Chapter Two: Dreams of Mystery
Written by Enchanted Ice Star
Beep, beep, beep...
"ARGH! Stupid alarm clock!!" Ying Fa groaned while throwing her alarm clock against the wall and slipping back under the blankets.
Beep, beep, beep...
Ying Fa groaned again and threw her second alarm clock under her bed and slipped back under the blankets once again.
Beep, beep, beep...
"GEEZ!!! Can't a girl have some peace and quiet?!" She exclaimed while jumping out of bed and slamming off the last alarm clock with a sigh. "I guess I had to wake up anyways...but it's still quite early." She took note to herself as she changed into her school uniform.
"I might not be late today!" She smiled at her reflection and pulled her long auburn hair into two braided pigtails with two yellow elastics.
She slumped down the stairs, her bag slung over one shoulder as she stepped into the kitchen. "Ohayo!!" She greeted cheerfully.
"Hey kaijuu, you're actually early," Touya said sarcastically as he placed a plate of pancakes in front of Ying Fa's seat.
Ying Fa's eyes widened, "Wow! You actually made breakfast for me?!"
"Pft, don't get to cute kaijuu," Touya chuckled. "Dad went out real early today, he has a meeting."
"Oh, I don't remember him telling me that," Ying Fa said while sitting down.
"That's because you never remember anything."
A stress mark appeared on Ying Fa's forehead as she stepped on her brother's foot since he sat across from her.
"KAIJUU!!" He howled.
Ying Fa just laughed as she finished off her last pan cake just as she felt a weird feeling go through her. She turned her eyes to look out of the open kitchen window..
What was that?> She thought curiously as she pushed her chair back.
Touya looked up with an odd stare, "Done already?"
"Hai," Ying Fa ran to the door and opened it. "See ya later onii-chan!!" She waved and disappeared out the door.
Ying Fa rounded the corner as she was getting nearer and nearer to her school. She felt that weird feeling getting closer and closer, and she couldn't help but notice something strange as she entered the university.
What's this strange feeling?>
Ying Fa didn't find out until it was lunch time, and Milisa and her were sitting under the brightly coloured cherry blossom trees on the school campus.
"Did you see the new kid?" Milisa piped in as she took a bite out of her sandwich.
Ying Fa tilted her head, "New kid? Nope, didn't even know there was a new kid on campus!"
"Well, I heard his name was Eriol Hiiragizawa, and they say he's pretty cute," Milisa winked. "But I personally haven't seen him around yet."
Ying Fa just nodded as her thoughts began to drift into her own land.
"Excuse me ladies, but do you know where the science room is?"
Ying Fa looked up and she met a boy her age with dark navy hair and eyes, a mysterious smile on his lips. "Oh, the science room?"
The boy nodded while reaching out one hand to help Ying Fa stand. "I'm Eriol Hiiragizawa."
"Oh, you're the new guy!" Ying Fa exclaimed and then blushed, "Sorry, that was kind of rude."
Eriol just grinned, "Not at all."
Milisa pointed towards her right, "It's that way. Oh, I'm Milisa Shierta by the way."
"Nice to meet you," Eriol replied.
"I'm Ying Fa Kinomoto..." Ying Fa introduced uneasily.
Eriol stared at her for a moment, and Ying Fa felt uneasily. Why is he staring at me like that?! It seems like he's trying to see through me or something...>
"...May I ask why your name is in Chinese when you are Japanese?" Eriol questioned.
Ying Fa blinked and then laughed uneasily, "It's a long story..."
"That's ok, I'm interested," Eriol remarked.
"Um...ok..." Ying Fa stared at the sky aimlessly and then sighed. "It all started five years ago, when everything seemed to be just darkness for me..." She started. "Everything seemed like nothing..there was just nothing there...and then all of a sudden I seemed to awake from something, and then everything was bright."
"Then...I found myself in a bed, and two people staring down at me. They told me they were my father and brother, and that I had gotten amnesia so I wouldn't remember anything. And truthfully, I didn't remember anything at all, I was so confused. I couldn't remember my own name, not anything at all."
"And the crazy part was that my family couldn't remember either! I was so shocked and confused, and so I chose my own name..." Ying Fa continued. "I looked out the bedroom window, it was April 1, and the cherry blossoms were blooming. And the name Ying Fa escaped my lips...I don't know when I even learned chinese, or if I ever knew how to say a couple words, but Ying Fa just came out of my lips. And so that was my name..."
Eriol nodded, a air of understanding seemed to surround him. "What an interesting tale...unique..." You are the right one...>
"You know, doesn't Ying Fa mean Sakura if we switch it to japanese?" Milisa commented.
Ying Fa blinked, shock crossed her face. "I never noticed that! Sakura..." That name...the name from my dream...could it have been talking about me all along? Then..who were those people calling out to me?>
Eriol seemed to sense the tension that had grown in the group and so he coughed softly. "Um, so I guess you two will be showing me where the room is?"
"Oh! Right!" Ying Fa snapped back
to reality with a sheepish smile on her face. "This way!" She declared
while leading the way.
"I don't see why master wants to pose as a student."
"Well, it was a smart idea don't you think?"
"Hmm...I guess so Suppi! But I don't see how that will help."
A little flying creature that resembled a cat just sweatdropped. "It's quite obvious."
"Not for me," A girl with long hair with one strand tied with two beads stuck her tounge out.
"Well, that way he can keep his eye on her and master might be able to help her find the right..let's say...path."
The girl leaned against the school
building, the shadows from the trees casting over her. "Well, I guess so."
"Aren't you excited guys?! The exchange students are coming in five days!! All the way from Japan!" Meiling exclaimed as Tomoyo, Syaoran, Yamazaki, Chiharu, and herself walked down the pathway leading to the ice cream parlour.
"I sure am! Aren't you excited Yamazaki?" Chiharu asked sweetly.
"Mmmm hmm...did you know..." Before he could start, Chiharu had already started ringing him by his neck.
Meiling, Tomoyo, and Syaoran sweatdropped. "Things never change."
"I wonder how they're going to like it here?" Tomoyo questioned out loud. "I knew that when I came here at the beginning, I was kind of frightened! Everything was so different!"
Meiling nodded, "Yeah, I guess I would be scared if I went into a whole new country just like that!"
Chiharu, by then, had already stopped choking Yamazaki as she sighed, "I came from Japan too! I haven't been back there in a long time! I just haven't found any time to!"
"Me either! But I do visit my mother over holidays, I'm afraid she'll get lonely," Tomoyo sighed.
Meiling turned to look at Syaoran who seemed to be looking at the ground. "Hey Xiaolang, where's Chun anyways?"
"Oh, she had to go somewhere after the bell rang," Syaoran answered.
"You seem, kind of...dazed?" She commented.
Syaoran just sighed, "I don't know...I've just had this weird feeling..." He answered. "A strange..power?"
Meiling's eyes widened. "Is it bad?"
"...I don't know...but something seems to be..weird." Syaoran commented. "I just think...that something's really going to happen."
Meiling blinked a couple of times, and then lowered her voice. "Magic?"
"Um..maybe," Syaoran replied in a low voice too.
"You two are walking so slow!!" Chiharu exclaimed. "Come on!!" She grabbed onto Meiling's hand and dragged her off into the parlour.
Syaoran stopped at the door to look at the sky for a few seconds. A warm light breeze blew around him, it felt so much like the day his blossom blew away...
"I wonder...if you're alright?"
Ying Fa quickly ran home and threw her bag onto the chair beside her desk. She opened her closet and dug through it, trying to look for a small suitcase.
"Oh there we go!!" She smiled as she pulled a small white suitcase out of the closet. "I wonder what the weather is like in China? What type of clothing shoud I bring?" She pondered out loud as she looked through her closet.
After a couple minutes she had pulled out a variety of different clothing with different colours. She proceded to packing other things, like toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, and other things.
"I can't wait," She cried in excitement as she closed her suitcase with a satisfied sigh. "China, Hong Kong...I'll be there in five short days!! It's going to be so exciting...!"
There came a tap at her door, and then Touya poked his head in. "Who are you talking to kaijuu?"
"Myself," She replied.
Another head popped up beside Touya. Ying Fa smiled, "Hi Yukito!!"
"Hi Ying Fa!" Yukito replied.
"What are you two up to?" Ying Fa asked curiously.
Touya shrugged, "Nothing to do nowadays, but it's almost time for my part time job at the supermarket."
"Same here," Yukito answered. "See you around Ying Fa."
"See ya!" Ying Fa waved at them as they disappeared down the stairs. She let out a sigh, "I wish onii-chan was as nice as Yukito-san sometimes...oh well, I can dream later." She mumbled as she stretched. "Time to finish some assignments!!"
She was in the middle of reading a huge textbook when she heard the doorbell ring. She tilted her head, wondering who it could be as she slowly walked down the stairs.
"Who is it?" She called out.
"It's me Kinomoto-chan, Eriol."
Ying Fa blinked as she opened the door. "Hiiragizawa-kun? What are you doing here?"
"Don't you remember? We have one of our classes together and we're paired up. So I was wondering if we should work on the assignment now?"
"Oh! I really forgot!" Ying Fa replied with a sheepish smile as she stepped aside for Eriol to step in. Just as he walked passed, she felt a weird feeling go by her.
Eriol noticed her sudden action and his eyes narrowed. "Is something wrong?"
"...Iie..." She replied as she shook her head gently. "I just thought I felt something..queer.."
Eriol grinned to himself. So she can sense my magic...yet she doesn't know what it is...does she remember anything at all?>
"Um, let's go upstairs and we can start," Ying Fa suggested as she started up the stairs with Eriol close behind. This strange feeling, the same feeling this morning...>
"Nice room, it is...very pink," Eriol commented as his observant eyes scanned the room.
Ying Fa smiled, "I just like that colour for some reason."
Eriol nodded, "Pink isn't to bad, the colour of cherry blossoms, my favorite flower."
"Oh really?" Ying Fa remarked as she took out another text book.
There was silence for a couple seconds, but Eriol decided to break it. "I find it really strange that you and your family do not remember anything at all since the past five years."
"..Yeah, it is really odd isn't it?" Ying Fa mumbled. "But I guess I can't do anything about it."
"What do you mean? Maybe...you can figure it out," Eriol shrugged.
Ying Fa blinked, "Figure it out...?"
"...I don't know, maybe some things will show you your past. Dreams, feelings...anyways, why don't we get onto work?"
Ying Fa nodded quickly, strands of
auburn hair escaping her braid. Dreams...is he trying to tell me something?!>
Misty clouds surrounded the area, and everything seemed foggy and blurry. She found herself standing there, admist of the clouds swirling around her, and out of the mist, she saw pearly gates.
"...Is this heaven?" She thought out loud. "Am I dead?!"
Of course, there was no reply, as the clouds continued to swirl about her in a dancing manner. She turned around and scanned the area, confused at why she was here in the first place.
Suddenly, she heard a peaceful, nice melody, that seemed to be coming from beyond the gates. The melody was soft and gentle, and had a light bounce to it. It seemed to be played from a harp, and whoever was playing it, made very delicate plucks on the silky strings.
"...Who's playing it?" She thought.
"Sakura..."
The girl's eyes widened at the mention of that name again. "Sakura? Please, tell me who she is?! Are you guys talking about me? Or someone else? Who's Sakura?!"
"....It'll be so soon...."
"...What will be so soon?!"
"..Everything..." Came a light gentle voice.
The clouds all disappeared, and darkness surrounded her. She closed her eyes in fright, and once she opened them again she found herself in some sort of garden...it looked like a Chinese garden.
A figure in shadows stood before her, as she wondered curiously who it could be.
"Who are you...?"
Two pairs of emerald eyes stared back at her, but the stranger gave no reply.
She made a step forward, trying to get closer to the girl standing before her. But she paused when the other girl raised one of her closed fists, and opened them to reveal a wilting cherry blossom.
Her eyes widened, "What do you mean? Are you trying to tell me something?"
The stranger made no sign of replying,
as the wind picked up and blew the shattered blossom into the wind.
