Whole at last
Chapter 10
"I hope you don't mind that we go somewhere a little bit more…" The leader of the Li clan thought of which word to use as Touya and her slowly walked out of the Li mansion and unto the street, "secluded… yes, secluded will do. What do you say about it?" She turned around and looked at Touya with the curiosity of a five-year old girl.
He in exchanged just looked at her, thinking…
"I suppose… I still have no choice in the matter, so whatever you see fit is fine."
Ieran laughed quietly. He was right, he had no choice. She put her arm around his and said:
"All right, let's go then." In a flash, the two people standing in the middle of a street in Tomoeda disappeared completely. Nothing was left for anyone to even consider that there had been once two people standing right there.
At the same time Ieran and Touya had disappeared, Syoran fell to the floor with a loud bang.
"Syoran! Are you ok?" Sakura said.
"What. What happened to me?" He asked confused.
"Someone must have used their magical powers to freeze you, Syoran" Kaho said.
"What? Who could've done that?" Yukito asked.
"I don't know… but that person must surely have great powers…"
"Could it… Could it have been, Alex, the guy who attacked us the other day?" A little afraid, Sakura asked Kaho.
Kaho looked at both Syoran and Sakura and after a few seconds said:
"Quite possibly." But she knew it was not true. Even if that guy, Alex, was powerful and skilled enough for such thing, he was not near the house and therefore, he was not the one responsible for freezing Syoran in that way.
"Yeah… but what stopped that spell he put on me? Why could I suddenly move?" Thought Syoran out loud.
"Someone must have broken his concentration, perhaps…" Yukito said as he walked to the kitchen for a glass of water for Syoran.
"I see…"
"Mmm… I guess that we must find him and stop him…" Sakura said quietly. Yukito, Kaho and Syoran looked at her.
"I don't want him to hurt anyone else. I mean Syoran was not hurt but he probably would've been if he had been frozen longer." She firmly stated, it was true, Meilin and Syoran might have been lucky enough to survive him almost without any harm done to them but that did not mean the next would be too.
"I agree" Syoran said as he grabbed Sakura's hand. "I cannot forgive him for hurting Meilin like that and I am not going to let him have a chance to hurt you." He looked into her eyes as he said it, his eyes showing pure devotion and love.
"Speaking about you Sakura," Yukito broke in. "We should talk about what Alex said about his father and your mother."
"Yeah, Yukito told me that he had said that your mother, Nadeshko, had killed his father… do you know anything about it?" said Kaho.
"Um… no, not really. I was too young when my mom died, so I really don't know anything about that." Sakura closed her eyes searching deeply in her mind for any memories that could've had anything to do with Alex or his father but she had no luck.
"I guess my brother knows… but, I don't think he will open up easily… even I've had trouble talking to him, as you know…" A few tears fell from her face; she had just remembered how he had treated her and told her he was not going to her wedding. He just broke her heart… and apparently had no intentions of changing his mind… for any of it.
"Don't worry Sakura, he'll come around. At the end he won't leave your side, he loves you" Syoran tried to give Sakura some hope, although he didn't like Touya much, he knew that Touya loved Sakura and that he really wasn't going to desert her. And even if he did try to, Syoran knew he was not going to let Touya do so…
"So what are you going to do with me now?" Touya asked Ieran without any sort of sexual innuendo.
But Ieran answered with all that was possible.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Stop kidding around and tell me what's up with you coming to Tomoeda all of a sudden and being so huggy and loving with everyone." He walked around what appeared to be an old library. He read the titles of a few books and realized this was a library containing only books dealing with magic. 'Magical Powers Vol. 1', 'How to use your inner magic' and 'Teletransportation for beginners' were some books Touya saw.
"You know why I went there. I came for you, my dear." Ieran walked to get closer to him.
"Oh. You know Ieran, as attractive and smart as you are, you really aren't my type. Sorry." She smiled forcefully. "Or anyone in your family for that matter" He mumbled.
"Ah. None of my family you say, yet, I see that you have no objections to my niece."
"Your niece? Ah, you mean Meilin. No, I certainly have no objections dealing with her. Mmm… I guess I don't really count her as part of your family. She has no powers anyways so she practically isn't part of your family. Actually, now that I think of it, I had one, but it's been taken care of." He took a book and started perusing it.
"What you did was wrong, Touya. As powerful as you are you shouldn't go against destiny. The elders already despise you-" She was cut off from her little speech.
"They are jealous! Those old bastards! They challenged me, they defied my decisions and so I battled them and won. Why should I care what they think?"
"Touya. Calm down. I am just saying that you should not mess with destiny. In fact, you already did. And the elders aren't happy." She got closer to him.
"I doesn't matter how they feel. And destiny… it should just kiss my ass…" Ieran got closer to Touya and hugged him from his back. "What are the bad news?" He finished saying.
"Meilin… she was supposed to die then. Alex was supposed to kill her, and he did… But you saved her… Oh. There is no turning back now, Touya…" He turned around to face her.
"I know." He said and then he leaned in so that his lips met with hers…
The End
