Chapter 2 Revealing Light
Silver...white...silver..white flashed in the sun as Sakura spun the mysterious feather in her fingers. She was walking from her home on Sequoia Street to the local cafe, in hopes that she could find a new friend, or atleast someone to talk to.
With a smile she twirled the feather another time, feeling the vague waves of compassion and...love...eminating from its comforting presence. ~Why do I feel love? Love which seems so far from me, but closer in this feather. ~ she wondered, her thoughts mystified. Her thoughts were wandering so that she didn't really watch where she was going, she collided violently with somebody as she rounded the corner.
"Ow!! Phweeeeeee!" she groaned as she shifted herself on the 'thing' that had broken her fall. The 'thing' groaned too and moved under her as it struggled to be free of her weight.
"Oh!! I'm sorry!" she exclaimed as she crawled off of 'it' with her hands and knees.
"Ugh... I-I-I'm all right. Woah...Sakura?!?" 'it' said besides her.
Sakura looked down and saw, with a startled expression, that she had crashed into Yukito. "YUKI!!! I didn't mean to crash into--?!?"
"I'm okay, really! I'm better n--" he was stopped short as Sakura's expression changed from surprise to woe; like a passing breeze her temperament changed.
"No!" she wailed,"My feather! I can't lose it!" She stood up and started running with the wind, almost blindly, towards the park that lay across the street. ~I can't use the Clow cards to catch it with Yuki watching! What will I do? I guess running to get it is the only thing I can do...~
Her pink and white skater sneakers pounded the cement of the street with a disjointed rhythm as she dodged in between the parked cars on the side of the street. She reached the ancient stone archway that graced the entrance to the park, a shock ran down her spine. A feeling, like ice cold water, drenched her body, though she lay dry. Motes of light danced about her as the world around her darkened and faded away.
iHello?..................What's going on?..............Kero?...Yuki?...Anyone?!?....../i
A flash of bright light before her made her shield her eyes with her hands in an effort to stem the radiance. Slowly the light opened, like a window, and she began to see visions, flashes of unknown memories crossing her mind. It was as if, for the first time in her life she was living from birth and that these images that flooded her mind was the whole story of this life, from anew to the aged end. Right then Sakura's mind changed forever, she began to see a future, a possibility, a truth that might happen.
iI will.............I want to feel............................a good future..................and...........................the love.....?/i
*~*~*
Yukito watched her run towards the park as if someone was dying. He stood up quickly and begin to run after her, his long legs picking a pace that quickly brought him close to her. "Sakura!" he yelled,"What's wrong?" He saw a feather that was drifting near Sakura's feet. But she stood still, like a statue of cold stone, the feather lay unnoticed to her. ~What is wrong with her? She won't respond. ~
He ran to her side and she didn't even twitch or move in response. He looked all around, trying to piece together this strange situation. All he could see was normal, the ancient archway, trees, park benches, and leaves swirling in the wind.
"Sakura, please say something! Please..." he stuttered out almost pitifully. He saw the feather out of the corner of his eye and he stooped to pick it up. But the second his fingers made contact with the feather, Yue woke up within his mind.
Yue woke slowly at first, but his thoughts, however secret the were to Yukito's, immediately began to sift through Yukito's memories, searching for one thing, one image. He found it quickly and was a bit blown back by the single image. ::No...it can't be. Then my long search is over...::
((A.N.(authors note): Yuki is unaware of Yue's presence. He only knows that something is very different.))
Yukito shook his head with confusion and carefully held the feather as he returned to Sakura. As he gazed into her unblinking and distant gaze, Yue mentally twitched within Yuki's mind. ::How I've longed...:: Yue said quietly. Yukito scratched his head and tried to organize his thoughts as 'felt' the twitch in his mind. ~Somethings up, and I want to know what.~
Yukito gently grabs Sakura's shoulders and gives her a soft shake. "Please, where are you? Wake up, little cherry blossom." he said in an increasingly panicked voice, his control over his emotions and his voice lost. He gathered her still form in his arms and began to carry her carefully back to her home.
*~*~*
Sakura's mind was in a mental traffic jam, too many memories, too many thoughts that weren't her own. Slowly, carefully, and forcefully she began to push it back to hold it all in bay. Slowly the stream of consciousness and ebbed, then slowed; and, after what seemed to be a century in her mind, stopped.
iWhy? Is this some................test?............Why.....do I have.......these memories?......../i
Slowly the white nova of light faded, and the pain of the searing light of memories disappeared. Vague forms began dancing and shifting in the darkness that surrounded her and took shape. Her eyes blinked and the forms took a drastic reality within her mind.
Houses, fences, and yards passed by. Strong arms held her body in a gentle embrace, she realized slowly that she was being carried like a fragile child. She shifted and moved slightly, trying to untangle her legs, and that caused the person who carried her to stop suddenly.
"Saku.....ra..." a disjointed voice said as her head began to ache horribly. ~That has to be Yukito...Yuk..iii...~ her thoughts wandered a bit aimlessly.
"Sakura....you....alright?"
She nods, but quickly stops that motion as it caused a fresh wave of throbbing pain to her over crowded mind. A groan excaped her lips as she shifted her painful head.
Yukito's hand comes to gently rest upon her forehead as he tries to calm her, hoping that he could get them both to her house quick. He approaches the gate to her house and steps through the door after fumbling with Sakura and the spare key that he knew resided above the door molding ~Couch...tea...painkillers...~ he thought, making a list in his mind as he kicked off his shoes at the entrance of the house. He stumbled under his burden a bit and finally made it to the front room. He set her down gently on the soft white couch and looked down into her vauge and lidded gaze.
*~*~*
Sakura sighs as the rocking movement ceased, giving her pounding skull relief. She mutters,"Yuki? Something strange happenend... Why...? Why do I remember so much?"
Yue inwardly smiles as Yukito frowns,"Remember? Strange? I'm not sure what your saying."
She shifts a bit so that her head was propped up on the arm of the couch. "I don't know what to say of it. I guess I'm going to sort it out, the things I remembered."
Yukito only shakes his head in confusion and sighs,"I'm just going to nod and say yes, for I have no idea what to say."
Sakura laughs a bit and feels the edge of her headache go away. She sits up further, feeling her strength come back, and pats Yuki on the shoulder. "Don't worry Yuki, I think I will be fine now. I don't know how to explain what happened, but I think it was a good thing." she said brightly.
Yukito smiles warmly and stands up. "I made some tea, would you like some?" he murmured ::Such a brave spirit. How gentle she seems, yet all of that courage is contained within such a small body...:: Yue thought.
Sakura nods and rests back on the couch, but then bolts back up with panic. "Where is my feather?!? Did I lose it? I need to go back..." she exclaimed as she struggled to get off of the couch and head towards the door. ~Why do I care so much about it? Something compels me towards it...something makes me feel alive when I touch it.~ she thought but was pinned by Yukito before she could make it to the door.
"Do not worry Sakura, I found the feather when you were standing under the archway." he said as he picked it up from the table with the one hand that wasn't restraining her and gave it to her. After a moment he released her and he asked,"Why does it matter so much to you?"
Sakura takes the feather and sighs with relief. She looks up at Yuki and her expression becomes clouded. "It comforts me...ever since Sayoran died..." she murmured.
Yukito looks into her eyes and sees the confusion and great sadness within them. He reaches forward and gently touches her cheek. "But you will never be alone, Sakura. You have your father, and your brother..."
She stops him with a sad expression. "What about you Yuki? You've always comforted me and been such a good friend. You are important to me."
Yukito smiles and small blush radiates on his cheeks, coughing he turned away and hid his smile as he awnsered her,"I am glad that you think I am important. You are too, for me, in a way also." He coughs again as he begins to get a little flustered. "Well...anyway. I think I should go now so that you can get your rest." He grabs her cup of tea and some pills for her headache off of the counter from where he had left it and sets all of it in front of her before he set out for the door. He put his shoes on and was about to leave with a single good-bye but Sakura stopped him for a moment.
"If I needed you, would you come? If I'm scared or something like that... Would you?" she said in a little kid scared voice.
"I would always. All you have to do is call me..." he said with a warm smile and left the house before any more could be said.
*~*~*
Sakura huddled on the couch for a while, but finally took the medicine to relive the last bit of pain that plagued her head. She sits there for a minute and sighs as she thinks, ~What a fiasco... But, maybe I should think, or remember, some of that stuff that I...absorbed...~ She sat back and was about to delve in her memories when a yellow missile came from nowhere.
"Saaaaaaaaakura!!!" it wailed,"Where've you been! I had to wait upstairs until pretty boy left! You had tea without me!"
"Hello Kero...I'm glad your awake." She said with a smile as the little guardian came to a hover inches in front of her nose. "I have a lot to tell you about Kero... You might be able to awnser some of my questions." She murmured.
"What might that be? More bad dreams? The presence of Clow???" he blabbered on as he crossed his little arms and assumed a cute thoughtful position with one tiny eyebrow quirked.
"Two things have been getting to me. One, this feather I found in my bedroom last night seems almost to be alive. It comforts me and gives me hope, in some way, when I'm sad." as she said this she held up the beautiful silver and white feather for Kero to see. He took a good look at it and sputtered.
"That looks like..." he said, but stopped himself. ~I can't tell her who that feather belongs to...she has to pass the judgment unknowing...~ he thought fervently as he continued almost flawlessly,"...n-nothing I've ever seen." Sakura glares at him with suspicion but decides to spare Kero from her wrath. She continues on with her story.
"The second thing is that today, I bumped into Yukito and I dropped the feather on accident. Well, I went chasing after it, and as I was running under the ancient stone archway of Heron park I was stopped by this unknown force. I saw nothing but darkness and light, and soon, this opening of really bright light flooded memories of this other life time into my mind. After a while I finally woke up in Yuki's arms as he was carrying me home. I had the worst headache when he was taking me home." She glanced at Kero and found that his jaw was dropped.
"Woah...that only happens to really powerful masters of magic, you know, Sakura. What you just experienced was a possible future for your own, and normally that doesn't happen to people unless they have great need to know the possibilities of future actions. You have memories of another life of you... Um... Now I'm confused..." Kero said as he scratched his head and sighed with defeat.
Sakura sighs and sees without precognitive abilities that this conversation wasn't going to get any further. She looked at the clock and found that is was almost time for bed. ~Wow, my sense of time must be out of wack lately.~ she thought with a shrug. "Kero, I need some sleep, lets talk about this tomorrow." She sighed as she stretched her pink clad legs and walked to the stairwell. As she looked up she had a vague flash of memory...~A beautiful stair case...mahogany railings...pictures of people with dark and light color hair...~ she whispered in her mind as she paused for a moment,~Christmas lingers in the air...~
She shakes her head and lets the images clear away from her mind. She scales the stairs, reaches her pink lily covered door and opened it. Donning her pajamas she settled down as Kero stole into the room, grumbling loudly, and took his customary spot in the sock drawer. "Couldn't even wait for a snack..." he grumbled.
Sakura smiles vaguely and feels the heavy coins of sleep drag at her eyes as she willingly closed them in search of sleep. She huddled under her warm comforter as her body finally settled down; but her mind sensed something strange...a great spell...of sleep? She struggled against the spell and succeeded in barring it with her aura. She feigned sleep so that she would be safe momentarily. ~Who is this? I just know Kero's out like a light...I might as well face my adversary.~ she thought quickly. She opened her emerald eyes and was greeted by those of silver that widened with surprise...............
