Chapter 10: Déjà Vu
~*~Sakura POV~*~
"Did you find a dress yet Rika?" asked Tomoyo.
"Not yet." answered Rika
"How about you Chiharu?" asked Tomoyo again.
"Um… isn't the dance in a week?" said Chiharu.
"Tomoyo, do you mind making dresses for us?" asked Naoko as if she read Tomoyo's mind.
"I would love to!" stated Tomoyo, excitedly. I slowly got up the lunch table and carefully walked away so my friends wouldn't notice.
"I would make yours too Sakura!" said Tomoyo. Crap, I got caught.
"No need. I'm not sure if I'll be going anyway." I said.
"What?" all my friends shouted.
"You always skip school dance." commented Chiharu.
"Well, I don't really have a date." I started to say.
"How about your new boyfriend?" asked Rika
"Ask him to come to the school dance. I'm sure he'll go." said Naoko.
"Well…." What should I tell them?
"Does this mean we'll finally see him?" said Tomoyo, excided.
"Finally, we can see Sakura's boyfriend!" yelled out Rika.
"I'm sure he's good looking as Sakura describe." said Naoko.
"I'm not sure he'll be-" Before I finished my sentence, Chiharu began to talk as she wrote on her notebook.
"This will be the most romantic ball!" said Chiharu.
"You will invite him, right Sakura?" asked Tomoyo. Say no. Say no.
"I guess I can ask him…" I slowly answered. Why? Why? Why didn't I say no?
"Yay!" all my friend squealed.
Later when I finally came home exhausted, I saw Syaoran taking a nap on my bed. I have this so called boyfriend right in front of me, but there was one little problem…. HE'S NOT REAL!
"What should I do?" I asked myself. It's been a week since I woke up from a park tunnel, having no idea what happened that night. All I got from my curious search was that Taki was actually a ghost. I learned it the hard way that it's better to keep things curious than finding out the truth. Eriol hasn't been coming here since that bathroom room incident, where he apparently saw my brother…naked.
"A week…" I mumbled. I glanced over at Syaoran, who was sleeping peacefully. Eriol isn't here so there's no chance of Syaoran turning back into a human. Even if he does, he turns into a kid.
"Is there a way…" I mumbled to myself.
"Honey! You're finally home!" I heard Syaoran shout as he came over to me.
"I came home a while ago." I stated.
"It's such a nice day to go on a date, wouldn't you say?" said Syaoran, smiling at me playfully.
"Don't give me that look Syaoran. I told you already, we have no clue where to search for your body." I said.
"But..But.." Syaoran gave me one of those sad puppy eyes.
I sighed helplessly. "Fine. How about we retrace your step before the accident?"
"Great idea, but there is a problem." said Syaoran.
"What now?" I said.
"I don't remember what happen." said Syaoran.
"What?" I said in disbelief.
"I remember I was in an accident. I remember my name and that I was an orphan…" Syaoran began to say.
"Are you saying you lost your memory?" I asked.
"No, I don't think so. I just can't remember where I live or who I really was." said Syaoran.
"So you lost your memory…" I said, helplessly.
"I do remember I was eating cream pie." Syaoran said randomly.
"I guess that can be a hint." I said dully. There's no way I could find Syaoran's body. Does this mean I'll be searching for Syaoran's body for the rest of my life? If only someone can do the searching for me. Then suddenly an idea came to me.
"Syaoran, why don't we go to a detective?" I suggested.
"Detective?" questioned Syaoran.
"Yeah. You remember only some portion of your memory. It's like solving a mystery. If we ask a detective, I'm sure he or she could figure it out." I said.
"Well… I guess." Syaoran agreed. Finally, I feel like I'm getting somewhere. I quickly grabbed my bag.
"I saw this detective agency as I walk home from school. Let's check it out." I said.
"And how exactly are you going to tell the detective about me?" asked Syaoran. That's a good question.
"Well, let's just check out the place for now." I said. I walked out of the house and down the street. There was a detective agency nearby where I live. The building was small and the windows are always closed shut. I stared at the dark green building in front of me.
"What are you waiting for?" asked Syaoran, who was floating beside me.
"Um… Doesn't it look kind of spooky?" I asked.
"This was your idea, remember?" Syaoran reminded.
"Yeah, I guess." I said. Maybe this was a bad idea. I slowly opened the door and stepped inside the building. The moment I stepped in, I noticed dozens of candles everywhere.
"Now I'm spook." I heard Syaoran said.
"Maybe this wasn't a good idea." I said. BAM! Suddenly a door closed behind me.
"What was that?" I said feeling a little scared.
"Hello, how may I help you?" I didn't even saw his presence. I looked up at the dark and noticed a tall guy in front of me.
"Um…Wrong building?" I said.
"Don't worry Sakura, I'm right beside you." said Syaoran.
"Sorry about the lightening. I didn't pay my electric bills for months." I heard him say.
"He must have bad business." Syaoran commented. Weird, why doesn't he just open his window? It's really bright outside.
"I'm Detective Yue." As he stepped closer toward me, I could see his long silver hair which was tied back into a knot. Behind his glasses, he had gentle gray eyes. I let out a breath as I felt a little comfortable. At least he looks normal.
"What building were you looking for?" asked Yue. I gulped as I stared at his gorgeous eyes. Did I just say gorgeous?
"Actually I came here to meet a detective." I said.
"Then you came to the right place!" he said, excitedly.
"Please have a seat." he offered. I slowly began to walk in the dark room until my foot hit something hard. I looked up and noticed something was blocking my way.
"Sakura, you're walking the wrong way." I heard Syaoran say.
"What is this?" I asked as I touch something in front of me.
"It's a coffin." answered Syaoran.
"Coffin?" I retorted, surprised. Why is a coffin doing here?
"I guess it's really hard to see in here." I heard detective Yue voice.
"If you turn around and walk ten steps, there is a couch you can sit on." said Yue. As Yue said, I turned around walked toward the couch. Something doesn't feel right. It's so dark in here and he has a coffin. Could it be that he's a vampire? Calm down Sakura. There is no such thing as a vampire. I glanced at Syaoran and thought again. He's a VAMPIRE!
"May I ask your name?" he asked. I paused for a moment. I need to get out of here.
"Sakura?" called out Syaoran.
"Actually, I think it's time for me to go home" I said as I slowly stood up.
"Wait" I heard him say. I slowly turned around and look up at his white pale face.
"AHHHH!" I screamed as I suddenly felt dizzy. I fell back into the couch as everything slowly became dark.
…
"Sakura" I heard Syaoran voice nearby
"Sakura, wake up" said Syaoran. I slowly opened my eyes and noticed Syaoran floating above me.
"What happened?" I asked
"You fainted" said Syaoran. I fainted?
"Are you okay?" I looked over to my right and noticed Yue sitting beside me. I quickly sat up as my head started to spin again.
"I thought you seen a ghost" joked Yue. I glanced at Yue, who had a gentle smile on his face.
"What is it this time that made you faint?" wondered Syaoran.
I slowly moved toward Syaoran and whispered, "I think he's a vampire…" I said quietly.
"A what?" said Syaoran as he looked at me oddly.
"A vampire" I whispered to Syaoran, seriously.
"This feel like one of those Déjà vu. Remember you thought I was a vampire? I have to be honest, it was hilarious" said Syaoran as he chuckled.
I glared at Syaoran.
"Are you talking to someone?" I glanced back at Yue again and noticed he was giving me a weird look. I sat back into my seat.
"If you're talking to a ghost then please tell him to go away" said Yue as he smiled
"A ghost?" I questioned.
"Sorry, I didn't catch that. Was that suppose to be a joke or was he serious?" asked Syaoran
"I'm just kidding. But honestly, the coffin here spooks me out sometimes. It was here since the day I moved into this office. Sometimes I feel like I'm not alone. Maybe this place is haunted after all" said Yue as he laughed out.
"Haunted?" I retorted. Wait a minute. Does this mean he's not a vampire?
"So Sakura, do you still think he's a vampire?" asked Syaoran
"Do you believe this place is haunted?" I asked, seriously
"I guess it can sound pretty crazy" said Yue
"No, not at all!" I said. Suddenly, Syaoran went in front of Yue and looked into his eyes.
"He doesn't look spook to me" said Syaoran
"Actually, all these candles are special to keep the spirits away" said Yue
"I see" I said, gratefully.
Yue began to laugh. "You'll believe anything I say, won't you?" said Yue.
"That was joke?" I questioned, not amused at all
"He sure having fun fooling you, Sakura" said Syaoran.
"So what can I help you with?" he asked. I'm not sure if I can trust him…
"Don't worry, I won't tease you anymore" he said. I blushed slightly when he gave me a wink.
"Well, I'm looking for a person." I began to say.
"A lost and found case" mumbled out Yue. Lost and found?
"He's a childhood friend and I don't know much about him. Can you help me search for him?" I asked.
"Childhood friend?" said Syaoran, who seemed amused with my story.
"I was getting bored lately so I'm glad I have a customer" said Yue
"Let me guess, you're his first customer" mumbled out Syaoran.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't get your name"
"Sakura Kinomoto" I said.
"Okay Sakura, can you tell me more about this person?" said Yue
"He's name is Syaoran and he was an orphan" I said. Yue waited for a moment before he spoke.
"That's it?"
"Oh! He eats cream pie" I added.
Yue let out a long breath. "That's not enough information"
"This is hopeless. Let's go home" said Syaoran.
"Do you have a picture of him?" asked Yue. I quickly dug into my bag and grabbed out a piece of paper.
"I did draw a picture of him once" I said as I handed him the paper. Yue stared at the picture, oddly. Syaoran looked over Yue's shoulder and stare down at the picture.
"You didn't fix my nose" said Syaoran
"How about you describe him to me" said Yue
"Okay" I glanced at Syaoran and observed him carefully
"He has amber eyes and chestnut color hair…" I began to say. Syaoran grinned as he stared back at him. Feeling awkward, I quickly looked back at Yue.
"That's all I remember" I said.
"Umm Sakura? Aren't you forgetting my pointy noise, attracting big eyes, and silky hair?" said Syaoran.
"Japan isn't a small town so this might take a while" said Yue.
"I see" I said, disappointed
"But I'll start by searching all the name with Syaoran" said Yue
"Really?" I said.
"Come back this weekend, I'm sure I'll have something by then" said Yue
"Thank you!" I said, gratefully. I walked out of the building, feeling satisfied.
"I can't believe you hire a detective" said Syaoran
"Who knows, we might find your body sooner" I said without regret
"But still, there's something about him I just don't like" said Syaoran
"I think he's a nice person, except the part where he jokes around" I said
"I guess it won't hurt to ask help from him, but we shouldn't rely on him" said Syaoran
"What do you mean?" I asked
"We need to find my body in our own way" said Syaoran
"Our own way?" I questioned
"Isn't that Grim?" said Syaoran as he pointed at the end of the street. I notice Eriol standing alone under the dark shadow. Then I noticed that he was holding a silver chain.
"He's holding something" I said. We both walked toward Eriol.
"I thought I'll never see you again. So did you give up on that ghost?" asked Syaoran.
"Don't underestimate me Spirit." said Eriol, coldly.
"Somehow that chain looks familiar" I said, feeling I had seen those chains before. I gasp as I saw Taki walked out behind Eriol.
"Taki!" I said, surprised. Then I noticed the chain was connected to Taki's neck.
"Glad to see you again Sakura" said Taki as he smiled brightly.
"Hey, I thought reapers sends ghost to the gate" said Syaoran
"He's knows about the Dark Flower" said Eriol
"The dark flower?" I said. Then I remember what Kero wanted Eriol and Syaoran to find the Dark Flower in exchange for the transformation bracelet.
"Really? He's not saying that because he wanted to stay on Earth for a while" said Syaoran as he looked at Taki, suspiciously
"Trust me, I stayed here long enough to hear about the Dark Flower" said Taki
"He's the only clue we have" said Eriol
"Alright, it's not like I have a choice" said Syaoran
"That's wonderful!" I said out loud. Eriol, Taki, and Syaoran looked over at me.
"You guys can start looking for the dark flower and I'll just go home-"
"You're coming with us" said Eriol
"What?" I said, stunned.
"There's no way I'm going to be separated from my girlfriend" said Syaoran. Oh please….
"Why do you need me for?" I said.
"I'm sorry Sakura, but the dark flower is real which means you're the only one who can touch it" said Taki. I slowly backed away from them.
"That reminds me! I have a school dance coming up. I can't miss that" I said
"School dance?" retorted Syaoran
"Do you even have a date?" said Eriol, rudely.
"Of course! She has me" yelled out Syaoran
"Or I can go with her. All I need to do is possess someone" said Taki
"You're not possessing anyone. Aren't you too young to go with her Spirit? I bet she doesn't want to date a baby" said Eriol
"I'm not a baby!" stated Syaoran
"Like I said, I can go with her" said Taki
"Plus, it's not like I'll hold your hand again" said Eriol
"Like I need your permission" said Syaoran as he ran over to Eriol. Eriol quickly moved away from Syaoran.
"Stay away spirit!" yelled out Eriol
"It will be easier if I just go with her" said Taki. This is my chance to flee. I slowly backed away from them and began running. I slowly stopped running as I felt something was odd. I turned around and noticed a familiar fog. Don't tell me they transformed again?
"BAKA! How dare you hold my hand?"
"Don't call me baka, BAKA!"
Why does this situation look so familiar? I guess you call this situation Déjà vu. Then Taki floated out from the thick fog as he dragged the long chain along with him.
"Why is this chain so heavy?" wondered Taki. At the other end of the chain, Eriol crawl out of the fog.
"Shit, I feel weaker than usual" cursed Eriol, angrily. I looked over toward the fog, which was slowly vanishing away. Where's Syaoran? The fog finally disappeared.
"Honey!" Syaoran shouted as he ran toward me and hugged me tightly. I felt my heart throbbed uncontrollably as I stared at Syaoran. I felt Syaoran's long arms warped around me and his warm body tightly against my body. It's Déjà vu alright, but one little problem. This time he wasn't a child.
