Chapter Six

Betray or Betrayed? Part 2

Back at the house, Xiao Feng and Xiao Long had searched through Sakura's room in detail but nothing seems to give them any clue to Sakura's identity. For once, Xiao Long realized he wasn't as good as he thought he was. Sitting on Sakura's bed, his thought started to wonder. Something came to his mind. That ring Sakura was wearing. He knew he seen it somewhere but he just couldn't remember. Xiao Feng looked at Sakura's laptop in amazement. She had never seen such a beautiful yet complicated kind of laptop. It was one in a kind.

"Brother, do you think we can find anything in the laptop?" Xiao Feng asked as she turned around to face her brother.

"You can try," Xiao Long replied as he continued to think about the ring.

Xiao Feng sighed as she turned back to the laptop. Sitting on the chair, Xiao Feng switched it on.

Name:

Password:

'What should I enter? Sakura's name? Or what? Maybe I should try Sakura's name.' Xiao Feng thought as she entered 'Sakura Kinomoto'. Then she entered a password.

Name: Kinomoto Sakura

Password: XXXXXX

Error access. Seek help from the great Cherry.

'Seek help from the great Cherry?' Xiao Feng thought. 'Cherry? Who's Cherry? Hey wait... Cherry... Cherry Blossom?' A sudden thought made Xiao Feng typed in something she thought was right.

Name: Cherry Blossom

Password: XXXXXX

Access denial. Just to let you know, thet password like the one you type is not a very good. Try something more intelligence.

Xiao Feng cursed yet she felt like laughing. She never thought Sakura was that childish as well. She always looked so strict. But something made her stopped to think. Did Aunty Sakura, by any chance, know Cherry Blossom? Or is she really who she think she was? This was getting a little confused for little Xiao Feng. She spotted a drawer that was locked. Being the typical girl of her, she wanted to know what was locked in it. Playfully she took a hairpin out and tried opening the lock. After a few struggle with the lock, she managed to open the drawer. She opened it with great care and looked within. There wasn't much inside. She sighed, rather disappointed with her finding. It was only when she was about to close the drawer that something caught her attention. She almost let out a cried of shock. It was a plain photo but it immediately made her jumped. Xiao Feng took it out and ran to her brother.

"Brother, you wouldn't believe what I have just found," Xiao Feng cried, snapping Xiao Long out of his long and lost thought.

"What, Xiao Feng? Can't you see I'm in the middle of my thoughts?" Xiao Long replied in annoy.

"Look at this! I can't believe it," Xiao Feng replied as she showed him the photo. Almost instantly, when Xiao Long saw the photo, his heart had almost stopped. His jaw dropped in total surprise. Taking the photo from his sister's hand, he continued to stare at it. It was a picture of both young Syaoran and Sakura standing together smiling.

"They looked so young," Xiao Long said, holding the photo tighter. Everything was getting weirder by minutes. Xiao Feng's feeling was right after all. Something was definitely wrong between them.

"I'm positive this is not taken recently," Xiao Feng replied, "Aunty Sakura rarely goes out. And she is on a not very good term with Dad for these few days. She can't possible taking photo with Dad and standing so close to him. I know her. She isn't like those before her. She just isn't..."

"I can understand that," Xiao Long replied, "And this picture is taken sometime ago, I guess. Dad looks a lot younger in this picture. Dad..." It was as if something strikes his mind like an arrow.

"I can't believe I was so dumb to realize it," Xiao Long shouted as he walked out of Sakura's room and into his father's room. Xiao Feng followed him in confusion. What was going on with her brother? Xiao Long opened one of the lower drawers of his father's table and took a box out. It was just a regular box. Xiao Feng looked at her brother who looked up to face her.

"Dad told me once; he was engaged to a lady. That lady killed his beloved one. He used himself as the bait to lure her out," Xiao Long replied, "And their engagement rings were these." Xiao Long opened the box and showed it to his sister. In the box, there was only one ring. A very normal ring it seems to Xiao Feng who fancies nice and well-designed items.

"There's only one," Xiao Feng replied, "Where's the other?"

"It was with that lady," Xiao Long replied, "And that lady, if I didn't get it wrong, is Aunty Sakura."

"What?!" Xiao Feng shouted in disbelief, "Aunty Sakura?"

"I saw her wearing identical ring to this. So it will probably be her. And you saw Dad's reaction towards her, it wouldn't be hard to believe it," Xiao Long replied in a serious tone.

"But she could get an identical ring anywhere," Xiao Feng argued, "She can't be the one that killed Dad's lady. I heard about how nice that lady was towards Dad and I know he loves her with his heart until that killer came and killed her. But that doesn't imply it was Aunty Sakura who killed that lady."

"There is only one pair of this rings," Xiao Long told her, "It was designed for Dad's use. It contained a tracker."

"How did you know?" Xiao Feng asked.

"I played with it with I was six," Xiao Long grimed at his sister, "In the end I was made to write a 1,000 words essay."

"1,000?!" Xiao Feng asked in shocked.

"But it was then Dad told me about that part of the story," Xiao Long replied, ignoring his sister's comment. He closed the box. "So my guess is that Aunty Sakura was the one who killed Dad's woman and she was the one that Dad was once engaged to."

Just then, a knock at the front door made the twin looked to the door in union and back at each other. Who will be here at this time? It can't be someone they knew, since they didn't really have much relative or friends. The only people they knew were Tomoyo, Meiling, Eriol, Alex and Vic. It can't be them. So who else will it be?

Sakura's side

Sakura was running as fast as she could down the alley. Damn Nakuru, Sakura cursed. Just when she wanted to change, this came up. Just when she didn't want to kill, someone was after her life. Just when everything was already very much screwed-up, this made the situation even worst. Clinching her injured arm even tighter, Sakura continued to find a place to hide herself from Nakuru who was chasing after her like a wild dog. Not today. She didn't want to kill anyone today. She needed to know something.

'Yukito-sama wants you dead like he wants your father dead.'

Nakuru's words replayed in her brain. She thought she had heard wrongly. Her father was killed by Yukito? But why?

'Working in secret.'

Touya's words played in her mind as well. So he knew something was up with Yukito. That's why he was working there. That's how he knew exactly where he was. That's how he was able to send her message about him to her. He must had figure out Yukito was the one who caused their father's death.

"Curse you a million years, Yukito," Sakura whispered softly. She needed to let her anger out a little.

Flashback

It was a rather fine day when Sakura was training hard with her hand combat. It was a nice day for Sakura who had won almost all her battles. Just then, her sensei, Sonomi called her over. Sakura immediately ran over to her.

"What is it Sensei?" Sakura asked.

"It's about your father," Sonomi replied, "He's died."

"He's what?!" Sakura shouted; it was as if the whole world collapse onto her. How can this happen to her? To her father?

"Your brother just called to say that," Sonomi replied, "I'm really sorry Sakura-chan. I can't let you go for revenge now."

Sakura went silence for a while before she replied, "I'm not going for revenge now. I will complete my training and then I will seek revenge. That's what I promised Oto-san."

End of flashback

'I have always thought the CIA had killed Dad. But it wasn't them as far as I checked on them. Even they themselves are finding out who killed him. I never thought it will be Yukito. Damn him.' Sakura thought angrily. Angry not because of Yukito but herself. For being so drowned in his love in the past and failed to realize he was the one who killed her father. Shaking her head furiously, Sakura tried to concentrate on how she was going to make her escape again. Nakuru must be somewhere nearby, at any corner. She had to be careful, because another shot will be the end for her.

Walking out of her hideout, another gun shot set Sakura skipping back a few steps.

"I found you Kinomoto," Nakuru smiled as she stood at her spot and looked at Sakura playfully. Sakura just made a disgusted face at Nakuru. She hated her. She felt her blood boiled again. Nakuru was toying with her. She was not going to kill her until she tortured her enough.

"You are good in playing Hide-and-Seek. It's such a pity that I found you this fast," Nakuru teased and walked to be in front of her.

"I wasn't playing with you, Nakuru," Sakura replied angrily, "If you want to kill me, go ahead. I'm not afraid of death. I'm always at the edge so it doesn't really matter torturing me or not."

"Silence!" Nakuru shouted, "I do what I want. I want you to suffer the worst death. I want you to die in a total despair..."

Before Nakuru could finish her sentence, a bang rang from behind Nakuru that made Sakura stared at Nakuru fall in front of her, dead. Yukito was standing there, his gun in his out-straight hand. His eyes were on Sakura. She could sense he was trying to make himself look as if he was really worried about her safety.

"Are you alright, Sakura?" Yukito asked as he lowered his gun and walked over to Sakura.

"I don't need you to care," Sakura replied harshly.

"I was trying to help, Sakura," Yukito replied as he tried to help her up only to be rejected by Sakura.

"Don't you touch me, murderer," Sakura snapped. Taken back by Sakura's word, Yukito looked at Sakura whose emerald eyes were sending him the signal of not crossing that 'red line' of her's.

"Sakura, I think you must have mistaken..." Before Yukito could say anything, Sakura cut him short.

"Nakuru will never make a mistake in telling certain things, isn't it why you kill her? Just like you killed your father, your god-brother and MY FATHER?" Sakura shouted. Yukito looked at Sakura, a smile started to appear on his face.

"So you know about it," Yukito replied as his smile brightened, "Then it's an easier job. You know what I want, Kinomoto. Your father refused my offer and threatened to put me in jail. But I know you are different from him. You will accept my offer."

"No matter what you offer," Sakura replied, "I will not agree with anything."

"Listen first, Kinomoto, you will be interested," Yukito told her, "I want you to help me to overpower the government."

"Overpower the government? Who do you think you are?" Sakura shouted angrily.

"That's why I need you," Yukito replied, "If you help me, I will let you be my first lady."

"Dream on, Tsukishiro!" Sakura hissed, "I will never help a person who killed my family member."

"Sakura, Sakura. You are so stupid for refusing my offer. I could have let you live on," Yukito replied as he held the gun at Sakura, "But you have to die for you know about my secret."

"Like I say," Sakura replied; she was filled with anger and hatred, "Dream on!" Sakura went into a quick dash and picked a twig from the ground. She hit Yukito's hand hard with it forcing him to drop the gun before giving him a high kick making him fly back. Even though her wound from her left arm still hurts her, she held on. She had to kill this guy. For once, she was going to kill someone for a reason. She picked his gun up and pointed it at Yukito who sat up and looked at Sakura.

"So you are going to kill me, my dear Sakura?" Yukito asked.

"You lie to me. You never love me. You were only making use of me to make my father to agree to your term. You only want my father's power to bring you to the top. You are such a liar," Sakura told him, holding the gun tighter in her hand.

"Yes, I was making use of you," Yukito confessed, "I want to gain more power. So I can take the world in my hands. I will never love a little girl like you."

Sakura pulled the trigger of the gun and the first thing she knew was blood spattered onto her. She could taste the blood that had stained her lips. And the very next thing she knew, everything in front of her had turned black.

This chapter is very short and mostly on Xiao Feng and Xiao Long. Hope you guys would mind. But the action part is rather little. Hahahaha... (Bitter laugh) Sigh... I will add more action next time. And forgive me for my mistakes I made.

Crystaleyez, which part of the story are you confused? And I'm glad you really like the twins. And I really glad every one of you like the chapter.

Sunnflower, I had answer you question I guess. But you can still ask me if you don't understand.

Kiwi, I'm really sorry about the 'not much happen'. I apologized.

White-Destiny-Pure-Snow, please do not flame me. I can't take the heat... Just joking... I will try to update as soon as possible but please do be patient.

That's about it. My countdown for my prelim examination: 1 week 3 days.

Signing off with luvs and kisses,

Kit.
