Chapter 24:
Sakura's POV:
Falling on the ground with a thump,. I opened my eyes. I was wearing robes like Syaoran's only mine were pink, and the chest had a cherry blossom. My hair was up in a high ponytail, my bangs floating free. Standing quickly, I brushed my knees off. I was standing in the middle of a stone arena, which was huge. The gates at the end opened, and a woman came in. Stomping up to me, she held her head up haughtily.
"I am Midori Ryoko. I will not honor you so much as to fight you myself. Humph, you're not worth it. Instead, you'll fight my brother Tatsuya. Your task is this. Defeat my brother by killing him."
Rolling her eyes at my gasp, she continued.
"He wont' actually die. It's the dream world, baka. Anyways, if you don't defeat him, YOU'LL die. IN this task, you can only use two cards, The Sword, and The Fly. No, you don't get to choose. TATSUYA!!!!!!! Get down here!"
Slamming a gate open, a man ran in.
"Transform and let's get this over with. I you win, you're free, Sakura- san. Come ON!"
Snapping she stomped off.
"Stupid baka. Tasks are too easy…"
Turning my attention to Tatsuya, I watched silently as he transformed into a giant dragon.
"Uh oh."
Jumping out of the way, I nearly got decapitated by his swinging tail. Pulling my necklace out of my shirt, I throw it up in the air and did a wild hand gesture, not bothering with the chant. Catching it, I stabbed it into his tail, with no effect. It just bounced off his scales. Swinging his claws, I barely got out of the way, hiding behind him. Pulling out the Sword card, I threw it into the air.
"Sword! Merge with my wand! Sword!"
Wrapping around it in a spiral, The Sword merged into my wand. Getting caught in the side by Tatsuya's tail, I was thrown across the arena. Using my sword to pull myself up, I charged him, striking him in the leg. My attack struck his ankle, falling to the side harmlessly. Huffing indignantly, Tatsuya swung away and blew a ball of fire at me.
"Fly! Lend me your wins!"
Sprouting wings, I flew out of the way, singing my feet. Flying frantically, I barely dodged the flurry of claws. Flying sharply up, I dove at his head, swinging the sword. Bouncing off, I could just barely hang on. 'Dang, this guy's as hard as a rock. What's going on, he can't be invincible!' Flinging another fireball, I flew out of the way, this time burning my hair a few inches shorter. Gaining speed, I flew around Tatsuya, looking for a weak spot. Dodging his claw, I noticed a small, almost impercevible white scale among the sea of green. Preoccupied, I noticed to late the claw that slashed my arm, opening a wide gash. Crying out, I fell to the earth, falling on my bad arm. Biting back tears, I was thrown into a wall by his tail. Beating my wings furiously, I flew into the air, towards Tatsuya. Holding the sword with my good arm, I felt my heart beat furiously,
"Syao-ran. Syao-ran. Syao-ran."
Flying in a wide circle around Tatsuya, I dove, aiming the sword right for the singular white scale, at the base of the neck. Sinking the sword in to the hilt, Tatsuya gave a might roar as blood poured out through he scale. Appearing with a mighty pop! Midori Ryoko screeched.
"Tatsuya! ACK! Ototo, how did she defeat you?!"
Pulling out the sword, I cleaned it off and looked at Tatsuya worriedly. Waving her hand, Midori Ryoko detransformed her brother and healed him. Whirling on me, she howled,
"How could you defeat me? We're in MY realm! I control EVERYTHING! It's IMPOSSIBLE!"
Blazing, her red eyes snapped angrily.
"Fine. You passed the freakin' tasks. You're free to go."
Smiling, she laughed wickedly. Pointing to my arm, she added,
"But when you wake up, you'll feel EVERY pain of EVERY wound that you have gotten since Lei's attack."
Laughing she snapped her fingers.
"Ja ne, Princess."
'Hoe?'
**************************************************************************** **********
In a sea of unconsciousness, I writhed in pain. Screaming, I could feel the searing pain of every wound. Suddenly, a light appeared in the grey fog, and a figure stepped out of the light. Stepping forward, she touched my shoulder and the pain stopped. The woman had luxuriously long, wavy, grayish silver hair and soft grey eyes that smiled. Instinctively, I knew that this was my mother.
"Okasan?"
Blinking back tears, I reached out, only to touch air. Smiling, Mother spoke.
"My darling Sakura. You're all grown up. I'm so sorry you grew up without us. We've been watching you from above."
Chuckling, mother (MOTHER!) smiled brighter.
"I'm afraid your brother has a sister complex, even now. He wanted to come with me, but there was not enough power. Your father, too."
Crying softly, I clasped my hands together.
"Okasan, who am I? What is my name? What is YOUR name?"
Only slightly surprised, Mother laughed merrily.
"Come, child. No need for tears. You do not remember who you are? Ah, well, you were only three. Your name is Sakura. Sakura Kinomoto. Your father is Fujitaka, and your mother is Nadeshiko. Remember now?"
Suddenly, I did. I remembered my family, Touya, and… the escape. My mind played that in fast forward. My mother gave me to the man, and reached to help Touya, but the soldiers attacked. I saw how Yukito had ridden hard, all night, and left me at an orphanage, where I was 'hired' by the Li a year later. I felt myself age suddenly.
"Oh, Okasan!"
Shushing me quietly, she smiled sadly.
"I have only minute left. My darling Sakura-chan, only you can restore the Kinomoto's. If you are not at the old palace within a week, the world will begin to fall apart, bit by bit. The mark of your heritage will be this."
Dropping an object into my hand, I caught it, surprisingly. It was a tear shaped crystal, on a chain. It was the type of necklace that you wore on your forehead, a mark of royalty.
"Remember, this was made from your mother's tears. We will always love you, and will continue watching over you. Remember, the palace. You will know what to do. Ashiteru, watashii no ko domo."
Placing a transparent kiss on my cheek, she stepped away, into the light. Feeling serenely calm, I too stepped out of the light.
