Recap of Chapter 13…
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.
Chapter 14: I Love You
Tadashi looked at the clock in his house. Koji had been gone for a long time. He wondered what his little convict of a friend was doing right now. He hoped he had a disguise on.
He sat around his house for a few minutes longer before he decided to head out and look for him. Tomoeda wasn't that big so he could find him if he were out on the streets. He stood up, grabbed his car keys and left the house to look for his friend.
He was driving right by Koji's old house when he saw him walking up to the door.

Koji didn't realize what was going on when the car pulled up in front of the house he was about to walk into. He hadn't even noticed the car was there until he heard a familiar voice softly calling his name.
"Koji," the voice called.
Koji turned around and saw Tadashi sitting in his car staring at him. He walked over to him, "Hey Tadashi."
"What are you doing?" Tadashi growled angrily. "Do you want Sakura and that guy to see you? To know you escaped from prison?"
"I want to get this over with tonight," Koji stated seriously.
"What do you mean?" Tadashi asked confused. He was really starting to wonder how crazy this man really was.
"I saw her," Koji said brokenly. "I saw her on her date with that guy. I want to kill her before I have to deal with seeing them together again."
"What were you expecting to do?" Tadashi asked raising an eyebrow. "Charge in there with that gun in your hand and say 'I'm going to kill you now cause I can't stand seeing you with another man even though we're divorced'?"
"I hadn't really thought that far…" Koji said looking down embarrassed.
Tadashi rolled his eyes at his friend and said in a comforting voice, "I'll go in with you and watch your back."
Koji looked up at him with a shocked expression on his face, "I never thought I'd be hearing something like that from you."
"What do you mean?" Tadashi asked confused.
"You're different. Ever since you helped me out of that hellhole. It's like Sakura rejecting you made you a new man."
Tadashi got a dark look in his eyes when Koji reminded him about Sakura rejecting him, "Well people change and certain events in our lives is what causes that change."
"Whatever man," Koji muttered. "Let's just get this over with."
"Right behind you," Tadashi said getting out of his car and the two men headed into the house.

Sakura was cuddling with Syaoran on the couch. She still couldn't get her mind off of the man she saw in the restaurant. He was so mysterious and she got a bad vibe from him. She had been quiet since they got here thinking about that stranger.
"What's wrong?" Syaoran asked snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Hmm?"
"You're quiet," Syaoran stated.
"It's nothing," Sakura said, she didn't want to worry him with her thoughts about the man she saw.
"Liar," Syaoran said, "tell me what's really bothering you."
Sakura sighed, "It's just that, I saw this man in the restaurant and he looked familiar but I couldn't place him and, I don't know, he gave me a bad vibe."
"I think you're worrying about nothing," Syaoran told her comfortingly.
"Maybe you're right," Sakura sighed, "it's probably just my imagination."
"You could be wrong," a voice that was foreign to them spoke from the doorway to the living room. Sakura knew that voice all too well. She looked hesitantly at who was standing in the doorway and almost fainted at the site.
Koji stood there in the doorway glaring at her. She started to shake and Syaoran put his hand on her shoulder to try and calm her down. "Wh- wha- what are you doing here?" Sakura stuttered.
"It's time for you to pay Sakura," Koji said walking into the room.
"Don't come any closer," Syaoran said standing up and blocking his path from coming any closer to Sakura.
"Who are you to tell me what to do?" Koji sneered. "This is my house too you know."
"You're not welcomed here Koji!" Sakura yelled standing up and getting behind Syaoran.
"I don't care if I am or not," Koji glared at them. "I just came to do one thing." After he said that, he started to advance closer to them making Sakura step back in fear while Syaoran stayed put not wanting him to pass and get near her.
"I won't let you get near her," Syaoran stated glaring at the man that had made his way in front of him.
"That's why he has help," another voice called from the doorway. Sakura and Syaoran looked in the direction of the voice and saw Tadashi standing there with a smirk on his face.
"Tadashi?" Sakura asked with her eyes wide. "What are you doing here?"
"Giving my buddy here a hand," Tadashi stated gesturing over to Koji making Koji smirk at Syaoran.
"I thought you were supposed to be an officer of the law," Syaoran narrowed his eyes.
Tadashi shrugged and simply said, "So was Koji."
Syaoran growled angrily, "You'll pay for helping him."
"Meh, I was the one who helped him out of jail too, so what," Tadashi said like it was no big deal.
"How could you?" Sakura asked appalled at what he had done.
"Because Koji needed to see what his wife had been up to while he was gone, as you can see, he wasn't too happy with what he saw," Tadashi answered.
"Bastard!" Syaoran yelled starting to attack Koji since Tadashi was still on the other side of the room. Koji was too fast being used to getting into fights in prison and moved out of the way before he could hit him.
Syaoran stumbled from missing his target so Koji took this opportunity to go over to Sakura. Before Syaoran could do anything about it, Tadashi was already starting to pick a fight with him.
The two men were practically rolling around on the floor fighting with the other. Neither of them wanted to lose. Syaoran wanted to get the fight over with so he could help Sakura, but Tadashi wouldn't give up.
While they were fighting, Sakura was moving back in fear while Koji was getting closer to her. He had the scariest look in his eyes that made her shudder.
"It was you I saw in the restaurant," she said. "Wasn't it?"
"Of course," Koji stated in a cold voice. "Who else could it have been? Santa Clause?"
"Why do you want to do this Koji?" Sakura asked getting scared that she was getting closer to the wall.
"You ruined my life when you sent me away," Koji continued to speak coldly to her. "I loved you and you sent me away."
"I couldn't live with a murderer," Sakura said softly with tears in her eyes. "Did you think it didn't hurt me too? I was hurt that you would do something like that behind my back!"
"You wouldn't have understood! I thought I was helping them!" Koji shouted angrily at her.
"How is destroying their lives helping them?" Sakura asked, she was terrified now; she had now hit the wall and had nowhere else to go.
"I can't explain it," Koji stated. "I thought I was sending them to a better place, that's all."
"But you hurt your family!" Sakura cried. "What about your daughter? She has to live the rest of her life knowing her father was a killer!"
"She can get over it," Koji grumbled. "But she's going to have to do it without her mother." As he said that he pulled out the gun he had hidden from her and held in front of her.
Sakura froze. Everything in her mind went blank when he showed her that gun. She swallowed a lump that was beginning to form in her throat and squeaked, "Koji, don't be to hasty now."
"I'm not here to play games Sakura," Koji stated cocking back the gun getting ready to fire.
"I don't think you're going to shoot me Koji," Sakura said taking a deep breath and started to walk forward. She had an idea and she could only hope it would work.
"And why don't you?" Koji asked starting to get a little nervous holding the gun.
"I just don't," Sakura whispered. She continued to walk closer until she was right in front of him.
Syaoran and Tadashi had stopped their brawl on the floor to see what was going on between the once happy couple. They saw that Koji had the gun pointed at Sakura and she was just walking closer.
"Sakura what are you doing?" Syaoran asked scared for her life. He just had a feeling one of them was going to die tonight; he just hoped it wasn't Sakura. "Get away from him!"
"Come on Koji!" Tadashi yelled after Syaoran had finished. "Just get it over with so we can go!"
"Shut the hell up!" Syaoran shouted and punched Tadashi in the face and they continued to fight.
"Why don't you think I'm going to kill you?" Koji asked trying to get a hold of him self and kept the gun pointed at Sakura's abdomen.
Sakura was now standing right in front of Koji and his gun. She silently hoped her plan would work. "Because Koji, I love you."
She had said it so softly like it had been said straight from the heart with a small smile but everyone in the room had heard her. All the men were so shocked they froze at everything they were doing. Syaoran and Tadashi had stopped their fighting on the floor and stared while Koji stood frozen holding the gun, he was no longer aware of what was happening. He couldn't believe she had said she loved him.
All of a sudden the silence in the room had been ended by a gunshot. Koji fell to the floor holding a bloody wound on his chest. Tadashi and Syaoran pulled away from their fight and limped over and watched as Koji gasped for breath while Sakura stood there holding the gun that had once been in Koji's hand.
"You…tricked…me…" he rasped out. "You…told…me…you…loved…me…only…to…grab…my gun."
Sakura had tears welling up in her eyes as she dropped the gun. She had thought that if she could do something to stun Koji long enough she could grab the gun and beat him to the shot. Her plan had worked but now she felt guilty because she knew he was going to die. He may have deserved it, but it didn't stop the guilt. "I'm sorry."
"I am…too," Koji whispered before he closed his eyes forever.
"Koji!" Tadashi cried over his fallen friend.
"I'm calling the police," stated Syaoran. He walked over to the phone in the living room and called the police. Tadashi was too busy mourning Koji to notice that he called the police.
Syaoran walked over to Sakura who was sitting on the couch in tears. She couldn't believe she had actually killed a man! To make it worse, her ex-husband!
He sat down beside her and wrapped his arms around her pulling her beside him and she placed her head on his shoulder. "The police are on their way."
"It's finally over isn't it? Koji's always going to haunt me in my dreams now," Sakura sniffled.
"No he won't," Syaoran said softly. "He's going to a place where he can never bother you again."
The police arrived and called the paramedics to take Koji's lifeless body and took Tadashi away. Sakura and Syaoran were finally alone together without any interruptions.
"Syaoran," Sakura said quietly. She had finally stopped her crying.
"Yeah?" he asked gently.
"I love you," she said hugging him to her burying her face into his chest. "Don't ever leave me please."
"I love you too Sakura," Syaoran said wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer to him. "And I don't plan on ever leaving you."
