Chapter Seven: A Thousand Questions
2nd CCS fic by Fizzalicious Cherri
She blinked her round eyes, a thousand questions forming in her utterly confused mind. Her eyes stared straight into dark orange ones that were as wide as hers.
They were both in complete shock. Though Sae had no idea why she was shocked, but it seemed like the young man standing in front of her did know why.
"...Nani?" Was the only thing she could utter as she was finally able to feel her feet again.
The young man came closer, his spiked green dyed hair and fiery orange eyes coming closer into view. Sae couldn't help but notice he rather looked like a pumpkin, except he wasn't as plump and round as one.
"Kinomoto! What.....? You disappeared like...centuries ago!" He declared in astonishment as he came right up to her.
She could feel his hot breath wisping around her, giving her slight chills as she stepped back slowly. "I...I..." She stuttered, lost for words.
"Have you lost your voice?" He smirked slightly and his hand reached out to her.
She instinctively shrunk back, but his hand brushed against her scar. "Now look what happened to your pretty little face. What did you do to yourself?" He raised an eyebrow.
Sae shivered, "Who...wh..o are you?" She managed to ask in a soft and shakey voice.
The boy burst into laughter as he shook his head sadly at her. "Now now Sakura, my dear. Just cause we had so much fun years ago and that we haven't exactly kept in touch, doesn't mean you have to act like a stranger to me, darling."
"What are you talking about!" Sae felt her energy rise as she finally got her senses back. Her cheeks were flushed from the cold and confusion, and all she could do was ask questions.
The boy ran a hand through his spiked hair and grinned at her. "Stop it Kinomoto. It's not like no one knows what happened. Everyone knows, don't be shy." He sneered.
One of his friends came up beside him. "Whoa! So this is the well talked about Kinomoto Sakura?"
Sae felt lost, what were these people saying. "You are all crazy!"
The boy with the spiked hair that had previously talked to her frowned sadly at her with wide puppy eyes. He stepped right up to her and placed both hands on her shoulders. "Sakura, are you in the mood to do it again with me?" He said innocently.
Sae pushed him away with as much strength as she could muster. "GET AWAY FROM ME!!"
"You didn't act like that when we had sex," He acted hurt, while his friends laughed.
"I've never...done anything of that sort!!" She said shakily as she felt her cheeks burn and her eyes brim with fresh tears.
The spiked hair boy spat and looked disgusted, "Man gurl, just admit what you do. Don't act like a innocent virgin when you're completely just a slut. I mean, back then you were worth doining it with, you had a pretty face, had a perfect body. Look at you now! It's not like I care if you admit that we've done it or not. Ch!" He stalked off with his friends and looked over his shoulder one last time. "And if you seriously don't remember, then you've must of done alot of guys." He winked and disappeared into the dark shadows of the night.
Sae felt herself go weak as she turned on her heels to run.
Why is life so unfair?
Help me, please.
He felt his feet picking up pace as red autumn leaves swirled at his feet. "Where are you? Just tell me!"
I can't remember....
"What?!" He felt his voice echoe in the empty vast field of leaves and trees.
Can't remember.....anything...at all...
He found himself walking towards a shadowed figure. He couldn't see their features, couldn't see a thing at all. "...Is that you..?"
Find me, fast.
"...Sakura?"
Gomen nasai..... He heard her voice..it was her. He was positive.
"I'm here, Sakura. Don't worry..."
Iie (no)...
The shadowed figure came closer, and he waited.
Closer...
and closer....
Slowly he could see the familiar strands of auburn hair...sparkling in the sun's light.
Closer...
and closer......
His eyes went wide.
Blood...
Everywhere....
He screamed.
Syaoran awoke in a cold sweat, his hand flew to his cheeks and felt the dampness of them. He was crying, well, he had been.
His breath was raspy and quick, as he grabbed the cup of water on the night table next to him and drank it all in. Sakura...
"No, I need to find you, right now...something's not right..." He felt himself hitting the bed post as he stumbled out of bed towards the door.
He flung it open, surprised to see Tomoyo's bright eyes staring back at him with shock. "Daidouji!"
"Li-kun! ...I heard your scream, and I woke up...and I..."
He leaned against the door frame, his eyes fell to the floor. "Sakura...she needs me...." He mumbled, choking from the strain in his voice.
Tomoyo looked at him sadly. "Li-kun..."
"Let's go," His head snapped up as he ran back into his hotel room and flung open the closet.
Tomoyo stepped in, confused. "What??"
"We're going, to...what's that town? ....Tsuki??" Syaoran said while flinging all his clothes into the dark green case.
"Right now?!" She shrieked.
"Hai, right now," Syaoran answered while running into the bathroom and grabbing his toothbrush and towels.
Tomoyo rubbed her eyes and smiled slightly, "Hai." I hope we'll find Sakura...oh Sakura.....please let us find you...
Sae flopped onto the bed and buried her face into the pillow. She felt herself crying, and she didn't know why. "Why is everyone always so mean to me...even if I completely don't know them!!" She cried into the pillow, muffling her voice.
Kinomoto Sakura.
That name rung in her ears, and it just wouldn't fade.
"Why..? Why did they mistaken me as someone else..? Do I know those people? Do they really..know me?" Sae lifted her head from the tear stained pillow and frowned. "Maybe I should have stayed and asked them..."
"Iie...what I did was right," Sae shook her head. "They might've been crazy, or dangerous...yeah.."
But in the depths of her mind she couldn't help but feel a weird nagging feeling that she might've been able to find out if she was a girl named Sakura.
And so she decided...that she was going to find those people again and confront them with her endless questions.
Of her life.
