there'll be a "MINOR" MINOR MINOR!! minor prod to uhm sakura/syaoron relationshipbut its just part of the storie. nothin visual xD


"Sakura!" Syaoron shot up from where he was. He felt fuzzy...

( The main point u need to remember is that, All that the story was, was what Syaoron was thinking in his mind. He happened to be in a coma, and you'll see why later in this chappy -)

"You've been in a coma, Syaoron..."


A coma? Did he blackout when Sakura di-, no, almost died? Was it possible? Was that why his body felt so... vulnerable?

"How did you survive?" Syaoron was still puzzled. He had witnessed it... the sword... plunging... it was to terrible to think of!

"From you," Sakura said quietly.

"Don't you remember? The Ghost of Clow, Cereberus, Yue, do you remember any of them?!" Sakura was starting to worry. He sounded mindless!

"But... but the masked ambushers! And Eriol," Syaoron was really confused.

"Uh... ambushers?" Sakura stood up and opened the door to let Eriol in. She could feel his presence.

"Ah Syaoron... I knew you were up. Time has flown since then." Eriol was speaking as grand as he had been in Syaoron's thoughts.

"Eriol! Tell Sakura about the QOMS! And CMS! You know, and Tomoyo too!"

Eriol lifted his eyebrow. He was acting weirder than usual!

"I'm gonna check into his mind," Eriol said uncertaintly. What on earth was he talking about? QOMS? CMS?

He flipped out a card and a key with a strange symbol on top.

"The Key that hides forces of stars! Show your true shape to me! I, Eriol, command you under the contract! Release!" Eriol shouted, but not loud enough for the whole hospital to hear.

The key became a long black staff. Eriol lightly touched the card now suspended in midair, which Syaoron could now read, The Reader.

Suddenly Syaoron could see his very own 'life' flashing in different scenes randomly. It was like watching him... in another perspective. Yup, there was him that time when he had chicken pox... the time when he wanted to become a ninja and hurt a bully for the first time, and when he had first seen Sakura...

"JUST WHAT WAS THAT?!" Was this some sort of trick?

(Sakura had been reading Eriol's mind, meaning she could also see this.)

"Just what was that?" Sakura was about to go into hysteria. Did he remember when... well... then?

"Well, witnessing from it all... I would say, well it is probably a different life." Eriol was always so blunt!

"Well, what kind of life," Sakura asked impatiantly. The only card she really needed and didn't have was a Patience Card. Eriol only replied to what was asked, and it was infuriating!

Eriol gave a sigh. Innocent little Sakura.

"I mean like, the life we would live. Without any more Clow Cards, and well... darkness. Evil..." Eriol absentmindedly twirled his staff with perfect balance that took Sakura years to achieve.

Talk about blunt, Sakura scoffed.

"How did the world become dark?" Sakura was nearing the end of her patience again.

"Well, it was either you and Syaoron failed or something. Or if Syaoron failed to save you," Eriol acted as if this was some casual matter that happened every day!

"WHAT?!" Sakura jumped up.

"So, Syaoron was holding the fate of the world by saving me?" And she had wished she was Syaoron instead of her!

"You guys are all talking about this Clow things, and... me saving you? What are you TALKING about!" Syaoron had always had worse patience than them all.

"I don't even know why I was in a coma, that... that magic trick, or what Eriol is doing away from QOMS!" He had never been this frantic!

"Hoeeeeee???? Magic?! You were ALWAYS the one saying this is not magic, this is protection and defending!" Sakura comically held up a finger, quoting a phrase that Syaoron had once said. (Author: actually, I made that up, but ehehe...)

"When did I say that? Anyway, what do you mean that's not my life!" Syaoron asked grumpily. If that wasn't his life, then what was?

"I guess he lost his memory too." Eriol smiled. Maybe his martial arts were also no more, and he could defeat him!

"Gee what gave you that idea," Sakura asked sarcastically, sweatdropping.

"Just the fact he can't remember what his life is. Let me clue him in," Eriol smiled. He stood up and put his staff away.

That guy has one freaky smile... its like he sees into you!

"Hmm... I hope this doesn't come as a shock to you, but, your selfish, a Li Chosen One, you've been collecting Clow Cards with Sakura all your life, and gave your life to save Sakura. I think that's enough to wake him up," Eriol said pleasently.

"Uhh huh... and so I'm in a coma for this?" Syaoron didn't really belive anything yet.

"Ohhh!! And you have a CHILD! Sakura and your's daughter!!!" Eriol jumped up enthusiasticlly, unlike his regular self.

"WHAT?!!" Syaoron jumped off the bed in a fright. Did he actually uhm... well...?!?!?
