Truth hurts the sequel
Chapter 3
Syaoran sat up in bed with a jerk. Something was wrong he felt it. He frowned. Grabbing his coat, he ran out of his house and to Sakura's house.
"Sakura!" he shouted as he banged her door. No one was at home as Touya had moved out just a few days ago and only Sakura was left in the house. He called for her a few more times but no one answered. Giving up, he sprinted all the way to Tomoyo's house.
"Tomoyo!" He called and the door opened immediately.
"Syaoran? What's wrong?" asked Tomoyo as she invited him in.
"Did you see Sakura?" he asked frantically. Tomoyo frowned.
"No. isn't she at home?" she asked, he voice getting higher and higher with panic.
"No! I can't find her there. Where is-" Syaoran was cut off from a bright light surrounding the room. Tomoyo and Syaoran shielded their eyes from it and when the glow faded, they saw a beautiful ghostly figure staring down at them.
"W- who are you?" asked Tomoyo, clinging on to Syaoran. She almost asked 'what are you?' but it was plain to see that it was a ghost. The ghost smiled at them.
"Sakura is fine. Don't worry. And I am Kari." Said the ghost kindly. Syaoran frowned.
"Where is she?" he asked angrily.
"She's back at Hogwarts (Tomoyo: "Gasp!")," Kari said calmly. "She has to fulfill her destiny."
"Destiny? What destiny?" asked Tomoyo. Kari sighed.
"I could not tell Sakura when I met her because I thought that it was better that Dumbledore told her himself, but I think I better tell you both. You remember Hogwarts right?" asked Kari.
"Yeah. I guess, that wizarding place where Sakura caught thunder's sister." Said Syaoran thoughtfully.
"Well, Sakura has gone back there to fulfill her destiny, as I had said. You see, many years ago, there lived this family of seer, who are people who can see the future. They told Dumbledore a prophecy: that one day, a person with the power to help the person who will defeat the dark lord will be born when the cherry blossoms bloom. The Dark Lord will not know of her presence until the very end. The dark lord will seek of her prized possession and try to take it from her.
"AS you can see, this prophecy was obviously referring to Sakura. 'a person with the power to help the person who will defeat the dark lord will be born when the cherry blossoms bloom.' Sakura was born on April the 1st, as you all know. But this is not all. The time when you, Syaoran, thought that the dark lord was defeated, he was in another part of the world. So that was not his ashes." Said Kari sadly. Syaoran and Tomoyo were dumbstruck.
"If that was not Voldermot's ashes, then whose it was?" asked Syaoran.
"It was the ashes of Thunder's sister's evil sprit. Dumbledor has just realized this as I had told him." Said Kari with a smile.
"Did he get a shock of his life like Sakura would have when he met you?" asked Syaoran with a small grin. Kari chuckled.
"No. It was his portraits that were freaked. But not as freaked as Sakura." She said with a small laugh. Tomoyo smiled and looked at Syaoran who was smiling too.
"Sakura always hated ghosts." Said Tomoyo with a sigh. Syaoran stiffened.
"Wait a minute- you said something about 'The dark lord will seek of her prized possession and try to take it from her.' Does it means that Voldermot will try and take Sakura's cards?" asked Syaoran frantically. Kari sighed.
"Sadly, yes. But I know Sakura will put up a good fight." Said Kari with a reassuring nod.
"What can we do now?" asked Tomoyo in a whisper.
"You both have to wait for me to restore my powers before I can transport you both to Hogwarts. I used up most of my energy transporting Sakura and Kero there. Please tell Yue and Sakura's brother this for me. It's time for him to know the truth. I need to go now. Please take care. Both of you." Said Kari as she disappeared slowly.
Syaoran sighed and slumped onto Tomoyo's couch.
"Why does Sakura always have to make me worry?" asked Syaoran as he buried his face in his hands. Tomoyo put a hand on his shoulder and sighed.
"It's just her personality." Said Tomoyo. They were silent for a few minutes and Syaoran decided to brace himself.
"Come on Tomoyo. Let's go tell Yue and her brother." He said as he stood up. Tomoyo nodded and grabbed her own coat, and they both walked into the dark night, not knowing if they were bearers of good or bad news.
As expected, Yue and Touya had not taken it very well. It took both Syaoran and Tomoyo to convince them that Sakura was fine in Hogwarts. They left both apartments feeling tired and when he sent Tomoyo home, he walked aimlessly around Tomoeda. Finding himself at the Penguin Park, he slid down onto the swing and sighed.
"Sakura. . ." He whispered silently.
Not known to him, someone far away was also missing him as dearly as he was missing Sakura.
