Chapter 3- The Disturbing Dream; A Memory.



Sakura shot up in her bed, tears streaming down her cheeks. She began sobbing and woke Syaoran up. When he saw her crying, he began to worry. "Sakura, what's wrong?" Sakura didn't respond. She just hugged Syaoran tightly and continued crying. Syaoran rubbed her back trying to calm her down while saying "It's okay. Stop crying." Within Minutes she had stopped crying and slipped into a dreamless sleep.

~.....~

At that same moment Sakura woke crying, Kirin had too. The only difference was that Kirin was crying harder. Her sobs made it sound as if she were in pain. Those painful sobs reached Kale's room. He sat up wondering why Kirin, his strong and "fearless" Kirin, was crying. He got up and walked to her closed bedroom door. He opened it and looked in. Kirin sat on her bed, hugging her knees and crying into them. Kale walked over and sat next to her. He put his hand on her back and rubbed it, trying to calm her painful sobs. He wanted to ask what was wrong, but he knew she wouldn't answer.

A.N. Warning: Kirin's dream flash back is a little gory...

~Dream Flash back~

"Ahahahahahahahah. You pathetic sorceress. You think you can defeat me? Ha! I've already beaten you, why won't you just give up? It will be less painful that way. Hahahah!" cackled the evil sorceress. She was tall with long black hair and a midnight black dress. The dress was tight on her form, from head to toe. It had long sleeves and a hole in between the collar bones. The hole surrounded a purple cherry blossom tatoo.

"I would never just give up to a witch like you, Notoya!" a young woman with long black hair and fiery golden-amber eyes yelled back. Notoya growled. "Then you and your little boyfriend there will die painfully!" Notoya screamed and held her hands out. A small black ball began to grow larger in front of her hands. " Now, Miyuki and Ryo, you both.....will die!" she yelled before releasing the black ball. Miyuki and Ryo both held their arms in front of themselves, trying to be protected from the blast. They closed their eyes as it drew nearer. They were prepared to be hit, but when nothing happened, they opened their eyes. Their eyes widened at the sight before them.



Notoya's jaw practically fell to the ground when she saw that they hadn't been hit. Miyuki and Ryo couldn't believe their eyes. They had been saved from death by a sword. It had a silver blade with a golden hilt. Miyuki stood and reached her hand out. She stopped her hand inches away from the swords hilt and looked back to Ryo, her eyes asking if she should take the sword. Ryo nodded and she turned back to the sword. Miyuki grabbed the hilt and expected the sword to fall to the ground from it's weight. When it didn't fall, she was amazed.



"Where did that sword come from?" yelled Notoya. When no one answered her question, she screamed. "Fine! Your end will come in a sword fight!" Notoya cried. Then, out of a black ball in Notoya's hand, a black sword appeared. Notoya and Miyuki charged foreword, attacking. A few clings of metal colliding was heard, then a painful scream.



Miyuki stood there, holding the sword firmly in her hands and pushing the blade deeper and deeper into Notoya's stomach. Notoya screamed in pain again and again as the sword was thrust all the way through her. A small red line of blood ran from her mouth.{A.N.- as I said in the first chapter, I'll try not to make it too gory...} Miyuki pulled the blade out of Notoya easily. Notoya collapsed on the ground. She covered her stomach with her hand and then pulled it away. She looked at her blood covered hand and said, "It...It seems...as if...you...have won...what...a turn...of...event. Haha...Con...

Congratulations...Miyuki...you win..." she then fell limp. Dead.



Miyuki looked at her blade. It was no longer it's beautiful silver. Instead it was a combination of the crimson red of blood and shiny silver. Miyuki turned around, lowering the sword, and smiled at Ryo. He smiled back, then all of a sudden Miyuki's smile faded. She looked down to her stomach and saw a black blade with the crimson red of her blood on it. Ryo's eyes widened as he saw Miyuki's sword drop. Miyuki dropped to her knees when the black sword was removed from her abdomen. She placed a hand to it as she fell. Then, she removed her hand and looked at it covered in her blood. She looked back at Ryo, seeing horror in his eyes. He ran and caught her before she fell to the ground. Miyuki smiled up at him and mouthed 'I love you' before she fell limp in his arms.



A single tear fell down Ryo's cheek. He placed Miyuki on the ground, picked up his sword and glared at the one that stole his loves life. The young woman had jumped back when she removed her sword from Miyuki. She had waist length black hair and a purple cherry blossom tatoo. "Who are you?!" Ryo growled. "I'm the daughter of Notoya. You and your girlfriend killed my mother and now I want revenge!" the young woman hissed. Ryo lifted his sword, preparing to strike and the young woman did the same with her crimson covered sword. The two charged at each other, but no clang of swords was heard. In it's place was a muffled scream. Ryo was gritting his teeth in pain as the sharp blade of the black sword was driven through him.



The young woman laughed as she pulled her sword from Ryo. His hand immediately clamped over his abdomen. He dropped his sword as he collapsed lifelessly on the now blood stained dirt. The young woman laughed again and disappeared. Clow Reed watched helplessly as the young sorcerer and sorceress fought and were killed. His face tear stained from the tears of pain he felt from losing the two family members he loved the most.

~End of dream Flash back~

A.N.- I thought I said a little gory, oh well. I tried my best!

~.....~

Sakura and Syaoran walked quietly to their desks' and sat. Tomoyo looked curious and worried about the two. "Are you guys okay? You look like last night was the worst night of you're lives! What happened?" she asked. "We didn't get much sleep last night..." Syaoran answered. "Why not?" came another question. "Because...I had a horrible dream." Sakura said looking to her hands. "What kind of dream?" Eriol asked, beating Tomoyo to it. "I want to talk about it later...at lunch...with Kale and Kirin, also." Sakura answered him.



Right then, Kirin walked in followed by Kale. They walked to their desks' and sat. Kirin plopped down in her seat. When she did, her hand shot up to her abdomen and her face crinkled a little in pain. "Are you okay?" Tomoyo asked, worried. "I'm fine...I just ran into a corner of the table this morning... nothing serious." Kirin assured. "Ok...Well, Sakura had a dream last night... but won't talk about it until lunch." she informed as the bell rang.

~.....~

The six friends sat under the Cherry Tree ,their usual spot. They all looked at each other, then at Sakura. "Sakura you're not the only one that had a dream last night, I did too. First tell us your dream....then I will tell mine." Kirin said. Sakura nodded and began. "Well...It was like I was there, watching it... A woman, with long black hair, was laughing and looked at a young man and woman. She was telling them that she was going to kill them. She was a sorceress...an evil sorceress...she made a black ball of power in front of her hands and fired it, but..." she was cut off by Kirin. "But the blast didn't hit the two. Notoya, that evil sorceress, was angry that she missed...and shocked. Miyuki, the young woman, and Ryo, the young man, were protected by a sword. A very special sword. Miyuki and Notoya fought with their swords. Miyuki won, killing Notoya. But, then, Miyuki was killed...and then Ryo..." tears started to stream down Kirin's cheek. "They were both killed by Notoya's daughter. Notoya had a mark on her. In between her caller bones was a small purple cherry blossom tatoo." Kirin finished. She wiped the tears away and looked back at the others. "How did you...?" Sakura asked. "It was the same dream I had." she answered.



"That dream...Kirin is it really a dream?" asked Eriol. Kirin looked to the ground and then back up. She sighed. "Guys there's something you need to know. It's about Kale and I." Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Eriol nodded.{A.N.- Eriol already knows what she's going to say...} "The dream that Sakura and I had...It wasn't a dream." Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo were surprised. "What do you mean? It wasn't a premonition, was it?" Tomoyo asked. "No. I'm saying that Sakura some how saw a memory from some ones past life."

"So the dream was some ones past...It actually happened?!?!" Sakura asked. "Ok. But...who's past life was it?" Tomoyo looked at Kirin. Kirin sighed again. "Well, actually it was my past life..." "WHAT?!?" Syaoran, Sakura, and Tomoyo said in unison. "Ummm, well, you see....I'm the reincarnation of Miyuki...and Kale is the reincarnation of Ryo..." she explained. "But how and why was Clow Reed in the dream, I mean memory?" Sakura asked. She, Tomoyo and Syaoran were confused.



"Eriol, care to explain to your ignorant descendant, other reincarnation's daughter, and friend?" Kirin asked, sounding actually annoyed with them. "Fine. As you probably already know, Miyuki and Ryo were soul mates." The three nodded. "Well, they were born on the same day, so they were the same age and good friends..." The three nodded, again. "Well, Miyuki was Clow Reed's third daughter..." They nodded, yet again. "And Ryo was Clow Reed's younger brother." Their eyes widened. "You mean that Miyuki and Ryo were niece and uncle....and also...Lovers {so to say...}?!?" Tomoyo asked. Eriol nodded. "Wasn't that illegal? AND disgusting?!" asked Sakura.

"It was over 4,000 years ago, Sakura. Back then it didn't matter. I mean in the 1800's fourteen year old girls were marrying forty-six year old men, THAT was disgusting!" Kirin confirmed. "Oh...Hey, Kirin...what was your reaction to the dream last night?" the dense but loveable Sakura asked. "I think we had a longer night than you two did. It took a long time for her to stop crying. I herd her all the way in my room. She woke me up, even..."

"Kale!" Kirin snapped. "Sorry. But you really worried me. Your sobs sounded so painful, like you had been hurt badly."



"Sakura was crying too, but it just sounded like she was scared of something..." Syaoran mentioned. "Kirin, why were you crying like that?" questioned Tomoyo. "Because it hurt. I felt the pain of being stabbed right through. My stomach didn't hurt this morning because I "hit the corner of the table". It hurt because of that." Kirin answered. "Anything else we should know, Kirin?" Tomoyo voiced. "Actually, yes. The girl that killed us...She's going to our school and is in some of our classes..." "You mean she could be one of our friends? Or some one we sit by? Or..." "Sakura! Stop! Calm down, you don't need to stress over it..." "I'm not, Syaoran!" "Ok. Anyway, do you know who it is yet, Kirin?" he asked. "Not sure, but we have an idea....Right, Eriol?" Eriol nodded. {A.N.- Eriol doesn't talk much right now...} "Then, Who?" asked Sakura. "When we're sure we'll tell you. But 'til then...nothing." Kirin finished. The bell rang confirming that their lunch break was over.



To Be Continued...



Hey! As I said before, Gomen ni. I just couldn't think of what to write. BUT...as you all wanted, this chapter IS longer than the first two. Oh, and if you think you already know who the girl that killed Kirin and Kale, or Miyuki and Ryo, is PLEASE don't tell. But you can E-mail me what you think at:- sandrock_1@juno.com . I hope to have Chapter 4 up soon, but if it's long it will take a while... See Ya!
