Chapter Ten
"Here both of you will be safe. I have spells throughout the whole house and around the house and even on the rooms that you sleep on. Everything should be fine and whatever has been happening will not happen. Just stay inside the walls do not go outside for any reason at all please," said Eriol.
"Hey, don't worry Eriol. We'll stay inside," said Syaoran.
"We like having control over our own minds," said Sakura.
"Don't go outside for anything. Even if you hear noise or see things that can't be explained," said Eriol.
"Yeah, sure," said Syaoran.
"Eriol," said Tomoyo.
"Yes?" said Eriol turning to Tomoyo.
"I think they understand, let's go have some dinner," said Tomoyo.
"Good idea," said Eriol.
"If he doesn't calm down I'm going to deck him," said Syaoran.
"It's okay," said Sakura entering the dining room.
"So Sakura, tell me about these times when you start yelling at Syaoran for no apparent reason," said Eriol.
"Well what happens is all of the sudden I kind of get pushed back. Like in my head, me and my personality just get pushed away and someone comes in and starts talking through me. So I try to fight back and I'm fighting in my head to get control over my mind and then I usually lose and lose consciousness," said Sakura.
"I see, was it the same way for you Syaoran?" asked Eriol.
"Yeah," said Syaoran, "except I won but I was to weak once I got control over my mind."
The servants walked in and put the meals in front of them.
"This is not good," said Eriol, "I don't know who could be doing this. You've done all you have to do. The cards are changed and the book says nothing about an evil."
"Well maybe it's just someone on their own. Maybe they're doing it for the hell of it because they're evil. I don't know. All I know is that it is a horrible experience," said Sakura.
"Nothing could be worse than losing the ability to have control over your mind," said Syaoran.
"*Yawn* I'm tired," said Sakura, "I think I am going to go to sleep now."
"Goodnight Sakura," said Syaoran.
"Goodnight everyone," said Sakura.
"I'll show you your room," said Tomoyo.
"Thank you," said Sakura walking out of the dining room with Tomoyo.
"Stay away from Sakura," said Eriol.
"What?" said Syaoran.
"You heard me," said Eriol, "When you are within these walls, you can be as close as you like. But outside these walls, you stay away from her. As far as you can get."
"How is that possible? We have the contest and we're in it together. We see each other all the time," said Syaoran.
"Seeing is fine, but you stay away from her and vice versa. I will tell her tomorrow when she wakes up. But I'm afraid that she'll lose consciousness and she'll never wake up again," said Eriol, "I know you don't want that to happen."
"Of course not, but I love Sakura," said Syaoran.
"You are soon forgetting that you have someone controlling you too. You are at risk too. If I hadn't gotten to you, who knows? You may have been out for a long time too," said Eriol.
"Yeah, I did forget that. Fine I'll stay away from Sakura, for now. But just please try and figure this out soon," said Syaoran, "I'm done now, so I'm going upstairs to practice for tomorrow and say goodnight to Sakura."
"Alright. If you see Tomoyo tell her---," said Eriol.
"Tell me what?" asked Tomoyo walking into the room.
"Oh I just wanted him to tell you that I loved you," said Eriol.
"I love you too Eriol," said Tomoyo.
"Night," said Syaoran.
"Goodnight Syaoran," said Tomoyo as Syaoran went up the stairs.
"Eriol," said Tomoyo.
"Yes?" said Syaoran.
"If Sakura loses consciousness, what will happen?" asked Tomoyo.
"I don't know. She may never wake up," said Eriol.
Tomoyo gasped, "No it can't be true," she said.
"I may not be. I don't know. And that is what I don't like. Not knowing what's going to happen next," said Eriol standing up and looking out the window.
Tomoyo came up and stood beside him and held her. The both looked out the window while two people in greater Vancouver were talking. Well not exactly.
"You tell right now while you dragged me out here," said Kaleigh, "Or I'm leaving."
"I wanted to tell you something," said Sean.
"What is it?" asked Kaleigh.
"I know why you're here," said Sean.
"So why don't you tell me why I'm here," said Kaleigh.
"You're here to cause some pain and dissention between a certain two…people," said Sean.
"DING DING DING. We have a winner. How long did it take you figure that one out Einstein?" said Kaleigh.
"Not long. I know you'd be up to something like this. It has your trademark written all over it," said Sean.
"Is that all you have to say? Because if it is, I'm going now because I've got work to do," said Kaleigh walking away.
"No," said Sean.
"What is it?" asked Kaleigh impatiently.
"Please give me another chance. I know I messed up big time. Just please hear me out," said Sean.
"I don't know why I should, but I'll listen. You have five minutes," said Kaleigh.
"When I left you at the altar about, well I don't quite remember how long it was. But I'm really sorry. I realized that was the biggest mistake of my life. I still really love you and I've been living in agony for a long time with this big burden of regret on my back and if I could turn back time, I would," said Sean.
"Sean, that's really sweet. The only thing is. I know you have the ability to turn back time," said Kaleigh.
"It's a figure of speech Kaleigh," said Sean, "please forgive me."
"I'll consider it. I've been in pain too," said Kaleigh.
"I did something tonight and I don't know if you'll appreciate it. Mostly because you hate my guts but I helped you," said Sean.
"Helped…me? How?" asked Kaleigh.
"I heard that Syaoran yelled at Sakura, told her to just get out. Even went as far as saying he hated her," said Sean.
"Yeah so?" said Kaleigh, "Wait, wait, wait. Don't tell me that was you?"
"Fine, I won't tell you," said Sean.
"I can't believe it," said Kaleigh.
"Are you mad?" asked Sean.
"No, not at all. That was a great thing you did. Thank you Sean," said Kaleigh.
"You're thanking me?" said Sean.
"Yeah I suppose I am," said Kaleigh.
"It's a nice change," said Sean.
"You know Sean, I don't hate you," said Kaleigh.
"Could have fooled me," said Sean.
"It's that I can't forgive you for what you did to me," said Kaleigh.
"I was young. I made stupid mistakes. Marriage. Together Forever. All that scared me a lot. I wasn't ready for a family, not yet. To settle down," said Sean.
"What makes you think you can now? Right now your stuck in a teenagers body, so apparently you couldn't have learned too much," said Kaleigh.
"Oh trust me. I've been stuck like this for 5 years now," said Sean, "Five long years. I've had a lot of time to think. Besides seem you haven't changed from your meddling ways. I don't see you in your actual body."
"So what if I was meddling?" said Kaleigh.
"It proves that you haven't changed a lot," said Sean, "You are still the same old Kaleigh I left behind."
"Did you ever wonder why?" said Kaleigh, "Oh who cares. I've got to go now."
"Please don't walk away from me again," said Sean.
"You walked away first," said Kaleigh walking away.
"Damn," said Sean grabbing his head. He pulled out his lighter and his pack of cigarettes, "Why can't life just go right for me for once? I can't do anything right. Even get back my ex girlfriend."
Sean sat down on the sidewalk. "Can't catch a break."
He took one drag after another tasting the bitter horrid taste of the cigarette. He knew it was stupid and pointless but still, for some reason, it calmed him and he almost enjoyed it.
=Why should I ever forgive him? He left me, her hurt me, and he hasn't changed. At least, well maybe he has. Maybe he's not the same guy he once was. Maybe he could love me the way I want to be loved. But I made a promise to myself that day= thought Kaleigh.
"Kaleigh, it's okay. Everything will be alright," said Ashley her maid of honour.
"No, it's not. He's not coming and he'll never come. He told me he loved me Ashley," sobbed Kaleigh.
"Well, he lied. He's a liar and I hope he rots in hell for what he's done to you today," said Ashley.
"Thanks," said Kaleigh.
"No problem now let's go get you cleaned up and we'll go out and have dinner or something," said Ashley.
"Alright, but I swear that I will never forgive him," said Kaleigh, "I wish and I don't even know why I feel like this... I wish I could make someone's life a hell. I know I have the power to do it. I'd like to break apart two people who are so in love."
=How can I forgive him? I promised I wouldn't= thought Kaleigh. =But still part of me still loves him. Then again, I still have my boyfriend back home. I loved him a lot too. But now that I think of it, I never really loved him all that much. Besides, I think he's cheating on me. Maybe I'm just paranoid. Then again, I don't know, he spends so much time with Jessica and he even breaks dates to 'study' with her. I don't think anyone studies that much. Not at the hours and days they do. Oh who cares? It's over=
Kaleigh continued to walk down the streets. She reached into her pockets and grabbed her box of cigarettes. She lit it up and continued to walk.
=Man, I'm messed up= thought Kaleigh.
Someone grabbed Kaleigh from behind.
"What's a pretty girl like you doing in a place like this?" asked the guy.
"Let me go," yelled Kaleigh.
"No I don't think so," said the guy.
"Someone HELP!" yelled Kaleigh.
No one was around. Kaleigh was alone in a bad part of Vancouver.
"No one here to save you," said the guy.
Kaleigh elbowed the guy in the stomach hard and started to run.
The guy groaned and started to run after her. Kaleigh screamed totally forgetting everything except to run. She ran and ran with the guy close behind her and starting to get closer and closer at the time. Finally he grabbed her.
"Okay, now your going to die," he said as he kept her from moving.
"Please, please, don't kill me," cried Kaleigh.
"Maybe I won't. You're a pretty little thing you know. You may be of some use to me," he said stroking her cheek.
"Just please. Let me go," said Kaleigh with tears falling down the side of her face.
"You got a nice body. Nice rack," he said putting his hand up her shirt.
She slapped his hand away.
"Angry lil thing aren't ya? Well maybe I oughta just take you back to my place," he said.
"Just leave me alone!" said Kaleigh trying to get away.
"Why, you're mine," he said putting his hand up her shirt again.
"HELP PLEASE ANYONE!" cried Kaleigh.
"Nice pants. You'd look better without them," he said trying to undo them.
At that moment Sean was walking around the corner of the street smoking his cigarette. He was depressed and looking pretty down. All of the sudden he heard 'HELP PLEASE ANYONE'. He looked up. He saw a guy trying to undo Kaleigh's pants. He dropped his cigarette.
"YOU LEAVE HER ALONE!" yelled Sean who was at the end of the street.
"OR WHAT?" the guy yelled.
Sean ran faster than he had ever run before. He ran up to the guy and punched him right in the face and he let go of Kaleigh and held his face.
"Or you're going to pay," said the guy.
"No you are," said Sean. He muttered some words under his breath and the guy turned into a beetle. Sean went over and stepped on it.
"Are you ok?" asked Sean rushing over to her.
Kaleigh shook her head. She was trembling. She fell against the wall. She was crying.
"He, he, he touched me and he tried to but he didn't and then you came and then he," said Kaleigh not really making much sense.
"It's okay," said Sean holding her.
"If you hadn't came he would have…" said Kaleigh crying into Sean's shoulder.
"It's alright, you're fine. You're going to be okay," said Sean.
"Sean," cried Kaleigh, "thank you."
"Your welcome," said Sean.
"If you hadn't come when you did. I don't know," sobbed Kaleigh.
"It's okay," said Sean, "No come on, stand up and we'll walk home. No, we'll call a cab. I don't want to take any chances."
"Thanks," said Kaleigh.
"Have I gained your trust? Do you trust me? Do you believe me? I swear Kaleigh. I still love you," said Sean.
"I believe you but still. I don't know. I'm so grateful but I don't know if I'm ready to completely forgive you," said Kaleigh.
"Yeah, I can understand that. I guess it's all I can ask," said Sean getting out his cell phone and dialling a cab.
"Yeah, uh-huh. About five minutes? Okay," said Sean, "They'll be here soon."
"Couldn't you just zap us there or something?" asked Kaleigh.
"I don't want to take the chance someone will see us pop out of nowhere," said Sean.
"Good thinking. I should have considered that," said Kaleigh.
"It's okay. Doesn't matter," said Sean.
"Sean," said Kaleigh.
"Yeah?" said Sean.
"Thanks," said Kaleigh.
"Your welcome," said Sean, "Here's the cab. You go first."
Kaleigh climbed into the cab. She was much more calm she had been before.
"You'll be fine," said Sean, "You've had bad stuff happen before. I'll help you and be here for you."
"Thanks," said Kaleigh, "A lot of people wouldn't do that for me."
"It's fine. Really I don't mind helping you. In fact I love helping you," said Sean.
"Everyone hates me," said Kaleigh.
"Not everyone hates you. I don't hate you," said Sean.
"That's just one. People they think very lowly of me. Though I guess I can't blame them. Most know I have a boyfriend back home and me going out and hanging with you and your friends. They just didn't like it," said Kaleigh.
"You have a boyfriend back home?" said Sean.
"Yeah, I was going to call him tonight and tell him it's over," said Kaleigh.
"I see. Why?" asked Sean.
"I don't love him," said Kaleigh.
"I see. That would be a good reason," said Sean.
"Yeah," said Kaleigh, "I don't think I ever really loved him."
"Hmm…" said Sean.
"Yeah, so you have a girlfriend?" asked Kaleigh.
"No," said Sean.
"I'm surprised," said Kaleigh.
"Why? I didn't want a girlfriend. Didn't want to have to live with the regret. Besides I had issues that I needed cleared up," said Sean.
"Did you ever clear them up?" asked Kaleigh.
"Yeah I think so," said Sean.
"That's $13.20," said the taxi driver.
"Here you go," said Sean giving him the money.
"Thanks," said Kaleigh to Sean.
"Your welcome," said Kaleigh.
"Do you want me to come up with you to your room? We can talk if you want. Or I can just be there for you," said Sean.
"No I'll be fine, but thanks for offering and thanks for saving me tonight," said Kaleigh giving him a hug. She pecked him on the cheek and went into the hotel.
"Your welcome," he said.
=She's one hell of a girl. She's strong. Most girls would never be able to get over that= thought Sean.
Kaleigh stepped into the elevator. Her eyes were almost tearing. But she took a breath and took it all it.
=I'll break down when I'm in my room= thought Kaleigh.
Finally he elevator doors opened and she got off. She walked down the hall to her room. She opened the door. Her roommates were sitting on the couch watching TV.
"Hey Kaleigh," said Mandy.
"Hey Mandy, I'm tired, so I'm going to go to bed. Goodnight," said Kaleigh.
"Night," said Mandy.
Kaleigh walked into her room and the first thing she did was open up the window. She walked out onto the veranda. She rubbed her arms for worth and looked over the city. All the lights and the water in the far distance.
=Cursed city= thought Kaleigh, =I never have been so scared in my whole entire life=
She sighed. In the cold night air she could see her breath. Thought swarmed around her head. She questioned everything she had ever done. She wondered why she had done it and she wondered what she was doing now. Why was she doing what she was doing? Why hurt innocent people? She couldn't answer the question. So she started to sing.
"Emotion"
It's over and done
but the heartache lives on inside
And who's the one you're clinging to
instead of me tonight?
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion taking me over
Caught up in sorrow
lost in the song
but if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight
nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
I'm there at your side,
I'm part of all the things you are
But you've got a part of someone else
You've got to find your shining star
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion taking me over
Caught up in sorrow
lost in the song
but if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight
nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
And where are you now, now that I need you?
Tears on my pillow wherever you go
I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean
You never see me fall apart
In the words of a broken heart
it's just emotion taking me over
Caught up in sorrow
lost in the song
but if you don't come back
Come home to me, darling
don't you know there's nobody left in this world to hold me tight
nobody left in this world to kiss goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
Kaleigh went back inside leaving the window open. She got dressed for bed and went to sleep.
=Why am I the way I am?= she thought.
Syaoran lay in his bed staring at the ceiling. He had, had the perfect life. He was going to date Sakura all throughout high school and then marry her someday. But all of this? It was ruining everything. He was on the verge of giving up. This was all too much for him. He loved Sakura but he knew that if this continued he wouldn't be able to see her. He would rather leave her than hurt her and he knew that things would just get worse.
"Though," he said to himself, "either way I hurt her. If I leave her again, I hurt her. If I stay, she'll yell and lose consciousness and I'll hurt her."
Syaoran paced his room. He walked back and forth looking in his head for an answer, but it never came. It was late and everyone was asleep. He walked out of his room and down the hall. He opened the door to Sakura's room softly and looked inside. Sakura was sleeping. She looked like an angel sleeping there. So innocent and so pure.
=Sakura. I love you so much, but I don't wanna hurt you…again= thought Syaoran.
Sakura stirred.
"Syaoran," she murmured in her sleep.
Syaoran blushed deep red and quickly closed the door behind him.
"Your up late Syaoran," said a voice.
Syaoran turned around, it was Tomoyo.
"Oh hi Tomoyo," said Syaoran.
"I see you've been checking in on Sakura and by the colour of your face you heard Sakura say something," said Tomoyo.
"Uh, yeah," said Syaoran still red with embarrassment.
"You're so kawaii (cute) when you blush. You and Sakura-chan. You know, while you were gone, she would blush when she was thinking of your," said Tomoyo.
"Really?" asked Syaoran.
Tomoyo nodded.
"Come," she said, "we'll go have some tea and talk."
The two walked down the hall. All was silent and everyone, including the servants was asleep. Tomoyo walked into the kitchen and put on the kettle.
"So tell me Syaoran, do you love Sakura more than anything else in the world?" asked Tomoyo.
"Hai (yes)," said Syaoran, "with all my heart."
"Yeah, with all your heart, the heart that no one knew was there," said Tomoyo.
"Yes," said Syaoran.
"Do you remember the way you once were?" asked Tomoyo.
"Yes," said Syaoran looking down at the ground.
"Meiling, leave me alone," said Syaoran.
"But honey," said Meiling.
"GO AWAY," yelled Syaoran.
Meiling ran off crying. Syaoran was so cruel to her.
"Li-kun, why are you so mean to Meiling. Her intentions are good," said Sakura coming up beside him.
"None of your business Kinomoto. Just leave me alone. You are pathetic," said Syaoran.
"Syaoran, why don't you try to be nicer?" asked Sakura putting her right hand on his shoulder.
"DON'T CALL ME BY MY FIRST NAME!!!!" yelled Syaoran grabbing her right wrist and holding it tightly.
"Gomen Li," said Sakura pulling her arm away, "But you know, it doesn't matter what anyone calls you. YOU ARE STILL A JERK!" *SLAP*
Sakura slapped Syaoran and ran off.
"That was the only time I've ever seen Sakura slap anyone," said Syaoran.
"Hai, Sakura does not slap just anyone. You were very mean," said Tomoyo.
"I know, but still, she found a way to love me. Cruel, mean, heartless Syaoran Li," said Syaoran.
"Love will find a way over all obstacles," said Tomoyo pouring the tea, "Here you go."
"Arigato (thanks)," said Syaoran.
"Do itashimaste (your welcome)," said Tomoyo.
"Life isn't fair," said Syaoran.
"It's not supposed to be fair, it's supposed be hard. That's why it's so rewarding once all the pain is over. You can say, you made it through all the hardships," said Tomoyo.
"Yeah, I suppose you're right, as usual," said Syaoran.
"Anyways, it's late. Go to sleep Syaoran, you have a busy day ahead of you," said Tomoyo.
"Goodnight Tomoyo," said Syaoran.
"Goodnight," said Tomoyo.
Syaoran walked silently out of the kitchen.
Tomoyo sighed. =He loves her so much. And for once I don't know if they'll be together= she thought.
"No one knows," said Eriol entering the kitchen.
"Not even you?" said Tomoyo.
"Not even I can tell what will happen in the future," said Eriol.
"I don't like this," said Tomoyo.
"Neither do I," said Eriol, "but remember, I will always love you."
"And I will always love you too," said Tomoyo.
Then Eriol and Tomoyo shared a passionate kiss in the moonlight.
The next morning everyone was up bright and early. Even Sakura.
"I'm going to be on time today," said Sakura.
"Good luck Kajuii," said a voice.
"Touya!!!" yelled Sakura looking around for him.
"He's not here," said Syaoran.
"Then what did I hear?" said Sakura.
"A recording of his voice," said Syaoran.
"Hoe?" said Sakura.
"Answering machine," said Syaoran.
"Oh," said Sakura.
"You guys have 10 minutes till the driver will be here to pick you guys up, so Sakura you had better eat quickly," said Tomoyo.
Sakura grabbed a muffin on the table and started eating it, "Mmm… Tomoyo, these are very good."
"Thank you, I baked them myself," said Tomoyo.
"You always were a good cook," said Sakura.
*HONK HONK*
"Oh, the driver, he's already here," said Tomoyo, "I'll come by later to see you two and please, be careful."
"We will Tomoyo," said Sakura.
"Bye!" said Syaoran running out of the door.
"Bye," said Sakura walking out.
"Bye," said Tomoyo.
"She'll be fine," said Eriol, "they both will be."
"You don't know that. And that worries me," said Tomoyo.
