Helloooo... sorry for long delay. But I promise I'll make a Christmas special, actually I swear it. I'll start writing it right now ;
"My name is Tatiku," the young thief said meekly
"Bah, I don't give a damn what your name is!" Syaoron was still really pissed off.
"Please! Listen to my story! I'll explain my situation, and my father's need," Tatiku said in a pleading voice.
"Her words sound true, unsensitive Syaoron," Eriol said more to himself than to the others. "Maybe we ought to hear her out."
In another tall castle, not too far from Tatiku and the others, stood a young man of 18 and a black Kero look-alike.
"Are you really so naïve, dear Eriol? So blinded by your own memories, that you cannot see my dear Tatiku's story?" He gave a shake of his head in a manner of victory, his black cape swirling around himself.
"When do we begin this, master? I do indeed wish to destroy that… that copy of me!" the black Kero shuddered so disgustedly.
"All in good time, Lero… all in good time…"
"Did she literally have to ROB ME? Even before you forced me to give her one hundred yen!" Syaoron had been robbed in his manner of thought.
"She had no choice, and she didn't rob you. You gratefully handed it to her," Eriol said brightly.
"You and your accursed magic! You gave me like, generosity or something! Why did she have no choice? And you still owe me that duel!" Syaoron shouted angrily.
"She had a father on the deathbed."
"Why?"
"He was sick."
"Why?"
"Honestly, Syaoron! Do you ever listen to anyone but yourself?" Sakura was really ticked off, and it was beginning to show.
"I prefer first handed answers! And I just really don't believe that girl," Syaoron finished in his way of thinking.
"Well, you better start acting a lot nicer! We're meeting her at the ice cream parlor, tomorrow!" Sakura thought that Tatiku was very nice!
Syaoron froze. No! It COULDN'T be! Would destiny replay its self again? Two lives were already complicated enough!
"Uh… ice cream place?" He was afraid to hear the answer.
"There is… only one around here," Sakura said slowly. This is not that badass boy of 19 from before…
Crap, this is fear. It cannot possibly be… love. Syaoron had thoughts racing through his mind.
"Well now, dear Syaoron! It's alright that we're going to where your last life ended isn't it?" Eriol smirked casually and spoke in a mocking way. How very unsensitive…
"Ended? Eriol, Syaoron, will you just tell me what happened!" Sakura was a little frightened.
"NOTHING OKAY! I just woke up feeling sorry for you!" Syaoron was obviously not about to confess his gentle side, especially with Eriol right behind him.
"Aww… touch aren't we, Syaoron?" Eriol was enjoying the tense situation.
"Shaddup you… senile, camboozled, pompous FOOL!" Syaoron yelled angrily.
Suddenly Eriol snapped up at alert attention.
"Sakura! Something is amiss at the Penguin Park!" Eriol grabbed his coat and slipped it on.
Sakura nodded and picked up the phone.
"I have to get Tomoyo," She explained to a doubtful Eriol, "I promised her," Sakura said in a finished tone.
"What?" Syaoron was not near the verge of memory recovery.
"Just put these on, bring these, remember the words 'Ofuda Paper' and follow us!" Eriol stuffed a green chinese combat hat on his head, a little lopsided too, and threw a green cloak and pants over his hat. Then he stuffed a bunch of ofuda papers into his mouth.
"Mfghy! Yoghysui!" Syaoron yelled angrily, although a little muffled through all the papers and clothing.
IN THE KINOMOTO HOUSEHOLD
"Alright! Evil Touya is in college, Fushitaku is working at the University, and the brat,senile old Eriol,and Sakura are out in the wild! ALL THE SWEETS FOR ME!" Kero flew around the kitchen in a frenzy...
Ten minutes later, Tomoyo ( with her video camera ), a finally dressed Syaoron, Sakura, and Eriol stood at the Penguin Park
"Hey look! Spotlights," Sakura said happily.
"Remember we're here to find the trouble, and why are there spotlights?" Tomoyo was terribly happy that Syaoron was back! Plus, since he was memory past, she could fill his head with some ideas the normal Syaoron wouldn't have!
Apparantly the spotlights 'heard' them. They started to glower angrily and shined their heat and light upon them.
"I CAN'T SEE!" Sakura cried out in panic.
"NEITHER CAN I!!" Syaoron said equally blinded.
"I can see perfectly," Eriol said pleasently. He actually had a shield, although Syaoron and Sakura couldn't see it. Actually, they couldn't see anything!
"Well land a damn hand you fool!" Syaoron had no idea what they were doing at this park. Something about catching a card? Why can't they just grab the damn card and run!
Sakura was also feeling the same way, although she didn't say it. He has no sense of fear! It drives me insane!
"Oh alright... since you asked soooo nicely..." Eriol twirled the magic staff above him fancy-like, and shouted, "The Key that hides forces ofthe Moon!Show your true shape to me! I, Eriol, command you under the contract! Release, Darkness!"
The park became filled with darkness, and it became bitter cold and pitch black.
"ERIOL!! CAN YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT? THIS IS EVEN WORSE!" Syaoron waved his hands around his eyes, fearing he had become blind.
"Don't worry your little pants off. Watch and learn," Eriol said calmly in his nicely lit shield.
And true to the past Clow's words, the spotlights and darkness clashed, filling the park with normal lighting again.
"Go on, catch it Sakura, while it's stilll distracted!" Eriol was actually enthusiastic for once!
"Go on Sakura! And make it dramatic!" Tomoyo cheered on, still hoping to get a new copy of a film to send into the competition of young directors.
"But, it's not a Clow Card is it?" Sakura had plenty of questions to ask after this!
"Doesn't matter... just catch it!" Eriol was a little exasperated now.
"Fine... The Key that hides forces of stars! Return to the way you were ment to be, I, Sakura, command you under contract! Return!"
Eriol took the darkness away, and the card flowed back into Sakura's hand.
"The spotlight? Is this truly a Clow Card? I thought I caught them all!" Sakura was totally confused now.
Eriol studied the card and finally said, " It's just a cheap remake. It seems to be just a puny challange I guess," Eriol said with a shrug.
IN THE CASTLE
"A cheap remake? Well now, we shall see how you like my next cards. The Little Wolf and Cherry Blossom (A/N: little wolf is translated from Syaoron, and cherry blossom is Sakura) will have trouble. As I, the Memorier, will be sure you do!
NEXT DAY...
"Syaoron stop stalling! What's with you," Sakura pushed him to the bathroom in the apartment.
"I don't think we should go. Let's just invite her to come here," He said brightly in a fake cheery voice.
"I thought you didn't like her! In that case, I'll go call her!" Sakura bounced to the living room.
Phew...
"So who lives here?" Tatiku asked curiously.
Sakura and Syaoron looked at one another. Syaoron didn't have a clue that it was his apartment!
"Me," Sakura said.
"Me," Syaoron said, at the same time as Sakura.
"I mean it's not me," They said again at the same time.
"I see... you're both living together! how sweet," she said in a mushy tone.
"NO WE AREN'T!" They looked helplessly at one another.
"Sure," Tatiku said with a wink.
"Uh... I'll get the tea," Syaoron said in a small voice, getting up to go to the kitchen.
He put the tea pot on the stove and said, " Okay... what do I do now?" He looked at the stove and thought helplessly. He had never had to make his own tea! He had maids and cooks to do that!
Oh yeah... I need water...
He took the pot back and filled it with tap water.
Now was it supposed to be tap water? Or do I boil the tea leaves first...
He took a look around... tea leaves...
Ah, there they are... maybe I boil both at the same time? Sure... It'll probably save me some time too!
He put the pot with water and tea leaves in it back onto the stove.
Okay... turn on the stove... something about gas and this knob here...
He checked the stove. A bunsen burner type...
Oh yeah, that's gonna work well...
The stove only went onto medium, so he just took a look around the apartment. He came upon a room that actually looked lived in at a point. His room.
The dark bluebed sheets were all made, the pillows all aranged nicely, and a patchwork of a wolf above the bed. (A/N: Imagine it like, the room is not just one big square. where the bed is, the celing above it is sloped down, like a slide.)
Syaoron took the patch and studied it.
Not bad. Not like anyone I know can do it. I wonder if I did it! Hmm...
He placed it back and sat at the desk.
OOoh... a journal. Hm...
He flipped it to a random page, and out fell a letter. He read it to himself and made several comments...
Syaoron Dear, (Since when was it NAME, then DEAR?)
I have heard of an accident. Not suprisingly you aren't dead. (Is this woman mad?) Well, you maxed out my credit cards again on who-knows-what (Hahahah... I bet I splurged on some fancy junk...) Hopefully you will come back to Hong Kong when you read this letter... The Clan Grandfather is quite upset indeed. (Grandfather?) If you have read this letter, call me back. You know my number, and make sure that the Cherry Blossom remains safe.(Why?)You know why. (oh. Well that doesn't help...)
Sincerely,
Your Mother. (egad!)
Syaoron put the letter back into it's place, and picked the journal up again, flipping through the pages.
Hm. This isn't my diary. This is... SAKURA KINOMOTO? Who has a last name like Kinomoto?
Oh my gosh. I knew it. I knew Syaoron would do something foolish! And it's all my fault! I... never got to tell him how I feel. What if I never get another chance? Oh please, power of the cards! Help me!
"Intresting entry...," Syaoron said slowly.
"What's taking you so lo-," Sakura froze in midsentance, flipping her eyes from the open journal in Syaoron's hands to the calm and cool face of Syaoron.
"Just... looking. I haven't read a word if that's what you're thinking," Syaoron said normally.
He probably wasn't... He looks to calm for that.
"Well, come on then... We're going to go bowling or something with Tatiku." Sakura motioned for him to follow.
"Oh cool! I'm totally great at bowling," Syaoron said in a boasting voice.
wooooh! a pretty long chappy, if i say so myself ; anyway, review review!
