You Brought Me Back
By: Witch Hunter Sakura
Chapter 11: Pasts and Futures Unveiled
- - (Tomoyo's POV)
I watched as Sakura and Syaoran exited the ballroom... I just hoped she would be all right. Eriol pulled on my hand.
"Hey...I'm going to go on stage all right?" I wasn't really listening to him...I guessed I was too worried about Sakura.
"Uhh huh," I said, nodding. I walked over to the door and peered outside as Sakura and Syaoran talked. They looked so cute together. I just wish me and Eriol could be like that...
I heard a bounding voice come out of the speakers above me and then a sudden cheering from the audience. A large white spotlight gazed upon my back. Someone suddenly grabbed my hand, pulling me away from my spying.
I turned around to yell at whoever was holding my hand. Then I noticed the spotlight and the person holding my hand.
"Eriol?" I squeaked. "Why are we in the spotlight." He never answered but pulled me onstage.
"Everyone, this is Tomoyo." The crowd cheered.
"Uhh...Eriol? Why are they cheering?" I asked.
He continued. "I wanted to do so much more than wishing my mother happy birthday today, which mom, happy birthday!" Eriol's mother smiled, as everyone screamed 'Happy Birthday'. "I also wanted to tell my love how much I love her." Eriol turned to me. "Which I intend to do." Everyone suddenly went quiet. "Tomoyo, if it wasn't for my mother, I would have never met you, that's why I wanted to do this here." He paused. "Tomoyo, would you marry me?"
It took me a moment before I realized what he was saying. "Oh, Eriol! Yes! I will!" I wrapped my arms around his neck as he butterfly kissed my neck and face. "Oh, Eriol! I love you!"
"I love you, too, Tomoyo." The audience chorused an awed expression.
Eriol's mother stood up and walked to the couple. "I'm happy for you two," she said to us. She then turned to the audience who were waiting patiently for what Marie had to say. "Now, I think that these two should share their first dance as a present for their engagement!" she continued loudly. The audience cheered and made a nice line between the end of the stage stairs and the center of the room.
"Come, my love?" Eriol asked sweetly. I nodded, letting him take hold of my hand and lead me to the center of the room, where we shared a dance to the beat of a familiar love song.
When the song ended, Eriol stared at me lovingly then pulled me into a warm kiss to which everyone 'awed.' I giggled under his lips, pulling him into another kiss.
All of a sudden, the door slammed open and a very irritated Syaoran walked in. The music shut off and the couples stopped dancing. Everyone looked at him.
"Sakura's been taken, and they are to blame," Syaoran said deathly. He thrust three bodies into the room. Eriol looked at him angrily. I guess this engagement meant a lot to him...
"Oh...wow..." Eriol said sarcastically. "It's Ladriel. Finally got rid of her?"
"Ha ha," he said dryly. "This bitch pushed Sakura over the balcony and nearly killed her if it wasn't for her martial arts skills."
"So Syaoran, taking a keen interest in Sakura now?" Eriol asked.
"Shut up! She was just kidnapped by that man, the one she was afraid of!" he yelled. I gasped, my hand covering my mouth. Eriol stood in front of me with his eyes nearly bulging from his sockets. "Come ON! They couldn't have gone far!" Syaoran raced out of the room as Eriol and I followed.
There was no one on the balcony except for Syaoran, who was looking over, fear in his eyes. "They're gone," he said softly. "And she's gone, too." I ran up to him and put a hand on his shoulder.
"We'll find her," I said soothingly as tears sprung to my eyes. It was happening all over again. "We'll...find...her," I continued in sobs. Eriol came up behind me and laid his head on my back.
"We'll find her..."
- - (Sakura's POV)
I slowly opened my eyes, letting my blurry vision fade into a sharper one. I soon saw dark, moldy stone and rusty, black chains lining the around under my feet. The dress Tomoyo made me was ripped in several places and cut jaggedly right above the knees, the pink jacket covered with dirt and grime.
But most of all...
I was lightly hanging, bruised and hurt, pulled tight against the cold wall, my feet barely connecting to the floor with shackles encasing my wrists and ankles. What? How did I—? Then images suddenly came back to me: me and Syaoran talking, Ladriel, and then my mysterious capture. How did that guy do that anyway?
I didn't know how long it was I had been in there. My stomach suddenly wrenched giving me an idea that I had been there long.
"You've awaken," a familiar voice spoke from the darkness. I lifted my head, frantically searching for the owner of the voice. "I've been waiting for the longest time." The voice was louder now.
I stared in front of me as an image appeared from the darkness. I blinked my eyes trying to focus my eyes, but all I saw was a faint outline and large blue and yellow blotches in the middle of my vision.
"You don't need to see me to know who I am," the voice said matter-of-factly.
"I know who you are, you sick pervert. I can't see you and THANK god for that. I didn't want to see your face when I woke up anyway." All of a sudden I felt someone's body press against mine.
"Don't say that, love. You love me, you just deny it." He licked me on my lips and traced his tongue out to my right ear. I shook my head getting his disgusting body part off me, too bad it wasn't the whole body.
"I love you huh? Keep thinking that, I'm sure you'll get me faster," I said sarcastically. He placed his hands on my hips and started to rub in small circles. "I know you love my feel..." My dress started to inch up as his hands got lower and lower. I growled angrily.
"What the hell are you doing?! Get off me!" He stepped back, his warm body retreating. Anger flashed in his eyes and he slapped me, his fingernails ripping precariously into my skin. Blood flowed freely from the small wound earning an evil smirk from the man in front of me.
"You forget...I hold your life in my hands. I could touch you, hurt you, or," he laughed, "take your virginity and there is nothing you can do about it." He smiled darkly and backed away till he had exited the room. I growled inwardly and sighed.
Someone...please hurry up and save me...
- - (Syaoran's POV)
We had searched through everything! There was nothing on this guy. It was even worse because every five seconds either Tomoyo or Eriol would sigh and blame themselves as they searched heatedly through old newspapers hoping to find earlier victims or whatnot...
...but no luck...
"Gosh, it's all our fault. If I had—"Tomoyo started, but I cut her off.
"If you say it was your fault one more time, I'll scream! And I don't scream, so shut up all ready!" I said annoyed. She looked down another set of tears washing over her face.
"Eriol!" she wailed. "It's bad karma! If you had been nicer about him wrecking over engagement dance—"I cut her off again.
"You proposed?" I asked Eriol laughing slightly. Who would've thought...
"Unlike you, yes." My face heated up a little... I've already told Sakura I love her...she just has to return a better answer...
"Wow...took you long enough..."
All of a sudden, my computer beeped consistently, a new page forming on the screen. I turned towards it and my face lit up when I recognized the title. Missing list...perfect.
"It's the missing person's list...but Sakura's not on it..." Eriol said peering over my shoulder.
"But that can't be right! Sakura's family is the most influential! Someone should have wondered if she had suddenly gone missing!" Tomoyo yelled, earning a look from all those around her. "How can that be?"
"Maybe the police know something?" Eriol suggested. Tomoyo and I looked at each other then we both stared at Eriol.
"Uh...okay..."
"No one speaks of that incident here. It brings bad luck," an officer whispered. "We were threatened right before it happened...but I know Sakura, and she's a nice girl. People like her shouldn't have to stay with that freak." The man covered his mouth and looked around hesitantly as if someone was watching him. "He's a sick man...I just hope she doesn't get hurt like the others."
"Others? And...what happens?" Eriol asked slowly.
"Any influential family is cursed whenever he's near. He usually takes the most beautiful woman in the household and puts them up for ransom. Sometimes...he doesn't get his money, and bad things happen. Sometimes he tortures the girls in weird ways. He'll deflower them then move onto other horrifying things," the officer beside Syaoran muttered softly. The group of five-or-so officers stared at each other and sighed heavily.
"If Sakura has been with him a long time... Let me just tell you, don't expect her be to the same after her experience," another added in.
"What happened when you first met him here in the station house?" Tomoyo asked with a finger resting on her chin.
"He came in walking slowly up to...uhhh Jay!" the chief whispered loudly. A balding man looked towards him. "'Member that fellow who came in five years ago? That crazy fellow?"
"Yeh. He walked up to me-I was a secretary officer at the time-and asked me some questions about the Kinomoto's and where they lived...said something about knowing them. I told him that they lived in the biggest house down Cherry Street and something about little fifteen-year-old Sakura playing happily in the front yard all the time. He turned around...then suddenly..."
"He whipped around, pulling a gun to Jay's head here," another officer filled in. "Kept demanding to see a picture of Sakura and asking if she was beautiful. Well Jay, here, panicked and showed him several pictures of her saying she the most beautiful creature he'd even seen."
"The man threatened for us not to tell anyone that he was interested in Sakura. Why...we didn't know till we found the mayor's daughter duct-taped to our front window. He wants to deflower heiresses to gain their fortunes when they're family dies off. We knew that he was behind something...he can't gain anything till the family dies off...we had a hunch that he was going to kill the family therefore inheriting the fortune. He's had to marry everyone separately...and what's weird we can't find any of the marriage documents... Then we realized that they were fakes. He wanted money and lively sex...the sick bastard."
"We had thought we could stop him once...but he killed over three-quarters of our attack force...so we kept our mouths shut."
"And so you let innocent women get hurt?" Syaoran asked heatedly.
"Better than hundreds!" the chief roared. "One woman isn't gonna matter but it's for the lives of hundreds. I'm sorry that it has to be Miss Kinomoto, though." The chief backed into his office and the pack of officers dissipated into their posts.
"But...it's Sakura..." Tomoyo mumbled.
"And I won't lose her this early...not when I can save her..." Syaoran ended, his fist clenching. They left the police station with heavy hearts.
