(Last time- Snape is alive? The Griffindor Prefect is evil? Yusuke is a Tsubasa fan? Sakura is the new Hufflepuff Quidditch seeker? Syaoran is jealous of Kyo because he treated Sakura to icecream? Sakura's friends don't remember Snape was dead?
Okay... next chapter time ^_^)
Unlike she had hoped, the icecream did little to raise Sakura's spirit. She returned to the Hufflepuff common room deep in thought. Had she only imagined Snape's death? If it had only been a dream, than it was as vivid as one of her returned feather memories. She sighed and wished that Syaoran was there to talk to. Wouldn't he remember visiting her in the hospital wing that morning? Sakura sat on the ledge of a tall window in her dormitory and pressed her fingers against the glass. How she longed to have the free spirit of the birds she saw twittering past the glass and swooping through the clouds that she could not reach. Sakura wished she could fly with them, but how could she with only four feathers to keep her in flight? A metallic sound met her ears as the necklace she was still wearing touched the glass. Sakura looked down at it. She had forgotten all about Yusuke's gift. Curiously, she examined the locket and read a faint inscription upon it's golden surface.
"The one that the princess of Clow will never remember is determined to return her feathers and save her life."
I'm the "pricess of Clow", Sakura thought with wonder. But who was the other? Could it be
the young boy whom her memories only portray as a silhouette? With trembling fingers, Sakura opened the locket.
Inside was a crisp image of Syaoran-kun. Her Syaoran-kun! Her heart pounded faster. What did all of this mean? Was Syaoran the one.. from her dreams? But.. how would Yusuke have know? He had called himself an otaku, a fan. What had he meant? The realization that Syaoran had been her long lost chldhood friend began to sweep over her once more. He's the one I have always loved!
Suddenly her forehead was burning with a familiar pain. She remembered- It had been when She had apologized to Syaoran in the cats eye cafe! Sakura fell from the ledge and onto the stone floor. She fought with the consuming flames that threatened to steal away that memory of her beloved. Her vision began to blurr as she struggled toward a chest of drawers and shoved the locket inside. The shadow she had been chasing was Syaoran!
"I WONT FORGET!" She shouted. The fire retaliated her act of defiance threatened to shatter the fragile memory. Agony shot through Sakura's body and she fell violently against the drawers, cutting her face on the sharp corner. As blood ran down her forehead, she bit back the pain and shouted Syaorans name. "I won't forget!"
Her blood felt like acid, burning as it made a red path from her forehead to her lips. In one instant, a thunderclap swept away the pain, and she released her tears. Her fight had been in vain. Though Sakura found herself crying, she knew not the reason for her mournful tears. In that moment all she knew, was that she was crying BECAUSE she could not remember why she was crying.
Closing her wet eyes, she faded into unconsciousess.
