CHAPTER SIX:
***From the previous chapter***
The Cherry Blossom tree shown brightly and Sakura came out. Or rather, she fell out. Yue dashed out and caught his mistress. Cerberus hovered like a mother bear and Tomoyo cried out in worry. Sakura was limp in the moon guardian's hold. The three looked into Sakura's eyes before they closed with sorrow. What they saw placed fear in their hearts.
Sakura's eyes were dull and empty orbs. They contained no life. They contained no will to live. "Oh, Sakura. What did you see?" Tomoyo whispered.
***Now. the chapter six you've all been waiting for***
The three managed to take Sakura back into the Tomoyo mansion. Tomoyo wanted to be there and take care of Sakura. Kero and Yue agreed mutely. None of them felt like talking much. they all didn't want to face the truth and reality.
Tomoyo's mother greeted them at the door but her face was pale and worried once she saw Sakura in Yukito's arms. (A/N: Yukito and Yue understand and know the presence of each other. They can act through each other.)
"Sakura! Is she alright?" Tomoyo nodded silently towards her mother.
"I'll call Mr. Kinomoto later. Sakura'll be staying in my room for a while." The daughter answered, her voice calm and flat. Her mother's eyes filled with worry. She gave her daughter a tight hug and demanded a servant to help.
Yukito placed Sakura in Tomoyo's bed. Tomoyo nodded her thanks and pulled a chair next to the bed and sat there, her hand softly smoothing Sakura's hair from time to time. Kero watched worried, hovering around the two until Yukito pulled him over. The two guardians met in a room connected to bedroom. There, Yukito transformed back to Yue.
"What do you think she saw?" Kero asked demandingly. Yue shook his head slightly. He knew the sun guardian always acted harsh when he was worried.
"That we do not know, Cerberus. We must wait beside Sakura until she awakes. Only she can tell us what she saw." He stated calmly.
"How can you be so calm, Yue? It's Sakura's who hurt! Not some baka idiot!" Kero cried. "Can't we not use the return card and let us see what Sakura has seen?" there was no point in asking. It has a clear answer and they both knew it. There was nothing they could do right now.
Kero flew around constantly, watching over Sakura with Tomoyo, talking to Yukito, and eating. He was so worried about his friend, he couldn't stand just sitting and doing nothing.
"Yue!" He called later. "Eriol that kid, with the blue hair, the Clow's descendant. He can help with something, can't he?"
"Maybe. We can't expect too much. He can't change the past no more than our mistress can, but it is something to do, Cerberus." Yue replied steadily. "Daidouji, will you be okay with Sakura alone? Cerberus and I have decided to fine Clow Reed."
Tomoyo turned from her perch next to Sakura's bed. "I should be fine. Go quickly." Yue and Kero nodded and retreated from the room out the window. Tomoyo watched briefly as they flew out before she turned her attention back to Sakura again.
The telephone rang shrilly, breaking the stone silence. Tomoyo woke sleepily and picked up the phone.
"Moshi, moshi?" She asked quietly.
"Tomoyo! Oh my god, you will not believe what happened!" Meiling shouted through the phone.
"Meiling? Could you be quieter? Sakura's sleeping."
"Gomen. How is she?" Meiling asked worried, forgetting her current anger towards her "cousin."
"Oh Meiling. She used return and went back to the past. When she came back, the life was out in her eyes. She's still sleeping right now and Kero and Yukito went to find Eriol. I'm so worried, Meiling." Tomoyo confessed, her eyes watering.
"I never would of dreamed of her doing that," Meiling said in awe. "I can imagine what she saw."
"How?"
"Xiao Lang. He's definitely changed. We fought like chickens when we met when I noticed he truly doesn't remember Sakura. And, and.. He has a girlfriend Tomoyo." Meiling's voice was dull and sad, matching her friend's.
"A girlfriend? Damn Li! How can he get someone else when he loves Sakura!" Tomoyo voiced angrily.
"I have no idea. He and his girlfriend, Kali he calls her, are at the amusement park having fun while I boil over with anger and worry." Meiling said sarcastically.
"Wait till I get my hands on Li and that whore." Tomoyo replied. Usually mild tempered and kind, Tomoyo was raging with anger that those who caused grief and pain for her dearest friend.
"You'll probably have to pry my hands off the bitch's neck before you did." Meiling answered bitterly, her hands clutched in fists.
"Yeah, well at least she'll be dead then." She said. "Have you gotten anything else? From Syaoran's mother, sisters, Wei?"
"Aunt Yelan won't talk into details about it. His sisters are in overcome with grief that they can't meet the card mistress. And Wei is the only one who actually tries to answer my questions. Kali Jiang should be the girl that Syaoran saved that day of the accident. The next day, Syaoran and Jiang had their first date. Things progressed from there quite fast." Meiling answered.
A pause of thought drifted between the two.
"Tomoyo, Syaoran seemed to have changed. When I talked to him, it was as if I was talking to another. He's usually not that fast paced with ladies.. And if he had any memory of Sakura, he wouldn't dare go out, especially a day after the accident."
"True. Things are out of order, Meiling. I mean, think about it. How could Syaoran get into a car accident and not get hurt except for that portion of this memory?" Tomoyo said through deep thought.
Meanwhile at Eriol's house, the guardians and Eriol were thinking of the exact same thing. Though apparently the two had come for help, the three were just as stuck as the other.
"Hiiragizawa, are you sure there is no way we can see what Sakura saw using return?" Kero asked for the nth time. Eriol shook his dark blue hair.
"Iie. This is a test, much like those card-capturing days. This is a test of Sakura's strength and faith. All we can do is help and believe in her along the way."
"How can you say such things? I can't stand sitting there while Sakura's hurt and lifeless!" Kero roared. Eriol just listened calmly.
"Kero, I understand every feeling you're feeling because it's the same as every one of us who is worried about Sakura. We have to believe in her," Eriol answered with every wisdom that he had. Yue nodded in agreement. Kero looked from Eriol's face to Yue's and nodded in consent.
"Fine. I'm going back to Sakura." With that, he flew off back to Tomoyo's mansion. When he flew back, Tomoyo had just gotten off the phone.
"Who called?" he asked.
"Oh, you're back Kero. Meiling just called and she told me about the things that happened after the accident. We have an idea of what Sakura saw." She replied monotone.
"What?" Kero demanded.
"It seems like Li has a new girlfriend." She whispered, running fingers through Sakura's hair. "That is what she saw." Tears coursed down her cheeks and rolled down Sakura's cheek.
"Damn him! I knew I couldn't trust that gaki!" Kero roared.
Time ticked along slowly and the every second seem to echo in the room seemed to shout. The two friends waited patiently. Tomoyo only got out of the chair when Eriol called and comforted her. She cried again. It hurt Kero to see her cry. It hurt him that he couldn't do anything but wait. It hurt him that his mistress was hurt and he had not done his duty.
***In Sakura's mind***
I was falling, down, down down. Darkness surrounded me and I knew nothing around me. Who was there to catch me? Why do I feel so cold? Then I remembered. the scenes of Syaoran and his new girlfriend. Tears overflowed and they fell; they fell into darkness and disappeared from the face of the earth. like me I realized. He didn't love me anymore and it hurt me to think of the truth. Who was I fooling all these years of love? It wasn't love. He was simply.. Playing along with me, like Yukito.. In his heart he loved another. It seemed so real that my affections were returned. they felt so real. Had it really been all my imagination?
It's so cold. Where is everyone? Where am I? Tomoyo must be worried.. But I'm so afraid. so heartbroken. I can't bear to live without him. How can I have the strength to face life? Life's so hard.. So painful. So many things I don't want to know. I should have listened to Tomoyo and Kero.. Things should be left the way they are. Regret. Pain. Sorrow. Anger. Pity. Confusion. They swirled in my mind.
The last thing I thought about was who was there to catch me when I fall? In the distance I heard someone, someone familiar call my name.. Syaoran? My heart leapt for joy but broke again. No, he was in love with someone else.Darkness filled me.
***Third person***
Tomoyo shook her friend to wake. "Sakura. Sakura, are you okay?" Sakura opened her eyes and looked around dully.
"Sakura! You're awake! Are you okay?" Tomoyo asked quickly. Sakura turned her attention and looked around.
"Sakura?" Sakura turned her attention back to Tomoyo. Tomoyo almost pulled back surprised as she stared into dark eyes. No emotion. No happiness. No life contained in the dark orbs.
"Tomoyo. he doesn't love me." She managed to whisper. "My heart's breaking." Tears ran out from the dark orbs. Tomoyo hugged her friend tightly, tears running down her cheeks as well.
"Fight Sakura. Please. Live." She begged, hugging her friend hard. Sakura's eyes were just empty and her reflection in the mirror didn't shock her. She found herself not caring...
Syaoran.
***In Hong Kong***
Syaoran bolted upright from his bed. He had heard someone call his name. Someone. He looked around. He was in his room. It was two o'clock in the morning. no one would be awake right now. Had it been his imagination?
He yawned, but he couldn't fall back to sleep. Meiling was still angry with him and refused to partake anything that dealt with him. And. she called him by their surname.. Li. That hurt the most. What had he done wrong?
He felt his eyelids grow heavy. He last thing he saw before the fell back into sleep was the old battered blue handkerchief Meiling had given him.
So confused..
