"I Just Want to Help You"
"Jeremy talk a hold of my hand when we are ready please. If you let go, you'll be lost in time for centuries. I won't be able to come get you without losing my life." Sarah told him kindly pressing the details.
"Don't think that I'll allow it either." Syaoran, Tyler, and Touya voiced their main cause of worry. They looked at each other after it was said, grinning, or scowling, knowing that Sarah probably do exactly that.
Jeremy raised a brow at Touya's reaction. Instead of moving away, Touya moved next to her. She looked up at him and smiled. He moved his head down and whispered something into her hair. She nodded and turned her attention to her pendant. They both placed a hand on it and closed their eyes. Somewhat connecting to Lantis and mainly connecting to Alexandra. The scenery was back to normal. But as they concentrated on the power, their auras grew so bright that they other had to shield their eyes. Unknown to Touya and Sarah, the group heard music began get too loud enough for them to handle. Syaoran recognized the voice and looked over at Sakura who was still blinded by the brightness of their auras.
"Sakura, listen to the voice. It's Sarah's song!" Syaoran called out to Sakura who allowed her magic to shield her and the others.
"I can hear it. But what are they doing?" Sakura said moving to his side. "I'm worried that they'll be taken back to their pasts with this aura."
"Don't worry, Sakura. We were just combining our auras. Also calling on the two guardians that we follow." Sarah said as her and Touya's aura's brightness dimmed only to a faint glow. Sarah's outfit changed again. She now was in her black battle outfit. She took a deep breath and glanced at the Jeffery family. "I'm ready when you are."
"We are ready." Emily told her. Sakura gave Syaoran and Touya hugs before heading to the clearing preparing by gathering her energy and magic.
"Please be careful." Syaoran said looking at his 'big sister' and friend. She walked toward him her hand glowing a faint blue. In the center was a small necklace of a wolf. "Awww man. Not another one." he said joking.
Sarah smiled. "It's an heirloom from my family. The family that raised me. It's the family animal. You will always be part of me, no matter what. Wherever we maybe, together or apart, we can feel each other's emotions. You may not be able to replace my little brother, Christopher, but you have taken the other half of the void. Thank you." Sarah said placing the pendant around his neck. "Don't cry. It just means that we're family no matter what people say."
"Please me you won't die in there. I find some one I like and they disappear." Touya said gathering her up in his arms. Then more softly and into her hair, "I love you. I never want to lose you. To anyone." He then kissed her hair when she clung to him. He could feel wet water on his shirt. 'Why are you crying?' he thought through their connection.
'Because there are things you don't know about me. Touya, I…. I'm the heir to the Charmed legacy. My parents are Leo and Piper Halliwell.' Sarah thought back.
"Wh-We'll talk about this later." Touya told her aloud. She then joined Sakura and the Jeffery family. With both Sakura's and Sarah's magic, they disappeared in a rush of magic.
But before they could leave, Syaoran thought to Sakura, 'I really like you. More than a friend.' After that the loved ones of the male guardians were gone, lost in the past.
"She told you, didn't she?" Syaoran asked. He knew about Sarah's past. He had insisted that he knew about her past and family. She told him about her legacy and growing up lifestyle.
"Yeah. How did you know?" Touya asked actually seemed kind and curious.
"I told her and my mother that I won't go anywhere with someone that is secretive and other things. My mother already knew." Syaoran explained sitting down. Touya sat next to him. "I really like your sister, Touya."
"I know. Just don't hurt her. She doesn't need someone ruining her precious heart. Syaoran, why now did she tell me?" Touya sounded miserable by this new declaration.
"I really don't know why now. You may have brought it out of her."
"Alex, relax!" a voice yelled. It was coming from the south end of the park. Five shadowy figures were running toward them.
"Sounds like Bronwyn." Syaoran commented as the figures began to become more clearer. Alex was in the front with Bronwyn, Kit, Taylor, and Michael close behind.
"Where is my sister?! Touya, if she is dead, your dead. Now where is my sister?!" Alex shouted when he reached Syaoran and Touya who were now standing.
"She and Sakura are in the past." Touya answered looking at them with sullen eyes. He knew something.
"What happened?" Kit asked.
"Ah…..you know, don't you." Taylor stated the fact that sounded like a question instead.
"Know what?" Michael, Bronwyn, Alex, Kit asked, looking between their friend and Sarah's lover.
"You know about her lineage. You know about her parents." Kero stated. Kero decided that he wanted to go Bronwyn and the group shopping.
"Yeah, she told me before she left. Why now?" Touya said sitting back down again. He looked so sad and confused.
"Touya," Bronwyn sounded seriously sincere. "We're leaving as soon as school ends. You brought her out of her hatred toward other men. We thank you for that, but we are to protect her if she likes it or not."
"I'm really sorry." Alex now sounded concern instead of angry. They sat down with them and talked about everything back in America. Touya and Syaoran learned about Sarah's two rotties and calico cat. Michael and Yuki, who transformed back, were talking about setting up an account in order to keep track of each other. An hour passed when a light particles appeared in the clearing where Sarah and Sakura left. When the light dimmed to show Sarah and Sakura in their normal clothes, they were seriously weak. Touya and Syaoran reached them before the ground did and hugged them to their chest.
"Touya, I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't want the prophesy to rule my life. But in order to fully fill the void that would haunt our souls, I had to tell you. Touya, I…….." Sarah explain but was cut off.
"Shh… I know. But what happened to you in the past with HIM is behind us, okay?" Touya soothed her as he clung to her.
"Well done, my dear." a familiar voice said from behind the group. Sarah let go of Touya and looked behind him and the group. Touya followed her eyes and places himself between the stranger and Sarah.
"You again? Who are you?" Touya yelled.
"Is it? It can't be? Uncle Steve!" Sarah screamed happily toward her deceased uncle.
"Yes, sweetheart. Do you still wear my necklace?" Uncle Steve laughed as his spoiled niece ran toward him.
"Of course, my necklace never leaves my neck." She reached under the Guardian necklace to reveal a gold chain with a clear locket but inside was fragments of gold pieces. It was very beautiful against her semi-pale skin. He opened his arms for an embrace and she took the chance. He lifted her up and spun her around like he use to do when she was little. As she came down, she wrapped her arms around his neck. His muscular arms wrapped around her thin waist as they gave each other a massive bear hug. When they let go of each other, he kissed her hair as she smiled. "Uncle Steve these are my friends." she said waving her hand around the group. "There's Michael, Alex, Bronwyn, Kit, Taylor, Sakura, Syaoran, Yuki or Yue, and …."
"Touya." he finished. Everyone including Sarah was surprised. "Did you forget that I've been by your side every step that you took? Of course I would know who your friends are. "
"Hello, Mr. Morgan. Sarah has told us about you. You were her first best friend, you fed her ice cream when she was younger." Michael said with a smile and outstretched hand which Steve shook.
Sarah remembered something Touya said. "Touya, why did you say "you again" when my uncle came? Have you seen him before?"
"Yes, that day that Tom came, your uncle showed up and said that you were just tired." Touya said evenly.
"Oh." Sarah was speechless.
"My dear, I must return to my mother and father, but we just want you to know that Heaven will be peaceful now the Jeremy home." Steve said. "Don't worry; I'll never leave you alone to fend for yourself, ever."
Tears trickled down her cheeks as she said, "Goodbye, Uncle Steve. Tell everyone that I miss them and love them all." They embraced again before letting go. Touya, somehow made it behind her, pulled her into his arms after his energy sparks faded away. His arms felt tight around her as she cried into his shirt. They felt every one close their minds so that they could have some privacy.
'Why now? Why did you tell me that your heiress to the Charmed Legacy?' Touya silently asked.
'Because after this battle, which Kit foresaw, that we would have to leave. After the school year ends, I must returned home. The reason why I didn't tell was because when I received all my family's things, I made sure that no one except my friends, knew about my parents or life. Think of all the people that just want attention from other people that can give them what they wanted, I would be used.' Sarah explained silently.
'Why must you leave?'
'My job and life in the United States is calling. I must go back to my homeland. I'm sorry, Touya, I must.' Sarah said, touching his face tenderly. 'I truly am.'
"Come Sarah. I have a song that I'll like you to look at. But we'll need Touya's help. It's a duet." Michael said. Sarah withdrew her hand and looked curiously at him. Elegant eyebrow raised, lips firmly set in one side smile; she looked like an angel that was very curious about what her friend had in mind.
Even after begging for the song, Michael took them to the studio. The electronics room was simple with soft chairs and loads of dials and buttons. Michael and Alex sat down on the chairs in front of the sound recording equipment, because they knew the equipment and seriously couldn't sing. Taylor unlocked the sound proof room where Sarah could record her songs. In that room there was couches and mikes. In front of the mikes were music stand and a window. Sarah and Touya took their seats on stools behind two of the music stands.
Alex's voice came through as the girls except Sakura and Syaoran, who stayed outside the booth with Michael and Alex, sat down. "Are you ready?"
Sarah nodded as a song came on, "Honey Honey" from Mamma Mia the movie. Sarah started when she was cued.
"Honey honey, how he thrills me, a-ha, honey honey Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey I've heard about him before I wanted to know some more And now I know what they mean, he's a love machine Oh, he makes me dizzy "Honey honey, let me feel it, a-ha, honey honey Honey honey, don't conceal it, a-ha, honey honey The way that you kiss good night." Sarah girls chimed in. "Way that you kiss me goodnight." "The way that you hold me tight." Sarah sang. "Way that you're holding me tight." the girls echoed in a song-like tone. "I feel like I wanna sing." Sarah sang. "When you do your... thing. Honey honey, how you thrill me, a-ha, honey honey Honey honey, nearly kill me, a-ha, honey honey." Sarah and the girls sang together. "I'd heard about you before I wanted to know some more And now I'm about to see What you mean to me." Sarah finished.
"Good job, girls." Michael said. "Now lets do "Lay all your love on me" next."
Sarah nodded as she, the girls, and Touya changed the pages. The music started and so did Touya.
"I wasn't jealous before we met Now every man that I see is a potential threat And I'm possessive, it isn't nice You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice But now it isn't true Now everything is new And all I've learned Has overturned I beg of you." Touya sweetly sang.
"Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me "It was like shooting a sitting duck A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck I still don't know what you've done with me A grown-up woman should never fall so easily I feel a kind of fear When I don't have you near Unsatisfied I skip my pride I beg you dear." Sarah sung with such devotion and love.
"Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me." Touya sang with the same devotion as Sarah.
"Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me." the girls sang.
"I've had a few little love affairs They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce." Sarah sang sweet and real.
"I used to think that was sensible It makes the truth even more incomprehensible." Touya sang almost after her.
"'Cause everything is new And everything is you And all I've learned Has overturned What can I do?" Sarah sang smiling, enjoying the words.
"Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me." Touya and the girls sang in harmony. "Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me Don't go sharing your devotion Lay all your love on me." the girls sang. Touya stood and waked over to Sarah who was standing as well and smiled.
'May I?' he thought to her.
'You may.' she answered smiling.
Touya's face began to descend to hers. After what seemed like a century, their lips met. She wrapped her arms around his neck while his went around her back. All they could hear was the girls gasping.
Sorry to keep you guys waiting. I've been really distracted. School, guy, friends, other stories, all distracting. Well, hope you like it.
