To Guard our Love--The Sequel
Chapter Nineteen: I Remember our
Love
Written by Enchanted Ice Star
Syaoran felt uneasy as he lead Sakura into his room. She had suddenly appeared at the mansion and said that she desperately wanted to talk to him. He turned on the lights and watched as Sakura scanned the room, taking in the green bedsheets and light green walls. To her, it looked peaceful and sweet.
"I take it you like green?" Sakura broke the silence with one of her smiles.
Syaoran couldn't help but feel the familiar warm rush wash over him, and he could swear to god that he was blushing at the moment. But an image of Chun made him feel guilty and so he quickly looked away.
"Uh...yes..." He replied awkwardly.
Sakura took a breathe and opened her mouth to speak. "I..I wanted to talk to you...about Sakura."
"What?" Syaoran asked, obviously not getting what Sakura meant.
"I mean, that Sakura."
Syaoran blinked, "...Oh...Sakura..." His eyes seemed to drift off, and Sakura noticed the sad look that had glazed over his fiery amber eyes.
"Um...I...uh...did you know she was the mistress?" Sakura questioned hestiantly.
"Mistress? Of the cards?" Syaoran answered quickly, wondering how this Sakura knew about them.
Sakura nodded, "Yes, the Sakura Cards right?"
"How did you know?"
"Your mother told me, and she gave me the book," Sakura beant down to drop her bag. She unzipped the bag and took out the Sakura Book carefully.
Syaoran watched her every move, it was so much like her...
"I'm the new mistress," Sakura said softly. "Your mother told me to take good care of this...the cards and all. It all belonged to the other Sakura before eh?"
"...Yes..." Syaoran was still trying to get over the weirdness of seeing the familiar book and the familiar warm pink aura vibrating gently from the book. It was then that he noticed Sakura had an aura, and that her aura was identical to the book..which meant..
"You're aura..is the same as her's..." Syaoran whispered.
Sakura tucked a strand of long auburn hair behind her ear and nodded, "That is what Kero told me too."
"Kero? Keroberus?"
"Yes."
Syaoran beant down to be of the same level as Sakura, and he placed a hand on the book she was holding. The warmth and familiarity was almost to much for him to bare, but he took a breathe and sighed.
Sakura frowned, she could tell that Syaoran must have had a strong bond with the other Sakura. She placed a hand on his shoulder, and gave him a warm smile. "Don't worry about it, maybe you'll see each other again. If not in this life, in the next."
Syaoran raised his gaze, and a small smile crept onto his face. "Yeah, maybe we will see each other again."
"Um...I wanted to ask...where did Sakura go? Did she..." Sakura started, but faltered.
"..I know what you mean," Syaoran finished off for her. "No, she did not...pass on...actually..." Syaoran stared at Sakura hard, looking straight into her emerald eyes. "When I met her, she was already dead."
"Nani?!" Sakura exclaimed.
"She was...an angel," Syaoran thought of the memories fondly. "She was, my guardian angel."
Sakura was speechless, she didn't know what to say. It was hard to believe, almost insane, and anyone else that listened to the words Syaoran were saying would have thought he was insane. But to Sakura, she actually, honestly, believed the words that were coming out of his mouth.
"I know, it sounds absurb," Syaoran chuckled.
"No, go on," Sakura urged.
Syaoran nodded, "I didn't know, she just suddenly appeared in my life. As I told you before, she was my shadow, following me, making sure I was alright. But usually, it was me who ended up protecting her. But she was my protector too, we protected each other, and one day, the final day, I finally found out that she was my guardian angel. I knew before, that there was something queer about her, she was not a normal girl, she was special."
"But god was cruel. And seperated us, it's been five years," Syaoran sighed, locks of deep brown hair falling into his face. "Five whole years, and I have no idea where she has gone. Is she up there watching over me? Or is she somewhere else? I don't know..." Syaoran glanced up at Sakura. "I don't know why I'm telling you this, I don't even know you well."
Sakura studied the look on Syaoran's face carefully. So the other Sakura wasn't a normal girl who had magical powers, she was a girl...no an angel, who had magical powers. A strange thought ran through her head...and she pondered if that could be the case.
"Maybe...maybe you do know me well," The words slipped out of Sakura's mouth before she knew it. She stood up quickly and stuffed the Sakura Book back into her bag. "Thanks for the time, I really appreicate everything you told me."
Syaoran was about to say something but Sakura had almost gone out the door.
"And Li-kun...maybe, Sakura has been watching over you," Sakura smiled brightly at him. "Maybe, she's by your side now."
And then she went out the door of his room, and Syaoran could hear her footsteps fading down the stairs, and the sound of the front door being opened by Wei.
Syaoran let the scent of honey and cherry blossoms linger in the air until he stood up.
"Maybe, she's by your side now."
The sentence rang through his head
over and over, replaying itself like a tape on rewind. And for one moment
there, he believed that his angel was there, somewhere, but always with
him.
Sakura was in deep thought as she walked down the sidewalk, a block away from the Li Mansion. She was thinking of wild things, but to her, it seem like a spark of hope. Maybe she was this Sakura, the other Sakura. Maybe they were one.
"You look confused."
Sakura lifted her head, and saw another pair of emerald eyes. Chun Yue.
"Oh! Chun-chan!" Sakura said, quite startled. She didn't hear footsteps coming her way.
Chun smiled softly, "Did I surprise you? Sorry about that then."
"It's ok..."
"...I want to ask you something...Sakura," Chun said.
"Sure, ask away," Sakura replied.
Chun stared intently at the innocent eyes before her. A weird sensation ran through her head, and she knew it was coming up. She had to hurry before it was to late.
"If you had a person you loved, the person you loved the most in the world, and you had to save them by giving up your self, would you do it?" Chun asked quickly.
Sakura blinked, she wasn't expecting such an odd question. "Um..." Sakura clasped her hands together and smiled, "Well, if it was my ichiban (number one), then yes! Living in the world, knowing that I could have saved them, would be horrible. And, I wouldn't ever want to do anything that could hurt him."
Chun stayed silent, and then smiled at Sakura, "Thank you for answering me, now I know what I will do." She turned around, long strands of raven hair blowing around her as she walked down the path and soon was out of sight.
Sakura shrugged, wondering why on earth Chun asked her that, but soon her thoughts were once again back to thinking of Syaoran and the other Sakura.
It was then that she noticed her bag was glowing and the Sakura Book shot out of it and landed in her hands. The book snapped open and one card flew out.
She wasn't able to read which card
it was, for she began to feel dizzy, and soon everything was black.
She felt like she wasn't in her body anymore...she seemed like she was seperated into two. One was watching herself move, walk, smile, jump, and she was just watching from a distance.
A girl with auburn hair gently pushed a boy with brown hair down and placed the cloth on his forehead.
He yelped and jumped into a sitting position. "HOT HOT HOT HOT!!"
The girl blinked at him, "Hoe?"
He threw the cloth off his forehead, "Can't you feel that?! That cloth was steaming!!"
"It was? I didn't notice..." The girl picked it up easily and the boy stared at her wide eyed. "I wasn't sure if the red tap was cold water or the blue tap. But the red looked nicer so I turned that one." She stated simply and went back into the washroom. "But I guess the blue tap is suppose to be cold water."
A flash of colors seem to go by her eyes, and the scene faded into a far distance to her.
What was that? She asked herself.
...The girl was me...
.....The boy....was.....him....him....
She felt herself plumeting down
into darkness, falling and falling.....
She sighed softly, and looked up at the twinkling stars. "The stars are shining more brightly today..." She thought out loud as a small cool breeze blew pass her.
"They are, aren't they?" The girl turned around at the voice, and saw the same boy with unruly brown hair standing there with his hands in his pockets. "You shouldn't be standing out here in the cold without wearing something warm."
She tilted her head slightly, "I'm
fine, but thank you for caring." She smiled while turning around again
to stare at the stars.
Once again the scene faded, a flash of pink and purple, black and white, everything was a blur. It felt like, she was going back in time? Watching her past self moving and talking...to that boy with unruly brown hair...that boy...that girl...they were younger than her...yet the girl resembled her greatly. It would have been what she looked like five years ago....
And that boy...
Fiery amber eyes....
She yearned to remember who it
was...that girl....
"Let go of me Li-kun," The girl said softly.
"No," Was his firm reply.
She felt warm after that reply, but she knew he shouldn't be risking his life. She was suppose to be protecting his life with all her life! This just wasn't right! "Let go, onegai (please)?"
"Try pulling yourself up," He ignored her plea, instead he wanted her to pull herself up somehow. She could hear the stress in his voice, and she could feel her own hand slipping slowly out of his.
She looked back up at him, and she could see an intense fire in his amber eyes. Locks of amber hair fell in his face as he tried to pull her up harder, but it just made the grip between them loosen even more.
"Please, let go," The girl plead
again.
Li-kun.....
..................Li-kun.................
.......S..Shaoran....
...I...
I.........
..........I....
...REMEMBER!!!!
I love Li Syaoran!
"Kinomoto-chan!"
"Kinomoto!"
"Sakura-chan!!"
"Wake up!!"
She felt herself being shaken back and forth as her eyelids fluttered open. She saw plenty of eyes staring down at her, ruby ones, amethyst ones, light brown ones, ...and those fiery amber ones.
"I...I remember..." The words slipped out of her mouth as she sat up and she found herself in a hospital bed. She raised one hand to touch her forehead, it throbbed painfully as she winced. "What happened?"
"I found you lying on the sidewalk!" Tomoyo exclaimed. "I was so scared! But you were breathing, and I didn't know what to do. Luckily we were close to Li-kun's house so I could get their help."
Sakura turned her head towards the boy standing beside her bed. She stared at him for a while, and one hand went absently up to his face tenderly. "...Shaoran-kun..." She mumbled.
Syaoran's eyes widened. 'Shaoran' had been her nickname for him....but how did this Sakura know...
Sakura looked around at everyone, and everyone got the message that they wanted to be left alone. As everyone filed out of the room, Syaoran and Sakura were left alone in silence.
"I remember....Shaoran," Sakura could feel tears building up in her emerald eyes. "I remember!"
"You remember?"
"I remember everything!!!" She exclaimed and lept into his arms. "I remember that I love you!!!!"
Syaoran was taken aback and stumbled backwards a bit at the impact. Absent mindedly, his arms went around her, it felt right. "Sakura? Sakura?! Is it you?! Really you?!"
"Yes Li Syaoran!!! I'm back!!" She cried through tears of joy as she buried her head into his chest. "I remember everything now! The time I was falling off the cliff, the cold water and the hot water, the time you confessed your love to me..and how we couldn't be." She pulled back to stare into his eyes. "I remember." She said softly.
Syaoran couldn't help but feel the rush of emotion that ran through his body. His heart was pounding furiously, overjoyed that five years of waiting had been over. He was confused, but he didn't care, his angel was back before his eyes.
"But how..?" Syaoran asked softly.
Sakura tilted her head as she seemed to think. "...I...I don't know....." That was when she noticed something was in her hand, and as she looked down she saw a Sakura Card, the Return Card.
"...The...Return Card..."
Syaoran followed her gaze and saw the card in her hand. "The one that brings you back to the past..."
"That's how I remember!" She was about to say more when she winced.
"Sakura! What's wrong?!"
"I don't know..." She cried and soon
it was all black once again.
Sakura....
......Sakura.......
..................Sakura......
"Hoe? Who's calling me?"
"Me."
A figure emerged out of the foggy mist, and her eyes widened as she saw her twin standing before her. Yet, this girl was in long white robes and angel wings, yet she looked transparent.
"Who...Who are you?" She asked.
"I am you," The girl replied. "I am your past self, an angel, as you remember?"
She nodded, "I remember."
"You are no longer one, you are human...you live life as a human now, a mortal."
She felt confused, "But...how did I become one?"
"We did something wrong, we broke the laws of heaven. We fell in love with a human, and so we had to take the punishment of becoming a mortal. Memories erased..yet you have remembered them once again." Her other self smiled brightly. "I am glad."
She felt herself smiling back ,"Then..everything's fine now."
"No, not everything. There is other problems ahead, be careful."
She wanted to ask more, but slowly...everything
was gone...
"Sakura?!!"
Her eyes snapped opened, "Hoe?!"
"Oh god you scared me," Syaoran muttered and hugged her tightly. "You just blacked out like that again."
"Gomen nasai.." Sakura answered meekly. "I..just had a dream..I saw myself..talking to myself? Am I making any sense?"
"Um...not really, but I kind of get what you're saying," Syaoran answered.
Sakura frowned slightly as she looked out the window. "Shaoran..."
"Hm?"
"Everything seems fine now doesn't it? Five years...we're finally together again. Destiny was on our side this time," Sakura mumbled.
"Yes...it was," Syaoran answered. "And I'm glad."
Sakura shifted her gaze back to him. "But..I feel that..there's something..that isn't right..."
"What is that?"
"Chun.."
Syaoran had completely forgotten..Chun...what was he going to do?
"What about me?"
The two looked up and at the door. At the doorway, stood Chun with her arms crossed and a small smile on her face, yet the look in her eyes reflected hurt...
"Sorry, I guess I wasn't suppose to be listening in."
"Oh, it's ok," Sakura answered uneasily.
Syaoran was about to open his mouth to say something, but he noticed something seemed different about Chun...she...had a weird aura around her that he had never felt before.
"Chun..is something wrong?" Syaoran started.
Chun stepped in, her shoes clicking on the tiled floor as she walked towards the window. "There will be a moon tonight." She said in a distant voice. "The moon was up the day I was born."
The clouds were dark blue, the sun was setting. And in the fading distance, you could see the faint outline of the moon coming into view.
She turned around, her shiny emerald eyes watery, and long raven hair blowing around her. "My tale is of sadness, but I want you to listen before it's to late." She whispered.
Syaoran and Sakura were confused, but both their eyes went wide as Chun's emerald eyes flashed into an eerie red. The hospital room faded, and they found themselves outside, in a feild surrounded by cherry blossom trees.
The petals were blowing high, and the clouds parted, revealing, the glowing moon.
"Let me begin."
