IT"S DONE! Sorry, I just spent 4 hours typing this up before school tomorrow, that's right school *sob* Started last Wednesday and whoever decided that band and chorus should be 0 hour is an idiot. Long story short I have to be at school by 7:00. Due to this, some collage level classes that my parents are making me do, and the fact that I can't take my computer back and forth between houses anymore means that this will probably slow down again. Also special thanks to SilverLunaMoon for being the first person to come up with a name for Syaoran, here's a smiley face :D

Less than a second after the noise ended Fai was running down the hallway towards it. Somehow he made it straight through the winding passageways without even pausing. Amy rushed after the Doctor with as they tried to keep up with their guest. They ran around a corner and almost caused a pile-up.
Fai had stopped in the entryway to another hallway. Sitting right in the middle of it was a girl, she looked about thirteen or fourteen. She was wearing some kind of white dress, and were those blood stains? She did seem pretty banged up, she had small scratches all over her arms and there was a large cut on her forehead that was bleeding down her face and sticking her bangs together. Her hair was a brown chestnut color and was cut very short, Her eyes, a jade color, were slightly red and she looked like she had been crying.
While Amy was thinking Fai had knelt down in front of the girl, who was hugging him as tightly as possible. She was sobbing now, taking deep breaths while he patted her back. Once she seemed to calm down a bit the Doctor walked up to them "Excuse me" he knelt down next to them and smiled at the girl "I'm the Doctor, now who might you be?"
The girl wiped her eyes again and nodded "S-sorry" she whispered "I'm still kinda confused about that part myself" She seemed to look past him for a minuet before clutching her head, new tears falling from her eyes. "Hoe, sorry, I'm sorry I don't know there's too many and none of them fit right." "Too many?" Rory questioned "Too many what?"
It was Fai who answered them "Memories, of course if this is her real age the amount would overwhelm her!" he said the last part mostly to himself "How ironic first not enough and now to many. Listen kitten don't think about them, concentrate on me, or better yet, this is a really neat building don't you think?" "But Fai-san I don't know who I am and it hurts!" He wrapped his arms tighter around her "Shh, doesn't matter, you're still our little princess. Having a huge migraine isn't going to change that, kay?" She nodded and smiled a bit "Kay, but…" "But?"
She let out something that could almost be called a grin she looked around at all of them "I may not be exactly sure who I am at the moment, but I do know one thing!" "Well!" The Doctor grinned back "Out with it then! What is it?" "I can still remember my name, or at least what people called me." She turned to the Doctor and held out her hand "Hello Doctor -san, my name is Sakura, Kinomoto Sakura, nice to meet you!"
When he had heard the noise Fai didn't even think, he reacted immediately. Though he couldn't recall ever hearing that specific noise from her before he could tell it was Sakura. She was easy to sense, even more than before. It was partly due to the fact that her energy was going everywhere, scattered would be the right word, like it was trying to reorganize itself. The other, was one that he defiantly would need to sit down and think about later. He had a slight idea what had happened but whatever it was he was thankful for it because he could tell exactly were Sakura was. Not that he was able to do anything but hold her when he found her. His mind was running circles trying to figure out what had happened.
The Kinomoto part of her name puzzled him, though he supposed that it could possibly have been her maiden name in the world she reincarnated in. But the way she said it made it sound like this was her original name from whatever world she originally came from.
The first thing he would have to do was get her memories under control, most mages, magicians, sorcerers ect... whatever you called them lived very long lives. As a result because magic is usually inherited, most of them as they get older are able to access more of their brain so they would not forget things or become crazy as time went on (though most preferred to act the latter anyway, much more fun) Ashura had taught him a lot on the subject once and he was trying to remember as much as he could, he'd been quiet young and it had been a long time.
He decided that trying to help her put up a mental block would be the best, then she could slowly break it down as she got older. It would be slow, it could even take decades before she could remember everything, but truthfully he doubted it would take that long. A lesser person would have completely shut down, but she was still managing to hold a conversation. Fai wasn't even sure he would have been able to manage that.
"Sakura-chan, I might be able to help you get your head organized a bit if you'll let me. I might be able to help you put a block." She looked back up at him "A block? So I won't have to think about all of them at once right?" He nodded "But I'm going to need you to let me into your mind…do you understand what I mean by that?" He hopped that she would, all of the versions of her had had magic. The one that had fought that man with them had used attacks of some sort against that man and it had been much more than the 'feeling' instinct she had used in their travels. They way she had fought suggested that she had been trained in sorcery which meant she should have had some grasp of her mental abilities. It would explain why she was able to still talk to him.
Sakura seemed to think about it for a minuet before looking at him again " I understand, I trust you Fai-san" He smiled at her "Now I'll need you to help sift through things, are you up to it?" She smiled back "Yep!"
The Doctor spoke up again "By into her mind do you mean telepathically? Would you mind explaining?" Fai glanced at him "I guess you could call it that, thought it's not like mind reading or anything. It can be very difficult to get into someone's heads unwillingly and it can be very painful for them. It can be used in a fight though I haven't had much experience with that aspect of it."
"It can be useful for communication too" Sakura added "If the people trust each other enough" Fai looked at her "Yes, do you remember where you learned that? On second thought don't answer, let's get this done before your headache comes back."
