Past, Present & Future In One
Chapter Nine: Eriol Learns the Truth
Cherry shielded her eyes to avoid the scene making a face of disgust, Xiao Rae did the same and tried to get away from the room. The kids made it so obvious that they thought that what was going on was gross.
They ran into their rooms together leaving a laughing crowd of four teenagers. Sakura was shaking her head as she giggled amusedly and tried to force herself to calm down. Sakura and Syaoran raised their eye brows at the other couple anticipating an answer which they never got.
"Well?" Sakura led waiting for and explanation thoughtfully.
"Well what?" Tomoyo pursued dumbly crossing her arms expectantly.
"How far are you going to go, knowing that two little kids live here?" Syaoran asked with a raised brow and cocked a sly grin.
"What are you accusing us o-" Tomoyo began but Eriol interrupted, "If you are accusing us of something like what I think your getting at, I don't think so Syaoran."
"Not accusing just asking you know, so we don't get the wrong idea or anything, don't you think that's fair enough?" Sakura replied innocently.
"Sometimes Sakura, you can be way too innocent for your own good" Tomoyo sighed rolling her eyes.
"Yeah, but it puts people off wouldn't you agree?" Sakura answered with a smile.
The whole room erupted with laughter as they began chatting away and catching up.
~*~*~*~*~Cherry & Xiao Rae~*~*~*~*~
"We need to tell him so he'll just leave" Xiao Rae stated crossing his arms and bowing his head in thought.
"And how do you suppose we do that without getting Mom and Dad suspicious?" Cherry retorted defiantly making her sound really cute as always.
"What does it look like I'm trying to do? I'm trying to figure out just how to do that!" Xiao Rae snapped venomously. Cherry shuddered in fright and grabbed her hands scared, "Look Cherry, I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap, it's just that well, it's really hard, what Mom and Dad expect us to do and this time has stuffed up so much" Xiao Rae apologized and explained in a calmer tone.
Cherry nodded in understanding, she too felt the pressure that her 10 minute older brother was under. Here they were two four-year-old kids with the fate of the future riding on their little backs, even some adults couldn't ever handle that kind of pressure and here these two kids were handling it pretty 'well.'
"So let's try to figure out who followed Mom and Dad back and find a way to get Eriol to go back into their own time." Xiao Rae suggested
Cherry tried to look happy and excited but failed so she just let her whole face slump, biting her lip she murmured softly, "Xiao Rae, I'm scared"
"It's okay, I'm here for you Cherry, and I swear nothing bad will happen to you, how's that?" Xiao Rae assured confidently
"That's what I'm afraid of, I'm always winding myself into trouble and I'm scared that you'll get hurt trying to help me." Cherry stated in a barely audible whisper as she hugged her brother.
"Well I'm not gonna let that happen, we'll both be okay" Xiao Rae declared hugging her back.
Cherry pulled out of the hug and made a cute face "Promise?" She asked holding out her pinky.
"Promise" Xiao Rae repeated taking her pinky in his. Cherry lunged forward to hug him again.
"You're the best big brother ever" She affirmed meaning every single one of her words.
Xiao Rae smiled at his little sister gratefully, "Okay let's make this plan work kay?"
Cherry beamed, "Okay!" She sang brightly as the two tried to plan to tell Eriol when their little parents were out. It wasn't very likely that Sakura and Syaoran would leave Cherry and Xiao Rae with Eriol and Tomoyo so they had to figure out a way to make their parents leave.
~*~*~*~*~In The Other Room.~*~*~*~*~
Just when they all got comfortable, the unbelievable happened, they sensed a Wolf Card near by.
Sakura sighed getting up from her seat Syaoran right behind her. They walked over toward the door and took their coats from the rack.
"Well I guess we have to go, Syao could you please get the kids, they can't be home alone." Sakura asked lazily.
"What? Does the reincarnation have to come, it could just be me and you?" Syaoran queried.
"I want to tape every minute of this!" Tomoyo spoke out grabbing her camera.
Sakura looked horrified then quickly added ".err. On second thought, we wouldn't want too many people to come because it could get suspicious." Sakura was truly sick of being taped and the works. She just wanted time AWAY from the camera.
Syaoran wanted to agree but he knew that he was obligated to make those kids feel safe and didn't want to leave them with who they found to be complete strangers, "I could go alone-" Syaoran evoked
"What? I thought-" Sakura began but her eyes met Syaoran's. She understood what he was feeling and was inclined to agree, "That's a great idea. We can't leave the kids behind and we can't have everyone come, Eriol could go with you."
"Yes, what a marvelous idea, the girls could stay behind while the guys do go find some action!" Eriol smiled.
Tomoyo sighed in defeat, "Fine, fine, I'll stay put"
Everyone in the room except for Tomoyo gleamed gladly. Syaoran and Eriol headed out to the door as Sakura retreated and came back in when two little voices stopped them.
"Wait! I wanna get to know your friend" Xiao Rae called out
"And I wanna know how this lady makes all these pretty dresses" Cherry added sweetly.
"Aww how sweet!" Tomoyo grinned. She was flattered and so went down on one knee and held her arms open "Come here you little sweetheart"
Cherry accepted the invitation without reluctance and hugged Tomoyo, "What's your name?" Cherry demanded
"My name is Tomoyo, what's your name?" She replied softly
"My name is Cherry!" Cherry beamed. Sakura smiled at what was happening she brushed her hair back and continued watching.
"Also we want you two to go together" Xiao Rae stated referring to his parents.
"Fine you win!" Sakura raised her hands in defeat, "We'll go"
Sakura and Syaoran exited the door and slammed it shut. As soon as the door shut the twins didn't waste any time to do what they wanted to do.
"We're the time disturbance" Xiao Rae announced
"What-" Eriol wondered
"Wait, we're not done" Cherry insisted
Tomoyo was getting a migraine, what were these kids talking about? At that point she made the conscious decision to just leave. So she walked away into the kitchen of the little apartment.
"We're they're real kids, only in the future. Mom got pregnant at 19 and had us when she was 20. Mom and Dad got married and Dad became the leader of the Li clan, everything was perfect until we found out that Mom and Dad were followed when then went into this time.
^^Flashback^^
"What!? We were followed?" Syaoran demanded angrily. He was standing beside Sakura, hands intertwined. Sakura stroke her belly lovingly with the thought of the third child to come. She looked up at the elders also waiting for a full explaination.
"Not only that but they managed to embrace the magics of light. When one travels in time, not only do they have the opportunity to alter history and learn of the past, they hace the opportunity to acquire the Magics of light." One elder explained.
"With the magics of Light, one has the capability to change what ever they want and obtain full control of time. Basically they can make time do anything, freeze, fast forward, rewind. Or magic stands no chance against this, they can even bring people or beings from the past of future to any time they want. They could resurrect dinosaurs or bring future technology into this time and use it against us." Another pointed out
"No time for lectures, there's a fire at the main gain, oh god" Sakura panicked, "Our families and staff may die, we have to do something!"
"Someone will have to go back in time to change things, otherwise the world as we know it will be no more, it could pretty much turn into a desolate piece of ruble." Hirous the head elder ordered.
At that moment Hera and Kero rushed in, "Some maids are trapped in the kitchen, this estate is fully surrounded, there's no way we can get out of here." Hera burst out with Kero beside her just as worried.
"I think it's about time that we go back again" Syaoran stated as he folded his arms.
"Well I don't think so," Kero spoke folding his arms as well. Sakura and Syaoran raised their eye brows, "You can't go back, we need you here to protect the estate and people, if you go back no one can lead us out of here or anything. Where would the leaders be when the place is going in shambles?" Kero continued
"The stuffed Animal makes a good point, what do we do now?" Syaoran said nonchalantly as he tilted his head sideways a little. It was not a surprise that the Li clan leader would be so clam about this.
"We send the children!" An elder announced. All at once Syaoran's cool attitude dropped and he looked in shock. Sakura looked just as worried.
"What the hell are you suggesting? That we send our kids back in time to stop the masters of time, that has destroyed half out\r estate by only willing in a matter of seconds!?" Syaoran demanded.
"Absolutely no way in hell am I going to send my babies back in time to save our behinds! Either me and Syaoran go or no one goes at all!" Sakura affirmed angrily, not believing they would suggest something like that.
"Look your children would surely die if they stay here and you'll only be increasing the chances of that if you leav. They may be strong for mere kids but there's no way they could last here. If you go back, time will pass here too you know, even if only minutes pass. This is a very pivotal time, a second could destroy everything." Ryu another elder pointed out heatedly
"This could be the end of absolutely everything, our clan, our estate, our families, people and everyone in the world. Not to mention the world itself! Even every other dimension that exists, they have complete control."
Sakura and Syaoran sighed knowing they were right, "Okay, well convince them to go" Sakura decided. If anything were to happen to their kids, they wouldn't forgive themselves. If they went back in time then at least they wouldn't have to o through they agony of this time. It was the best option they had to at least five the kids a chance.
^^^End Of Flashback^^^
"We weren't really thrilled with the whole idea of going back, we were going to miss Mom and Dad so badly, and we were scared to change time and ruin everything." Xiao Rae finished.
"So you're the people in the wrong time?" Eriol asked
"Well yes, but I reckon little Mom & Dad are starting to get suspicious, with you being here and all." Cherry whispered.
"Oh, I get it!" Tomoyo squels, "Well we'll leave if it helps you guys-"
Cherry and Xiao Rae exhaled gratefully happy that they got through to Eriol and Tomoyo.
"-after I take at least a dozen pictures of the cutest babies ever! And to think you're Sakura and Syaoran's kids. I should have known, I mean Cherry's auburn hair and golden-amber eyes and Xiao Rae's chestnut hair and emerald-green eyes." Tomoyo finished.
And so it began another photo shoot with out favourite photographer and her favourite little models while their parents were out somewhere catching some wolf cards!
