Chapter 3: Old memories
PREVIOUSLY
'That's it!' thought Syaoran
"Eriol" said Syaoran seriously
"What?" asked Eriol
"You know that time yesterday at lunch when we overheard Sakura and Tomoyo's conversation?" asked Syaoran
"Yes continue" said Eriol
"Well don't you think it's a bit strange that a new driver just mysteriously came out for the race and the 2 girls were talking about going out somewhere that night and how Tomoyo joked about repairs? Don't you think it's a little strange that Sakura also drives like a street racer and maybe just maybe she was the girl last night" said Syaoran
Eriol put all the words Syaoran said into his head and thought about it for a while.
"Yea I agree with you, it's quite suspicious so maybe we should keep an eye on her because she might not be the girl we're looking for Syaoran" said Eriol
Syaoran nodded his head in agreement.
"Well let's go home" said Syaoran hopping in his car, Eriol following the same action.
NOW
"Thanks guys" said Meilin getting out of the car and heading towards a huge mansion about 5 times bigger than Sakura's and Tomoyo's.
"No problem, we're glad to help" said Tomoyo smiling cheerfully while Sakura just nodded her head with a tiny smile.
"Wow! Did the sun just shined or did you just smiled at me?" asked Meilin light heartedly when she saw Sakura give her a tiny smile, even if it was just a small one she was happy.
"So what are you up to tomorrow? Since it's the weekend and all." asked Meilin
"Sakura here is gonna go look for a job while I'm gonna go shopping, you wanna come?" asked Tomoyo
"Yea! I'll love to!" said Meilin with a big smile
"Cool! I guess I'll pick you up at 10:30 is that ok?" asked Tomoyo
"Yeah, that's awesome! Bye you guys!" said Meilin walking to her mansion
"Laters Meilin." said Tomoyo as Sakura drove off.
THE NEXT DAY
"TOMOYO GET BACK HERE!!!" yelled an auburn haired teen that was wearing a white tank top and a pair of light blue checkered boxers chasing another teen with raven hair wearing lilac colored pajama pants with a white tank top that had a blue bear on it.
"But Sakura why don't you wear a skirt today?!?! After all you do look much better in one and that is exactly what you need to get a job!" said Tomoyo trying to get away from Sakura while holding a pair of navy blue baggy's.
Sakura stopped running and stared at Tomoyo panting. 'She does have a point there' she thought while Tomoyo took this opportunity to run for her life.
"Fine" Sakura sighed walking back to her room slamming the door in the process.
"That's strange she actually listened to me" Tomoyo blinked a few times while heading up stairs herself.
20 MINUTES LATER
Sakura came out wearing a dark denim skirt that looks like it's been ripped on the bottom and there were a few frayed bits sticking out here and there. The skirt reached up to her mid thigh and she accompanied it with a black leather belt that had silver studs in them and chains. She wore a blood red bikini top and a black tank top over it. She had on her favorite red choker with silver spikes and some silver and black bracelets. Her hair was let down and she wore black eye shadow, black eye liner and some pink lip gloss. To top off the outfit she wore her black knee high platforms that has laces (not zips!).
"Ok Tomoyo I'm going I'll probably see you when this day ends." said Sakura heading out the door to her black WRX sighing in the process.
"Yep! Good luck with finding a job!" yelled Tomoyo from up stairs.
Sakura got in her car and drove off into the city of Hong Kong.
TOMOYO
"Hmmm what should I wear?" Tomoyo wondered out loud searching through her closet and draws.
35 MINUTES LATER
Tomoyo came out wearing a pair of tight hipster's jeans and a navy blue top with a white collar. On the top it had a picture of a play boy bunny. She blow dried her hair straight and she wore some silver bangles and a silver necklace. She had on some sparkling silver eye shadow and pink lip gloss. She also wore white Nike shoes to top it off.
Tomoyo ran out of the house and got into her silver Mercedes and drove to Meilin's house um I mean mansion (AN: Lot's of sliver stuff neh? Lol!)
BACK TO SAKURA
'Oh man! It's been an hour and I still can't find a job!' Sakura thought holding the newspaper in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other.
Then something caught her eye. It's a club called 'Secret' and they are holding auditions for singers.
Sakura walked into the club and saw some people trialing out and 3 other people watching them sitting on a table with a paper and a pen. 'They must be the judges' she thought.
Once the person who was currently on stage finished and headed off Sakura decided to have a try.
"Um excuse me sir but where do you sign up to audition?" Sakura asked politely
The man looked up from his sheets of papers and looked at her.
"Well just write your name here and go up there and show us what you got" he said
Sakura nodded and wrote her name on the sheet of paper underneath the others who applied.
Sakura made her way to the stage while thinking in her head what to sing.
"Ok so Ms Daidouji please start." said a lady eyeing her intently.
Sakura took a deep breath and just sang what came to her.
I tried to kill the
pain,
But only brought more.
So much more
I'm dying,
And
I'm pouring, crimson regret, and betrayal.
Sakura started to dance a bit, going with the flow.
I'm
dying,
Praying,
Bleeding,
Screaming.
Am I too lost to be
saved?
Am I too lost?
My God! My Tourniquet,
Return to me
salvation.
My God! My Tourniquet,
Return to me salvation.
The judges' eyes widen in surprise. She had an amazing voice.
Do you remember
me?
Lost for so long.
Will you be on the other side?
Will
you forgive me?
I'm dying,
Praying,
Bleeding,
Screaming.
Am
I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
Sakura thought that it'll be best to end it there and looked at the judges faces. Once she saw their facial she had to hide a smirk. They all looked at her with wide eyes and open mouths.
"So how was it?" she asked innocently.
"That was amazing!" said one with brown hair and orange with a mix of gold eyes. He recovered from his shock before the other and gave her a small smile.
"Yes I agree you are the best we've seen so far" said a woman with black hair with red highlights and sky blue eyes.
"I think we got our singer for this club!" said another man with black with brown highlights and sky blue eyes like the woman.
"Well that says it, you're hired!" said the man with the brown hair.
"Really???" asked Sakura
"Yeah!" said the woman
"When do I start?" Sakura asked
"Well we're having out opening night tonight since this club has just been built so you can start tonight. We'll give you the songs to sing for tonight. Can you come at 5 o'clock to practice though? The club opens at 7 and the performance will start at 8 till 9. Got it?" said the woman.
Sakura nodded her head in response
"Oh and by the way I'm Miaka Chang, this guy here points to the man with the black hair is my twin brother Akito Chang and the other guy there is Izumi Hikago a family friend" said Miaka
"How old are you exactly?" asked Akito
"17 years old, what about you? You guys look pretty young to own a club" said Sakura
"We're all 19, we transferred here from California and we had spare money left so we decided to open up our own club" said Izumi
"Oh ok" said Sakura
"Here are the lyrics to the songs you'll be singing tonight and the beat to each one of them" said Miaka handing Sakura a book with a CD.
"Thank you, I have to get going now I guess I'll see ya at 5" said Sakura grabbing her black small back pack and exiting out of the club.
"Wow she's hot!" said Izumi
"Yeah! Dang man!" said Akito
Miaka just laughed and started to get ready.
'Boys….' she sighed mentally.
BACK TO WHERE SAKURA IS
"Wow! I can't believe it! That was kind of easy" said Sakura starting up her engine and speeding off.
'Now where to go?? I don't want to go home yet hmmm maybe I'll go to a park' she thought heading towards the public park.
TOMOYO AND MEILIN AT THE MALL
"Oh my god!! This mall is so huge!" squealed Tomoyo filming all the shops with her camera.
Meilin sweat dropped at this.
"Uh yea" she said
"Come on what are you standing there for?!" said Tomoyo grabbing a hold of Meilin and dragging her to the nearest clothes shop.
"Umm ok" said a dot eyed Meilin
"Oh my god! That little girl is so kawaii! She reminds me of Sakura-chan when we were little!" said Tomoyo filming a small girl with caramel colored hair that was in pig tails and moss green eyes that were shining with happiness. She was wearing a pink frilly dress and sucking her thumb.
"Sakura? Like that? Yeah right!" said Meilin
"Believe me she was! She was one of the nicest, caring, naive and most open girl in kindergarten! Well that was till that day" said Tomoyo her eyes glazed over while remembering the past.
"Huh? What happened Tomoyo?" asked Meilin her face had an unreadable look but her eyes were full of curiosity.
Tomoyo gave a deep sigh and looked at Meilin straight in the eye. 'Should I trust her?' she thought but she had a feeling that she could trust Meilin so she decided to tell.
"Let's go to a café ok?" asked Tomoyo
Meilin nodded her head and followed Tomoyo towards Starbucks.
Tomoyo and Meilin took a seat at a table and Tomoyo began to tell her story.
#FLASH BACK#
Tomoyo and Sakura were playing in the back yard at Tomoyo's house.
"Catch me if you can!" giggled little Sakura.
"Aww come on Sakura! You're running too fast!" said Tomoyo panting
Sakura slowed down her speed so Tomoyo could catch up to her.
"Got'cha!" squealed Tomoyo as she pounced on Sakura
The 2 girls laughed as they rolled on the soft grass when suddenly a teary eyed Sonomi came running to them.
"S-Sakura may I speak with y-you please?" she asked
Sakura nodded her head and followed Sonomi out of the garden.
"Auntie are you okay?" she asked innocently.
Sonomi couldn't bare looking at the child for the disturbing news she was going to tell her so she tried to tell her in the most un-painful way possible.
"Um Sakura your mommy, daddy and Touya are sleeping now" said Sonomi quietly
"When will they wake up?" Sakura asked
"Well you see, they won't wake up…..they are sleeping peacefully in heaven" said Sonomi trying to hold back the tears.
Sakura tilted her head to the side.
"Heaven? Isn't that where people go when they don't wake up?" asked Sakura (AN: Remember she's 5!)
Sonomi nodded her unable to hold her tears.
Sakura's eyes started to water up as the realization hit her.
"I won't see them again will I?" she asked. Her bangs hid half her face so you couldn't see her eyes.
Sonomi nodded her head sadly and pulled Sakura into her arms.
"Sakura from now on this is your new home and your new name is Sakura….Daidouji" she said as she whispered the last part out.
Sakura could only nod her head in understanding.
3 DAYS LATER
A small girl dressed in black stood in front of three grave stones holding a beautiful bouquet of fresh cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, and nadeshikos with some ivy leaves here and there.
"Thank you for everything….but I only wish you were still here because without you I am lost….." she whispered sadly as tears trickled down her rosy cheeks.
She softly laid the bouquet down and quietly walked away from the grave.
She walked towards a black limo that was waiting for her but before she entered it she looked back at her beloved family once more before going into the vehicle and they drove off.
# END OF FLASHBAK #
"Oh my god…I never knew she had such a devastating childhood" whispered Meilin wiping a few tears that managed to escape her ruby eyes.
"That was the last time we saw the innocent and sweet Sakura and since then she trained herself to be a perfectionist. She was a straight A student, athletic, intelligent, mastered martial arts and she had her looks. She builds up a wall around herself so no one could get in and all these years her heart seems to be surrounded by ice. I only wish that someone could melt the ice around her heart once more and make her be her old self again. You'll think she's heartless but you just have to know her true self" said Tomoyo sadly
"You know what Tomoyo?!" asked Meilin with a smile on her face
"What?" asked Tomoyo
"I have a plan on my mind, a plan to get the old Sakura back" said Meilin as her smile grew bigger.
"And how's that?" asked Tomoyo raising an elegant eyebrow.
Meilin whispered the plan in Tomoyo's ear while she listened carefully. (AN: I'm not gonna tell you what the plan is! Because I have no idea what the plan will be! Lol! sweat drops)
After Meilin told Tomoyo the plan Tomoyo grinned from ear to ear.
"That idea is just GENIUS!" Tomoyo squealed with stars in her eyes.
"O-hohohoho! I can't wait to get everything on tape!" she said holding up her camcorder.
Meilin sweat dropped and fell down anime style.
AT THE LI MANSION
Eriol and Syaoran walked into a fairly large room where the elders were waiting. Once they entered they bowed in respect and waited in silence until the elders spoke.
"Have you had any clues of finding this girl?" asked one of the elders.
"We have our suspicions on a certain girl, but we're not positive if it's really her" said Eriol
"You must find this girl quick! Every hour that goes by the more her heart is growing dark! And that would not only endanger the Li Clan but the world as well!!" boomed the elder that was sitting in the middle.
"Have patience! We are trying the best we can! Put some thought in what we're doing for you! You aren't the ones who have to hunt down for some so called 'powerful' sorcerer! We don't even have proper clues for kami's sake!!" yelled Syaoran. He lost his patience on the elders a while ago with this.
"Li Xiao Lang! That is no way to speak to your elders!" said Yelan giving her son a death glare.
"Yes mother" said Syaoran through gritted teeth. He stayed quiet but kept glaring at the elders.
"Xiao Lang is right though, you must have patience on us, this task is not as easy as it seems" said Eriol
The elders looked at the two boys standing in front of them with blank expressions on their faces when suddenly the elder in the middle spoke.
"You have a month, the clock is ticking and we don't have that much time to capture this person before she turns to the dark side" said another elder
"You are dismissed, this meeting is now over" they all said in unison.
Syaoran and Eriol bowed again and headed for the door.
WHEN THEY ARE OUTSIDE
"I can't believe this!" growled Syaoran
"Don't worry Syaoran, we'll finish this mission in time" said Eriol with a calm smile.
"Easy for you to say" whispered Syaoran but Eriol heard it.
"Hey, why don't we go out into the city for a while to cool down? What do you think?" asked Eriol
All Syaoran did was grunt and stomped out of the house mumbling incoherent words.
"I'll take that as a yes" said Eriol smiling that mysterious smile of his and following Syaoran into his black spider.
AT THE MALL
Syaoran parked his car in the underground parking lot and got out.
"Let's go to Starbucks" said Eriol cheerfully.
"Whatever" said Syaoran walking to the elevator, followed by Eriol.
STARBUCKS CAFÉ
"So, why is Syaoran so cold?" asked Tomoyo
"Well, his father died when he was young and his mother was never there for him so he kept training his whole life and he blocked himself away from the world…….away from having a social life and friends" sighed Meilin sadly.
"Oh, I see" said Tomoyo sadly.
Suddenly Meilin squinted her eyes as if trying to make out something from the distance.
"Hey is it me or do those guys over there look like Syaoran and Eriol?" asked Meilin nodding her head to the direction of where the guys are standing.
Tomoyo turned her head to the direction Meilin pointed and saw a guy with messy chestnut hair and amber eyes and another guy with a slightly messy navy hair and mysterious sapphire eyes.
"Hey I think you're right, they do look like Eriol and Syaoran" said Tomoyo
Meilin took a hold of Tomoyo's arm and dragged her to where the guys were standing. As they got closer the guy's faces got clearer and clearer.
"SYAORAN! ERIOL!!" yelled Meilin when she finally noticed them and she sprinted towards them, still holding Tomoyo.
The guys looked at Meilin as if she was a crazy monkey that ran out of the zoo.
"What are you doing here?" asked Eriol
"I'm here with Tomoyo, we just had coffee" said Meilin happily with a bright smile plastered on her face.
"Oh, well Syaoran and I were just going to go into Starbucks" said Eriol politely his eyes glued on the raven haired beauty.
Tomoyo felt his gaze on her and began to blush as she fiddled with her purse.
"Do you mind if we join you then??" asked Meilin still with that bright smile plastered on her face.
"Of course, we would love to have two beautiful women accompany us" said Eriol leading them to the Starbucks café.
Syaoran mentally sighed in his head. 'This is gonna be a loooong day' he thought to himself.
AT THE PARK
Sakura walked down the concrete reading the lyrics to the songs she was going to perform tonight while the autumn breeze blew her bangs out of her face.
Her head phones piercing the silent atmosphere in the park as she hummed the songs while singing the words in her head.
'Man… this is going to be a long night' she thought to herself sighing.
And that's it for now, I hope you guys enjoyed that chapter. Stay tuned to Chapter 4: Whoever said I can't sing?
Preview:
"AHHHHHHHHH! YOU BAKA! WHY YOU HAD TO GO DO THAT?!" yelled the girl as she stared at her broken shoe in tears.
"WELL EXCUSE ME! BUT WASN'T IT YOU WHO TOUCHED ME FIRST?!" yelled the guy clutching his head in pain.
'And I always thought they were mature' sighed the guy as he stared at the scene before him.
'Man these people are stupid....' thought the raven head girl sweat dropping.
