Chapter 8: Memories Within
After noticing Sasuke is bleeding badly, Sakura decide to stitch the wound. She took out a needle and a special item and started stitching Sasuke's wound. It hurts a lot but Sasuke tried to resist the pain. Sayo too felt a little nervous, this is her first time. Even though she did it once in the school but it was a dummy. This time is real and if she does a mistake, Sasuke may lose his life.
After one hour, Sayo is finish. She takes a clean rag and cleans the wound. After that, she bandaged the wound. That time, Sayo blushes like crazy. After she finishes, Sasuke takes his shirt and wear it. Sasuke too blushes hardly.
"Thank you Sayo" Sasuke said, "Well…I own you one"
"…No problem…Anyway how you feeling now?" Sayo blushes.
"Better than the time you did the stitching" Sasuke glared at Sayo, "Hey, you sure you know what you are doing?"
"YES! I spend the whole day trying to save you and this is all I got?"
"…Sorry then but it really does hurt,"
"Anyway! About that meteor Shower. How did you"
"I don't know. It just came to my mind. I started to chant and…" Sasuke paused, "Tell me about your hometown. Todoema"
"It's Tomoeda! Well it is a nice town with nice peoples in school!" Sayo smiled
"School? What the heck is that?"
"It is a place which kids study. It is a nice place" Sayo looked down, because she misses her home.
"It sounds nice. I would really love to see it"
"One day, we will. But…is there a possibility?" asked Sayo sadly.
"… Forget what I ask. Anyway those cards, where you get them?"
"It belongs to my mother. She is a card captor,"
"Card captor…"
Sasuke is deep within his thoughts. He suddenly wonders who said that word to him before. He remembers someone told him about this. Someone deep within his thoughts but he don't know who and why. Sayo looked at Sasuke and she notice Sasuke look unpleased.
"What's wrong, Sasuke?" Sayo asked.
"Oh? Sayo, I am sorry. I am thinking"
"Thinking of what? Asked Sayo, "Your family?"
"My family…" Sasuke is deep within his thoughts again.
Right, who is my family? I can't remember. I am sure everyone had a family but where are mine? Are they worrying about me? Somehow I can't remember what happen in the past. Where is my Past Life? Sasuke thought
"SASUKE! WAKE UP FROM YOUR DREAM!" Sayo shouted looking at Sasuke.
"Huh? Sorry, Sayo…" Sasuke said looking a little sad
"You lost your memories?" asked Sayo, "You looked like you really wanted to know about your past life"
"Yeah…I wander who am I?"
"You are Sasuke! Anyway I f you lost your memories how do you know your name?" Sayo smirked
"If I am not wrong, someone else gave me this name but I don't know who and why"
"I think you are an orphan…"
"Explain to me why?" Sasuke said firmly, "I really wanted to know"
"You are fighting Kali alone. If I am your parents, I would ask someone to follow you!"
"You got a point but then this name…"
"Maybe your parents is died during a massacred and someone saved you"
"That someone why must he rename me and how I forgotten my memories?"
"Maybe during the massacred you were hurt and forgotten everything so he rename you"
"You might be right. I had used to have a scar but now it is gone"
"Prove enough but I don't know who rename you"
"…I don't know but I am sure he is a man with green eyes like yours"
"That's why you glared at me for so long the other time?"
"…Right, I know I saw the green innocent eyes before but I kind of forgotten"
Sayo turned silent, wondering who is the man with green eyes. Suddenly, a strong, cold wind blow passes Sayo's long brown hair. Sayo looked up the vast starry sky. She saw the scattering clouds block the stars and the moon. The night became darker as the dark cloud covered the moonlight from shinning. The thunder roars loudly and the lightning flashes it's Light. Sayo could also feel some droplets of water falling on her head. She knows that it's going to rain.
As soon as the second lightning flashes by, Sayo and Sasuke run to hide from the heavy rain. They sat under a big, wide tree and sit opposite of the big tree trunk. Sasuke looked at the rain and closed his lavender eyes while for Sayo she is shivering. She got wet and the gust of wind makes her cold.
"You are cold, Sayo?" asked Sasuke looking at the gentle raindrops.
"Well…yes…" Sayo said softly
"Need a coat? I have one in my bag," Sasuke asked again.
"…Please and thank you"
Sasuke stand up and take out a coat. Then, he walked towards Sayo, who is also standing up. Sayo takes the coat and thanked him. Then, the thunder roared loudly. Sayo was shocked and jumped on Sasuke. The jump turned into a hug and Sasuke blushes like Crazy. After a while, Sayo noticed what she is doing and jumped back, blushing.
"I…I am so sorry!" Sayo blushes.
"…Take the coat" Sasuke said throwing the coat at Sayo.
"…Thank… you…" Sayo wear the coat.
"No …problem…" Sasuke walked back to his place.
As the tree is in between them, they could hardly see each other. Sasuke is trying to get that feeling out from him. Sasuke never thought Sayo would hug him. Furthermore he hates it. It seem that hug is controlling his emotions. Sasuke looked up at the rain.
"Rain? It seem that the rain is not red anymore since 8 years ago" Sasuke said to himself.
"What is it?" Sayo asked as she overheard Sasuke's word.
"I saw the Rain of Blood 8 years ago" Sasuke said, "That was the time I hated the rain"
"You remember something?" asked Sayo, "That's great"
"Yes but it isn't a good thing to remember,"
"Why do you hate the rain?"
"It remind me of the bloody event," said Sasuke, looking down, "but now I like the rain"
"…Why?"
"I don't know but it helped me a little" Sasuke said.
Then, a flash of lightning wanted to hit the tree Sasuke and Sayo is sitting. Sasuke quickly stands up and reaches for Sayo's hand. He pulled him out from that tree in a nick of time. The tree was burnt. Sayo panted and signed. She looked at Sasuke and glared at him.
"Next time, tell me what will happen?" said Sayo.
"Yeah and make sure you get burn!" Sasuke shouted, "We almost got killed!"
"I forgot, my father said when there is a thunderstorm don't stay under a tree"
"Too late remembering! Let's find some other place to hide from the rain," Sasuke said walking away.
"Oh! I still don't get it why Sasuke liked the rain when it almost killed us and makes us wet" Sayo said softly.
They found a small abandon house and stayed there for the night. At least this time they won't get burned up. Sasuke make some fire for them to warm up and then went to bed. Sayo too did the same thing, since there's nothing to do when it's raining.
"…I really hate the rain!" Sayo complained softly.
