Chapter 9: Runaway

"Hey sis, so, mother's back. She knows everything." Mei Lin smirked.

"But……" Sakura mumbled out. Yes! Sakura's worse day had come. Fyurei has returned. And, you wanna know what? All of Sakura's things were lying outside. Her bag, clothes and all was lying there. Mei Lin smirked at her.

"What? So, do you think you can handle this?" Fyurei asked. Sakura knelt down and started to take her stuff quietly and stuffed it to any of her bags. She did this without a word.

"What's wrong Sakura? Giving up?" Mei Lin asked.

"Hmph, she'll start to cry." Fyurei said. Then, when Sakura finished putting all her stuff to some of her bags, she looked at them and smiled.

"Listen here!" She said as she pointed at both of them. "I won't be under your control anymore when I'm free and (smiles) I will be strong." She took all her bags and walked away.

"Whatever you say, Sakura." Mei Lin said as she faced back to their house. "Whatever you say……………….." Fyurei closed the door and Sakura face the world alone. But, all she kept muttering was,

"I am strong." But, the night grew bitter cold. It was a little pass 8'o clock. Sakura felt that it was time to stop walking. She reached an abandoned playground and went there.

"What am I going to do?" Sakura asked herself. "Now, I'm all alone. Alone, here, what is going to happen to me here? Will I survive? What if……………………" Sakura shook her head. "No, I will be strong! I can't loose!" She kept encouraging herself. But, she knows that she's scared. She's very scared.

"What will happen to me here?" She mumbled when she fell to sleep. Then, after a small while, someone shook her.

"Sakura? Sakura?" The voice asked out as he shook her body. Sakura mumbled something out of her breath. She faced away. "Come on Sakura, wake up." He said again. But, Sakura didn't open her eyes. She was scared. She was already awake the moment he shook her body.

"No………." She muttered out.

"Sakura, wake up, it's me, Eriol." He said. Sakura wasn't sure if he was really Eriol, so she didn't open her eyes. "Sakura, Sakura?" Eriol kept asking. Sakura gave up. She opened her eyes and rubbed it. She was very relieved to see it was really Eriol.

"Sakura, what the heck are you doing here? In the middle of the night for all times?" Eriol asked.

"Oh….." Sakura muttered out.

"And, what's with these bags?" Eriol asked again.

"I…………………uhm………….."

"Sakura?"

"I…………..Uhm…………….Mei Lin…………. Errrrrrrrrrrr..."

"Sakura? Come on, tell me the truth." Eriol asked again.

"Well, sigh can we just go to your place?" Sakura pleaded.

"Sure, just as long you carry your bags." Eriol smiled. Sakura fell anime style.

"Joke, I'll carry them for you." Eriol said as he took all her bags and walked on.

Sakura followed him with a big jolly smile. They reached Eriol and Li's apartment. They walked in and went to their room.

"So, do you live with Li?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, we do." Eriol said as he turned the handle of the door.

"Uhm, you sleep together?"

"What?" Eriol exclaimed.

"HEY! SOME OF US ARE SLEEPING HERE!" The others neighbors shouted at them.

"Oh, sorry, I shouldn't have asked that." Sakura apologized.

"Well, it's ok with me." Eriol sighed. He opened the door and went in. "Hope you feel at home here."

"Hmmm, I think I will." Sakura smiled as she went in. It was a simple apartment. The time you enter in, you'll see a simple sala. A long white couch and 2 small ones, there's also a medium sized T .V. and as small glass table in the middle. Then, next to it is the kitchen, also very simple. Then, at it's side in three rooms.

"Uhm…..So, where's Li?" Sakura asked, with a faint shade of red.

"I think he's sleeping now." Eriol said. "You want me to wake him up?" Sakura couldn't answer the question. She wanted to say yes but, that would be rude, and what kind of idea would Eriol think of her.

"Uhm…………..Well……….." Sakura mumbled. She looked at Eriol who was smiling. He knew exactly what she thought.

"Don't worry," Eriol said. "I'll wake him up." Sakura smiled at him as he gave her a bow. He walked to the room, a little to the left before the kitchen and opened it.

"Uhm, Sakura?" Eriol called out.

"Yeah?" Sakura answered.

"This might take a little while." Eriol smiled. Sakura, not knowing what he meant, just smiled and nodded. Eriol wne inside and closed the door quietly.

"I wonder what he just meant by that…." Sakura muttered in her head. Eriol quietly walked to the sleeping Chinese. He placed his mouth upon his ears and…………….

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He shouted out.

"WHAT THE HELL!" Li shouted back as he fell from his bed.

"(smiles) It's nice to know you're awake already, cous." Eriol smiled.

"ERIOL! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!" He shouted back.

"Well, we have a guest." Eriol replied.

"Thank for the info, but next time, try not shouting at me!" Li shot back. He stood up,

still in his PJ's, well, not much, just a plain navy blue top and down. His hair is messier than always and his amber eyes were tired.

"Well, I'll try that." Eriol said.

"Yup." Li pulled his cousin out of the door as he went out to. "So, who's the one who woke me up?" He asked. Eriol pointed at the Emerald eyed girl sitting on the white couch.

"Sakura?" Li called out.

"Oh! Hi Li." Sakura smiled. "Well, I meant good evening."

"What are you doing here?" Li asked as he walked near, still pulling Eriol.

"Uhm……………" Sakura couldn't answer. "Well…………………."

"Well what?" Li asked.

"Why don't we just sit down while I make some coffee." Eriol suggested.

"Yeah, go do that." Li replied as he sat with Sakura. Eriol went to do what he said.

"Sakura, why in the world are you here?" Li asked.

"Err…………….." Sakura muttered out.

After awhile………..

"What? Fyurei's back?" Li asked as he sipped some of his coffee.

"Yeah." Sakura quietly answered.

"So, Sakura, she threw you out?" Eriol asked.

"Well," sips some of her coffee, "Not really, I threw myself out."

"HUH? Why do that?" Li asked.

"Well, Mei Lin put all my stuff outside of our, I mean their house. Then, I saw Fyurei.

She was really back and she gave me the creeps! I knew I couldn't survive another day so I decided to go. And now, you see me here." Sakura explained.

"Well, I think you did the right thing." Li commented.

"Even so, Fyurei is still her legal mom." Eriol said with a serious voice.

"What do you mean, Eriol?" Li asked. Sakura nodded with him.

"sigh Whatever we do, we can't let Sakura let go of Fyurei's grip of Sakura." Eriol paused to drink some on his coffee. "They were married Sakura, right?"

"Yeah, they were." Sakura lowered her head.

"So, it means we can't just take Sakura in like that." Eriol brought out. "Fyurei is still Sakura's mom and Mei Lin is still her sister. There's just nothing we can do. Got that?"

"But, isn't there anything we can do?" Li asked.

"There is, but, it would be difficult." Eriol replied.

"How?" Sakur asked.

"You see, we might bring up a case of Child Abuse to her, but not to Mei Lin, she's underage." Eriol explained.

"Well, that sounds easy enough." Li said. "I don't think we'll have a problem with that."

"Yeah, but that's what you think." Eriol replied.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Sakura asked.

"You see, Fyurei isn't that easy to beat." Eriol added.

"Eriol? What are you talking about?" Li asked once more.

"Like I said, Fyurei isn't easy to beat. She's very well know and it seems that she's prepared for these things before they could even happen." Eriol assumed.

"Come on Eriol, spit the whole thing out!" Li shouted with irritation.

"Yeah Eriol, I really don't like suspense." Sakura added.

"sigh If you say so," Eriol mumbled. "You see, Fyurei is very eminent in the politic world. She's finished law and a lot more. She has a lot friends there and that's why I said she isn't easy to beat. We might have a lot of evidence, but, she won't get much of the punishment she has to endure. She might even be sentenced to be free and not believe us. She also pays if she's like what you said."

"But, where do you find these things?" Li asked in interest.

"I saw it in the internet. I was searching about politics and that's when I saw her name. And you know, a lot in this dirty game respects and trust her with everything." Eriol answered.

"So, what will we do then?" Li asked.

"I haven't thought of that at all." Eriol said. Li sighed as he looked at the T.V.

"Nothing, huh?" He garbled out. Then, he heard a small sound, that not even Eriol heard. It was a silent sob. "Sakura?" He asked as he looked at her. She had her head down and eyes covered with her honey hair.

"Sakura?" Eriol asked as well. Sakura held her school skirt (She's hasn't change, remember? She got lost and hasn't got the time to do so.) tight. Then, tears started falling slowly.

"Not yet, right?" Sakura asked with a fake positive voice. She faced Li and Eriol, her emerald eyes with pearls of water we call tears. "But, we'll think of something right?"

"Sakura…………" Li mumbled out.

"Tell me, we'll think of something, things will work out fine, right?" Sakura asked as she looked at them, staring. "Right?" She asked once more as more tears fell from her eyes.

"Well……….." Li looked at Eriol with his amber eyes. Eriol didn't know what to say or do, he knew that they had a faint chance of getting Fyurei justice or just setting Sakura really free from her grip.

"Li? Eriol? Come on, tell me!" Sakura shouted as she started to sob real heard. "Why? Why can't you answer?" She asked. Li looked at her with worried ruby eyes.

"Sakura………" He muttered once more.

"Why?" She shouted as she hugged Li tight with watery eyes. Li hugged her lightly as she started to weep.

"Why? Why does these things happen to me? Why? Things like this! I hate it! Why? Where did all of this come from……………..my dad? No, that can't be! It just can't be! My father loved me………….but why did he have to go? Why!" Sakura sobbed all what she can in Li's arms.

"Sakura, if I only knew how to help you……………I really wish I do………………." Eriol thought. He stood up and took all the coffee cups to the kitchen.

"Eriol?" Li asked.

"Yeah?" Eriol answered not looking at them, feeling regret that he said those words and hate to see Sakura crying.

"It's ok, it's fine. Don't worry." Li said. "Thanks a lot……………………" A smile crept to Eriol's smooth face.

"No problem, what are cousins and friends for?" Eriol answered as he went on his way. Li smiled as he looked at Sakura, crying her eyes out.

"What are friends for…………………" He thought
