Chapter 15
The Questions
The wind blew throughout the night, nothing seemed the same. It was quite without a creature to stir the night. There was a light snow fall, a woman sat in the cold garden, the plants frozen in the dead of winter. A woman sat on the cold frozen bench, and watched the sky fading from sight as clouds covered the stars. The moon broke through the clouds, and showed an eerie glow over the garden.
'How.why.' she sighed. 'I promised myself that I would never. and yet its true. what do I. do now?' the woman looked up at the moon. 'The guardian of the moon.'
"Moon guardian I am Sakura Kinomoto. I wish to ask a favor. come and." Sakura heard footsteps and then a voice.
"Sakura don't do it. you know that that is not the right way. I will not let you go." Sakura knew who it was before she had ever heard the voice, her brother.
"Brother do you know. there is only one reason that I would contact the moon guardian. I told you there would only ever be one reason." her brother frowned.
"Sakura you can't I know you too well. you would miss everything too much. maybe a week or even a month ago it would have been different. but now you have to much things you care about. I don't like him you know that. I would never say this while he is around and don't you ever tell him. yet I believe he would make a good father." Touya looked up at the moon and stood up heading back the way he had come. "And Sakura if anything happens to you he will be dead." Sakura laughed, watching her brother disappear into the darkness.
"I'm sorry brother but this is something that I must do. I must seek her counsel if that alone." Sakura took a deep breath. ""Moon guardian I am Sakura Kinomoto wish to ask a favor of you." her voice was stronger and did not falter as it did before. "You have guided me through so much, now I could really use that guidance. Please Moon Guardian advise me." She spoke into the wind as it picked up taking her plea to the Guardian.
"Sakura," the voice was gentle and light, almost like a musical composition. "You are so beautiful. Child my sweet child, you have been through so much." A woman appeared in front of Sakura, a simple silver dress, silver hair and white wings. She glowed like the moon. "The only advice that I can give you is to live your life the way that you see fit." The Guardian smiled, "child for the first time you have the greatest gift in the world. To live your own life. I could not see a better fate for you. So live your life your destiny is your own to write. Daughter of Magic, live well and in peace." The woman slowly faded into the reflection of the moon. Sakura watched the place where she had been standing until Sakura could no longer see the woman's outline.
Sakura stood and looked at the moon. "Thank you my friend. Yet I feel there is something wrong with this almost as if. it's unfinished?" she heard footsteps behind her. Sakura did not turn around.
"Sakura what is wrong?" a strong but worried voice caressed her ear.
"Syaoran something. I don't know something doesn't feel right." Sakura took a deep breath trying to sense the wind.
"Sakura. stop there is nothing wrong. you are only conquering reasons to leave." She could hear the anger that flooded his voice, though she heard something much deeper and it was fear. He feared that she would leave and that she would take the child with her.
"Syaoran you are my love. my only. and yet I know that there is somewhere that I have to go before I can finally be free." The warmth in his hands sent chills down her spin when he touched her shoulders.
"Yang Fa, whatever you must do I will come there is no argument there." Sakura smiled and nodded still facing the moon.
"I need to see home."
Kitchen
"Meiling, I need to take a jet." Syaoran's voice interrupted her reading.
"Syaoran it's too late, midnight. It will soon be Christmas." Meiling yawned heading for the door.
"Sakura wants to see her home." Meiling stopped dead. Not moving an inch or a muscle. "Alright I will make the arrangements... Syaoran keep her safe. come home soon." Meiling left and Syaoran looked out at the moon.
'Guardian of the Moon I hope that you can help me help her.' Syaoran left the room, missing the faded appearance of the Guardian.
Plane
The roaring of the plane tied as they entered. It was two now it had taken them a while to get everything they needed. Hopefully they would return by eight, noon at the latest. Sakura rested her head against her lover's chest. Syaoran smiled she seemed so innocent here free from the pain and the anger that had once ruled her life, and her heart. Now it was his without revere. She looked out the plane window, and was lost in thought until Syaoran's lips pulled her form her revere.
"What was that for?" Sakura smiled as Syaoran pulled away.
"I wanted to know what you were thinking about." Sakura smiled and looked out the window.
"I was only thinking that it would have been faster had I used the cards." Syaoran shook his head.
"I wanted you to be fully rested by the time we got to your home." Sakura nodded and watched the scenery fly by.
Kinomoto Island
The birds chirped in the distance, the trees blew unceremoniously in the wind. The garden overgrown, creatures being it's only companions. Although it was snowing in their china it was warm and bright here. The pink petals flouting in the wind covering the whole of the island creating a definite beauty in the sunrise.
A rumbling sound emerged from the sky as a white small plane landed on the stretch of road. A man and a woman slowly emerged from the plane. The woman pushed her hair behind her ear, as the wind blew it across her face. She looked over her home it was a place that she had know well but it had changed slightly over the unattended years. A sad smile graced her lips as the memories of her childhood came flooding back. Looking over the home that she had left so long ago, she took a few steps toward the house, and looked up at the mansion. It was beautiful even now in the years of death and decay.
The door creaked as it was opened, the woman cringed at the sound. Looking around she smelt the dusty and musty way that the room had acquired over the years. Her eyes traveled around the room and finally landed on the stairs. Taking a deep breath she headed for the dark stairs. She heard her footsteps echoing across the room.
"Syaoran I will be right back." The woman climbed the stairs not waiting for an answer or looking back to see if he was still following her. Rounding the corner she saw a hall of doors. Paintings falling and partly ripped from all the time spent in the forgotten hall. There at the end of the hall was the door, her parent's room. The place were she had been betrothed, had fun, and finally where her parent's had died. Sakura walked the hall at a slow pace hoping against hope that it still wasn't there. The cherry blossoms were still etched in the door. Her hand grasped the cold hard metal of the door knob. She gathered that this was the only door that never creaked and when she pushed it open she was right it flew silently on its hinges. She thought for a minute the oil that they used was to make the hinges silent and it had lasted throughout the years.
The room was as it was the day she left. Since that day she had never entered the room, the once white carpet stained crimson from the deadly day that she was left alone. The bodies were gone but for Sakura it was forever etched in her mind the way that her mother's eyes stared lifelessly at her. Sakura walked over to the desk, there was the stain on the oak desk. Sakura had alwaysed love the smell of the desk, but now it was desolate smell that assaulted her nose. Death Sakura looked at the desk and noticed that the draw was slightly ajar. Sakura opened it to find a letter addressed to her. It was still sealed a Sakura blossom graced the seal. Sakura smiled remembering that her father gifted her with all the flowers he could.
She pulled it open and over the desolate smell she smelt something she had long forgotten. Lily of the Valley was one of her mother's treasured, she pulled at the letter and read the following.
Dearest Daughter,
I hope that you forgive me for doing what I believed would save you. I
know that the men will soon come. I know that you are not the little
girl that I saw leave last night to go to bed. I also know that you
are more then likely right around 20 and have revenged our death. The
only reason that you returned is to say your goodbyes. I also know
that Syaoran Li the man that you are to marry is more then likely
standing over your shoulder reading this. I hope that you are happy, I
want you to take this place and do with it what you see fit. My child,
my beloved daughter, know that I loved you with all my heart, both
your mother and I would have done everything to protect you. Please do
not fall into the trap we did. We were young and stupid, yet I will
always remember your smile and the brightness in your eyes. The will
that I'm sure no one has found for this letter was only to appear when
you returned to the island.
You remember the secret place, the tree go to it there within is my
will. Love and be happy, my daughter.
With love,
Mother and Father
"Mother, father, I hope that you will forgive me and what I have become." Sakura finished with the letter turned to Syaoran, tears slowly rolling down her fragile looking face. "I want to see their final resting place." Syaoran nodded and guided her out of the room.
The sun was just finishing its rise over the sea as the two companions walked down the path. The path was lined with cherry blossom trees, and the petals were circling them as their walk continued. Syaoran wasn't sure where to go but he was sure that Sakura would take led. When they came to a rise he was surprised to see that there was a stone and he realized that this was her parents resting place.
"Mother, father." Sakura smiled and walked forward to the graves. "How is everything? I know the island has been lonely without anyone to live here.I have a gift for you." she pulled out flowery. "Flowery release and dispel." The Flowery created a bouquet of flowers at the bottom of the graves.
Sakura looked over the sea. "I smile now as before I didn't. You were there when I needed you. I want to thank you and hope that you can forgive me for what I've become. Goodbye my family." Sakura turned and past by Syaoran heading for the tree sitting alone on one of the hills. Syaoran bowed.
"Kinomoto family I just wanted to say thank you for sending her to me and I will take great care of her." He soon followed Sakura up to the hill where he found her kneeling in front of the tree. He waited standing there as she rose to her feet and reached into a hole near the root that he hadn't noticed before. She pulled a box out form the hole. She turned to him holding the box closer to her.
"Come I think its time for us to return before everyone starts to worry." He nodded and led her back to the plane which soon took off without looking back.
Dragonia: hey, so I hope you liked that there might be more I haven't decided sorry I know its shorter then my other ones.but I've been busy with so much stud so I' glad that there are some more readers. I was hoping to have a lot more but anyway I will continue to write at least two more chapters and then I will start a new one and its either between a heroine or one having to do with a bad Sakura or something like that its still developing I think it will be the heroine maybe the next chapter I will have a short summery for you. Okay well I wanna update so catch you all next time.
Sakura: why?
Dragonia: well because its just getting a little involved.
Sakura: but you like this story.
Dragonia: yes I know but its well I don't know yet maybe.
