Another chapter! Yaay! My brother wants muffins and I have to make them. Evil turd.
Enjoy!
Rena woke up startled to the sound of her phone ringing, causing her lovely husband to laugh while she spoke on the phone to her cousin. "Yuui? You know this is the second time I've been scared half to death tonight." Rena said as she caught her breath.
"You scare too easily Rena. I'm sorry to call you so late but I need you to get onto your computer now and get the files of all the missing women in Clow."
Rena sighed and pulled her laptop that she used for work at home and began typing quickly, something her husband had gotten used to.
"You're fast." Syaoron said for the umpteenth time.
"Who are you with Rena?" Yuui asked.
"Shut up-you're hearing things. It's three in the morning." She muttered.
"I'll find out one day." Yuui laughed.
"Ugh. Here-I've sent you all of the missing persons files. Can I go back to sleep?" Rena complained.
"Yes madam." Yuui answered sarcastically.
Rena slumped back into her pillows, the cool air from her slightly open window brushing against her bare back. "The cool air feels nice…" She murmured as she shifted her position into her husbands' arms. "Sometimes I worry about you." He murmured, holding her tightly. "Why?" She asked. "If what you say about this Satoshi guy is true, then I don't want anyone that's close to you to be anywhere near him-I fear for you." He answered. "You specialise in close combat don't you?"
"Yeah-I told you that my brother and I learnt when we were younger."
"And you taught me-don't stress. I can protect myself." Rena ended the conversation with a soft tone, drifting back into sleep in the arms of her lover.
Once again footsteps echoed down the hall to Freya's dark cell. She felt dizzy with pain and was breathing heavily, finding it hard to look up to see who was standing in the doorway though she had a pretty good idea who it was. "You look like you're in pain." His voice echoed around the cell. "Shut up you disgusting pig." She spat. He laughed and left, leaving her to pass out from the pain.
When she finally awakened, Freya found herself in the hospital of which she worked at with Syaoran, Sakura, Chii and Yuui by her bedside. "Look who's come back to see us." Syaoran smiled, relieved that she had finally woken up. "What happened…?" Freya asked, completely confused. "A woman came by claiming to have found you on the streets. We admitted you to the ICU about three days ago and don't worry, the baby's fine." Syaoran reassured the nurse. "Thank you Syaoran, that's a huge relief." Freya sighed with relief. "Chii, Sakura, come with me." Syaoran told the two girls, holding the door open for them to leave with him. That left Freya alone with Yuui, her husband. "I know you just woke up, but please tell me that nothing too bad happened." Yuui said. "I know that Satoshi is the ringleader of the men that work under him…when I was taken, I had a bag placed over my head and I was forced into the back of what I think was probably a van of some sort. I only got minor lashings with whips on my back, it's alright-I could handle it." Freya said. "I'm sorry I wasn't there to stop you from being taken." A deep sadness entered Yuui's eyes mixed with guilt. "You're blaming yourself again-Just like Sakura does."
"How do you know she blames herself for these things?"
"She has a kind heart-anyone that she cares for she feels responsible for; she might be a genius, but she can sure be dumb. The irony."
"I guess the people we're close to can see the sides of us that we don't want to acknowledge."
Freya took in a deep breath before telling Yuui something that she didn't want to acknowledge herself, but knew that it would be for the best and for everyone's safety. "I watched as agent Satoshi murdered one of the girls-I don't know if it was the same place I was being kept because he was streaming it through to me. I was forced to watch as another innocent girl was murdered. Please don't tell Sakura; I don't think she'll handle it well." She said.
Yuui clenched his teeth, starting to get even more irritated with everything that was happening. Why? That single question continued to nag at him. He couldn't understand what the trigger for the psychosis was. This man was psychotic, evil, and a sociopath. He couldn't feel remorse for anything that he'd done, he could only mimic it, and it seemed that Satoshi was very skilled at mimicking emotions that he couldn't feel.
Sakura stood outside the room looking through the window at Freya and Yuui with Syaoran and Chii. "I'm glad she's back safely." Sakura said, relieved that her cousins' wife was well. "It's a good thing that she only had a few minor wounds to her body, but I'm sure that whatever she saw in there wasn't pleasant." Syaoran reminded his girlfriend. "My sister's strong-well stronger than I ever was; she'll get through it with Yuui's support." Chii smiled, happy to have her sister back safe and sound. "I sure hope so." Syaoran murmured. "Where'd Sakura go?" Chii asked, looking around for her friend.
Sakura walked up the stairs to her sisters apartment, knowing that she was home as Rena had the day off of work-technically she still has to work, just from home. She knocked on the door, waiting for her sister to answer. The door opened with Rena standing there in a fluffy lavender coloured dressing gown; her hair was wet from being in the shower which was still running. "Sakura-I wasn't expecting you." Rena's blue eyes lit up as she saw her older sister standing before her. "Can I come in?" Sakura asked softly. "Sure-just let me go get dressed. Take a seat in the lounge room and I'll be with you in a sec." Sakura's cheerful younger sister answered, holding the door open for her. "And there's someone I want you to meet too." Rena said as she walked towards her room. "That would be your husband, right?" Sakura said. "How'd you know?"
"The ring marks on your ring finger. You take them off before taking a bath or having a shower so that the stones and the metal don't get damaged."
"That's my sister for you! Complete genius." Rena smiled before disappearing into her bedroom.
Moments later Rena came out wearing a white summer dress with daisies on it and a yellow headband in her hair. Following behind her was her husband; Sakura's eyes widened as she saw the looking man behind her sister, but also noticed the mismatched eyes; one eye was as blue as the sky while the other was the familiar amber colour that she knew so well. "Sakura this is my husband, Syaoron." Rena introduced him to her sister. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you." He smiled, holding out his hand to shake Sakura's. Sakura stood up and shook his hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you too." Sakura smiled back.
Rena sat with Sakura while Syaoron went and got some cold drinks for them, allowing the two sisters to talk. "I'm so glad you're alright Sakura-I was so worried when you were reported missing; it was hard to keep my head while working." Rena smiled, relief and happiness shining in her beautiful blue eyes. "I missed you too Rena; every day I hoped that nothing had happened to you. I feared for your safety and our cousins." Sakura smiled sadly. Rena's smile faded as she saw the sadness in her sisters' eyes. "Why are you so sad?" Rena asked worriedly. "I don't know if I can stop Satoshi before he kills again." Sakura replied. Rena looked at her sternly, "Oh please, we are going to put his arse away and rescue all of the girls and women that were taken alright? Besides, he gives me the creeps." Rena shuddered. Sakura smiled at her sister, glad to have her support. "So how did you get my address?" Rena asked curiously. "I got it off of Fai." Sakura confessed. "Yeah, but I kinda didn't tell Syaoran and Chii that I was coming here…"
"You know my brother?" Syaoron's voice came from the kitchen.
"Well yeah…we're in a relationship which is kind of weird considering you're both married…" Sakura laughed.
"How'd you meet?" Rena asked sneakily.
"Well the thing is I'm actually his patient."
"WOAH scandalous!" Rena exclaimed, making Sakura blush with a little smile. "I know you aren't just here for reunions, Sakura…" Rena murmured, things becoming a little more serious. "You're right; I came here because I was hoping you might be able to help me." Sakura replied.
What's she after I wonder? Hehe, you'll have to find out in the next chapter!
