Chapter Four: Watching Videos
"So what first?" Meilin asked, two tapes in her hand. She was in her pajamas, black pants and a red tank-top.
Sakura sighed. "Um…how about Blade Trinity?"
"A vampire show?" Tomoyo shivered. She was wearing a light blue frilly dress thing for pajamas.
Sakura couldn't understand why, but she hated to sleep in silk. Sakura however, wore a white tank-top and pink boxers for pajamas.
"I vote Blade Trinity too." Meilin grinned. "Lots of kick ass fighting there!"
"And Hannibal King is hot." Sakura giggled, hugging her pillow to her chest. She had agreed to stay the night with Tomoyo and Meilin at Tomoyo's house. Meilin had brought two videos to watch; Blade Trinity and The Exorcist.
Sakura did not want to watch the second movie.
"Okay." Meilin said. "Tomoyo looses. Blade it is!"
She walked over to the TV and popped in the tape.
Sakura checked her watch, almost midnight.
"I'm cold." Sakura said, hugging her shoulders. "Tomoyo, I'm going to grab a blanket from you closet okay?"
Tomoyo nodded and waved her hand dismissively. She was way too caught up in how Blade was killing all the vampires.
Sakura sighed and got off the floor, stepping past the TV and over to the closet.
Tomoyo's mother owned a huge store chain thing and for that her family was insanely rich. It amazed Sakura when she walked around the mansion, poking around in all the many rooms.
Tomoyo's closet was in the back corner of her very large room. Sakura slid it open, searching through the shelves and racks of clothes.
"There." She smiled, tugging on the thick purple blanket.
As she pulled it from the shelf, a box fell from underneath the blanket, falling to the ground, it's contents spilling onto the hardwood floor.
Sakura looked up at Meilin and Tomoyo, they hadn't noticed, they were too enthralled in how hot Hannibal King was.
Shrugging, Sakura picked up the box and started to pack the fallen things into it.
Tapes. Everything in the box was video tapes.
"Hmm…" Sakura said to herself, reading the labels. "First capture…Scavenger hunt…Sleeping Beauty, Syaoran and Sakura." Sakura gasped. "S-Syaoran and…me?"
Why couldn't she remember that?
There were dates on the tapes. "I was only ten."
Closing her eyes, Sakura tried to remember the play. Anything at all that she could remember.
But she couldn't.
The earliest thing Sakura could remember was her walking into her dad's library, and then…nothing.
It just cut off, as if someone had erased her memory, and then started back again that night when Sakura was on the roof of the Tokyo tower. She hadn't known Eriol and Syaoran then, but they were there.
"Um…I'm going to the washroom." Sakura said, hiding the tape of the play behind her back. "Do you mind?"
"Go ahead." Meilin said.
Sakura quickly slipped from the room, closing the door behind her.
Once safely in the hallway, Sakura rushed down it towards the living room. She'd watch the tape, Tomoyo's mother wasn't at home so Sakura could just watch the tape, get some answers, and go back upstairs.
The tape couldn't be that long, could it?
Sakura popped the tape into the TV and sat back as she pressed play.
"Hey Tomoyo!" A high, squeaky voice said happily. "The play's starting!"
"Shh Kero!" Tomoyo giggled. "Just watch." She turned on the microphone. "Once upon a time…"
The play went on and on about the story of sleeping beauty, until finally Sakura showed up on stage.
"Ah, it's the beautiful princess!" Sakura said, her voice lowered to sound like a boy. She was the prince. "I must kiss her and wake her from the spell."
As Sakura leaned forward to kiss the very redprincess, Syaoran, the lights suddenly went out and the tape went black.
"W-What's happening?" Tomoyo's voice was heard. "Kero?"
"Sakura! It's a Clow Card!" Kero shouted.
Tomoyo screamed and the tape was silent.
Suddenly all the lights went on again.
"Whoa." Tomoyo's voice came back on. On the screen it showed Sakura and Syaoran both standing on the bed. Sakura was jumping up and down shouting. "I did it! I got it!"
"She did it!" Tomoyo's voice said happily. "Go Sakura! I can't believe I missed another capture!"
Sakura turned off the tape then and popped it out of the machine.
"Oh…my God." Sakura breathed, staring down at the tape in her hands.
What had that been all about?
Kero? Clow Card? What were those things?
Tears sprung into Sakura's eyes as she dashed down the hallway back to Tomoyo's room.
When she walked in, she found that the movie was almost over, but Tomoyo and Meilin had fallen asleep.
Sakura sighed and walked over to the closet, shoving the tape back in the box along with the blanket.
"There's more than one tape." Sakura whispered to herself, running her hands along the many tapes, there had to be at least fifty, less. She turned to look at Meilin and Tomoyo to make sure they were still asleep.
"I'm sure Tomoyo wouldn't mind…" Sakura said. "She always shows me everything she tapes."
Why has she never shown me these?
Sakura pulled the box out of the closet and hugged it against her chest as she slipped, yet again, into the hallway.
"O-kay." She sighed, sitting down in front of the TV again. She ran her fingers along the tapes. "Earth Card." She shrugged and set the tape in the machine.
Sakura watched, wide-eyed, as the pictures flashed before her on the screen.
She watched the movies all night, not one movie was left un-watched. She saw things she never thought were possible. Magic, talking animals, etc. It was amazing.
"This was…what I did?" She whispered, tears streaking down her cheeks.
Why can't I remember?
Tomoyo woke early the next morning, startled to see that Sakura wasn't there.
"S-Sakura?" She said sleepily, sitting up from her bed.
"What's wrong…Tomoyo?" Meilin asked with a yawn.
"It's Sakura." Tomoyo said, getting to her feet. "She's not in here."
Meilin gasped and crawled out of her sleeping bag. "Where could she be?"
"I don't know…" Tomoyo said, her and Meilin rushing from the room.
They searched through every room, growing more and more frantic every moment.
"Tomoyo I found her!" Meilin voice shouted through the hallway.
Tomoyo sighed and rushed to where Meilin was, finally finding her in the second living room.
Sakura was lying, fast asleep, on the floor in front of the TV, video tapes strewn across the floor around her.
"Why is she down here?" Meilin asked, kneeling beside Sakura, resting her hand on Sakura's shoulder.
"Oh my God!" Tomoyo gasped, looking at the tapes. "She found the tapes…the ones from all her captures."
"But isn't that good?" Meilin asked. "She could remember better that way."
Tomoyo frowned but still looked worried. "I don't…know."
Sakura stirred then, her eyes fluttering open. "Hmm? W-What's wrong you guys?"
Tomoyo smiled down at Sakura. "You watched the tapes?"
Sakura sat up, looking confused. "Tapes? What tapes?"
"Oh my God." Meilin gasped. "She's forgotten…already?"
"Call Syaoran." Tomoyo said under her breath. "He has to know." She sounded, if anything, angry. "This has gone way too far. She saw the tapes and she still doesn't remember. Something has to be done."
Meilin nodded and got up, rushing from the room.
"What's going on?" Sakura asked. "What tapes?"
Wow…whoever did this to her is sooo dead! Review!
