Chapter Six: Moment of Reflection
2nd CCS fic by Fizzalicious Cherri
She stared at the white washed walls and the dim litted light that hung so low. She felt her heart pounding in her chest as she stared uneasily at the closed door in front of her.
Her hand on her stomach, she stared down at it idly and winced. What if...what if... She felt so frustrated and she knew that nothing would be right if..
"Miss?"
Her eyes shot up and found their way to the nurse's warm brown eyes. "...What is..it?" She said shakily.
"It's positive miss," The nurse didn't seem to be able to read the girl's expression, therefore not knowing if she should congratulate the girl or not.
The nurse examined the girl for a moment, and noticed she was either in a state of shock, or confusion. "If you need any help..."
"No...no it's ok," The girl managed a very small smile and stood up from the plastic red chair. "I'll be leaving now." She said quietly as she picked up her pink bag.
"And remember, come back here in a month for a check up to see if all is well," The nurse reminded but the girl was out through the doors already, leaving the nurse in a confused state.
She rubbed her eyes as her emerald eyes were revealed to the setting sun. She looked at her surroundings, and found herself sitting on a bench, obviously in a park of some sort.
"How'd I get here?" She questioned out loud as she glanced at the small digital watch on her hand. "Oh no, it's 7:30! I hope Egami-san will understand...what's getting to me lately?" I just dozed off sitting right on this little bench..but that dream...so...real.
Sae pushed herself up into a standing position, one hand tracing the scar on her cheek. She sighed softly, a image flashing through her eyes.
A girl in a long coat ran and ran, clutching onto a bag, while the rain pounded down on her frail and lonely figure. Tears streamed down her soft cheeks, trickling down her chin like trails of star dust.
"...I...I know that girl," She mumbled while walking slowly to the direction of the hotel. "That girl is...is..." She closed her eyes, trying desperately to remember...but her mind wasn't helping her, just making her more confused and lost. "Maybe I'm hullucinating." She chuckled softly, just as a breeze blew up.
Come back to me...
She looked over her shoulder, then to her left and right. Oh my goodness, I am hullucinating... Her feet started carrying her at a quicker pace, her hands tucked safely into her pocket, giving her a little bit of comfort.
"We'll meet here. April 1, promise?"
The confused girl stopped in her tracks once again, auburn hair blowing into her frail and delicate face. She looked in front of her to see a row of cherry blossom trees, swaying with the wind.
"Meet where...?" She walked up to the biggest tree of them all, and placed one soft hand on the withered trunk. Why can't I remember anything...but slowly, I feel like things are coming back now. Now that I'm here, in Tomoeda. But why Tomoeda ...
"Home. China. Hong Kong. The clan wants me there so I can train to become the future leader."
She stared at the pink flushed petals raining down on her, images flashing between every drop of a petal. Images...pictures...memories...moments...of her past. Yet they all only lasted for a second or even less. Though somehow...she knew one thing all of a sudden.
"...There's someone...out there..." She looked towards the setting sun, and smiled slightly. "And...I think I'm suppose to be with them..."
"Find me, please?"
"I'm trying, but why don't you come back to me?"
A sad figure stared back at him. "I'm trying too!! I'm trying!!" The figure cried back.
"I can't find you..." He uttered hoarsly, brown hair falling into his eyes.
"You must, you have to find me," The figure called back, their voice fading off slowly.
He felt himself step forward. "Wait...tell me where you are!"
"...Lost..."
Syaoran awoke, his eyes met the ceiling and quickly focused to the dark room of his hotel room. "Sakura..?" He looked around, almost expecting her to be smiling back at him, and greeting him. But reality hit him, and he realized, she was still gone. Lost.
Stupid dreams... He grunted while sitting up in bed.
The room was quiet, the curtains blowing gently with the light breeze coming from the slightly open window. His bare feet touched the carpet as he walked towards it, gazing lazily outwards towards the star filled sky. They were shining brightly tonight, and Syaoran couldn't help but feel that it was because of Sakura. His angel of the stars.
I miss you... He felt his cheeks go red, and he shook his head, chuckling to himself. Pointless..she's not even here, with me.
He sat there staring, until he felt his eyes grow heavier and heavier until he was unable to stay awake...and slowly he drifted into a sleep, with his last images as the night sky.
Sae sat on the couch by the wall of her hotel room, shuffling a deck of cards in her hands. She flipped them all over so that their backs were facing her.
Time for some memory skills. She smiled.
Her hands darted around, trying to match the cards as quickly as possible. "There!" She clicked a stop watch beside her and glanced at its time. "4 mintues and 30 seconds." She announced, and scratched her head. "That's better than last time...slightly."
When she was about to pick up the cards again, she could've swore she saw a flash of pink...pink cards? She shook her head and her normal cards stared back at her from the coffee table in which they were layed.
"...Eh..?" She blinked twice and shrugged inwardly. Maybe my eyes are going bad...that wouldn't be so good...
"Today, a fourteen year old girl of Tokyo gave birth to a child. The dad is unknown, and the parents of fourteen year old Kimi are devestated at what is happening." Sae looked over towards the TV that she had turned on. She didn't like complete silence when she was sitting alone in a room.
"Oh my..." She murmered thoughtfully. So young too...
She returned her focus back onto her cards, but suddenly she lost interest in them as she pulled herself up. It was almost 10 PM, but for some strange reason she had an urge to feel the night time breeze of Tomoeda.
Her feet carried her slowly towards the door, while grabbing a small jacket on the way.
Wow...it's colder than I thought it would be...She pulled her jacket tighter against her body as she ventured the streets by the light of the street lamps.
Outside it was quiet. Much more quieter than in the afternoon, when cars were busily going to their destinations, and with people running about.
Now she was the only one, walking lightly on the street, unoticed to all.
"Ha ha Tayshi, we better get out of here fast."
Sae was startled at the sudden voice of another person, she had thought she was the only one out on a walk. Her eyes scanned the area and saw a few shadows lurking behind some bushes.
Suddenly, the shadows were now people, in front of her, with wide eyes staring back at her. "Holy shit, there's a girl!" One of them whispered too loudly.
Sae shrunk back, she wanted to run, but her feet were glued to the spot. They seemed frightened at her, but she knew it was just a moment's shock.
One of them finally snapped out of it and smirked, "It's just a girl for god's sake Liu."
"Yeah yeah, well we better hurry, De..." Yet he was cut off.
"Hurry what?" Came another voice off in the distance.
Sae's eyes snapped towards the direction and saw another shadowy figure appear, slowly getting clearer and clearer...as it approached..closer and closer...
"KINOMOTO?!" The figure cried.
AN: Cliffhanger!!! Kekekekeke, evilness :P Who is this person?? Oh ho ho :P!
