Hey y'all! Thanks for being patient. I realize I'm not the fastest cat-girl
in the world! ^____^ *wink* Anyway, I'm back with chapter 3! So enough
chatter! On to the third chapter! Yay!!
*******************************************
It was morning. The sun shone as brightly as it could through all the smog and smoke from recent fires. So in all, it was gray, just like it always was. Even if it wasn't gray, inside the apartment of Sakura Kinomoto, you really couldn't tell.
"Syaoran, get up," Sakura said as she threw a pillow at the dozing boy. He sat up and yawned.
"Time to get up a-a-all..." but he didn't finish the sentence as he failed to stifle another yawn. Sakura rolled her eyes at the boy.
"Same as ever, I see," Sakura whispered, as her look grew soft towards Syaoran. He looked puzzled, but didn't ask about the sudden change in mood. Syaoran got up and dressed, seeing that there was no shower to get clean. (A.N. Yes, she does shower, just not in her own apartment!)
"So, I get to ask more questions today?" Syaoran asked. Sakura sighed. She had known this was coming. She didn't want to, but nodded, anyway.
"But only a few, so think about the ones you really want to ask," she cautioned. Syaoran nodded and thought for a moment. After a few minutes, he was ready to ask his questions.
"Okay, what happened to Tomoyo and Eriol?" Syaoran asked. Sakura sighed again. She had also known this was coming.
"Well, Tomoyo survived the war, but she died giving birth to her daughter," Sakura said sadly. He expected her to cry, but saw no tears in her eyes as she continued.
"Eriol-kun is the father and is still alive. He's also part of the rebel force," Sakura said, finishing her answer to Syaoran's first question.
"Okay. What about the others? You know, Yamazaki, Chiharu, Naoko, and Rika?" Syaoran asked. He hoped that they weren't also dead.
"Yamazaki is dead," Sakura said with a sigh. "However, the others are alive, but don't mention Yamazaki to Chiharu, she's been in depression ever since he died." Syaoran nodded. He noted that Sakura seemed so much different. If it were the Sakura back in his time, she would have been in tears from all the terrible memories.
"So, umm, what's Eriol and Tomoyo's daughter's name?" Syaoran asked, wanting to get off the "dying" subject.
"Her name is Sakura," Sakura said. Syaoran wasn't surprised at all. Sakura and Tomoyo were friends. Well, not in this time, anymore.
Syaoran asked a few more questions before Sakura decided that she didn't want to answer anymore. Syaoran knew that it hurt her to talk about things that she had probably tried to push from her mind so very many times, but he needed to know if he was to get back to his own time.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently. Syaoran tried to grab something before he fell, but only succeeded in getting a large bruise on his shin from an end table. Sakura had fallen on the couch and was hanging on for dear life. Syaoran managed to also get up onto the couch.
"W-what's going o-on?" Syaoran said as he stumbled over the words. Sakura said nothing. After a couple of minutes, the shaking subsided and finally stopped. Syaoran sighed and watched, as Sakura stood up, not in the least bit shaken.
"What was that?" Syaoran asked. He looked at the girl for an answer, but found none. He sighed in frustration. Sakura shook her head and looked kind of surprised about the earthquake.
"Umm, does that happen often," Syaoran asked. Once again, Sakura only shook her head. Syaoran sat back down on the couch. What had just happened? It was... well, abnormal.
"We need to go to HQ," Sakura said urgently. Her emerald green eyes looked worried.
"You mean, we're going to the rebel base? Like in Star Wars?" Syaoran asked in awe. (A.N. Sorry! I love Star Wars!) Sakura gave him the you're-such-a-little-kid look. Syaoran sighed and looked down at his feet. Suddenly, Sakura smiled.
"Yes, Syaoran-kun. We're going to the rebel base, just like in Star Wars!" Sakura said as though she were talking to a small child. Syaoran scowled.
"That's not funny!" he said. Sakura laughed and Syaoran smiled a little. Soon, both were laughing.
"Lets go!" Sakura said, getting serious again. Syaoran nodded and followed her out the door and back into the same alleyway they had followed only the night before. They went the opposite direction of the street from which Syaoran had come. He followed her until they reached a dead end. Sakura pushed on a brick and a small door opened in the solid brick wall next to them.
"Come on. In here," Sakura gestured to the door as she stepped inside. On the inside was a more high-tech metal door. Sakura pushed a button and spoke into an intercom.
"Sakura hear," she said. She waited for a few moments.
"Please input entrance code," a female voice, much like Naoko's responded. Sakura pushed a few buttons on a number pad on the wall.
"Entrance code input," Sakura said into the speaker. More silence.
"Welcome back, Sakura-chan," the Naoko-voice said. The door opened, admitting them into the building. But, it wasn't what Syaoran had imagined, it was better!
"Whoa!" *******************************************
