Chapter 5
Tomoyo and Kero hurried back to Sakura's house. "Hoeee?" was the reply they got from her when they started explaining things a little.
"It's worth the try Sakura. Just ask the Love card for Syaoran to remember you." Said Kero enthusiastic. Sakura still looked at him puzzled then at the card. * So that would be why he came back. And that would explain the 'vision' I had. *
"Demo, he... he doesn't love me. What's the point then." They both looked at Sakura. "What? You think he doesn't love you? Damn, he actually casted a spell upon himself to forget about you for you were the only thing he could think about." Sakura looked at Tomoyo puzzled. "Hoe?" * I guess I don't have anything to loose. * she thought as she took out her card. She held it close to her heart. "Please, I wish Syaoran would remember me!" she whispered.
The card glowed and took the shape of a young girl in front of her. The young girl was 11 years old Sakura. Sakura looked in shock at the card. "I am sorry mistress but I cannot comply to your request. You hold the answer to this within yourself. Even magic can't do anything against the spell Syaoran casted." She then went back into the card into Sakura's hands. But Tomoyo and Kero looked at Sakura who had her head down. They saw tears running down her cheeks. They wanted to comfort her yet they knew they should just leave her alone. Kero decided to go with Tomoyo.
Sakura collapsed on her bed and cried for hours. * Even my own cards won't let me be happy again. There is no point anymore. * she thought sinking even more in her bed until she fell asleep.
Kero just looked at Tomoyo. "I have a bad feeling about all of this. I don't understand why she holds the answer within herself. I guess that was part of Syaoran spell. She is the only one who can break it but how?" The phone rang as he finished is sentence.
"Hello?"
"Tomoyo this is Meiling."
"Have you found out anything?" she asked nervously.
"Yes, only Sakura can break the spell."
"We sort of had figured this out a few minutes ago." She replied looking down.
"But, I know how she can break it!" replied Meiling.
"How?" Tomoyo asked with her eyes full of hope again.
"Well..."
Meanwhile, Sakura had left her house and was at the Tsukimine Shrine. She was sitting by the tree looking at the stars. "Why did you come back if you did not love me Syaoran?" she whispered. "I loved you, and I still do, why do you want to hurt me so much?" she said as she let out a few tears. She took out her cards and started browsing through it until she came up with the Erase card.
"She's not in her room anymore!"
"Do you have any idea where she could have gone to Kero?" asked a worried Tomoyo.
"To that place again I guess.. she's been going there for the last 7 years."
They started heading to the Tsukimine Shrine but on the way, they bumped into Syaoran.
"Where are you guys running to?" he asked sort of surprised about not being alone outside at this time of the day.
"To find Sakura and tell her there might be a way for you to remember her." Said Tomoyo while catching her breath..
At the same time at the Tsukimine Shrine.
"Erase card take your true form!"
The card formed in front of Sakura waiting for her to speak.
"Erase every memory I have of Syaoran for I will never love anyone but him and I can't live knowing he does not love me."
The Erase card hesitated then started taking Sakura's memories of Syaoran away.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! SAKURAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
She turned around to see Syaoran running toward her but it was to late. A dark light encircled her as Syaoran got beside her. "Why did you do that?" he asked still not believing that she would do something like that just because of him. "Because I love you.." she whispered letting the Erase card take her last memories. She fainted on the ground. As soon as she fainted a white light surrounded Syaoran to the surprise of Tomoyo and Kero who had just gotten beside the two of them.
"What is that?" asked Tomoyo to a confused Kero.
"We'll find out soon." he simply replied watching the scene with awe.
Syaoran was lifted in the air then the light burst out in a big bright flash forcing Tomoyo and Kero to look away. It glowed for a few seconds after while he was dropped back on the ground. He lifted his head to see Tomoyo and Kero.
"What? What happened? How did I end up here?"
Tomoyo and Kero looked at each other confused then they glanced at Sakura who was a little behind Syaoran. He caught their glances and looked behind him to see Sakura asleep behind him.
"SAKURA!!!!!!" he rushed by her side kneeling and taking her hand. "What happened to you? Sakura? Answer me please."
She stirred a little and he picked her upper body in his arm and rested her against his body.
"What happened to her? Did she get hurt or anything?" he asked looking at Tomoyo and Kero who were totally speechless.
"Hum.. Li? Are you ok? I mean.. first you don't remember Sakura, then you are surrounded by a bright light, then all of the sudden you are worried about her, what's up with you?" asked Tomoyo really worried.
Syaoran looked down trying to gather his thoughts. "That's it! She loves me!" he said lifting his head up to look at her. He smiled and held her closer.
"Yes we already know that but why are you suddenly happy about it? You didn't even remember her a few days ago?" she asked getting even more mixed up.
"She broke the spell" he whispered loud enough to be heard as tears formed in his eyes. "But, why is she unconscious? This shouldn't have happened?" he asked worried.
"Okay! Now I am really mixed up by all of this!" said Kero trying to figure it all. Syaoran decided to enlighten the situation or at least what he knew about it.
"Well, some time ago I casted a spell on myself" he started looking down as if not really proud of him.
"Yeah we know that part!" interrupted Kero. "Why did you say that she broke the spell? How was she to know how to break the spell and why did her asking Erase to forget about you was suppose to break the spell?" asked a pissed off Kero.
Syaoran looked up abruptly at Kero "She did what?"
"She asked Erase to suppress every memory she had of you. You ran after her pleading not to do so, she turned around and told you something, then she blacked out and you were surrounded by this bright light and then well, you know the rest." Said Tomoyo looking sadly at Syaoran.
"I don't understand! The only way to break the spell was if she told me that she loved me, no one else could but her. That means she must have told me before she forgot it all." He looked at her. * Why did you try to do something as stupid as I did. How could I ever put you through that? I am so sorry Sakura. So so sorry. * tears strolled down his cheeks as he thought about this then he whispered "I love you too.. Sakura." A bright light emerge surrounding both Sakura and Syaoran. He looked at the girl who took form before him, it was Sakura's love card. "Everything will be alright, don't worry." She smiled then a man appeared next to her. The young Sakura then change into the now grown Sakura and they returned to their card form. It landed in his hand and he looked at it. It wasn't a Sakura card anymore. The star on the back of the card was surrounded by a full moon and it was signed "Sakura - Syaoran" as if he had completed the other half of the card. She stirred a little in his arms and opened her eyes. "Wh.. what happened?" she asked still seeing blurry. "It's okay Sakura." She opened her eyes a bit more now seeing Syaoran's face completely. "I love you too" he continued smiling.
As she was about to say something he closed the distance between them and kissed her passionately.
I know! It sucks! I guess I was just tired writing this story so I'm moving on to another one. Feedbacks are always welcome. Thanks for taking the time for reading it!
