Normal POV
Tomoyo at first was startled by her little cousins flushed face. Sakura was just a big bubble that had just been blown and smelled like freshly picked roses. Tomoyo glanced down at her then back to the window. She watched the houses on her side zoom past as if they were just blurs in the world. A whole night at the Pure Bloods mansion and she had found little information. If there was really no way to stop the Revolution she didn't know what they would do. But the more pressing matter was her cousin. Sakura was across from her, they were in a limo, to be more accurate she was laying down on Li's lap her cheeks pink and sound asleep. Li's hand was bunched up in her cousins hair as he stared to the left at the passing houses. Sakura wore black pants with a pink turtle neck and a light brown jacket. It was October and the air had gotten cold quickly.
Tomoyo didn't know what to make of the little scene. This morning when she met with Li he was his usual cold self towards both Sakura and her. So these little signs of affection should mean nothing. But she wasn't an idiot. In the course of one night lots of things went down between them unlike her and Eriol. She glanced to her left where Kero and Eriol sat. Kero was rigid in his seat. He still hadn't spoken to her since last night. Eriol though, he was just, the same. His mood was calm and collected, he said nothing out of character and he smiled every now and then. She knew it was just a facade. The events that had transpired between them last night was proof.
Her brother still hadn't spoken a word to her. When they had met up with him at the front gate he acted like she didn't even existed. She thought he was being so immature but that was her brother. Immature and the best way to have him forgive you was by being mature and actually saying sorry for whatever you did wrong.
"Kero-chan?" She asked looking in his direction. He continued to stare into the cold blue sky. "Jeez..." She murmured under her breath then angrily stared at the carpeted floor of the limo.
The ride continued in silence. The only sound that permeated it was Sakura's soft snoring. Kero and Tomoyo laughed a bit because of the awkward little snore but soon went back to ignoring each other. They arrived at their home in what felt like two hours. The silence had been deafening and drove them nearly mad. When the car stopped Kero was the first to get out not even saying a word of thanks. Tomoyo huffed audibly.
"Sorry about him." She said glaring at his back through the open door. "Thanks for the ride," She said smiling at Syaoran then at Eriol.
"Wake up." Syaoran said shaking Sakura a bit. Tomoyo was surprised. That was the only thing she had ever heard him say that was close to regular English.
Sakura stirred a bit. She swatted away his hand from her shoulder and mumbled a curt 'Leave me alone' under her breath. He stared down at her unhappily then looked at Tomoyo.
"Wake her up, she is beginning to drool." He said back to his formal speech. But Tomoyo didn't need to do anything. Sakura bottled up and rubbed her mouth. It was dry.
"Lying elf!" She said shoving him. He didn't laugh.
"What was that?" He asking narrowing his eyes at her. Sakura yelped and jumped out of the car.
"Thank you for taking us home!" She said waving a hand and going near to Kero.
Tomoyo bowed and got out of the car. Disappointment gnawed at her insides. Eriol had not shown an ounce of affection towards her that morning. He acted like he didn't even know her which was unsettling. She expected Syaoran to be like that but not him. It was as if he was a womanizer. She wasn't the type to fall for that kind of man. But he had been so gentle months before she couldn't understand his change of attitude all of a sudden. Then there was Cereberous and his stupidity.
"Hey!" She shouted pushing his shoulder slightly. She was tired of being a mouse with him. She loved him to death but she wasn't scared of him. He glanced down at her then went straight to the front door. Her anger boiled. He had looked at her as if she wasn't even there. "Well fine! Have it your way! Next time tell me what the hell did I do!" She said. She couldn't leave it at that though. "KERO!" She ran inside after him. Sakura followed silently. She knew it was better not to interfere with their fights.
"I-I'm going to see if Suki is awake." Sakura said silently slipping upstairs. Its not like they heard her.
Kero sat down on the couch in front of the television. He turned it on with the remote and watched the first thing he saw. They were airing a new game live from Yankee Stadium all the way in New York. How he wished he could give the play by play of that game. Tomoyo stomped in front of the television until he finally looked into her eyes as if she was there.
"Kero!" She said her voice wavering. "Why are you so angry with me?"
He continued to stare at her. She wasn't going to let this one go. He didn't want to talk about it either. So he began to stand up to walk away. But Tomoyo jumped over the coffee table. She stood in his way. He glared at her. She was being stubborn.
"Move." He said. Anger bubbled at then ends of that one word. Anger beyond what she had ever experienced from him. He shoved her to the side and made his way to the stairs.
"STOP IGNORING ME!" She shouted tears spilling down her face.
Shocked Kero was about to turn around but his sister came behind him and hugged his back. She hugged him so tight he was afraid she could stop his air circulation. His shirt slowly became wet and she sobbed into his chest. Then she turned her head so she could speak.
"Onii-chan, please..." She whispered.
"Get off of me, Tomoyo." He said not moving. His sister just shock her head vigorously. He sighed. "Why do you keep doing this to me, little sister?" He asked still angry.
"What are you talking about?"
His body got hot. He broke free of her deadly grip and pushed her up against the wall of the stairs. His pupil dilated and shaped itself into a needle. His grip on her skinny arms was unforgivable. He couldn't believe she actually asked him that.
"Are you kidding! You god damn bimbo are your kidding me?" He shouted as if he had gone insane.
"Onii-"
"DON'T FUCKING SAY THAT TO ME!" He said. Tomoyo's words caught in her throat. She stared up at him as if he was a stranger. Kero never cursed at her. He took a moment to recompose what little of himself he could. "Tomoyo your you damned clueless." He said toning himself down to a mummer. "That Pure Blooded bastard had you in the palm of his dirty hand last night! After I told you what I felt. You still allowed him to manipulate you as if you were a fucking puppet!" He breathed in then out. He was letting his temper get the best of him again. "I told you. I fucking told you no...I pleaded with you Tomoyo. To please, for god's sake, to please just stay with me." Now he looked into her terrified eyes. "You walked away from me last night. I know where you stand and will not," He stopped then scoffed. "Forget it, you'll just say you don't understand." He murmured then began his climb up the stairs.
"No," She said shakily. He turned back and looked down at her with tired eyes.
"Momo, I said-"
"NO!" She shouted louder. There was silence between them for a moment. She realized it now. "He's tearing us apart. I won't let him do that. Onii-chan I want let Eriol do that to us!" She looked up to him.
"Whatever, Momo." He said
"No its not just 'whatever'! Last night...I'm so sorry 'Ni-chan. I like Eriol, I really do. But you were there for me so much more than he was. I will never let him take me away from you."
"You let him do that last night."
"Onii-chan!" She pleaded. "I can't think straight when I'm without you. I get scared and worry if your feeling the same thing I am. I always want to be with you." She stared at the floor below her feet which was becoming a bad habit. "I love you, its been this way since before Mom disappeared. I don't like being without you and I've never planned to do so."
Once again silence settled between the siblings. She dug in the pocket of her pants. She pulled out a little satin purple pouch. She drew the draw strings apart and dumped the contents of it in her hand. She smiled tearfully at her older brother.
"Remember this?" She said showing him. "Of course, it was my seventh birthday present, the year right before the Crior started. Mom told me you dug around your school for the perfect crystal stone for your little sister. She said you even went to the jewelers to have the gold chain attached." She lifted up the clear crystal stone by the gold chain. "You told me Mom bought it but I knew better." She shifted her gaze to the small jagged crystal. "I've never worn it but when I was lonely at school or at home I always took it out and put it on." She chuckled a bit. "I pretended that you were right there with me until you actually came home. It comforted me a lot. I even slept with it last night." She refocused on Kero. "I love this stone because you gave it to me. I love you because you are my only brother and no one can ever replace you." She put the necklace back in the pouch and gently slid it into her pocket. "Just like no stone can replace this one. I won't allow Eriol to take it away from me. So please," She begged. "Please 'ni-chan, don't be so angry with me."
"Momo." He said under his breath.
"See, I'm not going anywhere." She reassured patting her pocket.
A blood curdling scream filled the house. All was still for a moment then the two siblings dashed up the stairs. It had sounded too much like Sakura. They hoped from the bottom of their souls that it wasn't her. But the hallways were empty. They went into Sakura's room but that empty as well. They checked each room and eventually reached to their guardians room. Sakura sat on the floor as if she had collapsed. Her hands were to her mouth and she shook at the sight before her. There were people. Lots of ordinary people in their home. Tomoyo recognized some of the cheer leading team and people from school while Kero recognized the shop owners and the girl he flirted with at the dress shop the other day. They were all here. Suki was in the midst of them. She was on a cross ropes tied her down. Two men held the cross up while another man to the side held a knife in his hand. Sakura scrambled to her feet and rushed to Suki. Tomoyo and Kero went to stop her but there was no need. As soon as Sakura got 2 feet closer a barrier went up and electric shocks touched her hands leaving them burned and charred. She collapsed to the floor again and screamed for herself and for Suki who was unconscious.
"VAMPIRES!" Shouted a woman from behind the men. She held two paper talismans in her hand.
"Vampire seals." Tomoyo whispered. No wonder Sakura couldn't get close. They had come prepared.
"FILTHY BLOOD SUCKERS!" A cheer leader shouted point a finger. "FILTHY BLOOD SUCKERS!" she repeated.
"What are you talking about!" Tomoyo demanded trying to act normal. It was possible that all this was just a misunderstand, on their part.
"Don't act dumb you bitch!" A jock shouted. Sakura stared at him. He was the on who had tried to attack her at the party Tomoyo dragged her to. "Your a half-breed! A half-breed right under our fucking asses! I can't believe this!" He ranted. He pushed the man with a knife to the side and took the knife himself.
"You've got it all wrong! Why would you even think something so stupid?" Tomoyo continued trying to relax. This was going to be hard.
"She told us!" One of the men holding Suki on the cross said. "A woman told us that you were half-breeds! It made sense, everything she said made sense! Bless her for telling us what you disgusting things really are!" That one hurt
"Its just a misunderstanding." Tomoyo continued. In return she had a talisman thrown at her like a paper ball. She dodged out of the way but now there was a barrier separating Sakura from them.
Tomoyo frowned. This wasn't going to work. Whoever told them gave them every detail they could come across. As if they were vampires themselves. But there was no time to worry about who did it. They had to get out of there as fast as they could. She glanced at Kero who was already staring her down.
"I handle the people, you get rid of those damn barriers." He said with a grim nod. Tomoyo nodded back and Kero stepped behind her.
"Suki." Sakura whispered under her breath. The people holding up Suki looked at her. The two men spit on the floor with disgust.
The jock with the knife turned to Suki. Sakura's eyes visibly widened in fear of what he would do. He brought the knife down between Suki's chest. The blood sprayed and he moved away before it came on him and instead the blood came on Sakura's front. She continued to stare at her guardian on the cross. But she wasn't there anymore. Her pupil dilated and became very small. Now there was too much commotion for her to handle. People were running left and right in the street and she was alone. There was blood on the concrete and on the buildings. She ran and ran with another woman at her side. The woman had long flowing gray hair and long arms and legs. She stumbled every now and then but immediately regained her composure and continued to run. Then she stopped and stood in front of Sakura. Someone else, someone who wasn't running came to her slowly. They walked towards her while Sakura silently tried to blend into the woman's back. The woman said something but she couldn't hear her. Then all of a sudden she turned around and placed her arms around her. She held tightly to her while the other person slashed at her back with abnormally long and sharp nails.
Then she was back. Back to the next nightmare that was unfolding before her. Only this time it was Kero in front of her. Tomoyo tugged at her arms trying to get her to stand but it was no use. Kero punched someone in the face and they went flew backwards their nose shattered.
"TOMOYO!" He called out momentarily glancing back at her. "HURRY THE HELL UP!"
"Sakura-chan!" She called out. "Sakura-chan please get up! We need to go!" She didn't respond. "Please!"
Sakura was still lost to her. She cursed silently and ripped the sleeve of her white shirt. She bit into her skin until a good amount of blood oozed out. Then she pressed her finger to the wound and wrote on the ripped cloth staining it with ancient characters. She really didn't want to do this but she had no choice.
"TOMOYO DAMN IT!" Kero shouted again.
She took a deep breath. Slowly she held the cloth between her two fingers and raised it to her face. She closed her eyes to concentrate.
"God of the East. God of the West. God of the South. God of the North." She whispered silently. The cloth stood erect as she chanted. A small blue light surrounded her. "Let your reign be known from the ends of the earth. Cleave unto my voice and obey me. Transfigure." The light grew brighter then burst into little sparks. It went through her torso and entered Sakura's inanimate body. She placed the Talisman on Sakura's neck.
"GOD DAMN IT! WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?"
"Sakura-chan let's go!" She said. Sakura's body moved on its own without any consent of Sakura herself.
Satisfied with how it came out she grabbed Sakura's hand and ran out of the room. Sakura followed wordlessly still lost in a world that was beyond Tomoyo's reach. But she couldn't be concerned with that. She had to get her out of there before the other humans got to them. Beginning the Crior del Vampire was unthinkable but dying was not an option. So she ran as fast as her legs could take them. Part of her soul was now in Sakura so it didn't matter how fast she went, Sakura would go at the same speed and be able to keep up. She ran down the front yard of the house. The only place that she knew would be safe was with the same Pure Bloods that had dropped them off. Damn she really wished there was someone else they could trust. She ran down to the left regardless. Taking a cab wasn't a good idea. If the humans of the town had come into their home and killed off their guardian that meant the possibly the whole town was searching for them. Hailing a cab would not only be stupid but deadly. Sakura still had not said a word.
Halfway to their mansion she stopped. She heard footsteps a couple of miles behind them. It made no sense concealing her speed if they were already found. But it also opened an opportunity to be found faster. She let go of Sakura's hand and she crumpled to the floor. The only downside of the un-mastered spell was that they had to be in contact at all times. Tomoyo ignored her and jogged to the middle of the road. She held one index finger up and with her other hand held that index finger while letting the other one stand erect. She didn't close her eyes this time.
"God of the East. God of the West. God of the South. God of the North." Once again the blue swirl of energy encircled her. "Let your reign be known from the ends of the earth. Cleave unto my voice and obey me. Let your winds and thunder protect this area. Let a boundary that none but blood can pass." The light became brighter. It expanded and fluctuated. Slowly it crawled to the street concrete and made a straight line across the area. Tomoyo didn't know how far it extended to but she knew it was working.
She jogged back to Sakura a little weak in the knees. Now she had to get her cousin to safety before her power was drained. Vampires had abilities. But few came with the ability to change emotions and be a spell caster. Two abilities was unfathomable for normal standards. Then again Tomoyo, Sakura, nor Kero were normal vampires. It may have been awesome the power she was exerting but it wouldn't last for long. She picked up Sakura's hand and ran as fast as her vampire speed could take her to the Pure Blood mansion. The streets were all empty so there was no interference. They must have all gathered near their home to ambush them from all sides. It was much too obvious that the humans were scared of them so that was the reason they didn't attack the both of them. Kero was a different story. He was only one vampire, a half-breed at that. He could handle himself, Tomoyo thought as the Pure Blood gates came up ahead. The gate was tall enough to block a commerce truck but with another incantation Tomoyo opened it. A shock went through her system and she buckled to her knees coughing a bit. Kero had passed the first check point. No other human could pass until he arrived at the mansion. The two girls rushed inside the mansion. The first room that was the ballroom the night before was now a plush living room with fur carpets on the floor. There was a couch, the couch Li sat in the night before on the raised platform. Tomoyo placed Sakura there. She took the talisman from Sakura's neck. Another shock went through her body at the relief of another incantations end. She faced the closed doors they had just come through then closed her eyes. The mansion wasn't as big as the barrier that was in the street but considering that she was now exhausted this would be hard.
"God of the East. God of the West. God of the South. God of the North." Once again the blue swirl of energy encircled her. "Let your reign be known from the ends of the earth. Cleave unto my voice and obey me. Let your winds and thunder protect this area. Let a boundary that none but blood can pass." This time the blue light formed a circle at her feet then expanded to encircle the perimeter of the mansion.
'He's going to be alright' she reassured herself. Her brother would make it. She knew he would.
In the meantime she could now concentrate on Sakura. She sat limply on the couch completely oblivious to the world around her. Tomoyo suspected that she was still in the living room where they had slashed Suki. She could change her emotion but that would put too much strain on her body. There was only a limit to what she could do. So now she knelled in front of her cousin who's eyes looked lost in space.
"Sakura-chan." She murmured shaking her a little. "You need to come back. Come to me." But she already knew that it wasn't going to work. She sighed. "Li-kun. Can you call Li-kun down here?" Sakura's eye shifted to Tomoyo. A reaction. "Can you do that, call...what was his name again?" She asked herself.
"X-Xiao Lang..." Was her silent reply. Sakura responded to him. Tomoyo took note of that. The Pure Blood had wormed his way into her cousins heart through months of torture. She didn't know if her cousin was smart or just plain stupid.
"Yes him, call him." Tomoyo pleaded.
"Call...Xiao...Lang..." Sakura said slowly. "Suki." In that instant Sakura began to cry. She curled herself into a ball on the couch and began to cry. Tomoyo sat down on the couch and patted her back slowly. Now wasn't the time for her to cry. Another time, another place, just not here. Now now in this house.
'Xiao Lang!'Sakura shouted in her mind. 'Xiao Lang, answer me!'
'Princess?' His questioning voice asked. Sakura whimpered in Tomoyo's lap. She couldn't believe this was happening. She just couldn't believe it. 'Where are you? What is going on?' He paused. 'You are here again. I am coming down.'
Wherever he had been he dashed into the living room. His sister Feimi was beside him. She gasped in surprise. She was going to go forward when Sakura cried out.
"XIAO LANG!" She shouted rushing towards him.
He held out his arms and caught her as she basically flung herself to him. He wrapped his arms around her and dropped to the floor as she sobbed in his chest. He was already a little damp. When he had heard her voice he had been in the shower. The black pants and unbuttoned shirt he wore were the same from last night. He didn't risk taking longer to search for clean cloths. He was glad he made the decision. There in his arms was a girl he cared for crying as if someone had ripped out her heart and stepped on it. He looked up at Tomoyo and their gazes locked.
"What happened?" He asked sternly. He sniffed the air a bit then stared back down at Sakura. She smelled like blood, the blood of a Pure. "What happened?" He roared at Tomoyo.
Eriol padded into the room holding a tall glass of water. He glanced at the scene and scowled.
"What's with all the commotion?" He asked taking a sip of water. Feimi had a good mind to slap her second brother across the face. How insensitive could he be?
"We were attacked." Was Tomoyo's simple reply. Syaoran cursed out loud. "They were waiting for us with Suki. They had her crucified and slashed at her heart. This was the only place that I could think of that was safe for her."
"What about your brother?" Eriol asked his gaze cool on hers. He matched his emotion without hesitation. The bastard.
"He's on his way. He fought his way through the people to give us a chance to get to safety." She said. Eriol chuckled lightly.
"What a predicament. Never imagined seeing you so soon. But it might be to my joy that you are-" Before he could finish his snobbish comment Tomoyo marched up to him and slapped him right across the face. The sound of skin on skin resounded in the large room like a ping pong ball at full force.
"This is not about you and your selfish desires!" She screamed at him her eyes red and puffy. "MY BROTHER IS OUT THERE RISKING HIS LIFE FOR ME AND SAKURA!" Tears streamed down her cheeks as her emotions finally caught up to her. "I will not..." She murmured now calmed a bit by Feimi's reassuring rubs on her back. "I will not allow you to make a joke out of him!" She wiped her tears away and faced Syaoran.
"Li-kun. I'm sorry but Sakura couldn't move until I mentioned you. Please stay with her." She said then she walked to the door.
"And where exactly are you going?" Syaoran asked.
"To get my brother." She replied.
Eriol watched her back. The woman had just slapped him. This is why he despised them, they got so emotional over nothing. But before she reached the door he bitterly snickered as blood was vomited on the carpet from her mouth. Kero burst through the door and slammed them back shut. A mob of people screaming behind him but unable to pass the barrier that began at the courtyard. Skin seared on the barrier Tomoyo had put up. He immediately rushed to his sister and ignored all his cuts and bruises. He lifted her in his arms then placed her on the chair face up. She was unconscious.
"Damn it, Momo you overdid it!" He said. "How's my cousin?"
"I'm ok." Came Sakura's small squeak of a voice.
Kero faced the people before him. Two strong Pure Bloods, his traumatized little cousin and another Pure Blood he didn't know. He walked up to Feimi and bowed slightly. When he looked up Feimi was shocked to stare into he vampire like eyes. He searched her own then scanned the room again.
"Kero-chan?" Sakura said softly. He looked at her and his eyes softened. He walked over to her and patted her head lightly. "What's going to happen now?" She asked.
Kero noticed that she clung unto the Pure Blood as if he was the only one in the room. In turn he held her firmly in his arms. He could see that it made her feel at ease and safe. Tomoyo groaned a bit but did not awaken. He knelled by Sakura and Syaoran. Syaoran's eyes now locked with Kero's.
"Suki's gone. They've found out who we really are." He spoke softly. His voice barely audible over the racket the humans were making outside burning themselves on awn impenetrable barrier. He sighed and tears filled Sakura's eyes. "The Crior del Vampiro has began here. We have to leave."
"No! No! Kero-chan!" She pleaded as if her cousin could do anything. She knew what he was going to say before it even left his lips.
"We have to leave. Its the end for us here." He said as Tomoyo's barrier broke and angry, scared humans banged on the front door of a home full of vampires.
