----- Chapter 47: Her or Them
"YOU WILL NOT DARE TOUCH THEM!" Syaoran screamed.
"Oops, already did. If you want them, bring Sakura to me."
"WHERE?" Syaoran roared.
"Tomorrow night, at the harbour."
"You fucking got it. Don't you fucking dare touch my kids or else,"
"Else what? You aren't in any position to send threats Li." Hiro said before hanging up. Just as he hung up a phone call came from the hospital saying Eriol Hiiragizawa, Tomoyo Hiiragizawa and Touya Kinomoto have been admitted into the local Hong Kong hospital…
Syaoran growled as he turned to see his brother and wife only to meet his brother catching his fainted wife…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"MOMMY!" Yang screamed for his mother. Hiro held him an arms length away.
"Hitomi, how do I make it shut up?" Hiro asked.
Hitomi shrugged. "Hey, I'm only the messenger, Hiro you're the one who made up the stupid plan of kidnapping the twins. How the hell does this affect Sakura?"
"Stupid, the twins are Sakura's life. They're her kids." Kiyoumi shot to her cousin. Hitomi sighed. "But did it mean I had to go against Shoaling?" Hitomi asked.
"What, do you love him?" Hiro asked his stepsister.
"No duh. He's my everything." Hitomi said dreamily.
"Ugh, Hitomi's gone gaga over the eldest Li twin." Kiyoumi said as she patted Taiyou's back, making her quiet a little bit.
"I kidnapped these rats to lure Li and his wife, not fucking baby sit them!" Hiro roared. That caused Ying and Yang to cry again.
"Damn! Kiyoumi, you take care of the stupid twins." He said as he gave Taihen to his cousin.
"I'll go call up Li."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura, Syaoran, Shoaling, Nadesiko, Yelan, Xenon, Fanran, Fuutie, Feimiel and Sheifa were at the hospital visiting Touya, Eriol and Tomoyo. After Sakura fainted, Shoaling called everybody at the other Li Mansion. Sakura woke up an hour or two later and after a bit of resting; they're at the hospital now, seeing how the other three are.
Sakura clung onto Syaoran for her dear life as they made it to Tomoyo's ward first.
"Tomoyo?" Nadesiko called for her niece gingerly. Sonomi was in Japan right now and was informed of Tomoyo's state. She would be flying in asap.
"I'M SO SORRY!" Tomoyo cried as Sakura walked beside her. Sakura hugged Tomoyo, trying to keep her tears from running.
"It's… Tomoyo it wasn't your fault."
"Of course it was! If I had at least taken Ken, we could have stopped Hiro from taking the twins."
Sakura sighed, knowing Tomoyo, Eriol and Touya didn't take any bodyguards with them. Syaoran walked up to Tomoyo and put a hand over hers. "It isn't your fault Tomoyo."
"Yes it is!" Tomoyo cried every harder in Sakura's lap. Sakura send a look of 'HELP' to Yelan and her mother. Nadesiko and Yelan stepped forward and soothed Tomoyo.
"You guys go on and see how Touya and Eriol are," Yelan started but Tomoyo gasped.
"Eriol and Touya got shot…" She started to cry even harder.
Sakura got up and swayed a bit. Syaoran and Shoaling supported Sakura as the Li sisters and them three walked out. Nadesiko would see her son a bit later. Xenon stayed with the two elderly women.
"Where are rooms 32C and 22B?" Shoaling asked.
"Ask that nurse." Fanran told her brother. Shoaling walked up to a woman with flowing dark brown hair. He tapped her shoulder and she turned around, frowning slightly at being disturbed. Shoaling was amazed at the wonderful shade of oak that her eyes were. He looked at her tag and saw that her name was 'Rini'.
"Um… yes, can you tell us where rooms 32C and 22B are?" Shoaling asked her. He was mesmerized by her eyes and well… just plain everything about her. Rini blushed as she pointed down the hall. "22B is that way and 32C is the floor about this."
Shoaling flashed a killer smile. "Thanks Rini."
Rini's eyes widened as she saw Li Sakura, Li Syaoran, the Li sisters and Li Shoaling rush by her…
"Pinch me; did Li Shoaling just flirt with me?" She asked as she shook her head. She looked at her schedule and saw that she was now checking up on Kinomoto Touya, in room… 22B?
'Oh dear god,' she thought as she quickly walked in that direction.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura and Fuutie advanced towards Touya.
"'Nii-chan?" Sakura said quietly. Touya had a big gash that was bandaged up on his stomach. Touya opened his eyes a bit to see his girlfriend and sister right beside him.
"Fuck that Hiro," He blared out, not caring about his wound. He tired to get up but Shoaling and Syaoran held him down.
"Don't get up to damn fast Touya." Syaoran told his brother-in-law.
"That stupid fucker took Ying and Yang." Touya growled.
"Did he ransom yet?" Touya asked his sister. Sakura nodded.
"What did that bastard want?" Touya asked.
"Me for exchange of the twins…" Sakura said quietly. Touya's eyes widened. "YOU SAY WHAT? YOU FOR THEM?"
Sakura had tears dripping down her cheek. "Yes…"
Touya glared at Syaoran. "Are the Police involved?"
"Yeah. We called Inspector Kyoto and he's men are on the case. They're searching for Hiro, Hitomi and Kiyoumi at the moment." Syaoran said.
"That evil fucking, conniving bastard." Touya growled. A soft knock on the door caused them to all look around.
"Sorry, but I have to check on Kinomoto-san." Rini said softly. Shoaling smirked as they moved aside.
"We should check on Eri now." Sakura said.
Syaoran nodded as he wrapped n arm around his wife's waist leading her out of the room. Shoaling's cell phone at that moment started ringing.
"Who the… who the hell is Hito?" Shoaling raised a brow.
Sakura snorted. "That's Hiro, his 'R' on his phone doesn't work…"
Shoaling shook his head as he picked up. "Why the hell are you calling?"
"I just want to know, is it her or them?"
"You'll fucking know when it's tomorrow night bastard." Shoaling growled. Hiro chuckled. "Very well then." And he hung up, but Shoaling hear Ying scream. He paled.
He chucked his phone to Syaoran who quickly did some button pressing but found that Hiro's number wasn't coming onto caller ID.
"Why did he call me?" Shoaling said.
"We changed all of our numbers. Hitomi knew yours and you didn't change it." Fuutie said.
"What did he say?" Syaoran asked his brother.
"If it's Sakura or the twins."
"That stupid idiotic bastard!" Syaoran growled. Sakura's heart was beating a billion beats a nanosecond.
"Let's just see Eriol and leave." She said.
They made it to Eriol's room to find that he was sleeping. Syaoran told the doctor to give Eriol a message after he wakes up. The 7 went back to Tomoyo's room to tell Yelan, Xenon and Nadesiko that they're going home now. Syaoran will send another limo to pick them up when they're ready to leave.
Sakura started crying again as they got into the limo. "What if he does something to my babies?" She cried.
Syaoran rubbed her back. "He won't." But even Syaoran wasn't sure…
"Trust me Sakura, he won't." Shoaling said as he rubbed her arm.
Sakura dug her face into her hands and started crying harder. Syaoran and Shoaling exchanged worried glances as they both tried to sooth Sakura. Fanran, Fuutie, Feimiel and Sheifa were also trying to sooth Sakura down a notch or two.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(I'm listening to Inuyasha and Kagome's theme right now and man am I in a very sad mood…)
They arrived at home but everybody was quiet… Sakura's sniffles were heard and you could hear the gears clicking in Syaoran and Shoaling's heads.
"So, what do we do? Dress Fuutie like Sakura and hand her over to Hiro? They are the same height." Shoaling said.
"Shut up and be serious." Fuutie growled.
"What the fuck, I am being serious!"
"BE EVEN MORE SERIOUS STUPID!" Fanran slapped Shoaling across the head. He glared at his sisters and then turned to his brother. "What now?"
Syaoran cracked his knuckles. "All we do is wait, and just pray to god that he doesn't touch the twins, or else I'm skinning him alive!"
Sakura hiccupped as Syaoran led her to their bedroom.
"I won't be able to fall asleep." Shoaling told his sisters.
"Neither can we." Sheifa said.
"Then all we have to do is sit here…" Feimiel said as they sat down and stared at their hands… only one single thought in their head…
'God let the twins be alright…'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Half way through the night, Sakura walked outside of her bedroom. Nobody could fall asleep. The Li sisters and Shoaling were downstairs, Syaoran was with Sakura in their bedroom the entire time. While he was in the bathroom Sakura walked to the balcony to get some fresh air.
She felt warm arms wrap around her waist and she leaned in against him. "Syaoran,"
"Nothing will happen to them. Hiro knows that if he touches them he dies… like he's not dead already."
Sakura let the tears fall again. "Syaoran! They're my babies!"
"They're mine too Sakura. You think this isn't tearing me up? Everything inside is boiling, my brain is on overdrive; my body is aching to punch Hiro right now but… Inspector Kyoto is doing his job, and tomorrow we'll do ours."
"What is our job exactly? Hand me over? I think I will go with Hiro… only to keep my babies safe."
"No, Shoaling and I have thought of something." Syaoran said.
"What is it?"
"You'll see tomorrow…"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is now tomorrow and today was yesterday and today is tomorrow…
In other words, today was the day Sakura and Syaoran got to see the twins at the harbour.
"Syaoran," Sakura said as she hugged her knees. Nobody slept last night. Yelan, and Nadesiko kept Sakura company while Xenon, Syaoran and Shoaling thought up way more ideas. The Li sisters were trying to stay secluded… all 4 of them fearing for the worst and Inspector Kyoto called up last night saying that no information on the Li twins (baby Li twins) have come yet…
Syaoran nodded. "Tonight is the time."
------------------------------------------------
That night Sakura, Syaoran and Shoaling all went to the harbour. Everybody else wanted to come but the three thought it would be best if the three main victims go.
Syaoran stopped driving and they got out.
"Where would they be?" Sakura asked. Just then Shoaling's cell rung. He picked it up and saw that it was 'Hito' calling.
"What?"
"Walk to the end and then you'll get to see the twins." And he hung up.
"What?" Sakura asked.
"He said walk to the end."
Sakura and Syaoran exchanged glances as they all started walking across the boardwalk all the way to the end… and indeed at the very end they saw Hitomi and Kiyoumi holding onto the twins and Hiro in the middle of them.
"HIRO!" Syaoran roared. Shoaling had his eyes on Hitomi and Sakura trembled seeing her twins…
"What'll it be then Li, her or them?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GOMEN NASAI! But once you get to the end of a story, ideas just seem to run out… -sigh- maan this is a crappy chapter but I only have 4 left…
STAY TUNED!
Lub,
Sakura
