Chapter 05: That Time of Month

She was running…running for her life. She felt her breath quicken as the voice got closer.

She stopped. A dead end.

It was as if she were trapped in a cage, feeling that she had no place to go. She was trapped.

She gasped as she heard the breaking of glass, as it was stepped on. She turned around, meeting malicious eyes. She stumbled backwards onto the ground and curled up in the corner.

The man smirked. "Don't be afraid, I'm not going to hurt you."

The girl began to sob, as he edged closer, arms out front. "Ss-stay away from me!" she rasped out.

The man smiled widely, scarily. "You're coming with me!" Holding one hand firmly against her mouth to prevent her screaming, he carried her struggling body inside an old building, into his supposed home...

Sakura woke up with a start, sweat trickling down her skin, her hair clinging to her face.

She curled her legs against her chest and pressed her forehead against her knees, rocking back and forth.

Not again, not again. Sakura felt herself shaking, sobbing. Tears began to trail down her cheeks as she recalled that nightmare…

A minute later, the lights turned on in the hallway and the door opened to reveal a worried Tomoyo.

"Sakura, are you OK? I heard you scream. Is it…that dream again?" Worry was etched into Tomoyo's voice, as she hugged Sakura close to her.

No more words were needed, as Sakura grabbed onto Tomoyo, despairingly and cried her heart out.

No one would sleep this month.

Tomoyo drove up the Yashima Corps drive way at 7 AM, dropping Sakura off. She removed her sunglasses and looked at Sakura concerned. "Are you sure you wanna go to work today? You can always call in sick."

Sakura looked at Tomoyo with a sad smile. "I'll be fine, Tomoyo. See you."

Tomoyo gave her one last glance and drove off, as Sakura entered the building, cool air washing her face.

She walked straight, dazedly, ignoring the greetings that she received from employees working there. Arriving at her destination, she sat down and dropped her bag next to her chair.

She didn't notice when Chiharu, Rika and Naoko walked in, chatting happily and drinking their coffee. The three spotted Sakura sitting by herself and walked in her direction.

"Hey, Kura! What's up, sweetie? You're here early!" Chiharu smiled widely as she sat on the table, cross legged.

Sakura's head snapped up and she gave a small smile towards them. "Hey, you guys. What are we doing today?"

The girls looked at Sakura in surprise. When Sakura had raised her head, they were all shocked to see how she was in such a bad shape. She had heavy, black bags under her eyes, her hair was somewhat disheveled and she looked like she got dressed while sleeping.

And what was up with her voice? It sounded like she was dead. The girls became concerned. "Hey, are you alright, Sakura? Something you wanna talk about?"

Sakura felt guilty when she heard Rika's concerned, soft voice. I have to act like myself.

She smiled and cocked an eyebrow. "What are you talking about? I'm great! I can't wait to sing today! Where's Eriol and Syaoran?"

Syaoran…

The girls doubted she was OK, but decided that if she didn't want to talk about it, they wouldn't. "They'll be here soon; they just had some errands to run." Naoko replied.

Sakura nodded slowly and got out some of her music to show them. With that, they conversed more about the songs and what things they would have to do.

"So, what do you think, Mr. Yashima?" Syaoran inquired.

Syaoran and Eriol were in Mr. Yashima's office, letting him listen to the songs that Sakura recorded.

Mr. Yashima, after listening to Sakura sing Because of You, beamed at the two and smiled happily. "You two have outdone yourselves! She's perfect!"

Eriol and Syaoran hi fived each other and turned back to Mr. Yashima.

"Once these songs are out, she's going to be famous! Everyone will want to meet her, she's going to revolutionize the music world! But…"

Syaoran and Eriol had been nodding along with everything he was saying, but stopped when he said, "but."

"But what?" Eriol cocked an eyebrow.

"But…I won't allow you to make more than one copy of her songs," Syaoran and Eriol were about to argue, "until you make one music video. Then she'll be known for that song, and that will raise some popularity. Understood?"

Syaoran and Eriol reluctantly nodded and left his office.

They arrived in the main lobby, where they found all the girls, except Mei Lin, Xiao Lin and Hiro crowded against Sakura.

Mei Lin smiled at Syaoran as he entered the room, but he just pretended that he didn't see her and went straight towards the group.

"What the hell are you guys doing?" Eriol snickered when Xiao Lin turned around and said, "Nothin', we're just talking to Sakura."

Once finished with their talking, the group turned their heads at Syaoran and Eriol.

When seeing Sakura, they were a bit shocked to see her state, but they didn't say anything because the others didn't seem to be fazed.

Sakura smiled. "So, what are we doing today?"

Syaoran stared at her in worry, before clearing his throat. "Well, Eriol and I just spoke with Mr. Yashima about the next step. And he says that he won't copy more than one CD for your album, until you make one music video. You know, to get your popularity up."

They all nodded in understanding, waiting for him to go on. "Well," he started, " the first thing we need to decide is which song we're going to do and then we need to fill in the details of the setting of the video, etc."

"Of course, it's going to be the song that I wrote the other day!" All their gazes turned to Mei Lin as she stopped right next to Syaoran. "I mean, it should be my decision since I wrote the songs and all. So I think I'll choose—"

She was interrupted by Syaoran's cough and she turned her gaze inquiringly at him. "Well, to put it bluntly, we didn't use your songs."

"What?"

"Sakura wasn't singing as well when she sang your songs. The problem was it wasn't her music. So, we used her songs and it worked out perfectly. We won't need your songs." Syaoran put it so harshly, he surprised not only Mei Lin but everyone else in the room.

Mei Lin couldn't find the right words to express how she was feeling so she let out a huff and stomped out of the room. Damn that Kinomoto. I think it's time that I start my plan…

There was a silence in the room, after Mei Lin left, but Syaoran ignored it.

"Alright, Sakura, what song are you going to be using?"

Sakura looked up slowly and just stared into space, forgetting about them all.

Eriol eyed her a bit worriedly. "Is she alright?" Everyone looked the same as Eriol, but just shook their heads. "She says she's fine, so that means she doesn't want to talk about it. We just have to keep our noses out of her business." Rika said, disappointedly.

"I don't know what song I'm going to use…" Her voice was just above a whisper, so soft and light. It's as if she wasn't there.

Syaoran looked around at the other worried faces and said, "OK, let's have a 10 minute break. Get our minds freshened up." Everyone nodded and left the room, leaving Sakura and Syaoran there.

Sakura didn't move from her seat as she twiddeled with her thumbs and Syaoran just kept on looking at her in worry.

"Did you hear what I just said, Sakura?"

"Wha--?"

Syaoran closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh, sitting on the edge of the table in front of Sakura.

"Hey, what's wrong? You're not being yourself. Are you OK?"

Sakura's relaxed a bit as she heard his concerned, deep voice speak to her. She looked up and her eyes widened a bit.

The sincere concern in his eyes…it reminded her of him. She felt tears fill up her eyes and she brought her face down.

Syaoran couldn't help feel the tug at his heart, when he saw her tears. "Are you crying? You know what? You're going to tell me what's your problem, now."

I have to think of an excuse. Sakura chuckled softly. "Thanks for the concern, Syaoran, but you're just wasting it."

Sakura got up from her seat, grabbed her bag and took her cell phone out, not letting Syaoran say anything. She called Tomoyo and asked her to pick her up.

She was going to leave to the exit, but then she saw Syaoran catching up to her, so she decided to go to the woman's bathroom.

"Wait, Sakura!"

Sakura rushed towards the door and yelled, "Just leave me alone, Syaoran!"

And she entered the bathroom, waiting for Tomoyo to come. She sent her a text message telling her to call her when she got here.

30 minutes later, Syaoran was found sitting on the curb outside of the building, as Sakura came outside to go to her ride.

When Syaoran saw her, he hurriedly got up and followed Sakura before she could get to the car.

He grabbed her arm and roughly made her look at him. She saw anger in his eyes. "What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

Sakura flinched at his words before taking her hand and removing his grip. Before entering the car, she gave a back glance at Syaoran.

"Don't worry, Syaoran. It's just that time of the month."
