Author's Note: I do NOT own Cardcaptors *wipes away a tear* but I wish I
did. The only characters I own in this story are Pete and Ken so far. This
storyline also belongs to me as I made it up. Please don't sue as I don't
have anything valuable that you would want anyway.
The Bottom Of A Crystal Heart
Chapter 7
When Sakura arrived at the hospital she was directed to her father's room by the receptionist. When she finally found the right room she found her father sitting up reading a book. She saw that it was a book on archeology and she had to smile. He never did stop thinking about his work.
"Dad! You're alright! You had me worried," she exclaimed as she gave her father a hug, "Didn't I tell you to look after yourself? I'm going to have to kill Kero for this."
"Hey Sakura. It's not Kero's fault that I had a heart attack. Actually, he was quite useful. I told him to go to your place to stay until I can get out of here," Fujitaka put his book down after seeing that it was his daughter.
"Yeah, I know. I ran into him on my way here. And when I say ran into him, I mean that I literally ran into him. Anyway, what happened, are you okay?"
"I'm fine Sakura. I don't really know what happened other than I was under a lot of stress to correct exams on time. I hope that I haven't caused trouble. I don't want your brother racing over here to see if I'm okay," Fujitaka sighed; he didn't like intruding into his children's lives like he was now, "he's got Melissa now and he's teaching."
"I think it's a bit late to hope that Dad. Touya's already on his way here. Or at least I think he is. He said that he would be here as soon as he could get a flight," Sakura reached over and grabbed his hand, "and besides, you are just as important as Melissa and Kaho and his class. Anyway, the school that he teaches at has their holidays now."
"Oh well, I guessed he would come. Anyway, I hope I didn't pull you out of anything important."
"No, Tomoyo and I were visiting Tak and Chiharu. Dad, do you remember anyone by the name of Syaoran Li or Eriol Hiiragizawa?" Sakura wanted to know how many people remembered them. She certainly didn't, though Syaoran had looked familiar. She didn't really know if she knew him as she couldn't think when she was around him; her heart was beating too loudly and too fast.
"Eriol and Syaoran? Yes, I remember them, they used to be your best friends along with Tomoyo, but then Eriol had to move back to England and Syaoran moved back to Hong Kong. Why do you ask?" Fujitaka was confused at her question. She had sounded confused and he didn't like that.
"Well, everyone seems to remember them except for Tomoyo and I. They don't remember being friends with us either, and yet everyone was telling us how close we used to be. It doesn't make any sense!" Sakura was surprised that her father had known the two boys and remembered them.
"That's strange; I know that you wouldn't usually forget people who were your close friends. I remember that Touya used to hate Syaoran because he could see that the poor boy cared about you. In fact, I believed that Syaoran loved you and you obviously loved him. It was funny because at first Touya tried to make sure that you never talked to the boy, but then he gave up when he saw how determined you were to talk to him. Touya didn't like Eriol that much either, but that was just because he could sense an aura around him that suggested mischief, and he was right. He made up with Eriol, but he never did make up with Syaoran."
"How could I have forgotten that? I mean, you say that I obviously loved Syaoran, so how could I have forgotten him? They're back in town now; they go to our school and apparently they don't remember us either. It's like someone has cast a spell on us or something. Anyway." Sakura changed the topic and she and her father started to converse about other things.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"I'm still confused about how we could have forgotten the girls if we were best friends with them," Syaoran was trying to connect all the things that they had learnt about the past but he wasn't getting very far. They were back in their room after their visit to Tak and they were trying to remember the girls.
"There could be many reasons I guess. We could have never wanted to see them again when we left and were so upset that we vowed to forget them and so we did, but that is unlikely as the memories would return when we saw them again," Eriol was thinking about the ways that they could possibly forget, "or we could have all banged our heads and received selective amnesia. That probably is not the reason, but it could happen. The most likely thing to have happened would be that someone cast a spell on all of us that made us forget each other. That is likely as that is basically the only thing that could have happened in the circumstances. It could be the other reasons that I described, but the chances of those are really bad as it would have a very small probability of happening."
"My main question though is why? Why would someone put a spell on us to make us forget each other when we would probably get to know each other now? It doesn't make sense," Syaoran complained as he sat up on his bed, "Why would someone do that?"
"Maybe they thought that we would never come back and if they made the girls forget us, they could do something to them. If Sakura or Tomoyo was in trouble and it involved magic, they would usually call us right? If they had forgotten us and they got into trouble which involved magic, they wouldn't call us so that means that we wouldn't be able to help them," Eriol suddenly realized that this was probably the reason which they had all forgotten each other, "and so they could do anything to the girls, or they could steal the cards or something! Wait a minute, how did I know that Sakura had the cards?" Eriol was confused. Why did he remember that when he couldn't remember anything else?
"That's funny, I even remember helping Sakura to catch one of the cards. My memories are coming back! Maybe they are coming back because we realized what was wrong! It must have been a spell and we broke it because we realized that it was there or something," Syaoran could now remember everything about his time in Tomoeda, and everything about Sakura. He blushed as his memories came back of the times when Sakura collapsed on him and he hoped that Eriol wasn't watching him. Eriol was getting his memories back as well and he smiled at the memories of hiding in bushes with Tomoyo while they taped Sakura and Syaoran. They were both silent for a while, each with their own thoughts.
"I think we had better tell the girls about this. I think that they won't get their memories back until they know about the spell and why it was put on," Eriol finally said and they decided that they would tell them at school the next day as it was pretty late at the time.
