Chapter Thirteen: The Forgetting Again

Sakura cried into the chest of the man Rastael said could never love again. Finally she rediscovered her feelings and he'd never love her back again. He slowly bled in her arms.

A voice sounded around them. "This is why I had to forbid you from sharing your feelings with him, Sakura," it said. Sakura stood up quickly and came face to face with herself. But, her other self was wearing a long pale green robe and had light green feathery wings.

"Who are you?" Sakura asked as she stared at her double.

"I am Rethasa," the woman said with a smile. Sakura dropped to her knees.

"Then he wasn't lying to me?" she whispered as she laid a hand on Syaoran's slowly breathing chest.

"No he wasn't. You held me in. I couldn't be released until you caught the ten escaped cards," Rethasa said.

"But I've only caught nine," Sakura countered uncertainly.

"And in order to catch the tenth you will have to bind e and the rest of the Guardians forever. You and the others won't remember anything."

"No!" Sakura cried. "I had to live with forgetting once! I'm not forgetting him again!" she exclaimed as she shielded Syaoran's body with her own.

Rethasa looked down at her sympathetically. "It's the only way, Sakura. Save the world." Sakura cried into Syaoran's blood soaked shirt. "He isn't going to live anyways if you don't bind us."

"May I leave clues for myself and my friends?" Sakura asked with tear stains running down her face as she stared longingly at Syaoran's dying body.

"You may leave ten kinds of clues or information that you wish for yourself or your friends to have. And you will each carry a bell around your neck when you awake. The bell will have your Guardian's name on it," Rethasa explained.

"I'll tell you what I want to leave then," Sakura said. Rethasa nodded grimly. "Leave seven sets of pictures with all of our names on them. One set for each holder of the Guardians. Leave the school information cards for Tomoyo, Meiling, and myself to be at the same school. Leave a picture of the entire Li family with names on the back for each Meiling and Syaoran. Leave this house for Rastael's human form. Leave a picture of our family for Toya and myself. Eriol can have a framed picture of him and Tomoyo together. Leave my outfit that Tomoyo gave me when we went clubbing for her. Then leave the cell phone Meiling gave me with her," Sakura instructed.

"You still have two more items," Rethasa said emotionless. Sakura gazed down at Syaoran who had stopped breathing. "He'll be alive. But he won't be able to show emotion at all," Rethasa said as she followed Sakura's gaze.

"I know," Sakura choked and her eyes watered up. "Leave him a necklace with a cherry blossom pendant on it. If I know him well enough, he'll wait for a girl named Sakura."

"You will keep your names. People will find you and help you. The rest of your memories are dependent on your clues."

Sakura swallowed and looked out the window. Her fingers slid over the necklace around her neck. The old woman's voice resounded in her mind. "May it show answers in confusing times…"

"I want to leave this locket for myself," Sakura said. Rethasa nodded.

"It is time, Sakura," she said and stepped back. Sakura chanted the spell and her staff appeared in front of her. She gripped it and twirled it over her head.

"Mirror! Return to the form you were meant to be!" she yelled as tears escaped her eyes. Rethasa closed her eyes and slowly flew into the card. Then other forms started moving towards the card as well. First came a man with long blue hair and the two women from her dream next to the pond. They were followed by Rastael and another man. Then her eyes widened as she saw the form of Biketh rise from Syaoran's body.

Suddenly a searing pain shot through her. She saw a head emerging from her stomach. Rethasa emerged completely and turned to wave before diving into the card. Sakura collapsed.

"Syaoran…"

Author's notice:

I will not be updating for a few days at least because I have hit what most writers hit. A writer's block. Oh goodie. Believe me it sucks as much for me as it does for you not being able to read something.

I'll try as hard as I can to get some new ideas down onto paper and decide the way this story is going to go. This next part will be the ending to the story no matter how much I will want to do another plot twist. I seem to like those too much.

I'll update as soon as I can! Please review for me! :)
