Chapter fourteen: Sakura's mother
Sakura's room night.
Dream world.
Sakura found herself standing in the living room, she was almost like a ghost transparent and everything she touched her hand went through. She then turned her attention to the couch were Aiden, a young Tori and her mother! Was, Tori was crying on his mother and then she noticed he was cradling a baby girl in his arms.
"But why!? What about Sakura!? Mom don't go!?"
Natasha smiled and kissed Tori on the head "there's nothing the doctors can do I'm sorry honey I'm counting on you to look after Sakura okay"
Tori sniffed and nodded.
Real world.
Sakura's eyes shot open, she got up and dressed as fast as she could and charged downstairs. She told Tori and Aiden about her dream and they confirmed that it had happened, Sakura was about to sit down and eat her breakfast when something occurred to her.
"Sakura are you alright?" asked a concerned Aiden
Sakura shook her head "I'm alright dad but.I'VE GOT TO SEE LI ALRIGHT!"
She charged out of the house before anyone could do anything about it.
"That was strange even for Sakura" Tori said
Li's apartment.
Li finished his training for the morning, but he didn't do as well as he could because he was constantly thinking about that cyborg that attacked him the night before.
*Such power.* Li thought *and who is his master that he said about anyway and how did he know me?*
Just then Sakura burst into Li's room sweating and breathing hard.
"Sakura!?"
She smiled "hey Li I kind of have a favour"
Li helped her over to his bed "anything name it"
"I um.want you to bring my mother back to life with the life card"
His expression hardened "are you sure?"
She nodded sadly "uh-huh"
Li sighed "OK"
Graveyard 10 minutes later Natasha Avalon's grave.
"Li what do I do?"
"Use the move card to bring here out of the grave"
She nodded "MOVE!"
The move card moved Natasha's body out of the grave and in front of them.
"Okay now use the move to get us all back to your house"
"MOVE!"
Sakura's room.
Kero was playing his video game when.Natasha appeared on Sakura's bed Li appeared next to Natasha and Sakura fell on top of Kero.
"SAKURA GET OFF ME!"
"Sorry Kero!" Sakura giggled and got off
Li spoke up "Okay lets get this show on the road before."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"This happens."
"I LOST THE HIGH SCORE! YOU MAY BE MY MISTRESS SAKURA BUT I'LL GET YOU BACK FOR THIS I SWEAR I."
Sakura picked him up and shoved him into his draw turned back to Li and smiled.
Li shook his head "LIFE!"
Sakura looked at her mother as the life card brought her to life, Natasha opened her eyes and stood up looking back and forth between Sakura and Li eventually stopping at Sakura.
"SAKURA!" Natasha hugged her, which surprised Sakura.
"Mom"
Tori and Aiden burst into the room.
"WE HEARD SCREAMING WHAT.mom?"
Natasha stood up "hello"
A ship in orbit.
"Hah the boy is using the cards for personal gain, not very becoming of a master"
"Now, now this isn't the time to get riled up over nothing there a few cards left you know don't worry just be patient it will all begin soon and by the way you're little display last night was.unnecessary"
The cyborg bowed his head "I'm sorry master"
"Don't worry all you did was add a bit of pressure to Li though but this could be better he'll train harder"
That night.
Natasha entered Sakura's room and sat on the end of her bed. Tori silently entered the room and stood behind her.
"You don't intend to stay do you mother?"
"No I should be dead although I would like to stay and see Sakura, you and Aiden everyday.I can't" she said still not looking at him
"Sakura will be crushed"
"I know but Tori I know what you did for her, you gave your powers to Yue so he could protect her" she got up and looked at him "and I just want you to know I'm very proud of you"
Next day.
"GOOD MORNING!" Sakura exclaimed skipping into the room
She looked at her mother who was looking down.
"What's wrong mom?"
*I should make the last time we spend together special* Natasha thought
She got up and smiled at Sakura "Want to go shopping later Sakura?"
Sakura nodded "YES!"
Later that night Li's apartment.
Li was training when he sensed something he walked out onto the balcony and looked around. All of a sudden a terrible pain started tearing his mind apart, he knelt to the floor clutching his head where he saw lots of images. Some of them were the cards he captured, others were about the cyborg but there were others he couldn't determine. The pain soon stopped, he stood up panting and then answered the phone, which was ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hello, its Li isn't it I'm Natasha Sakura's mother"
"I know who Sakura's mother is she missed you a lot"
"Yes but you see."
"You want me to use the death card"
"How did you know?"
"I had a feeling I'll be right over"
Sakura's house.
Ding-dong
Sakura answered the door to see Li "hey Li what are you doing here?"
"Your mother called me here Sakura. May I come in?"
Sakura smiled "sure"
They went into the living room where Tori, Aiden and Natasha were, Natasha stood up and welcomed Li.
"Thanks for coming Li are you ready?"
Sakura looked at him "ready for what?"
"You mean you didn't tell her?"
Natasha shook her head.
Aiden spoke up "Sakura.Natasha asked Li to use the death card on her"
Sakura was shocked "Mom!?"
Natasha hung her head.
Sakura jumped forward and hugged her "I don't want you to go mom, please don't mom *sniff*"
Natasha looked at her "Sakura you can see me any time you like if you ask Li to bring me back to life but you should know I can't stay please understand"
Sakura nodded and stepped away from Natasha "okay mom"
Li drew his sword "DEATH!" he touched the death card with the tip of his sword, the death card spirit came forth and killed Natasha.
Sakura started crying and called forth her staff "MOVE! *sniff*"
Natasha's body disappeared and Sakura cried even harder while everybody just looked at her not knowing what to say.
