Momiji: The Isle of the Last Leaf
Chapter 11
The same night, we camped right then and there, under the stars. I faced the
direction where I last saw the white light. It was gone now, not even a trace.
"I wonder where Syaoran is...?" I asked to no one in particular.
"he'll be fine." someone answered. It was Eriol. "He's a strong person."
I looked at him under the light of the waning moon and the stars. He looked
pale, as if spent. He looked like someone who was just recovering from a terrible
sickness.
"are you ok?" I asked.
He faced me and smiled. "I'm fine Sakura. You should go to sleep and rest your
wounds." he said, then left.
The women were very kind. They helped all of us who came from the battle. Some
were crying for their lost husbands and we made a memoriam for them. I was feeling
better too, though the slash on my arm still hurt a bit.
Slowly, I laid myself down on my cot. I was still looking at the same spot when
I lied down. And Syaoran was the person in my mind before I slept.
The next morning, our encampment was fixed and we started to travel away.
"Eriol, where's Syaoran?" I asked.
"I don't know." he answered.
I just stood there, while people passed my by. "not here?" I murmured. I ran
back to Eriol's side and stopped him from walking. "what do you mean not here?"
"not here. He's not here. He didn't arrive last night." he replied.
I heard someone call him and he said something to me, but I couldn't understand
it. All was going blur. It was as if my world had crumbled. At that moment, I
felt like I was alone in that desert - like a lost child. The wind was lashing at
my back. I was blinded by the sun's glaring rays and felt its boiling heat.
I remembered my dream...
Syaoran.... he was all torn and bloddy. Amidst the pure white snow his blood made
its way to my feet like a river. And in his hand he held his sword which was broken
into pieces.
I ran toward him. I tried to reach out for him. But I couldn't.
I couldn't....
I-I......
"Sakura?"
I snapped out of my thoughts and saw Touya standing before me.
"don't just stand there, you're being left behind." he said, pointing behind me.
I looked and saw that the others were a couple of paces ahead of me. But it
didn't matter.... even though we've only been together for so short, I felt like
I've loved him all my life... he showed me... that he cared..... nothing mattered
"Sakura?"
"I-I....I c-could-dn't-t...r-reach him...."
Touya placed both of his hands on the sides of my face and gently made me look
up, to meet his caring gaze... "Sakura, be strong. He must be alive right? You
must trust him..... he won't like it if you cried..." he said, and gently, he
wiped away the tears that ran down on my cheeks.
I held his hand in mine and smiled. "Thank you Touya, my brother..."
By the end of the sixth day after the war at the oasis, we reached Maremaris.
Maremaris is a port town at the nothernmost edge of the Desert Coast. We had
finally reached the ocean.
Touya said that they had a contact there and that we'd be safe. We found that
to be true. When we entered, we were greeted joyfully and some who lived here
that were with us returned to their homes. There were no guards about the place
and the people here said that they only visit for a certain time, escorting the
merchants going to Agerstown.
Before we scattered, Touya told us that we'd be leaving very early in the morning
to have a good start.
The house I stayed was owned by two old people and they were very kind to me.
Though old like its owners, the house had a good view of the sea. I stayed by
the backyard just looking at the vast blue body of water, sparkling, just like
the star-filled sky.
"Sakura." the old woman called.
"yes?"
"there's are some men outside who wishes to see you." she said.
I smiled at her. "thank you, grandma." I said, and walked outside.
There, just outside the fence, stood Touya with Eriol. Just whom I was expecting
to see.
"what is it?" I asked them.
The two looked at each other then faced me again. Eriol spoke up first.
"Sakura, we're leaving. Now."
"now?" I asked, puzzled.
Touya put a hand on my shoulder. "yes. Just you and Eriol."
"why?"
"We're going to the Momiji Archipelago. We need to get there, fast." Eriol
explained.
Touya's face hardened. "A note arrived by falcon just a while ago. We can't tell
you what's in it 'cause it's quite confidential." he paused, then lowered his
voice to a whisper, "someone's after you."
I was speechless in surprise. "me?"
"I think it's that necklace of yours." Eriol said, pointing to the necklace that
Syaoran gave me.
"you're not safe here. You better leave now." Touya said.
"and I, as your bodyguard, will go with you." Eriol said.
I gripped my pendant tightly and sighed. "okay. But why Momiji? why not Nadezha?"
Eriol smiled. "A huge library is there, the best in the face of Terra! and we
might find some valuable information about that pendant of yours." he said.
I just sighed as I walked away to say good-bye to the old man and woman.
We reached the beach shortly, just me, Touya and Eriol.
"there's the boat." Touya pointed to a medium-sized boat.
Eriol chuckled. "we won't be needing that."
"WHAT?" Touya exclaimed, "how the hack are you going to go there?"
I was shocked as well, but Eriol just smiled at us. He then brought out Iridyss
and held it forth. "Spinel Sun, come forth." he said, and a white mist covered
Iridyss and landed on the gound before us. The mist swirled and swelled and took
shape of a large black panther with butterfly wings.
"how cute!!" I said.
*wind blows*
"...uh...Spinel, she is Sakura and he is Touya. Sakura, Touya, this is Spinel;
my guardian." Eriol said and he walked closer to Spinel and gently patted its
head.
"hello." I greeted.
Touya just waved a hand.
"hello." Spinel greeted.
The two of us froze.
"I-it talked!!" Touya said, pointing his finger at Spinel.
"of course I talk!" Spinel replied.
Touya put his hands akimbo. "but you're a cat!! normal cats don't talk!!"
The black panther raised an eyebrow. "do I look normal to you?"
*wind blows*
Eriol stepped in between them an talked to Spinel in hushed voices. I heard a
little bit they were speaking in a foreign language. After a moment's talk,
Spinel disappeared back into the Iridyss.
"what's up?" Touya asked.
Eriol smiled proudly. "Sakura, Touya, meet a friend of mine, Valdeiumentum."
At that moment, not far from us, the waters swirled. In the pale light, we saw
a hump rise from the water. As it went closer, it became clearer. It was an ocean
creature...
... A giant porpoise with a transparent backshell.
