Living Alone With No Memories
A/N: I know that there's grammar mistakes, so please don't tell me that in a review. English isn't my first language.
~*~
A young, pale looking girl was walking down an abandoned street. As a chilling winter wind blew by, she pulled her worn out jacket closer to her. Her auburn hair flying everyway as the wind continues to blow. All that this girl had on was a worn out jacket; a T-Shirt; a pair of ripped pants; a pair of torn socks; and a pair of worn out, torn shoes that didn't even fit her. This girl has no where to go and doesn't have a family. She has no memories of her past. All she can remember is waking up in an orphanage, and her name, Sakura. Since the orphanage was demolished, all she has been doing was walking up and down on streets, hoping to find a place to stay for the night.
As Sakura continued to walk down the street, her stomach growled with hunger. She hasn't eaten for days. Sakura tried to ignore the hunger in her stomach by thinking about other things that she could think of. Soon, she came to the end of the street and had many choices to go on from there. Sakura tried to see if she could remember if she have been here before. Looking ahead of her, Sakura saw that that street was like the one that she's on. To her left, there was a forest, and to her right, she could make out some faint images of building. In hope of finding some food, Sakura decided to take the right.
As Sakura walked, she began to feel dizzy. She knew this feeling; she had it before. No, I must try to stay up! Sakura told herself. Trying to fight the feeling of blacking out, Sakura stumbled as she continued to walk. When the feeling began to fade, Sakura look around and noticed that there was nothing in the area. It was deserted. Where am I? Sakura asked herself. Turning around to see if she could find a familiar route, the threaten feeling of blacking out came back. This time, Sakura couldn't fight it off. As the power of blacking out took over, Sakura collapsed.
As Sakura collapsed, a car, that was speeding, saw Sakura collapsed and pull on the brakes. The car stopped inches away from Sakura. The driver came out of the car and went over to see if Sakura was alright.
Is this girl crazy? Who would be walking on a highway? I better see if the girl is alright, the young man thought. As the young man walked towards Sakura, his brown hair swayed in front of his amber eyes. Many girls would scream just to see him, but he didn't like any of them. He knew that all girls are the same. They were just after his money and his looks.
The young man, Syaoran, bent over to see if he had hurt Sakura. Before Syaoran could do anything, a car passed by and honked its horn at Syaoran. Not wanting the press to find out about this; this could ruin his reputation. Syaoran quickly carried Sakura into his car and put her in the backseat and drove to his home. He knew that his mother would ask him about this.
~*~
Syaoran had gotten home and placed Sakura in a unused room. His mother was in the room checking if Syaoran had really hit her. Noting that his mother was taking a while to check on Sakura, Syaoran went to his room. Along the way to his room, he thought about what the girl's family would say if they found out that he had hit her. Preying off the thought, Syaoran entered his room.
A few hours later, Syaoran's mother came into Syaoran's room to talk about the girl.
"She's fine. You didn't hit her," Yelen, Syaoran's mother told Syaoran when she walked in.
"I didn't? But she--"
"It seem like she collapsed," Yelen cut Syaoran off, making him release a sigh of relief.
"That's good," Syaoran said.
"Well, when she wakes up, I want you to talk to her. Ask her who's her family so you can return her to them," Yelen told her son as she walked out of Syaoran's room.
Syaoran despise the idea of talking to girls. They won't listen to what he has to say, unless it involves them. He knew that he'll dread the time when the girl wakes up. All she would do is to ask him out and he won't be able to ask his questions about her family.
All girls are gold-diggers, except for HER, Syaoran thought before he fell asleep.
~*~
The next day, Syaoran hated the fact that he had to wait for the girl to wake up. Syaoran had to turn down many fun filled things that he could have done if he didn't have to wait for the girl to wake up. Hearing his cell phone ringing once more, Syaoran saw that it was just his cousin, Mei Lin.
"What, Mei Lin?" Syaoran asked, without saying "hello".
"Gee… The least you could have done was say 'hello', Syaoran," Mei Lin replied.
"Whatever. What do you want?" Syaoran asked.
"Well, I heard from your sisters that you hit a girl while you were driving," Mei Lin answered, worried about the girl more than her cousin.
"I didn't hit the girl. She just COLLASPED on the HIGHWAY," Syaoran defended.
"Whatever. I'm just calling to tell you that I'm coming over. Auntie said that you might have some trouble talking to the girl, so she asked me to help you," Mei Lin said.
"What? Listen, I DON'T need your--"
"Bye, see you later." Mei Lin said as she hung up.
Syaoran placed down his cell phone and decided to retrieve some work to do, since the girl wasn't showing any signs of waking up. He might as well let Mei Lin do all the work of talking to the girl, since she'll be doing that anyways.
While Syaoran was doing some paperwork for his family company, he heard a groan coming from the girl. Seeing that the girl was moving a bit, Syaoran placed down the paperwork to see if the girl was going to wake up. About time she woke up, Syaoran thought.
The girl slowly opened her eyes and saw that she wasn't on the streets or anything. Where am I? The girl asked herself. Sakura looked around and saw that she was in a fairly large room and thought that she was found and was in a orphanage. As Sakura looked around, she noticed that a young man was sitting in a chair, starring at her. Sakura didn't know what was going on or who the man was.
Seeing that the girl was confused, Syaoran decided to introduce himself and fill her in on what happened to her.
"I'm Li, Syaoran," Syaoran started off, getting up from his seat and walked towards the girl. He was expecting a scream or something, but didn't hear anything.
"Uh...Okay," Sakura didn't know what to say, for she hasn't been this kind of a situation before.
"You are?" Syaoran asked, noticing that the girl wasn't like the other girls.
"Uh...Sakura," Sakura looked down, wondering what was going on.
"Last name is?" Syaoran saw that this was going to be easy and didn't need Mei Lin's help.
"I don't know,"
"Where do you live?"
"I don't know," Syaoran was taken back. He had never thought that he had might cause amnesia to this girl.
"Who is your family?"
"I don't know," Syaoran, once again, was in shock. He had to wonder if this girl was an orphan.
"What do you know?" Syaoran was tired of hearing 'I don't know' from this girl, so he decided to see what the girl knows.
"Nothing," Sakura was frighten by Syaoran's presence. She didn't know what to do or say and it seem like Syaoran was getting restless with her responses.
"What do you mean by 'nothing'?" Syaoran asked, hoping that Mei Lin would show up soon, because he can't stand the way that this girl was answering and looking.
"I don't know anything. All I know is my name," Sakura explained.
"You probably have amnesia either that or you're an orphan," Syaoran told her.
"What's amnesia and orphan?" Sakura asked. She haven't heard those terms before.
Syaoran looked at the girl in shock. "Nevermind."
"Okay."
Minutes of tense passed by, and Syaoran was wishing that Mei Lin would show up soon. All of a sudden, Syaoran heard a growl and looked at Sakura. Figuring that she was hungry, Syaoran called for a servant to prepare some soup for Sakura. Syaoran looked at Sakura once more and saw that she was wearing rags. Letting out a breath of frustration, Syaoran called another servant to find some clothing for Sakura.
When Syaoran finished ordering the servants around, Mei Lin finally shows up and Syaoran quickly told Mei Lin what happened to the girl, before Mei Lin could accuse him for being a reckless driver.
"So, she barely knows anything?" Mei Lin asked, pitying for the girl.
Syaoran nodded.
"Okay, this is going to be hard," Mei Lin figured that Syaoran had probably frighten the girl to death, since she's so pale.
"Hi there, my name is Mei Lin. Your name is Sakura, right?" Mei Lin asked.
Sakura nodded.
"Do you know how you ended up here?"
Sakura shook her head.
"Well, my cousin here found you on the highway, unconscious," Mei Lin explained.
"Uh...Okay,"
"Do you remember anything?" Mei Lin asked, hoping that this girl isn't really an orphan.
"Not a lot," Sakura answered quietly, not liking the fact that all of these strangers was asking her questions that she doesn't know.
"What do you remember?"
"No one with me and no where to be and no where to eat," Sakura replied.
"Oh, okay," Mei Lin began to feel that she was lucky not to be Sakura.
A servant came in with some warm soup for Sakura, so Mei Lin took this chance to talk to Syaoran away from Sakura, knowing how some people dislike how other people stare at them when eating.
"Well, what are you going to do with her? There isn't a single orphanage here!" Mei Lin asked.
"Well, I'm not sure. I'm leaving that to Mother," Syaoran answered.
"Alright."
Taking a peek to see if Sakura was done eating, an idea came into her mind. Since Sakura doesn't know anyone, Mei Lin decided to become her friend.
"Boy, she eats slowly," Syaoran commented.
"You know, you probably shouldn't say things like that in front of her. Her feelings make get hurt," Mei Lin warned.
"Whatever," Syaoran started walk off.
"Hey, where are you going?" Mei Lin demanded.
"To Mother's." Syaoran answered back.
Syaoran found his mother in the living room, embroidering something. Yelen saw Syaoran and figured that he had finish talking with the girl. Yelen asked Syaoran what he knew about the girl. Yelen was surprised to hear that the girl was homeless and was an orphan with no memories.
"What are you going to do, Mother? I can't return her to her family when she doesn't know who her family is!" Syaoran stated.
"Well, I'm letting her stay for a while. Make an appointment with the doctor to see if he could help out." Yelen told Syaoran.
Syaoran sighed and went on to call the doctor for an appointment. While Syaoran was calling the doctor's, Yelen thought about Sakura. Although she worked, Yelen knew that sooner or later all of her children would be gone from home. Already three of her daughters have wedded, and the last daughter is engaged. She knew that Syaoran was waiting for a certain girl to show up in his life once more before he weds. Yelen decided that if they couldn't find Sakura's family, she would take Sakura in as her own. By the looks of Sakura, Yelen could tell that Sakura was a bit younger than Syaoran.
Syaoran finished calling the doctor and made an appointment in the following week. Yelen decided to out down her work for a while to see how this girl was like. Yelen got up to where Syaoran had placed Sakura the other night; she saw that Mei Lin was trying to create a conversation with Sakura.
"Oh, hello Aunt Yelen," Mei Lin greeted.
Sakura looked confused and hoped that this woman wasn't going to ask her a whole bunch of questions like Syaoran and Mei Lin did to her.
"Hello, Mei Lin. How's your mother doing these days?" Yelen asked.
"Oh, she's doing great!" Mei Lin answered.
"That's nice to hear."
"Oh, this is Sakura. Sakura, this is Syaoran's mother, Yelen," Mei Lin introduced.
"Uh...Okay," Sakura felt frighten by Yelen's presence. Yelen seemed to pick up on this.
"Don't worry. Since you don't know who your family is, you're welcome to stay here until you find your family," Yelen informed Sakura. All Sakura could do was nod, since she have no clue to what to say.
"Since you collapsed and that you seem to have amnesia, I made an appointment for you to see a doctor," Yelen continued.
"Okay," Sakura said slowly, not understanding what Yelen had just said.
After Yelen left the room, Mei Lin told Sakura that she was her friend.
"Uh..." Sakura had wanted to ask something, but she was afraid.
"Huh? Yes? It's okay to ask, after all that's friends can do!" Mei Lin told Sakura, hoping to make her feel comfortable.
"Umm...What is a friend?" Sakura asked slowly, since she wasn't use to this kind of a thing.
"You don't know what a friend is?!" Sakura shook her head. Mei Lin was in shock.
"Well, a friend is someone who makes you feel all happy and they're always there for you no matter what! A friend is also someone that you can have fun with, too," Mei Lin explained with a smile on her face.
"Uh...What is happy and fun?" Sakura asked, slowly, hoping that it was alright for her to ask.
Mei Lin knew that this was going to be a long day with Sakura asking her all these questions about simple things, but Mei Lin knew that it was right for Sakura to ask, since she wasn't exposed to this kind of a thing.
~*~
It was soon nightfall and Mei Lin decided to stay over, since Sakura wasn't as much afraid of her as she was with Syaoran. During the day, Mei Lin explained many things to Sakura, and she felt much like a teacher. Syaoran had walked in and out of the room a few times to check up on them.
Syaoran was in his room, thinking about Sakura. He knew that he haven't met with Sakura before, but she reminded him of someone that he was waiting for to return back to him.
"Where are you now?" Syaoran asked no one.
Drifting off to sleep, Syaoran last thought was about a young girl, around the age of ten, shouting out "I promise that we'll be together soon!".
