Chapter Six
Syaoran
He read the article that Takashi had given him right in the morning. He growled furiously and threw it away, "Who fucking knew it was me!" he yelled out angrily, "Who told them?" he demanded his friends. Takashi shook his head, "Man, it wasn't one of us. We're your best friends, we wouldn't do that. Right Ryu?"
Ryu didn't answer; instead he just shifted uncomfortably under their gazes. Syaoran shot him a death glare, "It was you wasn't it! You only wanted her for yourself so you ruined our relationship!" Ryu looked into Syaoran's eyes and a smirk appeared on his face, "It wasn't just me who wanted to ruin you two Syao. But I wasn't the one who got the reporter. You know as well as I do if your mother found out about this we would have to go back. Now why would I want to ruin myself and have to leave?"
Syaoran sat there thinking, "Than who was it." The three friends sat there for awhile thinking when the phone was heard. Syaoran quickly lunged for it, "Hello?" a gentle voice asked. Syaoran sighed, "Tak, it's for you." Takashi nodded and took the phone out of his hands. After a few minutes he hung up and looked at his friends gravely.
"Chi tells me that Sakura read the article. Also from what Mei Lin says, Sakura had a breakdown, and well hates you now Syao. She thinks you just used her and is in her room moping around," Takashi told his friend sadly. Syaoran growled and slammed his fist on the glass table, "Fuck, I need to see her tonight." Takashi nodded his head, "You only have three more days Syao, maybe even less if your mother already heard of this." Syaoran moaned, "Fuck can this get any worst?"
Ryu looked at his friend sadly, he didn't want to see his friend sad over anything, "I know who did it." The two friends looked at him. "What?" Syaoran asked wanting to know if he heard had right. "I know who told the reporters, I know who wants Sakura gone." Syaoran looked at him, "We're going to have a talk with that person tonight then," he said determinedly. Ryu nodded, silently hoping it wasn't too late.
Chiharu
"Tak just told me he's coming tonight, with Syaoran," she said sadly, "They're going to try to convince Sakura that it wasn't his fault." "Why are you helping him?" Mei Lin cried out furiously. Miaka and Chiharu looked at her, "What do you mean?" Miaka's gentle voice asked. Mei Lin looked at her two friends, "He lied to her about his identity, about his whole life. Fuck he's a player! Why do you guys want them together?"
Chiharu looked at her friend, "He isn't really like that…" she started but Mei Lin interrupted, "Yes he is! I heard from his best friend Ryu! Fuck Takashi is probably lying to you to Chi." Chiharu looked at her and started crying. "How could you say such a thing?" Miaka bit out, Mei Lin was startled Miaka never raised her voice before. Mei Lin looked at her two friends with disgust, "I don't care what you to believe, I'm not going to let him hurt Sakura if it's the last thing I do," with that said she quickly walked out.
"Do you think something's going on?" Chiharu asked Miaka softly so only she could hear. Miaka nodded, "I don't like how things are going." Chiharu looked out towards the doorway, "Syaoran isn't really a play boy you know," she told her friend sadly. "But all the articles?" Miaka questioned having to have heard a lot about how the prince of china was a playboy. Chiharu shook her head, "They were all lies so he wouldn't end up being in an arranged marriage," she told her friend sadly.
Miaka nodded, "Than we have to tell Sakura," she got up to leave but Chiharu stopped her. "Takashi told me not to do anything rash; he says that Syaoran is going to have to do this himself. And you know as well as I do that Sakura won't believe us. She'll think that we're sticking up for him. We have to let him prove to her that what the newspaper says is all lies." Miaka nodded and sat down sadly, "Why do I get the feeling this is all going to turn out horrible." Chiharu looked at her friend and embraced her tightly, "Don't think like that, it'll turn out okay."
Sakura
She continued sitting in the corner just rocking back and fourth. She sighed; she would have to move on sooner or later. She walked out of her room and towards the garden. Sakura walked towards the cherry blossom tree and watched as the petals fell down. She caught one in her hand and watched as it slowly blew away again. It was just like her happiness one minute it was there and the next it gets taken from her.
She heard some yelling from inside and rushed to see what the commotion was all about. "What's going on?" she demanded. She saw that Syaoran was standing by the door along with his two friends. Eriol was at the door frowning at them. Tomoyo and Kaori had their arms crossed smiling evilly. Chiharu was there hugging Miaka both crying on each other.
Tomoyo was the one to answer her, "Syaoran here wanted to see you, but Eriol wouldn't since of what he did." Syaoran growled, "They are all lies, I demand to be able to talk to Sakura." Eriol was about to say something when Sakura interrupted, "You can't demand anything. You may be the prince of china but this is Japan. Not everyone has to answer to you! So I think you had better just LEAVE!" Sakura yelled pointing to the door.
Syaoran looked at her, "No I have to talk to you Sakura," he pleaded. Sakura looked at him and then looked away sadly, "There is nothing for us to talk about. Just go, please," she said softly. Syaoran turned to leave with his two friends following behind. Everyone slowly went to their own rooms leaving only Eriol and Sakura left.
Eriol sighed, "You sure about this?" he asked her gently. "Why do you care?" she wanted to know as she turned to leave. "Because, no matter what you're still my little sister at heart," he told her. Sakura flinched, that comment struck something in her heart, "That's all I ever was, wasn't it? I was never anything more to you? God why do I even bother? No one can ever love me." Sakura slowly walked to her room crying silently.
Eriol stood there shocked, he had never thought of that. How much did Sakura mean to him, he sighed deeply, maybe it was better left untold? He walked towards his office trying to rid his mind of all the problems.
Sakura
She stood out on the balcony watching as the stars appeared. Eriol had told her earlier she didn't have to work today which she was grateful for. She looked up sadly as she touched the smooth white railing, "Why do things always turn out this way?" she asked no one in general. "It wasn't supposed to end up this way," a deep husky voice told her. She felt someone's strong arms wrap around her, "Than what was supposed to happen?" she cried tears falling now.
"We were supposed to date, until the day I leave and on that day I would've asked you to marry me," the voice told her holding on to her tightly. Sakura cried even harder, "All your words, they are all lies! And you're family would never be able to accept me. Why are we even trying? Why Syaoran answer me!" Syaoran turned her around and smiled a small smile, "Because I love you Sakura. I'm not lying, and if my family doesn't accept you than I shall leave my throne."
"God you were just using me Syaoran! How can I believe that you would ever want to be with me? Just a common whore," she demanded. Syaoran frowned, "Did you read the cheque I gave you?" Sakura looked up at him, "What do you mean?" Syaoran sighed, "Where did you put the cheque Sakura?" She walked inside and opened a drawer revealing the cheque he had given her. "Now read it," he commanded.
Sakura nodded her head and read the back of the cheque, 'Dear Sakura, last night was unbelievable. You made me feel like a different man, like I was actually normal. I wish to try to work things out with you. This cheque will be valid on the day I leave. Please start a new life. Maybe even with me.'
Sakura looked at him confused and turned the cheque over. On it read one million dollars. "Why are you giving me so much money? Are you trying to bribe me?" Syaoran looked at her and sighed, "It was so you could leave the brothel, hence the new life part."
Sakura looked into his deep chocolate eyes getting lost in them, "Are you lying to me now?" Sakura asked softly. He tilted her chin up so he could see her emerald jewels, "Does it look like I'm lying?" Sakura looked at him and shook her head while lunging towards him, "God I love you so much Syaoran." Syaoran chuckled and slowly pushed her away. Sakura was startled when she noticed him go down; he went on one knee and held on to her hand carefully.
He smiled his famous smile and said smoothly, "Will you Sakura Kinomoto marry me? And make me the happiest man alive?" Sakura looked at him a new fresh batch of tears came, "I don't know Syaoran, and I'm not ready yet. So much has happened. I-I-I don't know if I'm ready to trust you yet." Syaoran looked at her and nodded in understanding, "I'll give you some time, meet me tomorrow at Penguin Park." Sakura looked up at him and nodded, "Please go now." Syaoran nodded and headed out.
Miaka
"I can't hear them fighting anymore," she informed Takashi and Chiharu. "That has got to be a good sign," Chiharu said. "Not if they're dead," Takashi told them. Miaka looked at him scared while Chiharu smacked him on the head, "Tak! Don't scare us like that." The door opened interrupting them. There stood Syaoran looking better than he was earlier today.
"What happened?" Miaka asked when he closed the door. "She'll tell me tomorrow," was all he said. They three watched as he walked off. "I hope he's going to be okay…" Miaka said to no one in particular. Takashi nodded, "I think I better go talk to him." Chiharu nodded, "Go ahead Tak, I'll wait for you at home." Takashi gave her a kiss goodbye and followed Syaoran.
Miaka looked at them and touched Chiharu's shoulder gently, "I'm going to have a talk with Kaori." Chiharu looked at her and nodded, "I better talk with Mei Lin than."
They both headed their separate ways hoping for the best.
Mei Lin
She sat on the bed by herself thinking of all that happened, "God what have I done?" she asked herself. "It's okay Mei," she heard Chiharu say as she entered. "What are you doing here?" Mei Lin wanted to know. "I know what you did," Chiharu said gently while sitting down beside her.
Mei Lin sighed, "I'm sorry," she said softly. Chiharu shook her head, "You shouldn't be saying sorry to me." Mei Lin nodded in understanding, "I didn't mean for it to happen this way. I just…I just really wanted Kaori and Tomoyo to like me." Chiharu laughed, "So that's why."
Mei Lin looked at her, "Why are you laughing?" "Do you know how Kaori and Tomoyo became best friends in the first place?" Chiharu asked her. Mei Lin shook her head, "Well a few years back, when Sakura first came. All three of them were the best of friends. Sakura, Kaori, Miaka, they were inseparable."
Flashback
A young Sakura sat in her pure white room crying through her emerald orbs. "We have to help her," a gentle voice rang out. A girl with short dirty blond hair nodded, "This isn't right." "Kay, what can we do?" Miaka asked softly while holding on to her best friend. "Let's go and talk to her," Kaori suggested while she opened the door wider.
Sakura turned her head and started to back away in fright, "W-w-what are you doing here?" she asked softly. Miaka smiled along with Kaori, "We want to help you," she said gently while holding out her hand. Sakura looked at them scared, but than accepted her hand.
They all sat down on her bed talking about what had happened before. "I can't believe Eriol had the heart to do that," Miaka said disappointed in her owner. Kaori nodded in agreement, "I blame this all on Tomoyo, I mean if it wasn't for her none of this would've happened." Hearing their names Sakura started crying again, "Why does everything happen to me?" she demanded.
All the other two could do was hold her in their arms trying to comfort her. After that day they all learned a little bit about the other. Kaori was the first to enter the brothel, that was still here. She came when she was 15 and was sold by her father because he didn't want her anymore. Miaka was an orphan who was sent here because she was getting too old to stay there.
After that day Miaka and Kaori only had each other, but now they had a new friend, Sakura. A half a year had past now and they learned to love each other dearly. Chiharu smiled while a tear made its way down her soft pink check, "You know sometimes things aren't supposed to happen the way they do. But what can you do about it?" Tomoyo was visiting that day as saw Sakura alone by the cherry blossom tree, "Long time no see Sakura," she said evilly. Sakura looked at her with disgust, "Go away," she demanded.
Tomoyo just laughed at her, "Aww the little baby can't take it that I took her man." "Go away!" Sakura yelled this time while she rose to leave. Tomoyo laughed again, "I heard from Eriol that you're pregnant." Sakura hissed at her, "Leave me alone Miss Tomoyo." Tomoyo just stood there, "Now what would happen if you were to lose this baby?" she threatened.
"You wouldn't," Sakura said softly so only they could hear. Tomoyo smirked, "Watch yourself sweet heart." Tomoyo walked off her long ebony hair following behind her. Kaori had watched the whole thing and walked up to Sakura, "Don't worry she wouldn't dare do anything. I mean the child is Eriol's." Sakura nodded but tears were falling now.
Miaka saw them and hurriedly rand over, "Is something wrong?" Kaori was about to answer when Sakura interrupted, "No I'm fine Miaka, you don't need to worry. It is just because of the hormones." Miaka smiled, "Okay than let's go!" Kaori looked at Sakura and saw her mouth, 'Don't let her know.' Kaori nodded and they both headed inside.
End of Flashback
Chiharu looked at Mei Lin, "The rest of the story, none of us really know except for Sakura and Kaori. All that we know is that a few days after Kaori was accused of killing Sakura's baby and the three of them just broke up. Miaka chose to not believe either one of the stories and stayed friends with them both."
"But I don't get it, what happened? And what does this have to do with Tomoyo?" Mei Lin demanded to know. Chiharu looked at her, "Since it was told that Kaori was the one who killed the baby, Tomoyo grew a great interest in her. And well here we are today. You know," Chiharu continued, "Everyone believed it was a frame job. And Kaori being friends with Tomoyo is completely false. But no one really knows for sure what happened that day. All we know is Kaori wouldn't actually like Tomoyo."
Mei Lin nodded, there was too much to the story. "How did you know it was me though?" Mei Lin wanted to know. Chiharu looked at her and smiled, "Ryu told Tak, and Tak told me." Mei Lin nodded, "I think you better check on Sakura, I have some things to do." Chiharu smiled, "Okay, take care." Mei Lin nodded.
Kaori
She sat on her bed silently praying, 'Oh Kami-san please bless Sakura she doesn't deserve any of this.' Tears were falling down her blue eyes now. Knocking was heard on her door, she opened it revealing Miaka. She smiled sadly at her friend, "Kay," Miaka said softly. Kaori lunged at her and started crying, "Oh Mia what have I done?" Kaori asked her while she cried on her shoulder.
"Why did you hurt Sakura?" Miaka wanted to know. Kaori looked at her soft brown eyes and sighed, "I-I-I didn't want to Mia, I really didn't," she said as she continued crying into her hands. "Why won't you guys tell me what happened?" Miaka demanded. Kaori looked at her and looked down at her hands, "It was my entire fault," she said softly.
Miaka held onto Kaori's shoulder, "Me and Sakura both know you would never have killed her child. God we were best friends Kaori we know everything about each other. Please tell me the truth." Tears were falling endlessly down now, "It happened a week before the death Mia," she said gently.
