So I didn't go to school today either, instead I stayed in bed until three in the afternoon when school finishes being a lazy shit. I shouldn't be feeling proud about this.
I know I should stop complaining about this, but I have SOOOO MUCH ANIME TO WATCH. I'm also really excited for December because of the new Sailor Moon series that's being aired worldwide!
Exams this coming week. Kill me please. Oh, and to those who always review; THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT'S LIKE MOTIVATION! xD
Two different coloured eyes met jade green with false sadness towards her while the deep green eyes were completely empty of emotion towards anything.
"Remember not to show much emotion around him, he wants to keep you in a deep state of depression."
"I know Yuui, I work as a profiler too you know."
Something tugged at Sakura's sleeve and she turned her attention to the source; it was Tomoyo. She pointed to Syaoran who had fallen asleep beside Sakura on the couch and there was a silent laugh that passed her lips. Sakura looked over to see if Satoshi was still looking in on her and was thankful that he was no longer there. However, just because he was out of her sight, it didn't mean that he mightn't be listening in on them; she placed a finger to her lips and walked over to the door way to make sure that he wasn't there for her own peace of mind. She shut the door and stepped quietly over to Syaoran's side and looked up at Tomoyo with much amusement. Tomoyo looked back at her with a cheeky look on her face and watched as Sakura pulled a rubber glove from the disposable glove box on the desk and blew it up. She tied it in a knot and carefully retrieved a safety pin from Syaoran's coat. She looked at Tomoyo who was trying hard to contain her laughter and smiled. "One, two, three…" she murmured as she poked the blown up glove with the pin. "WHAT THE!?" Syaoran jumped awake, startled by the loud noise. Sakura was in a fit of laughter on the floor with Tomoyo, thankful that the windows of the offices were sound proof. "That reaction-oh my god," Sakura managed to get out as she laughed herself to tears. Syaoran slumped back into the couch as he realised what she had done once he saw the popped glove in her hand and the safety pin that he kept attached to his pocket in the other. "Sakura…" he moaned. "Sorry-I had to-I couldn't resist!" She laughed. "Ha, ha." Syaoran replied sarcastically. Despite being rather irritated with his girlfriend, he couldn't help but crack a smile.
As soon as his face turned icy towards the person outside, both Sakura and Tomoyo knew that Satoshi was outside the door with Yuui. Sakura opened the door and let both Satoshi and Yuui in, shutting the door again after them. "Syaoran, you've met agent Satoshi before haven't you?" Yuui said. Syaoran stood up as Satoshi held out his hand for a handshake, "Briefly at the hospital if I remember correctly." Syaoran smiled as he shook the agent's hand. "Yes, that's right." Satoshi smiled. "Tomoyo, Kurogane wants to see you." Yuui told Tomoyo. "Ok!" Sakura watched as her friend and colleague left the room with a minor smile on her face while hers remained emotionless.
Satoshi turned his eyes to Sakura and walked straight over to her. "Sakura-are you alright?!" He asked, reaching out to touch her hand in what seemed to be a comforting gesture. "Don't touch me!" she hissed. Syaoran looked at the agent apologetically, "Sorry, she's still a little uncomfortable with contact." He lied. "Bummer. But to be able to leave hospital is a good thing." Syaoran noticed a flash of amusement in the agents' eyes; Yuui seemed to notice it too. "Sakura may not be able to come back to work." Syaoran said. He watched as the corner of Satoshi's mouth curved upward for a brief second. "Wait-what?" Satoshi asked. Syaoran sighed and looked up at the agent, "I mean that she may never recover." He once again lied. "What would she do if she couldn't work here anymore?" Yuui asked, playing along. "Depends; at the moment she can live with a close friend or family member living off of payments from the government, or she'll be hospitalised." The doctor replied. Sakura stared at Syaoran's pocket, noticing that his hand was clenched around something. She kept a straight face, making sure not to screw up the act that was currently being played out by Yuui and Syaoran. Sakura slowly shifted her gaze up to meet Satoshi's face, addressing him. "Tell me agent...what do you like to do in your spare time?" She asked softly. Everyone in the room except for Yuui looked surprised by Sakura's sudden question. "Uh-well-gee, I'm not really sure; usually watch T.V. or go and see some friends." He replied. Sakura cocked her head to the side, "That's interesting…I like craft and reading," She returned, "But I…my life…it was…!" Syaoran stood up and helped Sakura over to the couch, giving the other two agents "the look". "Guess that's our cue to leave…" Yuui said, standing up from the chairs. "Catch ya later." Satoshi bid his farewell and left with Yuui.
Sakura looked over at the door and watched as the two backs of the agents disappeared, allowing her tears to fall. "He fell for it." Sakura murmured. "What?" Syaoran asked completely confused. "I wasn't supposed to speak up in the original plan, but we had to throw him off. Yuui and I spoke about it and we came up with an additional plan; as I was supposed to act like I'd never be able to have a good future, I'd ask a simple question about something that one would do while they were at home. As we predicted, it worked. He was completely thrown off his boat." Sakura smirked. "I don't understand. How did it throw him off?" Syaoran asked. "The way I addressed him."
Tomoyo sat quietly with Chii and Kurogane, not wishing to talk but also knowing that what she held was vital to putting the enemy away. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat, memories of her prison flooding her mind and keeping her silent. There was a knock at the door taking Tomoyo's attention away from her memories; Sakura walked in with Yuui looking a little worried and sharing the same sadness in her deep green eyes as the violet ones looking up at her. "Tomoyo…can I ask you a favour?" Sakura asked her friend softly. Tomoyo looked down at her hands for a moment before answering her caramel haired friend, knowing that she had to help. "It's ok Sakura-I'll tell them about everything." Tomoyo whispered softly. Sakura sighed with relief, "Thank you Tomoyo."
"I told myself that you wouldn't have to hear this, but it seems I can no longer keep it from you." Tomoyo said, looking at Kurogane sadly. "Is he around?" she asked.
"No-I asked him to go look through some of the victims' files." Yuui returned.
"Alright…on the day I was taken, I was walking here because I was called in for the missing persons' files. Sakura had been missing for four years. Unfortunately I never made it here; someone hit me over the back of the head with something-a blunt object of sorts. Next thing I knew I woke up in a dark cell-like place. The walls were cold and damp…I think there was some mould in the far left corner…I attempted to move myself around, and that was when I noticed that my hands were bound by some type of rope; it was scratchy and dug into my skin, made it bleed a lot. I remember looking over to my feet and realising that I was also chained to the wall-enough length to allow me to move all the way around the cell, but short enough to keep me from escaping."
She explained with her eyes closed, picturing everything, walking herself through what had happened.
"I called out for help, but quickly realised that the place I was wasn't a pleasant place; I could hear other girls screaming, begging over and over again for whatever was happening to them to stop…I listened to it all, and feeling helpless against whatever was happening to those poor girls. I yelled out at them, telling them to stop what they were doing, calling them cowards…that was when Satoshi opened the cell of my door. I lashed out at him…told him that he was an unfaithful bastard who wouldn't even try to help find his own girlfriend…he looked at me and smiled-he said "I thought you would have been able to figure out where she was by now"; I was speechless. I couldn't believe that such a seemingly nice man was so cruel. But it was true…he spoke to someone, told them to do whatever they wanted. I didn't realise at first that he was talking about me, but when I did…I think that was when I told myself I'd never tell anyone of what happened. I felt like I was being unfaithful even though I hated what was happening. I'm so sorry…"
Tomoyo's eyes were overflowing with tears, and she choked on her voice. Kurogane didn't seem angry or upset in any form, but Yuui could tell that he was indeed angry and upset as could Tomoyo, though he could tell that the anger wasn't directed towards Tomoyo as she initially thought, but towards the people who hurt her.
"You don't have to continue if you don't want to Tomoyo." Yuui told her. Tomoyo looked over at Sakura, "Did you tell them absolutely everything Sakura?" she asked softly. Sakura shifted uncomfortably and avoided eye contact with anyone in the room, looking up only as she felt a hand on her shoulder; it was Syaoran's, and he was looking at her with worried eyes. "What didn't you tell me Sakura?" he asked.
Sakura sighed, "When I found out that Tomoyo had been captured, I escaped my own prison and went to find her. When I did, I found her bleeding on the floor of that stupid cell. I managed to stop the bleeding using part of the dirty gown I was wearing. However, when I heard the sound of men yelling down the hall, I knew I had to get out of there and quickly. I didn't know how to help Tomoyo, and I knew with her state she wouldn't be able to walk…so I left and found the exit of that horrible place escaping on my own, leaving behind a precious friend…Satoshi chased after me and caught me-he beat and raped me until I was unconscious. It was one of the most terrifying things. Next thing I knew I was in a room with Tomoyo and they were testing some sort of drug on us-I think it was a narcotic…Satoshi always watched how I'd react to some of the other drugs, and he watched as I was filmed as I was being raped by other men. To be honest, I'd rather I got the worst of it than Tomoyo."
"What do you mean?" Syaoran asked.
"I had acid dropped onto my skin sometimes while I was being raped-it's his favourite form of torture. Then he'd treat it and wait for the damage to heal before performing the same sort of torture again."
Everyone shuddered at the thought except for Sakura and Tomoyo.
"Talk about issues…" Chii muttered.
"So Tomoyo didn't have that happen to her?" Yuui asked.
"Sakura was the one who saved me from dying. He had to punish her." Tomoyo replied.
"Tomoyo was supposed to be his next victim, but I stopped that from happening. I stopped her from dying. We both made a promise not to tell anyone about what had happened to the both of us, but it seems that some things can't be kept hidden forever." Sakura said dully.
"How did you really escape Sakura?" Kurogane questioned.
Sakura stood there, completely surprised. Figures they'd know I was lying.
Well now, that's quite a…history. Review? I love you.
