-Chapter 8: Explanations

"Oh puh-leeze… he's a… he's a…"

"What am I?" Came an oh so familiar voice.

Sakura and everybody turned around to come face to face with a black haired, black eyed man.

"DADYY!" Mimi shrieked as she went to hug her father.

Syaoran looked at this man and frowned.

"Hello Sakura." The man smiled. Sakura had tears in her eyes and she walked forward.

She stood a few feet away from him before whispering his name.

"Kai?"

Kai smirked as he scooped his daughter up into his arms. "He sweetheart, how you doing?" he grinned.

"Okie dokie!" Mimi giggled back as she placed a wet kiss on her fathers' cheek. Kai returned the action with one of his own.

Sakura stepped a few steps back into Chang's arms, who wrapped his arm around Sakura's shoulder and greeted Kai, his baby cousin.

"Hey Kai, dude what's up?" Chang said embracing the man. Sakura couldn't take it, she rushed back towards Susan and Syaoran and sat in between them, taking bits of Susan's dinner in the process, but still watching Kai.

"Nothing. Came to see my baby girl. Hey Saks, where's her mom?" Kai ask, eyeing Syaoran.

Kai knew that both he and Mimi's mother decided not for anybody to know who Mimi's mother was, except family. And Syaoran didn't look like family.

"She's off. And don't call me Saks." Sakura gruffed before eating more carrot sticks.

"Why not? It's the name you used to let me call you."

"Before Saru pinned you."

"She seduced me."

"She was a damn freak! How can she seduce you?" Sakura hollered back. Syaoran was stunned.

'Saruka was a freak? But… what about Sakura?' he thought as he continued to watch the argument.

"What ever, what's Li Syaoran doing in Chang's hole?" Kai asked as he fed Mimi a carrot stick.

"Sakura's new man." Susan replied happily as she drank strawberry milkshake.

"Really? Has Saru eyed him yet?" he asked as he put a celery stick in his mouth.

"Pretty much." Sakura shrugged before plopping an apple slice in her mouth.

"Jesus, don't she ever give up?" Chang asked.

"Apparently not." Kai muttered. Suddenly, Mimi's eyes drooped as her head lowered onto Kai's shoulder.

"Hey sweetheart, you're tried. I'll tuck you in." Kai said sweetly.

"Okie Daddy." Mimi mumbled before dozing off.

Kai stood up and left to put Mimi in bed. Sakura and Susan popped some popcorn. Tears stung Sakura's eyes at seeing Kai again. She hadn't seen Kai Ota for 2 years now, after that happened. Sakura shook her head and she poured butter on the popcorn and took it to the living room. She saw Chang, Kai, Syaoran and Susan sitting on pillows around a table. Sakura put the bowl on the table and sat beside Syaoran, who was sitting right beside Kai and Chang. Sakura chose the side with Chang.

"Care to explain?" Syaoran finally asked after a moment of utter silence.

"Kai, is Chang's younger cousin… about 2 or 3 years." Sakura said as she filled her mouth with popcorn.

"Not that… but wait didn't you tell me you dated Chang?" Syaoran asked.

Sakura nodded. "Yea I did."

"But I thought you also dated Kai."

Sakura, Kai, Chang and Susan all stared at Syaoran with horror.

"How… how did you know? Nobody was supposed to know about our relationship." Sakura whispered.

"In Japan you whispered his name." Syaoran said simply.

Sakura growled as she threw her handful of popcorn back into the bowl and stomped off to the couch. She sat there, tears streaming down her cheeks as she started sniffling.

"Why the tears?" Syaoran said worriedly as he rushed to sit beside her.

"Nothing." She cried as she pushed his arm off her shoulder.

"Tell me." Syaoran said sternly.

"You are not my father, brother or boyfriend so you cannot tell me what to do." Sakura hissed as she moved to sit beside Susan.

Everybody stared at her in utter dismay. "Not your… boyfriend?" Chang asked mystified.

Sakura shrugged. "This was a set up for Syaoran to seduce Saru. He wants her for Spring Fling."

Kai snorted. "Really, you chose the right thing to do, date her sister."

Syaoran stared at Kai. "What do you mean?" he asked.

"Saru goes after taken boys. Two very huge experts here." Chang said pointing at himself and then to Kai.

"We've dated Sakura and Saru tried to come unto us." Chang explained.

"How do you think there was a Mimi?" Kai asked him. Syaoran stared at him in sheer horror. "Saru is Mimi's mother." Kai told him.

Sakura sniffled as Susan tried to sooth her. "Two years ago…" Sakura whispered before breaking down in front of the crew.

"She hasn't cried about it since…" Chang said as he went to comfort Sakura. Kai sat there, staring apologetically at Sakura.

"What happened?" Syaoran asked as Susan looked at him sadly.

"Only Sakura and Kai can tell you that. Chang and I were dating and moved to Beijing when the incident two years ago happened here and carried off to Japan."

Sakura stared at Syaoran and sniffed. "I guess you have the right to know, since you want to be Saru's man."

Sakura got up and walked over to Kai, she stared down at him and then finally spoke. "Do you still have the tapes Tomoyo gave you?"

Kai nodded wondering what she was getting to.

"Kai, I want you to go get the tapes from your pent while I explain this whole deal to Syaoran."

"Uh… Sure. If Mimi wakes up tell her I went buy apples." Kai said before rushing out.

Sakura turned back to Syaoran and sighed. She sat down beside Susan and started.

"It all happened two years ago. Saru, Touya –our older brother, Riku –our baby brother who was 3- and I lived here in Hong Kong."

Syaoran gave her a puzzled look. "If Riku was younger than you than how come…"

"I'm Card Mistress?" Sakura finished. Chang and Susan laughed. "We know about her Magic." They said as Syaoran nodded.

"It stated in Clow's History that his Card Descendant would be the Youngest born girl from his Neutral half. Therefore I. Riku had the wicked powers in the world though. He had Telepathy, Telekinesis and Teleportation."

Syaoran chuckled at that little statement.

"Anyways, Saru, Touya, Riku and I were in Hong Kong, we lived here. My father was on a dig in Vietnam and my mother still modeled back then. Um… yea Saru and I were 14, Touya was 19 and Riku was 3. So where was I? Oh yea, me and Saru were going out shopping with Tomoyo, who also lived here."

Syaoran gawked at her, 'How does she remember what she was gonna do with whoever she was doing it with?' the thought amazed.

"We went to the shopping mall and me and Saru noticed a cute Twins Necklace set. We wanted to buy it, and Valentines Day was coming near. Back then, Kai and I dated each other, a year after Chang and me broke up. So, after our little shopping session, I told Kai that I wanted the necklace. He promised me he'd buy it for me.

"A week passed and it was Valentines Day and Kai told me he was broke, so he couldn't buy the necklace for me. It's all good, is what I told him. I knew he had loved me and I didn't need a necklace to prove that. But then I got seriously suspicious when I found that necklace around Saru's neck, both parts of the Necklace. I asked her where she got it from and she replied, 'My boyfriend'."

Syaoran was seriously interested in this story now. 'I wonder…' now he was making mental guesses as to what was gonna happen.

"I asked Saru, 'You got a man?' and she just told me yes, no name, no description no nothing. Ok, so I let it pass, but then two weeks later, I found a hickey on Saru's neck when she was changing into her pajamas. Ok, so where did she get that? I asked her and she just said 'My boyfriend.' That answer seriously started pissed me off so I confronted her, Saru, who's your man? And she started crying asking me to forgive her, to not hate her. Now is where I really got freaked."

"And that's where I come in." Kai's voice came from the door. He was holding two tapes in his hand with an umbrella over his head. It was raining.

"You?" Syaoran asked confused. Kai nodded as he handed the tapes to Sakura.

"Yea me. You see right before Valentines day, a day before Sakura, Saru and Tomoyo went shopping, Saru and I had slept together. Why? I wanted a good fuck. Sakura was a white angel. Never been kissed by anybody. Not by Chang, not by me and I was the Shock Jock back in middle school, a total playboy. I wanted somebody to warm my bed so who better than the look-a-like Saru? We got together, since Saru was desperate to get a man. She was a freak back then so she couldn't get one. That's why she went after taken boys, especially family who got boyfriends, since it was usually the boyfriends of family members that accepted her."

"So I slept with her, did her good and then a few weeks after, we found out she was pregnant. We didn't tell her parents, our parents, nobody. It was our secret. That is until Sakura confronted her about the hickey. Because after Valentines Day, we slept together even more, and frequently too."

Sakura cut him this time. "So Saru tells me she's pregnant with Kai's baby. I was pissed. No, beyond pissed that MY sister and MY boyfriend were cheating on me together behind my back. So I took Saru to the doctors, leaving Riku with Touya, taking Tomoyo and our bikes to the walk-in-clinic. We got a pregnancy test done and it was positive."

Kai cut Sakura off now.

"Sakura was easy to forgive Saru. Always having a good heart and everything, but boy was she pissed at me. She didn't talk to me, silent treatment and everything. Eventually by 2nd month the Kinomoto family found out and decided to move to Japan, and leave all this behind. They wanted to abort the child, but Sakura and Saru fought to keep it. It was a living thing in their eyes, no matter how much of a mistake it was. But just before they boarded the plane…"

Sakura started here. "Just before we did, Kai was at the airport. I did end up forgiving him on the spot but I broke up with him then and there. After Mimi was born, Saru wanted Mimi to know her real parents to she and Kai lived together in Japan in Kai's house where his single mother lived. After that year, when Mimi turned 1, Riku died because of his brain tumor. Saru couldn't take all the pressure so she decided it would be best to hand Mimi over to somebody who can take care of her. The first person that came into our head? Ever trustworthy Chang Lei, Kai's older cousin and my ex-boyfriend."

The story ended and Syaoran sat there dumbstruck.

"What proof? We got tapes proving Saru being a nerd and hated by all. I was back then the popular one. The only reason people hated Saru was that she was desperate and wanted to become popular fast and easy. I was popular because I loved everybody, kind and pure I suppose. Then after that incident two years ago, I changed… I didn't want another heart break. I fell down the population ladder, after giving up my popularish demands and Saru followed in my previous footsteps and became popular!" Sakura muttered as she popped in the video.

They all sat back and watched the video. There they saw twin 14 year olds. One in a cute baby pink belly top and baggy black jeans and another in her school uniform with a band-aid on her left knee.

"Guess which one's which." Sakura said insanely.

"Uh… Sakura's the one in her uniform?" Syaoran asked stupidly.

"NEEH!" Kai screeched like a buzzer.

"That's Saru." Susan said amused.

"Seriously? NO!" Syaoran murmured as he continued to watch. Finally a 14-year-old Tomoyo popped up, as Saru took the video. Sakura and Tomoyo rushed into a hair parlor and half an hour later, they came out with curls.

Sakura laughed. "I remember that day. Chang, Kai and I were going out to the mall!"

Kai and Chang chuckled remembering that day as well.

Scenes upon scenes flashed on the screen. One from Sakura pounding a bully that was bullying Saru to scenes Saru crying in Sakura's arms.

Finally, the last scene before Tomoyo moved to Japan.

"Hey Saru, where'd you get the necklace?" Sakura asked.

"My boyfriend." Came her shy answer.

"NANI? BOYFRIEND?" Sakura screamed happily. "WHO IS HE?"

"I'll show you who he is… one day Sakura."

"HEY SAKURA! I'M RUNNING OUT OF FILM! DO SOMETHING KAWAII!" Tomoyo yelled.

Sakura wrapped her hair into a bun, put her hands on her hips, popped her lip-gloss tube her in mouth and started acting like a hooker.

"Wanna come and come and have some fun t'nite hun?" Sakura said pretending to chew her bubble-gum and then POP it.

"I SAID KAWAII NOT HORNY!"

"Everything's kawaii to you Moyo." Saru replied sarcastically. And the three girls burst into laughters.

The video went blank signaling that the video ended.

Everybody was quiet, for a long, long time… Suddenly Mimi toddled out of the room grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Hey darling, what's up?" Sakura asked scooping Mimi into her arms.

"Okie dokie!" Mimi giggled as Sakura twirled her around.

Suddenly Sakura's cell rung.

"Moshi Moshi?"

"SAKURA!" Saru yelled.

"Hey Saru, what's up?" Sakura asked excitedly.

"Nothing, guess what!"

"What?"

"I GOT A BOYFRIEND!" Saru said it so loud that everybody heard.

"Gee congrats, what's his name?"

"Greg."

"You found your self a Greg? Ok never mind that, Mimi's here with me."

"WAI! Let me talk to my daughter!" Saru said happily.

"Mimi, darling it's your mother." Sakura said as Mimi started babbling into the phone.

"MOMMY! How you?"

"I'm fine darling and you?" Saru asked.

"Okie Dokie. Daddy got me bear."

"Really?"

"Yea, me name Snowball."

"Aww! Darling is your father there?"

"Hai you wanna talk?"

"It's ok. Give it back to Auntie now darling."

Mimi handed the phone to Sakura before running off to Kai.

"Hey so what's new?"

"Nothing, just calling to check in. I have to go now, It's REALLY early here! Ja Kura!"

"Ja Saru." And Sakura hung up.

Finally it was come time to go. Sakura and Syaoran stood at the door. Sakura hugged Chang, Susan and Mimi before bowing towards Kai.

"See ya!" Sakura said rushing towards the Limo as it was raining.

"BYE!" Syaoran yelled as he ran after Sakura.

Finally in the car Syaoran looked into Sakura's eyes. "So… you're sister is the whore not you?"

Sakura shrugged. "She's done 5 other people in the last few years. She just made sure her timing was correct. So you still want her?"

Syaoran smirked. "Yes."

Sakura's eyes balled out. "WHAT? AFTER YOU KNOW SHE HAS A DAUGHTER!"

"I just want her for Spring Fling that's it. I'm dumping her after that."

"And you're making me go through all this for nothing."

"Ah, but there is something good in all this." Syaoran said smirking.

"And what's that Prince Li?" Sakura asked mockingly.

"I get to tell the world it was I who stole the virgin lips of Kinomoto Sakura."

And before Sakura knew it, Syaoran's lips pressed firmly on hers. He did a few butterfly kisses before pulling back smirking.

Sakura sat there stunned before turning to glare at Syaoran.

"You fucking player!" She hissed as she slapped him, causing his head to snap sideways.

Right then the Limo pulled up to the driveway and Sakura ran out, not giving what Syaoran was gonna do now.

'What came over me?' Syaoran mentally slapped himself.

'It's like this urge… I needed to kiss her.' He groaned as he followed Sakura up to her bedroom.

He ran up to her bedroom and opened the door just in time to see Sakura, with a knife in her hands, attempting to commit suicide.


Oh… suicide? What now? You now know what happened two years ago, who Mimi's mother is… and now Syaoran is a stupid bastard he stole Sakura's Virgin Lips!

What's gonna happen now? Why is Sakura committing suicide? All will be revealed in the next chapter!

Lub ya'll,

Sakura
