Author's Note ~*~ Hey everyone! Thanks for all the reviews and waiting so
patiently with your torches and pitchforks for me to review. I appreciate
that so much! I would have had this chapter up on the 23rd but this chapter
got erased and I had to start all over! So I'm sorry if this chapter is
confusing.
Special thanks to: ~*~ crystal ~*~ Danielle Ngo ~*~ Liang ReConst ~*~ sWeEtAzNaNgEl ~*~ d ~*~ sK ~*~ Tenshi chan ~*~ CJ ~*~ mysticaila ~*~ blueangelbaby ~*~ hana no tenthi ~*~ lilsweetcherryblossom ~*~ SakuraBubbles ~*~ kawaii mouse ~*~ Mistress Tate
Crystal ~*~ don't worry about the gang, I'll have them show up.someday.
Blueangelbaby ~*~ My good high that day I posted it up chapter 22 me and my boyfriend had been going out for a little over a month and finally had our first kiss.
To everyone who asked ~*~ I can't tell you the answers to your questions. Don't worry, they'll get answered though as the story rolls on. Besides, do you guys REALLY want to spoil all the suspense?
Also I wanna say I'm sorry for the delay on this chapter, but it got erased twice during it's making and I'm kind of depressed. My boyfriend, who I was happy about, is acting like a jerk. A SUPER jerk and I'm sorry again for delaying.
Chapter 23
"Oh princess." I heard a sweet voice sang somewhere in the room. I looked around half expecting someone or something to pop up out of no where. "What's the matter Princess? Are you afraid my voice might hurt you?"
"Who are you and what do you want from me?" I asked out loud. These are the times when I want someone to share the fear with or at least to have something to protect me. A pare of shears would even make me happy right now!
"I am your Master and I want your essence." it hissed. I shuddered at the thought of him wanting my essence. It was just plain freaky!
"I'm sorry did I hear correctly? You're my master and you want my essence? Please tell me I heard wrong," I said out loud knowing that I had heard right.
"You heard right my little blossom," it said in a rather amused voice.
"Well, I'm sorry to burst your bubble but no one is going to take my essence and no will ever be my master-" I don't even know why I bothered to argue with the demon master. I should really start thinking ahead. I should know that he would get angry for me smart mouthing back at him, so guess what he did? He sent me flying through the air and crashing into the furthest wall away from me at top speed.
I crash into the wall with a painful thump and lucky for me I kept my hands out in front of me and my head tilted back so it wouldn't get hit and splatter blood and stuff everywhere. Now everything else is in severe pain.
I slumped down to the ground with a loud moan and just laid there. I didn't want to move incase I had broken something and I would only be making it worst, and if anything was broken I would say it was my whole body.
"Now look at what you've gone and made me do. Oh well, there's nothing that I can do about that now can I?" it asked me with that sweet honey sounded voice of whatever it was.
It took what was left of my practically evaporated energy to keep from saying anything. So I continued starring at the ceiling from my new location and then it looked like it started to move. I blinked my eyes several times to make sure they weren't playing tricks on me, but the ceiling kept coming closer and closer then stopped inches away from my nose, but then it started moving again.just not closer but like I was flying or something.
I was so scared that I was trembling even though it was painful. Then I nearly shrieked when I felt my self being lowered and I found myself upon my bed still trembling and in pain.
"Stay here and rest. I can't take your essence if you're in a weak state," the voice said slightly annoyed. So lucky oh me, who couldn't move, laid there in pain until I finally went into a restless sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When I woke up later, I don't know if it was night or day, I found that I could move, even though I was still painfully stiff. My head was in swirls of pain as I carefully sat up in my bed. With a loud moan I stepped onto the floor and stretched myself out as best I could while trying not to pass out from the nauseating blackness that came and went just as quickly as they came.
I stopped in the middle of one of my stretches that I was doing when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. All I could see was a pink background and I. the painful thing about it was it was I was the only thing I could see. I saw tears well up in my eyes and wished that Syaoran and the gang would just magically appear out of no where, but that would never happen.
Come on Sakura, you got to be strong, for everyone, even if there is no one here to see you be strong, I told myself, hoping that it would somehow comfort me in at least a small way. Sadly it didn't and I ended up having to close my eyes to help keep the tears from spilling out.
I sat down where I was at on the floor and began to try and call on Kero again. I really needed someone to talk to right now to let me know I'm not all that alone.
*Kero, * I called gently in my mind. There was no response. *Kero, * I called again still no response. *Kero! * I screamed making my head hurt worst even if the scream wasn't where anyone else could hear. I called him at least a dozen times afterward still getting no reply from him and each call of his name kept getting more frantic.
Calm down Sakura! I yelled to myself. Kero isn't here there's nothing you can do about it.
I let out a heavy sigh and had the sudden urge to practice on my fighting skills. Since I didn't have my sword with me, I decided to teach myself how to fight in hand to hand combat. That doesn't seem so bad right?
I stretched the rest of the kinks in my body the whole time my mind was racing with crazy ideas about getting me out of here.
One idea was to pretend I was dead, but then I remembered that the demon master could send someone in here to check for a pulse or something. There were other ideas that I had that I'm not even going to mention cause one, I can't remember any of them, but one stood out above any of them.
I remembered the demon master person saying that he couldn't take my essences while I was in a weak state. So in order for me to stay in a weak state is starve myself. It could work, eventually I'll be as skinny as a piece of tree bark and I'll look more and more like a dead person! Then the demon master would probably mistake me for dead and throw me out! It's risky, but I'm willing to try it.
I threw a punch at the air pretending it was one of the demon's minions or something like that and practically jumped out of my skin when my fist connected what felt like real flesh!
I let out a little shriek and jumped back from my previous position getting ready to attack whatever it was, even though I didn't see anything. I heard a loud "OUCH!" and suddenly Touya appeared holding his jaw in one hand and a tray of food in the other.
"What was that for?" Touya asked angrily, which he was in titled to be.
"I'm sorry! I didn't think that you or whoever comes in here when I'm not awake would appear there! I hope I didn't hurt you, I know I can't hit that hard," I said biting my lower lip as I rushed over to see if he was really hurt, and sure enough, he had a bruise forming where my fist connected.
"Don't hit hard my butt!" Touya cried out looking somewhat like a wild man. "Who taught you how to punch like that?" he asked me walking away to set the steamy, delicious, mouthwatering food on my nightstand.
"No one," I answered still looking at the food. I didn't realize how hungry I was until I saw that tray of wonderful food!
"Yeah right. No one can hit that hard without someone teaching them how to first," Touya said sitting on the edge of my bed. I watched him out of the corner of my eye. "Aren't you going to eat?" he asked.
I finally tore my gaze away from the food and looked at him. "No, no, I'm not hungry right now." I'm such an awful liar!
"You know starving yourself isn't going to keep the Master away if that's what you plan on doing," Touya said as if he had read my thoughts earlier.
"Why not?" I cried out.
"Because he'll just force feed you so you can get better and all of your power is gained. Then he'll just kill you," he said calmly.
"OH jeez thanks, I feel so much better now," I said sarcastically as I walked over to the plate of food and grabbed a piece of meat that was lying there, calling my name. "Taking a mouthwatering bite I remembered what he had said earlier and I just had to know something. "What did you mean when you said, 'remember your past and know your future?'"
I stopped massaging his badly bruised jaw, which I felt bad about since I caused it, and looked like he went into deep thought or just spaced out. Then he got this look as if he was about to tell me and he really should.
"I'm not going to tell you," he answered calmly before closing his eyes.
My mouth dropped opened letting a crumb of meat fall out. "Why not?" I cried after, I swallowed the rest of the meat.
"Cause didn't I tell you before that it was something you had to figure out on your own, Sakura? I can't just tell you what my little riddle says, you have to guess it or just know it from the heart." He looked like he was about to go to sleep and then he just disappeared again.
"Great," I said to myself out loud, "I'm alone again, how nice is that?" I finished eating my food and began practicing on my fighting skills while thinking about that annoying riddle.
Once again I would like to say I'm sorry for the long wait on me updating and I know you guys are probably getting way over ticked off and I understand that. Thanks for all your reviews!
I've been trying my hardest to read fics, but unfortunately I don't seem to have much time to read any newer ones other than the ones I'm reviewing now and I feel really bad about that -_-.
To Hana no tenshi ~*~ I've tried to download the msn but for some strange reason it won't download. So I'm going to try again Friday and see what happens.
