Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura.
I stood in front of the room Mr. Green's secretary told me about. I swiftly opened the door with one quick movement to find darkness facing me.
"Miss Sakura Kinomoto, please enter." I heard Mr. Green's voice from a speakerbox above. A bright light shining directly at my face annoyed me to the fact that I can't go in if I can't see anything.
I shielded my eyes from the light and slowly walked in trying not trip over my heels. And to my happiness they shut the light off.
A person dressed up in black from head to toe stood right beside two large double doors.
"Please enter." A deep tone voice came out of his mouth, he didn't move his jaw. It was as if he was a robot as he stared off to space.
Behind those doors was a large vast room with the widest tv screen like a movie theater but instead it had more than one screen. There were workers working away among the highest modern looking technology that doesn't even look like a computer. I walk down towards the back observing everything in sight.
Suddenly I hear my brother's name being said out loud, twirling around I focus on the screen as I recognized my brother on it along with his wife.
"Touya and Kaho Kinomoto have been discovered missing after a break in robbery in their hotel room in Paris. No evidence was left by the kidnapper just a note that said - 'Its time we came back'... There appear to be blood all over the scene of the crime meaning the couple put up quite a fight but the blood seems to belong to the man, Touya Kinomoto he lost quite a lot of blood..." The sound of the newsreporter voice faded slowly as my eyes widen.
Mr. Green approached me with a sympathized look on his face following along with four other men behind him gestured me into the control room above.
"Kinomoto I believe there is something you would like to know about." Mr. Green said as he sat toward the furthest side of the long narrow table. I was in quite a bit of shock. Why would anybody want to kidnap my brother, the owner of a furniture company! Do people actually want his furniture that bad! Thousands of reasons raced in my mind.
"What the hell is going on?" That was all I could say.
I listen to everything they told about Touya and Kaho being in the spy business called the Red Swords. Turns out everyone I knew from my father to my grandfather were in the spy business too.
"How your mother met your father.. it was here." Tomoyo Daidouji walked into the room.
"You too?" I was a bit shock to see Tomoyo here. Even if she was my cousin I still couldn't imagine her even defending herself at all.
"I'm a changed woman." She obvisouly read my mind. She shrugged as she sat down in one of the chairs.
"Your brother, Touya was head of the Red Swords, since he is missing we decided it was time to let you know the truth." Mr. Green informed me.
"I-I can't believe no one told me." The only words that came out of my mouth. All the rage inside me threatening to come out because of all those years, they all lied to me. How could I trust anybody when I barely even know them. Like Touya my brother who told me he had to go to many business trips and long meetings for his company.
It was all a lie..
"Your father believed it was such a burden and too much to handle for a girl like you especially of what happen to your mother." Mr Green tried to explain. My mother? She is dead...
Or was that a lie too...
"What happen to my mother?" I asked in a feirce tone. I demanded an answer. Everyone told me she died in the hospital, even my family did.
"She.. was shot by someone.-" he was interrupted by a announcement calling him, "I'm sorry but my services is needed out there." Mr. Green said refusing to say anything else. He walked out of the room followed by the five men but Tomoyo didn't even budge. I look toward Tomoyo for some comfort but she sat there with a grin on her face.
"Please Sakura don't even think about crying." she scoffed as she brought her gun to polish it. I could barely see her with tears forming in my eyes and reflected back to our whole life together. The person that was in front of me couldn't possibly be Tomoyo Daidouji. Its just not possible, she would never say that.
"She was shot in the head if you were wondering about it." Tomoyo said as she pointed the gun towards her head and pretended to shoot herself. I looked at her horrifed, she knew I was always uncomfortable when it comes to talking about my mother. She wasn't the nice sweet girl that everyone loved. She was right, she has changed...
I walked out the control room and moving pass everyone refusing to stop. If they wanted to be like this then let them.
I'm not going to let it bother me, I am going to get my brother back.
"Mr. Green, tell me what do I have to do to save my brother?" I asked him. He shook his head.
"We have it taken care of for now I just need you to calm down and go home." Mr. Green told me. I won't listen to that.
"No, that is a lie. You know I can help." I said. I waited for him to react. He pulled out a cigar nervously and looked up to see Tomoyo watching from above.
"I'm sorry but I assure you, everything is under control. Go home and get some rest." he said as two men escorted me out of the building.
I threw my purse down into the ground at the sidewalk in front of the building. I looked up at the sky and said quietly to myself,
"I'm ok, I'm not going to cry." I sniffed.
I remember long time ago when a bully took my doll refusing to give it back, I was in the 3rd grade so young and so naive.
"Give it back!" I exclaimed but the bully raised the doll higher and higher out of my reach. I reached outward to it but quickly lost hope, sat down and cried.
Touya came running along with Yukito and grabbed the doll away from the boy, everyone was scared of Touya knowing what damage he could do when he was small. The bully ran away as quickly as he could. Touya kneeled down and placed the doll in my lap.
"Sakura, how can you protect yourself when you give up too quickly?" he said in a gentle but yet a brave voice.
"Because.. sniff... h-he took m-my doll! H-he wouldn't give it to me!" I said through the tears. Touya sighed.
"You can't have everything in life just fall into place just for you. When you reach for something don't give up, thats the only way you'll lose. Crying only encourages failure not success." Those words stuck to me, never fading.
"Come on Sakura lets go eat some ice cream." Yukto exclaimed.
All of the sudden I was pulled out of my walk down memory lane.
"Calm down there, no wonder you always end up losing your purse." that voice.. Syaoran Li, Bob Keg, Tom Kennel whatever his name was. I was glad he was here. He picked up my purse and dust off the dirt on top of it.
I was so glad I couldn't stop smiling at him.
"What? Is there something on my face?" he smiled too showing a perfect set of white teeth. I shook my head.
"You work here?" he became quiet for a second looking around, "You look miserable, come on lets take you somewhere to fun." he said as he took my hand and led me to where ever he wanted to.
What I didn't notice was his blue haired friend that was hiding in the bushes trying to break in.
"Alright now open your eyes." Li said as he uncovered my eyes to see... a museum. 'Well..I guess that was to be expected even though I was hoping something better.' I thought as I tried to act as happy as he was.
"Its the new museum that opened a month ago. I haven't seen it yet I can't wait to see it." he said excitedly. I giggled as we ran in hand in hand thinking how ridicoulously cute he was.
"This is the new sculpture was made by a lady who's ways that were unknown. It was known that her hands were graceful and smooth making each outline of any statue beautiful to look at." He kept going on and on about the statue but I couldn't stop gazing at his face.
'I wonder if he remembers me..' I though to myself.
"Syaoran Li?" I said a little too loud. He stopped talking and looked at me.
"Yes that is my name."
I took a step forward and bit my lip. "Remember me?" I asked. He shook his head as he never took his gaze off of me.
"I'm Sakura Kinomoto." I said hopefully looking at his face for a reaction.
