Chapter 17
That night we camped on a hilltop. Eriol and Syaoran went to scouting, which none of us girls approved of. Part of which was we'd be left alone with Cobra. Boa had a rope around his neck and the other end tied to a tree and we (the girls) sat out of his reach. So that kind of made us feel a little better.
I was listening to the conversation the girls were having but other things started popping into my mind. Like how I would avenge Kero's death and my new abilities to sense things and fight. Avenging Kero yes, I could understand why I want to do that and why I'm going to do that. Yet.the other two things that's happened to me.I don't know how that happened.
I shifted my sword, which I've come to love to death, and climbed up a huge rock that we were using to lean back on. I looked up at the moon and couldn't help but wonder what my life would be like if I had never met these people that I now would love to call my family. Would I still be the simple girl I was before? Would Kero be here by my side?
The thought of Kero made me want to cry. I missed him so bad. Kero.my best friend and brother that I wouldn't give up for the world was just taken away cause of me. It's all my fault that he's dead. I should have known from when I first heard the news. It's my fault. If I wasn't who I was then he would still be alive.
I wiped away a tear that managed to spill over my eye. Maybe I'm just a curse. I just cause pain to all of those around me, that's probably why I didn't have any friends before the gang came. Then most of them died before I got to know them and-
"Sakura?" I heard Cobra call from the other side.
"Just ignore him Sakura, he'll get over it," Boa said returning back to her conversation to Tomoyo and Melin.
I rolled my eyes. "What is it Cobra?"
"Could I talk to you? It's kind of personal." he sounded like he wasn't quiet sure he trusted himself.
"Sure." I said, uneasy myself, as I slid down the rock's side. Carefully I walked over to him, and for just incase I sat out of arms reach from him. "What is it?"
"Sakura, there's something about Boa." Cobra said shaking his head sadly.
"What about her? Is she evil?" I asked getting unnerved. I knew that girl was evil!
"No, it's not like that," he said playing with his hands. Oh.oops. I guess she's not evil. "It's just that she makes me feel.not like myself."
"How? I mean how do you feel not like your self?" I asked curiously.
"I feel, like I'm free, happy, and like I'm flying when ever I'm around her. I feel like I can't live without hearing her voice, even though she always yells and insults me all the time. Even when she hits me, I feel like I'm in heaven." Cobra ran his fingers through his hair. I could tell he was really stressed out, it was practically written all over his face!
"Oooh Cobra," I said smiling down at him. "It sounds to me that."
"That what?" Cobra asked interrupting me before I could continue.
"That you're in LOVE," I said stressing the word. He looked into my eyes, his were moist with unshed tears. It actually melted my heart to see him in this state. He looks so innocent and it's just so cute!
"I've never fallen in love before," Cobra said in awe. "Do you think that she'll ever feel the same?"
Why, WHY did he have to ASK that question? I don't know how to answer those! "Uh.well, I don't know. Maybe you should try being more romantic toward her." There that was the best advice I could come up with.
"I've already tried! She just slaps me in my face every time," Cobra said making sure to keep his voice down to a whisper.
"OH," I said racking my brains for some more advice. "Have you tried.not grabbing her?" oooo that did not need to slip out.
"Yes and she still accuses me of touching her," Cobra looked back down to the ground.
"Maybe you should just tell her," Eriol said walking up to us.
"How long have you been listening?" Cobra asked getting paranoid.
"Long enough and you call your self a man," Syaoran said with a huge chicken thrown across his shoulder. From the looks of it, it was still alive.
"You've got a lot of nerve saying that," Eriol told Syaoran shaking his head. "If you ask me, you both should be ashamed to call your self a man."
"You mean Syaoran hasn't told Melin how he feels about her yet?" I asked starring at them wide-eyed.
"Wait, wait, what! I never said that I had feelings for Melin. She's like a sister to me, there's no way." I saw Syaoran shudder. Was Tomoyo lying when she said that Syaoran liked Melin?
"That's not what I heard," I said.
"Well, believe me you heard wrong," Eriol said laughing.
"You got that right," Syaoran said throwing the chicken down. The chicken plopped on the ground with a.scream? Did I just hear that chicken scream?
"Syaoran, please tell me I'm just delusional. I just heard that chicken scream when you dropped it," I said watching it fluff out it's feathers.
"Darn right you heard me screaming! That thing dropped me like I was yesterday's laundry!" the chicken cried out. I gave the chicken a sideways glance and my world when blank.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I couldn't have been out cold for too long. I woke up to everyone gathered in a circle with worried eyes, except for Melin.
"I had the craziest dream!" I said in amazement. "I dreamt that Syaoran brought a talking chicken! Isn't it crazy?" I asked thinking that everyone would agree with me.
"Uh.Sakura, Syaoran did bring a talking chicken," Tomoyo said glancing at everyone else in the group.
"Oh," I sad. I laid there and blinked a few times letting her words soak in my head, and when it did. "WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed sitting straight up hitting a few heads on the way. My mind and heart was racing. I didn't know what to think. A talking chicken! It's unbelievable! "I think I need help," I said holding my head.
"I think you need help to," I heard a voice sound. I looked up and my eyes landed on the chicken sitting near my feet. I closed my eyes for a long time and then opening thinking that if I believed hard enough, the chicken would disappear. Slowly I opened my eyes and saw the chicken still standing there, so much for that theory of mine.
"Oh my," was all I could say.
"Please don't faint again. You make us worry when you do," Tomoyo said.
"How does everyone here seem to adapt to things so much quicker than I?" I asked mostly to myself. I don't even think I really meant for that to come out in the open, but it did and they're nothing I can really do about it. "I'm not going to faint," I said with my eyes watering up. "Wow, a talking chicken. Now I've seen everything." I said.
"I wasn't born this way you know!" the chicken cried out angrily.
"You wasn't?" We all asked a little curious and surprised.
"No! I was born a fairy!" The chicken fluffed up her feathers proudly.
"What happened?" Melin asked smirking.
"My partner got killed and I was turned into a half demon chicken," the chicken said sadly, but then she quickly perked right back up. "My given name is Mberay (pronounced mmm ber ray. I love that name! It's so fun to say!)"
"That's a very pretty name," I told her, I still felt uneasy being around a talking chicken. I sat there taking deep breaths I closed while chanting inside my head, 'This probably just a dream. And if it isn't a dream then I should be used to things like chickens talking. After all the crap I've been through I should be used to this.'
"I know," Mberay fluffing up her feathers proudly.
"Now that that's taken care of, where are we spending the night? I'm not too keen on going to another village," Melin said giving Syaoran and Eriol an evil look to get her point across.
"Melin's right. We'd probably have better chances of surviving at the forest we were in earlier," Tomoyo said shaking slightly.
I let out a huge yawn and stretched my arms, suddenly I've become really tired. I looked toward the sun which wasn't even setting yet the sky wasn't even turning to it's fiery red yet. What is wrong with me lately? I yawned again, this time I brought a huge eyeful of tears.
"Are you ok?" I heard Cobra ask me, poor thing, he was still tied up to the tree.
"Yeah, I'm fine.just a little tired that's all," I said smiling at him. "We'll finish our conversation later," I said getting up.
"Thanks and could you do me one more little favor?" he asked giving a pleading look.
"Sure what is it?" I asked.
"Could you untie me? This is really uncomfortable," Cobra said scratching his head.
I shook my head and untied him from his bonds. "Anyone gets touched in ways they're not suppose to, then you get tied right back up," I warned him. Cobra nodded his head.
"You're too nice to him, Sakura. I thought we talked about who to trust earlier," Syaoran said giving Cobra his famous death glare.
"Syaoran.that was more than a month ago I'm sure," I said. Now that I think about it, I really don't remember much of that conversation except that we yelled a lot and I had to tend to some wounds of his. Images appeared in my head of Syaoran topless exposing his well muscled upper body causing me to blush. I need sever help.
"So, you remembered it," Syaoran pointed out. Inside my head I kept chanting, 'I hate mind readers, I hate mind readers.'
"That's not the point she's trying to make Syaoran I'm sure," Boa said in a laughing tone. I wonder what was funny.
"Sakura, when you blush like that it really brings out the color in your eyes. Don't you agree Syaoran?" Eriol asked trying not to laugh. What is wrong with these people! They act like they've never been embarrassed before.
"Yes, I do have to admit, it does bring out her eyes considerably," Syaoran said before completely loosing his sanity.
I closed my eyes and walked back to the boulder I was sitting on earlier. Everyone around me was laughing. I still didn't see anything funny about it. Probably cause it was happening to me.
Sighing I closed my eyes as a gentle breeze blew across my face. It's funny how I forgot Kero just for a little while. How could I forget? I hate myself! I can't even be faithful to him as a friend even though he's dead! God, just kill me now. I don't deserve to live.
I pulled my knees to my chest and hid my face in between my knees. I could feel heated tears once again rise in my eyes and fall down my face.
"Sakura, what's wrong?" Boa asked me. I guess she noticed that I wasn't paying much attention to them.
"Did we make you mad, cause if we did, we're sorry," Eriol said. I ignored them. I know it was really mean to do, but self-pity just decided to drown me.
My tears suddenly became like a powerful waterfall and I could feel my body begin to shake from it's force.
I'm going to end this chapter right here. Poor Sakura.she's having a horrible emotional roller-coaster. I feel sorry for her.
Ok I've found two fics that deserved to be checked out even though there was a lot of fics I've read that are really good, these two stood out the most.
The Two Kingdoms by Hana no tenshi. This fic is beautifully written and I can't wait for the next chapter.
Not Everything Is Easy by Pinklover. This fic is really good and raises a bunch of questions. It's fantastic.
Check out these two fics they're amazing I promise. ^_~ And if you don't think so then kill me!
Well that's everything, thank you all for reviewing!
