Chapter Eight
:---------------------------------------:

"He can't be back!" Sakura yelled throwing the pictures away. Her hands starting shaking, she kept shaking her head, "No he can't! I killed him that day." Clow touched her shoulder gently, "Cherry, you know there is a chance he survived. You know as well as I do that he could've found a way to escape. No one saw him actually die Cherry."

Sakura looked off towards a distance, "What could he want now?" Clow sighed, "Revenge." Eriol touched her hand gently, "It'll be okay Saku, we can take this guy on." Clow let out another sigh, "That's the thing, no one knows how strong he is. Throughout these last 50 years his powers must've improved dramatically. Even I won't be able to take him on."

Eriol stood up, "Than what are we going to do! Sit here and wait for him to come hunt us down!" Clow shook his head, "No, no, I have another plan. First for safety measures we'll put a cloak around the house, ensuring that Syaoran will not be able to enter. Afterwards we wait." Sakura hid her head into Eriol's warm embrace; they couldn't do anything now but wait.

:---------------------------------------:

Through the past few days all they did was sit around and wait. Nothing seemed to happen for weeks. Soon everyone began getting restless. Scared when he was going to make his move, where? Sakura sat out by the porch; she looked at her surroundings. Sure it wasn't anything big and flashy but it was home. Home, that word she never knew the true meaning of. What was home?

Home with her family when she was just a child? Or was it home with her best friend Tomoyo? Or home with Syaoran? How about when she lived in that castle with Clow and the other vampires was that home? Or now, with Eriol, was this considered home? Sure she felt safe, loved, but deep inside pain pierced through her. Through these fifty years no matter how much she tried, she wasn't able to forget him, never.

:---------------------------------------:

"We're here Sakura," Yue said as he helped her out of the suitcase. Sakura flexed out her muscles, sore from the tight encasement. "That was a nice sleep," she commented as she looked around at her surroundings. "Wow," she muttered as she noticed the rolling hills. The moon shined brightly above them, almost like it was smiling. There were flowers all around them, if only she could see it in the sun, she thought sadly.

Yue chuckled, "Oh but the moonlight glow makes it quite pretty also." Sakura nodded her head, Yue was right. The moonlight made it look like they were glowing, basking in the light. Sakura smiled brightly, "Let's go in, I want to start new." Yue nodded, "How did you get out of his grasps anyway? I doubt he would've just allowed you to stand up and leave. He seemed quite protective at the party."

Sakura tensed, "Um…I'll tell you later, first I want to rest." Yue nodded, he could tell she was lying, but knew it wasn't his to ask. They continued walking when suddenly Yue stopped in front of a tall gray castle, "Your new home." Sakura looked up in awe. It was absolutely beautiful. The flowerbeds all around the castle and a single pathway paved for people. The castle itself was a soft gray that shined brightly in the moonlight. Art were painted on the glass windows. Angels stood on the top by the doorway.

Yue held his hand out, while bowing down to her; "Shall we head inside?" Sakura nodded, smiling brightly, "Will do." While the two walked inside, she noticed all the dirty looks everyone was getting her. She started to shiver, what had she done wrong? Yue squeezed her hand reassuringly, "Don't worry, it's just because they don't know you." Sakura nodded, and continued walking, trying her best just to ignore them.

They stopped in front of a large door. On it was a picture of Jesus on the cross. Sakura touched it softly, "It looks so real," she commented. Yue nodded, "They spent a lot of time on this castle." Sakura nodded, "Where are we exactly? I never knew this was a part of Hong Kong." Yue chuckled, "Way off to the side, not much people know about this part. Which makes it so safe for us. The owner of this castle, he owns all this land." Sakura nodded, "He seems like a great person, I would love to meet him."

Yue grinned, "Well here's your chance, they're holding a meeting right now. Talking about if they should accept you as one of us or not." Sakura nodded feeling her palms getting sweaty, "If you guys don't accept me I'll have nowhere to go." Yue touched her shoulder gently, "Don't worry, the master will make sure you get in." Sakura nodded her head. Suddenly the doors started opening causing her to lose her balance. "You two may come in now," an old gruff voice called out.

Sakura looked over towards Yue, wanting to make sure it was okay. Seeing his nod, Sakura slowly stepped into the room. The concrete made her blacked lace heals click with every step. It felt like millions of eyes were on her. Yue slowly guided her towards the front where a single man sat in a red plush chair higher than the rest.

He had black hair up in a ponytail, and the softest blue eyes. Sakura smiled softly at the man, he reminded her so much of her own father. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she knew right now was not the time to cry. She bowed politely to the man. The man motioned for her to stand up before showing them both a seat. Yue and Sakura gladly accepted as they waited for someone to speak again. A man from the far back cleared his throat, grabbing everyone's attention, "How do we know we can trust this…girl?" he spat out.

Sakura winced but quickly recomposed herself, she noticed Yue clenching his fist, "She wouldn't do anything to harm us!" The man stood up, "And how do we know this? For all we know she could still be working with the devil himself! She could be using us to gain information!" The other members nodded their heads in agreement. The man at the front cleared his throat, "I think we should give Yue a chance to tell us what he found out about this girl before we all jump to conclusions."

Yue stood up, his light purple eyes shining proudly. He smiled at Sakura before looking back to the other members, "As I was saying she wouldn't do anything to harm us. For the past year I've been watching her every movement since the party. Even at the party she hadn't attended the festivities." "How do we know she doesn't do that stuff now!" another man growled up. Yue glared at that man, causing him to back down, "It doesn't matter! I just know!"

He looked up towards the master before continuing, "Like I was saying, she just wouldn't do it. Her heart's too pure, she's like us. She just wants to survive not kill." Mummers were heard throughout. They watched as the master smiled warmly at the girl, "You're in." Sakura almost jumped up for joy, but realizing where she was she controlled herself. She looked off towards Yue, it was all because of him this was all possible. All the other men walked off while the three sat there.

Yue looked over towards Sakura, "Saku this is Clow-sama, the master of this place." Sakura smiled and bowed slightly, "Thank you so much for accepting me." Clow waved her aside, "I'm glad to have someone like you join us." Sakura nodded happily, and looked at him with sad eyes. "What happened Cherry?" Clow asked softly. "Cherry?" Sakura asked confused. Clow chuckled, "It seemed to fit your personality. Beautiful and pure like a cherry blossom."

Sakura blushed and looked up to the man. Looking at him she felt as though she could trust him. She looked down at the palm of her hands; "I killed him." Clow looked at her, "Who Cherry?" "Syaoran…" she said softly staring off into the distance. Clow stared at her, "Are you sure about this?" Sakura nodded and explained to him what had happened the night before.

Clow nodded his head, "I see." Tears were trailing out of her eyes now, "I-I-I don't knowwhy I did it…I just…I wanted to live. I needed to be free. And I know that with him I could never have that…never." Yue touched her hand, "Shh, it's okay." Clow smiled at the woman, "Don't worry Cherry. You're with us now, we'll teach you everything you need to know." Sakura smiled, "Thank you." Clow just smiled as she walked off. The man looked up towards the sky in sadness, "Yelan…what am I to do with that nephew of mine?"

:---------------------------------------:

What happens in the next three months…

'Cherry…first you must focus your mind when the blood lust comes. Drink so your thirst is gone, you mustn't kill the victim.'"B-b-but it's hard!" Sakura yelled out. 'Cherry, you can do this, we all have faith in you.' Sakura nodded her head as sweat poured down her face. Her skin was deathly pale, her eyes a bright emerald green. She held onto the pole beside her tightly, just underneath were humans.

She could smell them, their blood rushing through them, the scent they gave off. "I need the food now!" Sakura screamed. 'Remember to control your senses Cherry. You mustn't kill them remember all we've trained for.' For days they had restricted the amount of blood she had received by stopping her before any real damage was done to the person. But now she was on her own. Sakura took a deep breath as the door opened and she saw her prey.

Her green eyes glowed in delight, 'food.' She went to lunge for the food when she remembered, 'Must control my senses.' She gave the victim an image of peace, and quickly went to his neck taking a drink. The rich blood rushed down her throat, the blood soaring deep inside of her. It felt like a drug, she wasn't ready to stop. She felt his soul slipping from his body. She quickly released the body and stepped away. Was he still alive? Slowly she touched his pale check, she could feel his pulse. A smile appeared on her lips, she had succeeded in drinking her first victim without killing them all on her own. She looked up and smiled happily, 'I did it otou-san!' She could hear Clow chuckle in her head, 'Yes you did it Cherry, you did it.'

The three had gotten tighter as each day past. Yue was like a brother to her, she never replaced Touya in her heart, but now she had Yue to always protect her. Clow became like a second father, and she knew deep in her heart, she wouldn't make the same mistake twice, she would be there for him.

:---------------------------------------:

Walking down the concrete halls in her white laced heals she turned her head to view the beautifully decorated walls. Clow had called her and Yue to meet him in his office for a talk. He had told them it was urgent and sent for them right away. She quickened her pace, what if he was hurt? Shaking those thoughts aside she suddenly stopped walking as she looked up. "What were you trying to do Yue?" she asked pissed at the man on the ceiling. Yue chuckled nervously, "Nothing?"

Sakura just shook her head, "Let's hurry and go!" Yue nodded while walking beside her, "I wonder what he wanted to talk to us about." Sakura agreed, "He sounded really distressed." Yue sighed, "I know, do you think he's all right?" Sakura turned to face him, "Of course he's all right!" Yue stepped back, "Sorry…" Sakura took a deep breath, "Sorry, I'm still a little tense." Yue nodded, "Don't worry I understand." Sakuranodded and the two continued walking.

They stopped at a door with a large cross-painted with a sun shining above. Sakura slammed opened the doors looking around. She noticed he was by the windows. Walking slowly with Yue behind her she looked up at him, "Is there something wrong otou-san?" She heard him sigh, "Take a look at the painting above the fireplace. Sakura turned to the fireplace and above it stood a beautiful painting of a woman. She had long auburn hair, and the softest blue eyes. A sad smile was painted on her lips. She looked so unhappy in the picture.

"Who is she?" Sakura asked while walking closer. "Syaoran's wife." Sakura froze, "H-h-his wife?" Clow nodded walking towards her, "Yes his first wife." Sakura looked at him, "B-b-but he told me he wasn't married." Clow sighed, "Probably felt that he really wasn't. They were in a horrible relationship together. There wasn't any love involved." Sakura gasped a loveless marriage.

"Hey…that…that looks like you Sakura!" Yue commented. Sakura looked up at the painting. The woman had a slightly pale skin, a nice low cheekbone and a small tender body. She was wearing a white crystal lined dress. Suddenly a memory hit her. When they had first met, Sakura was wearing a similar dress that Tomoyo had bought for her. Suddenly something on the woman's hand caught her eyes. It was the same ring on her finger. A gold band with diamonds embedded. Suddenly she felt disgusted. How was Syaoran able to take the ring off his wife's hand? Had he really cut it off? Sakura shuddered at the horrible thoughts.

"What happened to her?" Sakura asked softly while staring at the sad faced woman. Clow shook his head, "Such a sad tale." Sakura and Yue sat down on the black couch, "We have the time." Clow looked at them, smiling softly, "This was all before Syaoran is who he is today. Way before."
