-----------------
I opened my eyes, saw nothing but ruins...
'It's the dream again' I thought..., I saw again the people lying everywhere,...I don't know what happened but it was a complete mess... Suddenly heard a sinister laughing, I turned wildly to my right seeing myself, a boy in my side 'I know I've seen him before...' I thought...
and it hit me, 'Syaoran...kun? But why does he hold a sword?' I thought. I looked at him more closely and it verified that it's him... and then I saw infront of them was a man who's holding a familiar possession of mine... 'Huh?'...Suddenly I heard yellings...
"You run!Hide!You can't sacrifice yourself for me!" the other me said to Syaoran...
"NO!I was sent to protect you! I promise to myself that I won't let them harm you and I have no intention of breaking it!" Syaoran said
"Wow!Like a drama!Well, even if you WON'T escape, I won't let anyone More over You!" The man pointed at the other me and he continued, "Mistress..." I gasped, 'Why does that man know it's me who's the mistress...oh no, is that thing in his hand...the pendant?' I thought, fear on my mind...
Suddenly, I felt the aura of the Evil man(Well, that what he is!) rised up... and a blast came out of nowhere going towards the other me and Syaoran...But Syaoran, went infront of the other me and a blinding light came in....I closed my eyes.... When I reopen my eyes, I saw the boy was lying infront of the other me, The other me was crying, and I felt something stab a knife on my heart, it aches, I don't know why, I don't clearly knew Syaoran but something hurts so much...I looked at the fighting scene and saw the other me, standing up, tears rolling on her cheeks....
"I'll get my pendant from you!You evil!I'll make you pay!!!" She said...
"I don't think so..." the man advance on the other Sakura then....
*=====*=====*
Sakura opened her eyes, "That dream again... I wonder why I got those dreams... And why is Syaoran-kun there and that man holding my pendant..." She said...
"So you're awake now," she heard someone said, and she saw Syaoran holding a tray with food and drink...
"Ohayou, Syaoran-kun..." she said, sitting up but she suddenly felt her head aches so she fell back on her bed...
"Daijoubu?" Sakura nodded..."What are you saying? it's already night you know, you've been sleeping since yesterday and today..." Syaoran said...
"Hoe?I slept that long?what time is it now?" Sakura said...
"9:30 pm..."
"Eh?!!!" Sakura said, suddenly standing up... she felt pain but disregard it...
"What is it?"
"My friend, I'm suppose to meet her at 7pm at Sirca town center!!!Oh no!!!"Sakura said as Syaoran watch her, suddenly Sakura turned to Syaoran as if she have no head ache...
"Can you please show me where the town center is?I have to go there for my friend..." She plead...
"Sure..." Syaoran said, looking away...
"Arigatou, we really don't know each other but you're still helping me. You're such a good person..." She said, smiling at him sweet...Syaoran looked at her slowly, what she said made him think... Even if he has to be near to protect her, he doesn't have to be too nice. He doesn't even know why he let her call him Syaoran. But something in him let her call him like that...Deep inside him, he want to be nice to her.... He went out of his trance when Sakura spoke...
"Ummm, I need to change my clothes now, can you please...you know?" Syaoran, knowing what she want to say, nod and went out.
After Sakura change, they left to find Sakura's friend, Tomoyo... at the same time, a wandering girl knocked on Meiling's house...
"Coming!" Meiling said as she went towards the door, she opened it and found a girl...
"What is it?" Meiling said.
"Excuse me, have you seen a sixteen year old girl with auborn hair and emerald eyes?" A violet-eyed girl asked...
"Are you talking about Sakura Kinomoto?" Meiling said, suspicious...'How did this girl know her?'
"Yes I do!!!" she said excitedly, "Have you seen her?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact, she is staying in my house..." Meiling said...
"She does?" she nod, "How is that possible? Sakura-chan don't know any person here in Sirca..." she said, thoughtful...
"She does now. Well, what do you want with her?"
"I'm her friend, Tomoyo Daidouji, in Esmilia. Something happened and Sakura have to leave and go to the next town where she will be safe. I was left behind but we're suppose to meet in the Sirca town center at 7 but she didn't come...I know she didn't do that on purpose, maybe something came up and she can't make it..."
"My name is Li Meiling by the way. Well there is... I suppose you know what's happening with her, right?"
"What do you mean?" Tomoyo wonders...
"Come on in, I'll tell you. I know we can't risk for someone to hear about the you-know-what..." Meiling lowered her voice on the last phrase.
Tomoyo blinked and in realization, "You mean you know? How did you...?" Tomoyo exclaimed...
"Just like I said, I can explain it while Kinomoto is not here. For a while, come in..." Meiling repeated, gesturing her to come in. Tomoyo did and sat on the couch when Meiling asked her to, she gladly did it. To travel more than 7 hours in the desert and wait for more than 2 hours are just too much for her small body... There was a moment of silent before Tomoyo speak...
"Ummm... From what I said before, How did you know? How did Sakura ended up in this house?" Tomoyo asked...
"Whoa sister! One at a time!" Meiling said...
"Anyway, it first happen when Li Syaoran, my cousin, was assigned to protect Kinomoto and the pendant...Kinomoto didn't know that...she only knew that Syaoran is a stranger. They bump to each other in Esmilia while Sakura was escaping, Syaoran said he can help by letting her come with him. Sakura thought he was just being nice but Syaoran won't do that if she hadn't been the holder...The elders said they can stay over here for a while until it is safe so they live here first..." Meiling said...
Tomoyo was a little amaze on what happen, can't believe many people already know it was her, how Sakura trust a nobody...'Well, that's Sakura alright. Always trusting everyone...' Tomoyo thought...There was silence as they drink in their cups until someone spoke...
"Why did Sakura didn't came to the town center?" Tomoyo said abruptly... Meiling didn't look at her at once as if looking for words for her story...
"It all happened yesterday morning. When they arrived I was so happy to see Syaoran but became sad when I saw Kinomoto with him. That's when I realized she was the chosen one...When they settled in, Kinomoto suddenly came to my room looking for the kitchen..." Tomoyo giggled, "What's so funny?" Meiling asked, wondering...
"Oh nothing, I just remembered a certain uhh thing that likes food so much..." Tomoyo said, laughter in her voice...
"Oh, anyway, I went out of the house to get fresh air, that's when the weird thing happened... the ground I was standing on trembled and I fall to the cliff," Tomoyo gasped on what she went through...she doesn't know where this is going but still listen so Meiling continued, "Lucky I was to be able to hold something so I voiced for help. Syaoran and Kinomoto came and Syaoran hold my hand but I losthis grip and fall...I closed my eyes, realizing it's my time but I suddenly felt something warm to my very soul, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself standing on ground again!I looked to my side and saw a very surprised Syaoran looking at me to Kinomoto, so I understand how I survive the fall...Sakura, using her powers, drained her and needed rest so she slept almost two whole days...." There was a moment of silent between them...
"So, it all happened right after they came...." Tomoyo said.
"Yes, and from that day on, I owe Kinomoto my life..." Tomoyo nodded...
*=====*=====*
She went left and right, right to left but still not found what she was looking for. She went around there for almost one hour, searching for something or someone she knew...After few minutes, she gave up. she stop and went to the fountain finding a tear fall from her eyes...
"Don't cry, it won't do anything good to you...You're just going to have two good eye sores..." someone said, she looked up at him...
"But she might be lost...what if she is lonely, I already left her alone in Esmilia and now, I can't find her...if I'm just a little more responsible, then this won't happen..." Sakura said, another tear fall to her hands...
"It's not your fault. You can't bring her back by blaming yourself..." Syaoran said, he placed a hand on her chin making her look at him...
"It's alright, I promise I'll find your friend tomorrow morning. For now, Let's call it a day. You need rest." Sakura smiled and show him her hand with her pinky open... Syaoran looked at it, his eyes questioning...
"It's how I we promise... when you tie you pinky with mine, your promise is forever..." Sakura explained... So they put their pinkies to each other, and they let go....
"Come on, Meiling-chan will worry about you..." Sakura said, started walking... and Syaoran soon came after....
*======*======*
"Sir, someone informed me that in the outskirts of Sirca, They saw a light coming in there yesterday..." A soldier said, bowed...
"They saw light? What kind of light..." Mishuiru said, somewhat interested...
"Yes sir. It was still daylight but still saw it clearly...They said it's somewhat weird..." Mishuiru smiled wickedly,
"Call two troops to Sirca now, I think the pendant is already with an owner..." Mishuiru said, the soldiers nod and left...
"That means its more easier to get it, it's like taking a candy from a baby..."
"You mean the pendant is already found?!" a seventeen year old, blue-eyed boy said, surprised
"Ah, Gien, my son!!!Yes I have and soon will have the world in my hands..."
"What do you mean in your hands?I thought you'll use it for good..."
"Well, people can lie you know, to gain their trust... I will make a world where weaklings die!We don't have space in this world for them!Besides, in a world of power their possibility of survival is .07 %!But if those powerful live in their fullest, this world will be invincible!"
"You mean you'll let them die?I know emperors are made to save people and not cause death!"
"Well, what you know is wrong!Emperors are made to rule!To decide on what the town must be!And I think what I'm going to do is my decision!" Mishuiru said coolly...
"Fine!do whatever you like!!!" and Gien left.
*=====*=====*
"Tadaima..." Sakura said with no energy at all...
"Okaeri-nasai..." A sweet small voice answered as Syaoran closed the door.
'Nasai?Meiling's voice seemed a little smaller than the last time..' Sakura thought, she looked up and saw a different girl, her sad expression turn to a big smile... she suddenly launch a hug to the new girl and ...
"Tomoyo-chan!!!" Sakura squealed, as Syaoran and Meiling from her room suddenly looked at the happy Sakura dancing in delight with her friend...(Meiling return to her room after...)
"How did you came here?!" Sakura said, smiling a lot...
"When you didn't came for me in the town center for more than two hours, I became worried if you even reach Sirca so I came houses by houses looking for you. Finally, saw this house and met Meiling-chan. She said you temporarily live here so I decided to wait for you here..."
"Oh, Tomoyo!I'm sorry I didnt came...I didn't mean to but the fact remains that I didn't come..." Sakura said, tears rolling down her cheeks...
"Don't cry, Sakura-chan...I won't forgive you if you cry more..." she joked, saying it ever so softly. Sakura immediately stopped and Tomoyo giggled... They silent for a while before Sakura talk...
"Oh yeah, Syaoran, this is Daidouji Tomoyo, my best friend..." she said, looking over Syaoran to Tomoyo...
"Konnichi wa (Hello)" Syaoran said
"Tomoyo, this is Li Syaoran, I met him when I went to Sirca..."
"I see, Konnichi wa..." Tomoyo bowed and smiled...
"Hey, when do you intend to sleep?I'm sleeping and you're ruining my dream with Syaoran by being noisy!" Meiling said rubbing her eyes, already in her night dress and her hair was tied in one ponytail. They sweatdropped and went to their rooms...
"I'm really happy to see you again..." Sakura said abruptly as she comb her hair... she and Tomoyo decided to share in one room... The two of them want to know what had been happening in both sides. Apparently, Tomoyo already knew from Meiling's point of view but she wants to know the Sakura's point of view.
"So, what's happening?" They said at the same time...there was a pause...
"You fir..." they said at the same time again, then a pause...suddenly Tomoyo giggled, after a while, both were laughing until they fell asleep...
*=====*=====*
She looked around and noticed that she was flying... she saw people running, fear printed on their faces...'Another dream...' Sakura thought... she look around again searching who they feared and saw a man in her dreams before. She gasped, 'Why am I dreaming of you?' ...He destroy the houses which is near him and he called...
"Where are you, Mistress?" The man said... suddenly, mist came and everything insight became unclear...
"I know you're hiding, you know I can find you by this pendant..." she gasped...'So it is my pendant but it's...' she look more closely and 'it's black!oh no!How did he...got it from me?' She thought...
"Stop it Father!!I can't let you kill Sakura!" A new blue-eyed boy came,
"Why!Of all people!My son, If you go against me, you'll regret it!" he threatened...
"Then be it!You'll only have Sakura over my dead body!!!" He said
"Then receive your punishment..." Black beam came from nowhere hit the boy and he fall to the ground... Sakura suddenly felt angriness inside her... 'How could a father do that to his son?' until she suddenly heard...
"No!!!" and she saw her other self coming out of the mist, running, followed by Syaoran and Kero, the other Sakura went on her knees and pulled up the new boy, speaking to him while Syaoran protect her, ...
"So there you are!I thought you won't come out!" He said as if he didn't killed his son...
The other Sakura standed up and...
"How dare you!You killed so many people, including your Son!!!Is power more than your Son!!!" She said as she stand up, brushing her hair out of her eyes and the tears which threaten to fall...
"Well, let me think..." he mocked..."I think its...power!" as he said that, he beamed at Sakura but she rolled left... but what she didn't know is that the beam followed her. In short, she was shot...
"Ha!I told you you can't escape..."
"Sakura!!!" Syaoran said running to her... "Daijoubu?" Sakura nodded and stand up, as if telling her companion, she can do it...Syaoran, getting the message suddenly stand up and and went infront of her gesturing protection...
"Haha!Sacrificing himself!!!" the man continued to laugh...
"You run!Hide....." The other Sakura continued, 'I remeber this scenes...' the Sakura who watch from a far suddenly became dizzy, she closed her eyes and when she opened it...
"Ohayou gozaimasu(Good morning), Sakura-chan..." Someone spoke, and...
"Ohayou, Tomoyo-chan..." Sakura sit up... "How long have you been awake?" Sakura asked...
"A little while before you woke up..." and the subject closed...
"I wonder, I've been thinking..." Tomoyo said abruptly...
"Nanda(What is it)?" Sakura said...
"Where's Kero-chan?" Sakura look around and then stop silent....and then....
"Hoeeeee!!!" Sakura said ever so careful not to make too much noise in the morning...
Meiling stretch as she make her way to the kitchen, but suddenly she heard munches...
"Mrmmm...mrhhhmmmm..." it said. Meiling remembered Sakura when it comes to kitchens so she stayed quiet and surprise her... but as she made her first step, the munching stopped and the opening of the refrigerator was heard...
'Sakura sure have appetite...' Meiling thought and when she was near enough she didn't saw anyone... she became suspicious she walk towards the refrigerator and found nothing but...
"What's this?" She picked up a small winged yellow stuffed animal(Kero:I'm not a stuffed animal!!!)... she narrowed her eyes but suddenly...
"Wow, Meiling-chan!Where did you get this cute stuffed animal(Kero:One more mention of that word to describe me and I'll you in half...*Sweatdropped*)?!?!" Sakura said approached her and got Kero out of Meiling's hand and in her hand, she pinched Kero hard, kero sweatdropped...
"I-it's not mine you know, and I don't like stuffed animals(...Kero run after me holding a knife...)!You can have it..." Sakura sighed in relief and secretly shot a glare to Kero...
"Where's Syaoran, by the way?" Sakura asked
"Hmmm, probably with Yamazaki..."
"Oh okay..." And the topic died. Moment of silent before Meiling ask again...
"But by the way, if you're not the one eating the food, then who..." Meiling said...
"What are you saying, Meiling -chan? You must be imagining things..." Tomoyo said...
"I mean thi...Ah!!!" Meiling flinched...The basket with full of cookies which was emptied a while ago, was fulled with biscuits again and the refrigerator which was open before is now closed...
"How did this happen?I'm sure I saw and heard munchings..." Sakura, Tomoyo and Kero sweatdropped but didn't show it much...
"Well, maybe you're wrong...Thank you again for this thing!" Sakura said as they went to their room leaving a very confused Meiling...
"How did that happen?I, well...Urghhh...I forgot why I was going to the Kitchen!!!" Meiling said and went to her room...
"How there you, kero-chan!What if they saw you moving!You must think of the consequences before you act!!!If I didn't use magic to reproduce the food you ate, then we're busted!!Remember that we only stay here!It's not my house..." Sakura scolded...
"But you didn't gave me food for two days...I've been hungry, guarding you at night to make sure nothing will happen.." Kero said...Sakura didn't answer but Tomoyo...
"How does they taste?" she said abruptly...Sakura sweatdropped...
"Hmm, yummy!!!"
*=====*=====*
"Tadaima!" Syaoran said as Yamazaki closed the door...
"Okaeri-nasai" Three girls said at the same time as Meiling went out of her room and and gave coffee to Syaoran...
"How about me?" Yamazaki asked, pointing to himself...
"You don't need it." Meiling shot a narrow eyes to him and he just sighed in defeat...Sakura and Tomoyo went out of their room and sit beside the three...
"Where did you go?" Sakura asked Syaoran...
"Just there..." Syaoran simply said...
"Where is that?" Sakura said
"There..." Syaoran again said...Sakura sighed, she knew there's no use asking him that, so she change topic...
"Anyway, it's been three days since we came here...How about showing me the whole town? I've been dying to see..." Sakura said excitedly...
"I just got back..."
"Oh pretty please..." Sakura said...Syaoran sighed and
"Do I have a choice.." Sakura jump up smiling brightly...
"Arigatou, Tomoyo, do you want to come?"
"Sure, I'll be happy to go. Though I saw the whle town before when I search for you..." Tomoyo said and Sakura sweatdropped...
"How about you?" She asked Yamazaki...
"Sure I'll go, Chiharu wants to meet you..." Yamazaki said...
"Meiling-chan, do you want to go?"
"Yeah..." Meiling said
"Then let's go!!!!" Sakura said... And they went around the town, through the parks, the twn center where Tomoyo explained what she did when sakura isn't coming at their planned place and said that she saw very good fabrics in the Mall near the town center...They went in and Tomoyo bought some fabrics...
"What will you do with that?" Yamazaki said...Sakura sweatdropped...
"I think I know..." Sakura blurted out
"Well, I can make dresses with that...for Sakura-chan!!!I'm sure the ones in my mind will surely fit her well!!" Tomoyo said excitedly...
"Hoe....I thought so..." Sakura said...So after the Mall, they went to Chiharu's house...
"Sakura this is Chiharu..." Chiharu shake hands with her...
"So you're Sakura...Konnichi wa...." Chiharu said...
"Konnichi wa..." Sakura said, smiling sweetly...
"I've seen you before, You're the one looking for your friend last night, aren't you?" Chiharu said, she means Tomoyo...
"Hai.." she said with a nod...
"So did you find her?" Chiharu said while Sakura giggles
"Hai...as a matter of fact, she's in front of you..."
"Oh, it's Sakura...small world..."
"So guys, let's find a restaurant now and eat, can we?It's already 7 at night...." Everyone nods...
"Anyway, speaking of restaurants, do you know that restaurants were built when the president made a party for commoners..." Yamazaki said, but Chiharu punch him...
"Quit it already!!!One more lie and we'll break off..." Chiharu crossed her arms on her chest and turn back as Yamazaki plead not to...Syaoran and Meiling shook their head in disbelief while Sakura and Tomoyo giggles on how cute Chiharu and Yamazaki is... They were silent while they eat when Chiharu notice something
"Wow, This pendant's cute!!!" Chiharu said as she touch the pearl wings pendant...Sakura froze, 'Oh no!What if she knew what it is or somebody else will see it?'
"Where did you bought this?" Chiharu said, not taking her eyes off the pendant... "It must be expensive!!" she exclaimed
"Umm, I just got this, inherited it from my ancestors..." Sakura said clutching it,...though she didn't say the magic part...
"Oh, I guess, it can't be buy..." Chiharu said... So they ate quietly until they finish and they went home...
While Tomoyo is blabbing about what she's going to do with the fabrics she got a while ago and Yamazaki was talking about something, Sakura has been thinking how she got the pendant, how it got in their house without her noticing it until she was chosen to be the master or its mistress rather...When they got home, Tomoyo and Yamazaki was tired of talking so they went straight to bed...Sakura went to bed too but didn't sleep, just stare at the ceiling. She is wondering what had happen if she hadn't been chosen... Maybe she will stay at Esmilia for her entire life, won't meet Syaoran, Yamazaki, Meiling, Chiharu and Kero...Though she won't be chased by soldiers, hiding from them or giving away energy to produce a miracle if she didn't got the pendant... As she thinks about those things, she didn't notice she fell asleep...
Sakura opened her eyes, she felt pain all over her body...she tried to stand up but failed...
"Sakura! Daijoubu?" She heard, she look up and saw Syaoran...'He called me Sakura...' she manage to stand up with difficulty...then she realize that he is full of bruises and herself too!
'When did I got this cuts?' She looked around and saw the boy which died on her dream...and it hit her...'I'm on my dream again, but, I'm not watching now...' she turned in front of her...it's Syaoran...
"Syaoran-kun...no! You can't die for me... You must run!Don't sacrifice for me!"
"No!I was sent to protect you with my life!" He said...'Like the scenes on my dream... Wait a minute...sent to protect me with his life?'
"Wow!like a drama!Even if you protect her, boy!She can't survive my power!!!" A beam went towards them and Syaoran turned to her, and protected her by his body...The beam suddenly became slow motion for them...
"No...please don't die like this, Syaoran-kun..." She whispers, 'He can't die for me...' He smiled at her...and the beam hit him, Sakura rolled over and Syaoran dropped to the ground...
She looked at him when she recover from the blow..
"Syaoran-kun...wake up!wake up!You can't die yet!!!" Sakura said, shaking him wildly...
"Hahaha...!!!One down one more to go..."
Sakura stand up her face is all wet... She feel her power is increasing, The evil man can see her aura so clear... and she look up...
"How dare kill him!Baka(Idiot)!!!!" Sakura said... her aura is blasting over...
"Whoa!You still have power even without the pendant huh..." The evil man mock...
"I'll make you pay!For those who you killed for all this nonsense..." Sakura said walking towards him...
"Well, let's see what you got..." He advance at her menacingly...and black out...Sakura got up...her face full of sweat...and she is panting...She looked around and found out she was still in her room with the sleeping Tomoyo, she can hear Kero's snoring, ...She wipe out her sweat and fall back to bed but didn't sleep...She look at her watch and it's only 6 in the morning...
'I wonder what that means, I've been dreaming about that since I went out of Esmilia...maybe it means something, Maybe I can ask Kero about it, or maybe not, I'll only make him worry if it really means something...Oh, I wish that dream shows the future, I can't risks those people dies...I wonder who is that criminal, he knew who I am...and Syaoran, he knew it's me!and he said something like sent to protect me...what's that?' she thought, she's really confuse about it. She decided to get up so she can move easily without waking someone up and dress, ... She carefully get out of the room without waking Tomoyo and Kero but as she get out...
"Stop!" She stops and turned sheepishly to see who said it and saw Kero with his eyes closed...
"I will catch you!Don't run away my sweet pudding...!Here I come..." Kero said as Sakura sweatdropped...She went out of the room and decided to seat on the sofa, her mind is still in her dream,...she heard foot steps and...
"Ohayou, Kinomoto..." She heard, she looked up and saw Syaoran
"Ohayou..." Sakura said and went back to her thinking...Syaoran notice...
"You're not yourself today..." He suddenly said, looking away...
"What?" Sakura said, looking at him
"You're not as cheerful as always..." Syaoran said...
"Daijoubu(I'm fine)...I just had a bad dream..." Sakura confessed...he looked at her...
"It's just a dream, it won't happen..." Syaoran said, Sakura smiled...
"I also wish that, it's too risky if my pendant will turn black..." Syaoran became serious when he heard 'my pendant will turn black...' as Sakura clasped her mouth...'Bad Sakura!How could I just talk about it in front of him...'
"What did you just said?" Syaoran said, urgently...
"N-nothing!!!Forget about it, it's just a dream!!!" Sakura said wondering how she can change the topic... Syaoran didn't force to get the truth...but someday, he want to know about the dream, he dismiss that topic and said...
"Anyway, I'll go out, and meet Yamazaki..."
"Can I come?" Sakura asked...
"Please, I don't have anyone to talk to here yet..." She said...
"Okay..." Syaoran said as Sakura smiled, standing up and followed Syaoran from the door...
As they walk towards where Yamazaki was staying, Sakura's emerald eye caught something...an old woman at the side of the street....
"Can you wait for a minute?" Sakura said as she dig her pocket...She caught a 300 gins(money in Eiden, it's equivalent to yen...) and gave it to the old woman...the old woman looked at her palm and looked at the smiling Sakura...
"Arigatou, sweet child..." she said
"You're welcome..." Sakura said...
"To pay you up, I'll foreseeyou future..." The old woman closed her eyes as Sakura pays attention...
"You shall see the future in your dream...those awaiting for you might be harsh but you'll overcome it...You have great power my child...You possess great treasure..." Sakura looked at her, surprise...
"Anyway, thanks for the prediction,...I'll go now..." Sakura said, smiling but behind the smile she worry about what the old woman said... 'Your future is in your dream,..' if it's true, then her pendant will be stolen... They went to Yamazaki's place in silent...When they reached the place, Sakura and Chiharu talked while Yamazaki and Syaoran talk about something else...
"What is it?"
"We'll meet the man next week okay...?We need informations about where the soldiers search..." Syaoran said...
"Okay..." They kept silent for a while when...
"You seems to be bothered by something...anything wrong?" Yamazaki said...
"Yes, there is, even if it's a dream, it bothers me..."
"What?"
"Kinomoto's having a very very bad dream... she said in her dream the pendant was stolen and turned black..." Yamazaki flinched, surprise...
"I wish that doesn't symbolize anything, that's so bad..." they were interrupted when Chiharu asked them to join them in the table, eating breakfast...After they ate, Syaoran and Sakura walked back home silently... but it broke off when...
"You know, you're very silent ever since I saw you and when you walk to the old woman a while ago...did she said something to you?" Syaoran said, not bothering to look at her...Sakura looked at him...
"Yes, she had...about my dream," he looked at her..." She said, my future lies on my dream which is a very bad dream..." Sakura said, looking down...
"I don't want it to happen...I can't let it happen..." Sakura said shakely, sadness in her voice and a tear drop on the ground as they walk...
"Daijoubu...it's just a prediction, It is possible not to come true...you don't have to worry much..." Syaoran said and Sakura smiled while brushing the tears...
*=====*=====*
7 days later...
"What's the latest thing the governor said about?" Syaoran said to an old man... he came from Walludos, the soldier's town. He owe the Li clan his life so for the payment, he offered to give informations about the searches and everything.
"They plan a search on Sun town and this town. They said that someone informed them that they saw a bright light here. Even if there's still a sun, they saw the bright light clearly..."
"Bright light, they saw it...Even if they didn't feel the earthquake, they saw the light...strange..."
"Strange, but is the pendant already unsealed?" the old man asked...
"I can't tell you that, asked the elders yourself..."
"Anyway, Go to Sun Town and tell the elders your information... detour to Okina but be fast maybe one off this days the soldiers searching Esmilia might cross you and all will be in big trouble..." The old man nodded...
"Thank you for your information, go now, you have a long way to go..." Syaoran said as him and Yamazaki bowed low at him while the old man left...
*=====*=====*
Next day...
Syaoran, Tomoyo, Meiling, Yamazaki, and even Kero are now worrying...Sakura has been depressed for almost a week now...she's not saying any word about what's bothering her and when Syaoran is going to talk to her, she always avoid him...Sakura's dream is getting worse... She saw Meiling, and Yamazaki being killed in order to fight the evil one...She now knows what Kero means when the pearl wings pendant turns to black...One time after Sakura ate,
"I'm going out first..." Sakura said without energy, they look at her as she walk out, one creek of the door and she was out...
"Okay, who knows what happened to her lately..." Meiling demanded, no one answered, even Kero is listening concerned for his mistress...
"I know you know Daidouji-san...You're her bestfriend..." Meiling said...
"She don't want to talk to me, when I speak to her, she always avoid me...and when I wake up in the morning, she's always not there in her bed...In Esmilia, she's always late on everything but ever since we I came here, there was a glint of sadness in her eyes even if her smiles hides everything...But don't worry, I'll have her talk one of this days..." Tomoyo said...
"Syaoran talked to me sometimes, and he sort of said that she's been having a dream..." All of them except Syaoran looked at him then turn to Syaoran...
"Onegai(Please), you know that dream, don't you?I need to know it to help Sakura-chan..." Tomoyo plead as Syaoran sighs...
"She somewhat said something to me, she dreamt of the pendant being controlled by someone evil, and the pendant became black..." Syaoran said...Tomoyo and Meiling gasped including Kero...
"That dream isn't ordinary, to dream about the pendant being black is a very bad omen..." Kero said....
"It must be very bad...." Tomoyo said, in her mind, she wonders why she is avoiding us...
"Yeah...." Meiling said slowly, somehow worry to the girl...
*=====*=====*
Sakura sighed...it been days since she got that dream....she doesn't understand why her pendant's been stolen or like that...all she knew is that many died because of that pendant and she won't allow it to happen...she continue to walk until, bump...
"Hoeee...."
"Daijoubu desu ka?" A young man said...Sakura looked up...a blue eyed young man which seemed to be in her age...
"Yeah..." Sakura said slowly... "Did we... met before?" Sakura asked and the lad stared at her
"Oh, nevermind, I'm Sakura Kinomoto by the way..." Sakura said...
"And I'm Gien uh umm...Just call me Gien..." she ignores it...
"Okay Gien, I have to go now..."
"W-wait, do you know where I can stay?"
"Umm, I don't know...maybe I can ask Meiling if you can live with us..." Gien smiled and followed Sakura...
"Where's your town by the way?"
"In uhh Dalis..." Gien stammered...
"Hoee, you're far you know... How did you got here..."
"I don't know, last thing in my mind is to get away from my father..."
"Why?"
"I don't like his idea about this world..." Gien said, they stayed silent until they got home, when Sakura came home, Gien stayed outside first until Sakura tell him to come in...
"Meiling, is it alright if Gien stayed here?" Sakura said....
"I don't know, you don't know him much...you just met him in the streets and now you already trust him?" Meiling said in disbelief...
"Don't sue her, she's Sakura...trusting everything... knowing no one is evil..." Tomoyo said but something in that sentence remind Sakura of her dream, her depression came back... Meiling maybe noticed it and sighed...
"Yes, okay...he can come in..." Meiling said...Sakura managed to smile...
"Arigatou, Meiling-chan...." and they let Gien come in....
*=====*=====*
"I know you're hiding something from me..." Tomoyo said...Sakura didn't answer.....
"The fact that, you're avoiding us and the glint of sadness I see in your eyes......It's about your dream, isn't it?" Tomoyo said softly...one minute later, she heard sobbing...
"Shhh..." Tomoyo sooths her, she sit up and embraced Sakura...
"It's so bad...I- I don't like my dream,..." Sakura started...
"What is it about,..."
"The pendant... it was stolen from me...it turned black..." Sakura said not making whole sentence finished though...
"Then it destroys... all this became ruins... and people, dies...and my friends..." Sakura said, snuggling on Tomoyo's chest...
"Shh...what happened to us?" Tomoyo said...
"Evil man... destroys...I don't want it... He destroys, killing my friends,... one by one...." Sakura said, as if she's been holding back since she got the dream...
"Don't worry, it won't hurt you...I'm still here, am I?I won't leave my Sakura..." Tomoyo said...Sakura didn't stop crying but somehow, Tomoyo felt she is much relax than this days ago...What they didn't know is that Kero and Syaoran heard it all...at the same time, both thought the same...
""That dream isn't ordinary...""
*=====*=====*
"Thanks for last night, Tomoyo...I feel much better now..." Sakura said, smiling sweetly at her bestfriend as they walk towards the dining room...Now that Sakura is somehow back to her old self, Syaoran has other worries...
"What's wrong, Syaoran-kun?" Sakura said...
"Nothing..."
"No, it's not 'nothing'...You can tell me...I bet they also want to know..." Sakura said pointing at the rest...(Oh yeah, Gien still sleeping...)Syaoran sighed and said the truth...
"They plan to search to new places like Sun town..." Syaoran said...Meiling gasped...
"Our hometown...." Syaoran said and Sakura and Tomoyo gasp too
"You said 'places', what's the other town?" Tomoyo said, dreading 'it's not this place
"Sirca town, this town..."
"Hoe?" Sakura said, 'Oh no!', "Why this place?" she added...
"They said they saw bright light coming from here three days ago, the time Meiling got safely on ground...No one knows how but they said at that time, they saw light even if there's a sun..." Syaoran said, he lied on the part 'No one knows how', he himself know who it is...
Sakura sighed in relief that no one knows who did it, but got scared when someone saw the light of the pendant, that's a bad omen...
"Anyway, They said, the soldiers are on their way here now, probably reach this place fifteen days from now...and after this town they'll go to Sun town and You all know that Sun town is where magic lies and like that so they think it's in there..." Syaoran said...
"Yeah, where the magical Li clan lives...." Yamazaki slipped it out as Syaoran and Meiling glared at him...
"Magical Li clan?" Tomoyo repeated....

By: sakura2649 (GUYS!PLS. REVIEW!!!and English is not my first language so forgive me if words, phrases and sentences are wrong!Just ask me if you can't understand some parts..)
-----------------
I opened my eyes, saw nothing but ruins...
'It's the dream again' I thought..., I saw again the people lying everywhere,...I don't know what happened but it was a complete mess... Suddenly heard a sinister laughing, I turned wildly to my right seeing myself, a boy in my side 'I know I've seen him before...' I thought...
and it hit me, 'Syaoran...kun? But why does he hold a sword?' I thought. I looked at him more closely and it verified that it's him... and then I saw infront of them was a man who's holding a familiar possession of mine... 'Huh?'...Suddenly I heard yellings...
"You run!Hide!You can't sacrifice yourself for me!" the other me said to Syaoran...
"NO!I was sent to protect you! I promise to myself that I won't let them harm you and I have no intention of breaking it!" Syaoran said
"Wow!Like a drama!Well, even if you WON'T escape, I won't let anyone More over You!" The man pointed at the other me and he continued, "Mistress..." I gasped, 'Why does that man know it's me who's the mistress...oh no, is that thing in his hand...the pendant?' I thought, fear on my mind...
Suddenly, I felt the aura of the Evil man(Well, that what he is!) rised up... and a blast came out of nowhere going towards the other me and Syaoran...But Syaoran, went infront of the other me and a blinding light came in....I closed my eyes.... When I reopen my eyes, I saw the boy was lying infront of the other me, The other me was crying, and I felt something stab a knife on my heart, it aches, I don't know why, I don't clearly knew Syaoran but something hurts so much...I looked at the fighting scene and saw the other me, standing up, tears rolling on her cheeks....
"I'll get my pendant from you!You evil!I'll make you pay!!!" She said...
"I don't think so..." the man advance on the other Sakura then....
*=====*=====*
Sakura opened her eyes, "That dream again... I wonder why I got those dreams... And why is Syaoran-kun there and that man holding my pendant..." She said...
"So you're awake now," she heard someone said, and she saw Syaoran holding a tray with food and drink...
"Ohayou, Syaoran-kun..." she said, sitting up but she suddenly felt her head aches so she fell back on her bed...
"Daijoubu?" Sakura nodded..."What are you saying? it's already night you know, you've been sleeping since yesterday and today..." Syaoran said...
"Hoe?I slept that long?what time is it now?" Sakura said...
"9:30 pm..."
"Eh?!!!" Sakura said, suddenly standing up... she felt pain but disregard it...
"What is it?"
"My friend, I'm suppose to meet her at 7pm at Sirca town center!!!Oh no!!!"Sakura said as Syaoran watch her, suddenly Sakura turned to Syaoran as if she have no head ache...
"Can you please show me where the town center is?I have to go there for my friend..." She plead...
"Sure..." Syaoran said, looking away...
"Arigatou, we really don't know each other but you're still helping me. You're such a good person..." She said, smiling at him sweet...Syaoran looked at her slowly, what she said made him think... Even if he has to be near to protect her, he doesn't have to be too nice. He doesn't even know why he let her call him Syaoran. But something in him let her call him like that...Deep inside him, he want to be nice to her.... He went out of his trance when Sakura spoke...
"Ummm, I need to change my clothes now, can you please...you know?" Syaoran, knowing what she want to say, nod and went out.
After Sakura change, they left to find Sakura's friend, Tomoyo... at the same time, a wandering girl knocked on Meiling's house...
"Coming!" Meiling said as she went towards the door, she opened it and found a girl...
"What is it?" Meiling said.
"Excuse me, have you seen a sixteen year old girl with auborn hair and emerald eyes?" A violet-eyed girl asked...
"Are you talking about Sakura Kinomoto?" Meiling said, suspicious...'How did this girl know her?'
"Yes I do!!!" she said excitedly, "Have you seen her?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact, she is staying in my house..." Meiling said...
"She does?" she nod, "How is that possible? Sakura-chan don't know any person here in Sirca..." she said, thoughtful...
"She does now. Well, what do you want with her?"
"I'm her friend, Tomoyo Daidouji, in Esmilia. Something happened and Sakura have to leave and go to the next town where she will be safe. I was left behind but we're suppose to meet in the Sirca town center at 7 but she didn't come...I know she didn't do that on purpose, maybe something came up and she can't make it..."
"My name is Li Meiling by the way. Well there is... I suppose you know what's happening with her, right?"
"What do you mean?" Tomoyo wonders...
"Come on in, I'll tell you. I know we can't risk for someone to hear about the you-know-what..." Meiling lowered her voice on the last phrase.
Tomoyo blinked and in realization, "You mean you know? How did you...?" Tomoyo exclaimed...
"Just like I said, I can explain it while Kinomoto is not here. For a while, come in..." Meiling repeated, gesturing her to come in. Tomoyo did and sat on the couch when Meiling asked her to, she gladly did it. To travel more than 7 hours in the desert and wait for more than 2 hours are just too much for her small body... There was a moment of silent before Tomoyo speak...
"Ummm... From what I said before, How did you know? How did Sakura ended up in this house?" Tomoyo asked...
"Whoa sister! One at a time!" Meiling said...
"Anyway, it first happen when Li Syaoran, my cousin, was assigned to protect Kinomoto and the pendant...Kinomoto didn't know that...she only knew that Syaoran is a stranger. They bump to each other in Esmilia while Sakura was escaping, Syaoran said he can help by letting her come with him. Sakura thought he was just being nice but Syaoran won't do that if she hadn't been the holder...The elders said they can stay over here for a while until it is safe so they live here first..." Meiling said...
Tomoyo was a little amaze on what happen, can't believe many people already know it was her, how Sakura trust a nobody...'Well, that's Sakura alright. Always trusting everyone...' Tomoyo thought...There was silence as they drink in their cups until someone spoke...
"Why did Sakura didn't came to the town center?" Tomoyo said abruptly... Meiling didn't look at her at once as if looking for words for her story...
"It all happened yesterday morning. When they arrived I was so happy to see Syaoran but became sad when I saw Kinomoto with him. That's when I realized she was the chosen one...When they settled in, Kinomoto suddenly came to my room looking for the kitchen..." Tomoyo giggled, "What's so funny?" Meiling asked, wondering...
"Oh nothing, I just remembered a certain uhh thing that likes food so much..." Tomoyo said, laughter in her voice...
"Oh, anyway, I went out of the house to get fresh air, that's when the weird thing happened... the ground I was standing on trembled and I fall to the cliff," Tomoyo gasped on what she went through...she doesn't know where this is going but still listen so Meiling continued, "Lucky I was to be able to hold something so I voiced for help. Syaoran and Kinomoto came and Syaoran hold my hand but I losthis grip and fall...I closed my eyes, realizing it's my time but I suddenly felt something warm to my very soul, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself standing on ground again!I looked to my side and saw a very surprised Syaoran looking at me to Kinomoto, so I understand how I survive the fall...Sakura, using her powers, drained her and needed rest so she slept almost two whole days...." There was a moment of silent between them...
"So, it all happened right after they came...." Tomoyo said.
"Yes, and from that day on, I owe Kinomoto my life..." Tomoyo nodded...
*=====*=====*
She went left and right, right to left but still not found what she was looking for. She went around there for almost one hour, searching for something or someone she knew...After few minutes, she gave up. she stop and went to the fountain finding a tear fall from her eyes...
"Don't cry, it won't do anything good to you...You're just going to have two good eye sores..." someone said, she looked up at him...
"But she might be lost...what if she is lonely, I already left her alone in Esmilia and now, I can't find her...if I'm just a little more responsible, then this won't happen..." Sakura said, another tear fall to her hands...
"It's not your fault. You can't bring her back by blaming yourself..." Syaoran said, he placed a hand on her chin making her look at him...
"It's alright, I promise I'll find your friend tomorrow morning. For now, Let's call it a day. You need rest." Sakura smiled and show him her hand with her pinky open... Syaoran looked at it, his eyes questioning...
"It's how I we promise... when you tie you pinky with mine, your promise is forever..." Sakura explained... So they put their pinkies to each other, and they let go....
"Come on, Meiling-chan will worry about you..." Sakura said, started walking... and Syaoran soon came after....
*======*======*
"Sir, someone informed me that in the outskirts of Sirca, They saw a light coming in there yesterday..." A soldier said, bowed...
"They saw light? What kind of light..." Mishuiru said, somewhat interested...
"Yes sir. It was still daylight but still saw it clearly...They said it's somewhat weird..." Mishuiru smiled wickedly,
"Call two troops to Sirca now, I think the pendant is already with an owner..." Mishuiru said, the soldiers nod and left...
"That means its more easier to get it, it's like taking a candy from a baby..."
"You mean the pendant is already found?!" a seventeen year old, blue-eyed boy said, surprised
"Ah, Gien, my son!!!Yes I have and soon will have the world in my hands..."
"What do you mean in your hands?I thought you'll use it for good..."
"Well, people can lie you know, to gain their trust... I will make a world where weaklings die!We don't have space in this world for them!Besides, in a world of power their possibility of survival is .07 %!But if those powerful live in their fullest, this world will be invincible!"
"You mean you'll let them die?I know emperors are made to save people and not cause death!"
"Well, what you know is wrong!Emperors are made to rule!To decide on what the town must be!And I think what I'm going to do is my decision!" Mishuiru said coolly...
"Fine!do whatever you like!!!" and Gien left.
*=====*=====*
"Tadaima..." Sakura said with no energy at all...
"Okaeri-nasai..." A sweet small voice answered as Syaoran closed the door.
'Nasai?Meiling's voice seemed a little smaller than the last time..' Sakura thought, she looked up and saw a different girl, her sad expression turn to a big smile... she suddenly launch a hug to the new girl and ...
"Tomoyo-chan!!!" Sakura squealed, as Syaoran and Meiling from her room suddenly looked at the happy Sakura dancing in delight with her friend...(Meiling return to her room after...)
"How did you came here?!" Sakura said, smiling a lot...
"When you didn't came for me in the town center for more than two hours, I became worried if you even reach Sirca so I came houses by houses looking for you. Finally, saw this house and met Meiling-chan. She said you temporarily live here so I decided to wait for you here..."
"Oh, Tomoyo!I'm sorry I didnt came...I didn't mean to but the fact remains that I didn't come..." Sakura said, tears rolling down her cheeks...
"Don't cry, Sakura-chan...I won't forgive you if you cry more..." she joked, saying it ever so softly. Sakura immediately stopped and Tomoyo giggled... They silent for a while before Sakura talk...
"Oh yeah, Syaoran, this is Daidouji Tomoyo, my best friend..." she said, looking over Syaoran to Tomoyo...
"Konnichi wa (Hello)" Syaoran said
"Tomoyo, this is Li Syaoran, I met him when I went to Sirca..."
"I see, Konnichi wa..." Tomoyo bowed and smiled...
"Hey, when do you intend to sleep?I'm sleeping and you're ruining my dream with Syaoran by being noisy!" Meiling said rubbing her eyes, already in her night dress and her hair was tied in one ponytail. They sweatdropped and went to their rooms...
"I'm really happy to see you again..." Sakura said abruptly as she comb her hair... she and Tomoyo decided to share in one room... The two of them want to know what had been happening in both sides. Apparently, Tomoyo already knew from Meiling's point of view but she wants to know the Sakura's point of view.
"So, what's happening?" They said at the same time...there was a pause...
"You fir..." they said at the same time again, then a pause...suddenly Tomoyo giggled, after a while, both were laughing until they fell asleep...
*=====*=====*
She looked around and noticed that she was flying... she saw people running, fear printed on their faces...'Another dream...' Sakura thought... she look around again searching who they feared and saw a man in her dreams before. She gasped, 'Why am I dreaming of you?' ...He destroy the houses which is near him and he called...
"Where are you, Mistress?" The man said... suddenly, mist came and everything insight became unclear...
"I know you're hiding, you know I can find you by this pendant..." she gasped...'So it is my pendant but it's...' she look more closely and 'it's black!oh no!How did he...got it from me?' She thought...
"Stop it Father!!I can't let you kill Sakura!" A new blue-eyed boy came,
"Why!Of all people!My son, If you go against me, you'll regret it!" he threatened...
"Then be it!You'll only have Sakura over my dead body!!!" He said
"Then receive your punishment..." Black beam came from nowhere hit the boy and he fall to the ground... Sakura suddenly felt angriness inside her... 'How could a father do that to his son?' until she suddenly heard...
"No!!!" and she saw her other self coming out of the mist, running, followed by Syaoran and Kero, the other Sakura went on her knees and pulled up the new boy, speaking to him while Syaoran protect her, ...
"So there you are!I thought you won't come out!" He said as if he didn't killed his son...
The other Sakura standed up and...
"How dare you!You killed so many people, including your Son!!!Is power more than your Son!!!" She said as she stand up, brushing her hair out of her eyes and the tears which threaten to fall...
"Well, let me think..." he mocked..."I think its...power!" as he said that, he beamed at Sakura but she rolled left... but what she didn't know is that the beam followed her. In short, she was shot...
"Ha!I told you you can't escape..."
"Sakura!!!" Syaoran said running to her... "Daijoubu?" Sakura nodded and stand up, as if telling her companion, she can do it...Syaoran, getting the message suddenly stand up and and went infront of her gesturing protection...
"Haha!Sacrificing himself!!!" the man continued to laugh...
"You run!Hide....." The other Sakura continued, 'I remeber this scenes...' the Sakura who watch from a far suddenly became dizzy, she closed her eyes and when she opened it...
"Ohayou gozaimasu(Good morning), Sakura-chan..." Someone spoke, and...
"Ohayou, Tomoyo-chan..." Sakura sit up... "How long have you been awake?" Sakura asked...
"A little while before you woke up..." and the subject closed...
"I wonder, I've been thinking..." Tomoyo said abruptly...
"Nanda(What is it)?" Sakura said...
"Where's Kero-chan?" Sakura look around and then stop silent....and then....
"Hoeeeee!!!" Sakura said ever so careful not to make too much noise in the morning...
Meiling stretch as she make her way to the kitchen, but suddenly she heard munches...
"Mrmmm...mrhhhmmmm..." it said. Meiling remembered Sakura when it comes to kitchens so she stayed quiet and surprise her... but as she made her first step, the munching stopped and the opening of the refrigerator was heard...
'Sakura sure have appetite...' Meiling thought and when she was near enough she didn't saw anyone... she became suspicious she walk towards the refrigerator and found nothing but...
"What's this?" She picked up a small winged yellow stuffed animal(Kero:I'm not a stuffed animal!!!)... she narrowed her eyes but suddenly...
"Wow, Meiling-chan!Where did you get this cute stuffed animal(Kero:One more mention of that word to describe me and I'll you in half...*Sweatdropped*)?!?!" Sakura said approached her and got Kero out of Meiling's hand and in her hand, she pinched Kero hard, kero sweatdropped...
"I-it's not mine you know, and I don't like stuffed animals(...Kero run after me holding a knife...)!You can have it..." Sakura sighed in relief and secretly shot a glare to Kero...
"Where's Syaoran, by the way?" Sakura asked
"Hmmm, probably with Yamazaki..."
"Oh okay..." And the topic died. Moment of silent before Meiling ask again...
"But by the way, if you're not the one eating the food, then who..." Meiling said...
"What are you saying, Meiling -chan? You must be imagining things..." Tomoyo said...
"I mean thi...Ah!!!" Meiling flinched...The basket with full of cookies which was emptied a while ago, was fulled with biscuits again and the refrigerator which was open before is now closed...
"How did this happen?I'm sure I saw and heard munchings..." Sakura, Tomoyo and Kero sweatdropped but didn't show it much...
"Well, maybe you're wrong...Thank you again for this thing!" Sakura said as they went to their room leaving a very confused Meiling...
"How did that happen?I, well...Urghhh...I forgot why I was going to the Kitchen!!!" Meiling said and went to her room...
"How there you, kero-chan!What if they saw you moving!You must think of the consequences before you act!!!If I didn't use magic to reproduce the food you ate, then we're busted!!Remember that we only stay here!It's not my house..." Sakura scolded...
"But you didn't gave me food for two days...I've been hungry, guarding you at night to make sure nothing will happen.." Kero said...Sakura didn't answer but Tomoyo...
"How does they taste?" she said abruptly...Sakura sweatdropped...
"Hmm, yummy!!!"
*=====*=====*
"Tadaima!" Syaoran said as Yamazaki closed the door...
"Okaeri-nasai" Three girls said at the same time as Meiling went out of her room and and gave coffee to Syaoran...
"How about me?" Yamazaki asked, pointing to himself...
"You don't need it." Meiling shot a narrow eyes to him and he just sighed in defeat...Sakura and Tomoyo went out of their room and sit beside the three...
"Where did you go?" Sakura asked Syaoran...
"Just there..." Syaoran simply said...
"Where is that?" Sakura said
"There..." Syaoran again said...Sakura sighed, she knew there's no use asking him that, so she change topic...
"Anyway, it's been three days since we came here...How about showing me the whole town? I've been dying to see..." Sakura said excitedly...
"I just got back..."
"Oh pretty please..." Sakura said...Syaoran sighed and
"Do I have a choice.." Sakura jump up smiling brightly...
"Arigatou, Tomoyo, do you want to come?"
"Sure, I'll be happy to go. Though I saw the whle town before when I search for you..." Tomoyo said and Sakura sweatdropped...
"How about you?" She asked Yamazaki...
"Sure I'll go, Chiharu wants to meet you..." Yamazaki said...
"Meiling-chan, do you want to go?"
"Yeah..." Meiling said
"Then let's go!!!!" Sakura said... And they went around the town, through the parks, the twn center where Tomoyo explained what she did when sakura isn't coming at their planned place and said that she saw very good fabrics in the Mall near the town center...They went in and Tomoyo bought some fabrics...
"What will you do with that?" Yamazaki said...Sakura sweatdropped...
"I think I know..." Sakura blurted out
"Well, I can make dresses with that...for Sakura-chan!!!I'm sure the ones in my mind will surely fit her well!!" Tomoyo said excitedly...
"Hoe....I thought so..." Sakura said...So after the Mall, they went to Chiharu's house...
"Sakura this is Chiharu..." Chiharu shake hands with her...
"So you're Sakura...Konnichi wa...." Chiharu said...
"Konnichi wa..." Sakura said, smiling sweetly...
"I've seen you before, You're the one looking for your friend last night, aren't you?" Chiharu said, she means Tomoyo...
"Hai.." she said with a nod...
"So did you find her?" Chiharu said while Sakura giggles
"Hai...as a matter of fact, she's in front of you..."
"Oh, it's Sakura...small world..."
"So guys, let's find a restaurant now and eat, can we?It's already 7 at night...." Everyone nods...
"Anyway, speaking of restaurants, do you know that restaurants were built when the president made a party for commoners..." Yamazaki said, but Chiharu punch him...
"Quit it already!!!One more lie and we'll break off..." Chiharu crossed her arms on her chest and turn back as Yamazaki plead not to...Syaoran and Meiling shook their head in disbelief while Sakura and Tomoyo giggles on how cute Chiharu and Yamazaki is... They were silent while they eat when Chiharu notice something
"Wow, This pendant's cute!!!" Chiharu said as she touch the pearl wings pendant...Sakura froze, 'Oh no!What if she knew what it is or somebody else will see it?'
"Where did you bought this?" Chiharu said, not taking her eyes off the pendant... "It must be expensive!!" she exclaimed
"Umm, I just got this, inherited it from my ancestors..." Sakura said clutching it,...though she didn't say the magic part...
"Oh, I guess, it can't be buy..." Chiharu said... So they ate quietly until they finish and they went home...
While Tomoyo is blabbing about what she's going to do with the fabrics she got a while ago and Yamazaki was talking about something, Sakura has been thinking how she got the pendant, how it got in their house without her noticing it until she was chosen to be the master or its mistress rather...When they got home, Tomoyo and Yamazaki was tired of talking so they went straight to bed...Sakura went to bed too but didn't sleep, just stare at the ceiling. She is wondering what had happen if she hadn't been chosen... Maybe she will stay at Esmilia for her entire life, won't meet Syaoran, Yamazaki, Meiling, Chiharu and Kero...Though she won't be chased by soldiers, hiding from them or giving away energy to produce a miracle if she didn't got the pendant... As she thinks about those things, she didn't notice she fell asleep...
Sakura opened her eyes, she felt pain all over her body...she tried to stand up but failed...
"Sakura! Daijoubu?" She heard, she look up and saw Syaoran...'He called me Sakura...' she manage to stand up with difficulty...then she realize that he is full of bruises and herself too!
'When did I got this cuts?' She looked around and saw the boy which died on her dream...and it hit her...'I'm on my dream again, but, I'm not watching now...' she turned in front of her...it's Syaoran...
"Syaoran-kun...no! You can't die for me... You must run!Don't sacrifice for me!"
"No!I was sent to protect you with my life!" He said...'Like the scenes on my dream... Wait a minute...sent to protect me with his life?'
"Wow!like a drama!Even if you protect her, boy!She can't survive my power!!!" A beam went towards them and Syaoran turned to her, and protected her by his body...The beam suddenly became slow motion for them...
"No...please don't die like this, Syaoran-kun..." She whispers, 'He can't die for me...' He smiled at her...and the beam hit him, Sakura rolled over and Syaoran dropped to the ground...
She looked at him when she recover from the blow..
"Syaoran-kun...wake up!wake up!You can't die yet!!!" Sakura said, shaking him wildly...
"Hahaha...!!!One down one more to go..."
Sakura stand up her face is all wet... She feel her power is increasing, The evil man can see her aura so clear... and she look up...
"How dare kill him!Baka(Idiot)!!!!" Sakura said... her aura is blasting over...
"Whoa!You still have power even without the pendant huh..." The evil man mock...
"I'll make you pay!For those who you killed for all this nonsense..." Sakura said walking towards him...
"Well, let's see what you got..." He advance at her menacingly...and black out...Sakura got up...her face full of sweat...and she is panting...She looked around and found out she was still in her room with the sleeping Tomoyo, she can hear Kero's snoring, ...She wipe out her sweat and fall back to bed but didn't sleep...She look at her watch and it's only 6 in the morning...
'I wonder what that means, I've been dreaming about that since I went out of Esmilia...maybe it means something, Maybe I can ask Kero about it, or maybe not, I'll only make him worry if it really means something...Oh, I wish that dream shows the future, I can't risks those people dies...I wonder who is that criminal, he knew who I am...and Syaoran, he knew it's me!and he said something like sent to protect me...what's that?' she thought, she's really confuse about it. She decided to get up so she can move easily without waking someone up and dress, ... She carefully get out of the room without waking Tomoyo and Kero but as she get out...
"Stop!" She stops and turned sheepishly to see who said it and saw Kero with his eyes closed...
"I will catch you!Don't run away my sweet pudding...!Here I come..." Kero said as Sakura sweatdropped...She went out of the room and decided to seat on the sofa, her mind is still in her dream,...she heard foot steps and...
"Ohayou, Kinomoto..." She heard, she looked up and saw Syaoran
"Ohayou..." Sakura said and went back to her thinking...Syaoran notice...
"You're not yourself today..." He suddenly said, looking away...
"What?" Sakura said, looking at him
"You're not as cheerful as always..." Syaoran said...
"Daijoubu(I'm fine)...I just had a bad dream..." Sakura confessed...he looked at her...
"It's just a dream, it won't happen..." Syaoran said, Sakura smiled...
"I also wish that, it's too risky if my pendant will turn black..." Syaoran became serious when he heard 'my pendant will turn black...' as Sakura clasped her mouth...'Bad Sakura!How could I just talk about it in front of him...'
"What did you just said?" Syaoran said, urgently...
"N-nothing!!!Forget about it, it's just a dream!!!" Sakura said wondering how she can change the topic... Syaoran didn't force to get the truth...but someday, he want to know about the dream, he dismiss that topic and said...
"Anyway, I'll go out, and meet Yamazaki..."
"Can I come?" Sakura asked...
"Please, I don't have anyone to talk to here yet..." She said...
"Okay..." Syaoran said as Sakura smiled, standing up and followed Syaoran from the door...
As they walk towards where Yamazaki was staying, Sakura's emerald eye caught something...an old woman at the side of the street....
"Can you wait for a minute?" Sakura said as she dig her pocket...She caught a 300 gins(money in Eiden, it's equivalent to yen...) and gave it to the old woman...the old woman looked at her palm and looked at the smiling Sakura...
"Arigatou, sweet child..." she said
"You're welcome..." Sakura said...
"To pay you up, I'll foreseeyou future..." The old woman closed her eyes as Sakura pays attention...
"You shall see the future in your dream...those awaiting for you might be harsh but you'll overcome it...You have great power my child...You possess great treasure..." Sakura looked at her, surprise...
"Anyway, thanks for the prediction,...I'll go now..." Sakura said, smiling but behind the smile she worry about what the old woman said... 'Your future is in your dream,..' if it's true, then her pendant will be stolen... They went to Yamazaki's place in silent...When they reached the place, Sakura and Chiharu talked while Yamazaki and Syaoran talk about something else...
"What is it?"
"We'll meet the man next week okay...?We need informations about where the soldiers search..." Syaoran said...
"Okay..." They kept silent for a while when...
"You seems to be bothered by something...anything wrong?" Yamazaki said...
"Yes, there is, even if it's a dream, it bothers me..."
"What?"
"Kinomoto's having a very very bad dream... she said in her dream the pendant was stolen and turned black..." Yamazaki flinched, surprise...
"I wish that doesn't symbolize anything, that's so bad..." they were interrupted when Chiharu asked them to join them in the table, eating breakfast...After they ate, Syaoran and Sakura walked back home silently... but it broke off when...
"You know, you're very silent ever since I saw you and when you walk to the old woman a while ago...did she said something to you?" Syaoran said, not bothering to look at her...Sakura looked at him...
"Yes, she had...about my dream," he looked at her..." She said, my future lies on my dream which is a very bad dream..." Sakura said, looking down...
"I don't want it to happen...I can't let it happen..." Sakura said shakely, sadness in her voice and a tear drop on the ground as they walk...
"Daijoubu...it's just a prediction, It is possible not to come true...you don't have to worry much..." Syaoran said and Sakura smiled while brushing the tears...
*=====*=====*
7 days later...
"What's the latest thing the governor said about?" Syaoran said to an old man... he came from Walludos, the soldier's town. He owe the Li clan his life so for the payment, he offered to give informations about the searches and everything.
"They plan a search on Sun town and this town. They said that someone informed them that they saw a bright light here. Even if there's still a sun, they saw the bright light clearly..."
"Bright light, they saw it...Even if they didn't feel the earthquake, they saw the light...strange..."
"Strange, but is the pendant already unsealed?" the old man asked...
"I can't tell you that, asked the elders yourself..."
"Anyway, Go to Sun Town and tell the elders your information... detour to Okina but be fast maybe one off this days the soldiers searching Esmilia might cross you and all will be in big trouble..." The old man nodded...
"Thank you for your information, go now, you have a long way to go..." Syaoran said as him and Yamazaki bowed low at him while the old man left...
*=====*=====*
Next day...
Syaoran, Tomoyo, Meiling, Yamazaki, and even Kero are now worrying...Sakura has been depressed for almost a week now...she's not saying any word about what's bothering her and when Syaoran is going to talk to her, she always avoid him...Sakura's dream is getting worse... She saw Meiling, and Yamazaki being killed in order to fight the evil one...She now knows what Kero means when the pearl wings pendant turns to black...One time after Sakura ate,
"I'm going out first..." Sakura said without energy, they look at her as she walk out, one creek of the door and she was out...
"Okay, who knows what happened to her lately..." Meiling demanded, no one answered, even Kero is listening concerned for his mistress...
"I know you know Daidouji-san...You're her bestfriend..." Meiling said...
"She don't want to talk to me, when I speak to her, she always avoid me...and when I wake up in the morning, she's always not there in her bed...In Esmilia, she's always late on everything but ever since we I came here, there was a glint of sadness in her eyes even if her smiles hides everything...But don't worry, I'll have her talk one of this days..." Tomoyo said...
"Syaoran talked to me sometimes, and he sort of said that she's been having a dream..." All of them except Syaoran looked at him then turn to Syaoran...
"Onegai(Please), you know that dream, don't you?I need to know it to help Sakura-chan..." Tomoyo plead as Syaoran sighs...
"She somewhat said something to me, she dreamt of the pendant being controlled by someone evil, and the pendant became black..." Syaoran said...Tomoyo and Meiling gasped including Kero...
"That dream isn't ordinary, to dream about the pendant being black is a very bad omen..." Kero said....
"It must be very bad...." Tomoyo said, in her mind, she wonders why she is avoiding us...
"Yeah...." Meiling said slowly, somehow worry to the girl...
*=====*=====*
Sakura sighed...it been days since she got that dream....she doesn't understand why her pendant's been stolen or like that...all she knew is that many died because of that pendant and she won't allow it to happen...she continue to walk until, bump...
"Hoeee...."
"Daijoubu desu ka?" A young man said...Sakura looked up...a blue eyed young man which seemed to be in her age...
"Yeah..." Sakura said slowly... "Did we... met before?" Sakura asked and the lad stared at her
"Oh, nevermind, I'm Sakura Kinomoto by the way..." Sakura said...
"And I'm Gien uh umm...Just call me Gien..." she ignores it...
"Okay Gien, I have to go now..."
"W-wait, do you know where I can stay?"
"Umm, I don't know...maybe I can ask Meiling if you can live with us..." Gien smiled and followed Sakura...
"Where's your town by the way?"
"In uhh Dalis..." Gien stammered...
"Hoee, you're far you know... How did you got here..."
"I don't know, last thing in my mind is to get away from my father..."
"Why?"
"I don't like his idea about this world..." Gien said, they stayed silent until they got home, when Sakura came home, Gien stayed outside first until Sakura tell him to come in...
"Meiling, is it alright if Gien stayed here?" Sakura said....
"I don't know, you don't know him much...you just met him in the streets and now you already trust him?" Meiling said in disbelief...
"Don't sue her, she's Sakura...trusting everything... knowing no one is evil..." Tomoyo said but something in that sentence remind Sakura of her dream, her depression came back... Meiling maybe noticed it and sighed...
"Yes, okay...he can come in..." Meiling said...Sakura managed to smile...
"Arigatou, Meiling-chan...." and they let Gien come in....
*=====*=====*
"I know you're hiding something from me..." Tomoyo said...Sakura didn't answer.....
"The fact that, you're avoiding us and the glint of sadness I see in your eyes......It's about your dream, isn't it?" Tomoyo said softly...one minute later, she heard sobbing...
"Shhh..." Tomoyo sooths her, she sit up and embraced Sakura...
"It's so bad...I- I don't like my dream,..." Sakura started...
"What is it about,..."
"The pendant... it was stolen from me...it turned black..." Sakura said not making whole sentence finished though...
"Then it destroys... all this became ruins... and people, dies...and my friends..." Sakura said, snuggling on Tomoyo's chest...
"Shh...what happened to us?" Tomoyo said...
"Evil man... destroys...I don't want it... He destroys, killing my friends,... one by one...." Sakura said, as if she's been holding back since she got the dream...
"Don't worry, it won't hurt you...I'm still here, am I?I won't leave my Sakura..." Tomoyo said...Sakura didn't stop crying but somehow, Tomoyo felt she is much relax than this days ago...What they didn't know is that Kero and Syaoran heard it all...at the same time, both thought the same...
""That dream isn't ordinary...""
*=====*=====*
"Thanks for last night, Tomoyo...I feel much better now..." Sakura said, smiling sweetly at her bestfriend as they walk towards the dining room...Now that Sakura is somehow back to her old self, Syaoran has other worries...
"What's wrong, Syaoran-kun?" Sakura said...
"Nothing..."
"No, it's not 'nothing'...You can tell me...I bet they also want to know..." Sakura said pointing at the rest...(Oh yeah, Gien still sleeping...)Syaoran sighed and said the truth...
"They plan to search to new places like Sun town..." Syaoran said...Meiling gasped...
"Our hometown...." Syaoran said and Sakura and Tomoyo gasp too
"You said 'places', what's the other town?" Tomoyo said, dreading 'it's not this place
"Sirca town, this town..."
"Hoe?" Sakura said, 'Oh no!', "Why this place?" she added...
"They said they saw bright light coming from here three days ago, the time Meiling got safely on ground...No one knows how but they said at that time, they saw light even if there's a sun..." Syaoran said, he lied on the part 'No one knows how', he himself know who it is...
Sakura sighed in relief that no one knows who did it, but got scared when someone saw the light of the pendant, that's a bad omen...
"Anyway, They said, the soldiers are on their way here now, probably reach this place fifteen days from now...and after this town they'll go to Sun town and You all know that Sun town is where magic lies and like that so they think it's in there..." Syaoran said...
"Yeah, where the magical Li clan lives...." Yamazaki slipped it out as Syaoran and Meiling glared at him...
"Magical Li clan?" Tomoyo repeated....
