Returning
Chapter Five: New Found Hope
Ugh, man I woke up with another headache. What was up with me and headaches?
I tried to get up, only to find I couldn't. Now, didn't this seem familiar? I looked down at my waist to find an arm wrapped around me. When I tried to move again, the arm around me tightened. Then I heard a voice from behind me.
"Where do you think you're going?"
'Sasuke…'
He pulled me closer to his body and buried his face in my hair. I heard him take in a breath and then he started kissing my neck. Something clicked in my brain and I finally remembered that he was a traitor.
That he hated me…
I took my elbow and hit him in the stomach. I heard him grunt and then the asked, "What was that for?"
'The nerve of him! I am so going to kick his sorry donkey.'
I managed to shove his arm of me and I sat up. I quickly tightening the sash of my kimono, and then sat up. He sat up too and looked at me disapprovingly. That was the last straw, to think that he…ugh; I'm not even going to start.
I raised my hand and sent a slap to his face. I really was pissed at him, and when he turned back and looked at me, I noticed a trail of blood on the corner of his mouth. Ha, didn't think I hit him that hard.
He glared at me menacingly and snarled, "What the hell was that for!"
I glared right back at him and said, "Do you think I could ever forgive you!"
He looked at me funny, snorted, and then said, "You're mine, and you will be obedient."
I looked at him like he grew another head.
(Script)
Me: YOU STUPID, CRAZY, INSANE, SON A BISCUIT, DONKEY HEAD, CHEESING IDIOT! –Shoves Sasuke of the bed-
Sasuke: …
Me: Do you know how much pain I had to go through because of you! Do you know what happened to me! No you don't! If it wasn't for Sylis, I'd probably be dead by now! If you ever touch me again, I'll let Sylis kill you!
Sasuke: Who the hell is Sylis? –Eyes narrowing-
Me: Oh my god, he's jealous. Oh well, might as well piss him off. Sylis is my boyfriend, so don't freaking touch me! I belong to him, not you!
Sasuke: -Growling out of anger-
Me: Well now…he really does want me…
Sasuke: You're mine, he can't have you…
Me: Should I play with his head even more or…might as well. Well too bad, he's already taken me. I'm no longer innocent. Well…that's partially true.
Sasuke: -Eyes twitching- (A/N: Loll, that's just funny. XD)
(End of script)
I watched him get off the floor, and then he was gone. He just…disappeared. Well, that's what I thought until I felt myself pinned down on the bed. My arms were held above my head and it was tied by charka string. He leaned in and kissed me hard.
'I swear my lips are going to be bruised…'
He was forcing himself on me…
Sasuke started to untie my sash and began to pull of his pants. My eyes widened in realization of what he was going to do. I didn't want this. I closed my eyes, and whimpered. No, I didn't want this…not again.
He pushed himself into me, and I let a scream. It hurt…
I began to cry. I didn't want this, I never wanted this. He continued to force himself into me, and eventually he stopped. He pulled himself out of me, and then kissed me brutally. Then he said harshly, "You're mine, and no one else. If anyone stands in my way, I'll kill them. As for you my little one, if you disobey me again, your punishment will be much worse than this."
With that he walked out of the room. When I was sure he was gone, I took the sash to the kimono and retied it. Afterwards, I cried…I cried out of pain, out of hurt; I cried because I wanted Sylis to be here.

Sasuke's POV
How dare she! She belongs to me and only me. Her words were true. She was already taken. No matter, I would make her forget this Sylis in time.
I walked to the training grounds and trained for at least a few hours. I really wasn't training, I was to busy thinking of her body. Images played in my head. Her beneath me, begging and asking for more, her flushed face, everything about her was perfect, and she would soon be mine. No, she is mine.
'I will kill this Sylis.'
I walked back to my room where I found her sleeping. Her eyes were puffy.
'She was crying.'
She tossed and turned in her sleep. She muttered someone's name…
"Sylis…"
I growled. She was dreaming of that bastard.
(…)
Dream
I was running. I had tears in my eyes. Who was I running from?
The rain was falling…
The thunder boomed…
Words echoed…
"I hate you…"
I didn't want to hear it.
I wanted to run from it all.
I wanted to die.
Someone save me, please.
I ran for so long. I turned a corner only to fall into a black abyss. I was falling and crying. No one was here. No one was going to save me. When I thought it was the end, someone caught me.
I looked into electric azure eyes. His blonde hair was plastered to his face. He was wet, and out of breath. Was he looking for me? Was he the one who saved me?
"Sylis…"
His name escaped my lips, and I found myself holding on to him for dear life. I didn't want to let go. He was my savior, my angel, my hope, my light. I needed him to live. He saved me when we were only thirteen.
He looked at me and wiped away my tears.
"Hey, Bibi…why you crying? I told you a long time ago, you too beautiful to have tears on your face."
I looked at him and buried my face in his chest, and cried even harder. He held me tight telling me everything was okay, and that he would protect me.
"Sylis…"
End of dream
Bibi's POV
I shot out of the gasping for air. I reached up and touched my face. I found it wet from the tears. I hated crying. Ever since we created the Yin Yang and New Found Hope, I barely cried. Now that I wasn't with them, I felt so weak and alone.
I felt like I was being watched, but I didn't find anyone in the room. Then I finally noticed two things. One was, my weapons and outfit were in a chair on the other side of the room, and two was that the room had a sliding door that I was sure led outside.
I reached for the sash of my kimono and tightened it. I moved of the bed and walked over to my things. After rummaging through it I finally found my trusty knife that Jake got me for my 16th birthday.
I picked it up and walked to the sliding door. I opened it just a bit to see that it was night time at the moment. I walked outside and sat on the floor while looking at the moon. It was full and coincidentally, it was 11:00. I gave a small sigh, and looked to the moon. Well. I guess I should talk to the moon. I haven't done that in the longest time. In a way, the moon looked like my mom. Speaking of which, today was her birthday.
I smiled, if talking to the full moon was like talking to the god, maybe I could talk to my mom.
"Hey mom, how are you? Today's your 51st birthday. I'm sorry I didn't get you a gift. You see mom, I've changed so much over the years. I used to be some little girl who didn't know a thing, now look at me. I'm the leader of a dark syndicate. Life's ironic isn't it? I really hope you, daddy, chi Giang, and Thi are all okay. I've had it really rough, but guess what? I've found good friends who took me in. Remember when you died? I was crying on the streets cause I didn't have anywhere to go, and then I met Sylis. He's a good kid. He took me in and his family welcomed me with open arms."
I found myself crying. I wanted my mom.
"Mommy, I'm so sorry I ran away when I was thirteen. I didn't know how much I was leaving behind. I wanted to go home. I really did. I'm so sorry…"
I hugged my knees and trembled. Tears fell from my face and I cried again. I looked to the moon and said, "Hey mommy, I'll sing you a song okay? I hope daddy and chi Giang and Thi can hear too."
"It's called 'My best friends' by 5 days ahead."
i'll try to live through this
please watch over me.
you were always there for me
when i needed a shoulder to cry on
childhood can be so cruel
thank god i had you
they say you should remember them the way they were
and never cry, but that's easier said than done
i tried but too many times i've seen people leave in a box
so i can't cry, i have to be strong
days go by i wish i could see you again
to lose a friend the world's so unfair
sometimes i think about what may have been
if that phone didn't ring
would people have wept over me
like they wept over you?
what would be of mom and dad
to lose their only son
would school even notice i was gone?
i am gone
Where are all my best friends?
they left me alone again
i have no one to turn to
struck down i never said good bye
i never said thank you
who needed love?
i had you
but now you've faded away
like the pictures i hang on my wall
i'll remember you
I looked at the clock again and it said, 11:10. I closed my eyes and counted down to 11:11 and made my wish.
"I wish could see my friends again. I want to live through this and laugh with them again. I want to make fun of Tanya for her funky hair color, I want to learn more stuff from Mika, I want to steal Jake's coffee every morning, I want to watch Tyler make funny faces through the web cam just to make me laugh, and mostly…I want to walk home with Sylis. I want to see him again. I want to lay in his bed with him and talk about stupid things. I want to sit on the roof with all my friends and do crazy things. I want to be with them. I want to be with my family."
I hugged my knees closer to me and cried. I cried for a really long time until I heard Kuro ask me,
Do you love Sylis? You know like more than a friend?
Of course I do! I love him like a brother.
Oh, I see. So then, what would you give to see all your friends again?
Anything and everything…do you guys have to ask? I love them so much.
Go back to room and sleep little one.
Ack, now you sound like Jake.
I know…
You're so weird.
Go to sleep.
Fine…god, and I thought I was the mistress.
Well, we have to look out for your well-being don't we?
I guess so, so…oh fine. I'll to sleep.
I got off the ground then stopped. In my hand I still held my knife.
Are you going to start doing that again?
Nope…I'm going to cut my hair?
WHAT!
I tuned out the idiots in my head, pulled my hair into a ponytail, and sliced it. My hair was now about six inches past my shoulders. My hair was the same length as it was when I was thirteen now. I smiled; I still thought short hair was better than long hair.
I stood up and walked back into the room. I put the knife back where I got it, and dug through some of the things I had. While digging through all my things, I found the following:
My revolver
64 bullets
3 grenades
6 knives
2 smoke bombs
4 sleeping gas thingies
My mask
My wallet with photographs in it
I looked at a random photo and held back a giggle. It was a picture of us when we were going to the first concert we had. We wore the stupidest things ever.
I was wearing a pair of torn up jeans, a skirt over it, a tank top, skater shoes, and a fluffy boa around my neck.
Tanya was wearing a toga, except she had pants on with a pair of biker shorts over the pants. She wore home slippers as shoes. Her toga shirt hung low and she was wearing a spaghetti strap shirt inside. Her hair was hilarious. Since she kept her hair boy short, she spiked it, and dyed it purple with silver and green streaks.
Jake…well he was wearing his hat like always; he was wearing girl pants, and a dress top. I was cracking up that time I saw him. He looked metro or something. He wasn't wearing and freaking shoes. He had on different colored socks. The one on his left foot was pink with purple polka dots and the one on his right had tellitubbies on it.
Sylis, well, he was wearing a muscle tee, a tie, and his pants were freaking hilarious. We had bought some iron on stuff and designed his jeans for him. There were pictures of Barney, the doll named Molly from the Big Comfy couch, Tellitubbies, Elmo, Big bird, and so many other hilarious things. He wore combat boots with it. To tell you the truth, I would have thought he was gay if it wasn't for the fact his sister said he was straight. I still don't believe him though.
Tyler…oh my god; he was actually wearing a dress. It was my old dress from when I went to homecoming with my old friends. He was wearing sweatpants under that and he put bows and little berets in his hair. He was wearing some shoes his mom owned.
Mika, well god dang, she was wearing a something that reminded me of Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde. Her shoes were some 5 inch stilettos or something. I can't believe she could even walk in those; much less dance in them.
All the good times we had came to mind. It was so funny. That first night was so much fun. I was glad I met these crazy people.
A smile graced my features as I thought of the time they all took me to a cliff and started singing a song called, 'Radio edit' by the Ataris. We were laughing so hard. Jake nearly fell off the cliff if it wasn't for his trusty hat. That and the fact that Tanya was hanging off the cliff with him trying to pull him up.
My first Christmas with them. There was a photo of me and Sylis under the mistletoe. They all shoved me and Sylis under there. Poor Sylis, his parent freaked when they came down the stairs and saw us. Tyler had taken the picture and gave it to me.
I got off the floor and walked to the bed. I sat down and flipped through all the photos. Thinking of all the times I had with them made me smile.
(…)
Sasuke's POV
I had been sitting in the shadows watching her the whole time. She had given herself a hair cut and I thought she looked like her old self again. When she walked to her stuff and pulled out a wallet, she started smiling. I used a jutsu that made myself invisible and walked over to her and looked over her shoulder.
A photo of her and a group of people; they were all dress ridiculously. When she looked at the next photo, it was a picture of a boy hanging of a cliff holding onto a girl's hand. They were laughing.
The next photo made me want to kill someone. A blonde haired boy and she were kissing. She smiled and got up. She walked over to the bed and sat there looking at the photos; smiling every time she turned to a different one.
(…)
Bibi's POV
When I finished looking at all the photos, I gave a small smile. We were crazy idiots. We were each others hopes. I won't let anyone take me from them. I thought about Sasuke…he said I was his. I had to make sure of something. I needed to 'talk' to him later. I still loved him, but I didn't want to be touched like that.
I looked at the most recent photo of us. It was us all dress in our Yin Yang outfits, but instead of looking deadly, we were grinning like idiots.
I lay down with the photo in hand and said out loud, "Together we stand, together we fall. We are the New Found Hope by day and the Yin Yang by night. We're friends forever."
I stood back up and put my wallet back in the pile of crap I called my own. I smiled as I lay back down. Then I noticed something. There was a shadow being cast. Was Sasuke in the room the whole time?
I stood up and walked over to him. I hugged him. He released the jutsu and stared at me. I put my head on his chest and said, "I didn't mean to sound so mean earlier, and about Sylis. He's not my lover. He's my big brother."
(Script)
Sasuke: what about that picture of you and him kissing?
Me: my so called friends shoved us under a mistletoe. His parents freaked out.
Sasuke: You said, he was your brother right? Then why are you not a virgin?
Me: …I really don't want to talk about it. I'll tell you everything in the morning. Stay with me tonight?
Sasuke: -Nods head- Why the sudden change in your mood towards me?
Me: I was thinking…I can be really moody so you'd better watch out.
(End of script)
I let go of him and grabbed his hand.
We walked to the bed and I lay down. He joined me and wrapped his arm around me. I snuggled closer to him because, hey, it was kind of cold.
I smiled and said, "Please promise me something…"
"What?"
"Don't force yourself on me again. I'll explain tomorrow."
With that, I fell asleep feeling rather safe for some odd reason.
