Thanks to:
La SaLLe - 6Re3n ArCh3r 15: you didn't update for some time or something I think it was but no worries! . see I'm so in tuned with my reviewers…like esp or something I know when they review or when they don't…and if they don't…okie babbling again…shutting up…x I really do need to shut up…eep!
Mariko: WOWEE that was a long review…and I do mean LONG…but I'm grateful! . Yeah Sakura has been given the vial …hint hint it's the same medication as the stuff that took her voice away…hinthint… yeah he's probably gonna rape her…-runs away-that's gonna be so hard to write if I do make him actually rape her…-cries- yeah Touya cracks me especially how he acts towards Syaoran…it's so funny just to watch and listen. It was so hard for me not to laugh when Eriol almost attacking Syaoran…but I wonder why Syaoran didn't try to fight back thinking it was a minion of yours truly…hmmm…didn't event think about that…silly me! He'd go slower since he doesn't want to drop his guard running fast and making sounds from his shoes and ragged breathing…I actually don't know how a cherry blossom smells like…never been to Washington DC or Japan…but my dad, who has been to both, said they smell wonderful and they're very strong smelling, too. Well I went popular just being myself…but it's not in the whole school just the 200 kids that are in my rotc course…it's kinda creepy you walk down the halls and someone just calls out your name and you look and wonder who that is because you have absolutely NO idea who it is…that's a regular day basis for me…I have so many people yelling hello and I have no idea who they are…weird…but it's cool…bad girl staying up past your bedtime…wait what is your bedtime hahaha . well I'm updating I'm updating!
Cherryblossom88: yes, sadly…I was about to cry it was horrible…it'd suck to be a mute…especially when it wasn't genetically given to you…;.;
Chin: Yep I know…it gets explained…somewhat yes it does cause like every three to four chapters I check if I'm going off topic or not…thanks for your review!
Silver emerald: Well here's the 16th chappie! And I do feel honored having my story be your first read and review! :)
You Brought Me Back
By: Aya
Chapter 16: Is the worst really over?
- - Syaoran's POV
I stared ahead into the room…my eyes widening. I was sure that I smelled her. Her scent was too different from anyone else's. This just couldn't be happening!
Eriol rested his hand on my shoulder and whispered something…I wasn't even listening.
I had been so sure of myself…Sakura was probably losing her life right now…and just because I couldn't get there fast enough.
I backed away from the room and continued walking down the hall.
- - Sakura's POV
I had been thinking of how I took my voice for granted. I used it however many times I wanted. I had thought about this so many times…ever since the event when I was fifteen. Maybe this was my punishment or something…maybe I did something wrong. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe!
I tried to scream, but when no sound came from my mouth, I began to cry. Why had he done this?
- - Syaoran's POV
Nothing came to me anymore. My vision was clouded, my mind scattered. All I could think about was Sakura's face when the unthinkable happened.
Her pained kept staring at me…they wouldn't stop at all.
"LET ME GO YOU DAMN BASTARD!!!!!" a woman's voice yelled. It wasn't Sakura, though. "I'LL KILL YOU!!! Let me GOOOOOO!!!"
I ran to where her voice was yelling. Cells lined the whole area and a girl not even the age of fifteen was trapped inside one, screaming her head off. Her face was red and her knuckles were white from gripping the cell bars too tightly.
"BASTARDS!" she screamed. She lowered her head and swayed a little before falling to the ground with a heavy sigh. "No one's gonna get us out of here…" she said softly to someone.
"Hello?" I asked, stepping towards the cell.
The girl ran up to the cell gates and stared hard at me. "You had better be the person saving Sakura or I'm going get out of this cell and tear you're head off!"
"How do you know Sakura?" I asked.
"How do you?!" the girl asked.
"I'm Syaoran…who're you?"
"Megan. My father locked me in here after he took Sakura away from us." She sighed and looked towards the boy who was sitting next to her. He only seemed to be about eighteen or so. "Please help us get out of here! Something bad is gonna happen to Sakura if we don't hurry!"
"Where're the keys?" Eriol asked, walking over to the desk in the corner.
"The guy set them in the first drawer, but I'm—" Megan was cut off.
"Who're you guys!!!" someone yelled from the doorway. I turned around and saw a guard staring straight at us. Great… "Intruders!" Four more guys walked in holding knives and guns ready to let them go off any moment.
The guard walked passed me reaching inside his pocket for the keys to the cell that Megan and the other guy were in. I stood there for a minute contemplating whether I should take the keys from him or get locked up. Keys…? Cell? Keys? Cell…? I like keys better.
I gave the guy a nice uppercut into the stomach. The keys flew past him and into cell with Megan. She grabbed them and fumbled with each and every key just trying to find one that even remotely looked like it would fit into the cell door lock.
The four guys standing at the doorway rushed in and tried to apprehend Eriol and me, as we were the ones that would actually deal damage to them. One of them charged at me, but Eriol intercepted, much to my dislike, and hit him hard across the neck, rendering him unable to move…
Tomoyo just…helped Megan with the keys. I noticed, under my oh-so-intense fighting, that she was taking keys off the ring.
"Syaoran!!" Megan screamed. I turned my head around just as a large fist pounded itself into my temple.
- - Megan's POV
NO! That is not good!
Syaoran had just fainted and Eriol was fighting not one, but THREE guys who looked about three sizes bigger than him.
Well now Eriol was fighting two hopes because one of them was dragging Syaoran into our cell. He pulled his gun on Mr. Nice behind me and told us to stay put or we would be losing our lives earlier than planned.
We backed up as he threw Syaoran at our feet. We immediately went to him.
"You put me down, you! You incompetent bastard! Put me down now!" The woman I guessed to be Tomoyo, screamed. Eriol was caught in one of the guys' arms, which, literally, wrapped around his form twice.
"Tomoyo, dear, you might want to quiet down in sake for our lives…" Eriol said to her. Her faced turned red from anger.
"I will not quiet down! My best friend is gonna DIE! Did you hear me? DIE, Eriol! She's only twenty! She has a life!" Tomoyo screamed louder. The guy, who was carrying her, got irritated and held her tighter, forcing the air from her lungs. She fell forward, her face pale and gasping for air. After about five seconds she stopped completely, body and mind…going limp.
- - Sakura's POV
The man stared at me head to toe. It was very uncomfortable…I mean no one has ever looked at me that way unless they were perverted. Well, that would include him…
I was somewhat wishing…he'd just get it over with…that way I'd die and not have to endure his sickly gaze.
But then again…I wanted to live so enduring it would have to suffice for now.
I sighed.
"Something on your mind, baby?" Gag. Too bad I couldn't talk…yet. I'd be…talking him down! If you could…that is…
I had the sudden urge to vomit again. I leaned forward in the chair as best as I could and gagged. I think that may have been from not eating, but then again I'm not sure. There were flecks of blood in the mass on the floor, but that could be from the fact of my damaged vocal cords.
I breathed hard another wave of vomit coming out my mouth. What the hell was happening?
"W-w-what…" Was that even a word…it came out so hoarsely, scratching the back of my throat? "Is-s hap-p-pen-ning-g t-to m-me?"
The man smiled down to me. "Oh…just nothing. Those medicines I gave to you so-called nurse were given to you were they?"
"Y-y-you…"
"Ah…so they weren't. Thanks for your little input…this'll make things…interesting." He walked casually towards me. He began to take the ropes of my legs then my arms, but I still had the ropes on my hands, so I couldn't do anything. He walked over to the bed and tossed me on top of it, staring me down. "Ah…so beautiful to be dying so young…pitiful. Too bad you too good or I would actually keep you." He lay on top of me and wrapped his arms around my waist finding my hands and untying the ropes around them. I pulled them out from under me and pressed them against his chest to get him off.
"Sorry, little cherry blossom…you're not getting away that easily…plus I don't think that you'd be actually able to push me off." I growled, almost scared. My eyes widened when he reached up and grabbed a needle off the nightstand. The needle had a reddish liquid in it, sloshing around each time he moved it. My eyes widened.
"W-w-wha-a-t-t—" I forced out before being interrupted.
"Ah, but Sakura, you remember this so well! It's you're medicine…only combined. A little chemical change…may have some different results…" He cackled so loud that it echoed off the walls.
I pressed harder against his chest, hoping that he'd get off, but nothing fazed him. The needle was placed into my neck it's contents rushing through my veins.
I felt my body suddenly fall weak and my head began swimming so bad that I couldn't think. I gripped the man's t-shirt and stared ahead of me…I couldn't see…I couldn't think…my breaths came ragged very sharply and I pulled myself to the man gripping his shirt so hard, I could have ripped it.
It hurt so badly. I was gasping so bad…no breaths entered my body…my mind was swimming…my body was falling…I was…losing…consciousness…
I let my eyes close. I felt my heart rate slow down and with the pain, fell lightly against the man's shoulder and chest, and losing any consciousness that I had. The last thing I heard was his snigger and all I could remember was…
Syaoran…
- - Megan's POV
Breathe damnit! BREATHE! You can't die yet! I screamed within my mind, tears streaming down my face. The man had sucked so much air out of Tomoyo's body that her heart had stopped beating.
Eriol was trying so had with CPR, but I don't think he was getting anywhere. Now Mr. Nice is trying.
One, two, three, four, five, breathe.
Nothing…
Again.
Nothing…
Again…
Nothing…
We weren't getting anywhere! I ran over to Tomoyo and threw my body over hers, my head on top of her breasts.
"Tomoyo, you have to wake up! Sakura needs you! You must wake up! Don't leave her behind like I did! Don't be like me, Tomoyo! Save her!" I began to pour tears like rivers onto her chest, beating lightly on her stomach. Nothing was working! TOMOYO WAKE—
Wait…
I stared at my hand it was moving up and down…
That only meant…
I placed my head into her chest more and I felt a light thumping…her heart!
I lifted my head and stared at her smiling face. Her eyelids opened and she stared straight into mine, her amethyst eyes filling with tears.
"Thank you… Let's go save, Sakura…"
Eriol reached over and hugged her, not letting go. Mr. Nice stared at Megan and unconsciously wrapped his arms around her waist, leaning his head on her shoulder. She smiled and responded back, leaning her head against his.
"Now all we need is Syaoran…" I turned my head to where Syaoran was, but he wasn't sleeping…he was sitting up…with a somewhat of a somber look on his face.
- - Syaoran's POV
I can't feel her…
She spoke my name…
Syaoran…
Then…her presence was…gone…
A tear escaped down my cheek and my reverie vanished only to find Megan staring at me with a sad look on her face. She reached up and wiped the tear from my cheek…
"You're crying…" she simply said. I stoop up fast, grabbed the set of keys were snatched, and walked over to the cell door. I started inserting them into the lock.
"We need to find Sakura…and fast." The lock clicked and I pushed open the door. I stared back at the small group…
"Her presence has vanished…" I looked back in front of me into the darkness as another tear fell down my cheek.
"What does that mean?" Tomoyo and Megan said quietly in unison.
"She's…gone…"
