Act VII I Want To Go Home

"The four waited in eager anticipation to see what the oracle looks like."read Touya.



"Hello everyone."A boy's voice greeted everyone.

"What the-"Li held out a protective arm in front of Sakura.

A blue-haired boy with glasses appeared."I am the oracle,but you can call me Eriol Hiragizawa."

Everyone sweatdropped."W-Where's the fossil,er,the old woman we were talking to awhile ago?"asked Yue.

"Oh you mean Taitsukun?"Eriol brought out a puppet that resembled the grumpy woman."She's my dummy."

Sakura poked at the dummy curiously."Why do you use these things and don't show your true self to others?"

"Because I don't want to."he said simply.He cupped her face."I'm glad the chosen miko is pretty."

Sakura blushed."T-Thank you."

"Hands off her!"snapped Li.

Eriol's eyes darted towards him."You are Li Syaoran."

"H-How did you know?"asked Li.

"I am the oracle."the boy replied matter-of-factly.He turned his attention back to the miko."We must attend to your wounds."he told her gently.He snapped his finger and hundreds of chibi replicas of himself appeared.

"What are those?"asked Meiling as she peered at the playful chibi Eriols.

"These are individually and collectively known as Nyan-nyans.They are my little helpers."he explained.

Sakura giggled."They're so cute!"

"These cute Nyan-nyans will heal your wounds,divine miko."said the oracle."Nursing you back to health will help a lot to ensure your safety in your return to your world."

She stared at her wounds that Li bandaged."Is it really dangerous?"

"It depends on the determination of a person to return to the world."replied Eriol solemnly.

"We need blood for the miko."announced one Nyan-nyan.

Yue and Li both stood up then looked at each other.

Eriol smiled."It's Ok.Both of you can help."

With the Nyan-nyan's help,Yue and Li were able to transfuse their blood to Sakura.

"Do you feel better now,miko?"asked the oracle.

She nodded.

"Now it's time to send you home."



"Everyone formed a circle around the miko as they prepared to send her back."read Yukito as Touya was cooking in the kitchen.

"Louder,Yuki!I can't hear you!"yelled Sakura's brother over the sizzling beef.

"The oracle ordered the miko to close her eyes and think of the person inher world that she wanted to be with."Yukito sudenly felt peculiar for no particular reason at all."M-Maybe I'm just hungry."he thought.



"The person I wanted to be with.."Sakura saw Yukito cheerfully waving at her."I want to go home because I want to see him again."

"Good.Think of all the places and people in your world."instructed Eriol.

"Yukito.Big Brother,Dad and everyone in Tomoeda Elementary school.."She could visualize everything oh-so-vividly-and-clearly.Moments later,she felt lightheaded.She was about to open her eyes when Eriol sternly reminded her mentally not to open her eyes and to concentrate only in her world.

"I want to say goodbye to my friends even if my eyes are closed."she insisted."Meiling,I hope that the next time we meet,we're finally going to be friends."

"Y-Yes,Sakura."replied Meiling tearfully.

"Yue,thank you for being so very kind to me."she continued.

"Sakura.."was all the emperor could say.

"Li.."

"Saku..Miko?"

"Please call me by my first name."

"Yes,Sakura.Be careful."

"I will,and thanks for being my seishi.More than that,thanks for being my friend."With that,she felt herself float far,far away.At the same time,a blue figure was pulled into where she camefrom.



"Yukito!!"Touya opened his eyes,his vision blinded by a red and blue light awhile ago.It took him seconds before his sight returned to normal."Yukito!"He looked at the floor where a red book was laying facedown beside his sister."Sakura!!"He carried her to the sofa and tried waking her up,but she was dead unconcious.He picked up the red book instead.

"The miko was able to return to her world."He looked at the sleeping Sakura."My sister is the miko!"He looked around the empty room."But Yukito..where is Yukito?"
