The Problem From Within
Chapter 2: Learning to Accept the Truth
"Touya?" I asked. Touya looked at me and I realized that he was being controlled by Sword. For his eyes were dead, soulless.
"You know him?" Syaoran asked. I nodded. "How do you know him?" Syaoran asked.
"In the other world he was my brother. He had magical powers like me, but not as strong," I replied.
"Okay, Eriol use your magic to protect Meiling and Tomoyo. And Sakura, you stay with me. Meiling tells me, you have strong elemental magic, not as strong as mine, but strong enough to be able to defend yourself," Syaoran said sizing me up, as if to tell how strong my magic is.
"Sure, but why don't you use the clow cards?" Sakura asked.
"What! You want them to track us to our hiding spot. We have to capture these cards or they'll tell the elementals where we are. We can't risk that, since Tomoyo is very weak and Meiling and I aren't from here, we'd have to place to go to," Syaoran said.
"You mean Hong Kong, China right?" Sakura asked. Syaoran nodded. He was just about to say something when Fly and Touya with Sword landed on the cliff.
"Great! I thought we had more time than that! Eriol protect the girls! Even if I get badly injured! Protecting them is your main concern!" Syaoran ordered. Eriol nodded.
"Well, I thought that we got rid of you. Oh well, I guess I could use your brother to destroy you. Then the elementals won't have to know you survived," Sword said bitterly, through Touya.
"You remember me!?" Sakura asked shouting.
"Oh course we remember you, but too bad you'll be dead soon, and then you won't have to worry anymore," Fly replied, also bitterly.
"Huh?" that's all Sakura and Syaoran could say.
Just as Sakura and Syaoran got over the shock, Touya jumped off Fly and attacked them. Sakura and Syaoran just barely escaped. Touya didn't waste any time and went after Sakura again, and this time he got cut her arm. She managed to do a one-handed flip out of the way, just before Touya could do anymore damaged. Thankfully a fireball just passed her head, and hit Touya. Sakura turned around and saw that there were fireballs in Syaoran hand.
"How did you do that?" Sakura asked.
"When you have strong enough magical powers of a certain element, then you are able to bring forth that element. That's why I don't use the clow cards, unless I have to," Syaoran answered.
"So your element is fire," Sakura said. Syaoran nodded.
"Enough talk!" Touya bellowed.
"If we can get Sword out of my brother's hands, we can stop Sword," Sakura said.
"Alright, Sword seems to be after you, so distract him," Syaoran whispered so Touya couldn't hear.
"Right." Sakura ran one way and Syaoran ran the other way. Touya went after Sakura, so Syaoran went behind Touya. Syaoran looked at Sakura as she turned around and their eyes met. An understanding crossed between them. So Syaoran jumped over Sakura and Touya and just before the fireball Syaoran threw was going to hit Sakura, she jumped out of the way and hit Touya. Sword fell out of Touya's hands. Sword turned into a card, and Touya fell unconscious.
Just as that happened, Fly decided to tell the elementals (since Fly couldn't really attack himself). "Oh, no you don't," Sakura said. She felt this strong power flow through and Sakura let out a huge blast of wind and made Fly change into a card. Syaoran took the cards, and then Meiling gave him a small blade. He cut his finger and let some blood drip on the cards, and to her surprise Syaoran's name appeared on the cards in blood coloured writing.
"Twenty down, twenty-eight more to go before the element cards. -Syaoran looks at Sakura- I guess your element is wind," Syaoran said.
"I guess so…" Sakura said mumbling off.
"Why would the cards want to kill you?" Eriol asked.
"I don't know, the cards were always my friends, but I still don't remember all my memories," Sakura said.
"What do you mean you don't have all your memories?" Meiling asked.
"Well, I must of hit my head or something, because I didn't remember anything 'til I saw Syaoran," Sakura replied.
Just as Syaoran was going to speak, they heard a light groan coming from the ground. They look down and see that Touya was waking up. He looked at everyone and asked," Where am I? Who are you people?"
"I'm Sakura, and this is Syaoran, Meiling, Eriol, and Tomoyo," Sakura said.
"Where's Sword?" Touya asked, standing up.
"We captured it," Syaoran replied shortly.
"No, that can't be true, it just can't be," Touya said, backing off pass the entrance of the cave, and onto the cliff.
"Well it is, so calm down," Meiling said.
"No. That means I have no reason for living. I hate you all," Touya said, before turning around and jumping off the cliff.
"No!" Sakura yelled. They heard his body hit the ground and they knew he was dead. "No," Sakura said, this time a whisper.
"It is all right, don't be sad. That wasn't your brother, since this isn't your world, right?" a small voice just barely whispered. Sakura realized it was Tomoyo. "I will sing for you, and hope that you might feel better."
A tinkle in the night's sky
Far, far away
Golden star I gaze upon
In my dreams
On a sleepless evening
I sing alone
Tomorrow I'll sing with you
On the wings of a dream
On a sleepless evening
I sing alone
Tomorrow I'll sing with you
On the wings of a dream
Sakura did feel better. "Thank you," Sakura said. All Tomoyo did was smile. Sakura knew nothing would be the same anymore.
************~~~~~~~~~~**************
That's strange… I thought I heard Tomoyo sing, but that can't be right. Tomoyo is grieving, she wouldn't sing. But why is she grieving again? I can't seem to remember. Oh yeah! I remember now! I can't believe I forgot that! She is my soul mate, why would I ever forgot her? Wherever she is, I hope that she is safe. Please bring her back soon, before it's too late. It seems I keep forgetting her, every once and a while. Why is this happening to me? Please bring her before I forget her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Done! Yah for me! I'm soooo happy! But who was that at the end? And why did he forget his soul mate? Where could she be? How is that all related? All in good time, all in good time. Bye!
