Chapter 11

"Where were you?" asked Fujitaka again in a more angry tone.
.

"Sakura, phone for you," said Yuki, presenting Sakura with a phone.Sakura lied gloomily on her bed, ignoring Yuki. Her eyes were red from crying and it looked like she has never slept for days. Her rosy cheeks were replaced with pale skin and she refused to eat."My lady, it is Tomoyo who has called for you," said Yuki, concern written all over her face. 'I wonder what happened to Sakura...' she thought.Sakura's eyes widened and she felt her spirits rise. She reached to grab the phone and answered dully, "Tomoyo...""Hey Sakura! Is everything all right? You haven't been to school for two days. Are you sick? But oh my gosh! Eriol asked me to be his girlfriend! Isn't that great?" exclaimed Tomoyo's voice over the phone.Sakura made a small weak smile. "That's great Tomoyo..." said Sakura. Her thoughts flowed to Eriol. 'Did he tell my father that he doesn't want to take my hand in marriage...?"I know. Thanks Sakura! But why are you talking so softly? Did I wake you up? I'm sorry!""No... It's all right," mumbled Sakura, tears filling her eyes once more."Then why does it sound like you're crying? I can hear you sniffling. Sakura! Tell me what happened? Did Syaoran do anything?!?!?!" yelled Tomoyo, worried.Sakura pulled the phone away from her ear after Tomoyo's outburst. "No, the night was great...""Then why do you sound so depressed? Sakura! Baby, darling! What's the matter?" asked Tomoyo.Sakura finally cried out. "My father has forbidden me from going to public school and seeing Syaoran! I'm not allowed to go out!" cried Sakura, tears streaming down her face. "How am I going to tell Syaoran? This is not fair!"Tomoyo's heart reached out for Sakura. "I'm so sorry Sakura. It's all my fault. I should've reminded you to come back to my house to change and you to sneak back into your house," said Tomoyo, quietly."No.. It's not your fault Tomo.. I was having such a great time with Syaoran. The best time of my life and I stupidly forgot about sneaking back in. W-what am I going to do?""Don't worry, Saku. I'll tell Syaoran and I'll find a way to help you. You can count on it," said Tomoyo, trying to make Sakura feel better.Sakura sniffled. "Thanks Tomoyo. You're the best friend I've ever had," said Sakura, giving a smile that she didn't give for days."No problem. That's what friends are for," said Tomoyo. "I've got to go but I'll talk to you later. Bye!""Bye, bye," said Sakura and she hung up the phone.She rolled over to her side and grabbed her pillow and hugged it tight.

Syaoran walked into the classroom, unusually early and sat in the back of the room. So far he had managed to come to school every day on time just to see Sakura. Syaoran frowned when he saw Sakura's seat empty.'Where did she go? Did she go back to private school? Is she sick?' thought Syaoran, worriedly.He looked around the room and saw Tomoyo walk in. "I'll ask her," said Syaoran, quietly and walked up to her."Hey Syaoran," greeted Tomoyo, uneasily.Syaoran noticed this and frowned. "Hi Tomoyo. Do you know where Sakura is?" he asked.Tomoyo looked around and walked to the back of the room with Syaoran behind her. She turned sharply around and whispered, "Sakura is forbidden to come to school and to see you."The chocolate haired teenager frowned in confusion. "What? Why?" he asked.The girl in front of him sighed. "Sakura forgot to come to my house to change and sneak into her home. Her father isn't the type of person to let his child go out on a school day with a boy like you, wearing clothes that he despises."Syaoran suddenly felt bad. "Man, this is all my fault," he said, scratching his head."Well, do you love her?" asked Tomoyo, looking up at Syaoran with narrowed eyes.Syaoran gulped and his face turned slightly pink. "Um.. Uh..." he mumbled, not knowing what to say."Well..?" said Tomoyo, tapping her foot."I-I..." said Syaoran, looking around. 'Do I really love her?' he thought. "I-I.. I like her..." he said finally.Tomoyo narrowed her eyes at him. 'I know he loves her. He just can't say that he does. Well, I'll just make him prove that he loves her...' she thought with a grin. "Do you want to see her again?" she asked him."Yeah," came the reply."Then you'll just do as I say," said Tomoyo, her plan about to unfold.Syaoran looked at her curiously, wondering what her plan consist of.

Night had fallen and Sakura still laid in bed. Her father hadn't spoken to her ever since he caught her and she still hasn't eaten anything since then."Sakura, you must eat," urged Yuki, bringing in a tray of food.Sakura gazed out the window, not acknowledging Yuki's presence. Yuki started to get worried as she saw her mistress becoming thinner and thinner."My lady, please eat," said Yuki, more loudly.Sakura turned her head to Yuki. Her eyes were filled with sadness. "Take it back, Yuki," she said softly. "I'm not hungry."Yuki frowned. 'What's wrong with Lady Sakura?' she thought. She obeyed her mistress's order and shook her head as she walked out of the room.Sakura let out a big sigh and turned her head towards her window. 'Maybe I should run away...' she thought. Then she shook her head. Her father would track her down eventually. He would call the police and everybody and cause a big commotion. And when her father finds her, she would sure get in BIG trouble.

"Hello, Mr. Hiiragizawa," greeted Fujitaka, as Eriol nervously entered the room and greeted back politely. "What can I do for you?""U-um.. U-uhh..." stuttered Eriol. His palms started getting sticky with his hands together so he shoved them in his pockets."Yes..?" said Fujitaka, eyeing the blue haired man curiously."I uh.. I..." said Eriol, looking at the ground childishly. He finally took a deep breath and let it out. "I'm deeply sorry, Mr. Kinomoto. But I have to break my hand in marriage with your daughter."He saw Fujitaka frowned and added in quickly, "It's not Sakura's fault, sir. Your daughter is a rare beauty and amazing but I find her as a good friend, as I am to her."Fujitaka nodded. On the outside he looked calm and understandable but in the inside he was pissed. 'Another one?' he thought angrily. He muttered something under his breath that Eriol couldn't hear. "That's fine, Eriol. I'm glad that you're at least friends with my daughter," he said as calmly as he could.Eriol sighed in relief. "Thank you, Mr. Kinomoto. But may I see lady Sakura?" he asked."Sakura isn't here today. Maybe another time," said Fujitaka grimly.A slight frown appeared on Eriol's face but then it turned into a fake happiness. "Yes, maybe another time," said Eriol. "Good day, Mr. Kinomoto.""Good day to you too," said Fujitaka.Eriol walked out of the room and was escorted to his limo. 'I know Sakura is still here. Why was her father lying? Is it true what Tomoyo said?' he thought. He rubbed his chin, thinking. He got into the limo and it drove off..
.
Sakura zoned out, not knowing what to do. Her head jerked up when she heard voices downstairs. She got up quickly but then paused when her eyes blurred and her head got heavy."Ahh..." moaned Sakura, holding her head. She sat on her bed. "I got up too quickly," she mumbled to herself.She looked at the door and walked towards it. She tried the knob but found it locked. "Thought so," she said to herself and leaned against it to hear. She heard some faint noises but couldn't make out the voices and what they were saying.She sighed and gave up. She walked to the window and sat by the window, staring out at the land around her home. A big cherry blossom tree stood tall by her window. She reached out to touch the cherry blossom when her door burst open.She turned around sharply and faced her father who looked clearly pissed. "Hello father," she said coldly and turned back to face the tree. "What is it you want?"She felt the vibration on the ground from her father's stomps. "Sakura, what did you do to Eriol?" he asked, in a booming voice.Sakura frowned in confusion. She turned around with her expression still on her face. "What?" she asked, confused."He just told me that he wanted to break his hand in marriage with you. What did YOU do?" he asked, more loudly.Sakura stared at him. 'So he just told my father...' she thought. "I didn't do anything father. I like him as a friend and that's final," she put simply.Her father glared at her. "This was the closest man you've ever come onto and you just like him as a friend?!" he yelled, completely outraged.'You have no idea father...' she thought. She felt herself smiling from the kiss she got from Syaoran, remembering how it felt and how it made her feel. "I don't love him..." she said, softly. "You can't make me love anyone." Only Syaoran..."Oh yes I can!" yelled her father, smirking. "Already a young man has asked for your hand in marriage and you'll be married as soon as possible!"Sakura felt the blood drain from her face. 'He already set me up? No...' she thought.Her father grinned at her. "I'm sure you'll love him," he said in a tone that made her shudder.Sakura stared at him as he left the room, slammed the door, and locked it."How could father do this to me?" she asked herself, tears filling her eyes once more.
.
.
The next night, Sakura was forced to eat and change into something nice to meet the man who asked her father for her hand in marriage. She was surprised at what her father made her wear.She looked at her appearance in the mirror. A flutter sleeve dress with a soft, bias cut. It had a feminine drape with empire seaming and goes down an inch below her knees. The dress was tight at the chest and waist but then fell loose from the hips. The neckline went down in a 'V' which exposed her cleavage and her hair was in soft waves.What is up with her father? He yells at me because of what I wore and now he makes me wear this outfit which he despises?Sakura stood confused by her father's actions. She looked back at her reflection and sighed.There was a soft knock on the door and Sakura turned to see Yuki. "My lady, your father and a young man awaits for you in living room," said Yuki. She stared at Sakura.Sakura sighed once more and walked out of her room. She miserably walked down the endless stairs that was before her and finally came upon the room she dreaded to walk in. Finally, she walked in and glared at her father who smirked at her.Why was father doing this? What has gotten into him?Sakura questioned herself but shook her head when she couldn't find the answers to them. She looked to the man who sat on the other couch. He was handsome, she had to admit. He had short black hair with also black piercing eyes. He wore a black suit and she was sure he was immensely wealthy by the looks of him. She didn't like his eyes. They were dark, cold, and something about them made her feel uncomfortable when its gaze was upon her. They were the complete opposite of Syaoran's.She looked away from the man and stared at her father."Sakura, you look beautiful," said her father full of irony. 'If she wanted to wear clothes like she did before, I'm sure she wouldn't mind wearing this...' he thought.Sakura smiled weakly. "Thank you father," she said, coldly.Her father just laughed at her. "Let me introduce Mr. Kyle Enomoto. Enomoto, my daughter Sakura," said Fujitaka, making hand gestures.Sakura just frowned at Kyle while Kyle smirked at her."She's a beauty," said Kyle, silkily.Sakura didn't like his voice. He was like a serpent, cunning and dangerous. She didn't like him at all."Yes she is," agreed her father, gazing at his daughter.Kyle stood up and offered his arm to Sakura. "We shall be off, Mr. Kinomoto," said Kyle. "It was a pleasure to see you once more."Fujitaka nodded. His eyes turned cold on Sakura who just stood there glaring at Kyle's arm.Sakura saw her father glaring at her and she immediately yet hesitantly, put her hand on Kyle's arm."We'll be back at around 11," said Kyle, glancing at his expensive watch. He looked at her with desire and he smirked."Yes," said Fujitaka.Sakura shook her head in rage. Didn't her father see that Kyle was not who he thinks he is? She was about tell her father but was quickly pulled away.
.
They entered Kyle's limo. Sakura sat far away from Kyle so there would be a big amount of space between them. But Kyle scooted towards her, pressing his body against her.Sakura frowned and tried to push him away from failed. He was looking at her like the way Syaoran was at the hotel and she disliked it tremendously."L-leave me alone..." she said icily, glaring up at him."Sorry, I can't. I'm hypnotized from your beauty," he said seductively, putting his hand on her thigh.Sakura growled and slapped his hand away. "Don't you dare touch me or I'll hurt you," she said coldly, pushing him away with all her strength.Kyle just laughed at her. "Don't think I can do that." He reached out to touch her again but failed when he was knocked back from Sakura's punch. He was shocked by her reaction and so was Sakura. She had never punched a man before.The man before her was angry and Sakura was suddenly frightened. "You shouldn't have done that!" he growled, angrily.Sakura moved back, if that was possible since there was no more room behind her.. She felt the car come to a stop and Kyle was coming ever so close to her. She moved her hand to the door, fumbling her hand around to find the door opener and then succeeded. She pushed the door open and was about the run out when she felt hands around her waist."Get back here!" growled Kyle, pulling her back.Sakura gave a loud scream which caused a lot of a people to look their way.

Syaoran just walked out of Starbucks, holding a cup of coffee and looking at a paper. "Geeze, she like wrote a script," mumbled Syaoran, scanning the paper. He snorted after reading a line. "She even put things I should say when her father asks me questions..."He got out his keys from his pockets and was about to pressed the unlock button when he heard an ear-piercing scream. He looked up quickly looking around frantically. "It sounded like Sakura..." he said worriedly.He saw a black limo at a stoplight and saw Sakura being pulled into the limo. He growled angrily and shoved his drink to a stranger who looked at the drink confused and then shrugged, walking away drinking it. Syaoran ran after the limo as the light turned green."Sakura!!!!" yelled Syaoran, catching up with the limo.
.
Sakura froze when she heard Syaoran yell her name. She turned behind and saw him running in the back of the limo. Her hopes skyrocketed when she saw him and she smiled.Kyle grabbed Sakura and kissed her forcefully, making her gasp. Her hands sprang up wildly, attacking her enemy. But Kyle ignored them as if they're flies and ran his hand all around her body.Sakura somehow managed to bring her leg up and kick him in the stomach. Kyle grunted in response. (A/N: High-heeled shoes are dangerous!) Sakura glanced around and saw Syaoran reach to open the door.
"Drive faster!" commanded Kyle, pressing a button that allowed him to speak with the driver.
Sakura gasped when Syaoran failed to open the door when the car drove faster. She turned around and only saw Syaoran's form faintly.She felt Kyle's hands grab her once more and she screamed. "Let go of me!!!!!" yelled Sakura, whacking him repeatedly with her hand.But it didn't faze him and he covered her mouth with his hand. She bit it furiously, making Kyle howl with pain."Bitch!" growled Kyle, fire blazing in his eyes.He pounced on Sakura, and pinned her against the side of the limo with his body and one of his hands. His other hand ran up Sakura leg, making Sakura struggle even harder from Kyle's groping.His hand slid under her dress and Sakura screamed and fought against him. Then she felt something fall on the limo. She looked at the back window and saw Syaoran with an axe. He slammed the axe against the window, making it crack. Syaoran did it once more, successfully breaking the window. The window shards fell upon Kyle. He growled and closed his eyes. He didn't see the hand that reached down and pulled Kyle by the neck out of the limo.Sakura gasped when she saw Syaoran and Kyle fall off the limo and rolling down the road. She looked for the button and said quickly, "Stop the car!" The driver obeyed her and she ran out of the limo to Syaoran and Kyle fighting.Syaoran was on top of Kyle, pounding the hell out of Kyle whose face was bloody. Finally, he got up and kicked the unconscious form of Kyle. He turned around and saw Sakura whose expression was frightened, shocked, happy, sad, and angry."Sakura, are you okay?" he asked, running over to her.She didn't say anything but hugged him tightly. Moments later, she looked up at him and smiled. "I never thought I would see you again," she said softly.A smiled was returned to her. "Nothing would stop me from seeing you and being with you," he said and kissed her softly.Sakura broke the kiss and looked at him worriedly. "You're going to be busted you know," said Sakura."I know," said Syaoran, softly. He looked back at the bloody body and back at Sakura. "I better take you home."Sakura shook her head. "No! I don't want to go home! I want to stay with you!" said Sakura, hugging him.Syaoran smiled. "Fine. Let's get away from here," he said, took her hand and they both walked away..
Syaoran walked over and opened the door for Sakura, and held out his hand. Sakura placed her hand in his and got out of the car."Why are we at Tomoyo's house?" inquired Sakura, noticing her friend's house."Why? Tomoyo has been going hysteric when she didn't see you at school," said Syaoran with amusement."Really?" asked Sakura smiling at Syaoran. "Were you?"Syaoran chuckled. "Yeah. I actually came to school and early just for you until I realized you weren't allowed to come," he said, shaking his head.Sakura giggled. "That's kind of funny when a rebel is actually turning into a good guy," she said."I'm not a good guy, ya know," said Syaoran, knocking on Tomoyo's door."Well, you sure have been acting like a good guy towards me," said Sakura."Yeah, just for you," said Syaoran with a smirk."Sakura!" exclaimed Tomoyo and she ran towards her friend and hugged her tight."Tomoyo... need... air.." gasped Sakura, turning red from Tomoyo's bear hug."Oh sorry," said Tomoyo, letting go of Sakura. "Ooh I like your dress.""Oh thanks," said Sakura."Come in you guys," said Tomoyo, waving her 'come in hand.'"Oh no, I was just going to take Sakura out for dinner after we visit you," said Syaoran."Oh, oh!" exclaimed Tomoyo, grinning. "So you two can be aloooonnnee."Syaoran and Sakura turned red."Hey Tomoyo, who's at the door?" asked Eriol, walking towards them."Ooooh! So you were with him? ALOOOONNNNEEE?!" mocked Sakura, laughing.Eriol looked at them confused. "Heh?""Oh nothing," said Tomoyo blushing. "Why don't you two go on and get your dinner.""Ahh... Why didn't you tell us that you wanted to be with Eriol alone? But wait! I wonder how long he has been here..." said Syaoran with a smirk."Syaoran!" growled Tomoyo, glaring at him."All right, all right. We'll go," said Syaoran raising his hands in surrender and backing away."Bye!" said Sakura to Tomoyo as she to Sakura.
.
Syaoran and Sakura went to a restaurant and then Syaoran had to take Sakura home."I don't want to go home..." mumbled Sakura with a pout."Yes I know. But if you don't and your father calls the police, then everything will be chaos," said Syaoran, walking up to Sakura's house. "Hurry up."Sakura sighed and walked to where Syaoran was. "Will I ever see you again?" asked Sakura, looking sad at Syaoran.Syaoran opened his mouth but closed them once the door to Sakura's home burst open."WHO ARE YOU?!?!" yelled a furious man glaring at Syaoran.

Haha... Yes I do like cliff hangers because then I don't know where to stop. I'll try update sooner... Hmm... Don't you notice Syaoran playing a little hero? Always saving Sakura.
