Chapter 4: Realisation
Sakura and Tomoyo were now drenched from the storm, now raging wildly down the street. Dripping from head to toe, they came marching into Sakura's house, cursing their bad luck. Sakura called up the stairs, for she knew her brother was out on a hot date, or so he said, and her father was at work, still.
He had been working overtime way too much. But every time Sakura and Touya told it was a bad idea, he merely used his old excuse that it brings in more money for them.
"Kero, I'm back."
Kero flew lazily down the stairs, yawning.
"You're back. Did you-"
Sakura reached into her jacket pocket and pulled out a mini chocolate cake. Kero swooped over to her hand and snatched the cake away, taking a large chunk out of its side. He flew away upstairs, indulging himself in the hunk of chocolate.
"Sakura, do you mind if I use the bathroom? I gotta dry my hair."
"Sure."
Tomoyo disappeared upstairs, leaving Sakura with her thoughts. Sitting down on the sofa, she again began to think of Wolf.
It seemed strange, somehow. It was like she had met him, but seemed so unfamiliar at the same time. His hair, his attitude, his eyes.
It suddenly hit her. It was him. It had to be.
"How could I have been so blind…but if it is him, why doesn't he remember me?"
Wolf was walking home. In his bag, his bloody clothes (he had changed into another casual outfit, since he didn't want to walk with fresh blood on his top) lay crumpled along with his Hattori Hanzo katana. Looking down at it, the sword lay snugly in its scabbard. As he saw the engraving, he could hear a voice in his head.
"Look after the sword, dear descendant…"
Wolf looked up, as raindrops began to fall lightly on his head. It slowly turned heavier, and he was forced to run. He was still quite a way from his house yet.
Arriving at his small house, earned from his family that was apparently killed in a car crash, he walked in, dropped the bag onto the floor and disappeared upstairs. He was weary with tonight's events, and felt he wanted to just doze off lying in his comfortable bed.
But as he threw himself onto it, he heard the phone ring. Picking it up, he recognised the voice.
"I'd like to congratulate you on your successs Wolfy boy."
"Snake…"
"He is very pleased. So pleased He is sssetting your real assssignment."
"So you mean that was-"
"A test? Ssss….Partly. He wanted to see if you could be trusted, if you had the skills, but He also needed that man out of the way as you were told so … Kageuchi, or whatever it wasss."
"Yes, well…goodnight."
"Oh He's also invited you to a … ssspecial dinner party of his on Thursday. Consider yourself lucky Wolfy boy, for these parties are for His top dogs."
"I'll remember that. Now do me a favour and stop calling at late hours!"
Wolf slammed the phone down and grunted.
"Special dinner party? Probably a drug dealer round-up…"
With that, he lazed back onto his bed and fell asleep.
"Why…why are you doing this…?"
"Why! You don't need to know WHY!"
Syaoran had just come-to and was still hanging from the ceiling. He could feel hot, searing pain over his entire body. That deep grating voice tore through his ears, fuelling his now kindled rage. He began to struggle and strain against the bonds but to no avail.
"Such spirit boy. Why do you fight, when you know you can't escape fool?"
The large figure picked up a large bucket of water and drenched it over Syaoran. It felt extremely cold.
"Now, feel the force of thunder…coursing through every part of your body!"
Syaoran felt a sharp pain in his back. For a split second there was no pain through his whole body. He was numb. Then he felt a massive force surge through his body and paralyzed him. Tears began to stream down his eyes. He was alone, nobody could help…It was hopeless.
"I…I give. Just stop…"
"Good good. I knew you'd see it my way. Now…"
He clapped his hands and 2 soldiers came running in the room.
"Take him away to Room A5 but be gentle. He is our new … guest."
The figure smiled maliciously.
"GET OFF OF ME!"
Wolf woke with a start, but a quick survey of the surroundings he lay back down.
"When will they end…?"
Sakura sat on her desk, mindlessly looking out the window. She would see him at lunchshe thought. She felt her eyelids fail slightly, but shook her head and forced herself to stay awake. Math…
The bell rang after what seemed like a lifetime. Sakura gathered her stuff and darted out the door. She could not miss the opportunity. Hurrying through the corridor, she heard swearing in the distance as she knocked passed several people.
She would wait at the exit to the yard. He always came outside, she thought. Not long after that Wolf came walking calmly out the door.
"Wolf. Hey Wolf!"
"Yeah?"
"Uh I was thinking yesterday and…uh…I don't know how to say this but…"
"Look if it's a date, I'll pass thanks."
"No, no it's something else."
"Well hurry up."
No it couldn't be. Syaoran would never act like that for so long to her. Not after what he had said 4 years ago.
But still she did not give up.
"Wolf…No Syaoran…don't you remember me? At all?"
"What? Are you drunk or something? And who is Syaoran?"
Her heart and brain screamed inside at him. He was lying. But why would he? She remained silent, staring down at the floor. She could feel a single tear flowing down her cheek.
"Well if that's all, I'll be going…"
Wolf looked at her, and couldn't help but feel sorry.
"Look, if there's anything you need help with, just call me ok?" He handed her a small piece of paper with a few hastily scribbled numbers. She nodded slowly and looked up.
A/N : Well I know it was a bit disappointing for a big wait, but I am trying. My brain is swarming with Shakespeare, algebra and all this work crap. Driving me mental !
Anyway R&R
