Chapter Ten

Learning the truth

Okay... This chapter is still trying to explain things... For Sakura that is... If it is really damn boring, just close the webpage. Don't have to review.

"Please, Dad, tell me who our real mother is..." Xiao Long pleased, sobbing quietly.

"Xiao Long, I..." Syaoran looked at his son. Should he tell him the truth? All eyes were upon him but his eyes went over to meet Sakura's. Sakura looked sadly at them but made no comment.

"Why Dad? Why can't you tell us? Is it Aunty Sakura?" Xiao Long asked, looking up at his father. Syaoran was taken back by Xiao Long's words. How much had they figured out? Sakura gasped at the moment her name was mention, how on earth did they find out? Kit never told them anything about that. Even Tomoyo and Kit were shocked by Xiao Long. Well, except for Rex that was, who remained expressionless.

"Then I make my own assumption then," Xiao Long replied, "You are such a liar, Dad!" And he ran off.

"Xiao Long!" Syaoran shouted as he turned to see his son ran off as well. Chris and Evelyn appeared at the door in time to see the boy ran off.

"What's going on?" Evelyn asked.

"Quit asking and go after the boy," Kit replied calmly. Wondering, Chris and Evelyn did as Kit said and ran after Xiao Long. Since when will things ever going to be better?

"Gomen," Sakura apologized, "I caused a lot of trouble."

"It's not your fault Sakura," Syaoran replied, "It's just not your fault. I'm partly to be blamed. I told them you were died."

"Don't worry, Teng and the others are good in their jobs. They should be able to catch up with them," Kit assured them.

"They are clever, Kit-ne-san," Tomoyo replied, "After all, they are Sakura's and Syaoran's twins."

"WHAT?!" Kit shouted a loud, "They are Sakura's and Syaoran's twins? What the hell is going on?"

"Gosh, will you not shout?" Rex asked, covering his ears in annoy, "You can easily make a person deaf you know."

"Sakura... They..." Kit looked at Sakura who turned away, with her sad expression. "You have to be kidding me."

"We aren't kidding you, Kit-ne-san," Tomoyo told her, "Xiao Long and Xiao Feng are their kids. Sakura gave birth to them before she was caught. They had been growing up under Syaoran's care for the past 12 years."

"It's not about that," Kit replied, "How am I supposed to answer to Fujitaka-sama about this?"

"He's died. You should know," Sakura replied sadly.

"I promised him to look after you before he died, Sakura. There are things that you should know when the time is right," Kit replied.

"Things that I should know?" Sakura asked, giving Kit a questionable look.

"Well, it's worth to listen isn't it?" Rex smirked.

"Shut up," Kit snapped, "Why don't you run along and find some girlfriends to be worthy of Lilica's and Leo's mother?"

"Why should I when their mother is right in front of me now?" Rex asked, playfully.

"Shut up!" Kit shouted. The rest of them gave them a weird look. Some relationship they shared there...

"Wait... You are the mother of Rex's twins?" Syaoran asked, his jaw dropped.

"Something I don't wish to mention again," Kit replied.

"That's why Sakura can't forgive Rex," Syaoran looked from Kit to Sakura.

"He just used her against my father," Sakura snapped unhappily.

"Clever plan don't you think so?" Rex smiled.

"How I wish he had killed you," Kit muttered sadly.

"Kit... " Sakura stared at Kit who looked at the floor.

"It's about time to let you know, Sakura," Kit replied, "Why your father chose to die... I've talk to Touya-ni-chan about it."

"You met Oni-chan?" Sakura asked.

"There is a reason why I don't wish you to go too close to Syaoran. I know you know he is a CIA agent and he was after your life. I warn you before... To be careful when with him... But did you listen? No. I feared you might go the same path I went... And my fear was right... You went the same path I went... Falling for the enemy... God I was so mad... But I know... I can't change the fact... The fact that you love Syaoran... The fact that you are willing to give up everything for him... Just like me..." Kit replied.

"Kit-ne-san..." Sakura was almost in tears when she heard what Kit said.

"I told you too, about my incident with Rex... But I never told you the reason he knew me..." Kit continued, "I feared. I feared you might hate me. Hate me for being so selfish. For taking your father away from you. But I didn't do that on purpose. There was a reason for it. Fujitaka-sama had a reason for it."

"What are you trying to imply Kit? Something else is going on in the black market itself?" Rex asked.

"Someone else has been controlling the black market in his hand for the past 20 years. Many of the bosses are killed over this period of time. I have no idea. Not even a single clue," Kit replied, "But one thing is for sure."

"What?" Tomoyo asked. Kit looked at Sakura who, too, was studying her and sighed.

"One thing is for sure... And that's that Sakura's mother, Nadeshiko Kinomoto is still alive," Kit replied. Sakura's eyes widened in disbelief. Her mother was still alive?!

At the airport, a lady with grayish long hair and sunglasses had just walked out of the terminal and looked at the beautiful city in front of her. Through it was beautiful, to her, everything here just remained about the sad days she had in the past.

"I'm back, Fujitaka-san," she whispered the name sadly. Taking off her sunglasses, her eyes revealed a sign of pain and sadness in it.

"Welcome back, Agent," A guy with blue hair called from behind.

"Where is Rex? I told you people I will only meet up with him," the lady replied as she turned to face him.

"Sorry about it, my lady," the man replied in a smile, "But I was asked to bring you over to him."

"Where is he? Unless he is here, will I follow you," the lady snapped.

"Fear that I'm not an agent too, I see," the man smiled and revealed his ID, "The name is Eriol Hiiragizawa. I'm a close friend of Rex and Syaoran Li, if you know him."

The lady looked expressionlessly at Eriol who simply smiled innocently at her, knowing very well the lady in front of him knew Syaoran.

"I can have that ID easily if I want to," she replied hastily.

"Anything you say, Mrs. Nadeshiko Kinomoto," Eriol replied, emphasizing her surname. And it immediately had an effect on the lady.

"Fine, just get me to him. And if you try any trick, Mr. Hiiragizawa, I make sure your head is off from your neck," the lady replied in annoy.

"Follow me, Mrs. Kinomoto," Eriol smiled mildly at her while leading the way, "And just call me plain old Eriol."

Back at Sakura's side, silence had taken over them for quite a while. No one spoke a single word. Who would? When they heard someone's name being mention that was suppose to be died was actually alive well? It was shocking news to Sakura and Tomoyo but not to Kit, Rex or Syaoran.

"My Mom is actually alive?" Sakura finally recovered from her shock managed to ask.

"Yes," Kit replied in short.

"Since when did you know that Mrs. Kinomoto is still alive?" Rex asked, "We had faked her death too well to let anyone know about it."

"It just never escapes our eyes," Kit replied, "After giving birth to Sakura, Fujitaka-sama had tried to ask her about the truth. The truth why she was hiding her identity from him. She knew, somehow, her identity was leaked out. She was forced to fake her death. But how can we, who are constantly faking our deaths to escape from you people, be fooled by that simple trick like that? He knew she was alive and hiding from him. He wanted to know why, that's why he wanted me to fall for your little trap. That's why he was willing let himself died. He only wanted to know if his wife, Nadeshiko-sama really loves him like he thought she did!"

"It's enough!" Sakura shouted, silencing the two of them. First, the twins were finding out about her, second, she found out about the reason why Kit didn't want her to be close to Syaoran in the past and now... What on earth was going in the past that she didn't know? How much of truth was hidden from her in the past that she yet to know? How much more of this tearing truth must she face?

Syaoran looked painfully at Sakura. He knew she was suffering in her heart and it was heartbreaking to see her in such a state. Couldn't bear anymore of the pain in him, Syaoran walked over to Sakura and hugged her tightly in his arm. Sakura was shocked at first but slowly, she relaxed herself. She needed someone, anyone to be with her right now. Moreover, it was Syaoran, someone she needed and wanted so much to be with her. What more did she want?

Just then, ringing tone was heard through-out the room. Rex took his handphone out and sighed. He excused himself and answered the phone.

"Rex speaking," he answered.

"Eriol speaking here, Rex-y boy," Eriol's voice sounded over the phone.

"What? And stop calling me that, you know I hate that name," Rex replied in an unhappy tone.

"Sure, where do you want me to bring her too?" Eriol asked, holding his laughter back. He just enjoyed laughing and teasing Rex as much as he enjoyed teasing and laughing at Syaoran.

"Alex's. I will bring the rest over," Rex replied, "The kids should be there in a moment."

"I called him, he will keep the kids there as long as possible," Eriol replied.

"Kit already sent 4 of her girls after them," Rex told him, "So don't worry."

"Sure, see you then," Eriol replied before cutting the line. Rex kept his phone and looked from Sakura with Syaoran still hugging her to Tomoyo and then to Kit who was walking towards him.

"What are you planning at?" Kit asked.

"Nothing," Rex replied, "But I need you people to co-operate with me."

"What are you driving at?" Tomoyo asked.

"I'm bringing you people to meet the lady who was supposed to be died," Rex replied with a smile.

"Nadeshiko-sama?" "Oka-san?" both Sakura and Kit asked at the same time.

"So are you people coming with me?" Rex asked, keeping his smile, "'Cause she is the only one who can answer to all your questions that you people want to know."

"I'm coming along!" Sakura shouted as she looked up at Rex. She was determined to know whether her mother was really still alive.

Xiao Long had caught up with his sister Xiao Feng in no time. They knew they were being followed but they didn't care. They just wanted to get to Meiling's house. The only other place they knew where in this country. They just needed a place to slowly think about everything.

Chris and the others were trailing them the whole time and were rather impressed by their ability of running. Well, very surprising... How much longer can the two of them run from them, the trained assassins of the Phantom Gang?

Another chapter done... With my mental-block on... Sigh When would it been gone?

Kawaii Star Tenshi, Kit isn't an enemy. She is one of Sakura's closest cousins and alive other than Tomoyo.
