Chapter One: Departure
By: Ame-chan
Sakura
Sakura was sitting on her bed, looking out the window, her rich emerald eyes gleaming as the stars did in the night. Just a few days ago, her memory had flown from this world. Though Syaoran and Eriol found some of the broken pieces, she could only remember her friends and family...except for Syaoran. Sakura had no idea who he was when she first woke up after the battle.
His mother had planned to take them both to a dimensional witch, someone who could help them with traveling through different dimensions.
Sakura couldn't sleep tonight. The thought of traveling around in different times seemed frightening, always moving from one creepy place to another, having no idea what or who would just pop up at them.
Her eyes could view the pretty night sky, the moon in the middle, with sparkling stars dotted around it. It was pretty, as pretty as Sakura blossoms. Her lips curled into a soft smile. Sakura blossoms, the beautiful pink flowers. Her favorite flower. She could see them in the garden, the soft wind making the loose petals float and fall softly on the ground.
'Perhaps after taking a few steps outside would refresh my senses.' Sakura thought, getting up and putting something over her sleeping clothes.
Her feet made small padding noises as she made her way down the hall and down the stairs. Now the problem was how to get there. 'Of course, the door is at the back.' she thought as she walked slowly through the dark and quiet halls.
Luckily for her, she found the right door and opened it cautiously, trying not to wake the others. The wind blew at her as she did so, brushing against her cheeks. She walked out into the open night and breathed in. It was very relaxing, the Sakura petals falling slowly, the wind caressing her face. Sakura smiled. Something that made her feel peaceful, and free from pain and sorrow, free from any worry and fear.
Syaoran
Syaoran groaned as he sat up from his dreamless sleep. He rubbed his eyes and sat at the edge of the bed, and yawned. For some reason, he had woken up early in the morning for no reason. He still felt a sting of sadness whenever he thought about Sakura, how she couldn't remember him. He loved her and she didn't love him back...anymore because of her memory, but it was he who chose to break Sakura's magic pendant.
If Jeniva didn't try to take over all dimensions there is, he wouldn't have made that choice. But what's done is done. He couldn't change it.
Syaoran sighed, looking out into the night sky, that sparkled ever so beautifully with stars. The moon was bright, shining brightly through his sleepy eyes.
Something moving caught the sleepy young boy's eyes. A small lithe figure was walking slowly outside in the Li gardens. 'Sakura?' he thought, getting up and walking up to the window. From there, Syaoran could see her smile of comfort. 'She's comfortable being out there, even thought she can't remember much about anything.' he thoought solemnly, watching as Sakura made a small twirl under the falling pink petals, under the gaze of the moon and stars. She was so...graceful...
His eyes showed determination. 'I will find those fragments of her memory, I will because I care for her. I want her to know that I love her, for her to remember that I love her.'
Sakura looked like she was an angel out there, his sleepiness made him think she had beautiful clear wings, prancing about in the garden like a carefree angel. Never to be hurt or touched. She looked to pure.
Sakura
Sakura sat against a Sakura tree and relaxed. After a while she was tired, and fell slowly into sleep, her gaze still towards the moon. Her eyes blurred and she was fast asleep in the soft cool breeze.
But Sakura opened her eyes again, but her eyes seemed...blank again, as if her body took over her mind. Her face turned to the other side of the garden where Syaoran and Eriol fought with different monsters and killed Jeniva. Slowly, she walked down the stone path through the garden.
Syaoran
Seeing her looking happy, he was sleepy again, so he lay back down on his bed and closed his eyes, thinking about a happy Sakura in his mind lulling him to sleep again.
Sakura
Sakura had walked all the way, into that clearing full of holes in the ground. She looked around, and walked up to a tree up ahead. Her eyes scanned it from top to bottom and walked closer to it, looking closely in the middle. And there, she found what she was looking for her.
A sparkling shard of her magic was stuck in the trunk. Her hand raised up to it and plucked it from its place. It glowed and floated in its owners hand before returning back into her heart. After a few seconds, her eyes widened as a small memory came back to her.
"Daddy...where's mommy?" 3 year old Sakura asked.
"Sakura, mommy won't be here anymore. She...she..." Someone that she recognized was her father.
"Honey, mommy died." he managed to speak.
"Daddy, you're joking right? Mommy's just sleeping in her room right?" she asked fearing her father's words.
"No Sakura, mommy's dead." After a moment, he broke down crying and walked out of the room.
Sakura was just sitting there, her eyes were blank and full of tears. She couldn't believe that her mother was dead. She explored around the house, hoping to find her mother.
"Mommy? Mommy?" She cried. When she found her way to her mother's bed, she crawled up onto it, lay down and started to cry.
"Mommy where are you?" She continued to cry, waiting for her mom to come to her, until she fell asleep, the tears still streaming slowly down her cheeks.
Sakura was still mesmerized, her face didn't change into any emotion, but a tear slid from her eye. 'Mother...died...' she thought over and over again, her eyes beginning to close. She slowly sank to her knees and fell softly on the grass and was unconscious again. But her tears were still streaming down her face, as she did after she found out her mother had died.
Morning
Sakura opened her eyes from the weirdest dream; it about her finding a piece of her memory stuck in a tree and this piece made her remember her mother's death. She looked sad for a moment. Her mother had died in the past? 'Probably not. After all, it was just a dream...right?' she thought, getting up and rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. When her view was clear again, she realized she was sleeping in front of the same tree as her dream. Same branches, even same flowers. 'I wonder...' she thought, still pretty surprised. And looking closely, a small hole was left from where the shard from her dream was. 'It was real...but how did I end up doing that? I remember just falling asleep in the clearing under the moon...how is this possible?' she thought, raising a brow. 'But I better get back. The others might get worried.'
Sakura ran quickly back to the big house...mansion...and ran through the halls, taking the ones closest to the front door. Again, she was lucky and found her way through. Her rosy cheeks were still cold from being outside all night, but she didn't mind. She tiptoed up the stairs and walked slowly back into her room. 'I might as well take a shower and get changed.' she thought, grabbing a fresh set of clothing from the closet and skipped into the bathroom to take her quick shower.
By the time she was finished, it was about time to have breakfast. So she opened the door and went down to the dining room.
Breakfast Time
Everyone was silent as they ate, the smell of pancakes rising to their noses. Sakura decided to tell them about her dream...or whatever happened last night, knowing that it was important.
"Um...last night, I think I found another piece of my memory. I'm no sure whether it was a dream or not, but it seems real since I remember about my mother dying when I was three." she whispered, taking another small slice of her pancake.
Everyone stopped for a moment and looked at her. Yelan thought about it.
"I remember. Before, during school, you told me something like that. I think indeed that you found another piece of your memory. But do you think you found another one other than that one?" Syaoran replied, setting his fork and knife down. Sakura shook her head.
"That's all I remember."
"This might be because of the other pieces that Eriol and Xiao Lang found. When you have at least a bit of your magic back within you, you would be drawn to other fragments. So when a fragment is nearby, you will be, let's say attracted to it." Yelan explained, finishing her meal.
"So you're saying that I was 'attracted' to this piece I found last night?" Sakura asked, savoring that sweet taste of syrup in her mouth.
"That's right," was Yelans reply before getting up. "I've found the spell that would take you into the world the dimensional witch lives upon. I'm planning on sending you later this afternoon." she got up, ready to leave. "And mind you, other power-greedy monsters in the other worlds may have taken pieces of her magic for power. They will surely take advantage of its magic and use it." and with that, she left the room.
Tomoyo looked sad. Sakura noticed.
"What's wrong Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked, turning to her friend.
"I'm just upset that you'll be leaving today. Who knows when you'll be back to see us again." Tomoyo cried, rubbing her eyes. Sakura smiled warmly at her best friend.
"Don't worry, we'll be back soon. After, we can go shopping and hang out again...with my memory back in my head." Sakura replied, patting Tomoyo on the back. Tomoyo sniffed, smiled and nodded.
"Promise?" she reached her pinkie out. Sakura smiled brightly and linked her pinky with Tomoyo's.
"Promise."
After Breakfast
Sakura started to get nervous. What if it takes forever to get her memories back? What if...they died in a battle between some strange monsters and demons? She shook her head. 'I have to think positive.'
The worried Cherry Blossom walked over to her closet and picked out some comfortable clothing to wear. They'll be going soon, and she needed to get ready. Packing a spare set of clothing and other stuff in a bag, then put in over her head, on her left shoulder and slipped her right hand on top of her bag. (A/N: You get what I mean, right?)
Yelan came up and called the two down to her study for their depart. Tomoyo and Eriol were there to watch.
"Okay, I hope you're both ready to face a new adventure in other worlds." Yelan smiled, raising her magic fan. Syaoran and Sakura smiled back, their last smile to her for now. Yelan muttered a few long magic words and a swirl of magic circled her arms to her fan to the young teens standing front of her. It circled around them and a gold symbol formed by their feet.
"Farewell and good luck, Xiao Lang and Ying Fa." she replied, giving her last soft smiled.
"Good bye Mother. I'm hoping to see you soon." was Syaoran's reply.
"Bye, Yelan-san, thank you for all your help." Sakura smiled her best smile.
"You're welcome, dear." Yelan said. Sakura turned to Tomoyo.
"Bye Tomoyo-chan! Eriol-kun!" she yelled, waving as she and Syaoran started to evaporate and disappear.
"Bye Sakura-chan! Please come back soon!" Tomoyo waved back, feeling teary. Eriol just waved and smiled. And they were gone.
Yuuko's World
Sakura and Syaoran appeared in front of a house, and a pretty woman was standing there as well with a smirk on her face.
Sakura blinked and looked around while Syaoran was trying to resituate himself.
"I've been waiting for you." the woman replied, walking up. Sakura could see her more clearly now. She had Jet black hair and was pale but pretty and tall nonetheless.
"W-who are you?" Sakur stuttered, scared for a moment.
"I'm the dimensional witch. And I see, you two are Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li?" she spoke, looking down at the two confused teenagers.
To Be Continued...
A/N: I know, kinda boring...but hey! It's just the beginning. Perhaps it would be more exciting later in that story. Right now, I need to plan a plot for this sequel...P
