Chapter 3 – Meeting a new life
Goosebumps were forming over my arms and legs. It's so cold. I'm so cold. My toes are so numb. I can't even tell if they're still attached. Where am I? Where is this place? All I see is darkness, and I'm falling deeper into it. Deeper and deeper, but I feel safe in the dark, unlike the light where there rests a harsh reality. But alas, I feel the light emerging from the bottom of the pit of which I am falling into, like the cold harsh winter it engulfs me, wrapping me in reality.
Sakura woke up to curious amethyst eyes that were staring intently at her face. Startled, she scooted back to the armrest, which allowed her to sit up. She looked at the girl, who was the owner of the eyes, with scared eyes, not knowing where she was and who was this mysterious girl. "Are you okay?" She reached her hand towards Sakura, but Sakura just pressed herself further into the armrest trying to avoid her touch. "Don't be afraid, I mean no harm…" she tried again and managed to place a comfort hand on Sakura's. "Here, my name is Tomoyo Dadouji; you're currently at my house. I found you at the park, what happened?" The park… "It's okay if you don't remember." But Sakura's eyes were distant. She remembers: her stepmother, the park, the robbers and her necklace, the only thing that her dead mother had left her. She reached a hand up to her neck for the necklace, but to no avail. It was lost. No, it was stolen. Tears started to leak out of the corners of her eyes, but she did not sob, nor did she whimper. "Don't cry it's okay now. You could stay here for the night if you'd like.
For the first time they where in the house she spoke. "Thank you." Tomoyo gave her a look of pity and led her a guestroom and she stayed there for the night.
The next morning, Sakura woke up from a dreamless sleep. She felt lost and alone, lost without the necklace. She couldn't go back home now without another beating. But she had school today and she couldn't miss that either, well, maybe she could since she has a place to stay today. Her injuries still hurts, but it felt much more better now. She slowly slipped off the bed as a knock came through the door. "Come in." the girl from last night, Tomoyo, came in holding a pile of clothes. She walked in and placed the clothes on top of the unmade sheets.
"Hey, I thought you would like a change of clothes today. By the way, my name's Tomoyo Dadouji. What's yours?"
"I'm Sakura Kinomoto. Thank you so much for last night. I don't know what I would do if it weren't for you." She said with a slight bow.
"Enough with introductions. Go change so we could go to the mall today. I don't think you should go to school today. So go change." Tomoyo said all the while pushing Sakura into the bathroom, shoving the clothes in her arms and shutting the door close.
A few moments later, Sakura emerged from the bathroom with navy blue converse that adorned her feet, dark blue jeans and a black hooded sweatshirt with the words "Licensed Troublemaker" written across the front of it. "Good, your ready, I'm driving." Tomoyo said with a slight smile, causing Sakura to smile a smile that came from her heart.
"'Kay, Let's go!" Sakura said energetically for the first time in years. She liked this girl Tomoyo and has already considered her as her friend.
After a lot of shopping, they finally settled into taking a rest in the food court. During the 3 hours of shopping, both girls had bonded miraculously. From mere strangers, they had turned into friends, maybe even best friends.
"We're going to a club tonight." Both were sipping lemonade out of their glasses.
"A club? I've never been to one before, are you sure?" Sakura was confused. Of all places, why there?
"Oh well, I'm going to introduce you to a few friends of mine, Sakura, and I'm sure you'll love them." Tomoyo said, a small smile touching her face. "We have to hurry and get ready!" she said, all the while dragging Sakura out to the parking lot where her dark blue Ford was parked.
"But Tomoyo, it's only 6:00! We have two hours left!" Sakura whined, not wanting to go back yet.
"There's never enough time, so let's hurry." Tomoyo was stern yet excited at the same time. What a weird mix.
Putting all their bags of clothes into the trunk, they drove back home, barely keeping inside the speed limit.
6:30, Tomoyo and Sakura arrived home and are currently picking out their outfits, or rather Tomoyo was picking them out while Sakura amusedly watched her pressured figure moving around and throwing everything that she thought would look good with her black leather pants to the bed. "Here it is! Sakura, this is the perfect outfit for you tonight, I can't wait!" Squealing, Tomoyo showed her the black leather pants with a tube top that was purple with pink swirls in it. "Now go change into this, I want to see how it looks on you." She was so excited that she did not notice Sakura's protest about wearing a tube top that will barely cover her stomach. Unfortunately for her, Tomoyo was too persistent. Reluctantly she changed into them in the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, she saw that the shirt ended just below her navel, the leather pants hugged her hips and thighs but flared out bellow the knees. Sighing, she left the bathroom only to find that Tomoyo had already changed. She was wearing a white halter-top with a leather mini skirt. Guess hers wasn't that revealing.
"Here, wear these" Tomoyo turned her back towards Sakura to get the ankle boots that would complete the outfit. However, Sakura noticed something on Tomoyo's back. Focussing her eyes on it, she saw a tattoo of a wolf with sneering silver eyes that were glaring back at her.
"What's that on your back?" Startled by her question, Tomoyo turned around facing Sakura.
"Umm… about that, it's, uh how do I put this…" Tomoyo couldn't find a way to tell her how she got it. It's complicated to tell her without her finding out.
"It's okay if you don't want to tell me, I'm okay with it." Tomoyo's face visually relaxed. "Hey, can I do your hair?" both of them smiled and forgot about the incident earlier.
A sleek red car came to an abrupt stop in front of a flashing club music was pounding at the walls a girl with smooth long jet black hair placed in a high ponytail walked out from the driver's seat, her eyes looking at the guy by the Suzuki Ninja that was looking at her with cold amber eyes. Without a word, both walked into the bar passing the protesting crowd that have been waiting for half an hour now, but the bouncer let both of them in, cowering in fear as glassy amber eyes bore into him.
Both male and female walked straight upstairs and into a room that was above the dance floor. All of its walls that looked out were made of glass, giving them a clear view of the whole bar. Inside the room, a male with blue-black hair was sitting on the couch, waiting for their leader to enter.
"Hey Li, Meiling." He said, a smile lingering on his lips.
"Hi Eriol, apparently Syaoran here haven't told me why where here tonight. Care to fill me in." Meiling said, all the while glaring at the guy next to him.
"A spy told us that the Ravens are going to crash our club tonight."
Tomoyo's dark blue Infinity came to a stop in front of the club. Bright letters spelling Alpha was on top of the entrance of the nightclub. Music was desperately trying to escape the walls that were bounding them. "Come on in, I know the bouncer so he'll let us in." Sakura followed Tomoyo as she walked up to the bouncer. "Hey Tak."
"Hey Tomoyo, who's the girl behind you? She's hot." He said winking at Sakura. Sakura couldn't help but blush, making Takashi chuckle.
"Oh, is that Chiharu in there looking at you?" That instantly shut Takashi up, his face blushing with embarrassment.
"Just go in." his face was still a flaming red.
"Find us when your shift is over." Both Tomoyo and Sakura walked in, ignoring the protests of the line up that was saying "again? How many are you gonna let in. I've been waiting for almost an hour now and I'm still not getting in."
Music instantly blasted their ears as they walked deeper into the club. Tomoyo led Sakura to a booth where there was a few girls sitting there drinking and laughing. "Hey guys, what 'sup."
"Hey Tomoyo, care to introduce us to the girl beside you?" Said the smiling girl with long red tresses and dark brown eyes. "Hi, I'm Chiharu, nice to meet you." She said, all the while smiling. "This is Rika," a girl with shoulder length wavy brown hair gave her a small hi. "And Naoko" the girl next to her with straight black hair smiled at her and gave her a small wave.
"Hi, my names Sakura, nice to meet you all." She said and gave them all a slight bow. As she bowed, she noticed that all of them had the same tattoo as Tomoyo on their upper left arms, all three gleaming at her, however, she chose to ignore them and proceeded to sit beside Tomoyo.
After a brief drink, Tomoyo decided to pull Sakura out to the dance floor. At first, Sakura was hesitant to the idea, but as Tomoyo was swaying to the beat, she loosened up dancing with her. She closed her eyes and let her body lose itself to the beat. That is until she heard Tomoyo's gasp. A guy with dark blue hair with a dark blue shirt and loose black pants slither his hands around Tomoyo's waist. Tomoyo turned around and hugged the guy, giving a distinct squeal of the name Eriol. Both started dancing together, so Sakura decided to walk back to their booth.
When she was half way there, she heard a gun fire. People stopped dancing, their screams louder than the music itself. They started to run out of the bar pushing each other not caring if that person fell or not. Sakura that was walking in the other direction was pushed down to the floor. The doors were barred and gang with their guns pointed at the crowd yelled into the microphone "Shut up and stay still and no one will get hurt." That instantly made the crowd quiet and each one of them crouched down except for a few. Sakura was still on the floor next to the stage. One of the guys on the stage grabbed her by the shoulder that was bruised either from the trampling or last night from Margaret. She yelped as they pulled her to them and pointed a gun to her head. Tomoyo gasped as she saw that it was Sakura that they had caught. "Tell your leader to come out, or else she gets it." Sakura did not hear him. Her stomach's wound had reopened a while ago and was bleeding through her shirt. She was also trampled on and the pain was getting to her. She was hurting physically and her mind was confused and tired of trying to stay awake. Her eyes were becoming blurry due to the pain. She heard someone speaking and looked up to the speaker. She distinctively saw a man with amber eyes that were looking back to her own emeralds before she passed out.
The man that was holding Sakura removed his gun from her head and pointed it to Syaoran who was standing in the back of the room. " Your gonna pay for killing Matt." He aimed the gun and fired blindly at him. People in the crowd screamed in fear, holding their head tight between their arms.
When the screaming had ceased and the dust had cleared out, Syaoran was nowhere to be seen. He averted his eyes around the room but still couldn't find him. "I'm right behind you, you bastard" before he had the time to react, Syaoran had already knocked him out cold with the butt of his gun. He landed a roundhouse kick to the remaining gang members, causing a few of them to fall on the floor. He then landed punches to those that were still up and grounded his heels on those that had fallen. When they were all out cold, he turned to the girl that was geld hostage and saw Tomoyo by her side, desperately trying to wake her up. "Bring her to the mansion." With that said, he left the club and headed for his bike.
To make up for the lateness of this chapter, I made it extra long. Hope you liked it. oopsy
