A/N Hey thanks for the reviews! Here's the next chapter and I hope you all like it. I've been working on it or awhile now and I hope it's okay. If it's bad, all I can say is I got hit in the head with a football so if I'm dumber than I usually am, I blame the football. I've really had a bad week… Anyways…. Here's the chapter.
Re-cap of chapter 3…
She couldn't close her eyes. Every time she closed her eyes she saw the scene all over again. Koji picking up the woman off the street, Koji taking the woman into the forest, Koji stabbing the woman, and Koji tossing her aside. It was just too much or her to bear! She couldn't believe all this time she had been married to a killer. How stupid could she have been to think he was perfect! When she got home she was so sending his guilty ass to prison!
On her way home the only thing running through her mind was:
"My husband is a killer. I'm going to make sure he pays for his sins."
Chapter 4: I'll Get my Revenge
Sakura got home before Koji. Mostly because she had sped down the road like there was no tomorrow. 'For that poor girl there is no tomorrow…' she absently found herself thinking.
She shook her head to get the thoughts out and raced to the phone. She dialled the police department and waited for someone to answer. When someone answered she listened to what they had to say.
"You have reached the Tomoeda Police Department may can I help you?" the receptionist recited the greeting in a bored voice.
"Hel-hello, I'm calling to have some police men sent over to my house. I have a crim-criminal for them to arrest." She stuttered. She cursed at herself for sound so wimpy in phone. But she did have an excuse, she did just find out her husband was freakin' serial killer!
"And what kind of crime did they commit? Was it shoplifting or something?" the obnoxious receptionist spoke like it was no big deal.
"Murder." Sakura spoke firmly this time. "I know the man whose been killing the women in the forest."
That made the receptionist perk up. "Are you sure? This isn't just some prank? Because this is a serious matter!"
"Ye-yes. I saw wit-with my own e-eyes," Sakura told her with tears in her eyes as she remembered the horrifying scenes once again.
"What's the address"
"267 Selkirk Crescent."
"And your name?"
Sakura Tzu."
"Someone will be on there way over." The woman on the other line told her.
"Thank you." Sakura whispered as she hung up before even waiting or the woman to respond.
Tadashi was driving down the road. He had gotten a call from the chief saying that Koji's wife had called saying she needed someone to come and arrest someone. As soon as he heard that Sakura had called he immediately jumped in his car and raced down the street to her house.
He thought someone might have hurt her or Sumiko and she had him or her at the house waiting for someone to come and pick them up and take them away. He hadn't even waited to listen to what the chief had to say. All he heard was that a Sakura Tzu had called and he hung up right away to go and see her.
As he thought about her, he couldn't stop picturing her smiling face or her beautiful emerald green eyes. Ever since she had started dating Koji he had always hoped that one day she would realize that he wasn't good enough for her and realize how much he loved her. But she never did. Instead she married him leaving him standing there at the alter as the best man instead of the groom Then he had hoped that she would realize what a shitty husband Koji was and divorce him. Then while she was upset about everything, she would cry on his shoulder and then eventually realize that he's always been there for her and fall in love with him, but it had been five years now. Koji wasn't a shitty husband, he was madly in love with her, Sakura never divorced him, and they had a child.
Sumiko was the perfect child. Exactly like her mother, beautiful, lively, and carefree. If Sakura had ever left Koji for him, he would make sure to be the best stepfather to her in the world. Even treat her like his own child. That was just how much he wanted to be with Sakura.
To be completely honest, he and Koji weren't exactly friends. They were more like rivals. Growing up they always competed with each other whether it was sports, dares, and academics. But eventually had found a friendship in there that they found they could never lose. Everything was fine between them until they got into college. That was where they had met Sakura….
It had turned into a contest to get her. She was beautiful and perfect in everyway. Everything he had ever wanted. Everything Koji had ever wanted. Through all the time they had in college they both constantly tried to woo her. And sadly for him, she fell for Koji. What made him even more upset was that he had a feeling that to Koji all Sakura was was a show case wife. One he could show off to all his friends and make everyone jealous that she had fallen for him and agreed to marry him. Every chance he got he would rub it in his face that Sakura was his and didn't belong to him.
That last thought made him tighten his hands on the steering wheel. One of these days he would make the only woman he had ever loved finally love him back…
Sakura was calming herself down. She had just gotten off the phone a few minutes ago and she saw Koji walking up the drive way. Seeing him attacking so normal made her glare at his figure walking up. He didn't deserve to be that calm. How could he act like that? Like everything was fine? After what he just did. After all that he has done!
She snapped out of her thoughts when the door opened. She walked into the room Koji just walked into and acted like she did every night he came home late. She had always been told she was a good actress.
Koji looked at her and smiled walking over to her. "I'm so happy to see you. I thought I would never get home."
"Where have you been?" Sakura asked. She was doing what she did all the time so he wouldn't be suspicious.
"Like all the times I'm late. I was held up at work." He was trying not to make eye contact with her.
Sakura couldn't pretend anymore. She had had enough. With all of her strength she shoved him away from her. "Liar!"
Koji was shocked at her actions. Sakura had never acted like that before. "Wh-wha-what are you talking about?" he asked stuttering.
"You just said a bunch of bullshit!" Sakura screamed angrily.
"How do you know that?" he asked. He cursed himself for that slip-up because now it seemed like he was lying. Sure he was. But Sakura didn't need to know that.
"I saw you." Sakura stated.
"You, saw…me?" he paled.
"I saw you. I saw you leave work at your regular time. Then I saw you pick up that blonde off the streets. Then I saw you take her to the forest, and I followed you in and saw you KILL HER!" Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Now Sakura. I can explain," he stated trying to get near her. But his efforts were in vain. Sakura kept trying to get away from him.
"There's nothing to explain. You're a murderer! How could you do this? What would make you do this? I thought we were happy! We have a daughter for gods sake!"
"We are happy! And we still can be! I love our daughter. Sumiko and you are the best things that ever happened to me, honest! But it was fun!"
"It was fun! That's your excuse? I'm sorry but that is the lamest one I have ever heard. And we can't ever be happy again! I can't stay married to a man that is heartless enough to kill all of those women!"
Koji stared at her wide-eyed. He couldn't believe what he had just heard her say. He couldn't believe he just heard Sakura say those words. "What are you saying?" he asked scared.
"I'm saying, I already called the police to take you away Koji. And I can't stay married to you. I want a divorce."
"You what? How could you do that?" he asked outraged.
"I think the real question is, how could I not?" Sakura retorted. "Any normal person would have you know!"
Koji opened his mouth to say something when all of a sudden the doorbell rang. Out of rage of what he just heard. Koji walked away to go and answer the door. When he answered it, he saw Tadashi standing there out of breath. It was obvious he had gotten here as fast as he could. Sakura walked up behind him and saw Tadashi standing there.
"Tadashi!" she called over to him.
"What are you doing here?" Koji growled at him.
Tadashi was taken aback at his tone but spoke in a calm voice, "I got a call from the chief that there was something going on here."
"Well you can leave because there is noth-" Koji started until Sakura interrupted him.
"You need to arrest Koji Tadashi!"
"What?" Tadashi asked confused. Why would he need to arrest Koji?
"He's the murderer! He's the one that's been killing the women in the fore-" Sakura ranted until Koji came and slapped her across the face. Tadashi and Sakura looked at him with wide eyes. He had hit her!
"Shut up! How can you do this to me?" he yelled at her.
"You deserve to be behind bars!" Sakura shouted back.
"You have no proof that I did anything wrong!" he continued to argue.
"I saw you! I know exactly where you hid the body, how you did it, and you've been lying to me about working late when I saw you get off at your regular time!"
"Who's going to believe you huh? Like anyone will listen to a woman!"
"Oh, so you're sexist now eh? There are plenty of people who will listen to a woman Koji. And you have everyone you work with against you at one point. They know what time you left work today!" Sakura stated.
At that Koji froze. She was right. Everyone knew what time he left work. Man he was so screwed.
"Let's see if I'm right," Sakura said smugly. "Tadashi, what time did Koji leave work today hmm?"
Tadashi was a little shocked at her question because he hadn't been apart of the conversation. But once he looked at Sakura he knew he could never lie to her. He was in love with her and to him… love was more important than friendship. Even though Koji was his best friend, he was in love with is wife. He didn't care if she ever returned his feelings but he would do anything to show her how much he cared for her. "He left at his usual time, 4:30."
Sakura looked over at Koji in victory with a smug look on her face, "Well, it sure took you a long time to get home tonight. Didn't it?"
Koji's fists went to his sides as he clenched them growling. She had had him there. With the entire police force saying what time he left work and Sakura saying when he got home… he couldn't lie his way out of it. Even with his past of lying to her, instead of getting better, he was getting worse. He had officially run out of stories.
He was just about to respond when sirens were heard. He looked out the window and saw more police cars pulling up in front of his house. He looked over at his wife, who he now officially hated, and his ex-best friend who would sell him out in a heart beat just to be in the same room as his wife.
"Looks like reinforcements have arrived." Tadashi stated running a hand through his spiked black hair. He sighed in frustration. Who would have thought the guy he had known since he was a child would be the maniac that had taken so many lives.
"This is it Koji." Sakura told him looking him right in the eyes.
"Tomoeda police!" an officer shouted as he walked in with is crew. "Who are we here for?"
"Hey Alley Cat, isn't this Koji's house?" another officer asked from behind him.
"I think it is Daichi," the one who was nicknamed Alley Cat answered.
"That's because we're here to arrest Koji you guys," Tadashi told him.
Both men looked over at Koji wide-eyed. "Arrest Koji? Why?" Daichi asked clueless.
"Koji's the one that's been killing all the women," Sakura told him glaring at her husband.
"What the hell Koji! Is it true?" Alley Cat asked bewildered. He never thought it would have been one of his friends from work.
Koji couldn't look them in the eyes. "Oh god…" Daichi muttered.
"I saw him." Sakura told them to try and convince them more.
Alley Cat sighed walking over and behind Koji. He slapped some handcuffs around his wrists and said the usual procedure. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do will be used aga-" he was cut off by Koji as they started to walk out the door.
"I know okay! I know!" he shouted at him angry. "Sakura! This is your entire fault! If they lock me up… I'll find a way out and get back at you Sakura. You can guarantee it."
Alley Cat shook his head as he continued to walk out with Koji and put him in the backseat of the police car. He was waiting for his partner. 'He's probably hitting on his wife right now.' He thought. Everyone on the force was attracted to Koji's wife and would probably take any chance possible to try and put the moves on her.
He looked at the door for a few more seconds when Daichi came out with an unhappy look on his face. He opened the passenger's door and sat down. You could hear Koji mumbling in the backseat, but they ignored him.
"What took you so long?" he asked.
"She kicked me out," he mumbled with a disappointed look on his face. "I told her I could comfort her after what she has just gone through after having to send her husband to jail. And she told me to get out! So not fair! Tadashi is still in there!"
Alley Cat could only chuckle at his friend. He patted him on the back while he pulled out of the driveway, "Tough luck man, tough luck."
Both completely ignored the fact that they had her husband right behind them.
Syaoran was in his apartment sitting on the couch channel surfing. For some reason, there was just nothing to watch. After awhile, channel surfing got boring and he just left it on a channel. It wasn't until a few minutes later that he realized it was the history channel.
He sighed and just decided to leave it there. No use in wasting the batteries in his remote.
Right when he was about to actually listen to the program, his phone rang. Sighing he lazily got up and walked over to the phone and picked it up. Not even bothering with a nice greeting, he tiredly spoke into the phone. "Hello."
"Is this Syaoran Li?" a man asked on the other line.
"Yeah," he spoke in the same bored tone.
"You're the PI working on the serial killer right?" the man asked.
"Uh huh." Syaoran answered again. Why would he want to know about his case?
"Well we have a suspect here down at the police station. His wife says she saw him murder a woman in the forest and he doesn't seem to deny it either. Since you're working on the case, I thought I should call and tell you."
At that, Syaoran snapped out of his tired state. He couldn't believe that this case might be over… FINALLY! "Are you serious?"
"Yes, we have him here at the station now. If I give you the address, could you interview the woman?"
"Yes of course," Syaoran agreed. He couldn't believe he might actually get off this case! He hoped this woman was telling the truth.
"Okay, it's 267 Selkirk Crescent. And her name is Sakura Tzu."
"Okay thanks." Syaoran thanked him and then hung up. He had wrote down all what he was just told. This had just made his night. Tomorrow he would speak with this woman and see if whatever she says makes sense. Life was good. He might finally be able to start on a new case soon.
But all of that would only be possible after he met with a certain Sakura Tzu…
Sakura watched as they drove out of her driveway. She was shaking. Koji's words had scared her.
"If they lock me up… I'll find a way out and get back at you Sakura. You can guarantee it."
She shuddered remembering the hate in his voice as he said it. How could she have ever thought that man was perfect when he was obviously demented? She for sure, didn't know.
She looked over to Tadashi who was still standing in the house with her. He was her friend and was always there to make her feel better when Koji wasn't. And right now she needed a friend, which was why she hadn't sent him home yet.
She started to cry. All the feelings she had bottled up that night were finally coming out. Tadashi came over and wrapped his arms around her letting her cry in his chest.
"I thought we were happy… why would he want to do that? How could I have not realized it?" she sobbed.
"He had us all fooled Sakura. Not just you. Hell, he's my best friend and I didn't know. Well… ex-best friend now," Tadashi reassured her.
"One thing's for sure, we're so getting a divorce. I don't want anyone calling me by his last name ever again. I'm going by Kinomoto again," Sakura said after awhile. Tadashi felt like jumping for joy at her saying she wanted a divorce from Koji, but held it in. He knew that right then wasn't the time to celebrate. "God, what am I going to tell Sumiko?"
"You'll think of something," Tadashi reassured her holding her tighter. "I know you will."
"Oh Tadashi, I am so lucky to have you as a friend." Sakura sighed calming down.
Tadashi froze after that. She still only sees me as a friend? Is that all I'll ever be to her? He questioned himself. He never let go of Sakura taking the chance to have her in his arms, but he never voiced his thoughts. "Yeah, well I'd do anything for you Sakura."
"Thank you," she whispered.
Before she sent him home later that night the only thoughts running through Sakura's head were:
"I sent my husband to jail, and now he wants revenge."
TBC
Well, here's the fourth chapter. I know lots of you wanted Syaoran to be the one to come to Sakura's house, but then there would be someone there to say Koji was lying about working late. Plus I wanted to add the part about how Tadashi and Koji weren't really that close even though they were best friends. I got the idea from a book I read about the best friend being in love with the wife and they had an affair. The friend's relationship was kind of the same as Koji and Tadashi's but I changed it a bit. Also you don't have to worry, there will be no Sakura and Tadashi. He's kind of just in the story… you know, like the friend that never gets noticed by the one they want to be noticed by? Anyways, I promise Syaoran and Sakura will finally meet in the next chapter. Read and Review! Ciao!
