Chapter Nine
:---------------------------------------:
A 5 year old with messy chestnut hair and the softest brown eyes ran down the stairs looking around, "Mommy, Mommy!" the little boy yelled out. A woman with her hair tied up in a tight bun with a grim smile held out her left hand. The young boy gladly accepted it, "Mommy! I had the best day today!" The woman just nodded. On the right side stood another boy, with long black hair and blood red eyes. He looked to be about the age of 10.
"Be quiet Syaoran!" the boy barked out. "B-b-but I was talking to mommy," the younger one wailed. The woman held her hand up hushing them both, "Your father is in an important meeting right now with a star gazer. I would appreciate it if you would both stop arguing." The older one bowed down, "Yes mother." The younger one pouted, but nodded his head.
After their father had come into the room with the rest of the family he smiled softly and motioned for his wife to move towards him. After a little talk they all went to bed. The next morning Syaoran was in for a surprise. He noticed all the maids packing all his stuff, "What are you doing?" The maid turned towards him and smiled sadly, "Sorry little master you're going to be going to a boarding school in Japan." Syaoran froze, "Japan?" The maid nodded and quickly rushed to continue her work.
Syaoran froze, he was being sent to Japan.
:---------------------------------------:
15 years had past since that dreadful day. Now twenty he returned home, swearing on revenge. His parents had died five years ago, and they left everything to his older brother Hino, no surprise there. Frustrated he devised a plan to gain back all that was his. When he returned to Hong Kong he met this woman. She had the softest blue eyes and gorgeous brown hair.
Her name was Kaori Ruo; they had met one night down at a bar. Syaoran was so entranced by her eyes that it was like love at first sight. But as time past, Kaori met Hino and had fallen in love with him. Syaoran was enraged by this, everything he had ever gain, was always taken away by his older brother. Soon the two got married and forgot about Syaoran. That was when Syaoran vowed for revenge on them both.
For the next two years he worked to make everyone love him. The Queen had personally needed him to aid her with personal business. As time grew his name became famous. Now all that was left was to take back the woman he loved. One night when no one was around he had called for a private meeting with his brother. His brother was unsure, but went along with it anyway.
Once alone Syaoran had killed him. Afterwards he forced Kaori to marry her. She would've said no, but she had no means to fend for herself and her unborn child. She was now 8 months pregnant with no where to turn to but Syaoran. She had accepted the marriage with hesitation. Once the child was born, Syaoran had quickly sent him away to boarding school. Syaoran was also part of the Queen's special men.
But Syaoran personally had one own personal friend. Actually told by Kaori, this was his only friend. His name was Takashi Yamazaki.
:---------------------------------------:
Sakura stopped Clow from continuing, "Didn't people suspect the death of Hino? I mean he just suddenly died, didn't anyone care?" Clow sighed, "Sure people cared since he owned a large company, but at that time no onedared go against one of the Queen's men, especially her favourite one." Sakura nodded her head slowly, "A-a-and Kaori just allowed this to happen? She didn't even try to find someone! Or even try to help her child!" Clow touched her hand gently, "Like I said this was more than 400 years ago. Times were different back than. Woman had no placement in this world. And Kaori, no one would believe her.
Sakura slumped down in the chair as Yue held her tightly, "So than how do you know all this?" Clow looked into her eyes sadly, "I saw Kaori, before she died."
:---------------------------------------:
Takashi and Syaoran was a good pair. Syaoran was the person everyone saw as perfect, intelligent, and loved by all. Takashi on the other hand was the brains, he had the knowledge of those much older than him. After the two were finally married Syaoran forced her to stay at home. He knew in his heart the woman no longer loved him, but all he wanted was to take everything back.
He had abused her harshly when no one was around. But that was only when he was home, which he rarely was. Most of the time he was out on business for the Queen or with Takashi. Some say that the two were into the dark arts. Takashi had slowly devised a plan to capture a vampire and transform themselves.
:---------------------------------------:
Sakura froze when those words escaped his mouth, "They wanted to become vampires!" Yue quickly hushed her and looked towards Clow for an answer. Clow nodded sadly, "Yes…it's true. They had hunted for a vampire and captured him." "Where's Takashi than?" Yue asked curious. Clow shrugged his shoulders, "No one really knows for sure. And they wanted to transform to hold immortality. Syaoran knew that in order to reach his goal, he needed to live for longer. He knew that in this lifetime he wouldn't be able to fulfill everything he wanted."
Sakura looked off towards the distance, Syaoran chose this life. He brought this horrible nightmare to her. She shook her head furiously, who would willingly choose to become like her, a creature of the night. Someone, who wasn't alive, but neither was shedead. Just living in the verge of nothingness. "Where were you this whole time?"
Clow just sat there as he gazed out in the distance, "I was in Japan at the time. Helping people. You see I was transformed about 100 years before Syaoran was. I didn't know about Syaoran until it was too late," Clow shook his head sadly, "It was too late, by the time I came she was almost dead."
:---------------------------------------:
A few months past, the only time Syaoran ever returned home was to be with his wife. After some time they realized she was pregnant. For the seven months she had the baby he never laid a single hand on her. No matter how he treated his wife, he wanted a child. A successor to take over once he died. But on the seventh month there was a miscarriage.
Syaoran was outraged at the thought of losing his child so the beatings grew more severe. Finally after a few months the research Syaoran and Takashi were doing finally improved. They had finally captured a live vampire. But the worst was yet to come. Turns out, they had wanted a test subject. So who better to use…than his own wife Kaori.
:---------------------------------------:
Sakura froze, as she heard Clow utter those words. He had used his wife as a test. He had used to her to make sure he wouldn't die by the vampire. Sakura clutched her fists tightly, "How could he be so heartless!" Yue touched her shoulder, "Shh…" Clow shook his head, "He never learned otherwise Cherry. His family was never there for him…he had never experienced love." Sakura wanted to strangle his parents right now, "How could they just leave their child like that!"
Clow stood up, sighing tiredly, "I'm not sure…he never told anyone." Sakura looked over at Clow, "What happened after she was transformed?"
:---------------------------------------:
Kaori received the transformation ten times as painfulas Sakura had. She had no one there to help her…she was entirely alone. After the transformation was complete, Syaoran had been extremely happy and did the transformation on himself. As time grew, he realized he no longer needed Kaori, he had all the time in the world to get what he wanted. So he left, he never returned home again.
Although she was immortal, after losing the child did a great thing to her mind. She laid there frail on the bed everyday. No one bothered taking care of her. Syaoran had hired some servants for her, but they were all of their kinds so they only tended her at night. Even then they were barely any help at all. Slowly she had died through blood loss. But before she did, Clow had finally uncovered what Syaoran was doing all these years, and the one thing that knew him before, his wife.
I had come to visit her, but by that time, she was frail on the verge of death. She had told me everything, all she knew about Syaoran. She also knew that she was dying, but instead of being afraid…she embraced death. She wanted it to come, to end all her misery. The only thing she was worried about was her child, the child she had conceived with Hino…but…I didn't have the heart to tell her, but her child had died through sickness many years ago.
It didn't have enough strength to live over the age of one. Afterwards when Syaoran realized his wife had died he gave her a burial and sold the house to me. Of course at the time he didn't know he had sold it to his great great uncle. Afterwards Syaoran had adventuredoutwards in Hong Kongand bought himself a castle that was personally made.
Actually he owned most of the land that was there. He had farmers all around helping him, but he was a bad landowner. He abused his workers, choosing a different woman per night. Barely giving them enough food to survive. After awhile he felt it wasn't worth it anymore and decided to sell the castle. But here's the thing, since Kaori died and I was seen with her he figured out who I was so he wouldn't sell the land to me.
:---------------------------------------:
"So instead I got one of my really good friends to buy it for me," Clow said proudly, "And here we are today, in the same building." Sakura looked around, so all this had belonged to Syaoran. The concrete walls, the finely furnished rooms, the large vast space. It all had belonged to him and he had abused that privilege. She clenched her fists. He had abused his privilege as a vampire. Clow touched her shoulder gently, "Don't worry my child, he's gone now." Sakura looked at Clow and nodded with a sad smile. He was gone, truly gone now.
:---------------------------------------:
First Year
For the first year living under a new master she learned a lot more. Not only did she never have to kill again, but also she learned to increase all her skills. She was now able to use telepathy with just the thought; also she had finally been able to learn to fly on her own. A special talent that Clow had personally taught her was the ability to summon spirits although it used a great amount of her energy.
She was proud of her master; she grew to love him like a true father. And Yue was with her every step of the way. Although many of the others were jealous of the time Clow gave them they never dared to say anything. Sakura soon grew to be a stronger vampire than Yue, but still Yue watched over her. As the time flew by, her memory of Syaoran slowly lessened. But she never forgot, never forgot their love that was shared. She forgave him for all the torment, but the love always lied deep within her soul.
:---------------------------------------:
Second Year
Second year soon came and past. Sakura and Yue worked hard to improve their agility and strength. Sakura excelled in everything she did. Her own personal talent, the summoning was now much better and she could do it quite quickly as long as someone else was there. Clow had told her it would be much too risky if she did it on her own.
Summoning a spirit consisted of three parts. First choosing a spirit, than you must enter the spirit realm (much like the ghost plain but much more peaceful), and lastly you must find the spirit within a given time (how much time your spirit body can last there) and than convince it to come out. Now the other person is to quickly get you back from the spirit realm if the spirit you are contacting absolutely refuses to come with you and instead tries to drag you with them or if you can not find the spirit, the person reminds you to exit before it is too late.
If you aren't released in time, you stay stuck in that realm forever, so Sakura always tried to avoid summoning.
By the end of the second year Clow had held another meeting with the two. He sent the two to different paths. Sakura was to return back to Japan, start things anew, while Yue was to head towards England to take care of some business. Heading their separate ways they never once saw each other for the past 48 years.
Once she arrived to Japan she realized that even in two years everything had changed. Tomoyo was married now, to a wonderful man. Sakura knew, she had seen the wedding with her own two eyes. Although she could never reveal herself, Clow had warned her to keep her distance, but she still saw everything that went on.
Afterwards she would always go and watch her brother, make sure he was still safe. She could feel the hatred in his heart when he realized his little sister was missing again, but his wife would always assure him. Sakura smiled, he had the perfect wife. As time went on she barely contacted the other two. But sometimes Clow would call her, teaching her something new, or just checking up on her training.
And than that day came, that day that she went to go see Tomoyo, the memory stillcarved into her heart. Tomoyo, she had everything, she had a family, happiness, everything. She had little worries; her life was fulfilled just like she had wanted it to. Her children, everything was just perfect.
Yes, Sakura had found Eriol, her new love. But it wasn't the same; no he would never be able totake the void that Syaoran left. And children…she would never be able to have any, at least not with a human. Immortals were to only be with immortals.
A child…all she had ever wanted when she was younger, something she would never have.
!Extra! lol hehe I love doing this…anyways just one question right now…what you want me to write first…about Sakura's and Eriol's relationship, or…continuing in the future?
