I Just Want You To Know Who I Am By: XiaoBai
Chapter 7: A Question to Eriol and Spinel's Discovery 02

SPINEL

Oh darn.
" Suppi? Are you there?" Came an idiotic voice over the phone.
Oh darn.
" Hello?! As I was saying, Yue and I had no luck here! What about you gu-" I shoved the phone once more away from my delicate ears to protect them from that orange stuff toy's yelling.
I sighed. " Nope. Master came back home too early..."
Silence.
" So.....what shall we do then?" Kero asked slowly.
I was silence for a minute, and then I shoved the phone over to Nakuru, who was listening silently.
Nakuru grabbed the phone and yelled her greetings to Kero, then she said, " Ne, Kero-chan, I think we have not check one or two books in Master's study yet......I'll check them tonight then."
Suddenly I got an idea. I started fidgeting around and did a little jig (It is a terrible habit of mine). Nakuru noticed me and sniggered a bit.
I struggled a little to get the words out of my mouth, " I-I...I have....a...Ihaveawonderfulidea!!!!!"
Nakuru raised an eyebrow. I gulped down a mouthful of air, and then manage to get the words out properly, " I have a wonderful idea!!!!"

ERIOL

" Ewiol-sama!"
I stopped my conversation with my cute descendant and turned around-
-Only to face the big smiley face of Spinel.
I arched and eyebrow and looked at Syaoran apologetically. Spinel, who is apparently in a hyper mode, giggled and then looked at me, big-eyed.
" Ewiol-sama, I wanna wask yow a qwestion." Spinel purred, very innocent and very cute. It's probably Nakuru and her sweets again.
I smiled gently at him while my cute descendant stared at Spinel unbelievingly, " Nani, Spinel?"
Spinel giggled again and perched on my lap. " Which Chiwese spewl ware yow two tawlking abowt?"
I looked amusedly at my cute descendant and asked, " Wanna tell him?"
My cute descendant shrugged and said, " It's all right, I suppose. He's drunk, so he won't remember anything we said."
I nodded and smiled at my midnight blue little guardian, " Well, Spinel, since you are interested, I'll tell you about it. It's the Ji Yi Hui Fa Shu (A.N: That's in Chinese.). It's also known as Memory Retrieving Skill. This spell can regain someone's memory in a safe way for the user."
Spinel looked bright-eyed at us, and then said, " Bwut.... That would onwy twake effwect onw Muggles......"
" Non-magic people?" My cute descendant muttered. I nodded and then turned to Spinel, " Well, there is another spell, Spinel. But it is dangerous."
" Tewl mwe abowt wit."
" Hmm.......This spell, which is known as the Sacrificial Magic Skill, enable anyone to regain their memories. Even the Card Mistress, Spinel. But it does have its consequences. The user of this spell have to use it on some one else......and he or she must sacrifice one thing."
" And that is his or her life. The spell needs the user's life in order to regain someone's memory." Syaoran continued.
Spinel looked at me with bright eyes, then he looked at Syaoran and then said, " Bwut.....won't thwat bwe tewible?"
Syaoran looked at Spinel, taken aback. I stared at Spinel who suddenly giggled and yell something about Nakuru, Keroberos and sweets, then flew out of the room.
Syaoran stared at me, " I still want to use that spell, Eriol. Nothing now will change my mind."
I looked gravely at him.
" Guess I had no choice after all." I said.
" Demo," Syaoran suddenly said, " How did Spinel know that we are using that spell on a sorceress?"
I stopped and slowly turn to stare at the door. There is something going on with Nakuru and Spinel.......
--
SPINEL
--
I can't believe that my plan worked.
As I flew out of Master's study, Nakuru looked hopefully at me for success of my plan. I gave her the thumbs up, and she gave me a tight hug, which almost suffocates me.
After managing to escape from Nakuru, all my hopes began to waver. That Sacrificial Magic Skill that Master was talking about might be the one Li is going to use on the Card Mistress.
As I stared at Nakuru happily calling Kero and Yue over for another meeting, I can't help sighing.
Wait till they know the bad news.

SPINEL

" NANI???!!!!!!"
Oh darn.
" Keroberos, will you mind lowering down your voice? You know, at this rate you'll probably wake the whole of Tomoeda." Yue advised.
Kero and Yue came to our house right after we called them. We were in my room (Yue can't stand the pinkness of Nakuru's room) discussing what we had discovered today due to my ingenious (Kero said it was very ridiculous and probably wouldn't work) plan.
I nodded and continued, " Well, as we had know, the Memory Retrieval Spell can only be used on non-magical people. Therefore, Li-san wouldn't used it on the Card Mistress as it will had no effect."
Nakuru nodded and said, " So, our guess is that Li-kun wanted to use the Sacrificial Magic Skill to bring back Sakura-chan's memories. That is the most likely spell he would use."
" But," Kero reasoned, " Sacrificial Skill can only be used by people who had quite a high magic level. And from what I know about that gaki, his level isn't very high."
I sighed, " That's why he will enlist the help from our Master. And it seems to me that Master **is** going to help."
Yue looked around, " So....what are we going to do? We know what spell Li- san is going to use. We know how is he going to do it. We know why-"
" No." Nakuru cut in, " We don't know why Li-kun wanted to use it."
" What do you mean by that?" Kero said, his eyes narrowing.
Nakuru take a few breaths and said, " Don't you see it? Even when Sakura- chan got back her memories, Li-kun wouldn't know! He will be dead by then! So what is the use of getting back that memory of Li-kun when he is going to die trying?!"
I frowned, " I heard Master saying this to Li-san. And he said that he just wanted Sakura-sama to know that Li-kun is the man she loved......"
Kero burst, " Hey! That **is** plain selfish!!"
Yue had this despair look on his face, " But I guess it must be painful for Li-san. To love someone who once loved you......Li-san must had spent many days having the desire to love Sakura-sama......You know, that kind of desire is had to control."
We fell silent for many minutes. Yue must had experience that feeling before when Clow was alive. I heard from Kero once when he was totally drunk after eating those wine cookies Master baked for us. He told me that Yue sometimes was so upset that he takes it out on Kero.
Suddenly, the door opened.
" Keroberos? Yue? What are you doing here so late in the night?"
We froze
Great. We woke our Master up.
Kero forced a laugh and said, " We were.....uh....having a campfire!"
I almost fell over when Keroberos came out with that lame excuse. I looked at Master. Hm. He doesn't look convinced.
" Well, if you are having a campfire, why isn't there any fire?" Master inquired, his eyebrows raised.
We looked uneasily at each other and I managed to sprout, " Uh. There is an imaginary campfire, Master. You see, we are trying to increase our imagining skills."
Yep. A lame excuse indeed. I received glares from Yue, Keroberos and Nakuru. I shrugged lightly.
Master was still suspicious. He was looking at us with that I-think-I-know- what-you-guys-are-doing look. He closed his eyes, smiled and stepped into the room and sat down beside me.
" Spinel, I must say that your lying skills are terrible. So are yours, Keroberos." He said, smiling.
Kero and I flushed, while Nakuru sniggered. Then Master said, " So what are you going to do about Syaoran?"
I felt my eyes widened to the size of saucepans. Master chuckled and continued, " Oh please. You think you ingenious all-time powerful Master had no idea what you guys are doing? Well, ** I ** don't think so."
I looked at Nakuru. It was obvious that she was in shock. Her mouth was almost touching the ground. I sighed.
" Master, I had no idea what you are talking about." I muttered, trying to protect the secret till the last minute.
Master laughed, " Spinel, it is no use to hid the truth from me. I know what you guys are doing, Spinel. I know why Nakuru had put you in that book castle that day. It was your idea, was it not?"
I frowned. " Damn." I cursed, and then I sighed. " Guess we'll have to reveal it to you then......"
We told Master all about our discoveries, our predictions and assumptions and what we think of Li-san. Master told me the real reason why Li-san wanted to use the spell.
"I can't..share my love with Sakura, but instead, watch her as she says " Syaoran-kun is my best friend" and "I am Syaoran-kun's best friend" . I can't do anything about it. I can't just reverse time and get that card before it removes her memory. I am totally helpless Eriol. Helpless. You know, **helpless**? As in being vulnerable and weak and totally useless. And you know what Eriol? It hurts to be helpless like that. It hurts a lot. And that thought makes me cry."
That is what Li-san told Master that day I heard them. And I know that this means a lot to Li-san because he wouldn't cry very often. In fact, it was even rare that he even thought about almost crying. We were silent for a long time. No one had anything to say. We were totally speechless. Finally, Nakuru whispered.
" So. What is he going to do?" She whispered gently. Master eyed her and his expression softened.
" He is going to do it, Nakuru. He said he is going to do it after he finish the letter for his....." Master stopped. He looked very pained. " He......he is going to do it after finishing the letter for his family."
I felt a wave of anger coursing through me. " Why must he do this?" I said, softly at first but getting louder. Everyone turned their heads and stared at me. I glared at the floor.
" Why must he be so selfish?! If he die, many people will be sad! There is his family, his friends, Sakura....I...I-" I felt my voice faltering. I lowered my head, embarrassed by my sudden outburst and muttered apologies.
" You are right, Spinel." Master said. I looked up at him. He was looking very grim. " Syaoran shouldn't be doing this...."
" Are you going to stop him?" Yue asked. Master shook his head. Then he smiled that smile of his that means that something is going to happen soon.
" No. We let him do it. But....We'll do something that can save Syaoran and bring back Sakura-chan's memories." He said now smiling from ear to ear.
Kero looked completely confuse, " How are we going to do it?"
Master just smile, " You'll see, Keroberos. You'll see."
