You Brought Me Back
By: Witch Hunter Sakura
Chapter 7: Meiling
I turned around startled as Sakura bolted from the room, fear evident in her eyes. The phone was hanging off the hook dangling over the edge of the table. I walked over to it cautiously. What could have made Sakura run out like that?
I raised the phone to my ear, but all I could hear was the constant dial tone. No luck there. I sat the phone back on the receiver and looked towards the door where Sakura ran out. Time to go find her.
- -
"Where could she have gone?" Syaoran asked Tomoyo and Eriol. He had informed them of the mysterious phone call and Sakura's hasty exit. Neither of them knew who was on the other line or why Sakura had bolted from the room.
"It's somewhat unlike her...unless..." Tomoyo started, bringing her hand up to her cheek. "...it has to do with what we found in her abandoned home not to long ago." Eriol nodded.
"What'd you two find?"
"Well, we gave you somewhat of a tiny description earlier on, but I guess we could tell you everything..." Eriol closed his eyes and cleared his throat before starting to tell the story of the day that took place only a couple weeks before. That day that revealed so much, but then again, so little. He told him of the skeletal figures Tomoyo and him found in Sakura's house; the one's that they suspected to be her family. "The house was ransacked when we found it..."
"Did you contact the police about it? Surely they had something to do with it if the bodies are still there," Syaoran reasoned. "Maybe someone planned this... Did Sakura's family have any enemies?"
"Everyone loved them, and they were highly respected. Everyone was scared when they suddenly disappeared...but I don't think anyone got near the house. I've asked Sakura to write it down and tell me what happened, but all she writes is 'I don't want to relive the memory.' I'm starting to worry...Sakura, even though she has that smiling face, is hiding something from us and I think that has something to do with why she doesn't talk," Tomoyo explained. Eriol nodded.
"Do you think that whatever's keeping Sakura from talking is actually something that happened to her after the killing of her family?" Syaoran asked.
"Well...that's a given kinda since she was singing and dancing before all this happened. Something happened those days right after...wait a second...those days were the days that I was away in America and you were away in England," Tomoyo said, pointing at Eriol, "Something did happen and it had its perfect chance since she was so vulnerable. The thing is, why would someone want to hurt dear Sakura," Tomoyo ended fading out.
"Maybe..." Eriol started, "it wasn't Sakura...but something she had. Maybe like an heirloom or precious item close to her..."
"Or maybe it was her virginity," Tomoyo stated. "There were many suitors that tried millions of times to be with Sakura, but she turned them down as always. A couple of them got mad, and tried again, but they still were turned down. Some of them might have held a grudge against that... But hey, it's just a guess."
"You know, now that I remember it... That time I first met her, she kept running away from this one boy who kept asking her and asking her to marry him. She had told him so many times to stop, but once she got fed up, she had punched him, and he stopped. But I could tell in his eyes that he wanted her so bad almost to the point that he'd do anything to get her. Maybe he's got something to do with it."
"He's at fault as much as her other suitors if it's one of them... For all we know...it could be just a fight between families or companies... They were highly known, you know."
"We should talk to her," Syaoran said out of the blue.
"Well, cute little cousin, YOU'RE her psychologist...have fun!" Eriol said over his shoulder as he grabbed Tomoyo and walked off to their room.
"HEY! AN-AND DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Syaoran huffed and turned on his heel heading for his room.
- -
No...
Stay...away from me...
Stop...right now...
You...can't...you have no right...
STOP! I screamed, sitting up, nearly falling from my perch in the cherry tree right outside my room. I sighed and leaned back against the stem of the tree.
Why had he called...he's tortured me enough...hurting me, keeping me against my will... Once I get my voice back...he will pay.
"Sakura?" someone asked from below me. The familiar voice startled me, knocking me from my thoughts and jolting my body backward from surprise. I fell backwards and was luckily caught by the owner of the voice. "What were you doing in a tree?" Syaoran asked, holding me carefully. I stared at him, a visible blush creeping onto my cheeks... Eh? Why am I blushing? I wiggled out of his arms and stood in front of him.
"Everyone's worried about you, you know, even me." I stared at him as tears sprung to my eyes. He was going to come and hurt them; he was going to come and hurt my friends! He knows where I am! I slid to the ground, my hands covering my faces as my tears raced down my face and shattered on the cold floor beneath me. "Hey..." he said, sitting in front of me. "Everything will be all right..." He reached over and hugged me around my shoulders. My tears stopped suddenly, and I dropped my hands, staring at him through my tear- filled eyes. Was he...hugging me and soothing me? My face seemed to heat up even more at that thought. "Everything will be fine...just you see." He smiled to me and I smiled back. Somehow I knew everything would be okay.
- -
"What does it look like? Did he do anything?"
"He hugged her."
"That's it?!? Oh come on, Syaoran. You're perfect for her!"
"Tomoyo, quiet down. They'll hear us!" Eriol hissed, turning back towards the couple. "Aw...they're getting up. Come on let's go before they spot us."
"NOW I wished I hadn't left my camcorder at home..." Tomoyo mumbled, following her boyfriend.
- -
"I saw Eriol and Tomoyo. They were watching us," Syaoran suddenly said, helping me off the ground. I giggled. "Want to go in?"
I nodded happily, walking to the entrance of the house. I took one last look outside.
Everything was so peaceful... The stars were out twinkling brightly and the lights of the city illuminated the countryside, which was covered in several different kinds of flowers, trees, and other plants. Everything looked like it came from a painting, for not one place could be that truly peaceful.
- -
I unlocked the sliding window carefully and ventured inside the old, dark room where the girl lay. My master had wanted her for some reason, though it does not matter to me. He had said something about her being a special one. Translation: she was still a girl because she still held her virginity.
I walked over to the small bed on the other side of the room, glancing at her. She was indeed beautiful, as my master had said. Her eyes were closed in a deep slumber and her honey brown hair was fanned out around her. An angel...most would say.
Then all was lost.
"SYAORAN!!" A shrill scream erupted from the house. I dashed away quickly, forgetting to lock the door behind me.
- -
"CRAP! SHE'S HERE!" Syaoran lightly yelled, jumping from the mattress and pulling his pants on. He raced around the small pool and nearly collided with me. I looked at him worriedly. He pulled me out the door and into the hallway where we met with Tomoyo and Eriol.
"We can here her a mile away..." Eriol mumbled half asleep. He was still in his blue pajamas.
"I could still be asleep if Eriol hadn't come into my room!" Tomoyo hissed pulling the robe she had on around her for warmth.
"Don't worry, Tomoyo. With her in the house, you won't get ANY sleep," Syaoran reasoned.
We walked down the hallway and into the living area. There was a girl wearing a red Chinese dress with a black dragon on it standing there, smirking. She turned her head at the sound of our padded feet hitting the carpeted floor.
"Hello, Syaoran," she greeted to the man beside me. "A girlfriend already? Wow that was fast. Didn't think after our broken engagement that auntie Yelan would let you have another girlfriend."
"She's not my girlfriend," he muttered. The girl was upon me in an instant.
"Why? She's pretty and skinny and you two would make a cute couple! Right Daidouji?"
"Meiling, you don't have to use formalities. We're friends after all, and yes, I absolutely believe that they would make a great couple."
While everyone talked about Syaoran and I being a great couple, many other figures walked into the room.
"Meiling." Meiling turned instantly. "It's in the early hours of the morn."
"Yes, I know, Auntie Yelan, but I couldn't wait till next week! I wanted to see you all so much!"
"All right Meiling, but next time...make till we're all awake," Eriol said. "We have a big week this week, and we need our rest." Everyone nodded except Tomoyo, Syaoran, and I.
Yelan, Marie, and her husband walked back down the hall that led to their rooms. They left a young woman standing behind. Once they were out of sight, the young woman walked over to us. "Meiling, you know Syaoran can't have another girlfriend while he already has one."
I looked from the woman to Meiling. Meiling looked worried almost and mouthed something to Syaoran. She gasped and turned around, putting on a quick smile.
"OH...how could I forget," she started sarcastically, "he has a fiancée now. Great..." She turned back around. "Wait...then who are you?" she asked me.
"Her name's Sakura. She's my client," Syaoran filled in.
"Syaoran, she can speak for herself." I looked towards the ground, silent tears welling in my eyes.
"She can't," Tomoyo ended.
- -
"I want us to get to know each other better...not out of pity but as a friend. You can even meet the witch here, too," Meiling said, gesturing towards Syaoran's fiancée.
We were all sitting in the floor of my room since it was the biggest. None of us seemed to be tired since Meiling's wake up call...or greeting in the middle of the night. We all sat in a circle; Meilin next to me, then Syaoran on the other side, his fiancée next, then Tomoyo and Eriol.
"My name's Meiling Li. I'm 22 years old. I'm married and on the way with my first child."
"REALLY! OH MY GOD MEILING AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME!" Tomoyo yelled, staring at Meiling with stars in her eyes.
"Tomoyo...keep it down...people are trying to sleep," Eriol reasoned.
"I was but then I just found out..." I smiled. All of a sudden, I felt something jab me hard in the ribs. I turned towards Syaoran, who was trying to pry the girl off his arm. She had fallen asleep with a death grip on Syaoran's arm.
She was a rather pretty girl with blue eyes and light blonde hair. She was skinny but not as skinny as me. She was well kept, I could tell, but her attitude and manners needed work.
Syaoran had finally gotten the girl off his arm and breathed heavily, turning his head around to me. He met with my smiling face and I could see his face heat up. Uh oh...is he sick? The window was open...oh boy. I raised my hand to his forehand and his face seemed to heat up even more.
"Sakura," Tomoyo giggled, "You're so dense. Take your hand down because he's not sick. He's BLUSHING. Something you want to tell us there, Syaoran?" She giggled, as did everyone else. I pulled my hand away and stared at him weirdly.
"Nothing."
"Yeah whatever. Okay...are we going to continue?"
"Ummm...I guess I could introduce the brat..." Meiling said. "Her name is Ladriel Acosta. She's 22, just like me. And I don't think she's even gone to bed with the opposite sex." Meiling giggled at this. "So what's your name?"
Wait...I could answer her by writing it down...YEAH! That's how I'll do it! I got up from the floor and raced over to the nightstand by the bed. I grabbed the notebook and spare pencil from the drawer and walked back over to the group on the floor, all the while writing my info down. I handed the paper to Meiling and she read it aloud.
"'Sakura Kinomoto. 20 yrs old. Not married. No children.' Wow...you're young. And you know what? You have really beautiful writing." I smiled, grabbing the notebook and writing 'Thank you' on it. "So what interests you Sakura?" I wrote a list of hobbies on the pad of paper. "Hmmm...dancing? Really? I love to dance. And sing, too. Just like you. We're going to become really good friends. Hmm...what kind of dance?" I took the paper and wrote down 'all kinds' and showed it to her. "Show me?" I smiled and walked behind the group where there was a large open area between them and the window. I put one finger up and began to think. Hmmm...I could always... I smiled, nodding my head.
I walked over to the end of the room and raised my arms. I smiled to everyone and flipped over slowly, bringing my toes into points. I rolled into the splits and posed for about a second before tying in some jazz moves with it. I stopped when I was done and bowed. Everyone was clapping. "Ballet? Do you know ballet?" I nodded then looked around. The room was too small. I smiled sadly. "Something wrong, Sakura?" I raised my arms to indicate the room and motioned a small box. "The room is...too small, I'm guessing?" I nodded happily. I glanced over at the clock. 5:30. Perfect. No one was up yet.
I grabbed Meiling's hands and dragged her out of the room and into the large garden. "Here?" Tomoyo asked. I shook my head 'no' and ran off into the trees, the group soon running after me.
- -
I watched as she twirled and twirled, her toes pointed and hands curved elegantly. Her and that loud woman were dancing together, the loud woman supposedly the male partner of the act. She twisted gracefully around the woman and ended slowly lowering into the splits. "That was great Sakura! I never knew you could dance like that!" another woman screamed, hugging Sakura tightly.
I jumped lightly from the tree as to not make a sound. "Maybe another time, Sakura. Maybe as to when we aren't disturbed. I'll come back for you..."
- -
I turned my head towards the sound I had just heard. It sounded like someone was talking to me, but not directly. Saying something about 'coming back for me'.
"Sakura? You okay?" I turned towards Tomoyo and smiled a fake smile, nodding my head 'no'. Nothing was wrong...just another hallucination maybe...but that voice...it was familiar somehow...
I sighed defeated and walked in with the rest of the group. "Maybe another time."
- -
