Forever in a MemoryChapter 3: Remembering
- - Sakura's POV
Guess where I was…come on I'll give you a wild guess…
Don't know?
I'm at work…AGAIN! Oh well…I still had dreams of that Syaoran guy…maybe memories. Ones of where I was trapped and he tried his hardest to save me. Some when I went to a big party…he was there. Ones where he was talking to me as if I had no voice…
Voice…
Well…here it goes…I smiled. I had no idea why I was doing it for, but I did. Tomoyo's and Eriol's eyes lit up immensely. "She's never smiled! Not after she was put into the hospital." My smile faltered, and soon my mouth had been turned upside down. I was finally out of the hospital and she had to mention it…
The man stuck his hand out for a handshake. "I'm Syaoran Li, I'm going to be your new psychologist."
Syaoran was my psychologist…I was mute…well nearly! But I remembered! I remembered part of my past!
I ran up to Chiharu, who was standing right next to me, and hugged her. I was so happy!
"What is it Sakura?" she asked.
"I remembered part of my past!"
"That's great Sakura!" she exclaimed, hobbling into the back room to tell her hubby.
"I'm leaving Chiharu! My turn to clean house!" That was a lie, but I wanted to find this Syaoran guy! He was part of my past and he could help me!
- - Later…
I ran home and changed quickly, rushing out the door. He was a detective…I was sure of it, plus he was wearing a PD jacket…sooooo I was probably right.
I ran past the diner, hoping Nancy wouldn't spot me…
She didn't or she would've been screaming my name at the top of her lungs. Thank goodness she didn't.
The police headquarters were soon in view. It was a tall building reaching up several stories, and all the bottom floors were parking lots for the police cars.
I ran inside and up to the service counter.
- - Syaoran's POV
I sat up in my office for a little bit then decided…well my stomach decided that lunch was near… or right now for instance. I went down the elevator continued down the hallway towards the kitchen.
"Hi…ummmm…does Syaoran Li work here…?" a very familiar voice asked.
"Uhhh…duh…" That was the new intern, Sophi…she was mean and very stuck up…I walked out near the service desk.
"What do you want with him?" Sophi sneered. I saw the girl shudder. She looked a lot like…
"I wanted…to ask him…a question…" That voice! I continued to the desk.
"Well, he's busy!" I rested my arm on the desk and stared at Sophi. Her eyes widened. "Ummm actually he isn't at the moment." I looked down at Sakura and she turned her head to look at mine.
"Would you like to go for lunch…I'm a little hungry…" She smiled and nodded her head yes. I grabbed her hand and it felt as if none of the Dod O. Brain stuff happened…it was just me and her…beautiful…
- - Sakura's POV
"Okay I'll be back with your order in about 10 minutes."
"Thank you," I said happily as the waitress smiled and left. I turned towards Syaoran.
"You wanted to talk to me about something, Sakura?" he asked suddenly.
"Uhhh…yes. Ummmmmmmmmm…last night I couldn't get to sleep. Well…when I finally did…I had visions……of you…and other things, too…" I answered timidly, my face burning.
"What things of me?" he pressed on.
"Well…you were my doctor…and I had visions of ones where I would scream but no one would hear me. Like I was mute or something…"
"Are you remembering your past! Finally after all this time?" He had tears in his eyes. "I was your psychologist because you were mute when you turned the age of fifteen. Something happened to you, but no knows what it is, that is, till you tell us."
"Us…?"
"Yes, Tomoyo and Eriol."
"Tomoyo…and Eriol…?" I looked to my hands in my lap. I felt tears coming…why were they coming! Who were Tomoyo and Eriol?
"Tomoyo has been your best friend since forever and Eriol is another friend of yours and also Tomoyo's boyfriend…now fiancé…"
I jumped up and out of the blue I yelled, "They're getting married!" But as soon as I said it, the feeling of finding my past left me. That one step blocked. Mr. Li's eyes were nearly bulging.
He jumped up also, hugging me in a bone-crushing hug. "Do you remember! Do you remember me!" I stiffened. He was my psychologist…I'm not sure! I broke from the hug and stared at Mr. Li as if he was poison. Then I ran away. Too much at once…
- -
I didn't know how far I ran…but I do know that Mr. Li didn't follow me. I stared around me. Tall Victorian mansions were lined everywhere with beautiful fountains and orchards and so much more. I continued to walk down the street, after catching my breath.
This place was familiar…I could tell.
I looked around. On my right, there was a large house with a grand wall surrounding it. I walked up to the speaker and read the name of the people who lived there. Maybe they could tell me where I was and how I could get out of this area.
Daidouji
That name…
"Here use this!" I handed the girl an eraser and she took it gratefully. "My name is Sakura by the way!"
"I'm Tomoyo Daidouji! I know we'll be great friends!"
I grabbed my head, letting out a grunt.
"Would you like to come over for dinner? My family would love to meet you!"
I fell to the floor.
"My mother absolutely loves you! She says you look like her cousin Nadeshiko!"
"Nadeshiko is the name of my mother!"
"Then we may be cousins, too!"
I screamed.
"Tomoyo…please don't leave…why do you have to go…"
"It'll only be a little…three weeks…"
I thrashed my head from side to side.
Tomoyo…you left me…I'm all alone…my family…massacred…my life ruined…Tomoyo…why didn't you stay!
I screamed an ear-shattering scream then fell forward onto the ground shaking…I remember…
- - Tomoyo's POV
"Oh Eriol…she's starting to remember some things…so what Syaoran says…" Tears left her violet eyes. "I can't take what happened to her away! I shouldn't have left!" Eriol hugged me tightly.
"It's not your fault…we need to support her as best we can. If she's hurting then we start all over…it's the best we can do…"
"But her life…it's been ruined…ever since told her only three weeks…"
"MISS!" A maid screamed, rushing into the room. "Miss Sakura! She's fainted and out on the path!" I rushed past her and didn't stop till I got within sight on Sakura. Her body was in a heap and there were signs of her crying. I cradled her. It was my fault now I need to find a way to fix it.
"Eriol…could you take her inside?" I ask softly.
"Sure…"
- - Sakura's POV
I opened my eyes slowly, the light blinding me for a moment. I stared upward. So I remember…everything…fifteen years old and torn apart from a family that had raised me since birth, a brother and father who pushed me to what I was, and a home that held my memories.
I rolled over. Nothing was the same anymore. I had lost my family. I lost my best friend. I lost…the only person I gave my heart to. I sighed.
I thought and thought hard…but it was weird I couldn't seem to remember much from the last moments I just experienced…just the capture and the bomb then darkness…
Shudder…
Why was I picked for this? Why was I the one that endured the pain? Why in the hell was there a psycho trying to steal what little fortune is still left in my name! Then again…I am the only one who can open it…not even immediate family knew…my mother trusted me with the knowledge on how to open the spacious vault…then she died…but I was too young to figure out anything. Now I know…I know that he will be after me once again.
