Hey, everyone! Chaos-chan here bringing you another chapter pretty quickly!
I thought I would have to wait for a little while, but I didn't have to!
Anyway, enough of me, lets get on to chapter 4!
*******************************************
"Welcome back, Sakura-chan!" a voice said from the left of them when they entered the building. Syaoran looked over. It was Naoko. Only she, like Sakura, looked different. Her hair was a little longer, if by only a little bit. She still wore the same old glasses, though.
"Well now, who is this, Sakura-chan? You can't have forgotten you- know-who, could you?" Naoko asked. Syaoran knew that Naoko was referring to the 'him' in this time when she said 'you-know-who'. Sakura shook her head.
"This is Syaoran! Just from the past!" Sakura exclaimed. Naoko looked at her like she was nuts for a moment then sighed with a dreamy look on her face.
"Time travel," she said with another sigh, "how great would that be? It would be really awesome! I once read a book about time travel..." Naoko continued to ramble on and on. It was Sakura's turn to sigh. She shook her head and motioned for Syaoran to follow her.
Sakura showed Syaoran around. They traveled deeper and deeper into the base, which was far larger than Syaoran had even begun to imagine. He wasn't quite sure how a couple of teenagers could have done all this. The base was so complex. Everywhere there were computers humming and machinery and all kinds of high-tech stuff Syaoran didn't even see in Star Wars. (A.N. Sorry! I still love Star Wars!)
"How did you do all this? It's so... amazing!" Syaoran ventured to ask when his curiosity reached its peak. This time, Sakura got the dreamy look in her eyes.
"Yeah... It really is amazing. This place does bring back some terrible memories, though," Sakura said, her face suddenly turning somber. Her eyes, once again, took on their dark hatred quality, which Syaoran didn't want to see. He looked down at his shoes and counted to 10, hoping that Sakura's eyes wouldn't be so mean when he looked back up.
"Syaoran? Um, are you okay?" Sakura asked. Syaoran looked up to see Sakura's eyes back to normal. Syaoran smiled and nodded at the girl. She shrugged and continued on the grand tour. Syaoran, anxious to see more, followed suit.
Several minutes later, they came to an office. The door was shut tight and it didn't look as though anyone was inside. The lights were off and no sound could be heard. Sakura motioned to the door as she turned the knob to go in. Syaoran nodded and followed Sakura into the door.
Inside the office all was dark and quiet. Syaoran couldn't understand why they had come in here, there was nothing. Being as dark as it was, Syaoran could no longer see anything. He walked forward and suddenly bumped into something; it was Sakura.
"Chiharu? It's me, Sakura-chan," Syaoran heard Sakura softly whisper. No one responded.
"Is it okay if I turn on the lights?" Sakura tried again. This time, she only got a slight whisper that said 'okay'. Sakura moved towards the door and felt along the wall until she found the switch. The lights were blinding for a moment, but quickly their eyes adjusted.
"Chiharu, I brought someone to see you," Sakura said softly. Syaoran stopped rubbing his eyes for a minute. There sat Chiharu, though she looked far different from the Chiharu he knew. Her eyes were even worse than Sakura's. They were empty pools of nothing; they were the eyes of someone who truly wished to die.
"No... you can't be..." Chiharu said in a low whisper. Now her eyes were fearful. Chiharu began to shake. Sakura ran to comfort her. Chiharu's shaking slowly stopped and she began rocking back and forth instead. Sakura looked at her friend with a deep sadness. Syaoran looked her with pity.
"Let's go," Sakura said sadly. Syaoran nodded and followed her out of the room. He took one last look at the girl before he turned off the lights and quietly closed the door. It was as though he was shutting the door to an insane asylum room. Knowing that she was already past the point of no return, Syaoran sighed and left the door.
"Sakura-chan!" came a more happy voice after they had been walking a while. Sakura tuned to see her friend Rika hurrying down the hallway towards them. Syaoran could also see a figure beyond Rika, also coming their way.
"Hey, Rika-chan!" Sakura exclaimed. She was so happy to see her. Sakura also noticed the figure beyond Rika and waved. Rika spun around to see who it was.
"Hello, Terada-sama!" Sakura yelled. The figure waved back.
"It's nice to see you again, Kinomoto-san," Mr. Terada said when he reached them.
"It's nice to see you, too, but how many times do I have to tell you to call me Sakura?" she asked. All three laughed. They looked so happy! Syaoran smiled.
"And, um, who are you?" Rika asked as she looked over at Syaoran. He smiled.
"An old friend," he said. Rika looked puzzled for a moment. Sakura, however, smiled.
"Well, it's been great seeing both of you, but we have to go," Sakura said. And with that, they left the puzzled Rika standing in the hallway.
"It was sure great to see them again!" Sakura said. Syaoran smiled but knew she wasn't truly happy. She hadn't wanted to come here at all. But the question was, why? *******************************************
So, how did you like it! Remember, if you don't review, I don't update!!! Anyway, so why do you think Sakura didn't want to go to see her friends? I know why, but I ain't telling! Anyway, I'm hungry, so I think I'll get some ramen! Love you all, Super Kawaii Chaos-chan!
