Chapter 14: I needed more

Syaoran and Eriol had settled down studying the clues they had. "Okay, We know Beak is a major record deal producer, and Jihochi's dad is a somewhere, and we know that Dad worked for Beak and Jihochi's dad, now, where did this other dude come from," Eriol exclaimed. Syaoran yawned.

"Well, I do remember something about a new employee, I think his name was Miyoko something,' Syaoran said. "Well, that's a start." Eriol said stroking his hands threw his hair. Syaoran was getting hot in his black and red kimono, the tea house was near the bath house and there a lot of hot water and stuff running there. A maid came in with there drinks with a smile on her face. "Sorry, it took so long, Ki was picking at the couch." She said. Syaoran nodded.

"It's so wonderful that your finally back Syaoran with your brother, Master Syaoran." She said smiling. Syaoran looked at Eriol who was blushing. "Eriol what the hell is your problem?" Syaoran said. "I was just wondering if your married," He asked the maid. "Yes," She answer feeling flattered. "They what are you doing here? you look like a model," He said. Syaoran rolled his eyes. "Oh, really" She said blushing. Syaoran looked at Eriol who was smiling. "You can leave now," He told the maid. She nodded and took the empty trap and walked away. "Eriol, what the hell are you thinking you have a girlfriend." He said nearly yelling.

"I know, it wasn't like I was flirting, man," He answered back taking his drink.

Syaoran sighed and leaned in his chair and sighed again. "What are you thinking about?" Eriol whispered. Syaoran's eyes went soft. Eriol made a funny grin. "Sakura right?" He said. Syaoran stood up making the chair fall. "Damn, I don't like Sakura!" Syaoran yelled. Eriol laughed. "Yeah, I'm sure you don't" Eriol took another sip of his drink and sighed.

Syaoran left the room and walked down the cool marble stairs with a strip of dark blue carpet. Syaoran ran his hand down the wall feeling like a child. When he was little he always ran down the stairs cheering when his father came home. Syaoran walked into the garden that was in the back. Syaoran loved going there is was so peaceful, and the smell was so sweet.

Syaoran walked over where he last talked to his Mother at the bench was like a swing and ever time he sat on it he could feel his sprit energy. Syaoran looked up at the sky and sighed.

"What am I to do?" He asked himself. Syaoran looked at the tree it was an apple tree and then an apple fell from the tree rolling to him, and for some reason it had a that same strange glow that he saw when he was in Japan. Syaoran pick up the apple but nothing happened. Syaoran looked at it even more and when he felt his body stiffened.

Eriol was at the entrance the garden and then he saw Syaoran. Syaoran fell to the ground not breathing. Eriol ran over. "Syaoran, Syaoran C'mon wake up, Syaoran!" Eriol said over and over shaking him furiously, But Syaoran didn't move.

Dream

Syaoran was back in the whole rewind of the past thing, but instead of rewind it was forwarding. "What?" Syaoran looked ahead and then everything stopped. "When am I back in Japan?" He said. Syaoran looked ahead and saw Sakura with Jihochi's Father, and then it rewinded to Syaoran Father. "Remember Syaoran, you can always find the answer at home, look for the symbol" Syaoran felt a sword go threw him.

End Dream


Eriol was still shaking him. "Syaoran stop it, this isn't funny," He said nervously. Syaoran gasped for air and blood ran down his cheeks. "Syaoran!" Eriol said shocked. Syaoran sat up choking on his blood. Syaoran whip his cheeks. "The symbol," Syaoran said turning to Eriol. Eriol looked confused. "What are you talking about?" He asked trying clam down.

"The family symbol, it's was a wolf and a dragon," Syaoran exclaimed. "It was in the main hall,"

"C'mon, I know where it is," Syaoran said pulling Eriol's arm. Eriol followed not having a choice. Syaoran and Eriol walked threw the garden and past the Bath house. Eriol gasped at the sight of the half burned house. Syaoran walked over to the small shrine and bowed giving his respects. Eriol walked over and bowed also respecting the death grounds of his family. Syaoran began walking to the house. Eriol followed behind Syaoran. Eriol stopped and fell to his knees. Syaoran stopped for a moment and turned to Eriol.

"I can hear them, Syaoran" Eriol said. Syaoran nodded. "I know, I can hear them too," Syaoran said in a serious tone. Eriol and Syaoran could hear the deadly screams of there sisters burning alive. "If we go inside we won't hear them," Syaoran said walking over to Eriol and helping up. Eriol nodded and tried to ignore that painful ear piercing screams of his sisters.

Syaoran and Eriol walked into the house seeing the symbol that Syaoran was talking about. Eriol grinned. "Well, what are we looking for?" Eriol said still looking at the symbol. "Well, I don't really know, just look for anything that looks useful." Syaoran answered. Syaoran walked to the symbol with Eriol following. "Well, did you sleep last night?" Eriol asked looking on the wall seeing if there was like some switch of any sort. "I think so, I had an odd dream," Syaoran said one his knees knocking on the wall.

"About what was it about?" Eriol said with an evil smirk that played on his lips expecting Syaoran to say something about Sakura. Syaoran stopped and looked up at Eriol. "Stop right there, I know what your thinking," Syaoran said. "C'mon Syaoran, you kissed her more then once and you don't like her, you know she likes you," Eriol said slyly.

Syaoran seemed a little shocked that someone could like him, he never really thought of himself as a very likable person since her was always so serious about stuff. "What is there someone else?" Eriol asked. Syaoran's bangs covered his eyes. "I almost got married when I was 13, her name was Gikiko Mikiloshu." Syaoran said. "That's a mouthful, " Eriol said with a small smile. Syaoran scoffed.

"She was okay, but she was really weird, she was into the dark magic's, and she wasn't a looker, my master said that I should marry her because of her power, what the hell kind of way to get married is that? Mom and Dad married out of love what makes him think I wouldn't." Syaoran said.

Eriol laughed. "I bet you towed her off,"

"I was still trying to master a two handed weapon, so I told her I would marry her if she could beat me in a battle of magic, I won, she was kinda broke up about it, about but a week later I saw her with this really weirdo guy," Syaoran said sitting on the floor with his back on the wall. "Wow, no wonder you don't like getting too close to people," Eriol said walking over sitting next to him. Syaoran smiled a little. "Not really, it's just I think I have some kind of curse or something," Syaoran said. "Mostly, I would run away, but I sick of running I'm ready to fight,"

Eriol smiled. "Well, that really doesn't answer my question, what was the dream about?" He asked once more. "Fine I tell you, but I don't remember much. I was in the water under a water fall and then a leaf fell next to me and then I saw...." Syaoran stopped blushing. "You saw what?" Eriol said. Syaoran sighed. "It was Sakura, she was in front of me smiling for some reason, but I knew why and I took her hands then the water and everything faded away and we were in the sky, and I woke up," Syaoran said blushing.

"Ohhhhhhhh!" Eriol said laughing a little playing punching Syaoran in the shoulders. Eriol stood up and began dancing and singing an Usher songs. "You got, you got it bad, oh God, you likkkkkkkkeeeeeee Sakura!" Eriol said laughing. Syaoran put his leg out tripping Eriol. "Hey, what the hell was that for?" Eriol said. "I don't like her she's just 'okay' and you if tell her or Tomoyo what I said I'll have your head on a sliver platter with an apple in your mouth like a pig," Syaoran said seriously. Eriol put up his hands in defeat.

"Okay no need to get all moody, damn." Eriol said. Syaoran stood up and walked to a half burned desk near the door. "Syaoran what are you doing?" Eriol asked. Syaoran eyes were wide and hand extended to the draw. Syaoran opened the draw and took a small key out. "I remember how to open it," Syaoran whispered.

Eriol stood there trying to make out what he was saying. Syaoran walked back over to Eriol and then walking to the wall. Syaoran stood next to a cracked flower pot and put the key in a tiny hole in the wall. Suddenly there was a small gust of wind then the wall moved to the side. Eriol smiled. Syaoran gasped looked at the spell books and weapons and there was a two little lockets.

Eriol picked up the lockets and opened them, it was the a small picture of the family with a little melody playing. It was the same music to Syaoran's family poem. Syaoran sighed shacking. Eriol handed on to Syaoran. Syaoran felt weak. Eriol opened the other one and it played the whole song. Syaoran sighed trying to fight back pain that was trying to take over and turn into tears.

"Syaoran?" Eriol said. Syaoran looked up looking at his brother. "Here, take this one and remember, I'm your brother, blood is thicker then water." Eriol took out a pocket knife and cut across his hand then handed it to Syaoran. Syaoran gulped and took the knife cutting his hand to. Eriol took Syaoran's hand and Syaoran his. "I'll remember," Syaoran whispered to Eriol understanding.
