*******************************************
" Sakura-chan!?" Syaoran was completely shocked. His deep brown eyes showed it. With unbelieving eyes, he surveyed the girl before him.
She had beautiful brown hair, like Sakura, except it was long and tied in a braid. But, her eyes were different. They were still the same gorgeous emerald green as before, but something was defiantly different. Her eyes looked cold, as though they had stared death in the eye. Syaoran shuddered.
" Who are you?" Syaoran asked. She didn't answer. Instead, she stared at Syaoran as though she'd seen a ghost.
" It can't be," she whispered. Her voice faltered as she spoke.
" You can't be Syaoran-kun. You're... you're..." she stopped and didn't complete the sentence. Her eyes fell to her feet, as though she didn't want to say the words that crossed her mind.
" I'm what?" Syaoran asked. He wasn't sure that he should ask, but he did anyway.
" You're... dead," she said softly. The words came out quietly, but Syaoran thought there was an echo. He tried to speak, but no words came.
" Dead?" he repeated. This time, Sakura only nodded. Syaoran didn't understand. How could he be... dead? He tried to speak again, but his voice sounded hollow.
" How did I... die?" he asked with much difficulty. Sakura sighed as if she knew that this was coming. She looked up at Syaoran.
" Do you really want to know?" she asked. Syaoran took a deep breath and nodded.
" You were a member of our rebel forces, helping to defeat the robot armies," Sakura began. " You were fighting one of the guards. I tried to warn you, but it was to late. They surrounded you and... well, I don't know exactly what happened." Syaoran looked at her with an astonished face.
" They killed me?" he asked in disbelief. Sakura nodded.
" I couldn't do anything. All I saw was you, dead," Sakura said. She hesitated before speaking again.
" I wanted to die so that I could be with you. I never got to tell you how I felt," Sakura said with a slight blush. Syaoran blushed, too.
" Tell me what?" he asked. Sakura looked up at him for the first time since she started the story.
" That I... that I loved you," Sakura said with a sad smile. Her eyes lit up for the first time.
" I... I love you, or the Sakura from my time anyway," Syaoran said with a small smile.
" I didn't die, though. I was injured badly, so I was frozen in the Capsule, even though I didn't want to," Sakura explained. Syaoran thought for a moment.
" So that's why you're still the same age as when I left!" Syaoran exclaimed. Sakura nodded again. It all made sense now, or almost.
" But what about this Great Leader, or whatever?" Syaoran asked. A look of intense hatred came over Sakura's face. Her green eyes almost looked as though flames were alive in them.
" He or It was the reason you died," Sakura said in a snappy voice. Syaoran put his hands up to cover his face. Sakura looked at him for a second, then smiled and laughed.
" You laughed!" Syaoran said in utter amazement. She laughed again and gave him a light punch on the shoulder.
" Oh shut up!" she laughed. He smiled inertly. He had made the girl who had wanted to die with him laugh. He also began laughing.
"Well well. She does have a heart!" Syaoran exclaimed. Sakura gave him a sarcastic look.
" Yeah yeah, shut up!" she said as she rolled her eyes.
" Yeah, well..." but he never got to finish his sentence. Suddenly, a loud knock sounded on the door.
" Oh no! I totally forgot about that!" Sakura exclaimed as she jumped up. Syaoran looked at her.
" Forgot what?" Syaoran asked in confusion. She looked so panicked, but Syaoran didn't know why.
" I'll tell you in a minute! Get in that closet! Now!" Sakura commanded as another knock sounded at the door. Syaoran did as asked (or commanded). Suddenly, he heard a mechanical voice, along with Sakura's.
" THIS IS A REQUIRED CHECK. ARE YOU ALONE?" the voice asked. He heard Sakura reply that she was.
" WE ARE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR AN UNTIDENTIFIED PERSONAGE IN THE AREA. IF YOU SEE ANYONE, REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY," the voice said. Sakura replied that she would. Syaoran heard the door close. The closet door opened and Sakura stood before him. She sighed.
" What was that all about?" he asked. Sakura shook her head.
" Not now, my head hurts. Every time those stupid guards come I get a headache," Sakura explained. Syaoran looked at her and nodded.
" All right. Well, maybe you should sleep. You can answer my questions tomorrow." Syaoran said. Sakura gave him a grateful look.
" Thank you, Syaoran," Sakura smiled. She gave Syaoran a pillow and blanket and apologized for making Syaoran sleep on the couch. She went into the room on the right side of the living room.
" Good-night, my cherry blossom." ******************************************* Well? What'd ya think? * Yawn * I'm so tired! Sorry if this chapter seems, well, dull. My brain isn't working at the moment. (Not that it ever does work, but that's beside the point!) ^______^; Any who, please review! But remember, NO FLAMES! If you flame me, Super Kawaii Chaos-chan will be forced to kill you! (Just kidding!) Anyway, love ya all! Chaos!
