Author's Notes: I'm sorry that I took so long to come up with episode six. But if I don't get feedback, then I won't know what you want. By the way, is my Dreamscape sequel a bit too corny? I guess I'll have to see what I can come up with for the next installment. By the way, I can focus more time to fanfics since my last exams are over!!

Song of Blood - Episode Six
Chapter 11
"There. Your friend should be able to recover physically but she is mentally unstable. I will attempt to devise a treatment for her." The Kjeldoran priest rose from the bed where Sakura lay. "Thank you for your assistance. I'm actually surprised that someone in Kjeldor would be willing to help a person who has the Sengir curse."
He looked at the entity with a warm smile. "I'm a healer. It is my job and duty to heal others, not judge them for their past crimes." Halvor Arenson rose to leave the small hut. "May the bounty of Kjeldor enrich your days."
"So what do we do? Just wait for Halvor's treatment?" Strider crossed his arms. "It may take too long...I do have an idea that might be able to trigger Sakura's real personality." Kero immediately looked at Strider with a glint of hope in his beady eyes. "Well, what is it?"
"You have to take Sakura to familiar places to remind her of the special times shared between the three of you." The guardian beast grinned. "We could take her home if you could open a dimensional gateway for us."
"The problem is that with the Sengir curse, Sakura can only live in a dimension with strong magic. The land of Kjeldor has strong magic but Tokyo would be another story. She has to tap into the land's magic in order to survive and your dimension has no magic to tap into." Kero gritted his teeth. "There goes any chance of returning home for a while."
The entity nodded grimly. "As far as I'm concerned, the only way to return home is for me to destroy those powers or at least disable all negative side effects. Unfortunately, there has never been a case in which the Sengir curse has been removed or the side effects subsiding." After hearing this, Li took out his sword. "She needs some sort of familiar atmosphere to regain her memory, right?" Kero sighed. "What are you getting at?"
"Strider, I'll need you to make sure nothing happens while me and Kero are away." Li pulled out the Return. "ARE YOU CRAZY?!?!? That card will drain you of all your energy!!!!! Not to mention your own life-force!!!!" The Chinese boy rubbed his ear. "Boy, you can sure scream a lot for a stuffed animal."
He stared at the card. "This is the only way for us to save Sakura. I know the gigantic risk but I have to take it." Kero sighed in defeat. "You're right...are you sure you can sustain the three of us?" A smirk came to the boy's lips. "Don't worry about it. All you have to do is help Sakura regain her memory. Perhaps you should pick a familiar event."
Kero crossed his tiny arms. "Familiar events...how about the capture of one of the element cards? The Firey capture! That is the only element card she caught with you." Li started recalling that time. "Return card, show us the capture of the Firey card!!" The tip of the sword hit the card and started working the magic.
Chapter 12
Sakura woke up with a splitting headache. "What the..." She saw an amusement park with people enjoying themselves. It felt a little familiar...she dismissed that thought until she saw herself with Li, Julian and Meilin. She gasped in surprise as a tourist walked right through her.
"Even though your personality has been changed, I'm sure your memory hasn't been altered that much." There stood the Chinese boy with the toy bear floating beside his shoulder. People were passing right through them as well. The giggle of that happy girl echoed through the park. "This was the time I spent with my friends."
"Who would they be?" The names etched in her memory came to her mind. "Madison, Meilin, Julian, Li..." Kero held up a paw. "Now, you said the brat is a friend. Who is the kid in the park, marching beside Julian?" Li clenched his fists. He'll have to kill Kero another time.
"That would be Li..." The memory started flooding her mind. "Now, do you see the amazing resemblance between this brat and that one? Logically, the brat on my right must be Li." "Will you shut up, you stuffed animal?!" The guardian floated up to Li's ear. "Listen, the only reason I'm calling you a brat was to awaken Sakura's memory of us constantly arguing." Li smirked. "Yeah...and also a chance to try out new insults."
"You can't be Li...you fight for Kjeldor." Li sighed in slight disbelief. "We never aligned ourselves with Kjeldor in the first place!! When you attacked us the first time, it was just me, the stuffed animal and Strider. There were no Kjeldoran reinforcements. We're not the enemy."
Flames started dancing around the scene. The Firey card has launched a rampage upon the park. "Firey..." A small smile came to the Chinese boy's lips. "This is the first element card we caught together." Kero gave a grin. "You also used the Windy and Water cards in combination to put out the Firey."
Now the Clow mistress had lost all of her trust in everyone. "I don't know anything anymore..." She collapsed in pure confusion. The Return card was recalled to Li's palm. He forced himself to place Sakura on the bed before he sat down on a chair, exhausted.
"Now what? I don't know if we actually did anything in there." Strider smirked underneath his mask. "Don't fret, Kerberus. You have been able to reawaken Sakura's genuine personality. Now the two personalities have to confront each other. Until then, there's no telling what will happen to her."
The entity crossed his arms. "She's searching for her heart. Similar to the boy who caused so much suffering as something he is not." Kero raised an eyebrow. "I'm just saying that it could be a while before anything happens."
"A rather long while to be precise." The Defender turned to find a woman in the doorway of the tent. "I'm sorry to intrude on you. My name is Gustha Ebbasdotter, Kjeldoran Royal Mage, fourth class." Kero growled. "What do you want?"
"I am only here to help as a repayment of a debt to Halvor Arenson. I have no alternate intentions." The mage knelt by the bed and felt Sakura's aura. "She is going through a rather intense battle with her personalities." Gustha took out a small orb.
"Is that your remedy?" She smirked as she rubbed the orb. "Every act of destruction has a repercussion. I'm using this to intensify the battle she has to go through so the personalities would be forced to work together. If they do not cooperate, then your friend will cease to exist."
TO BE CONTINUED...
I'm so sorry for the utter corniness of this episode!! It'll get better as well as my Dreamscape series. If you have a few ideas, I'm open for them!! Let me know in your review!!
Next episode: A confrontation of the two personalities occurs as the Sengirs prepare to attack.
