Chapter 5: Answers and Returns
"The insane don't need a reason. They do things for satisfaction, that is their one and only motivation."
-Hana No Ai
Syaoran's POV
When we arrived at the picnic spot I saw Kinomoto and Tomoyo laughing the time away.
"May I ask why you are laughing?" Asked Eriol sweetly. His voice still make me vomit when he talks. I made a small gagging sound and face. Tomoyo glared at me while Eriol just ignored me. But Kinomoto stared at me and giggled to herself and I did the strangest thing...I winked at her. When she began to blush and she looked away I smiled liking the effect I was having on her. 'What the hell am I doing?'
"Flirting are we?" I saw Eriol looking at me with an amused expression that said 'caught you' I felt my face begin to heat up.
"Shut up!" I said glaring at him.
"Come and sit, we have plenty of room." Kinomoto said invitingly that blush still clinging to her porcelain face. I could not help but laugh inwardly. That little gesture by me made her this embarrassed...amusing.
"Thank You very much Lady Kinomoto." He said taking a seat. I sat down beside him and I saw him glare at me through the corner of his eye.
"Yeah thanks." I grumbled. After we were comfortably seated Tomoyo's eyes went starry. That could only mean one thing. She was up to something. The last time she had that look was when we were seven years of age. She dressed me up as a bride and Eriol as the groom and she was the priest. Not to mention I had make-up plastered to my face. I shuddered at the memory.
"Sa-ku-ra-chan!" She said hiding her hands behind her back.
"Y-yes Tomoyo-chan?" Kinomoto asked nervously.
"Guess what I brought." Kinomoto quickly stood up and walked a few feet away still facing us. Me and Eriol watched those two curiously.
"Tomoyo-chan isn't it beautiful out here?" She asked trying to change the subject. But knowing Tomoyo she would not be fooled that easily.
"Oh no! Your not getting away from me this time!"
"Uh-oh..." Tomoyo stood up and started to chase Kinomoto a newly designed outfit in hand.
"Sakura please its better to run in than that sun dress!!" She said careful not to shout as I saw. Usually she would shout. Weird.
"No Way! Last time you said that I got stuck with more frills and a much more puffier dress!!" She said back still running. To my surprise she ran very fast and she had on amazing agility. How could a girl of my country ever do this? All I see is stuck up brats that only want everything. They don't even dare to jog!! But this one...Kinomoto Sakura she is an interesting one.
"Her father is not completely sane." Eriol said out of nowhere. I looked at him curiously.
"What?"
"Her mother died when she was still very young and her brother went to college in a different kingdom. She was left here with her father. But because of her mothers death, rumors have gone out that her father is not completely sane." There was an awkward silence between us as I mused over what he had just said. Her father. I don't understand.
"That's about all I know but Tomoyo knows much more than I so ask her another time." I growled. Why would I want to ask Tomoyo about this topic? Why do I even care. A few days ago I didn't even know this Kinomoto girl even lived in my country.
"Why the hell would I want to ask about Kinomoto's personal life?" I asked in disgust.
"Curiosity has always gotten the better of you Li. Especially when it comes to women's suffering lives." I hate him.
"Shut up." He chuckled to himself and I glared at him. Suddenly I remembered the presence of the two other beings here.
"Please Sakura!" I heard Tomoyo plead.
"No!"
"Li duck!!" Eriol lowered my head as I saw Kinomoto do two front flips and land on the other side of the picnic blanket. Tomoyo stood on the other side smiling slyly at Kinomoto.
"Still an acrobat I see." Kinomoto smiled sheepishly.
"Yes actually...I can only do it here..." Her smile fell. "Since father thinks this as evil too." She whispered. What was with her father?
"How can your father think that's evil?" I suddenly blurted out. Now all eyes were on me. "What is your father's name anyways." If I got his name it would serve for research on him later on. Kinomoto bit her lower lip.
"I'm not allowed to call him by his name." I was getting frustrated.
"TELL ME HIS NAME!!" I shouted unconsciously. Kinomoto screamed and hid behind Tomoyo.
"F-Fujitaka Kinomoto." She sputtered out. I realized what I had done and instantly regretted it.
"I-I'm sorry..." I began but was quickly cut off by her again.
"I must go." She said looking towards the sky.
"What?"
"Home. Father will be very upset and..." She trailed off and looked to the ground her eyes full of terror.
"And what..." She looked at me her eyes were now round and big terror the only thing that was visible in her emerald eyes.
"I must go." She repeated running away.
"W-wait!!" It was too late she was already pass the garden gates. I cursed under my breath and went back to the castle and clear my now confused head.
Normal POV
"Her father is insane." Tomoyo said her hands clenching into small snow white fits.
"What do you mean Tomoyo?" Eriol asked unclenching her fits softly with his own hand she didn't move.
"He abuses Sakura-chan by beating her every time he sees her. Later he'll drag her by the hair and lock her in a horrible garden where she spends most of her time in. She could even lose her life. I know because he did it in front of my eyes and threatened to kill me if I told anyone what he did. I was so small and so scared that I kept my mouth shut and ran away."
"Tomoyo..." Eriol sighed sadly squeezing her hand gently.
"Its possible that she'll lose her life today but not likely." Eriol just stared at her trying to digest the information but he couldn't. It was just too disgusting and unreal for something like that to happen to sweet innocent Kinomoto Sakura.
"Why would her do that? Its his own daughter...what is the reason?" He questioned to her careful not to bring up what she had seen when she was a child but she shook her head.
"The insane don't need a reason. They do things for satisfaction that is there one and only motivation." She said grimly.
Sakura's Home
"Reu please don't make me shout today. Now where is my daughter?" Reu remained silent looking in any other direction but at the sickly calm Fujitaka. "Reu!?" He said his voice raising. Still she remained silent. "You give me no choice then." He raised his hand ready to slap Reu across the face when suddenly something stopped him.
"Father NO!!" Shouted someone from the door.
"Sakura is that you?"
"Y-yes..." She timidly said fully appearing in front of her father and Reu.
"Where were you honey?" Sakura cringed at the way he said 'honey' It was to sugar coated, too sweet, too fake...too evil.
"I-I was having a picnic with the prince and his friends, h-he let me sleep over at the palace." She should have lied. She knew her father would not accept that. It sounded so...far fetched. But she was not use to telling lies or thinking to do so.
"Please don't lie to me Sakura, now tell me the truth." Just as she thought. He was not going to believe her.
"B-but its the truth! Father please believe me!" She pleaded but to no avail. Her father smiled wickedly and she knew what was coming. It was so easy to now that it hurt.
"Reu I must talk to Sakura alone, please leave." Sakura smiled at Reu another sign of reassurance and Reu left not wanting to upset her Father even further. Right after the door closed, the beating she received was more brutal than ever. No matter how much she was injured he just kept going. It was endless. When he finally finished he yanked her hair up and dragged her to the garden. When there, he threw her in with more force than she thought he had. "THIS WILL TEACH YOU NEVER TO LIE TO YOUR FATHER, YOU LITTLE WITCH!!" He slammed the door leaving Sakura in, she silently repeated to herself the phrase.
"I'm worthless and I deserve this my life has no other meaning but...this."

"I-I'm sorry." She quickly tried to get up but Syaoran brought her back down. But only this time her face was much closer to his and thier lips were almost touching. "L-li-kun..."
"Yes?"
"A-ano.." Their lips came closer together but when they almost touched Sakura stopped herself and Syaoran...
