Recap of chapter 12…
"You want to come in? Sumi is staying at my dad's tonight."
"I think I will," Syaoran replied and they both got out of the car.
Chapter 13: I Did What I Did Because…
It had been a month since Syaoran and Sakura had gotten together and Tadashi had finally been able to get Koji out of jail. He had used his computer skills to hack into files to transfer Koji to another prison, except Koji would really be coming to stay with him. He had been afraid at first that he wouldn't get away with it, but it sure paid to become an officer of law so he knew a few things about what he was doing. He thought this was as good a time as any to have Koji finally out since he had found out about Sakura's new relationship.
He had also heard she had finally gotten enough nerve to tell Sumiko about Koji and why he wasn't around and why she was with that boyfriend now. He could never remember his name. It was Li something wasn't it? He shook the thoughts out of his head and looked at the man sitting on his couch.
"So what's the plan of action?" he asked Koji.
Time in prison had really done something to Koji. His black hair had gotten longer, it had once been short but now was starting to come down his neck, he had a bit of a beard because he hadn't been shaving while he was locked up, and he was a lot bigger now, he had been built before but because they made them work out more in the prison his muscles were even bigger. All in all, he was pretty scary looking now; there was something about the convicts that made them scary to look at, even if you had known them all your life.
"Simple, I want to kill Sakura," Koji said in an emotionless voice.
Tadashi held back a wince when he heard Koji's tone. He didn't like the idea of Koji killing Sakura, but she had to pay for rejecting him for someone else, so he was going to allow this.
"And how are you planning on doing that?" Tadashi asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I was just planning on shooting her," Koji answered.
"Come on man, are you sure you really want to kill her?" Tadashi asked. He was now starting to regret letting Koji out. "I mean you loved her."
"The key word there is loved," Koji said with a glare. He hated talking about how much he used to love Sakura. "That disappeared the day she sent me away."
"I think you're lying," Tadashi stated crossing his arms over his chest. "I think you still love her but you're angry for her getting you arrested so you like to say you don't love her when really you're just hurt."
Koji stared at him and then looked down at his lap. He was quiet for a few moments before he finally spoke again, "You should have become a shrink."
Tadashi smirked in triumph, "So I'm right?"
Koji nodded his head sadly, "I love her so much but after what she did… I just feel that getting rid of her will make us even."
"Why do think it will make you even?" Tadashi asked confused.
"She ended my life when she sent me away, so now I have to end hers."
"Man, you have issues," Tadashi sighed. "Why did you do it anyway?"
"Do what?" Koji asked.
"Kill all those girls."
"Oh," Koji sighed. "I guess, I just thought I was doing them a favor. I mean their lives couldn't be that great if they were nothing but prostitutes so I thought death would make them happy."
Tadashi just stared at him. He couldn't even think of anything to say to Koji about what he just said.
"You can say something anytime you know," Koji grumbled.
"You deserved to get locked up."

Syaoran was sitting in his office at work. He couldn't wait until it was time to go home, he was taking Sakura out again tonight. He didn't know why he had to come in today; he had no case to work on. It had been slow for a while.
He was sitting at his desk fiddling with a pen. It had always been a habit of his when he got bored.
Just then, Eriol walked into the room. He sat down in the chair across from him on the other side of his desk.
"What do you want?" Syaoran asked the minute he sat down.
Eriol put on an offended look, "What? I need a reason to come and see my best friend?"
"Yes," Syaoran said.
"That hurt man," Eriol said while putting his hand over his heart.
"Do you think I care?" Syaoran asked.
"Point taken," Eriol nodded. "So how've you been?"
"Fine," Syaoran stated.
"How's your girlfriend?" Eriol continued to ask questions.
"She's fine," Syaoran smiled when he thought of Sakura. "I'm taking her out later."
Eriol nodded, "And her kid?"
"She doesn't mind me being around," Syaoran told him. "What are you trying to get at Eriol?"
Eriol sighed, "I need a place to stay tonight."
Syaoran raised an eyebrow, "Why? You have a house with your wife."
"She kicked me out!" Eriol cried.
"Now why would she do that?" Syaoran asked with raised eyebrows.
"It's only temporary I swear! She'll let me back in soon I know it!" Eriol continued.
"But Eriol, why did she kick you out?"
Eriol looked down and started playing with his fingers, "You know how Tomoyo can get pretty emotional and gets really mad over the smallest things?"
Syaoran nodded.
Eriol sighed and continued, "She freaked out when I forgot our anniversary. She told me to get out and not come back for a few days."
"You forgot your anniversary? That's never good man," Syaoran shook his head at him.
"I know! And I didn't mean to! But I did and now my wife who makes problems out of nothing told me not to come back until she's cooled down."
"And you want to stay with me?" Syaoran asked.
"Well I thought it would be cheaper than a motel," Eriol shrugged.
Syaoran shook his head at his friend. He had to make the mistake of marrying Tomoyo…"Alright, you can stay with me, but this better be only temporary."
"Thank you!" Eriol jumped up from his chair. "Now I have to go buy flowers and give them to Tomoyo!"
With that he ran out of the room leaving Syaoran alone. Thinking about his friend and his wife made him start to wonder what it would be like if he got married. If he ever made a mistake and forgot something like an anniversary, would his wife pull the same thing as Tomoyo? He hoped not.

Sakura had just finished getting ready for her date with Syaoran tonight. Sumiko had asked to stay at her father's again tonight, which she had gladly agreed to.
She had been happy that her daughter had seemed to get attached to Syaoran so quickly. She had taken the news pretty had at first. She had seen her kiss him and was wondering what was going on because the man she ever saw her kiss was Koji. That was when Sakura had to explain to her about how she and Koji had gotten a divorce. She also had to explain what a divorce was. She then had to explain about Koji being arrested. It had been difficult for the four-year-old to understand what her father had done, but she finally did and Sakura had never been happier because she no longer had to lie to her.
She heard the doorbell ring and knew that Syaoran was here now. She grabbed her purse and jacket and raced to the door.
"Hey," she smiled.
"Hey," he smiled back. "Ready to go?"
"Yup," she said while walking out and closing the door.
They got into Syaoran's car and headed to the restaurant. They had been enjoying themselves and just loving each other's company.
Sakura then caught site of someone in the restaurant. He had a hat on and she couldn't see his face, but something told her she knew him. She frowned to herself wondering who it could be.
"What's the matter?" Syaoran asked seeing her frown.
Sakura was snapped out of her thoughts of the man and looked over to Syaoran and smiled a small smile and shook her head, "It's nothing."
Syaoran didn't believe her but decided to let it go for now.
'Who is he?' Sakura asked herself.

Koji had been watching her. He had wanted to see how she was since he was gone. He had followed her as she had come to this restaurant with that man. He watched as she looked happy and couldn't help but feel angry. That used to be him sitting with her, but not anymore.
How could Sakura just start seeing someone else? They had been together for so long. Tadashi was right; she had found a new love.
He saw when she looked over at him and started to stare. He saw her frown as if trying to see if she knew who he was and he was happy that he wore a hat to hide who he was.
He watched them longer and saw them get up. They went to go pay and left the restaurant. He got up after them and followed. He watched as the guy took her home and she invited him into THEIR house. The guy went in and he had an idea of what they were doing in there. He decided he was going to get everything over with tonight.
Tonight he was finally going to get even with Sakura. He checked to see if his gun was loaded and walked towards the house.
