Part 14

Sakura didn't know what to do to help her father except to help him relieve of his pain. She ran up stairs to the bathroom to get some medicine. When she came back, her father wasn't in the basement!
"Dad!? Where are you!?" Sakura called while running up the stairs.
Mr. Kinimoto was in his bedroom talking to Fongling. Sakura quickly tiptoed behind the bedroom door. She put her ear to the door.
"Fongling.(cough) what's wrong with you? You're not acting like yourself" Mr. Kinimoto soothed.
"Who are you talking about you bastard? You are the one not acting like yourself. Why can't you take a look at yourself? You're sick! You might even have SARS" Fongling snorted.
After those two sentences, Sakura couldn't really hear much. All she heard after that was "Sakura is", "medicine", "sick", and "ball". Then when Sakura heard her father heading for the door, she dove into the bathroom and locked the door.
Sakura's heart was beating wildly. Then she quickly flushed the toilet and turned on the tap to let it run. After a couple of seconds, she turned the tap off and walked out of the bathroom.
Mr. Kinimoto was nowhere in sight. Sakura found her father in the basement asleep in his sleeping bag.
Sakura woke up quite early in the morning the next day.
Why didn't Fongling wake me up? It's so late alreadyThat's strange. Where is everybody? Sakura thought to herself. Then Sakura opened the bottle of medicine and poured some of the remaining drops into the sink.
Ssssssssssssssssssssssss.
Sakura looked down at the green liquid in the sink and gasped. The 'medicine' was sizzling all by itself in the sink.
"What the hell IS that?" Sakura whispered to herself. Then she poured the remnants of the liquid down into the garbage can where there were pieces of dried paper.
Sssssssssssssssssssssss.
The paper started to burn up as the liquid touched its surface. Sakura almost fainted. The 'medicine' Fongling so kindly given her father was POISON!
Sakura was frantic. She ran around the house. For what? She didn't know. Sakura finally ran into Fonglings room. She searched for an antidote or even the poison itself but she couldn't find anything except for a small folded card in an envelope that read:
To Everybody in the Kinimoto household: Our kind and handsome Prince Syaoran has reached the age for marriage and has invited everybody in the kingdom to attend a ball on the third of the sixth month. Please come if possible.
Sincerely, Empress Yulan
"There is a ball next month? I bet Fongling and her daughters are attending, but what about me?" Sakura muttered to herself.
Suddenly, she heard a car door slam outside.
"Oh no! Fongling's back!" Sakura whispered. Then she quickly closed the bedroom door.
It was only then that Sakura noticed that she was still holding the poison vile. She ran into the kitchen and covered the mess in the garbage can and scampered into the basement and put the vile back on the small table beside her father. Sakura quickly ran into her room just in time to hear Fongling enter the house. There was a lot of banging, which meant that Fongling had just been to the grocery's and had bought a bunch of things.
Sakura didn't know what to do. She was worried about her father. What could she do?
"Tomoyo, I don't know what to do! I'm all messed up!" Sakura whimpered while pounding on her best friends pillows.
"Well, there is still Neishko, right?" Tomoyo gave a little smile.
The next morning, Sakura ran downstairs and found Fongling and her daughters gone shopping. Then she ran down the sturdy steps to the library in the basement. Sakura saw her father opening the green vile and getting ready to drink the 'medicine'.
"Dad! Don't drink it!" Sakura screamed while running quickly down the rest of the stairs.
Mr. Kinimoto was too drowsy to even hear his daughter so he started drinking.
"Dad! No!" Sakura dove towards her father and grabbed the green vile out of her fathers hands while landing on the floor. "Ooff!"
"Sakura" Mr. Kinimoto croaked.
"Dad! Don't drink this stuff anymore! Do you know what this is?! Poison! It's poison!!" Sakura screeched. She was also crying. Then Sakura took a book from the shelf and poured the poison into it. The pages of the book sizzled and burned as the acid burned through the pages. Then Sakura shut the book and placed it on the top shelf of the bookcase while placing the empty vile back on the small table.
"Tell her you've drank the medicine" Sakura commanded to her father. "Tell her you have drank it all"
Then without waiting for her father's answer, Sakura left the room.
I'm so sorry for the long long wait, but I was really busy this month. Ugg! Exams and tests, BUT, summer vacation is HERE! Yay! More time writing though. I tried to make this chapter longer but I don't know. The letter to the ball was very crappy, but THAT'S OKAY! Lol. (As long as you all understand it right right??) Okay. Never mind. Please read and review!!
