Chapter 5
The Truth
Syaoran had left the room soon after meeting Sakura's guardians he did not feel right being there. His mother would be happy with her she would end up top love her. For some reason despite the fact that she was mean to everyone most of the time people fell in love with her. Syaoran thought that it might have been caused by her eyes, they looked deeply into your soul and brought forth your greatest weakness to be seen clearly on the surface of your skin.
"Syaoran how is she?" he heard his mother's voice behind him.
"Better." He paused thinking about what he knew he should tell and yet he wasn't sure if she knew or not. "Mother?"
"Yes."
"Sakura is the Card mistress and a descendant of Clow reed." He heard no change in his mother but heard it in her voice.
"I knew that she was a descendant but thank you for telling me about her being the mistress." Yelen walked over to her son and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Have you told her yet?" Syaoran shook his head. "Your afraid tell me what of?"
"I don't want her to know at least not yet I want her to finish fighting her demons first. She has much to do and I want to help her without having something hanging over her head."
"Have you thought that maybe your thoughts are not that far from hers? She's just afraid that you'll end up hurt." His mother's hand slipped from his shoulder. "In the end she must fight it alone you and I both know that." Syaoran heard the door close and walked to his room deep in thought his feet needing no direction because they new the way without hesitation.
Sakura's Room "Mistress, do you love him?" Sakura was silent for a few minutes. She had always told her guardians everything and had never and would never lie to either one of them. Thinking about everything that she had been through, and what her very body was telling her she finally answered.
"Yue you ask a question that I wasn't even ready to answer but if you must know then the answer is yes and that will never change." Sakura sat on the bed next to Yue.
"Mistress you have changed a lot since I last seen you." he looked down at her figure in the setting sun. He would do anything for his mistress even die if the chance called for it and she knew it.
"Well I have been training so much and after everything is over I will.. Return to my life." Yue sighed they both knew that Sakura had no life to return to and that she was very much planning never to return. Yet the two would never bring it up for Kero's sake he was still too caring about their mistress. So Yue spared him the torment, though Kero knew what they where talking about he wasn't as naive as they perceived him to be.
"Yes I'm sure you will." Kero spoke up not wanting to be forgotten.
"I think its time that we all get some sleep considering that we have about a week left before we fight the final battle." Kero and Yue nodded in reply. "Yue I want you to be ready tomorrow before sunrise we start." Yue and Kero looked at Sakura oddly she had never ever been up before sunrise. "What?" Sakura's face still did not change.
"Well you're never up before sunrise." Kero was kind of smiling Sakura had changed a lot more then he thought.
"I will be now bed." Sakura had no tone emotionless as always. Sakura changed into a nightgown and got into bed. Yue slept in a different room. Kero listened as Sakura's breathing became normal, and then he fell into a deep slumber. What he didn't know was that Sakura was still very much awake.
Leaving her bed and walking to the window. The sun had settled down beneath the horizon long ago. She watched the firefly's in and around the darkness. An unseen tear rolled down her cheek. Sakura had been planning this fight for a long time, and now when she finally had a chance she might blow it just because she had something to live for or rather someone. Well that was not going to stop her from what she needed to do in the end.
Three Days Later
As the sun touched the horizon Sakura was already deep inside a battle that would not soon come to an end. Yue and Kero were battling her with everything they had, she was allowed to use her magic but not her physical attributes. Yue and Kero had attacked her relentlessly. It had been three days as such, Syaoran watched from the second story window. He had barely even seen her more or less talked to her. Sakura spent her morning training and was exhausted by noon or one. Then slept until five, when she returned to consciousness she then trained physically. Sleep had eluded her so much that she would only sleep when her hand no longer held a sword.
"Syaoran you should talk to her, in five days she'll be gone." Meiling was standing in the doorway to the second story library.
"Why would it matter? Do you know that I saw her when we were little, I lived in her house for two weeks? That was two days before her parents were killed, her parents and mine made a promise one I have yet to figure out but I knew it was about us. I still can't even imagine what it's like seeing both your parents the way she did." Syaoran watched as Sakura used shadow to immobilize Kero.
"I remember when she told me she described so vividly. As if it was the only memory that she has of them." Syaoran turned to Meiling pulling his gaze from Sakura's battle.
"It is the only memory she has. The man that created the spell made it so that she would come after her. Sakura forgot everything, even her friends." He walked towards Meiling.
"What do you mean?" Syaoran looked at Meiling she too had forgotten the short auburn haired girl that they had once played with.
"Remember Tomoyo and you used to play with another girl, she was shy but kind and caring." Meiling nodded remembering the little girl that came almost everyday and then suddenly never showed up she had always wanted to know what happened to that little friend of hers. "Sakura was that girl, do you see now how that has affected her." Meiling nodded. Meiling left Syaoran to his thoughts that were surrounded this man or demean that made Sakura this way. Syaoran glanced at the clock it was 10, he had time. It was time that he met the man that had destroyed the sweet girl he had once known.
Warehouse
The water slapped up against the docks creating a serene sound. The buildings were old and many had been all but destroyed by fire. Across the ocean many bouts traveled creating more waves that slapped up against the docks. At one of these docks stood a man next to a black Firebird, the man looked around taking in the serene sounds of the place. Yet this place was anything but serene inside one of these buildings was a man of great power who had killed one of the strongest undercover families in the world.
"Syaoran, I've been excepting you." there was a figure standing in shadows not ten feet away from the car. "I imagine you've come to kill me." Syaoran only looked at the figure.
"But before you do there's something you should know I mean about the Kinomoto Family. I was much closer to them then you would think I had seen Sakura grow up. At first I had never intended to kill anyone of them. Yet as she grew up I found that her family would make more trouble then they were worth. I also knew that Sakura would be more trouble then her brother. Yes I know where her brother is and I also know that she is the card mistress. I am not after her cards or her magic." he smiled under his hood Syaoran could tell by the way that the man moved. "The real reason that I killed her parents was for one reason and that was when they refused a generous offer on my part."
Flashback
"Jack it's nice to see you. What brings you here?" a young man of 18 walked into the kitchen. Black hair and blue eyes, he stood strong and looked menacing. Sakura's parents had never really liked him he favored Sakura and treated her like a princess.
"I wanted to ask you two a question or rather I wanted to get your blessing in something." Sakura's parents sat down, her father motioning for him to take the seat across from them.
"What is it?"
"When your daughter is of age I would like to marry her. I believe that she would live well in the life that I have set up not only that she would love it also. For her to be so far away from civilization is not good for a young girl's future." Sakura's parents looked at each other taking in what he had just said. Jack was ten years older then Sakura.
"Jack, well I wasn't expecting this. Can we talk to her about it I mean can we have a day or two to really decide?" Jack nodded already knowing the answer. He would return the next day while Sakura and her brother were gone so that he could really deal with the traitors. Jack left the room with a smile, he saw a boy run out of a room screaming his name.
"JACK," Touya had always liked Jack he was like an older brother to him.
"Touya hello tell me what would you think about me and your little sister." He watched Touya's face grow squeamish.
"I would but I don't think that she would agree she's so temperamental." Jack laughed and Touya smiled.
"Well Touya I thought that you would be the one to object." Touya shook his head.
"Not at all." Jack nodded and pulled Touya down the stairs.
"Touya you just saved your own life tomorrow I want you to go to my house and there will be a young girl I want you to show her around town okay?" Touya only nodded.
End of Flashback "There are many things that you don't know about cherry blossom. For instance how she is and always will be a loner. No matter how many times you try to get her to love you she never will. Or how she is the single being between life and destruction of this world. She must bare this wait alone. If you believe this and nothing else, is that I never prevented her from remembering you she did that on her own. You and your father showed up at the island for you two had been called. She pushed you away, and since she has pushed everyone away." Syaoran watched as the body breathed on heavily. He realized then this man should only be about 38, 39 maybe so how is it that his breath was so heavy. It was like he had run to get here not just talked for a half an hour.
"What happened to you?" Syaoran's voice was shaky he was still trying to take in the story.
"I gave up much of my youth in creating that spell and in doing so I tied her life to mine. She dies I die, I feel what she feels, but more then that I used most of my life creating it and her life is actually sustaining mine. In truth I expected death long ago. She no longer loves or feels. I have been cut off from her, at least her feelings." He paused looking at Syaoran a little harder. "You love her, there is one way for the link to be broken. It was prophesized from her own mother long before she was born. 'A spell at first seeming smart drains life, suspending by a string. Death is a dream, one only wished for. The once frozen must meet with the frozen flame. To bring about fire in the jade, and for the flower to blossom the past must be accepted and be lad to rest.' Sakura's mother said this in a fit of a sleep." The man turned from Syaoran and left. All the way home Syaoran thought of these words and tried to remember the trip to the island. The man had not been what he expected, in fact he was the exact opposite was it a trick.
Li Mansion
Sakura was training with Yue, martial arts, they had barely begun when something interrupted Sakura's concentration. Apparently it had Yue too. Sakura had felt a change in the Mansion its air currents as if it was stopping Sakura from leaving from moving. Sakura felt it at the outside of her range. Syaoran was confused and he wanted answers. Answers that only she could give him, his urgency scared her. He was inside the mansion, Sakura did the only thing that her body wanted at that point. Run it screamed at her, run. So she did, against the house and Syaoran she ran to the door throwing it open and running into the gardens. At full drive she reached the end within a few minutes. She felt Syaoran not far behind her. Her muscles screamed for her to continue, run and she did finding the forest path easily. She followed it deeper into the forest, all on the Li grounds.
Soon she came to a cliff, where tired and thirsty she slumped to the ground taking in the sight. It was the city or part of it, the rest was of the forest. Sakura wondered what it would look like at night since it was already a magnificent sight in full daylight.
"Beautiful isn't it. This is a perfect spot to watch the stars." Syaoran sat down next to her. Some of the urgency she had felt earlier had abated. "I'm sorry I just needed to get away I know what you want and I couldn't say it not in a house with walls something that cane be twisted and used." Syaoran only nodded. "Much of the things you don't know and some that you do are conflicting lies. I guess it's not much but if you wanna know the full story in its truth and entirety I guess I owe you for the training and the well consider it pay for allowing me to stay."
"Sakura I believe there is a part you yourself was never really told. You don't have to tell me anything I would like to know but you are not obligated to tell me." Sakura nodded.
"I guess you could say it started the day that Jack came to my house. He asked for something that scared my parents so much I remember a conversation that my father had on the phone it was very strange."
Flashback
"Hey it's me.. yes yes I know, look I need a favor you remember that thing that we were talking about when we last talked." Sakura's father looked at her with sad eyes and continued to listen to the person on the other side of the phone line. "Yes that I want to. I want to make it happen. We. well were not safe and neither is our family. They know about us, I want you to come tomorrow, pick them up and take care of them.. I know... Yes. the promise still holds." He looked at Sakura again as she sat on the bed with her mother. He gave her a weak smile, he walked over to her mother and her with the phone still in his hand. "Sakura there is. there is someone who wants to talk to you."
"Hello." Sakura's voice was shaky.
"Hello Sakura you probably don't remember me but I remember you." she only nodded. "Now I want you to listen to me well. I want you to go to your room and in the bottom of your closet pull out the book. When you do I want you to say this phrase. 'To save you is to live in me.' can you do that for me?" Sakura didn't understand.
"Yes Sir."
"That's a good girl now go and do that while I talk to your father." Sakura handed the phone back to her father and left the room.
End of Flashback
"The next day you and your father showed up and I learned that it was him that I was talking to. I pasted those days in a blur. I don't remember much. I don't really remember you. There is something else you should know." he nodded for her to continue. "When you had left, Jack came. He told me that I would never be anyone but his and that if I would not be his he would make sure I fell from the inside. That's when he put the spell on me." Syaoran nodded. "And Syaoran to tell you the truth I never worked for the government I'm more a vigilante then anything." Syaoran looked at her.
"Did Meiling know this?" Sakura shook her head.
"Five days and it will be over." Syaoran nodded.
"Sakura promise me that you will come back no matter what."
"Syaoran I can't, I only make promises I know I can keep." He sighed.
"I was afraid you would say that." Sakura nodded.
"Sakura its time that you know the truth also, remember the promise that your father and mine made." Sakura nodded. "Well it was more then a mere promise it was a sacred declare that was never really told or recognized. You were thought to be dead so it was thought to be nulled but when you showed up here of all places well. We realized that it wasn't and that you should know."
"Well what was the promise?"
"We were betrothed well at first it was only a joke but when your parents realized the danger they truly considered it and made it a reality." Sakura looked over the horizon without a word. Taking in the silence that came forth from the forest.
"Syaoran I can not promise you that I will survive this battle but I can say this. If I return."
"When you return."
"This will be my life I will be more then willing to set my fathers promise into action. That is if you also agree." Syaoran nodded his head. "I'm glad you told me."
"And I'm glad that you told me the truth."
