You Brought Me Back

By: Witch Hunter Sakura

Chapter 13: Ladriel's Sad, Short Confession

- - (Sakura's POV)

A sudden chill ran up my back. I stared around me at the horrifically playful shadows on the walls. On the nightstand next to me, was a small, nearly burnt out candle, its flame seemingly dancing. I shivered.

The room was so cold.

Dinner wasn't given to me as said by Megan. In fact, I wasn't even able to change from the dress when I was thrown in here. It had been several hours, for sure, since Megan and I was separated. It was weird. I barely knew the girl, but it was as if it was my responsibility to save her. I pulled knees up into my chest for warmth and hugged them tightly. It was going to be a long, horrible night...

I could tell.

- - (Megan's POV)

I screamed. I couldn't help myself. It was unconscious.

"Tell me your actions. Now." It was my father. I was lying underneath him, physically, mentally, and emotionally hurting. I was his daughter...and he was doing this to me. I stared at him through my tear-stained eyes. How could he?

"Your silence is waning my patience." He forced harder into me and I screamed once again. He continued harder. "How does that feel for your first time? Horrifying, I bet."

I tried one last time to push him off of me, but I was too small to make a difference. Thoughts whirled around and around in my head, making my head feel ultimately heavy. My eyes began to hurt along with a splitting headache that suddenly ruptured within my head. I screamed bloody murder before I fainted into a demanding reverie.

- - (Sakura's POV)

Scream!

I lifted my head slowly from my knees and looked towards the door. A scream...a blood curdling scream. One name immediately went through my head:

Megan.

I shot up from the bed and raced over to the door, preparing to knock it down with my fists. My first punch delivered a small indent into the door and splintered my knuckles. Soon the door was overcome with pounds from my two fists. This was my choice to save her. I have to watch over her. I have to save her no matter what happens.

After ten seconds of raining punches, the door opened creakily lightly bouncing off the concrete wall.

There was no one in the hallway when I stepped out, though figures of armor scared me enough. I inched my way down the hall where I heard the voice. She had to be down here...

At the end of the hallway, a door was ajar, a sliver of light illumining the hallway. I stepped lightly up to it, peering inside.

The first thing that caught my eye was the couple on the bed. I recognized the girl, for it was Megan. She was in pain severely. Anyone could tell. Blood and sweat stained the sheets around her semiconscious body. The man on top of her, though, was still hurting her. He was raping her. No doubt was he also my captor, the one who also planned to deflower me then dispose of me.

His naked adult body thrust up and in her several times, an evil, playful look on his face. An expression of anguish washed over Megan's face as he continued on, playing with her sexually. He rubbed around her womanhood, licking it maliciously.

I looked away...I couldn't watch...but I had to do something. I turned my head back around, looking back at the rape scene in front of me.

He cupped her breasts in evil desire and nibbled at them, pinching them. Megan's eyes snapped open then, and for a moment she was staring at me. Her eyes showed so much sorrow, I just couldn't hold back. I pushed open the door and knocked her father off of her.

"Are you okay?!" I shrieked. I stared at her bruised body, blood oozing from her privates. "I'm so sorry I didn't come earlier..." I whispered, hugging the small girl in my arms.

"I'll be okay...though I didn't want my virginity to be taken like this..." and with that said, Megan lost consciousness.

"Megan?" I sighed, laying her back on the bed. I stared near the window where I forced her father...

...but he wasn't there. Chills ran up and down my spine as I searched around.

"Looking for me?" a low, hoarse voice said behind me. Before I could react, a swift impact to the side of my neck sent me reeling into unconsciousness.

- - (Syaoran's POV)

Home...home... it's so weird to be home again.

"Little brother! You're home!" a young woman squealed from across the living room. That young woman was my youngest sister...though she was still older that me by two years. A gleeful expression washed over her pale features as she sprinted towards me, her dark auburn hair flailing behind her. Her amber colored eyes were happy and playful, a smaller image of me in the center. She glomped me. "OH! I haven't seen you since you were seventeen! Look at you now! Twenty-three and so tall and mighty handsome! So do you have a girlfriend yet? Is she pretty? Are you married?"

"Fanren...shut up. And no...I don't...have...a girlfriend," I continued somberly, remembering the reason for coming home. I sighed heavily and Fanren slowly let go of me.

"Did...something...happen to her?" she asked fearfully.

"She's been kidnapped by a serial killer because she's one of the richest heiresses in the world. That was the reason I came back. Have the neighbors come home recently?"

"I saw a van come up a couple of days ago...a cargo van." I hugged my sister happily and rushed outside only to be met with a special Jeep and two unfortunate passengers.

"I thought you two were going to stay at the hotel and do research..." I said slowly, approaching the vehicle.

"Eh...we were but after what you said of Ladriel and those girls...we decided to be by your side. Great, huh? And we'll all get to save Sakura!" I climbed in the jeep next to Eriol and starting the vehicle, accelerating it before anyone could say or mumble a word.

This was one reason why I did not like having such a big yard. Even with a car, it was a good fifteen minutes to the border. You see, I'm going to do a sneak attack. I'm going to drive the jeep about half a mile from the house, then advance my way in on foot.

When Ladriel surprised me with her 'Sisters from Hell' act, there was a bigger reason for me to work my way in. I hacked into the main house mainframe and found all the codes to the security systems and a blueprint of the entire house.

I was ready to save Sakura...

"SYAORAN! YOU'RE GOING TO RAM INTO THAT TREE!" Tomoyo screamed from the back. I snapped from my daydream and swerved quickly to the left. "Watch WHERE you are going, mister. I'm still young! I need to live and NOT die early..." She sat back into the seat and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Eriol sighed heavily, turning towards me.

"Do you have any idea on how you are going to even get into that house?" I nodded, smirking. We'll be in and out of there in no time.

- - (Sakura's POV)

"Wake up," a cold voice sneered at me. I opened my heavy eyelids and stared at the man through blurred vision.

"Where...am I?" I asked slowly.

"Same place as you were a couple minutes ago...NOW let's get moving." I jumped at his voice and slid off the bed using it for supports. The man helped me up and pulled me harshly out of the door and down the hall. Where was he taking me...only he would know...

We abruptly stopped making me run into him slightly. "Watch where you're going, wretch!" A large creaking sound sounded in the distance and reverberating footsteps overtook my senses.

"Who's coming?" I asked scared.

"No one in particular..." he answered smirking. I looked at him then at the approaching figure...

Oh please don't let it be...

- - (Creepy man's POV)

I stared at the floor as my master walked around the five of us. The Sisters were summoned once again by my master to dispose of another person.

"Heero...I want you and The Sisters to greet our guests. It seems as if they've found our hiding spot." I looked up to see a small camera screen right in front of my face. On it was a jeep with two or three passengers in it. The car suddenly stopped right behind the mansion and the people sneaked up to the back cellar door.

A voice flooded the room. "The coast is clear. Come on guys, we're saving Sakura."

"They're after that wretch of a girl. I'm going to dispose of her quickly while you five kill her rescuers."

My master left quickly through the double doors.

"Takanaka is so serious that it's actually somewhat annoying," the redheaded sister mumbled before exiting a side door.

"Mmm-hmmm," the other sisters chorused before entering the same door they're sister just walked through. I followed close behind them.

- - (Sakura's POV)

I watched in horror as Megan's lifeless body walked slowly towards me. Her skin was milky white as if she had seen a ghost, and her head was drenched in sweat. No clothes covered her body.

"Megan..." I breathed. I ran up to her and she collapsed into my arms, sobbing.

"He raped me...my father raped me, Sakura!"

"I know...I know...shhh...it'll be all right..." I soothed her, stroking her head. She looked up at me through her tear-stained eyes and smiled a little bit.

"Thanks...you're like the mother I never had..."

"Where's your room...so we can clean you up?"

"We?"

"Ummm...Mr. Meanie behind me." I turned around and put on a playful grin towards the man staring at me, furious of what I said.

"What did you call me, wench?" he seethed. I giggled. It was so hard not to laugh. When I first woke up, he was rude, and you could tell it...but now, it's different. It's more play-like.

"Well...you'd be Mr. Nice if you lent Megan some clothing." He stared at me. "Unless...you want to run to her room and pick something out for her." He took off his skintight shirt and tossed it to Megan. "There...see? You can be nice...Mr. Nice."

"Psshh!" Megan pulled the shirt on and stood up. The shirt was just long enough to reach under her bottom.

"Thank you..." she answered quietly. The man stared at her, and then a faint red hue crept onto his face.

"Your welcome," he answered in the same tone.

"Well...let's continue on to your room, Megan. Where is it?"

"Next to yours...just down the hall a little." And so, we ventured down the hall and into her room.

- - (Takanaka's POV)

"She's making friends with my daughter...how evil...she must be taken care of now!" Everyone in the room jumped. "I suppose I should deal with her now like I did my daughter. Then both of them will know not to mess with me..."

"Yes...sir..." my minions said shakily. Stupid minions...

- - (Syaoran's POV)

WTF!!! We just walked in the door and all ready we're fighting. All of a sudden The Sisters greeted us at the cellar door, saying that their master knew we were here...great for us, let me tell you...in a sarcastic way. The red headed bitch had knocked Tomoyo unconscious all ready. I was taking on Ladriel and another of her sisters while Eriol had the last one. There was a man on the sidelines about my age holding a self-made handgun complete with a silencer in his hands. I supposed he was waiting for something to happen.

I knocked out Ladriel's sister, Mariko...I think her name was...and all that was left was Ladriel's tension and mine. Eriol came up behind me, panting heavily.

"Those two were really hard to beat," he whined. "You so owe me and Tomoyo when we get out of here."

"Like you two ever will!" Ladriel said. "Syaoran-poo, we had the best relationship! Don't throw that away for that Kinomoto bitch! I love you, can't you see that?"

"No...you don't love me. You love my handsomeness, my wealth, and my power. Sakura loves me for me, unlike you." Ladriel gave out a low cackle.

"Tsk...tsk...tsk...Syaoran Li, you have no idea how wrong you are. You're wrong; I do love you for you. It took me a while, but it changed. And right when it did, you went to Kinomoto. That bratty, young mute girl, who you cured, now loves you because you saved her life practically. She can't take care of herself that's why she's on you now."

"Ladriel...shut up. Anything you say about her...is your self-being. Sakura's not like that. In fact, she saved herself, not me. And she went through a lot of pain to do that. She believes in herself and she's going through so much pain right now."

- - (Ladriel's POV)

This was getting so old...

He was supposed to love me!

Not Kinomoto!

I looked past him to Heero. He was playing with his gun again. Somehow, he had knocked out Syaoran's friend, Eriol, while we were talking. Thank goodness. Never liked him in the first place.

Heero looked up at me and smiled deviously. He was another spirited assassin only he worked solo. I nodded slowly and Heero straightened up, lifting his right arm parallel to Syaoran's chest.

"Syaoran, you have no idea what you're talking about. She's using you," I continued. I was buying time for Heero. Syaoran stared into my eyes and gasped a little.

"LADRIEL!" A small pop was heard from behind Syaoran. Syaoran moved quickly out of the way, grabbing my body and placing it in front of him for protection.

Slip...

I bit back a scream as the small bullet entered my gut. This wasn't supposed to happen. I felt the red tangy liquid in my mouth and coughed a little. My life was deteriorating...

"Syaoran..." I coughed. "I really did love you...a long time ago..." I coughed again. "You've changed now." My life flashed before my eyes...well more of Syaoran and Sakura's lives. Sakura was just a little girl compared to me. She was so small and so naïve. So innocent. So loving. No wonder Syaoran chose her. She was so innocent and beautiful.

I closed my eyes tight, trying to suppress the pain erupting in my body. "Take care of Sakura...she loves you so much...and tell her..." cough..."sorry..." sleep..."for...me..."

And that was the end of me...

end...

that was sad...even for horrible Ladriel
