Eriol: oh, my sweet, do not worry, for you shall never fall in these eyes of mine
Tomoyo: -- gives Eriol a deadly stare --
Syaoran : shut up shakespeare
Sakura: CAN WE GET ON WITH THE STORY NOW
--everyone stares--
syaoran: wow ... sure ..
on with the story ..
"Moyo, are you guys done yet, we need to go, hurry it up!" An anxious Syaoran called out from the car.
" WAIT, jeez we're coming." screamed Tomoyo as she locked the door " I SWEAR YOU HAVE NO DAMN PATIENCE."
As they headed for the car, Sakura looked around. The area looked so familiar to her, but she couldnt put her finger on it. She kept getting this feeling, as if she had been here before, but how could that be possible? She never knew anyone who lived here, ever.
Sakura smiled as she heard Tomoyo yelling at Syaoran to stop being such a "sourpickle" and to put on some damn music. (a/n sourpickle LOL .. hehe i love that its so old fashioned XD)
"shut up Moyo," he replied to her as he tuned the radio to the early morning news.
"ugh, soo Sakura do you go to the same school as Syaoran?"
"well NO REALLY," said a peeved Syaoran " How else the hell would I know her ?"
"O .. I thought u just looked in her agenda."
"wow Moyo ... wow .. "
"Oh shut up Syao," replied Tomoyo
There was silence in the car for a while, but that was soon pierced by Tomoyo's scream
"OMG! I just remembered! Theres this new boutique open down at WestBridge mall. We have to goo !. you wanna come Sakura? We'll go after school with Syao, and then we can drop you off home from there?"
"umm sure"
"Wait, who said I'm gonna take you?" Syaoran questioned turning around
" Oh you will, or else i'll just tell mom." Tomoyo said as the car came to a stop.
"Get out." replied Syaoran with a straight face
"huh?"
"Get-out .. of-the-car. .. "
" Syao? .. what? wait ... I didn't mean that. why do you have to be so serious all the time?"
" Will you get out of the car, damn, Melissa's waiting for you ..." he said with a big grin on his face
"Ohhhhh," replied Tomoyo as she turned to see her friend. "heh, kk BYE" she waved, running out of the car and onto the motorcycle.
"Bye," replied Syaoran " hey Sakura, is it okay if we make a stop before we head for the zoo? .. I gotta go meet a friend ... "
"uh .. sure " she replied. Sakura could feel her heartbeat picking up, what if they were going to Michaels house? What if he was gonna take her back or something? What if, what if .. so many what ifs
Calm yourself, he took you away from Michael, why would he take you back?
"Lets go." Syaoran finally said getting out of the car.
As they got into the elevator of the apartment Syaoran noticed that Sakura was shaking
what the hell is wrong with HER?
"Hey, you okay?"
"Hmm? y- yea I'm fine." she replied her emerald green eyes filled with fear
"Dont worry, nothing's gonna happen."
"..." Sakura nodded her head slowly
--At jerials place-- (a/n nothing happened while they were walking, im just too lazy to write about it ... yea now they've magically appeared at jerials place :P )
"Is that her?" Jerial asked as he let Syaoran and Sakura into the house
"mhhm," replied Syaoran slowly, he noticed Sakura go stiff
"Hi, Im Jerial."
"umm. Hi, I'm Sakura."
"Yes .. I know. Please do come in and make yourself comfortable."
"Thank you."
Sakura sat on the couch in the living room taking in her surroundings. It was a pretty odd apartment. From the outside it looked very rugged and done in, but from the inside, it was the complete opposite. The living room, vast in size had been painted light green, with many paintings around the walls. There was a big screen TV in the corner, and the couches were all arranged to face it, pretty obvious, this was the case in every american household. As she took in the greatness of the paintings, her eyes stopped and her breath caught. How could she not have noticed it before? There right infront of her, on the wall were two katanas. They were magnificent, and shown bright as the sunlight hit them. Most likely unused she thought, but what had scared her wasnt the swords, it was the micro uzi set up right under them and this most certainly did NOT look unused. Certainly it looked clean and new, but there was something about it and you could tell that it was anything BUT new. Sakura sighed averting her attention back to the two boys. (a/n for all those who dont know a katana is a type of sword, and a micro-uzi is a very powerful smg semi-machine gun )
"Okay im not gonna beat around the bush," Jerial said with a soft tone, his emerald eyes staring into hers " I asked Syaoran to bring you here so that I could hear from YOUR mouth what happened yesterday.If thats okay with you?"
"Yesterday? O please dont worry about it, i-it was nothing ." Sakura replied with fear that he may tell Michael that she told, and he might just come after her again. she DIDNT need to go through that nightmare, not again.
"Excuse me?" he replied with deep confusion and a hint of anger " Im not gonna be "nice" and call it molestation. You were almost raped, and you want this guy to go free? Why would you want this? Unless you liked it .. ?"
"WHAT?" roared Syaoran "What the hell are you saying Jerial, LOOK at her. Do you really think she LIKED it? Jeez man, you'r more retarded then I thought." he said striding over to Sakura "listen. Just tell him what happen, he'll take care of it. I know you think he'll tell Michael, and Michael will come after you again. I promise you he wont, and if he does I PROMISE I'll be there." He said sitting by her staring into her eyes. There was something about them.
Sakura looked in his eyes, they were too caring, very different from how they were at school. She had noticed him a few times sitting there on his desk with a blank and scary look in his eyes as though he were about to kill someone, staring always staring, but at nothing. It seemed as though she could trust him, and so the story leaked out, as well as the tears, starting from the first slap she had laid on Michaels face.
"I am sorry, please forgive me. I did not mean to say that you enjoyed, the uh -- trauma. I was merely trying to get you to open up." Jerial whispered after he had heard the story. The house was silent and so was he. He had not meant it. But then, it had been so long since he had last trusted a female, he didn't know how to treat one. He HAD been too rough, but that was not his fault .. or was it? All these years of fighting, and interrogating gangsters had turned him into .. this. He hadnt meant it at all.
"its okay .. i understand," Sakura whispered back, garbbing a tissue she wiped her face, and excused herself to the washroom.
"its upstairs, second room on your left." said Syaoran. He didnt need to tell her, she already knew. How? Thats what she DIDN'T know. But she would figure it out .. eventually. All questions are answered in due time, arent they?
As Sakura came out of the washroom she heard moaning, it was coming from right behind her. She turned to her left in time to see a figure fall to the floor. Sakura screamed and ran towards the figure, it was an old lady. She had white hair, but enough red to say that her real hair colour was probably red. She looked sort of like Jerial but then again she didnt. Her skin was very pale and she herself seemed extremely frail and small. Her glasses lay half a meter away.
"H- hello, Tomoyo?" she said opening her deep blue eyes " How nice of you to come and visit dear. Its been so long since I last saw you. My you look exceptional. you grow beautiful every day." she smiled.
" I - umm. Sorry. I'm Sakura," Sakura replied handing the glasses to the lady just in time for Jerial to come up and put them on her.
"Mama, are you ok?" he asked his voice dripping with worry.
"yes yes dear Im perfectly alright." she replied smiling." Now, who is this young lady? And why is she so pretty?"
Sakura blushed.
"This is Sakura, Syaorans friend. He just came to visit."
"Oh. He came to visit. And where is he? Please tell him to come up, mother has to give him a good whacking."
"Yes? Ms. Alayqua" smiled Syaoran walking up the stairs.
"Oh my dear, how you have grown!." she said smiling and hugging him "It has been much too long, why did you not come to visit sooner?"
"Im sorry, mom is in the hospital. We cant seem to find time enough to go anywhere but there" replied Syaoran. Sakura noticed his eyes become cold and hard once again, all the compassion gone.
"Oh, why, may I ask is she in the hospital, dear?"
"Sh- she fell down the stairs"
"Oh my! Well please send her my best regards, and tell her to get better soon and to come visit me. Could you possible leave her hospital number with Jerial? i would like to meet her."
"Um .. sure .. "
"Alright, well this little visit was a tad bit of a lovely surprise, but now I must sleep. Dare I say it, this old age makes me tired if I lift the slightest bit of my finger." She said smiling and waving at them as she walked into her room and closed the door.
After Syaoran had given the directions to Jerial they headed out, only to be stopped at the door once again by Jerial.
"you didn need to lie to her," he said to Syaoran
"I did, i-if I told her, then she would remember. You dont need her to remember."
"Thanks man, 'preciate it." Jerial replied with a small smile, and a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Any time" replied Syaoran as they headed out for the car on their way to the zoo.
