Chapter 4: Time
Last time on Heart.......
"No one will remember any of what has happened except you. Remember the promise."
Today was the first day of high school. Sakura sat in her homeroom A-1. It would be a long school year is what everyone suspected. Unfortunately the summer went by fast and not everyone was excited about school.
In the lightly dimmed hallway Sakura walked down it to get to the front doors. She had stayed late to talk with the teacher and it seemed it got a little later than expected. The sun started to set as she walked down the quiet hallway, hearing the click, clack of her shoes and her breath. Just as she was walking a door slid open and Sakura froze.
"Syaoran......" Sakura whispered. He saw Sakura then walked away. "Why are you avoiding me?" asked Sakura.
"I'm not avoiding you Kinomoto. Just stay away from me." he said coldly. Her hands grew tight around her book bag and she grabbed Syaoran's wrist. "Let go!" he shouted.
"Tell me! You've been ignoring me all summer! Is it really gone?" asked Sakura. Her grip loosened and she let go.
"It's none of your business Kinomoto so bud out! Your don't know me!" he shouted again. Sakura had never heard Syaoran this angry.
" Your right. I don't know you. I used to....once." whispered Sakura. She bowed and ran off. Syaoran didn't follow, he just stood there his expression could not be made out clearly.
Sakura felt cold inside by what Syaoran had said. It was true, she never really KNEW him like Meilin did or even his family. Sakura swore she had ran to the other side of the school but, the surroundings were different.
"Is it......Yuuki?" she whispered to herself. A door to the far right of Sakura opened slowly and Sakura got her wand ready. At that moment the door slid wide open and a gust of wind bursted out from inside. Two glowing eyes in the darkness glared at Sakura.
"Card Mistress.........your life ends.....here." it growled. Sakura backed away and instantly long arms grabbed her throat.
"W-what...are you?" gasped Sakura. It just growled and came a bit closer to Sakura.
"Your feelings are delicious mistress. The sorrow and even a bit of hate lies within your worthless soul of yours." it growled some more.
"Oh no! I.....I can't move. Help me!!" thought Sakura.
Yuhi turned to look in the direction of the high school. "Sakura!" he gasped. He loosened his tie and jumped off.
Syaoran ran down the hall.
" This presence! It's dark........" thought Syaoran.
" 2000 years I've been waiting until Yuuki released me from my grave." it growled. Sakura felt sharp claws sink into her arm but she didn't cry or scream. "I only live on feelings and your feelings are delicious. No one can help you now."
"I wish I was somewhere else." thought Sakura.
A bright light emitted from the Starcrystal. The beast backed away.
"Nooo! I hate the light! Where are you getting this energy?" it asked.
"SWORD!" called out Sakura. From the Sakura Cards came the sword cared. Sakura then jumped in the air and came down on the monster. The monster was split in two and it disintegrated. Just when Sakura's feet touched the ground Syaoran and Yuhi showed up.
"Sakura!" gasped Syaoran. Sakura looked down.
"It's time."
A huge black hole showed up behind Sakura. It pulled her in.
"Sakura!!" shouted Yuhi and Syaoran. Yuhi grabbed Sakura's hand while Syaoran grabbed Yuhi. Although it wasn't enough and they disappeared into the black void. After they vanished the hole vanished as well.
The sun rose up over the horizon and the sun's rays shone upon Sakura's face. She slowly opened her emerald green eyes and she sat up. All around was different. The room was unfamiliar and all the stuff. Then she heard a muffled sound from under her and she gasped at who she saw.
"I'm so sorry!" apologized Sakura. Yuhi fixed his hair and sat up next to her.
"It's ok. What the heck? Where are we?" asked Yuhi. Sakura shuck her head. Yuhi and Sakura stood up.
"Wait! Syaoran's missing!" gasped Sakura. Yuhi slapped his forehead.
"Great. Let's look for him then." said Yuhi. They left the room and searched the house. Sakura checked one room and gasped. "What is it?"
"This.........it looks familiar." said Sakura. She ran up to a picture on the dresser. The picture was of Tomoyo, her ad Syaoran back in the fifth grade. "I think.......we've been sent into the future."
"What!!!!!????" gasped Yuhi. He fell back.
"Is he ok?" asked someone.
"I don't know. Poke it." said another.
"Why should I?"
"Because your the eldest."
"Only by one minute."
"So."
"Ok."
A boy of age 9 or 10 poked someone in front of him. This boy had brown hair and light green colore3d eyes. His twin sister had dark brown and beautiful emerald green eyes.
"Ouch! Stop it!" said Syaoran. He sat up and the two kids jumped in surprise.
"So it was ok." said the boy.
"And alive." said the girl.
"Who are you and...where am I?" asked Syaoran.
"I'm Yuki the eldest and this is my twin sister Yumi. Your in Tomeda, Japan's town park." explained Yuki.
"What?" gasped Syaoran.
"Yuki! Yumi!" shouted a kind and gentle voice. Syaoran looked and couldn't believe his eyes. She had long light brown hair down below her elbows even though it was tied up a bit, kind emerald green eyes and she wore a long light pink dress with an apron.
"Mommy!" they said. They ran up to their mother.
"What have you been doing?" asked their mother. They pointed to Syaoran who had already gotten up fro the ground. She walked up to Syaoran and smiled. She was a taller than Syaoran because he was only 15 but it seemed she wasn't a year over 30.
"I'm sorry if my children have bothered you in anyway." she apologized.
"Not at all." he said.
"You remind me of someone I once knew. You both look so alike." she sighed. Syaoran sweat dropped.
"Yah? What happened to him?" asked Syaoran.
"About 3 years after he left to Hong Kong.......he disappeared from the house. No one, not even his cousin, knew where he had gone to." she explained.
"And...what was his name?" asked Syaoran looking down to the side.
"Syaoran Li." she replied.
To Be Continued.....................
Next time on Heart......
"How did we come so far into the future?"
"You seem sad."
"I am. But that's what happens. I've moved on ever since then. Don't feel sorry....it's not your fault after all."
" How can we get out of this and back to the present?"
"We must find Syaoran!"
"Syaoran!"
