This chapter had been deleted and it just got recovered today so I'm SO
sorry for making you guys wait.
~*~ Author's Notes ~*~ I just wanna thank everyone for reviewing and putting up with my late updating. I will try to make my updating more frequent when I get my spring break. Also, I've been thinking of after revising my other two fics to go ahead and turn my Inuyasha fan-fic that I've been working on into an original thing or something like that and post it up at FictionPress.net under the young adult section incase you guys wanna check that out. This doesn't mean I'm no longer gonna write CCS fan- fics or any other fan-fics. But the original fic is going to be a long while from now so. yeah.it's just an urge that I have for some strange reason. Well, enjoy! ^_^
Special Thanks to ~*~ crystal-chan ~*~ d ~*~ mysticalia ~*~ luckyducky7too ~*~ lilsweetcherryblossom ~*~ blueangelbaby ~*~ Felya ~*~ kawaiitenshisakura ~*~ hana no tenshi
Kawaiitenshisakura ~*~ don't worry this story is gonna be a least fifty or fifty five chapters, maybe more than that, it depends on where my mind takes me to.
Luckyducky7too ~*~ The only reason Touya didn't tell Sakura in the first place is that he wanted her to figure things out on her own. It's like he has this fear that if he tells Sakura everything she'll never be able to figure things out on her own. Sounds weird doesn't it? My brothers are like that.
Blueangelbaby ~*~ aww. your welcomed. I was running out of ideas after the 24th chapter and you inspired me to go ahead and show the gang, which I'll try and show again either in this chapter or the next.
Mysticalia ~*~ thank you so much, your review brought a smile to my face. *Hugs back *
Hana no tenshi ~*~ Thank you for your e-mail. It was very touching and I just wanna thank you so much.
You guys have to be the sweetest people I've met in a long time (including Liang ReConst ^_^) Thank you guys so much for everything.
Chapter 25
""You're my." I paused for a moment and just stared at him. I wasn't sure if I should say what I wanted to say or not, but he nodded his head his eyes filled with a glimmer of hope. He wanted me to say it I knew it some how. So I took a deep breath and looked him square in the eye. "You're my brother."
He sat there like a doll and stared at me blankly. Maybe saying that 'you're my brother' wasn't what he was expecting me to say and naturally I became nervous. Then after a moment in awkward silence I saw a grin begin to spread across his face.
"You remember?" he asked.
"Yeah.I remember everything.now." I felt unsure about myself. For the first time in a long time I felt completely helpless without the feeling of being alone.
"It's about time! I was starting to think my little sister was an idiot!" Touya suddenly busted out standing up with his arms crossed and eyes closed.
Now it was my turn to stare at him blankly. "Well, riddles aren't exactly my strong point," I told him without emotion.
"Well, don't worry, that will all change if you defeat the demon master," Touya said.
Then a little piece of information clicked in my mind that I kind of forgot. "I thought you said your master could monitor you." I gave him a suspicious look.
"Well, he could, but when you remembered me as your brother you broke his hold on me! Isn't it great!"
"Yeah but."
"But what?"
"He would have known you've been hinting me in some strange way wouldn't he?" My mind was racing from confusion. It was times like this I needed Kero. I wonder what happened to him, I haven't heard from him since we first became captured.
"Yeah, and I've been punished every time. See." Touya turned around and lifted up his shirt. I gasped at the sight in front of me. His back was covered in bruises, welts, and scares.
"Oh my." I felt like I couldn't breath and my eyes began to water. "Why would you put yourself under all this pain just to get me to figure out you're my brother?" I asked. I don't know about anyone else but I think that was the silliest thing that I've ever known anyone to do!
"It was something that was worth the while. Besides, you figuring out who I am isn't the only thing the riddle meant. You have to remember everything else about your past and you have to learn how to tell your future." Touya said after he covered his scares back up with his shirt.
"I can't have help on this either can I?" I asked disappointed because I already knew what he was going to say.
"No, the more you remember on your own the more of your people you release and the more you weaken the master. Then you must learn, on your own, how to tap into all of your powers that I'm sure has already begun to show. This is the only way to defeat the demon master and you must do it quick or our mother will be in even more danger." Touya sat back down and looked at me with pleading eyes.
"About our mother. She's the pretty lady that looks like an angel isn't she?" I hoped that he would at least tell me this.
"Is she?" he questioned back. Again I stared at him blankly.
"Yes Touya she's our mother and she die-" I stopped there. I wasn't sure why I even said that, it was like it was an instinct and I had almost said that she had died. How do I really know that she died for crying out loud? None of this is making any sense to me. I figured Touya felt my sudden tension and nodded for me to continue. Licking my lips I swallowed and continued. "She and that man, who I think was our father, died when we were still very young and we were adopted into the royal family of the.Skyling." I heard my voice begin to fade away as distant sweet and sour memories poured into my heard.
"You remember all that?" Touya asked kind of surprised. I nodded my head warily not really believing that all of that forgotten information that's so important to me. It was almost like someone was there literately putting words in my mouth.
"I don't understand." I spoke as I shook my head.
"Understand what?" Touya asked me a bit concerned.
"How can I possibly remember all that stuff? No one is able to remember stuff like that from such an early age. Before any of this I could only remember the events that had happened to when I was at least five or six years of age."
"Your different, Sakura. Not in a bad way, but in a good way. Your not like any body els-"
"Do you have any powers?" I blurted out, cutting him off in mid sentence.
"I-I wasn't born with any powers," Touya said. From the way he sounded he sounded kind of hurt but then again kind of grateful.
"Why not?" I asked curiously.
"I don't know. I guess I wasn't meant to have the special gifts that you have. You see Sakura, you have the gift of the Skyling and I am like any other human, but you are different."
Well, I think Touya got the part about me being different across to me when he first said it, but now he says it almost like it's a bad thing!
I must have been quiet for a long time without realizing it cause the next thing I knew, Touya was constantly calling my name and waving his hand in front of my face.
"Yeah?" I asked as if nothing had happened.
"Are you ok? You kind of spaced out there on me." Touya said looking me in the eye as if he was looking for me to not tell the truth.
"Yeah I'm fine. I guess I kind of got lost out there in the world of nothingness," I told him while giving him my best grin ever.
"I'll say you did. I've been calling your name for a little over ten minutes," he said dryly.
I felt my eyes widen and my mouth repeat silently what he had said. Then all I could think about was what was I thinking about to keep me in Lala Land that long? That's never really happened before, especially not when I'm talking to somebody.
"I'm sorry," I said after I got over my little shock.
"It's ok. I can tell you have a lot on your mind right now so I'll leave you to sort your thoughts out," Touya said getting up off the bed.
Then he just stood there and stared straight out ahead of him as if he was looking for something or looking at someone or something.
Feeling a little uneasy I looked into the direction he was looking in and saw nothing but the pink wall on the opposite side of him. Then I looked back up at him but he just kept standing there looking a little impatient now.
"What are you doing?" I finally asked. I tried to play the guessing game but it's kind of pointless when it's just you by yourself playing it.
Touya frowned a bit before his mouth formed a perfect 'O' and he smacked himself in the head. "Sorry bout that, it's just that it's a habit from all those years being here," Touya said grinning sheepishly.
I nodded my head and looked at him worriedly. How long had he been a servant here?
Touya walked over to the furthest corner of the room and sat down with his eyes closed as if he was going to sleep.
"If you're tired then I'll trade you spots and I'll take the corner. All I'm going to do is sit and think anyway," I told him, but I didn't get any response. Frowning I called his name several more times before the 'wonderful' panic fear kicked in.
I got off the bed on unsteady feet and walked carefully toward him. It was as if I was afraid suddenly that this was a trap and that some bug monster would just pop right out of him and eat me alive.
When I reached him I called his name several more times and this time I shook him really hard, causing a piece of hair to fall on his face. Seeing that it bugged me so much I went to place it back so I of course I did! While removing the hair my finger had brushed against his forehead, which immediately brought my hand back to me.
His forehead felt as hot as fire! Biting my lower lip I placed the palm of my hand fully over his forehead and sure enough he had a fever. I hadn't even realized that he was sick! I don't understand why guys have to act so manly and not tell anyone when they really need some serious help. I could bring the fever down if I had some herbs and maybe bring him back to consciousness. He's just like Sya-.
I stopped what I was doing to wipe a tear from my eye. I had images from my dream of how lifeless Syaoran looked. He didn't respond to anything! If I ever get back to them, he'll probably hate me for the rest of our lives.
"Hello there princess." I heard the demon master rang.
"Go away," I said.
"What did I say about being disrespectful to me! Do you want repeat of what happened the last time you were disrespectful to me?" he yelled the questions so loud that I had to cover my ears and then I swore I heard Kero's voice say, 'must stay weak.' That's when I remembered what the demon master had said earlier.
"Sure why not! Do what you want to me!" I shouted back to him. Then I heard him laughing.
"Do you think that I'm foolish? I know your wanting me to go ahead and delay t he process of me getting to your powers but that's not going to happen.no matter how hard you try." Don't you just hate it when something like this happens? I do because it happens constantly to me!
"I'm sorry, Stupid Demon Master of the monkeys, who through bananas at you all day long bec- whoa!" I gasped. Once again I was in the air and instantly smashed into the way. Moaning I feel hard on the floor.
"DON'T EVER CROSS ME AGAIN OR NEXT TIME YOU'LL REGRET IT!" the demon shouted before quietness took over my room once more.
Well, besides the pain, that plan worked out nicely, but the really weird thing is that this throw was weaker than the first throw I received. Maybe Touya was right about the whole remembering and knowing thing.
I slowly picked myself up off of the ground and walked over to a wash basin. I grabbed a wash cloth and put it on my shoulder and picked the basin and carefully walked it over to Touya.
Sitting down I began to work the other old fashioned way of reducing fevers. I took the wash cloth and dipped it into the cool water, wrung it out just a little so the water wouldn't drip, carefully folded it, and placed it on his forehead.
I must have done this process for hours before I got his fever to break. Standing up and stretching the my arms and legs I walked over to my bed and began pulling blankets and a pillow off and made a pallet on the floor. Then I dragged Touya up to my bed and pulled him on, with much difficulty. After I got him on the bed I tucked him in with all the quilts I had left and let him sleep there.
Being so tired and sore, I literately dropped to the ground and crawled to my little pallet. Snuggling deep within the blankets I once again had a dream or vision.
~* Tomoyo, Eriol, Cobra, and Boa were being chained up on their wrists and ankles. Then they were forced into some kind of line using more chains.
I saw Melin smiling brightly as if she were a little girl who had just gotten her favorite treat to eat, with Syaoran by her side on the ground sitting in his lifeless position.
"Smile now honey! Soon your friends won't remember your little precious and you'll see her again soon. Some people don't even get to see the one's they love deaths. You should be grateful," she spat the last part of it out causing him to flinch. *~
I woke up with a start. I could have sworn I heard somebody in the room moving around. I glanced up on my bed to see if Touya was still there. Seeing that he still hadn't moved since I last saw him I stood and got myself ready to fight what ever came my way.
"Oh give me a break, Sakura. You couldn't fight me so put your fists down," I heard someone say.
There was something standing in front of me now, but I couldn't make it out, no doubt it was a demon.
"Who are you and what do you want?" I asked, but I didn't drop my guard.
"I am your new servant," it said. It's voice was somewhat masculine, but it sounded as sweet as honey.
"What are you doing here so late and why did the lights go out? The lights never go out in here," I demanded. This is all getting too strange for my comfort.
"The master decided to take the light away from you. He said you were ungrateful.but as for it being late, it's still daytime."
I dropped my guard a little. This place is cookie!
~* Once again I wanna thank you for all of your reviews and your support. I would have had this chapter up earlier but it got deleted last night and this morning it got recovered so I wanted to hurry up and finish it and get it posted or at least saved before it decided to disappear again.
Loves you all! ~* Ghetto Princess
