Chapter 6

Syaoran's Return

Eriol's father went on, he said there was once another person with the exact same disease, they still remained on earth, as a ghost. In order to bring Syaoran back to life, they would have to find that ghost and ask it how they could ressurect Syao, then they'd have to cure his disease, in which the ghost also knew how to do. Eriol explained that the ghost stayed in a village close by them, he wasn't too hard to find in the haunted village, but if you didn't know what he looked like or his name, he could be hard to find. He also made it very clear that by bringing Syaoran back to life, he might not remember anything or anyone, so Sakura would have to fill in his memory. Sakura thought about it for a few minutes, then agreed, it would be hard, but at least Syaoran would be back with her and hopefully never have to leave her again.

Now Sakura would not be allowed to say who had brought Syaoran back to life, because if this was going to happen the right way, no one should know of the person who ressurected Syaoran. Eriol's father then got up and left the room, Eriol dismissed Sakura then Tomoyo a couple minutes later. He kept her behind to throw in a lil kiss and a hug ;D. On Sakura and Tomoyo's way home, they talked about what had happened in Eriol's house (and what happened after). Sakura was so excited to get her Syao back, even if she had to refresh his memory.

On the weenend Eriol called Sakura and Tomoyo to his house again and informed their parents that they might be out all weekend, and that they would be home Sunday night before supper and he would also have them for supper. Their parents were happy to see that Sakura and Tomoyo were going to have some fun that weekend. So they allowed them to go with Eriol and his father. When Sakura and Tomoyo arrived at Eriol's house, they left for the village immidiately, Sakura was desparate to ressurect Syao.

"So how long are we going to be gone?" Tomoyo asked.

"All weekend if we have to to ressurect Syaoran and revive him." Eriol answered for his father who was too busy driving the car to notice what was going on.

I can't believe it, my Syaoran, ressurected by me and Eriol's father, and help from the two lovers here. Sakura thought. "So this will take all weekend?"

"Yes Sakura, calm down by the way, you're too excited for your own good." Eriol explained.

"Alright..." Sakura finished.

Half an hour passed, they were almost there, almost at the ghost's village, and Sakura tried her hardest to be patient (I wouldn't be able to calm myself down at all, I would be too excited, he he, I would never calm down, even when he was ressurected). As more time passed, everyone was starting to get even more excited even the two new lovers Tomoyo and Eriol. Eriol's father explained when they got there they might end up surrounded by a ton of ghosts that would ask their names and why they were there. He explained that they would have to tell of their names and that they were there looking for the spirit known by Yama, the great priest. If they did not say either one, they would probably end up held captive for entering their territory. They shortly arrived and said what needed to be said, they were greeted happily and quietly but were kept a close eye on. Eriol's father told them to stay in the car while he went to Yama's house, where she had remained after she died. She died 50 years before Syaoran was born (he was her reincarnation). He entered Yama's house, not surprised to see her sitting and thinking. He introduced himself and she greeted him calmly. They talked for a while then Eriol returned to his car with good news, he told Sakura, Yama was able to ressurect Syaoran if she had a few favors, she needed to know where Syao was and what he looked like, then she could ressurect him and he would have all his memories back, but if she did it wrong, Syao would not remember her. So Sakura went in to the house and told Yama exactly what she had told Eriol's father. Yama went to Syaoran's grave and they dug him out, making sure no one saw what they were doing, they went at night time just in case. By morning, everyone was so exhausted. Everyone slept untill noon, when they awoke, Yama had Syaoran all cleaned up and ready to be ressurected, the prosess could take the rest of the day, but it was worth it, especially for Sakura.

"Is everyone ready to help me out?" Yama asked.

"Yes." Tomoyo answered for the group.

"Alright, lets practice outside on a dead tree, when the cherry blossoms bloom, we will know the tree is alive." Yama explained and led them outside to a dead cherry blossom tree by the pond Yama started. "This cherry tree was once a blossoming tree that we all happily worshipped in this village, it died a week ago and its cherry blossoms all fell to the ground. It stood 15 feet high and never lost it's blossoms. We all wish very much for this cherry blossom tree to live again for I, Yama have the power to ressurect this tree if the spirit of this tree will still listen and co-operate with me." Sakura, Eriol, and Tomoyo said a couple words and to their surprise, the cherry tree was blossoming. It had worked, so it would also work on Syaoran.

They all entered the house once again where Syaoran layed and they all started to think of what to say in the ressurection, Sakura knew what she was going to say and so did Tomoyo and Eriol, his father didn't though, but he eventually thought of something. They told what they wanted to say to Yama and she started the ressurection. It took about a half an hour to say all she needed to say, but when she finished Syaoran started breathing, he was asleep but breathing, Sakura's eyes filled with tears, her Syaoran was back with her. Once the sun set and Sakura was alone with Syao, his eyes started to open. Once he saw Sakura he smiled...and Sakura smiled back...
