Hey there! Well, I finished this a little sooner than I expected. I still can't believe that I was able to update sooner than I originally expected.
Sakura-rika-nonaka: Thanks so much for the review that you sent in. It's been a while since I last heard from you. Thanks for your continued support. I appreciate it very much.
Onigiri Momoko: Well, Sakura has a long way to go before she truly recovers all her memory. I hope you stick around with me to find out just how she and, of course, with Shaoran, find a way to do that. I can't say if Sakura'll be remembering who that person is but. . . well. . . let's just wait and see. Even I don't know. . . seriously. . .I'm working to find a way not to complicate things. . .or was it the other way around? Well, anyway, cest la vie. . . (was that the right spelling?) Anyway, I hope you find this chapter amusing.
Vi3t BaBil: Hi! It's the first time I've heard from you. I do hope that you continue this journey with me as the story unfolds. It would be really nice to share the experience even though we don't really know each other. But I guess it's better than being alone. Anyway, thanks for the review you sent in. It gave me more determination to finish it. Hope you enjoy reading it!
Sweet-captor: Thanks so much for your review! I see that even though the story is not much, you still continued to read the next chapters. I thank you very much. I'm sure you're also a writer. I admit that I haven't read any of your works but I'm sure they're also nice. Good luck from a writer to another!
Well, I know that this is long enough. I just want to show you guys how much I appreciate your reviews. I know that I'm not one of the greatest writers out there but I hope that my story at least amuse you, even a little. I won't keep this any longer and I do hope that you guys like what's coming up next.
Chapter 6 Breeze
Shaoran and Sakura arrived at the room.
There was a note at the table.
It was from Yelan.
It said, 'My children, I have just stepped out for a while. I'm heading home to talk to the elders and your sisters. It might take long because there will be other things I would have to do before I come back. Please don't wait up for me, especially you, Sai. You need your rest. Shaoran, (this past is in Chinese) watch over her. I know I don't need to tell you that. Touya said that during her stay in the hospital, there's a slight chance that they might have guessed we have brought her here so watch yourselves. (Already in Japanese) I will be back probably early tomorrow morning. With love, Your Mother.'
Sakura just sat at the bed.
"Is there anything the matter?" She couldn't help but ask.
She had noticed the sudden change in Shaoran as he read the letter.
She saw that he had grown more serious.
Shaoran turned to her. . . at first not saying anything.
"No. There's nothing. Why don't you get ready for bed and I'll stay just outside the door while you change? Tell me when you've finished." He said.
Shaoran didn't give her time to answer as he stepped outside the door.
Sakura sat there for a while more before finally started to change.
Outside..
'I should probably tell Kinomoto what had just happened. Mother wouldn't be back until tomorrow so it's up to me to do it tonight.' Shaoran reasoned.
He didn't like talking to Touya.
But he knew he had to since he was watching over his sister for him.
But Shaoran didn't leave his position because if something was to happen, he had to be near her.
Just then somebody approached him.
"Excuse me. Is this where Ying Sai Li is?" The man said.
Shaoran straightened up and looked at him suspiciously.
He could feel traces of power coming from the man.
"Who are you?" Shaoran asked the man with glasses.
He was tall and white and with a very pleasant smile.
"Oh pardon me. I am Tsukihiro Yukito." He said as he extended a hand to Shaoran.
Shaoran was hesitant from offering his hand in return but finally did.
But suspicion didn't leave him.
He didn't give way for Yukito to enter.
"He's ok Li. He could be trusted." Touya said as he approached them.
It was the end of his shift so he was already dressed in civilian clothes.
But Shaoran still didn't give way.
"What's your problem? I already told you that he's ok." Touya said in a hushed, annoyed tone.
"She's changing unless you want to just barge in." Shaoran replied.
Touya just shut his mouth.
"Shaoran it's ok to come back in." Came Sakura's voice.
Shaoran just stood aside to let them in.
The three men entered the room.
Sakura was sitting at the ledge, looking outside the window.
She had a calm expression in her face as she looked up the sky and at the stars above.
Sakura then turned when she felt that there were more than one person who entered the room.
She smiled slightly as she recognized Touya but then watched in fascination at Yukito.
"Hello Sai-chan. I know you don't remember me but I just came by to see how you were doing." Yukito said.
Sakura just smiled at him and replied, "Thank you. I'm sorry I can't remember you though but. . . yes, I do feel that I know you. . ."
"So how are you, Sai?" Touya then asked as he approached her.
Sakura just looked at him and then at Shaoran.
She was hesitant on telling him what had just happened at the rooftop.
Shaoran just gave her a nod.
Sakura then looked back at Touya.
Touya was her doctor and she knew that he had the right to know what had happened.
She just didn't know that Touya deserved more than what she thought.
"I. . . I started to remember something. . .but it's still vague and incomplete." Sakura said.
Touya just smiled and knelt in front of her.
"At least it's a start. When did this happen? Was it when you went out for some air?" He asked.
Sakura nodded.
Touya then stood again.
"Then I should encourage you more to go out if this is the case but it's not that possible for you to go out every other minute. You must remember that you had just come from a coma so you're still not that strong." He said.
"I know and I promise that next time I won't argue with Shaoran when he tells me that we should already go back inside." Sakura said.
"Why? What happened?" Touya asked in alarm.
He turned to Shaoran, with a warning glare.
Sakura noticed and quickly said, "Nothing! Nothing."
Touya turned to her.
She looked up at him.
"Having remembered something just had a toll on my body. I felt dizzy about it that's all. Shaoran told me that we should already head back but I asked him if we could stay a while longer because I thought. . . I might remember some more things. . ." Sakura explained.
Touya's expression calmed down.
"Promise me that you will listen to what your brother tells you." Touya said.
Sakura nodded.
"I promise."
"Are you feeling better though?" Yukito asked.
Sakura smiled and nodded.
Yukito started to converse with her.
He knew that Touya wanted to have a little talk with Shaoran.
Touya then turned to Shaoran and said, "Could I have a word with you outside?"
Touya then headed outside followed by Shaoran.
Once outside. . .
"So what did happen?" Touya asked.
"Weren't you listening to her? That was exactly what happened. We were up on the roof when suddenly she felt dizzy. Don't worry I caught her when she fell back." Shaoran answered.
"Did she tell you about her vision?" Touya asked.
"No. But judging from her expression, it had bothered her." Shaoran replied.
"I was expecting that but I wasn't expecting those things to happen this soon." Touya replied.
"What do you mean?"
"I showed you her results, Li. She suffered severe blood loss. If she had lost more, she would be dead by now. It's like we had just brought her back from the dead. In medicine, if a person develops amnesia after such an ordeal, especially when it involves severe emotional gravity, that person's memory couldn't be triggered this early even if she's exposed to something, somewhere or someone she's familiar with. Usually when amnesia is caused by great emotion, the person's subconscious mind wouldn't want to remember that quickly."
"Then what do you suppose this is? Is she faking it then?"
"No. She would never joke about this kind of things and besides I know her better than that."
"Then what is it then?"
"I don't know. Just look after her, Li. Something is bigger than what meets the eye."
Shaoran just shook his head.
Insideā¦
"I'm sorry I didn't get your name? Gomen. . . I just can't remember." Sakura said.
Yukito just smiled and replied, "It's Yukito, Sai-chan."
"Yukito. It sort of reminds me of snow."
Yukito gave a little giggle.
"Yes. My mom did get my name from the snow. . . yuki."
"That's cool and I do mean literally cool." Sakura replied.
Yukito giggled with her.
"So, how do you feel now that at least you've recovered a part of your memory?" He asked.
"Of course happy but I admit that I do feel frustrated and disappointed that I can't remember more." She replied.
"Don't worry about it to much. You know what, the less you think about it, the more it will come to you."
Sakura seemed a little confused about what he said.
Yukito noticed and smiled.
"My grandfather always told me when I was little, 'no matter how strong the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow down to it.' You are the mountain Sai. No mater how strong the outside forces are, you cannot bow down to it because I know you are stronger than that. Erase the worries from your mind because everything will turn out fine. Then, the things that were stolen from you by the winds will be brought back to you by the breeze."
". . . brought back by the breeze. . . I like that." Sakura said as she smiled at him in understanding.
"I knew you would."
"Now I feel more guilty that I can't remember who you are. You seem to know me a lot."
Yukito just gave her a gentle smile.
"Don't be. I may know you a lot but it's natural for you to feel that way. Think about it this way, now you know that there are a lot of people who care about you and that your past is really not that bad, now you have more reasons why you shouldn't give up recovering your memory."
"Thanks, Yukito. I will work hard and not submit to the powers of the wind." Sakura replied.
"That's the spirit." Yukito said.
(To be continued. . .)
Well, what do you think? Anyway, I do hope that it was an improvement to the last chapters. I also hope to hear from you guys soon. I really want to know what you think.
Michiko
