You Brought Me BackChapter 15: His escape
By: Angelic Maiden Aya…yes I changed my name…but I'll be going by Aya…to much to type…
- - Syaoran's POV
Darkness was all around me, consuming my body and mind. So many questions filled me and my worries didn't leave me alone.
Where was Sakura? Was she all right?
I was so afraid for her. There was no one to save her, to give her consolation. Tears lined my eyes as I rolled my head slowly to the right. I was never going to see her again…
I slowly pulled myself up from the stone floor and brushed the dirt and grime off of me. I had fallen into some sort of pit with no doors and the smoothest of walls. The only things that accompanied me were the grime on the floor and the darkness surrounding me.
I looked up, hoping to see the faintest amount of light, but I was disappointed. I let my body fall to the ground and soon I was placed into a fitful sleep.
- - Tomoyo's POV
"Syaoran! SYAORAN! ANSWER ME, DAMMIT!" I screamed into the pit. Eriol and I had watched Syaoran simply fall down into this enormous pit as he tried saving Sakura from the evil man. "Syaoran…"
"Tomoyo it's…no use," Eriol said softly to me. He sat down and gently rubbed my shoulders.
Now we had the biggest choice in the world…try and save Syaoran if he's even alive…or save Sakura.
- - Sakura's POV
I slowly watched Syaoran fall…
My life shattering before me…
This couldn't be…he had to live…
His eyes left mine and I pulled out of my reverie, trying to grab his hands that were no longer there. I screamed his name and clawed at the man who was holding me.
"You bastard! How…how could you?!?!?!" He said nothing. He just kept walking away from the pit…away from Syaoran…
"LET ME DOWN!" I started pulling flesh almost…until his hand grabbed my wrist in the hardest grip imaginable. Then I noticed I was out of his hold and sitting on the cold, stone floor with only one wrist in his grasp.
"Woman…" he spoke softly. "I have no need for you except of your fortune…so SHUT UP!" he pulled me up harshly and more like dragged me down the hallway.
"No…no…please…let me go!" I pleaded. I grabbed at his hand once more…but before I could react, he punched me so hard on the back of my head that I fainted.
- - Sakura's Dream POV
Honey…
Honey…
Wake up honey…
Time for breakfast…
You're going to be late…
I slowly opened my eyes and watched the heavenly body of a woman disappear behind a door. Long gray hair fluttered in waves behind her as her light body rummaged through a small closet in this room.
"Honey…" She turned to face me…and my body went to mush. I fell back onto the soft bed, holding my head.
"No…it couldn't be…" I mumbled slowly, tears beginning to stream down my face… "You can't be alive…"
"You're right," she said, smiling, "I'm not alive…but I am your mother. I have missed you a lot, Sakura…it's been how long? 17 years? Wow…you've grown into a beautiful young woman." She walked over to the bed and tossed the dress I was wearing on the bed. "You are in a lot of trouble…now."
"That man…keeps chasing after me…even after Dad, Touya, and Yukito…died," I solemnly replied.
"Poor Yukito…he was killed only because he was visiting." I looked at her…how did-?
"I know…? They live with me in heaven, Sakura. But that is not what we have come to tell you."
"We…? Tell…?" All of a sudden, three men walked into the room…Dad…Touya…Yukito.
"Sakura…you are in grave danger…you must try to win this fight and bring down this man," Yukito said right off the bat. I stared at him…it was really him.
"Sakura…you must save everyone…everyone's future…depends on you at the moment," my father said.
"Well…squirt…they said everything I wanted to say…except for the fact that we miss you gravely…and wish we were still in your life to protect you," Touya finished.
"Just knowing you guys are watching over me…has…helped me…a lot." I stared at each one of them…the people who I hadn't seen in years were right in front of me…close enough to touch and see. It was a miracle I could see even see them…
"Well…Sakura, we must say our goodbyes."
"What? Why? We've only just reacquainted! I haven't seen you in so long…it's too early!" The dress that lay on the bed reappeared on my body and the bodies of my family faded gently away. "NO COME BACK!"
"We love you…"
I love you, too!
- - Syaoran's Dream POV
Hey, pretty boy…wake up! We don't have time for you!
Touya!
Son, be nice!
I pushed myself up into a sitting position and watched the family in front of me scold someone. Who were these people?
"We are Sakura's family…and we need—" Sakura's dad started.
"Whoa wait…you can read minds?"
"Yes," Touya answered a little annoyed. I stared at him. I could tell he didn't like me…if he was alive…I would have had to run away…
"Anyways…we need you to save Sakura…she's in danger and needs help for she is too weak and emotional," Nadeshiko continued.
"If I could, I would."
"Why not, you little—"
"TOUYA!" Touya crossed his arms over his chest and remained quiet. "What is wrong, young one?" her mother asked, donning a smile.
"I was about to save her, but I fell down into a pit." Suddenly, a conniving laugh erupted in the room.
"That's a good one!" Touya replied, holding his stomach and laughing.
"Touya! Do you want your sister to die?!" Nadeshiko yelled.
He fiddled with his fingers then looked at his mother with puppy-dog eyes. "I didn't mean it…" Nadeshiko sighed.
"Touya, just be…quiet," his father said, staring at his son. Touya nodded, then when his mother and father turned their backs, scowled and pretended to rip off Syaoran's head.
"We need you to save Sakura. She's in grave danger right now and needs the one she loves by her side." My eyes widened. She loves me? Well, it's not like I didn't know…I mean, she did talk about it some. But I guess I wasn't thinking about it thoroughly…but she LOVES me…
My heart did a flip as I sighed.
"You can get my sister out of your head!" Touya yelled suddenly.
"Touya, he's happy and she's happy! One more outburst and I will send you home!" He shut up and walked to a corner of the room. "Now to get you out of here…"
- - Sakura's POV
"Please no! Don't! Don't take that away from me! Please!" I begged and begged. The man came nearer with a small vial filled the dreaded liquid I despised the most. The one that took me voice away. "No please." I lowered my head and continued to cry my crystal tears, dripping from my face to my dress.
I felt someone's hand roughly grab my chin and forced my head up, making me look into his cold, dark, emotionless eyes. "I love a woman in pain…" He began to stroke my long hair, lovingly, letting my poor chin go. "Makes the woman look even more beautiful!"
"You sick bastard!" I screamed. The ropes on my arms cut into my skin, making sickening scars. I was tied to an uncomfortable chair when I came to. It was hard to move anything because everything felt like mush. I had stared around, noticing the unkempt room and the evil air surrounding it. The chair I was in was solid cherry wood, like everything in the room, beautiful, but dark at the same time.
"Now, now. That's not the most heavenly word, you know," he pointed out sarcastically. "But I have something that can change that," he sang, pulling the cork from the top of the vial. I pursed my mouth closed and lowered my head, wriggling around trying to loosen the ropes tied around my hands and ankles.
But…
It didn't happen.
I could feel the sickly liquid sting down my throat, burning everything within its path with its indubitable greed. More tears poured from my eyes as I remembered my talking and singing… This just couldn't be happening!!
"My dear…this way you can't scream."
'But I thought…' I said…but no words came out. I was without my voice…again.
"No…no…don't want lover-boy interrupting us." He began to untie my ropes, and then when all of them were deposited on the floor, I brought my hands immediately to my face and cried. This was just horrible! I just got it back! Why 'd he have to take it away!
I felt the man's hands on my body, but I was so stressed I didn't even care…my body just felt way…too……weak.
- - Syaoran's POV
Nadeshiko had given a pair of twin daggers that were passed down in her family for the longest time she had said.
I was to use it somehow to get out of the pit along with them…but I had no idea how. The walls were as smooth as silk with not even a jagged edge at the top. I stared at the blades, admiring the craftsmanship and sharpness of the blade. Wait…sharpness…maybe if I…
I thrust the blade into the wall and it slid in as if there were a slot for it. Yes, this is how I could get out. I thrust the other dagger into the wall maybe a foot up and began to climb, alternating blades with each move. 1, 2…1, 2…1, 2…1, 2…
I began to see a brighter light as I neared the top of the pit…I was almost out…I pulled the dagger out of the recess in the wall, my arms burning with even the slightest movement. But I had to make it to Sakura. I had to!
With one final push of strength I grabbed the brim of the floor. Fresh cooled air struck my face and for once I'm glad I hadn't given up.
After a moment in my thoughts, I pulled myself onto the floor and lay down, relaxing my extremely sore muscles. I groaned…that was harder than I thought.
I sat up, suddenly wondering where Eriol and Tomoyo were. Where could they be?
I decided I would go find them as well as find Sakura.
- - Tomoyo's POV
"Don't you think that was bad…just leaving Syaoran like that…I mean he could still…be…alive…" I looked down and a fresh new wave of tears filling my eyes.
Eriol grabbed my shoulders and pulled me to him. "Tomoyo…Syaoran…I don't think…he made it…it was such a long fall and no human could survive that…it's hard for me to believe too, but it's more likely true that he's…dead…" I burst out sobbing this time…it was just too hard to believe. Eriol turned around, alert. Something troubled him. "Tomoyo…someone's coming. Hide behind me…"
Eriol moved back into a corner hidden by the shadows and I followed him. I finally heard the footsteps.
Beat…beat…beat…beat…beat…beat
He was walking rather slowly. Then the footsteps became louder and louder till they were nearly upon us.
"Stay back…there's only one…so I'm going to attack him…" I nodded, though he couldn't see me.
"Be careful," I whispered.
Beat…beat…beat…beat…
Eriol jumped at him and pushed him to the ground, ready to strike his face, but all he hit was air. The person was standing right behind him glaring at him. No it couldn't be…
"SYAORAN! OMG YOU'RE ALIVE!!!" I screamed jumping on him giving the biggest bear hug of all.
"The ears, Tomoyo, the ears!!" Syaoran yelled rubbing them till they were red. "I can't hear now…I'm DEAF!" I got off him and ran to Eriol with fake tears in my eyes. Syaoran turned around and the expression on his face changed. "I'm sorry…I was only playing…"
"Yeah right…just wait till I tell Sakura…she'll kick your butt!" Eriol laughed a little, but became super serious.
"Syaoran…don't you think it's a little…silent…right now? There hasn't been any obstacles or minions or anything for us…"
"Yeah…it is a little…quiet…" Syaoran looked around then began to walk around. "Sakura's around here somewhere…I can smell her faint scent…that of cherry blossoms…"
"Are you sure, Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked. Syaoran stared at a door in front of them…
"Yeah…and it's warmer around over here…near that door…someone's been in it recently," Syaoran answered, walking towards the door. Eriol and Tomoyo followed him, anticipation building up within them…
and then he opened the door.

Hmmm…. where'd that come from… -whistles and runs away-
