Sorry for the long wait! My stupid computer wouldn't let me upload ANY new chapters at all!
Scattered Through Time
Chapter 4:
Sakura didn't wait long before opening her eyes this time. She saw that nothing about thier clothes had changed aside from the fact that they were no longer soaking wet. Syaoran was right next to her this time. They were both looking around. Where were they. They scanned the area for any clue that could lead to where they were. Finally, Syaoran nudged Sakura and gestured in the direction of the big stage like place in front of them. Sakura gasped. She had a feeling she knew where they were. On that stage were some flags and on them, were Nazi symbols. There was someone walking onto the stage and from what they knew of World War II, this could be none other than Hitler.
He started speaking and yelling about how Germany was betrayed. How the Jews were to blame. The worst part was Syaoran and Sakura understood every word he said. They couldn't slip away without being noticed. It wasn't possible. Sakura could have sworn Hitler was glaring at her. She swallowed hard. They weren't hard to see because they were now near the front.
"We need to destroy ALL of them!" He yelled. Then he unmistakably glared at her again. "Like her!" He said pointing to Sakura. What made him think SHE was a Jew?
Everyone stared at her. "Oh no sir, I'm not a Jew, I-"
"You see? They are afraid. They fear us. Even when they wear the star of David on thier clothing they are afraid!"
Then Sakura got it. Tomoyo's camera star! They thought it was an equivelent to the star of David.
"Take her away men!" He yelled at her.
Some wierd people with Nazi badges on thier arms grabbed Sakura. They started to take her away.
"Hey bring her back!" Syaoran yelled.
"Don't worry son the vermin is going away." Hitler replied.
Sakura decided to pretend she didn't know Syaoran. Hitler wouldn't harm Syaoran if she didn't know him. She pretended to accedently drop her blue bag with the Sakura book inside. It couldn't help her. Besides she already had the cards in her pocket anyways.
Syaoran knew he could do nothing but watch her be dragged off. He picked up the blue bag she had dropped. Hitler continued with his speech pretending nothing had happened. Syaoran didn't want to worry everyone but he knew he had no choice.
*~*~*~*~
"Eriol! Not in public!" Tomoyo shouted.
"Tomoyo everyone already knows we're boyfriend and girlfriend Tomoyo. No one cares." He said as he kissed her. Tomoyo broke the kiss rather quickly.
"Eriol! Look Sakura's writing to us!" Tomoyo said pointing at the peice of paper.
Tomoyo read the message and just stared at it in shock.
"What Tomoyo?" Eriol asked trying to see the paper but Tomoyo moved it away. All of a sudden she started running as fast as she could to Sakura's. Kero was there now and he would know what to do.
Meanwhile Kero was making a hard decision.
"Pudding or Cake.... I just had pudding but its sooo good!"
"Kero! Kero! Sakura's in trouble!" Tomoyo said bursting in. She knew no one else was home.
"What? Whats going on?"
"Look!" She said pointing to the paper. Eriol got his first glance at it too.
"Tomoyo or whoever: Sakura's been captured. They thought that-" There was a scribble mark there as if Syaoran had written something he didn't want to. "She was a Jew. Were in Germany in the middle of World War II. I don't know where on earth they took her. Help! -Syaoran."
"Why would they think she was a Jew?" Tomoyo asked.
"It must be the St-" Kero stopped himself. He knew how Tomoyo was about Sakura. "St- St- Start of a new way of telling apart Jews." Kero said struggling to find a word that fit where "St" had left them hanging.
"Do you think She'll be alright?" Tomoyo asked a little shaken. Suddenly the message erased and a new on appeared.
"Anyone here? Tomoyo are you and Eriol busy making out? GET OVER HERE!" Syaoran wrote. It sounded like he was frantic.
"Syaoran: I am NOT making out! I'm trying to think of a way to solve this problem -Tomoyo."
"Syaoran: Yes we were, Tomoyo just doesn't want to admit it.-Eriol."
"Syaoran: Ignore Eriol.-Tomoyo"
"Tomoyo and Eriol: Can you PLEASE stop arguing on weather or not you made out? We have a little problem here!-Syaoran"
"Gaki: Just try to find out where she was taken. Thats all we can really think of -Kero"
"Plush Toy: Give the paper back to Tomoyo so next time I write I have someone with brains responding."
*~*~*~*~
"Syaoran: I don't think it was a good Idea to get Kero mad... Anyways good luck and if theres anything we can do, let us know. -Tomoyo"
"Now what do I do?"
*~*~*~*~
"So you're new around here right?" a boy said from his bed below Sakura.
"Got here yesterday. I'm not a Jew. I had this star pin on that my best friend gave me and they threw me in anyways."
"I'm not a Jew either. I was with a family of Jews. My friends family. We were just walking along and they all had thier stars so sure enough I got arrested too. These concentration camps are brutal."
"I know."
"How can you know? No one on the outside knows."
"I-" Sakura stopped. Maybe she should wait until she knew him better. "I can guess."
"I'm Corey by the way. You are?"
"Sakura."
"Thats a pretty name."
"Thank you. So what do children do around here?"
"Same thing as everyone. Have you outsiders heard of Auschwitz?"
"Well, Not me but maybe other people have. What do we do here?"
"Hard labour. Thats all it can be described as."
"When I got off the train they looked at me and sent me to the right. What happens to those on the left?"
"They're never seen again. Killed most probably. If you work hard they don't send you there."
"Syaoran will never find me."
"Pardon? Shao-ron?"
"My boyfriend. He saw me get taken away. He couldn't do anything."
"That's sad. Hey everyone! This is Sakura. Sakura this is-" And he intrduced them all by name.
There was Frank who was funny and made them all laugh.
Kristen who was just like Sakura.
Paul was very kind and caring to everyone.
"Who's that boy in the corner?" Sakura asked Corey.
"Piarre. No one talks to him though. He came here all the way from France and he only speaks french. he doesn't talk to anyone."
Sakura made a mental note to thank Eriol a lot for the language spell. She went over to Piarre and to everyones amazment she spoke to him in French.
"Hi Piarre! I'm Sakura."
He looked at her in shock. So did everyone else.
"You can speak french?" Piarre asked.
"Yeah. I was in France visiting my Grandmother and she taught me a lot."
Piarre smiled. It was a smile of gratitude that touched her heart.
"No one talks to me because no one can speak french. I get real lonley sometimes. I'm glad I have a new friend to help me."
"I'm glad to meet you Piarre. Now you have someone to talk to." She said smiling.
"This is so cool! We've always wanted to communicate with him!" Kristen said.
"Whats going on in here? You! Show this new girl how to work. NOW!" A Nazi SS man yelled.
Everyone scrambled to get thier things and go outside. Corey grabbed Sakura on his way out and dragged her away from the Nazi SS.
*~*~*~*~
"I'll never find her." Syaoran muttered to himself. He passed a lot of people in the street. He passed a guy with a newspaper he was reading. He looked about halfway through with it. He looked at the paper and saw the black and white photo of Sakura!
"Excuse me." Syaoran asked the man. The man turned around.
"What can I do for you?"
"You see I'm not from around here-"
"I couldn't tell. You speak German very well."
"Well I can't read it at all. I heard about that girl yesterday and I wanted to know if you cpuld tell me what they did with her."
The man smiled at him.
"You don't fool me kid. You're her friend. Look, you're in the picture too. Just in the background though."
"I never saw a camera."
"You didn't look. It says here they took her to Auschwitz."
"Au whatta?"
"Auschwitz. A concentration camp."
"Oh. Thanks a lot."
"Do us a favour and give the SS a good kick while you're saving her."
How did this guy know exactly what he was planning? Syaoran needed help. He took out the Sakura book.
*~*~*~*~
"I'm so worried!" Tomoyo said for the fifty millionth time.
"We've heard. Tomoyo calm down. Sakura will be fine."
"We don't know that Eriol."
"She will. You know her. By the way, Syaoran has just written to you."
Tomoyo grabbed the piece of paper on Sakura's bed and read it aloud.
"Tomoyo: get your computer out. I need some fast info. -Syaoran."
"He sounds like he's got something to work with." Eriol said. But before anyone could say anymore Syaoran had written another thing.
"Tomoyo: Now go to Google and type in "Auschwitz" -Syaoran."
"Syaoran: Why are we doing this? -Tomoyo."
"Tomoyo: Thats where Sakura is and I know NOTHING about it. Not even where it is. -Syaoran."
"Syaoran: Its in Poland. Near Oswiecim. It's a Concentration Camp. -Tomoyo."
"Tomoyo: What the hell is a concentration camp? -Syaoran."
"Syaoran: A concentration camp is where they sent Jews to work or be killed. Sakura may- Syaoran you'd better get going. Wait it says here it was nearly impossible to escape from. -Tomoyo."
"Tomoyo: Maybe for people without magic. -Syaoran."
*~*~*~*~
"Syaoran: You evil person! Just make sure no one sees you. -Tomoyo."
"I'm not that stupid."
*~*~*~*~One Week Passes*~*~*~*~
Sakura lay on her uncomfutable bed staring at the cieling. The star key glowed. Whenever it got dark here it did that. It had never done it before. Sakura had already had to cover up for it. Should she tell Corey? They were good friends now. All of them. Corey the best though. Yes. She would tell him.
"Corey. I have the most unbelievable thing to tell you."
"What Sakura? Why'd you wait until everyone was outside but me?"
"I want to tell just you."
"Come over here then and get out of your bed."
"Ok. Ready? I'm not from this year. I still don't even know what year it is. I used magic to get here." Sakura then told him the story of the Clow Cards and Sakura cards and everything up until now. He stared at her.
"That was way to detailed to be a lie. Show me some magic!" Corey asked. Sakura nodded.
"Oki no chikara o himeshi kagi yo! Shin no sugata o ware no mae ni shimese. Keiyaku no moto Sakura ga meijiru!....Release!!!" She called and her key changed into the staff. corey stared again.
"What can you do?"
"Lots. Not much now because I only have 4 cards I've found."
"Show me?"
"Sure."
Sakura thought of something to do. Something harmless.
"Bubble! Fill the room with little pink bubbles!"
Bubble did as commanded. Corey stared in awe.
"Thats so cool Sakura!" Corey said.
"Awsome!" Came a voice from the entrance. Kristen had been standing there the whole time.
*~*~*~*~
Syaoran had no clue where he was. He had no clue where to go. He was lost. He had been lost for 4 days. He had never given up. It had led to this. Syaoran frowned. He needed to ask directions but if they asked why what could he say? He would normally just be rude but in a time like this there was no telling what would happen. He sighed. He guessed he would just have to improvise.
*~*~*~*~
"Sakura can you use your magic to help us escape?" Kristen asked.
"What would I use?"
"What do you have?"
"Lets see. Firey, Bubble, Freeze and Time. Not much help."
"Oh my gosh!" Kristen suddenly yelled.
"What is it?" Sakura asked.
"That pattern on the card! I recognize it!I know it!"
"How could you? I'm from the future!"
*~*~*~*~
"So you're looking for that girl in the paper?" The woman asked.
"Yes. She's my best friend and my true love."
"Now that really is sweet. I'll help you best I can hun."
"Thank you."
*~*~*~*~
Kristen pulled out two cards from under her pillow and Corey pulled out one. Sakura had told Frank, Paul and Piarre. They each pulled out a card too.
"We thought they were good luck cards. They were laying on our beds when we came in one night." Paul explained.
"Oui Oui! Nous ne sais pas les cards....Appartenu a quelqu'un."
"Thats ok Piarre." Sakura said. She added quickly "He said he never knew they belonged to someone,"
"None of us did." Frank added.
"Yeah. But now look what else I have to help me! Fly, Shield, Sword, Dash, Glow and Create! This is good. Most of these cards are really useful." Sakura smiled.
*~*~*~*~
"Auschwitz? Wow you did a good job on your own! Its only an hour or two walk from here."
"Only?"
"Now now Syaoran we're thinking positive thoughts!"
Syaoran liked the woman, Lucy, well enough but she was a little too...WAY too happy for him. The only one who could be that happy and seem normal was Tomoyo and Sakura.
"Happy thoughts. Right." Syaoran said rolling his eyes.
"You're not happy enough!"
*~*~Next Morning*~*~
No one was happy. It was a seldom thing even though they were in a 'Death Camp'. They had each other to keep happy. But now one was gone. Frank wasn't there to tell jokes this time. Sakura didn't know Frank all that well but she liked him well enough. Everyone was down. Frank had recieved a notice that he and his familt had to 'go' and to pack up. In Auschwitz, once you 'went' you were never seen again. Even Sakura had no cheery thoughts to offer. She began to sing a Japanese song.
mado no soto kirakirakirari
nagareboshi ga hitotsu nagareta
otsuki sama yurayurayurari
hoshi no umi de madorondeita
dareka ga mahou no tsue wo futtano
sore wa koi no mahou
yume iro no jikan
nagareboshi kirakirakirari
suishou no shizuku ni natta
aozora ni pukapukapukari
hikoukigumo wataame no kumo
hanabira ga hirahirahirari
pinku iro no soyokaze fuita
dareka ga mahou no tsue wo futtano
sore wa koi no mahou
yume iro no jikan
awayuki ga fuwafuwafuwari
shiroi hane no tenshi ni natta
nagareboshi kirakirakirari
hoshi no umi ni niji ga kakatta
nagareboshi kirakirakirari
negai goto ga kanau to iina
guddo naito tuinkuru mai haato
oyasuminasai...
(AN: This song is called 'Twinkle my Heart'. Its a real song and it talks about shooting stars in the sky and Happy things.)
"That was pretty." Corey said. "What language was it in?"
"Japanese." Sakura replied. She knew it was okay to reveal that she was in a way assossiated with the Japanese.
"You know Japanese too? Where do you learn all these?" Kristen asked with no expression.
"Pouvoir vos cartes l'epargnent?" Piarre asked rather excitedly.
"Non. Ou peut-etre ils peuvent!" Sakura shouted happily.
"What? What on earth are you two talking about?" Paul asked a little annoyed.
"He asked if I could use my cards to save Frank. I said no but then I said maybe we can!"
"How? What cards do you have?" Corey asked.
"Fly, Shield, Sword, Dash, Glow, Create, Firey, Time, Bubble and Freeze."
"Oooooh I know!" Kristen said. "Here's what we do."
~*~*~*~*
"Now it shouldn't be too far... I thought one or two hours but I may be a bit off. Walk that way. I know you'll reach it by dark."
"I thought you were sure it was one or two hours. This is going to take a long time isn't it?"
"Syaoran! We're being positive! Positive remember?"
"Yeah. Ok. Bye anyways."
"Have a safe walk!"
"Finally I'm free from the relm of the happy."
~*~*~*~*
"Is it dark enough?"
"I think it is. It's your opionion not ours though."
"Yeah I think it is Kristen. Well wish me luck."
"Good Luck" They all said in unison.
~*~*~*~*
Syaoran collapsed on the ground. He could see it from here but he had walked all day. He was exausted. He needed some time to rest before he could save Sakura. He was really scared now. Sakura had been gone for more than a week. What could she be doing? It wasn't like her to do nothing at all unless.... No. She couldn't be. Something in his heart was telling him that she was alive. He looked up to see a building surrounded by barbed wire fences. Could it be?
~*~*~*~*
"Sakura? Are you ok?" Paul asked. She just stared out beyond the boundries of the camp in shock.
"You should get going! You don't have much time!" Kristen said frantically.
Sakura opened and closed her mouth a couple of times. She finally managed to utter a single word.
"Syaoran!"
"What?" thay all asked.
"I can sense him! He's nearby!"
"Sakura, I'm happy for you and everything but someones life is at stake. Remember? Sho-ron isn't going too far so don't worry!" Corey said bringing her back to the mission.
"Right. Wish me luck!"
"JUST GO!"
~*~*~*~*
Syaoran was happy for the first time in a while. He was there. He couldn't sense her presence though... She was probably hiding it; something Eriol had taught her and forgot to teach him. He sighed and brought out the book to write in it.
"Tomoyo: Found it. Its really dark right now. I'll save her in the morning."
"Hello! -Eriol"
"Eriol: I said Tomoyo brain dead."
"She's busy getting dinner organized. We're all staying at her house tonight."
"Eriol: Why don't you go an-"
But before Syaoran could finish writing something caught his eye. A pink ray of light and something with wings flying to a different area of the camp. He knew what it was.
~*~*~*~*
Hi everybody! I was away for a long time. It is summer ne? Anyways so I wrote and extra long chapter for you!!! Heehee. Ok so I need your suggestions on where Sakura and Syaoran should go after this. Include them in your reviews. Catch the last word? Revieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeews. Ok I'll stop annoying you now. Bye bye Minna san!

"Got here yesterday. I'm not a Jew. I had this star pin on that my best friend gave me and they threw me in anyways."

"We thought they were good luck cards. They were laying on our beds when we came in one night." Paul explained.
"Oui Oui! Nous ne sais pas les cards....Appartenu a quelqu'un."
"Thats ok Piarre." Sakura said. She added quickly "He said he never knew they belonged to someone,"
"None of us did." Frank added.
"Yeah. But now look what else I have to help me! Fly, Shield, Sword, Dash, Glow and Create! This is good. Most of these cards are really useful." Sakura smiled.
*~*~*~*~
"Auschwitz? Wow you did a good job on your own! Its only an hour or two walk from here."
"Only?"
"Now now Syaoran we're thinking positive thoughts!"
Syaoran liked the woman, Lucy, well enough but she was a little too...WAY too happy for him. The only one who could be that happy and seem normal was Tomoyo and Sakura.
"Happy thoughts. Right." Syaoran said rolling his eyes.
"You're not happy enough!"
*~*~Next Morning*~*~
No one was happy. It was a seldom thing even though they were in a 'Death Camp'. They had each other to keep happy. But now one was gone. Frank wasn't there to tell jokes this time. Sakura didn't know Frank all that well but she liked him well enough. Everyone was down. Frank had recieved a notice that he and his familt had to 'go' and to pack up. In Auschwitz, once you 'went' you were never seen again. Even Sakura had no cheery thoughts to offer. She began to sing a Japanese song.
mado no soto kirakirakirari

(AN: This song is called 'Twinkle my Heart'. Its a real song and it talks about shooting stars in the sky and Happy things.)
"That was pretty." Corey said. "What language was it in?"
"Japanese." Sakura replied. She knew it was okay to reveal that she was in a way assossiated with the Japanese.
"You know Japanese too? Where do you learn all these?" Kristen asked with no expression.
"Pouvoir vos cartes l'epargnent?" Piarre asked rather excitedly.
"Non. Ou peut-etre ils peuvent!" Sakura shouted happily.
"What? What on earth are you two talking about?" Paul asked a little annoyed.
"He asked if I could use my cards to save Frank. I said no but then I said maybe we can!"
"How? What cards do you have?" Corey asked.
"Fly, Shield, Sword, Dash, Glow, Create, Firey, Time, Bubble and Freeze."
"Oooooh I know!" Kristen said. "Here's what we do."
~*~*~*~*
"Now it shouldn't be too far... I thought one or two hours but I may be a bit off. Walk that way. I know you'll reach it by dark."
"I thought you were sure it was one or two hours. This is going to take a long time isn't it?"
"Syaoran! We're being positive! Positive remember?"
"Yeah. Ok. Bye anyways."
"Have a safe walk!"
"Finally I'm free from the relm of the happy."
~*~*~*~*
"Is it dark enough?"
"I think it is. It's your opionion not ours though."
"Yeah I think it is Kristen. Well wish me luck."
"Good Luck" They all said in unison.
~*~*~*~*
Syaoran collapsed on the ground. He could see it from here but he had walked all day. He was exausted. He needed some time to rest before he could save Sakura. He was really scared now. Sakura had been gone for more than a week. What could she be doing? It wasn't like her to do nothing at all unless.... No. She couldn't be. Something in his heart was telling him that she was alive. He looked up to see a building surrounded by barbed wire fences. Could it be?
~*~*~*~*
"Sakura? Are you ok?" Paul asked. She just stared out beyond the boundries of the camp in shock.
"You should get going! You don't have much time!" Kristen said frantically.
Sakura opened and closed her mouth a couple of times. She finally managed to utter a single word.
"Syaoran!"
"What?" thay all asked.
"I can sense him! He's nearby!"
"Sakura, I'm happy for you and everything but someones life is at stake. Remember? Sho-ron isn't going too far so don't worry!" Corey said bringing her back to the mission.
"Right. Wish me luck!"
"JUST GO!"
~*~*~*~*
Syaoran was happy for the first time in a while. He was there. He couldn't sense her presence though... She was probably hiding it; something Eriol had taught her and forgot to teach him. He sighed and brought out the book to write in it.
"Tomoyo: Found it. Its really dark right now. I'll save her in the morning."
"Hello! -Eriol"
"Eriol: I said Tomoyo brain dead."
"She's busy getting dinner organized. We're all staying at her house tonight."
"Eriol: Why don't you go an-"
But before Syaoran could finish writing something caught his eye. A pink ray of light and something with wings flying to a different area of the camp. He knew what it was.
~*~*~*~*
