Ryu growled. "Because if the Angels come to attack us now, it's your asses, not mine. Now leave!!"
"My Lord." They saluted and quickly shut the door.
"What a bunch of dumbasses." Midori commented as she threw the pillow off her and sat up again. "Tell me about it." Ryu sighed. Midori giggled. "It's was so funny the way they acted like kids when you yelled."
"I had to! They're so goddamned thick-headed." Ryu crossed his arms. Midori hugged him and sighed. "Don't get out the room today, stay with me. And together, we'll kill the Angels of the Light." She said, smirking. Ryu nodded and smirked back. "You get your revenge against Syaoran and I'll get my revenge on Sakura."
"You're on." She said.
"What about Shiro and his girls?" Ryu asked. Midori turned around, her back to him. "My brother will take care of it, he is doing this in the name of our family after all." She said, making her point.
"True." Ryu nodded slowly. "But, what will your brother say when he finds out his kid sister was fucked by Hell Dragons' leader?"
Midori winked at him. "He doesn't have to know."
"Sneaky." Ryu noted. Midori laughed and tapped him on the nose. "That's what's so great about me."
---------Kurisami Manor--------------
Shiro walked around in thought. "Damn those Angels of the Light!" he cursed. "Now, I bet they're gonna try to kill me too, just like that freak on the loose!"
All of this mess because I ruined the Suzume family, one of the most powerful in Hong Kong, he thought. "So, Mr. Kurisami, what do you want us to do?" A small group of men dressed in black suits and wore sunglasses was in his living room with him. The leader, a tall man of brown hair asked him that question.
Shiro looked at him and said.
"Ever since I found out they know about how I took the Suzume family business and fortune away, I've been preoccupied."
"Well then, what shall you do about this situation?" the man asked. Shiro faced them all and smirked. "I want you to take back my granddaughter, Sammi, first of all. And I want you all to kill the Angels of the Light's leader, Miss Sakura Kinomoto." He commanded.
