Chapter 3: The Mighty Syaoron? Heh!
I could've glared at him and punch his lights out…but instead I looked at the wailing boy on the ground and picked him up softly.
"Xaio Rei?" I whispered softly cradling his head to my breast as I had done to Zang Zi numerous of times when she woke up from a nightmare.
"Ma?" He whispered playing with my hair. He looked up into my eyes and I met him square with a gentle look I only put on for Zang Zi.
"You're not ma" Xaio Rei stated. He ran from her and Syaoron opened his arms for his son but he ran past to his room slamming the door hard.
Heart-wrenching sobs could be heard as no one spoke.
I felt my heart break for the first time in a long time, as I also felt helpless to destiny. He was alone and so were I but I had Zang Zi and he had Syaoron so we were equal…but it seemed his father wasn't at all good with him either.
"Who are you?" Syaoron finally rested his gaze back on me and I wiped the smirk that threatened to spread on my face off.
"Why Syaoron, I'm surprised you forgot…but then that's highly understandable since I don't keep in touch…"
I felt his gaze on me as he looked me up and down and came to the conclusion in wasn't his dead wife after all. When his amber eyes touched my emerald ones again I saw the knowledge in his eyes as he finally dawned on who I was.
"So" Syaoron sneered at me, "It took Suki's death to get you here huh?"
If he weren't my crush I would have left him a breath away from death at that "smart" remark.
"Yeah, so…" I answered unnervingly and stuck my chin up another notch. "I wasn't needed her and my job demanded me to be attentive. So what exactly are you stating Syaoron?" I crossed my arms and looked to the door but long ago I had trained my face to remain emotionless and to act as if I stared into their soul when I stared past them.
It unnerved him…I could tell as he adverted his gaze but what he didn't know was that I could barely look upon him without a sense of want.
"Syaoron…I see you've already found one to replace Suki…" I looked at the lady standing in a nightgown with her hair in tangles. She was everything Suki wasn't…I could tell…so why…
All right, since you're the readers I'll tell you…I was JEALOUS! Happy? I said it. I was different but NO he picked someone who had black hair, piercing black eyes and a conniving mouth.
"Dammit Sakura…"
"Oh!" I raised an eyebrow "so you do remember me…how…" I waved my hand a couple of times faintly like I was trying to find the word. "Pleasant" I said sweetly with my killer innocent smile.
"She's not a damanble…"
"Tsk" I said quickly "you have a child in the presence of the house"
"Saku…"
"Hmm?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
Uncontrollable was my middle name. I was known to unnerve my victims and slowly make them rather...paranoid. Then again… I was very good at questioning and everything else that came with my looks. I knew I looked good so I didn't need him to tell me!
Okay…
I did…
But can you blame a girl who tried to hard to work off those pounds after giving birth then keeping in tone while all the time keeping up her appearance?
Hey a girl will always be a girl.
"Look"
"No" I interrupted "you look, whom you have and whom she is doesn't contribute to me…I'm here just to see Xaio Rei and get him settled back down. I don't need your interference and all you best do is lie low."
"Sakura you look! This is …"
"Your house?" I asked turning around with a fingertip to my lip knowing I looked extra innocent. "I know it is! But I never claimed it nor your son, I'm simply here trying to help my sister's child move on slowly without a breakdown…at least I came here thinking I needed to heal two hearts but it seemed you've already mended you're a hundred percent"
"Shut it Kinomoto!" Syaoron said harshly "you won't talk to me like that while we're under my roof and you shouldn't speak as if my fiancée isn't here at all."
"Ahh, so she is more than a common wench"
I seriously hadn't anted to show all my colors as if I was a jealous wife but hell with it…He'd pick up some trash to care for Suki's son…okay…Suki may not have been the best sister but her son had nothing to do with all of this.
"You…" Syaoron started
My eyes flashed and I stopped it for the dangerous glint meant someone was going to get hurt and I seriously hadn't wanted to hurt him at all.
"Fine… I won't say anymore…but!" I turned back "Xaio Rei will go with me…"
"NO!" Syaoron roared
"Please tell me what's going on!"
I turned to the third member in this room finally and noticed she could speak. I flashed a quick smile in her direction and stated what I thought.
"I was simply allowing myself to take the child so you and Mr. Li can have your "fun" together privately."
"Really? Well Syao dear how can you be so cruel as to not let this kind lady take Xaio Rei?"
The poor lady was a complete dumb person… If she were a smart educated woman she would've been offended rather than pleased.
"Zhou Wei! She wants to keep my son away from me!"
"Oh" She gasped. The lady now named as Zhou Wei pointed a blood red fingernail at me "You tricked me!"
The lord save me from all stupid people in the world! I prayed silently.
"Li…whether you like it or not, Xaio Rei is coming with me or I stay here…"
"You may stay here!" Syaoron decided immediately afraid to part with Xaio Rei.
I felt a bit of hurt that I conned him into letting me stay but god Dammit! Serves him right for throwing me aside!
"But you shall obey me!"
"Look, for your son's protection I'd rather not have you disappear if Suki really was murdered I…Investigators would probably want you two safe."
Syaoron absorbed that in and I knew he hate to admit that I was right but then again I was always right since this was…my profession. So the mighty Syaoron really was a wuss sometimes and I guess that boosted my ego a little…all right a lot!
Nodding briefly to him I made myself comfortable in the room next to Xaio Rei and ignored both of them as I stepped into Xaio Rei's room to try again
"Xaio Rei?" I asked softly and watched as he slowly raised his head from his spot sulking at the corner. When he saw me he gave me his father's famous glare but all I did was smile and sit next to him. When he tried again I reached out and poked him softly on the forehead as Suki used to do to me.
What happened next was a breakthrough to me as he talked to me so softly…
"Mommy used to do that to me…"
"Really?" I asked pulling him into my lap as I sat on his bed. "Well you want to know a secret?"
Xaio Rei nodded excitedly captivated at me, who looked so much like his mother.
"She used to do that to me to" I whispered softly into his ear and he grinned.
Quite suddenly his smile faded and he hopped off my lap. Not understanding I quickly grabbed him back.
"What's wrong?" I asked worried
"Daddy says I'm to big to sit on laps…besides…Ma never let me sit on her lap as soon as I was three. I'm the master of the house you know…"
I finally understood what this child was going through…not enough love.
"How was your family Xaio Rei?"
'I don't know…Mommy was always trying to leave and daddy was always yelling…but when it got quiet I knew they were okay again…"
"How did it get quiet?" I asked curious. I sat next to him stroking his hair like I usually did to Zang Zi and I could tell he knew he wasn't suppose to do that but like it and I liked doing it.
"Well…Daddy kissed mommy then they're all over each other...then daddy pushes mommy on a wall then…"
I reddened. Ashamed that such things were seen by this little boy.
"You must never speak of this again understand"
"Okay…but who are you…you look like my mommy…but mommy wasn't so nice like you…"
"Why not?"
"She never liked doing anything for me…"
"Oh…" I felt the pain of this child and knew instantly the child just wanted a little more love and I was going to give that to him but first thing's first….
"I'm your Auntie Sakura…"
"Oh…" His eyes widened
I smiled a little as he laid his head down without a hesitation and I stroked his head until he slept. All the while I plotted how to strangle Syaoron for not caring for his son, at least my bust schedule always allowed me to see my girl…
Closing my eyes I let the memories of Zang Zi fill me and a smile touched my lips for the briefest of seconds…it was interrupted…you ask by what/
I'll tell you what! When a horny witch screams down the hall to screw her better you'd get disturbed to. I could see Xaio Rei was used to it as he slept through the loud noise. I set him down and cracked my knuckles. It was high time I deal with this so-called man of the house!
……………………………………………………………………………………….
What great timing he had as he walked out and I leaned against a wall
"Well Li…could you screw her a little louder?"
He sighed "Sakura… I don't know why you hate me so…"
I laughed "don't play innocent with me Li"
" All right maybe it was a little soon but I need someone to watch Xaio Rei…"
"A slut to watch your son… oh Li how beautiful"
"Look, what other choice did I have"
"Many" I said cruelly.
Fir the first time in those three minutes he met my cold killer eyes.
"Mark my words Li Syaoron… Xaio Rei better be getting some attention from you as a father or I personally will take him from you!"
"Damn Sak…are you some lawyer"
"I could be" I smiled chillingly and for the first time I thought he saw through that chilling innocent smile as so many have my victims realized to late.
I left him to think it over…besides…I had other things to deal with…like my mission….
……………………………………………………………………………………….
Entering the room for me I noticed my cell going off
"Yeah?"
"X?"
"Hmm?"
"A special mission has been requested for you to finish immediately"
"Who/"
"Madam S"
"Who's that?"
"I don't know, new client"
"Why me? I can't leave here"
"I know but the funny thing is the job is where you are at!"
"Oh…what a coincidence…well who is it they want dead?"
"Li Xaiolang…"
"LI?"
