You Brought Me Back
By: Witch Hunter Sakura/ Sakkie!
Chapter 10: Captured
- - (Sakura's POV)
Did he really mean what he said? I kept on wondering this as Tomoyo fixed my dress.
"You shouldn't worry so much. He confessed to you...and you're just going to break his heart?" Tomoyo asked looking me in the eye.
"I-I don't know... I don't think he should go behind Ladriel's back," I said sadly.
"But Sakura! Everyone knows that Ladriel is a bitch! Stop thinking about others and for yourself!" Tomoyo yelled, louder than she ever did before.
I looked at her shocked. "You've never yelled at me like that before..." I said quietly, tears welling up in my eyes.
"I'm sorry, Sakura, but I think you are making a big mistake," Tomoyo ended, pulling a stray thread from the hem. "There. I'm done. You look magnificent Sakura."
"What about you? You shouldn't be worrying about me so much... Let's get you dressed," I said softly.
"Sakura...you're hopeless..." Tomoyo mumbled, running her hand over my dress. She sighed and walked into the bathroom, where she changed into her ball gown. She walked out in a lavender spaghetti strap gown that reached to her ankles. She had put on lavender slippers, a large amethyst-stoned necklace, and lavender earrings to complete the outfit.
"Tomoyo, you look great and..." I bit my bottom lip to keep myself from crying, "I'm sorry."
"Sakura...I just don't want you to get hurt...or Syaoran. He's a nice man and has done so much for you. I just don't want to see him hurt because...Sakura because you're his first love, and it'll really hurt him if you reject him and steer him towards his enemy, Ladriel."
"I know..." I said quietly. "I just..."
"Sakura...just follow you're heart okay?" Tomoyo asked. I nodded, smiling.
Oh, Syaoran, you don't know how much I love you... I just don't want to see someone in pain...for I've seen it way too much, and it hurts.
- - Hours Later (Eriol's POV)
"Eriol! You're looking spiffy! Something going on today?" The doctor asked, handing a patient their medicine. He was sweating profusely, but then again it was hot...so I didn't pay any mind.
"Yeah, my mom's birthday is today and she's having a huge birthday ball...and..." I said, lowering my head. I could feel my face heat up as I mumbled the last part hoping he would hear.
"What? Gotta speak up, lad." The doctor ran his finger inside his ear and wiggled.
"I'm proposing," I said softly.
"What?" he asked smiling evilly.
"I'm pro...pos...ing," I said louder.
"WHAT?" another evil smirk.
"I'M PRO...POS...ING!"
He laughed, coughing slightly. "Ah...who's the lucky girl? Oh wait was she that lovely gray-haired girl you came in with not too long ago?" I nodded. Tomoyo all right.
"SO...where's the medicine and did you find anything out?"
"YES! I did. One of the bottles is a stimulant to increase blood flow. There was nothing wrong with that one. But the other was actually a mixture of a depressant and another stimulant complex. The stimulant in this solution contained several drugs that activate and deactivate the vocal cords of the human body. Did you're friend ever take the second solution on your trip?"
"No, her doctor forgot, why?" I said, remembering how Syaoran kept blaming himself because he forgot to give her her medicines.
"Because...and THANK God. The stimulant complex plus depressant solution was fatal, one injection and your friend would've died."
I gasped. Those son of a bit—
"I found an antidotal complex, deactivating the stimulant depressant complex, too."
"Thanks doc. I owe ya one. You just saved my girlfriend's best friend." I waved the doctor goodbye and left the clinic. The doctor waved weakly, muttering an apology before falling over.
- - (Syaoran's POV)
URGH! I REALLY HATE SAKURA RIGHT NOW!
Why did she have to say that?
'You can't love me!'
Well, why the hell not?! I can love anyone if I choose to.
"Syaoran-POO! Where are you?" Ladriel asked. I quickly slid under my bed and watched as she entered then exited my room... RELIEF! I must say. That girl has been bugging me non-stop for the last couple of hours.
She was scary today. She was walking through the halls of the mansion in her underwear, having servants answer to her every call. She can't act like that! She doesn't even live here!
I sighed. My mother was announcing our engagement today. Great! I'd have to spend the last waking moments of my life with Senora Psychopath. I sat warily on my bed. Why can't it be just easier? I asked myself. Why can't I choose my own wife? It'd be hell of a lot easier than marrying that woman...I shuddered.
"SYAORAN!" I thought of hiding, but I wasn't fast enough. Eriol barged through the door, panting and sweating in his tailored black suit. "Guess what I found out?"
"You're gonna tell me even though I don't want to listen...shoot."
"Sakura's been fine ever since the accident happened." I looked up. "Someone's tampered with her medicines, and it was VERY good thing you didn't give them to her. In the hospital someone actually prescribed another bottle of liquid for Sakura to take without the real doctor's permission. And for this trip, they mixed the solutions together so Sakura could still take the medicine without anyone knowing."
"I thought so..." I mumbled.
"The medicines when taken together are FATAL. Sakura could've died if you gave them to her. Oh and another thing, the prescription that was prescribed to her without consent was actually a medicine used to take people's voices away for a small period of time, but when taken day by day, the medicine damages the vocal cords making the person unable to talk. So Sakura's illness was set up."
"I thought so...especially when she began to speak without the uses of her medicine."
There was a knock at the door. A man opened the door and told Eriol and I, "Mistress Hiragizawa requests everyone's presence for the ceremony. Now."
"We'll be there in a minute," Eriol told him. The man bowed and ventured down the hall.
- - (Creepy Man's POV)
"They know," I said. I was in front of my master, the one who's wanted this Sakura girl.
"Know that her medicine is fake and is responsible for taking her voice away?" he asked in his deep voice.
"Yes, my lord. I heard you attacked the neighborhood clinic, the one Hiragizawa gave the medicines to, last night."
"Yes, we got the medicines and made sure the doctor didn't tell Hiragizawa a thing. That bullet in his gut did well... Though, I'm surprised he's still walking." He chuckled and turned his chair around to face me. "That ball's tonight...is everything set up?" I nodded. "Good...you're dismissed."
- - (Sakura's POV)
"Tomoyo!" I giggled. "Stop running so fast!" I laughed. Tomoyo was telling me stories of her and Eriol, ones that probably once supposed to be told to me. But still, it got me in a good mood, enough for me to forget about Syaoran...
"Tomoyo! Stop!" I giggled.
"We're late!" she laughed. "She's gonna kill us!"
We burst through the door just as everyone stood up to applaud. Everyone stared at us and Mrs. Hiragizawa sighed, letting out a small giggle.
"Nice of you to join us..." roared over the intercoms. A flush of embarrassment appeared on my face. Tomoyo just giggled. "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is my son's girlfriend, Tomoyo, and her cousin, Sakura." Everything resumed to order as Eriol and Syaoran broke through the crowd heading straight for us.
"So...why were you two late?" I looked at Eriol and burst out laughing. "Oh, I'm offended. I'm not that ugly..."
"No...it's not...that," I said in between laughs. "Me and Tomoyo were talking...that's all..." I giggled.
"Tomoyo, about what?" Eriol asked slowly.
"Well, Eriol...Sakura was so depressed that I need to lighten her mood so I—"
"You didn't..."
"If it's the same thing as I'm about to say, then yes. Though, she is happier...and I don't think she'll look at you the same way." Tomoyo giggled as Eriol turned to me.
"Don't listen to anything she says...please for the sake of your mind...don't." I nodded, still giggling.
"Well...since you two were late..." Tomoyo and I turned towards Syaoran scowling, as he snickered. "Eriol gets to make an announcement at about 8:00. Tomoyo you can hit if you want..."
"What's he talking about Eriol?" Tomoyo asked suspiciously, her giggles dying away.
"It's a surprise...and don't worry it's a good surprise."
"Okay..." Tomoyo and Eriol left to the dance floor as a slow song came on. I turned around and walked outside into the gardens.
I sighed. This was boring...really boring.
"How come you're not having a good time?" Syaoran asked. I guessed her must've followed me without my knowledge.
"I'm just...not," I replied softly. I walked to the balcony and over looked the lower gardens. Syaoran did the same, leaning his body on his arms next to me.
"Care to talk?"
"I don't know..." I rested my head on my arms and gazed out at the moon... It was such a beautiful night. "Tomoyo and Eriol are having such a grand time and here I am moping..."
"Moping...?" Syaoran asked looking at me questioningly.
"I just keep wondering about what you said," I said softly. "No ones ever said that to me before... I was just wondering what would happen if I told you the truth instead of pushing you away." A lone tear came out of my eye and slid remorsefully down my cheek.
"So what you told me was a lie...about what you said when you couldn't love me?" he asked hopefully.
I nodded. "I just don't want to see someone hurt...but I talked to Tomoyo and she told me some things then I realized she was right. I was hurting you more than anything. She told me that I was your first love, and if I didn't tell you the truth and rejected you, it'd be heartbreaking for you and hurt you. And...I don't want that to happen," I ended, another tear falling, but this time it was wiped away. I looked towards Syaoran and smiled sadly.
- - (Ladriel's POV)
I walked outside looking for Syaoran-poo. We were confirming the engagement in ten minutes... I sighed. The engagement...too bad it's kinda going to waste though. Syaoran is a one-of-a-kind type of guy. He's so hot and he's so fucking rich. I shuddered. If everything went okay, I would be walking out with a shit load of money.
You see, I work for this extremely cute man, but what stinks...I don't know what his name is. He's out for this Sakura girl; I supposed it was Syaoran's client. The master wants her so bad for some stupid reason and my job is to get rid of Syaoran. Easy enough. My family is rich as hell and I'm a sexy bitch. Yelan was running right into my fingers when she said 'yes' to our engagement. But I have to admit...I wasn't going to kill him as master wanted. After so many months of being together, I'm finding myself falling for him and now, I want him. As a mate and as a husband.
Ten minutes...
I ventured around the corner only to find Sakura and Syaoran leaning against the balcony railing talking. Sakura seemed to be crying or at least starting since salt stains were left on her cheeks. Good...if Syaoran's hurting her then she won't want to be around him.
I ducked in behind the trees and listened to their conversation.
"I just keep wondering about what you said. No ones ever said that to me before... I was just wondering what would happen if I told you the truth instead of pushing you away," Sakura said, moving slightly. I could see a tear running down her face.
"So what you told me was a lie...about what you said when you couldn't love me?" he asked hopefully. He what??!!?! I found myself getting real pissed at what he said. Did she confess to him?
Calm down, I told myself. You shouldn't be obsessing over him anyway. But...Syaoran's mine!
Sakura nodded. "I just don't want to see someone hurt...but I talked to Tomoyo and she told me some things then I realized she was right. I was hurting you more than anything. She told me that I was your first love, and if I didn't tell you the truth and rejected you, it'd be heartbreaking for you and hurt you. And...I don't want that to happen," she ended, another tear falling from her eye. This time, Syaoran wiped it away.
SYAORAN!! I'm your FIANCÉE! You're supposed to like ME!
"My feelings won't change for you just because you're pushing my towards Ladriel." My heart broke. But why would it break? I couldn't have fallen in love with I?
- - (Sakura's POV)
He couldn't really mean that? Could he? I mean...I'm just another patient of his...he CAN'T love me... It'll hurt too much...
"Sakura." I looked up from the ground, though, I didn't remember looking there. "Sakura, look at me." I did and met with those warm amber eyes I came to adore. "Stop worrying about others. Be selfish and stop pushing me away..." he said softly.
"But..." I was cut off by another kiss. This one was different and I didn't push it away. In fact, I welcomed it...with open arms.
- - (Ladriel's POV)
Oh my FUCKING GOD! How COULD she?! Doesn't she have any RESPECT!?!
'You don't have any...' a little voice said softly.
Yeah whatever, I'm different. Get your fucking lips off his fucking mouth right now you whore!
They broke and looked around. Oh I hope I didn't say that out loud. I closed my mouth and stared at them as they returned to looking at the scenery over the balcony.
Then a plan ran through my head.
Oh, Kinomoto bitch, your days are over!
- - (Sakura's POV)
We stayed silent for sometime. I was thinking about that kiss. It held so much in it. Love, passion. I couldn't kid myself anymore. I did love him or his kisses wouldn't faze me.
I turned to him. "Syaoran?" I asked quietly. He turned towards me and stared at me through foggy eyes.
"Yes?"
"I-I...I'm sorry, but...I-I can't deny my heart. I've listened to what you and Tomoyo have told me and I think I should tell you the truth.
I lo—" But I was cut off.
"DIE, KINOMOTO BITCH!" Ladriel and her two brothers came out of the trees with a large log in their arms. They were charging at the both of us. Syaoran ducked out of instinct, but I was too late, and before I knew it, I was thrust off the balcony.
I didn't scream. And I knew why. "SAKURA!!" Syaoran yelled above me. I hugged my arms close to me chest and let my body flip around so I would land stomach down.
I threw off my arms and landed on the ground without a scratch. OH YEAH! Good thing I remembered something from my past!
"YOU BITCH, HOW IN THE HELL WERE YOU ABLE TO DO THAT?!" Ladriel screamed from the balcony. She, her two brothers, and Syaoran were staring at me; though, Syaoran was the only one who looked worried.
"I LEARNED HOW TO DO IT, ASS WIPE!"
- - (Syaoran's POV)
I had never seen Sakura act like that. It was different, but it was funny. A little spite and pride never hurt anybody, right?
"OH YOU, FUCKING WHORE!" Ladriel screamed beside me. I knew a catfight was coming.
Then, out of the corner of my eye I could see hordes of black dots at the base of the mountain right next to the mansion and Ladriel's smirk of victory. Then I realized it.
"SAKURA!" I yelled. "LOOK OUT!"
She turned and stared unbelievably at the massive count of dark-dressed people coming after her.
"OH YOU BITCH," she screamed before she was surrounded.
- - (Sakura's POV)
I watch as they surrounded me.
Great...I told myself. I hope this doesn't turn out bad...
"Sakura." The group scattered away from me as if in fright. "Nice of you to join us."
"Us...or you?" I knew who this was. That voice...I couldn't be mistaken. It was he. All of a sudden, memories flooded back to when I lost my family. The way his goonies trashed our house, the way he took away my family, the way he treated me, the way he treated others...
"Oh, so I see you remember me?" he smirked.
"Who couldn't, you sick fuck?" I sneered. This man was responsible for so many deaths, yet none of them were ever reported. "I have a question, bastard. How come none of those deaths you caused ever get reported?"
He gave a loud cackle. "I am superior."
"THAT does not answer the question!" I screamed. "HOW COME MY FAMILY WASN'T GIVEN A PROPER BURIAL? HOW COME NO ONE KNEW THEY DIED UNLESS THEY VISITED THE KINOMOTO HOME? HOW COME?" I yelled, hysterically. Tears were streaming like rivers down my cheeks. A sick feeling enveloped my stomach as I remembered my family's death.
He gave another cackle. "Everyone was too scared, Sakura."
"Don't use my name," I seethed.
"The police cowered in fear. The FBI and CIA officials didn't dare go near me. I had the world in my hands. Then YOUR family decided to be all big bad and tough. Now look where it's gotten them... THEY'RE DEAD BECAUSE THEY DECIDED TO MEDDLE IN SOMEONE ELSE'S BUSINESS!"
"That's not the only reason. I can tell by your movements...you want something...a desire." He looked toward me angrily and walked up to me.
I didn't cower as he placed his head along mine, whispering something in my ear. "You're right, Sakura. I want you." And the last thing I knew I plunged into darkness.
- - END!
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! Don't worry that's not the end of the story! It's a CLIFFY! Just great right before the move...
Hmmm...Sakura a cusser? POTTY MOUTH! The only reason she's like that is because she remembered her family and that left her with a lot of pain and anger...GO SAKURA! WHOOP HER ASS!
AND I'M SO SORRY! THIS WASN'T SUPPOSED TO GO UP, BUT I READ SOME OF THE REVIEWS AND SO MANY PEOPLE WANTED ME TO UPDATE SAYING HOW MUCH THEY LOVED MY STORY! So that's what made me update...
BE HAPPY BECAUSE MY MOM IS GOING TO SKIN ME BECAUSE I HAVEN'T PACKED MY COMPUTER!
Let's see Eriol and Tomoyo's big moment before they find out Sakura's been taken into the EVIL clutches of the creepy man! sarcam HEHEHE! That's coming up next!
Okie...so now we can all say 'KILL LADRIEL!' right? everyone cheers YEP!
So let's see...POLL!
A: Kill Ladriel? B: Keep her alive and have her succeed in having Syaoran? C: Keep her alive and have a change of heart in her?
You pick...do you want the EVIL girl to die? Your choice! Sayonara for the next week...!
Sakkie!
Sakura-star69: Don't you just hate it when people RUIN THE MOMENT? I do...especially if it's SS...they're so cute together...=) Ladriel is a meanie...though I gave her one cool name! XD...here's the chappie...everyone's been waiting for...after 2 weeks...he he he...

Syaoran is a one-of-a-kind type of guy. He's so hot and he's so fucking rich. I shuddered. If everything went okay, I would be walking out with a shit load of money.
You see, I work for this extremely cute man, but what stinks...I don't know what his name is. He's out for this Sakura girl; I supposed it was Syaoran's client. The master wants her so bad for some stupid reason and my job is to get rid of Syaoran. Easy enough. My family is rich as hell and I'm a sexy bitch. Yelan was running right into my fingers when she said 'yes' to our engagement. But I have to admit...I wasn't going to kill him as master wanted. After so many months of being together, I'm finding myself falling for him and now, I want him. As a mate and as a husband.
Ten minutes...
I ventured around the corner only to find Sakura and Syaoran leaning against the balcony railing talking. Sakura seemed to be crying or at least starting since salt stains were left on her cheeks. Good...if Syaoran's hurting her then she won't want to be around him.
I ducked in behind the trees and listened to their conversation.
"I just keep wondering about what you said. No ones ever said that to me before... I was just wondering what would happen if I told you the truth instead of pushing you away," Sakura said, moving slightly. I could see a tear running down her face.
"So what you told me was a lie...about what you said when you couldn't love me?" he asked hopefully. He what??!!?! I found myself getting real pissed at what he said. Did she confess to him?
Calm down, I told myself. You shouldn't be obsessing over him anyway. But...Syaoran's mine!
Sakura nodded. "I just don't want to see someone hurt...but I talked to Tomoyo and she told me some things then I realized she was right. I was hurting you more than anything. She told me that I was your first love, and if I didn't tell you the truth and rejected you, it'd be heartbreaking for you and hurt you. And...I don't want that to happen," she ended, another tear falling from her eye. This time, Syaoran wiped it away.
SYAORAN!! I'm your FIANCÉE! You're supposed to like ME!
"My feelings won't change for you just because you're pushing my towards Ladriel." My heart broke. But why would it break? I couldn't have fallen in love with I?
- - (Sakura's POV)
He couldn't really mean that? Could he? I mean...I'm just another patient of his...he CAN'T love me... It'll hurt too much...
"Sakura." I looked up from the ground, though, I didn't remember looking there. "Sakura, look at me." I did and met with those warm amber eyes I came to adore. "Stop worrying about others. Be selfish and stop pushing me away..." he said softly.
"But..." I was cut off by another kiss. This one was different and I didn't push it away. In fact, I welcomed it...with open arms.
- - (Ladriel's POV)
Oh my FUCKING GOD! How COULD she?! Doesn't she have any RESPECT!?!
'You don't have any...' a little voice said softly.
Yeah whatever, I'm different. Get your fucking lips off his fucking mouth right now you whore!
They broke and looked around. Oh I hope I didn't say that out loud. I closed my mouth and stared at them as they returned to looking at the scenery over the balcony.
Then a plan ran through my head.
Oh, Kinomoto bitch, your days are over!
- - (Sakura's POV)
We stayed silent for sometime. I was thinking about that kiss. It held so much in it. Love, passion. I couldn't kid myself anymore. I did love him or his kisses wouldn't faze me.
I turned to him. "Syaoran?" I asked quietly. He turned towards me and stared at me through foggy eyes.
"Yes?"
"I-I...I'm sorry, but...I-I can't deny my heart. I've listened to what you and Tomoyo have told me and I think I should tell you the truth.
I lo—" But I was cut off.
"DIE, KINOMOTO BITCH!" Ladriel and her two brothers came out of the trees with a large log in their arms. They were charging at the both of us. Syaoran ducked out of instinct, but I was too late, and before I knew it, I was thrust off the balcony.
I didn't scream. And I knew why. "SAKURA!!" Syaoran yelled above me. I hugged my arms close to me chest and let my body flip around so I would land stomach down.
I threw off my arms and landed on the ground without a scratch. OH YEAH! Good thing I remembered something from my past!
"YOU BITCH, HOW IN THE HELL WERE YOU ABLE TO DO THAT?!" Ladriel screamed from the balcony. She, her two brothers, and Syaoran were staring at me; though, Syaoran was the only one who looked worried.
"I LEARNED HOW TO DO IT, ASS WIPE!"
- - (Syaoran's POV)
I had never seen Sakura act like that. It was different, but it was funny. A little spite and pride never hurt anybody, right?
"OH YOU, FUCKING WHORE!" Ladriel screamed beside me. I knew a catfight was coming.
Then, out of the corner of my eye I could see hordes of black dots at the base of the mountain right next to the mansion and Ladriel's smirk of victory. Then I realized it.
"SAKURA!" I yelled. "LOOK OUT!"
She turned and stared unbelievably at the massive count of dark-dressed people coming after her.
"OH YOU BITCH," she screamed before she was surrounded.
- - (Sakura's POV)
I watch as they surrounded me.
Great...I told myself. I hope this doesn't turn out bad...
"Sakura." The group scattered away from me as if in fright. "Nice of you to join us."
"Us...or you?" I knew who this was. That voice...I couldn't be mistaken. It was he. All of a sudden, memories flooded back to when I lost my family. The way his goonies trashed our house, the way he took away my family, the way he treated me, the way he treated others...
"Oh, so I see you remember me?" he smirked.
"Who couldn't, you sick fuck?" I sneered. This man was responsible for so many deaths, yet none of them were ever reported. "I have a question, bastard. How come none of those deaths you caused ever get reported?"
He gave a loud cackle. "I am superior."
"THAT does not answer the question!" I screamed. "HOW COME MY FAMILY WASN'T GIVEN A PROPER BURIAL? HOW COME NO ONE KNEW THEY DIED UNLESS THEY VISITED THE KINOMOTO HOME? HOW COME?" I yelled, hysterically. Tears were streaming like rivers down my cheeks. A sick feeling enveloped my stomach as I remembered my family's death.
He gave another cackle. "Everyone was too scared, Sakura."
"Don't use my name," I seethed.
"The police cowered in fear. The FBI and CIA officials didn't dare go near me. I had the world in my hands. Then YOUR family decided to be all big bad and tough. Now look where it's gotten them... THEY'RE DEAD BECAUSE THEY DECIDED TO MEDDLE IN SOMEONE ELSE'S BUSINESS!"
"That's not the only reason. I can tell by your movements...you want something...a desire." He looked toward me angrily and walked up to me.
I didn't cower as he placed his head along mine, whispering something in my ear. "You're right, Sakura. I want you." And the last thing I knew I plunged into darkness.
- - END!
