Eriol was walking down a sidewalk on a pathway where Sakura trees lined it.
The entire sidewalk was littered in the pink flowers and he reached the end
of the path. There sat Ray, her long auburn blowing in the wind. Her legs
hung over the cliff ledge and she turned around to face him, her cold gray
eyes staring at him.
"Why are you here?" she asked.
"I came to apologize for the comments I made. I was totally out of line."
"You were," she muttered and patted her hand next to her, welcoming him to come next to her. He sat down next to her, staring at the falling sun, which was at its full glory with the red light streaking the sky and the warm rays fell on their shoulders.
"Why did you do it?" he asked, wanting, needing to know why she had left him alone in the world.
"I was created for the sole purpose of keeping Sakura alive. I failed and it is my duty to keep her alive at whatever cost."
"But why?"
"No one cares if I am alive or dead. Everyone takes me for granted," she said saddened by her words.
"I care," he said, brushing a lock of hair out of her eyes, which had fallen from the wind.
"Thanks," she said, smiling that rare smile of hers, and looked down at the ground, embarrassed.
Eriol felt a sudden rush of confidence and boldly declared," I love you."
"Feeling mutual," she remarked and kissed him on the cheek and smiled at him with that confident all-knowing grin and it came to him why she was smiling so evilly.
"This is a dream, isn't it."
"Oh course, but this could be a reality if you wish it to be."
"Well, you're dead and so that plan has gone down the drain."
"I'm not dead, Eriol."
"What do you mean?" he asked, not able to hide the excitement and surprise in his voice.
"Do you think I would actually die so easily?" she said laughing." I am immortal. Though I was born human, the powers given to me makes me that way. Clow put a spell on me for that exact purpose and I was to use it if Sakura died. My body may die, but my sprit never does, therefore I never really die."
Eriol smiled a rare thing in the preceding days and lunged at her and wrapped her in a big bear hug. "Tell me anyway I can help you get your body back, let me know," he muttered, burrowing his head into her bushel of hair. Tears were running down his face, wetting her hair and activating the apple cinnamon shampoo that Ray used in her air every day.
"Look, stop your crying. You're depressing me," she said gently and kissed the tears from one of his eyes. She pulled away form him and Eriol stared at her in mild shock. Typically Ray. Always being full of surprises.
"Why did you do that?" he asked, wanting to hear her say the magical three words in the english language.
"Because I love you. I've always have, ever since I was five and meet you." She said grinning at the fondness of the memories.
" So how can I help you? Do you want to me to kill someone and you can use the body?" he asked, willing to kill for the one he loved.
"Nah, even though I would love to see you attempt to kill someone," knowing very well he was all talk and couldn't do it. He didn't have the guts." My spirit is too strong to inhabit a normal body. My old body could handle it because I had unlocked magical abilities but the only way to create a new body is to use the crystal Mamoru has and use it to create a new one."
"I'll do that," he said and Ray looked down at her pooh watch and announced that she had to go. She leapt off the cliff, her wings spreading around her and she flew off.
"Where are you going?" he called out.
"To see Sakura-chan," she called back and sped off.
Eriol stirred in his sleep, sweating from his head to his toes. Tears stained his face and he licked the salt tears from his mouth. He missed her so badly. His blue eyes sprung open and a sleepy rage stormed down the hall and plopped down on the couch to watch Letterman. He needed some cheering up.
Sakura sat in her bed, the pink covers wrapped a round her for she was freezing. Dried tears sat on her face. Even though she had known Ray for only awhile, she missed her. She so unselfishly gave herself up so she could live. She had fallen asleep in Syaoran's arms and Syaoran had carried her home. He had set her on her bed and left her to sleep in peace. Syaoran had left the house and she had woken up from the accidental slamming of the door. She rolled over and closed her eyes, trying to sleep. She fell into a half awake, half asleep state and she was sitting in the park. This place held so many memories for her. She leaned her head against the back of the black wire bench and let the warm rays of the sun shine down on her. Her head rolled back in pleasure of all the memories that the place held: capturing the cards, transforming the cards, Syaoran confronting her after Yukito rejecting her, syaoran betrayal, the…
"Sorry to interrupt this magic moment but," a voice came from above her. Sakura could sense the person shrugging and opened her eyes and saw Ray dressed in a itty bitty bra halter top and a pair of flannel boxers. Sakura squealed in delight and leaped at her, wrapping her up in a hug.
"How you been? Thank you so much," she exclaimed.
"You're welcome, and I've been fine.
"That's good," and the two girls sat down on the bench.
"I saw you getting cozy with Syaoran," Ray commented, grinning that all so familiar all knowing grin.
"Yeah."
"Do you love him?" she asked
Sakura raised her eyebrow, surprised by the question. "I don't know," s he said, stretching her hands above her head." I mean I love Yue, but I have this.. I still have feeling for him, I think."
"It's tough I know, but look deep within yourself. Realize your true feelings. Both deserve to be loved faithfully, I am going to leave you now."
"But you promised you would protect me at all costs," Sakura whined
"Even if you can't see me, doesn't mean I'm not there. If you ever need help, I'll help you. I still have my powers and abilities," she said and as soon as she arrived, she left, vanished before her eyes.
"Rayyyyeee," she screamed and she woke up. She whipped her forehead off with her shirtsleeve and stood up. Just then the phone rang. Whoever would be calling at 3:00 in the morning. She rushed over to the phone, skidding on the wooden polished floor. She picked up the phone before anyone could wake up in the house.
"Hello," said a sleepy Sakura.
"This is Eriol, sorry to be calling at this hour, but I need to talk to you. Can you meet me here at 9:00?
"Sure, now can I go to sleep."
"Yeah," and Eriol hung up.
Sakura hung up the phone and stumbled up the stairs and collapsed on her bed, squashing a sleepy Kero. He whined in pain in his sleep and Sakura picked him up from on the bag and set him in his drawer. She then fell onto her bed and fell asleep.
Come 9:00, Sakura was in her pjs, standing at Eriol's doorstep. She had woken up 5 minutes ago and shoved some food down her face and flew here. Nakura let her in and she sat down on the couch next to Yue. Yue kissed her on the lips and she smiled as they parted. From across the room, Syaoran glared in their direction and Eriol grinned at his cute little descendent. The whole gang was there and they sat were sitting down on the assorted chairs and couches, waiting for Eriol who was at the head of the room to speak.
"I asked you all to come here for the sole purpose of getting Ray back. As you well know, ray died yesterday to save you Sakura. But she isn't dead. She just lost her body. We need to get the crystal from Mamoru who was the one who Ray made the deal with to make a body for her that she can inhabit and.."
"Why the hell did she do it,' interrupted Nakura, yelling. Ray was her best friend. They did everything together.
"I made a comment about her not playing god for once and she took it literally and did it," he said calmly.
"Hell yeah. Knowing you, you made her feel like a worthless piece of shit. For god sakes Eriol, the girl has given up her entire life to serve you. She has watched for years of you spending time on that evil bitch of a girl Kaho, while swooning over you in private. It is your fault that she is dead and knowing you, you never appreciate anything. Now I am going to leave before I hurt somebody, and go kick Mamoru's ass and get the crystal so see ya," she ended her speech and stormed out, slamming the door and shaking the whole house.
"Eriol, where did you get all these info?" asked Yue, in his usual cold voice.
"I had a dream last night where Ray told me everything."
"So did I," remarked Sakura and they started relaying their dreams to one another.
Nakura stormed down the sidewalk heading for the woods. She needed to do a transporting spell to get to America to find Mamoru and get her friend back. She reached the woods and hid behind a tree. She pulled from around her neck a small key and opened it, turning her into Ruby Moon. The color of her hair turned from a deep mahogany brown to a deep purplish red and her hair got visibly shorted so it came about to her chin. Two black and pink butterfly wings sprouted form her back and she spun the key clumsily around her hand. Ray had made her the key to help her with not having enough power without Eriol's help. It was one of her most treasured items though she had never needed to use it. Ray had told her to just say what she wanted the key to do so she whispered to the key," Take me to the castle of Mamoru."
A rush of air spun around her and she closed her eyes, afraid to look. She opened her eyes and she stood inside the gates of a huge stone castle. She took in her surroundings of lush green grass and a beautiful cloudless blue sky and she spun around and came face to face with a cute guy.
"I've been expecting you, Nakura" he said in a low sexy whisper.
"Why are you here?" she asked.
"I came to apologize for the comments I made. I was totally out of line."
"You were," she muttered and patted her hand next to her, welcoming him to come next to her. He sat down next to her, staring at the falling sun, which was at its full glory with the red light streaking the sky and the warm rays fell on their shoulders.
