chapter 4:How do I not miss you when you are gone

Seijuro High School-

"Eriol-kun are you okay? you seem worried then ususal' Sakura asked her love of life. Eriol smiled as usual, but being with him a lot taught Sakura that he may smile for people so that they had be happy. "No, Eriol-kun please tell what is worrying you?please" She lookd at him with her best puppy dog eyes and looked up at him. Eriol couldn't help but smiled and sighed "I was trying toidentify someone but that person immediatly blocked my magick easily.and that disturbs me..a lot especially for you as well" Eriolcouldn't help but plant a swift kiss on her soft lips as he said it and Sakura grabbed him and turned it into a passionate kiss.It was one moment he could forget all his troubles and enjoy the depth of this blissful moment.

Back at deep underground of Oshima mansion-

Hiko didn't go to School today he was watching his beloved kissing her so called b/f who tried to probe him last night. His green eyes blazed with his power. His long white hair swooshed aorund as walked around a glowing pool of elemental circle at this deep down magick room that he has created.He muttered something and the wall glowed with a mysterious stick like alphabet then he swept entire area in a circle and the walls of the circular room glowed with similar stick like alphabets as well.Soon, soon...to get him into a battle and test his power...he must attack one he loved most first then, it surely bring out him and his power.He wishe he could do it on someone else but...but that guy may know so may try to change it instead or fighting him.

He sighed and and shortened his white ahir to the shoulder length and teleporte dhimself to his room and got ready for his afternoon classes, even he can't but feel guilty for not going to morning classes.He strode out calling driver and hopped in and couldn't wait till tonight's action.

Sakura that night-

Sakura was having a pleasant dream for once in while none of those puzzling dream but just of her and Eriol."Wake up Sakura!!" Kero-chan's shouting voice woke her up "Wha...? Kero-chan? it's in the middle of the ni..." Sakura's magical sense got a shock a strong magical presence that is not Eriol's was present in nearby vicinity. Sakura leaped up and quickly dressed her self in a matching costume similar to Eriol's but of Dark coral pink and gold and decorated with silver and gold stars, of course designed by Tomoyo.She immediatly summoned the fly card and carefully flew out her window with shield card ready incase she didn't she where the attack came from.

She wondered forwhile confused by the where the signal of this magic was originating from. "How is our lovely Sakura cards mistress doing today?" Sakura looked around at an unfamiliar voice.She was shocked because a guy was standing there but her reminded her of Hiko so much but Hiko chan was a nice guy not like this guy she was facing with. "Who are you? and what is it that you want here?" He smiled and just swiftly took out his and pointed towards her and Sakura just had enough time to summon the shield card and there was a huge explosion of two different powers colliding.

"Sakura!!!" Kerberus came flying in fast as possible whcih nearly knocked him out backwards on the explosion of powers.It was only Yue who stopped him, who also felt Sakura's situation and came running after telling Touya what was happening and flew from Kinomoto residence. "Sakura! what he hell is happening? where is Eriol?" "Here! what the?!?!!?" Eriol immdediatly skidded to a stop as he say a guy glowing with intense emerald green power and Sakura with her power also glowing intensely pink with her power. "Sakura!!!" Eriol yelled across getting the guy's attention.

"Ah you are here, finally...I don't have any intention to hurt her...I only wanted to fight you." The guy smiled, a slightly sad but determined smile.Sakura immediatly weeped out her water card and released but the guy also shouted a sentence saw a formless blue power from the west direction of his magickal circle rise and clash with her water card. No matter how much the water card tried none of the sides were winning. Sakura immediatly called back the card and so did the guy calling back the blue glowing power. Eriol looked at the guy with deadly eyes of his and quickly started thinking this guy is trained in western and oriental school of magick. But it seems that his real strength lies in the western school of magick.Looking at his glowing ring of Runes told him that he almost could match a lot of the Sakura card's head on...but the guy wanted to fight him! not Sakura..

"Well...Some other day we shall see each other again!" The guy smiled and was about to disappear "Wait! at elast can we have your name?" Sakura asked, to which hi smile softened and with a calm voice he answered "Nicholas..Les Reiyals..I hope you will remember that name Sakura-san" Then he disappeared into thin air. Sakura stared after the Giy named Nicholas disappeared remembering his words"...Sakura-san" the way he called her Sakura-san it was familiar in some way and he caleld her Sakura-san!not many called her Sakura-san...Eriol, her father and Hiko-Kun. Thinking of Hiko samaNicholas kidna reminded her of him except of course Hiko-kun was too ncie to do anything like that, right?.But both had such beautoful green eyes..."Sakura-san?" Eriol tapped on her shouldr and woke her up from her deep thought. "Ah..Eriol-kun!" Sakura abruptly hugged him tight for comfort as Eriol closed hsi eyes and relaxed and gently stroked her soft hair.

That night again(AN:like 3 to 4 hours before 6 o'clock)

Sakura was asleep but she heard that beautiful voice again, but singing a different song. This time she was in a garden but it was like ruined landscape. the beautifu house she saw before was burnt and stone foundation were visible. still the garden looked liek something from a fairytale. She followed the sound of the music and found the guy she saw before in toher dreams like this playing his piano near a fallen pillar!

(Here goes the music I love this too much :( *sobs a sad music this music comes on at the end of 'Anna and the King') "How can I not love you?" Joy Enriquez

Cannot touch, Cannot hold, Cannot be together Cannot love, Cannot kiss, Cannot love eachother Must be strong and we must let go Cannot say what our hearts must know

How can I not love you What do I tell my heart When do I not want you here in my arms How does one walks away From all of the memories How do I not miss you when you are gone

Cannot trip, Cannot share sweet and tender moments Cannot feel how we feel, Must pretend it's over Must be brave and we must go on, Must not say What we no longer long.....

Sakura started crying, it was such a sad music but why is that these dreams are told through songs? was she ever reborn as another person before this life time?

^_~

How was that? I love the wistful song...By this time you know Hiko is Nicholas right? well if you didn't you now do! well...his heart which will only ever be given freely to one person and that is Sakura or Sakura's past life time before the present day's one..:D....
