Chapter 7: Warriors Of The Night
Sakura slowly entered Syaoran's room. He lay still on the bed, shirtless, so Sakura saw the big, blood-stained bandage covering his side. Monitors were all around him, beeping non-stop. His eyes were closed still and she could still see that pained expression; she could tell he was in a lot of pain. She walked over to the bed and sat down on a chair the hospital put there for visitors. She reached out and took his hand. I can't feel his warmth......., she thought sadly as she gazed at his hand in her grasp. She brought it up to her cheek and closed her eyes, pain already seizing her heart.
"I'm so sorry, Syaoran........." she whispered, holding his hand tightly.
The Angels of the Light all stood outside Syaoran's room in silence, waiting for their turn to see him. Sammi was the first one to break it. "Do you think Sakura will go after Midori's throat now?" she asked Meiling. Meiling's eyes clouded as she replied. "If Syaoran dies, Sakura will be a merciless demon for the rest of her days."
Tomoyo ruffled Sammi's hair. "Syaoran is the important person in Sakura's life. You heard about her parents' deaths, right?"
"Yeah." Sammi nodded.
"Well........." Tomoyo said. "After her mother's death; Sakura was empty, even though she loved being with us, she still wanted the other-sided love like the one her parents gave her. It was all like this until Syaoran came into her life. He helped her smile at life again and the Sakura before her parents' deaths was back."
"Wow......" Sammi said.
Eriol nodded. "Yeah, Syaoran's had a strong impact in Sakura."
Naoko frowned. "I say we go pay Midori a late-night visit and scare the living shit out of her." she suggested.
"Charming idea." Chiharu said. "But I think we should let Sakura be the Grim Reaper for this one."
The door opened and Sakura came out, looking awfully pale. "OK, I'm going in. Come on, Meiling." Eriol said. Meiling only nodded and followed him into Syaoran's room. Sakura looked out the window and saw the glowing crescent Moon setting above the stars. She put her hands in her pockets and felt her guns. She nodded and started walking away. "Where are you going?" Minoru asked her. She stopped and looked over her shoulder at her friends. "Gonna give a pal a visit." She looked forward again and left.
Tomoyo grinned. "And we were just talking about that."
----------Outside Hell Dragons Headquarters-----------
Sakura ran swiftly yet quietly along the woods that led to the Hell Dragons Headquarters. She found a comfortable pace and was only armed with her knife, leaving her guns in her car. She saw the huge shadow of the Headquarters and stopped, using the shadows of the trees as camouflage. She saw the dull light in Ryu's room and smirked. She slowly came out of the shadows and ducked low, running along the outer walls, searching for Midori's room.
Midori lay on her bed, eyes closed, light off. She thought of what happened tonight at the apartment building. She saw the way Sakura's expression changed at seeing Syaoran hurt but what amazed her the most was that Syaoran jumped in to take the bullet instead of Sakura. She tried to silence her thoughts and tried to sleep when suddenly, she felt something sharp and cold against her throat. Startled, she opened her eyes to see a woman on top of her, the girl's green eyes flashed dangerously, like a wild beast ready to kill. Midori could see the cherry blossom necklace she wore glowing in the moonlight and the way the glow of her hair gave away its auburn color.
Sakura!!
Sakura smirked at seeing Midori's shocked and fearful look on her face. She was on top of Midori, holding the knife to her throat. "How did you get in without me hearing!?" Midori hissed at her. Sakura smirked at her and said. "Years of intensive training."
Midori glared at her, despite the fact that she was scared and Sakura looked ready to slit her throat. "So why don't you kill me now then?" she asked.
Sakura pushed the knife a little more against her throat in threat. "I could if I wanted to, but, I'm only here to warn you."
"Of what?" Midori whispered.
Sakura leaned down so she could see Midori meeting her eyes. "If Syaoran dies, it'll be your blood on the floor, girlie. And I don't think Ryu would like having his blood shed on the floor with yours."
Midori's light green eyes widened. "What's Ryu got to do with this?"
Sakura smirked and raised an eyebrow at her. "Don't play it the innocent, I know you've been screwing Ryu and you're enamored with him."
Midori gasped. "How do you know!?"
Sakura had to laugh at her shock. "I have a power and I can see the future. Though......." her smile grew bigger. "Didn't you know he has a son?"
Midori felt her heart breaking at hearing her. "You lie!" she cried. Sakura shook her head. "Nope, ain't lying. He screwed a girl last year whose name was Rei and he left her pregnant. Since she was arrested with the previous Hell Dragons, she gave birth to her child in a prison and she's raising him there without a father."
Midori felt tears stinging up her eyes. "I don't believe you." she whispered. "Well then........" Sakura said. Before Midori could think, Sakura struck her on the face, leaving her unconscious. "That's for Syaoran, bitch." Sakura spat and left the room through the window.
--------Back At The Hospital---------
Sakura walked up to Syaoran's room and saw everyone there. "Sakura, the doctor said he's gonna do the operation on Syaoran. He said we can watch if we want to, but it can only be 4 of us." Eriol said to her. Sakura nodded and tapped Eriol, Meiling, and Tomoyo on the shoulder. "Let's go." She smiled weakly.
She turned to the rest and said. "You guys stay here, we'll be right back."
"You got it, leader!" Chiharu gave her a two-finger salute.
"Okay!" Sammi nodded. "Be strong for him, Sakura." Terada-sensei said.
"We're behind you!" Minoru said.
"Don't let those doctors fail!" Takashi said.
"Pray for him, Sakura." Chiharu said.
Rika smiled at them and said. "He'll be OK."
Sakura wiped a tear from her eye and smiled at her friends. "Thank you." she turned to Eriol, Tomoyo, and Meiling and they nodded. The 4 of them headed to the operation room.
"Okay, give me that knife......" the doctor had his hand out to a nurse. The nurse nodded and handed him a knife from the tool tray. Six people were all gathered around Syaoran, who was deep asleep because of the sleeping gas they put on him. Outside, Sakura, Eriol, Meiling, and Tomoyo all watched trough the glass window. Sakura held had her hand on top of the other laying on her chest, touching her engagement ring. Be strong, Syaoran, she thought as her fingers felt the smooth emerald in the middle of the cherry blossom ring. She watched the doctor pick at Syaoran's side, trying to get the bullet out. Suddenly, a strong beep sounded off. The doctor raised his head in alarm and looked at the monitors. "What the hell!?" he cried. "His vitals are crashing!" the nurse cried. Sakura gasped as she heard their words. Meiling had tears in her eyes and was on the verge to burst into tears. Tomoyo wrapped her arms around her friend, trying to soothe her. Eriol put his hand on Tomoyo's shoulder and said nothing. Sakura felt the tears in her own eyes as she watched the people in the room rush, trying to get Syaoran alright again.
"We're losing him!" the doctor shouted. At hearing those words, Sakura snapped. She pounded on the glass window, tears running down her face like rain. "Syaoran!! Please don't die!! SYAORAN!!" She screamed, feeling the hopelessness grip her heart.
Ah, where am I?
Syaoran found himself in a cold, dark place. He felt a sharp pain in his side and flinched. It hurts, he thought. He looked around and saw a light not too far from him. He started going towards it when a girl's desperate pleas reached his ears.
Syaoran!! Please don't die!! SYAORAN!!
He gasped and turned to where the voice came from.
Sakura?
He then remembered. He couldn't leave her; he wanted to be alive to marry her, for them to start their own family. He turned away from the light and started running towards her voice.
Wait for me, Sakura!
"Alright! He's back up!" the nurse cried as she saw the monitors. Sakura stopped her pounding at hearing her and smiled, despite her tears.
"Syaoran, hold on!" she cried. The doctor grinned at her and finished getting the bullet out. They cleaned his wound and patched him up. The doctor came, taking his gloves off.
"Is he OK, doctor!?" Sakura asked worriedly. The doctor smiled and nodded. "Yes, he's fine now. You go to your friends and tell them they need sleep, alright?"
Sakura felt more tears run down her cheeks. She nodded and ran to her friends.
"Guys, go home and rest. I'll.......I'll stay here with him." She said to them. Everyone nodded and started to leave. "By the way, Sakura, the doctor said they put Syaoran back to his room so he's just resting. He's waiting for you." Eriol said to Sakura and gave her a pat on her shoulder. "Thank you, Eriol." She said softly. Eriol nodded and left with Tomoyo. Sakura slowly opened the door and saw him resting in his bed. His face was relaxed but she could still a bit of pain. At the least he doesn't look like he's in agony anymore, she thought as she sat on the chair. She reached out and stroked his dark hair and looked at his bandage, it was new and had very little blood on it. Sakura sighed relief and suddenly felt tired. She laid her head by him and held his hand, letting his presence help her feel calm.
Come back to me, Syaoran........., she thought as she drifted off to sleep.
Syaoran woke up and gave a small groan as he felt a sting at his side. Ah, I remember. Midori tried to shoot Sakura but I took it instead. I remember Sakura being by my side in the ambulance....... and at the operation room.........where is she?, he thought as his eyes gained focus. He felt something warm holding his hand and looked to his side. Sakura was asleep with her head on his bed, holding his hand. He smiled and lightly caressed her face. She stayed the entire night with me, he thought as he stroked her warm cheek. Sakura gave a light moan as she felt something caress her. Her eyes opened slowly and looked up. She gasped as she saw Syaoran, alive, smiling at her.
"Morning, beautiful." He said, smiling at her. Sakura felt the tears running down her face. She stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck, her tears moistening his skin. 'Syaoran, I'm so sorry!" she cried. He smiled and closed his eyes, wrapping his arms around her, ignoring the small pain in his side. "It's OK, Sakura. It's OK........." he whispered into her ear. Sakura cried softly in his neck, the relief washing through her. "I thought you were gonna die........" she whispered. Syaoran chuckled and lightly pressed a kiss to her cheek. "Don't worry, I'm here........" he said.
Sakura looked up into his eyes and smiled. Syaoran smiled back and kissed her. Sakura felt all of the pain being released as he kissed her. She was happy that he was alive and was with her. Thank you.....thank you so much.......
Syaoran broke the kiss and rubbed his cheek against hers. "I love you too much to let you go, Sakura." He said. Sakura breathed in his peony scent and said. "If you've died, I would've killed Midori for it."
Syaoran laughed and patted her head. "My brave Sakura."
"My, how cute!" Meiling's voice said from behind them. They both turned around to find Tomoyo, Meiling, Eriol, and Sammi. "Guys!" Sakura smiled. "Good to see your smile back, Sakura." Tomoyo said with a smile of her own.
"How are you feeling, Syaoran-baby?" Meiling asked as she placed a hand on his forehead.
"Good, though my side hurts a little." Syaoran grinned as he pulled Sakura off her chair to sit on the bed next to him, making her squeak. "Poor Syaoran." Sammi tsk tsked. "I know, right?" he joked.
"You're obviously OK if you can still behave like a little child." Eriol laughed. "So, Sakura, what happened last night when you left?" Tomoyo asked. Syaoran looked at his fiancé along with everyone else.
"I went to Hell Dragons Headquarters and scared the living shit out of Midori holding a knife to her throat." Sakura said. Syaoran stared at her wide-eyed. "You went there!?" he cried. Sakura looked at him and nodded. "I threatened her that if you die, I would kill both her and Ryu."
"Question!" Eriol said confused. "What's Ryu got to do with it?"
Sakura laughed. "I forgot to tell you. I had a vision a couple of nights ago and from that vision, I found out that Ryu got himself a new sex toy."
That got a reaction from everyone. "NANI!?" They all shouted, making Sakura cover her ears and cringe. "Geez, I just woke up, keep it down!" she whined.
"And did you tell her when you visited her?" Meiling asked. Sakura nodded. "And I told her about Rei."
Eriol rolled his eyes. "Oh yeah, that slut who ended up getting herself pregnant with Ryu's child." He said sarcastically.
"Uh oh, Eriol's being sarcastic, take cover." Tomoyo joked. Syaoran light patted Sakura's head. "Go to the apartment and go eat your breakfast. I don't want you to starve to death for me." he chuckled. Sakura pouted at this. "B-But!" she was about to complain when Syaoran placed two fingers on her lips. "Now go, I'm OK now." He smiled at her. Sakura nodded slowly and got up. She looked at him one more time before she left the room.
"Dude, and I was about to tell you both the doctor's releasing you today." Eriol laughed. "Then I'll give my girl a surprise." Syaoran winked at him, making everyone laugh.
"That's the Syaoran we know and love." Tomoyo said with a grin.
---------Hell Dragons Headquarters------------
Midori felt a throb of pain in the side of her face and groaned. She slowly got up, her eyes focusing. She rubbed her cheek and felt more pain. I remember! That bitch, Sakura came into my room and knocked me out!, she thought as she slipped out of bed. She grabbed her robe and opened her door. She ran to Ryu's room, wanting some explanations.
She found Ryu up and was staring into the fireplace. He turned around and looked at her. A smile spread his lips. "Ah, Midori." He said pleasantly. She felt her blood boil. "You bastard!" she yelled at him, wanting to strangle him for what she was told about him.
Ryu looked at her, pretty confused. "What the fuck did I do!?" he said. Midori glared at him as she neared him. "You left a girl named Rei pregnant and you never even bothered to tell me......" she said in a dangerous voice. Ryu's eyes widened at hearing her and gasped. "How did you find out about Rei?"
"Ying Fa paid me a visit last night and told me that while holding a knife to my throat." She said. Ryu fueled at that. "How dare she!?" he roared.
"I deserved it." She said softly. "Huh!?" Ryu said.
Midori didn't meet his eyes as she spoke. "Yesterday, I shot Syaoran. Sakura came to me and said that if he dies, it'll be your blood and mine on the floor."
Ryu paled as he felt cold fear run down his spine. "And we both know what she's capable of." He said.
"She knows about us, Ryu!" Midori cried. That was news to him too. "What!?" he cried. Midori nodded slowly. "How does she know, Ryu?" she asked in a soft voice.
"Her gift........" Ryu remembered.
"Gift?" Midori voiced.
Ryu nodded as the memory came back to him. "When my father murdered her mother years ago, Sakura developed a power to sense things going on the future. She must've developed that power."
"So that's how she gained that legend of her being able to track any rapist in this town." She said. Ryu nodded. "It developed because of her trauma."
"Trauma?' Midori asked.
Ryu nodded. "She suffered a major trauma since her mother was killed right in front of her."
Midori didn't know that about the Angel Leader. "You father's a cruel man." She whispered. Ryu turned to her. "My father had every right to kill her!"
Midori gasped at his words. "That's horrible! What did her family do that gave your father the right to murder Sakura's mother right in front of her!?" she demanded. Ryu looked straight into her eyes as he spoke. "The Kinomoto family had a richness my family wanted."
Midori felt like slapping him. "What a cruel thing to say! No one has the right to kill for money, no one!"
"Midori....." Ryu said, shocked. Midori just glared at him and turned away. "I'm going to my room." she said coldly before leaving the room.
--------That Evening---------
"Be safe at Tomoyo's, OK, Sammi?" Sakura spoke on the phone. "Alright, I will!" Sammi's cheerful voice responded from the other end. Sakura smiled. "Good, I'll pick you up tomorrow, bye."
She hung up and sighed in relief. She went to her bedroom and grabbed her nightwear. She went into her bathroom to change.
Syaoran came in quietly, a devilish smile on his lips. The hospital let him go and he knew Sakura wasn't aware of it. He saw the open door of their room and walked to the door and stayed there. Sakura came out in a nightdress and was about to go the kitchen to put away dishes when she stopped dead in her tracks at seeing the man at her door. She gasped loudly and felt weak-keened. Syaoran smiled at her reaction and reached out to touch her face.
"Miss me?" he asked teasingly. Sakura smiled and lunged herself at him, wrapping her arms tight around his neck. "Hai!" she said. Syaoran chuckled as he smoothed her back and stroked her hair. "Well I'm back." he said. Sakura looked into his eyes and nodded. "I love you, Syaoran." She said softly.
Syaoran leaned down and captured her lips. "I love you too, Sakura." He said between kisses. He used his free arm and closed the door from behind, locking it. Sakura's hands immediately went for the buttons of his shirt while Syaoran was already undoing the buttons on hers.
"We haven't done this in quite a while." Sakura smiled as he was unclipping her bra. Syaoran smiled on the skin of her neck and said. "Yep, but since Sammi is away, we should take the chance."
Sakura moaned as he lightly nipped at her neck, his hands caressing her bare breasts. He walked her backwards to the bed and tackled her, making her laugh. She lay beneath him, her long hair spread across the pillows, making her look like a goddess. He smiled and kissed her again. "I can't wait for this to end, I want you to marry me." he muttered against her mouth while pulling down her shorts along with her panties. Sakura pulled away and smiled back at him, her cheek lightly stroking his cheek.
"I will marry you." she said.
Syaoran smiled again and pulled his pants down with his boxers. "I want you now." He said and thrust inside her. Sakura arched her hips, the feelings she hasn't had in a while coming back to her. He moved in an entrancing rhythm while whispering kisses to her lips.
"I will always love you, my Emerald." He whispered. Sakura wrapped her arms and legs around him and whispered back.
"I will too."
----------A Prison In America-----------
A young woman sat in her cell, gazing outside the barred window, her face cast in a sad expression. The baby in her rams squirmed and gave a small cry. She looked down at the baby and smiled. "You're supposed to be asleep, Ryutaro." She said as she traced the shape of his face with her finger. Ryutaro giggled, his deep blue eyes twinkling at her. Rei Arisugawa was in a hell of her own, her own son the only light of her life. She was sent to this prison in America right after her sentence. Lila Emika came to visit her once and confessed being her twin sister. Rei wanted to dismiss the stupid statement but couldn't ignore the fact that they were alike. Lila told her of their life, how their parents divorced when they were born. And all of that happened a month before Rei gave birth to her son, Ryutaro Namura. Since the people in the prison wanted to punish her, they never hired a nurse to help her through her birthing. Only her cellmate, a woman named Alessa, was kind enough to help her. Alessa used to work in a hospital, helping women give birth so she volunteered to help Rei. It was the most painful experience Rei ever had. But, after all of that pain, her son was born healthy. Now, Ryutaro was 4 months old and looked so much like his father, the same blond hair and same deep blue eyes. The only difference between them is that Ryu always gave her the coldest look while her baby's eyes showed warmth and love for her. Rei hugged her baby, tears slowly trickling down her cheeks.
"Oh Ryutaro, you're all I have left." She whispered.
"Thinking about Ryutaro's father again?" Alessa's voice said from behind her. Rei turned her head around and saw Alessa sitting up in her bunk, staring at her.
"Yeah." Rei nodded.
"He threw you away, remember?" Alessa reminded her. Rei nodded again, her hands lightly stroking Ryutaro's hair. "I know, yet, he doesn't know about his son." she pointed out.
"True." Alessa said. "But, pretty soon your sentence will be over and going back to Japan."
Rei tightened her grip on her baby. "I will tell him. I will tell Ryu that he has a son and is responsible to raise him. I won't allow Ryutaro to be raised without a father."
Alessa arched an eyebrow at Rei. "Just like you and Ryu were raised without a mother?"
Alessa's words got Rei. She nodded, feelings the emptiness inside her growing. "Yes, I was raised by a single parent as Ryu was. I don't want the same to happen to Ryutaro, he deserves more."
"You're a very considerate mother, Rei. And you don't see that everyday." Alessa said, smiling at her.
"Thank you, Alessa, for helping me with Ryutaro." Rei said gratefully. Rei dismissed her thanks with a wave of her hand. "It's OK, I wanted to help. I love my job of helping women bringing their children into the world. But Rei........" she turned serious. "When you're released from jail in a couple of weeks and return to Japan, what are you gonna do?" she asked.
Rei looked at Ryutaro, he grinned her while trying to reach her face with his small hands. Rei kissed his head and said to Alessa. "I'm going to search for Ryu and tell him of his son he threw away."
Alessa smiled in approval. "My thoughts exactly."
----------The Next Day-----------
Syaoran up to find Sakura still asleep in his arms. He smiled and kissed her brow. He knew how worried she was about him, everyone told him how scared she was, how much she feared death at that moment. His cell phone suddenly rang. He grabbed it before it woke Sakura.
"Hello?"
"Syaoran." A disturbingly familiar voice said from the other end. Syaoran made a face and snarled into the phone. "What the fuck do you want, you bitch?"
"Come to the front of the apartment building and bring Sakura with you, I have to speak to you two." Midori said.
"Is this another of your fucking tricks?" he hissed.
"No." she hung up.
"Damn her!" Syaoran growled as he hung up too. "Syaoran.....?" Sakura's light voice stopped him from swearing more. He smiled down at her. "Morning, Ying Fa."
She frowned at him. "What did she want?" she asked. Syaoran stared at her wide-eyed the laughed. "I just can't hide anything from you anymore, eh?" he teased.
Still, Sakura held her stony expression. "Cut the crap and tell me." she said in soft threat. Syaoran's smile dropped and sighed. "She wants us outside the building; she says she wants to say something to us."
Sakura got off the bed and put her robe over her naked body. She walked over to her closet and brought out a wide box. She opened it and took out a shotgun, startling Syaoran with that weapon.
"Just in case." Sakura said as she loaded the shotgun.
---------Outside The Apartment Building------------
Sakura and Syaoran stood outside the apartment building, Sakura holding the shotgun in her hands. "No need for guns, Angel Leader, I didn't come here to fight." Midori said as she walked towards them, dressed in a white coat, wearing a hat, and shades.
"Why the fuck should we believe you!? You fucking shot Syaoran and he could've died because of you!" Sakura said as she held the shotgun tight in her grasp. Midori flinched at her tone and cleared her throat. "Anyways, I came to ask about that girl you told me about, the one who's got Ryu's child."
Sakura looked at her funny but still held the shotgun tight. "You mean Rei Arisugawa?" she asked.
"Yes." Midori nodded. "Tell me about her."
Syaoran looked at her pretty confused but spoke. "Rei was my ex-girlfriend before Sakura. After she found out about her going out with me, she joined Hell Dragons and got laid with Ryu. When she was arrested, she was tested and ended being pregnant. We didn't find out till she was sentenced. We recently heard about her from her twin sister, Lila, she gave birth to a son and named him Ryutaro."
Midori's light green eyes darkened in anger. "So, he left a girl pregnant.......and did he found out?"
Sakura nodded. "Yeah and he's supposed to pay for child support, but he didn't. He threw her away and his child within her." she said.
Midori gasped quietly. "That's horrible."
Syaoran felt anger getting to him already. "He even tried to rape Sakura once."
"What!?" Midori cried.
Syaoran nodded. "Yeah, all he wanted was Sakura's virginity and possess her. He wanted her because he knew he couldn't have her, he was below her. His father started Hell Dragons in order to kill Sakura and her brother for the family fortune they had in their hands. Ryu agreed to be part of the scheme to get Sakura in his bed. You see Midori; you fell in love with the wrong person."
Midori clenched her hands into tight fists, her pain and anger searing within her. Sakura a little sorry for her and said. "I know about your pain about your parents' deaths and I know the pain of losing those dearest to you. I lost my dad when I was 4 and my mother was raped and murdered before me very eyes when I was 10. That's why we the Angels of the Light will help you and your brother get back at Shiro Kurisami."
Midori stared at her curiously. "But if you help us, he'll want you dead." She pointed out.
Sakura nodded in acknowledgement. "Yes, I'm aware of that and he's already hunting for my blood but he knows he can't beat me, I got my Angels behind me all the way."
"I wish I had that many people behind me......my brother is the only one I can count on. I thought I could count on Ryu too, but I was mistaken." She said sadly.
Sakura grinned. "I know a way to get back at Ryu." Midori and Syaoran stared at her.
"How, Sakura?" Syaoran asked.
"It's time we bring back and old friend." Sakura grinned evilly.
